Chapter Text
"Let's go over it one more time" the woman in black suit said as she pointed at a whiteboard that was filled with notes and pictures "So they're 7 boys. I trust that each one of you had watched some videos of your appointed member so you will be able to recognize them from the rest"
The 10 men surrounding her nodded as they listened to their leader. They were currently in the woman's house and going over their plan once more for the big day tomorrow. Months of planning, observing and stalking had let up to this point. Tomorrow they were going to be rich when the members of BTS came to the airport to depart to their next destination on their world tour. The woman had been making plans for years but each one of them had failed so far, but then one of her loyal 'servants' had come up with the idea to attack the boys at their most vulnerable.
It wasn't a coincidence that the leader had taken an interest in BTS. They were RICH, but more artists had a lot of money. But not many artists had this many fans, but most importantly: determined fans. Everywhere they went, they were surrounded by tens of hundreds of fans. But BTS were only 7 members along with their managers and a handful of bodyguards. Sometimes they had a couple of more bodyguards depending on the situation but most of the time, they would be largely outnumbered and very vulnerable...
There were a handfull of situations where BTS were outnumbered: like during their concerts. But attacking BTS during their concert wasn't ideal. The group of attackers wanted to use the large number of fans as distraction to take the members when their bodyguards couldn’t protect them from anyone around them. The leader had planned to get some of her guys into a concert carrying a few bombs made from small fireworks as they didn't want to harm the fans, they just wanted something that made a lot of noise so the crowd would panic and run without thinking. It would create a major distraction and leave the members vulnerable, just like they wanted. But the downside of doing it during a concert, was the building itself. The distance between the podium and the first row of fans was at least 2-3 meters and usually not only the bodyguards of BTS, but also bodyguards of the building itself were standing in between them. By the time the fans would run towards the podium to swallow the members into the crowd, they would already have been brought backstage into safety so that plan came with more cons than anything.
So after a few attempts, they decided to forget about the concerts and focus on a different situation. Hotels were too guarded and usually had an underground parking lot, so that was basically impossible as well. Attacking them on the road was risky since they were heavily dependent on the traffic around them. If there was a traffic jam, then their plan would be destroyed. If they caused an accident, they could lose one of their own. So no, that was not an ideal situation. But maybe they could figure something out when the boys arrived at the airport.
Most airports were huge. Especially the departure halls were usually wide and large open doors, allowing hundreds, sometimes maybe even thousands of fans to gather around to wait for their idols. Even though there was a special lounge for VIP passengers, every passenger still needed to check-in and pass security to get there. So that's how the group came up with the idea to plan an attack during their departure for their tour. They waited patiently until Bighit announced their concert schedule and then they got to work. They knew exactly when the members were going to be in which country and at what time their airplane was going to depart. Despite it being hard, it was done in a few hours by the experts.
However, the hardest part was to predict how BTS was going to react. How were their bodyguards, managers and the members themselves going to react if the crowd suddenly panicked and went running around in chaos? So, the 10 men and woman watched hundreds of fans videos on YouTube to watch how the members usually arrived and interacted at an airport. They were always walking together, which was something positive and negative. Negative since it would be easier to take one separate member, usually the weak link in a heard of deer for example. But the positive side was that if they were going to the same place to get to safety, the attackers could strengthen their forces at one spot instead of being divided.
But it was quite hard to predict what would happen. The crowd could run into one direction or into multiple directions. The members could be separated or could stick together. They just had to find out and prepare for every scenario.
"So when the boys are halfway, that's around desk number 15, Charlie is going to activate the fireworks. At that point fans will be surrounding them almost 360 degrees, only apart from the pathway that leads towards the security door up ahead. We don't know how the fans will react, but I'm quite certain that a large group will try to run towards security. Another part will probably run towards the exits and another group will run around without thinking. It will be chaos, so watch your appointed member and don't lose them!" the woman continued "As we can tell from the blueprints, we have a couple of places where the bodyguards could take the members to safety but keep your eyes open for other places. Those are highly trained bodyguards and it’s their job to protect the members, so they could surprise you"
"We will use nonlethal ammunition primarily, but each one of you will be carrying lethal ones as well in case of an emergency. Remember: our goal is to get as many members as possible without any casualties. But our safety goes above theirs, so only use them if you need to. The getaway car will be ready at the staff's parking lot. Once we get to destination B, we will record the ransom video and if everything goes according to plan, we will be millionaires in the end of 24 hours mark"
The men nodded and looked at each other will large smiles and hunger in their eyes. Two of them were making gestures with their hands as if they were throwing and catching money and the others laughed and hugged each other. The woman smirked and looked at her whiteboard to look at the pictures of the 7 members.
"Sleep tight boys, tomorrow will be your worst day ever", the leader said with a sadistic glee in her eyes.
~-~-~
Taehyung, Hoseok, Jungkook, Jimin, ...... and Yoongi, Seokjin and Namjoon. Yes, the group was complete. Sejin counted while smiling and motioned for his favorite boys to gather around him after they had stepped out of the two vehicles.
"Okay you know the drill. There are a lot of fans today, so stay together and keep walking. Don't stop and don't make any sudden moves."
"Yes hyung" 7 voices sounded behind their masks. The manager smiled again and patted Seokjin on his back who stood next to him "Let's go then."
Like usual, the boys started to walk towards the entrance and as soon as the doors opened loud cheering and yelling could be heard from the big hoard of fans. It wasn't the first time that the departure hall was filled with this many fans, but each time the bodyguards and managers were on edge regardless. Every time a handful of stubborn fans tried to make a run for it and come closer to one of the members. But thankfully, it always remained to a handful and not the entire crowd.
"They're so many" Hoseok said happily to Yoongi who was walking next to him. The rapper said nothing and kept walking since he had never like big crowds like this. The dancer however was the complete opposite and tried to wave and smile at each one of them being the social butterfly that he was.
"Keep walking Hoseok" Sejin said as he came closer to his side and wrapped an arm around his biceps to nudge him forward. The manager looked over his shoulder and was relieved to see that Jungkook and Jimin were following them close behind. The two Busan boys had a tendency to get playful with each other and slow down because of it, but the great amount of people must have overwhelmed them as well, because he could clearly see two sets of wide eyes scanning the area around them. Sejin then turned around to watch the last three members. Seokjin and Taehyung were walking at the front as the younger one had draped an arm over the older one's shoulder, and behind them was Namjoon following them as he walked on his own.
It was going rather well. The fans were attentive as they kept their distance even though there weren't fences to hold them back, and to their surprise only 2 girls had tried to come closer and one of them was tackled by ARMY fans before the bodyguards could push her away. While the other was taken care of by the guards. Everything was going well until...
A large bang was heard behind a large group of fans on the right side when they were halfway through the mega departure hall. The loud echoing noise made everyone, BTS as well as the fans stop in their track and look at where the noise had come from. But when the bang was followed by another one, the crowd suddenly screamed and started to run into every direction, including the members. Pure panic overtook their minds as their only priority was to get out of this place.
"Yoongi, get here! Namjoon…!" Sejin yelled above the loud screams. His eyes went wide when a large crowd of people was running directly at them with full speed. The manager had tightened his grip on Hoseok's arm, so tight it would surely leave a couple of bruises, and thankfully he managed to get a hold on Yoongi before they were swarmed with tens of panicking girls who were pushing them everywhere.
"Namjoon! Namjoon!!" Sejin yelled again while he was struggling to stay on his feet with two members tucked into his side. The manager was desperately looking around for the young rapper and the other members. He had always been proud at his height and right now he felt blessed that he could easily watch over everyone's heads to look for some familiar faces, but he could only see girls and more girls. But when he tried to look behind him for Jungkook and Jimin, he almost lost his balance as a girl was being pushed into his back from behind.
"Sir follow me" a bodyguard said when he had reached the trio. The muscled man took Yoongi's free arm and shielded his right side and made a way into the moving crowd.
"No no no" Sejin muttered as he was being pushed forwards. He didn't want to leave, not before he had his 7 members safely around him, but the bodyguard clearly had a different plan. But right before the bodyguard could lead them towards a closed door, Sejin spotted a male in the distance. His heart sped up immediately but when the man turned around slightly, he didn't recognize him. Sejin felt air leave his body as panic returned at full force.
Where were his boys? His panic mind kept the words going in a loop without many answers
