The couple froze, a flicker of panic flashing across their faces before the woman quickly recovered. "You're mistaken! We're his adoptive parents!" she blurted, her words tumbling over each other.

Felix narrowed his eyes, stepping closer. "Funny how that detail was never mentioned in his records," he said, his voice now cold and deliberate. "Do you really expect us to believe this story?"

The woman faltered, her eyes darting nervously between the team. The man, however, tried to push past them. "We don't need to explain ourselves to you!" he snapped, his voice rising in fake indignation.

"Wrong answer," Lee Know murmured, his voice low and dangerous as he stepped in, blocking the man's path with a predatory grace. "You're not going anywhere until we know exactly who you are and why you're here."

The woman's hand trembled as it moved toward her pocket. But before she could reach it, Lee Know caught her wrist in an iron grip. "Ah, ah," he drawled, his tone mocking but lethal. "What's the rush? Got something you shouldn't have?"

The sound of a metallic clatter drew everyone's attention as a syringe fell from her pocket and rolled across the floor.

Y/N bent down, picking it up with deliberate slowness, her eyes narrowing as she examined it. "A syringe," she said, her voice sharp and cutting through the air like ice. "Planning to pay Min-jae a little visit, were we?"

The man took a step back, only to find himself cornered by Hyunjin and Changbin. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," Hyunjin said, his voice a deadly whisper.

Seungmin's expression was unreadable as he crouched to pick up the contents of the woman's spilled handbag. Among the items was a piece of paper with Min-jae's surgery details scrawled on it. He held it up for the team to see, his gaze cold and calculating. "Looks like they had a plan," he said, his tone eerily calm.

Chan stepped forward, his presence commanding. "You've got one chance to tell us the truth," he said, his voice low and threatening. "Who sent you?"

The woman's façade cracked, and her voice rose in a shrill, desperate scream. "You can't stop it! It's already too late! He'll die just like the others, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Her words sent a chill through the team, but Chan didn't flinch. "Get them out of here," he barked. "Secure them. They're not leaving until we get answers."

As Han and I.N dragged the struggling couple away, the man's screams echoed down the corridor. "You think you're safe? You think you've won? You're all already part of the game!"

The doors to the surgery room remained closed, the sterile red light above them glowing ominously. Inside, Min-jae fought for his life. Outside, the team stood in grim silence, the weight of the couple's cryptic warning hanging heavy in the air.

Y/N broke the silence, her voice steady but filled with resolve. "If they think this ends here, they've underestimated us."

Chan nodded, his eyes dark. "This isn't over. Not by a long shot."
