Last Man Standing. nct

Prologue.

The beginning of the end.

The late night bus to Yukimo streets is always filled with the same types of people as every other night. Vibrant, loud and cheerful souls along with the few quiet, mysterious and introverts types, all occupy the 30 leather seats of the white and blue striped bus. Some standing, holding onto the rail above or the poles in the middle just as others are seated in their usual cliques.

For every 19:00 o'clock bus, there was a different driver. Each of these drivers knew the familiar faces of the passengers, and if lucky enough some of the passengers knew the different drivers, even luckier if it was a female passenger. The front seats always were filled by the ladies; slim figures, short skirts and a ray of hot money glowing on their skin, these ladies knew how to take care of themselves and knew how to capture the attention of men.  The 3 ladies, known as Irene, Joy and Seulgi always gave a show to their backseat and middle seater passengers.

The next clique behind were the pranksters and jokers that, somehow, protected and covered the girls. The guys, Haechan, Mark, Doyoung, Ten, Jeno, Sungchan, Hendery, Jaemin and their youngest recruit Jisung, were always known as the comedian clique, they provided the jokes for the ladies and basically set the light hearted mood on the bus for a calm ride to each and every stop.

The next seaters made everyone on the bus feel like they were in some sort of high school again. You know that one click that not really everybody could be part of? The "It" factor clique? Rings a bell? No? Well introducing the member factor of Yeri the only girl in the group, Jungwoo the sarcastic, Lucas the boy, Winwin the one who had his arm around Yeri stating his statement loud and clear of their relationship, Taeyong the clean and only best friend of their leader Jaehyun. This clique right here, had the looks, the money, the popularity and all those other rumours that's surrounding them.

Jaehyun their accustomed leader always took the window seat. His eyes glued to the dark outside world, distant from his crew yet so present to all they said. He only responded to one of his recruits and that's Taeyong, his only best friend. They took the centre seat on the bus and if not all the time, the group is secretly adored and watched whether in stalking or hiding.

Behind the clique was the not so noisy Xiaojun and his girlfriend, Rain. This couple known by all the bus mates were the next in line it couple; with their constant makeout sessions that they publicly showed no matter what, heated or not they were. It's worse since they were standing holding onto the poles.

Renjun along with his college school mates Yang Yang and Chenle also preferred standing, but a whole distant away from the horny Xiaojun and Rain couple as they constantly discussed nothing but anime and manga.

Kun and Taeil, the only ones who seemed like the business type man but aren't, always sat together discussion so strong that at times would capture the attention of the rest of the bus mates. These were the politics and work orientated duo that discussed everything.

And lastly, Shotaro and Johnny, who in their own eyes were the only normals of the whole bus, aside from the nerdy nerd girls behind them. Consisting of Wendy and Sana.

Johnny, who was the least bothered, calm and collected person always yelled out to the bus driver to wait. If not him then nobody else on the bus would miss the presence of Suyang, the last and always late girl. Actually they would sense her absence because at this point the whole bus knew her as Johnny's girl and (contrary to no one noticing her) they knew her for her kind gestures and lateness.
