Jin Ae sighed as she gazed at Sungchan beside her who was carrying Chunhae in a piggy back.

"You didn't have to walk us home you know"

"Noona, I think we both know you can't carry Chunhae noona"

Jin Ae giggled-nodding her head at his statement. The other girl in question was out cold - she almost crashed into a pole when both Jin Ae and Sungchan found her.

It was something Jin Ae was also thankful for- the race had finished and sadly neither Jeno and Haechan won, but atleast before the latter noticed her she was already on the way home.

She had absolutely no idea why she was avoiding the boy-I mean the reason why she moved back here was to see him. But given his reaction the last time she called, may had swayed her determination.

"Noona"

She hummed in response gazing at the boy who stopped in his tracks, a smile on his face as he watched her.

"You hack stuffs right?"

"How did you know that?"

"I may or may not did a background check on you"

Jin Ae stopped in her tracks looking back at the boy who wore a sheepish smile. He looked apologetic enough but she was panicing.

Does he know about me and Hyuck?

"How much do you know?"

"Just that you're one of the best hackers I've ever known"

The girl squinted her eyes-searching his body language for any sign of a lie or sometihng he might be hiding but she sighed in relief when nothing showed.

"Well now what?"

"I actually need help-NCT needs help"

"Sungchan why are you asking me?"

Sungchan turned his head left and right, eyes gazing at his back through his peripheral vision. The smile he once had now etched into a frown.

"Let's go to your house first"

"So what's the reason why you asked me?"

She asked as soon as Sungchan  plopped Chunhae down her couch, the latter murmuring off and turning in her sleep. Sungchan sighed knowing there was no escaping her questions.

"There's this thing-"

"What thing? What do I have to do with it? Can't your hackers work on it? I know there's like ten hackers in NCT rig-"

"Noona, let me finish"

Jin Ae bit her lip, it wasn't like she didn't want to help Sungchan. She was the type of person to never refuse when someone asks for help - even if it means it could potentially endanger her. The only thing holding her back?

"Someone hacked into our computers, it's been a few days and the other's are in the dark of what it may be"

The boy reached for his phone that was in his pocket, swiftly swiping to his gallery and showing the girl. It showed a few screens covered by the same blue logo-it looked like a barcode.

"I've seen this before but I don't know where"

"Well, let's call it a night"

Sungchan sighed his eyes shifting to the girl's window, pocketing his phone once again.

"I'll fetch you tomorrow Noona"

"Ok, stay safe ok? Text me when you get home"

Sungchan nodded, leaving the apartment with long strides, Jin Ae sighed gazing at the girl in her couch before fetching a few pillows and blankets.

Jin Ae opened her own phone, 11:30 it said. Which somehow seemed impossible given the events that took place that night.

A movement by the window caught her eyes making her stand up as she protectively covered Chunhae with a few pillows and blankets. Once satisfies that she was barely visible Jin Ae huffed, clutching the nearest item she could find, which happened to be stool, in her hand.

She took small strides towards the window, her hand on the curtain. Cold sweat began to cover her forehead as she contemplated her actions.

Her hands began to tremble and her breath began to get labored-but if she wanted to know she had to. With a shaky breath she pulled the curtains apart, she blinked a few moments.

Of course no one was there, she shook her head letting the cloth fall from her hand. She slumped against the wall, a sigh leaving her lips for the tenth time.

She could still feel her heart racing but she felt silly. No one was there-she needed to stop overthinking.

"I just need to sleep, Sungchan's demeanor has me weirded out"
