Anger can be a powerful thing. Some say it drives them, others say it takes control, and some even say it destroyed them. But somehow unfortunately for him it did all three.
"Minho? Minho!" Hyunjin tried to get his attention. The older one had no shirt on boxing so aggressively everything else was transparent. Sweat dripped all over his body. He loved this feeling and it always managed to push him.
"You know, you can just take that out in sex right?" This finally got his attention, missing the pushing bag and taking a step closer to the blonde.
"And who do I do that with? Everyone here are mostly inexperienced kids. I can't even curse in front of that Jeongin kid or hell he'll annoy the shit out of me for how bad it is" I thought popped into his head "or are you volunteering blondey?"
Hyunjin just chuckled, giving him a white cloth while the other took it, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Unfortunately im not gay" minho just laughed to that
"What's funny?"
"Oh nothing" minho said finding it ironic

"I swear I barely see you~~ what secret things are you up to!" Yuna said annoying her brother
"Well firstly how we get out of here and secondly how to make anyone not die"
They both hear a laugh behind them, Yeji overheard as Minho and hyunjin also walked in the dining hall.
"You really think you can stop anyone from dying? Your too naive little boy" she said going to the kitchen
"Damn you don't have to be a bitch" yuna whispered but loud enough for everyone to hear. Minho just burst out laughing
"God damn kid you're bold, I like it. Most young girls your age wouldn't dream of saying that. The Apple fell far from the tree. Your my new favorite" this made yuna laugh as he patted her head and followed after yeji to the kitchen.
"You shouldn't say things like that Yuna! Actually just stay away from him all together, he gives me a weird vibes" Jeongin scolded her.
"Come on he's not a bad guy, I like him" said hyunjin
"Of Course you do"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Hyunjin put his hands on his chest acting hurt. Jeongin just took Yunas hands and pulled her away leaving the blonde in his own presence.
"That hurts," he whispered under his breath, rolling his eyes.
"You know, you shouldn't always act like that right?"
"And who are you again?"
"Seungmin" he introduced himself with a small smile plastered on his face
"Nice to meet you Seungmin, but we're different. you and everyone here are -well, good little Korean boys trying to fulfill life with respect and honor. I'm not, if you ever came you LA in your cute little apartment you'd get eaten up by the wolf's"
"Oh really? You sound stupid, I was just being nice. A-and anyway you look like toothless from that dragon film"
"Do I look like a burnt crisp to you!"
"So your racist" seungmin whispered
"Who's racist" jisung seemingly popped out of nowhere. As seungmin pointed at hyunjin.
"Fucking idiot's" hyunjin mutters

"So what's wrong with you?"
"What does it look like, I'm hungry" yeji replied to his question
"I mean out there--" minho laughed "--you seem fucking tense"
"You really think they're gonna survive?"
"No, I doubt it-"
"good because I'll do anything to win"
"And so will I, we're the same yeji. Try to remember that" he winked at her before stealing the peach she had in her hands. She just flashed a small smile
"I miss this" she said
"Miss what?"
"Being around your presents, your cocky jokes and most of all a brother"
And there it was, the word that minho hated the most. The word that he despised coming out her mouth. But yet this time he found it comforting; comforting knowing she felt true happiness in it.

"Mate, why are you staring at the thing?" Chan looked at the other weirdly.
"I don't know, it seems mesmerizing" chanbin just said
"It's a painting," Felix said from across the room.
They were in a room that seemed like a type of study for an architect or designer. But a painting catched the eye of player 8.
"What exactly is it?" Chan asked in curiosity
"Idk, a goat, lion, dragon and snake"
"Creative I give the artist that"
"Look I trust you guys, I just have to know if you trust me," Felix said out of nowhere.
Chanbin "I mean ya"
Felix "I have a theory of some sort. Pretend this room belongs to someone. What would they be like"
Chan "Well they like sketching mostly houses and buildings so they would be a type of architecture"
Chanbin "They have a royalty complex, this room looks like you just walk into a princess chamber"
Felix"So they were most likely into classical music, there's also a piano and violin in here."
"Well they were obviously high maintenance" Felix whispered under his breath.
Chan "So what's the point?"
Felix "You've seen the catalogs haven't you, what if the players that played the game before. this was their room."
"You think that's possible?" Chanbin asked
"It could be," Felix replied. Just then someone enters the room.
"Chaeyoung? Hey" chanbin said
"You know her" felix asked
Chanbin "Ya, we once meet at an award party"
"Can I talk to you?" Chanbin followed Cheyoung out of the room soon enough.
Chan "Aa that's what it is"
Felix "What's what?"
Chan "The painting he was obsessing over, it's a chimera"

"How are you, I was gonna say hi but-" she stopped him "I need your help"
"Whit?"
"I woke this morning with 2 rings on my hands and it won't come off," Cheyoung pointed to her fingers.
"What do you expect me to do about that?"
"What else help me"
The 2 walked to Cheyoungs bedroom. Trying to pull the rings off even breaking it. but it never budged, not even the slightest. Cheyoung was getting angry but most of all confusion and fear. She hit her hands to the wall with a small pout. And looked at chanbin
"We'll figure it out che"
"Figure it out! Are you c-" she felt a hot sensation, the ring on her left hand started to melt away from her figure. Burning her skin as it did that she screamed out in agony.
"What the hell!" Chanbin reached for her but when he touched her skin his hands also started to burn. Cheyoungs skin felt like hot lava. And soon she passed out, dropping to the cold floor. Everything happened so fast, Chanbin was dazed. But quickly picked her up pushing through the pain and ran to felix.
