Staying? (1/1)

“Mika, stop!” The dhamphir could hear Taehee’s voice, but did not let the demon go. He also did not move his knife. Taehee finally caught up to him, along with Seon and a girl Mika also recognized. He thought he remembered her name…maybe Hyuna? “Taehee, you do realize that this is a demon, don’t you? It’s dangerous,” Mika glanced at him, then back at the demon, who had not moved. Taehee was out of breath, so Seon spoke for him. “Mika, that is one of our guys. His name is Haru,” he smiled. “Now, please let his go, and we can go introduce you to everyone. Deal?” Mika sighed, easing the knife away from his throat. Haru stood to his feet, moving closer to Seon. “I think introductions would be nice,” Haru said, rubbing his throat where the cold metal had been and casting Mika a wary look.  Taehee sighed. “Let’s go up to the house, okay?” He got distracted when he felt his phone vibrating. He took it out, and winced when he saw that it was from Minho. He had not heard anything from his brother all day, and he was hoping he would still want to meet with him again. He was curious about the text, but right now he needed to fix the immediate problem of having members that were not introduced to one another. It was going to get someone killed if they stayed this way. They went to the house and Taehee called a meeting. When everyone was there, he began the introductions.  “Guys, I am sure that most of you remember Mika, Karam, Hyunmin and Injun. They were here last year, but left for personal reasons.” He ignored Yooseung’s sigh and continued. “I have been in the process of splitting the work into teams, as we have gained more members. I have also been considering giving Mika his own team. He is an experienced leader, and I think you guys will work well under him.” He glanced at Mika, who nodded. “Anyway, you guys should remember the people I am going to name off, beginning with myself and my now second, Yooseung. You guys probably remember him as Jino, but his name has since changed,” he moved on to the next person. “You guys also remember our lovely ladies,” he smiled at them. “Jihyun, Gayoon, Hyuna and Jiyoon. They have been with us from the beginning, when my father decided to hire people.”  He moved on down the line. “The other guys. Seongwon, who has been an acting leader in  most activities. I am pretty sure he will get his own team, when I split things up. Next we have his and Karam’s brothers, Jaejoong and Jonghyun,” he smiled at Mika and his dongsaengs. “The rest are new. I will introduce you to them, also.”  Taehee turned to the other line. “Ladies first, so the next person is Ailee. She is a member from America, and has been a good friend of mine for many years. She came here eleven months ago,” he glanced at Mika again. “When Siwoo died…Our other lovely lady is Sohyun, who joined us a few months ago. She is the same age as Jay.”  He looked at the newcomers again before continuing. “You guys already met our healer, Red. He has been with us for about six months, and has helped us through many ordeals. We were fortunate to find him. Next is Haru, a demon who came to us for protection this Spring. He is not malicious, and has been a huge asset, especially with tracking. Next is Hyunwoo, but he also goes by T.O. He is easily recognized because of his past, and that is why he wears the sunglasses.” Taehee smiled at the last guy in line, and he received a huge grin, in return.  “Last, but not least, we have Jerry. He is the youngest guy on the team, but he has shown that he is not to be underestimated because of his age,” Taehee nodded at Yooseung, and everyone began to sit back down. He turned to Mika. “So, are you still in? We would be happy to have you guys on our teams.” Mika glanced at everyone, then nodded. “I trust you, Taehee. I am in, and am pretty sure the rest of my guys are, also.” Karam smiled at him, and Injun and Hyunmin nodded.  Taehee smiled. “Thank you. You guys have no idea how much this means to me. I will work on the teams, and see where everyone will be best, if that is alright with everyone.”  Mika nodded. “I’m okay with it, but…I would like to request having Jay on the same team as myself. I know he can take care of himself, but I still worry. I hope you guys understand.” Taehee nodded. “I do understand. He’s your maknae, and I was planning on putting him on the same team as you, in the first place. What about your others?” Mika shook his head. “I don’t think there is
