The world has fallen into the hands of greed and chaos and no one knows what to do. It's as though they are being punished by the God they once played.
The punishment for delving into higher powers man was not meant to touch. The punishment for the...
Something that I learnt during my studies. Was to not underestimate human capabilities. They are conniving.
They deceive so easily without a second thought. It's a game to those who know no bounds. It's a win or lose situation where they predict a certain win.
One moment they're who you thought they were. The other they are a stranger who has the capacity become your worst nightmare.
So I give you some advice.
Number 1. Don't trust anyone
Not even your friends.
Number 2. Don't turn your back
People always find one way or another to dig the knife deeper into your back.
And Number 3. Trust your gut.
And if it tells you to run.
Run.

I didn't mean to make Hyunjin mad at me. I'm normally not angered but little things like this. I barely get angry.
I mean he is nice to me. So I guess when he began to dissipate that kindness in a forceful way I wanted him to feel how I did.
It was no ones business. No one needed to know about my business. Curiosity is an annoying thing when it's not you who is curious.
He shouldn't have stuck his nose in my business. All though I didn't tell the full truth, it didn't piss me off any less.
Im the youngest here, being in the year below. Can you guess how babied I am here?
Even though I am the youngest I'll be damned if I'm treated any less.
After the dispute, I was scolded alittle for provoking Hyunjin. He still sat in the staff room sulking so I guessed he was still pissed.
I didn't mean to show such a side to these strangers but I mean what did they expect?
Oh well. It was an understandable situation so I wasn't questioned anymore. But let it be a warning to Hyunjin not to fuck with me.
Why? Because I know his dirty little secret that will put his reputation in a grave six feet under.
But I like him so I won't. Unless he gives me a reason to.
End of Jeongins POV
The group had settled down. The clock on the wall displayed that it was nearly midnight but some found it hard to sleep.
They had found sanctuary in the staff room with the door in case anything broke in. Jeongin had practically passed out on the sofa with his body curled in a fetal position. Changbin laid on his back, quietly snoring with his jacket covering his torso.
On the floor below slept a grump (seungmin) whose face, even in rest, looked twisted in a frown. His head rested on one of the decoration pillows with his sleeves pulled over his hands. Chan was next to him, loudly snoring with his face planted in another pillow.
Jisung and Hyunjin slept up in a uncomfortable seated position on the wall with a thin blanket covering them. They were far from each other but still shared the thin material.
Minho couldn't sleep. So could Felix. As much as minho tried to ignore the prying eyes of his brother, he couldn't when he had no where to run. He was sat looking out the window as usual. Felix beside him staring at his face as if to burn holes into his skin.
He cleared his throat before he spoke, "Are you..ok? After-"
He didn't finish his concern before Minho was cutting him off. "Don't act like you care for me. Because we both know you don't."
Felix didn't protest that statement. It made Minhos surface crack even more.
Instead he sighed. " you know..." he brought his gaze to look minho in the eyes this time. "I miss what we had when we were younger."
"When you didn't accuse me of being a monster?" Minho scoffed and looked away. The word. Monster. Had minhos throat closing and the glue that kept him together becoming looser. "You ruined whatever relationship we had when you turned your back on me."
"I wonder why Minho. How could I look at my older brother the same after what I witnessed."
"You are the same." His voice was stern and cold. Not loud enough to stir the group, but bold enough to send threat down Felix's spine. "You are also a monster don't you ever pretend you're not"
Felix didn't fight. He knew minho was right. Instead he chose a different option.
"Minho. What caused your breakdown." His voice was soft and deep. He didn't bother with eye contact because he knew Minho hated his face.
"Why do you-"
"Minho stop pushing me away this once!" He grabbed Minhos hand and held in tight. "I get that we aren't on good terms. We hate each other. But Atleast for this moment let me be your brother. Let me care for just a minute"
Minho went silent. His eyes silently widening and glossing over. But he quickly blinked his eyes and stop trying to fight Felix's grip. "What's wrong brother?"
Minho huffed lightly. His hands shook alittle. "I saw her. When that beast slammed into the door. I saw her face." He took a shakily breathe before carrying on. "I know she can't reach us but I still see her. Grinning at me with that same-......"
Felix signalled he didn't have to continue. He knew Felix understood it more than anyone. Even when they were at odds, they were the only people who understood each other better than anyone in the entire world.
"I see her too. That's why I drown myself in substances. Not to say they don't make me hallucinate her more. But Atleast it numbs the feelings." He gave Minho a short smile. "We will... get through it together. I promise. I'll protect you if she ever comes back."
Minho didn't feel the tears when the fell. But all he knew was for the first time in years, Felix was the one to catch them.
