'room 12.. room 13.. room 14.. room 15.. aha! I finally found it, room 16!' Riki let out a victorious smile.

His smile then soon turned into a horrified, and petrified expression as he heard a loud scream.

He saw the head nurse come out of Room 16, which was Sunghoon's room. She had some sort of metal tool on her pocket and.. a patch of red on it too..?

He stayed still for a few seconds— he scanned his surroundings making sure the head nurse or staff was not on sight.

He quickly entered the room, sighing in relief as he successfully made it without getting caught.

He looked over to the criminal. He looked.. weird. Riki doesn't know how to interpret it, but the elder was just staring at the wall? He was sure in fact that when he was doing a psychoanalysis on Sunghoon he didn't act like this.

❝ Sunghoon-ah? You okay?❞ he asked, placing the tray on the table. Sunghoon didn't budge to even look at him.

❝ yes, I'm fine, don't worry❞ he replied, still staring into the wall. Riki looked at the elder with concern, before letting out a deep sigh.

❝ here, take this,❞ he offered him the jajangmeyeon that was in a metal lunchbox. Sunghoon looked at him, before taking the lunch box from Riki.

❝ thanks❞ he mumbled, Riki gave him a smile. ❝ no worries, let me know if you need anything else❞

❝ hey, why don't you have any food with you?❞ Sunghoon asked, making eye contact with him.

❝ oh, my hyung packed me lunch today❞ He smiled, Sunghoon nodded in response. Sunghoon pressed his lips together, forming a thin line. He went silent for a second before speaking up.

❝ I know it's not my business, but what's the name of your hyung?❞ he then took a huge slurp of the noodles. Riki looked at him confused.

‘The hell? Why is he acting so weird..’

A huge number of thoughts took over Riki's mind— was he going to kidnap his hyung? is he planning something? he is a wanted criminal, Riki knew he shouldn't trust him just yet.

❝ ah, on second thought, nevermind.❞ Sunghoon spoke up, before going back to eating his food. Silence took over the room, the atmosphere was so awkward it made Riki uncomfy.

‘ well this will be a long day..’  Riki thought.

After finishing his food, Riki took a good glance at the table. Noticing something, odd?

‘why is there a pill bottle here..? It was not here earlier. Weird.’  Riki thought to himself, thinking if whether he should take a look at the pill bottle or not.

‘He is asleep, it's worth a try.. right? But he could get mad at me! Maybe even kill me— oh no no, I'm too young to die!’  Riki argued with himself. He came up to the conclusion that he'd take a peak.

❝ yolo.. i guess❞ he picked the bottle, analyzing the packaging. It had no sort of label on it, weird.

He opened it, seeing purple capsules. It was unfamiliar to him. Was it a pain killer? A sleeping pill?

He took one out, and wrapped it around tissue paper.

❝ I'll go get this checked with Heeseung hyung later..❞ he quietly mumbled to himself. ‘Oh god, what am I doing?! There's no going back, if I die. I'll blame Jake hyung for this!’
