________________________

The room was empty with nothing in it except for a single gun with a fully loaded magazine. I pick it up just in case, and look around for something else. The screams i heard from here, it was Seonghwa, so why wasn't he here. I don't know what happened, but someone or something took him.

This looks all too familiar, like I've been here before. There has to be something else in this room, i know what i heard. The walls look dainty, like there's something hidden behind them. Beyond those walls is something i will find, i know what i'm looking for. I feels them, there stone and smooth, like they've been polished right this second.

There's no visible cracks in them, but i know it's been sealed. I press down on the walls trying to see if there's some kind of hidden passage way like those you see in movies. My head is aching right now and it hurts so bad. My vision is worse, i can't see a thing. I try to walk but i only fall, my eyes shut in the process. I passed out.

I feel my eyes open though, only minutes later and when i look up the wall is cracked open. It's waiting for me to come see what's inside. I hear the sounds of a knife dragging along the stone wall and the slight giggling of my friend. I crawl inside, letting my curiosity get to me. I see him, it's Seonghwa and he doesn't look so good from what i can tell.

His back is faced towards me but i can tell he's not okay. His skin is bruised and peeled, marks of a cattle rod that's been dug in his flesh. The only thing on his body is a blanket, wrapped around his waist tightly. The knife i heard on the wall wasn't there, the giggling was silenced as i entered the room. Seonghwa was drawing shapes into the walls with his dry fingers, smiling at it as he went.

I think he heard me come in, he turned around and stared at me in horror. I come closer to him, wanting to greet him with a hug after not seeing him for so long. He jumps away from me looking the most scared I've ever seen him before. "W-who are you", he says and backs away even more. I looks away and laugh a little, thinking this was some kind of joke.

"It's me, Yeosang", I say and walk closer but he backs up against the wall even more. I'm starting to get confused now, why was he so scared of me. He tries to run when we're face to face but i grab his wrist holding him still. "What's happening?" i question, not understanding what's up with him and why he's so skiddish. I don't want to believe he doesn't remember, this has to be a joke.

Tears i never knew were there started to fall down my cheeks and make a big scene. I don't even notice them until they hit the floor. Seonghwa grabs my hand and pulls it off of him, looking at me the whole time. He doesn't look scared anymore though, he looks confused, just as i am. He grabs both sides of my face in his hands, i try to get away but fall to the floor instead, Seonghwa dropping with me.

"You-don't know me", he says and wipes my tears away with his smooth and gentle thumbs, just as he's always done. I knew this was him but why doesn't it seem like it. I try to tell him that we have to go and catch up with the others. His face only contorts into something unrecognizable, and emotion I've never seen. He doesn't even move, i get up tears still threatening to fall even more. I hold my head in pain "WE HAVE TO LEAVE", i yell at him but it only hurts me more.

He looks so confused he shakes his head and gets up anyway, standing in the doorway he says "no" and turns around once more to face me. "Why should i trust you". My head can't take this right now, it's pounding, telling me to get some rest and to talk talking to this-person. I won't.

"We are fucking leaving", this time i don't scream it, instead i say in harshly with my teeth shut together. I've forgotten about the gun i had in my pocket until, i see my arm reach for it unconsciously and point it right at Seonghwa. He doesn't even move, not even reacting in the slightest, even when he seemed so scared just a second ago. I can't control my movements now, as if it's a habit, i pull the trigger. Aiming right at Seonghwa's head, and that's where the bullet lands.

I didn't even think twice, why did i do this. I drop to the floor for a second time only to force my body to Seonghwa's lifeless form. He didn't even say anything. I hold him in my arms, like a mother who had just lost her child, this isn't right. Before my eyes were flooding, now they won't even open. I can already tell, Seonghwa has a bullet hole right in between his perfectly sculpted eyebrows. I can't even say goodbye, i might have to stay right here and die with him.

I feel a sudden weight on my arm, squeezing lightly, trying to get my attention. "Wake up", i hear it come in a whisper, my eyes won't budge. "WAKE UP!" this time it's not so nicely said. Suddenly my eyes open and i'm gasping for air like i haven't had it in years.

"Wait, what", i'm not where i was before. This time i'm a car and i can't move, it's shaking violently like it's hitting multiple speed bumps. I look over like i did the first time o woke up in an unknown environment. I was looking for Seonghwa that time, and now I've finally found him.

"Oh, finally your awake" he says and turns around to look at the road behind us.

"What-what happened"

" I found you passed out on the floor, so i got us out of there"

He keeps looking behind us in the car and now i realize that we're getting away from someone. That wasn't real, none of it was. The car swerves many times trying not to hit poles and bumps in the road. From what i can see we're still in Monte Carlo, but now we're driving away from this random chaser. I can't even do anything about it, i have no guns, all i can do is sit there while Seonghwa gets us out of this one.

"Now we have to find the other", Seonghwa says as he drives into an alleyway, successfully getting away from that prick without a trace. First we need to find Hongjoong.
