"Everyone, wake up!" loud yelling filled the room as well as the clear clashing of metal on metal. It was almost deafening and made my heavy eyelids flutter while icy goose bumps spread all over my body.
"Come on, wake the fuck up!"

Utterly irritated and dizzy, I tried to open my tired eyes, not knowing what was going on. Only when I gradually got used to the blinding light and looked around in my surrounding, I finally realized in what a shitty situation I was in.

"Oh hell no."I let my head fall to the back of my neck with a groan, immediately closing my eyes again as an enormous wave of frustration and anger swept through me.

Here I was, sitting in the all too familiar theater of the school, surrounded by the other NCT members who were sitting on the floor, tied up just like me.

We were divided into two groups that were several meter away from one another:
While Jisung, Jaemin, Renjun and Donghyuck were tied to the non-functioning heaters in the room, Mark, Chenle and I were tied to different pillars on the opposite side.

Outraged, I frowned when I noticed that literally everyone's hands and feet were tied up with ropes while only my hands were merely tied with stupid cable ties.
Not that I would complain about it, but did these guys think I was so weak that they didn't even bother to tie me up properly like everyone else?

Wow, just wow.

"There we go," the sound of Wonwoo's satisfied voice appeared before he made his way to the middle of the room, looking from one group to the other.
The boy gave us an amused and diabolical smile, as if he had just won in lottery. Looking at this situation from his point of view, he probably did...

"Thank you all so much for gathering here voluntarily and agreeing on helping us with some questions we have."

The way he spoke with a sugar-sweet tone, paired with a devilish expression, made the blood boil in me, leaving me with the need to choke myself to death right now.

An ironic laugh left my lips at the very same moment, but it was louder than expected and thus attracted the attention of the boys. Annoyed, I rolled my eyes when the tall, dark-haired boy raised eyebrows while glaring at me sinisterly.

"What was that?"

Before I knew it, he came up to me and got down in a kneeling position before he roughly grabbed my face with his hand and forced me to look into his dark and gloomy eyes.
The grip on my jaw and cheeks was painfully hard and the sudden physical contact was enough to make my neck hair stand up on its own while sending the well-known tingling sensation of hate and disgust through my entire body.

At least my aversion to SVT hadn't changed.

"What's so funny, huh? Tell me," he growled again, slightly tilting his head to the side and  increasing the strength of his grip once more.
