It was dark.

The hallway's lamps were on but when reaching the end of it, the lights seemed to not functioning. Chan glanced at the watch.

1.25am

That night they returned late from Hyunjin and Seungmin's shared apartment. Felix and Jeongin were forced to return to their house. Chan and Changbin decided to come along to Jisung's house to make sure he's doing fine. The guilt in him had not disappeared, he thought he was responsible in this.

The door closed. Chan whipped his head to the side and saw Hyunjin coming out with a flashlight in his hand.

"How's he?"

"He wants to come but Seungmin doesn't let him. He's already asleep though." Hyunjin made sure he locked the gate before they walked to the dark hallway.

It was quiet, too quiet for their liking. As if the apartment units were all empty. They wondered how Jisung could cope living here alone for a month after Changbin left. It looked creepy.

Hyunjin turned on the flashlight, "I remembered she went this way." he point to the right. Then to the black plague on the wall where the house numbers were printed. "This way."

"There's actually people living here?" Chan questioned. He spotted there were slippers and shoe racks in every units.

"Hyung, you're gonna turn this to a horror movie." the younger lightly chuckled. They took another right turn and after walking a few more steps, they reached the unit 71.

"It looks empty."

Hyunjin went to the left side on the house, only to see an empty balcony that allowed him to see the entire house units at the other side. He looked to the front and spotted Jisung's unit.

"Hyung, their houses are facing each other." he pulled out his phone and dialled Seungmin's number.

Chan leaned his body against the balustrade and turned his head to the right. The windows were tinted black. He could not even see the curtain's color. Either because it was dark or really tinted. "If Minho went out to the balcony the entire neighborhood might have seen him."

"It's quite impossible for an old woman to have great eyesight to see Minho from here." Hyunjin squinted his eyes to Jisung's house. Soon the sliding door slid open, Seungmin walked out with his phone pressed against his ear. "Minnie, can you see anything?"

"Nope. Only you and hyung."

"Is the balcony empty?"

Seungmin hummed, "Why is it so dark there? Return here idiot, since when you're that brave?"

"Hey!"

"Hyunjin!" Chan hissed. He glared towards the younger but both of them froze when hearing the window being opened. Quickly but silently, both guys backed off and ran to the opposite direction to where they came from.

"Jinnie, someone opened the window."

He did not reply, but he hoped Seungmin had already got into the house.
