"Wake Up!'' I practically jumped out of the bed.

''Kai! Oh my god, you almost gave me a heart attack,'' I tried to calm my racing heart as I looked around. Beomgyu was already awake, probably downstairs somewhere. I yawned and stretched, sleeping on a real bed really does wonders. Although I was still tired, Beomgyu and I were up last night talking and doing... other things.

"C'mon, everyone else is downstairs. It's time to find the next door.'' Kai pulled my arm and dragged me downstairs where the others were sitting and chatting on gold embroidered couches.

"Morning Taehyun!'' Yeonjun said.

''Hey,'' my eyes gravitated towards Beomgyu who was blushing madly. ''Should we head out?''

''Yeah, first let's take showers though. Yeonjun you stank last night.'' Soobin said.

''Hey it's not my fault you decided to cuddle me!'' He pouted. I tried to hold back laughter.

''Don't laugh Tyun, you smell bad too,'' Beomgyu teased.

''Heyy,'' I scoffed, offended.

''Hahaha, alright we all stink, let's go take showers,'' Kai said giggling.

We headed towards the three bathrooms that were on just the first level. There were an insane amount of rooms in the mansion.

''Hey Beomgyu, want to shower together?'' I smirked and wiggled my eyebrows. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

''NO! You perv,'' He shoved me a little and walked into the bathroom.

''You sure?'' I asked, and he glared at me and shut the door. I smirked, he was blushing when he closed the door.

We all took turns taking showers, finally getting all of the dirt and sweat off of our tired bodies. We also got to clean out our hand wounds properly. I re-wrapped everyone's hands before we decided to try all of the doors again.

"Maybe one of the doors is actually the door to the next test." I said.

''Good point, I'll go this way, Beomgyu, you go that way.'' Yeonjun said. Soobin and Beomgyu headed down the hallways on the first floor with Yeonjun while Kai and I went upstairs. I tried all of the doors but none opened. Maybe we have to find a key like before? But where would a key be?

I searched through drawers in the bedrooms, under rugs, under the mattress, in closets and still nothing. Then I remembered the dream. At one point Beomgyu slammed shut a drawer in the kitchen. Could that be the clue? Was a key in there? I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. I opened a few drawers before I found the one I was looking for. Inside was a gold key with a star on it, just like the first one.

''Gotcha,'' I found Yeonjun by the staircase.

''Hey I found a key! Let's find everyone and try the doors again.'' I said.

''Great I'll go find Soob and Beomgyu.'' He took off down the hall as I ran upstairs to find Kai. On the way through the hall I realised that none of the doors that were locked actually had keyholes, except for one.

I found Kai as Yeonjun, Soobin and Beomgyu came up the stairs. We stopped in front of one of the doors, the only one with a keyhole.

I inserted the key and turned it. It opened with a click and we peered inside.
