#15 Too Far

Jeongyeon's POV:

"Gosh I'm so excited about the school festival next week!" Jihyo abruptly squealed which caused my soul to nearly get out from my body. God dang this girl, she's so loud!

"Tone it down girl." I replied.

"Excited? Are you really excited that I'm the one assigned in decorating our room?!" On the contrary, Dahyun looked so haggard as she pulled out the roots of her hair. Her back is curved while showing a long face.

"Pft! That's not my problem." As much as Jihyo responded with a jolly smile, Dahyun glared deep down into her soul. I guess you can easily define which one is alive and which one is dead.

"There will be a lot of games there right?" Mina muttered as she pushed all her weight in sitting down on the sofa.

"Of course. And you know what is more interesting? There will be a lot of food stalls!" Momo squealed which caused the others, especially me to be triggered again. I forced myself not to blow up and zipper my mouth as much as I can.

"And there will be tons of people out there. Guys, we should be careful as much as possible. We trained for too long to not be conscious and alert of our surroundings. Please, take into account what the guys have instructed us. If you feel something suspicious, notify me right away." Nayeon sounded so serious suddenly.

"Hey, school festivals are supposed to be fun. Don't ruin the mood unnie." Chaeyoung frowned.

"I agree. We just want to enjoy that moment. School kept bugging us and it's already hindering us for having time for ourselves. Calm down unnie." Sana stated with lively behavior. How come she also have it at night?

"I'm just protecting us, that's all." The girls, all of us, stared at her as she's bringing a grim expression.

"Nayeon, all of us understand your side. Just don't overthink that much okay?" I replied and her expression toned down. I mean, I agree with her. It's not safe out there and we can't predict the situation but at the same time, we need to time for ourselves. School are frustrating as heck!

Moments later, the girls started to get sleepy and one by one, they're all going up the stairs.

"Jeongyeon unnie, I'll go ahead. Good night, I love you." Tzuyu plastered a smile as she began walking up the stairs. She's the last one except for me to follow the girls in their perspective rooms.

"I love you too, goodnight and have a sweet dreams."

After scrolling through my phone I bit, I started closing all the doors and windows, making sure that they are locked. I adjusted the sofa and cleaned some of the dishes that the girls never touched. I was about to turn off the light when my phone vibrated.

Nayeon's POV:

"Gosh, why does your training have to be so hard?" Momo abruptly placed herself on the floor as she's panting hard.

"It's called training for a reason. Besides, this is just basic." Jeonghan responded with a calm expression.

"Yeah, you didn't even got to experience the hardest training." Seungkwan grabbed his drink and sipped on it. It's Iced Americano, I believe.

"Hardest training?!" Sana shouted which made all of us to glare at her, except for Jun who found her interesting I guess.

"Yes Sana, the hardest training. That training is consists of parkour. Chan explain!" Jun suddenly called their youngest's attention which caused the latter to almost hit him with anything that he's holding right now.

"You lazy bum! Tsk. Anyways, it's like a normal parkour but no so normal. You know, wall climbing, running, and so on. Although, don't let it fool you. This training includes men chasing us. And do you know what's more worse? We're fighting with real guys while completing the parkour." Chan smiled cheekily while all of our jaws dropped.

"The hell?! Someone just kill me already!" Chaeyoung covered her face with irritation while I, became blank.

"Nayeon, you fine?" Jeongyeon faced me with an anxious look. It caused others to mind in our situation too.

"I..."

"I need to go to the bathroom." Without any words, I received a hard slap from Jeongyeon.

"You fool! I thought something's wrong with you! Go ahead before you'll pee here." All of them chuckled.

"Peace!" I stood up and left them a guilty smile. I ran my way towards the hallway even though I can still hold it in.

"What? Where did I landed? Where is the bathroom? Come on I just want to pee." I groaned when I got far from the room. I'm clueless right now, I have no idea where's where.

"U-uhm... Anybody here?" I peeked through the advanced door that was opened. I got nervous with an unknown reason. Stepping back with fear, I checked the hallways. It was absolutely quiet, to the point it's getting eerie. No one's in here and the blue lights are twitching. The heck? Nevertheless, I went inside, only to see an interrogation room.

Not a single soul was there. It was dark and the only light that was open is inside the glass door that I believe I won't be visible in there. My eyes roamed around the small room. There are papers scattered on the table, some lamps that aren't turned on, and a microphone to communicate through the inside.

I felt unconscious and I badly want to scold myself for adding steps near to the glass window, but I can't stop. Maybe, my curiosity was forcing me to do it. My hands are shaking as I keep moving closer.

"H-hello?" My voice echoed and nobody responded. It was pure silence.

*Bang!*

"Aaaaaah!" I screamed when I witnessed a hand who punched through the glass window, but I only saw it for a second when someone grabbed me and pulled me out! Help!

"Aaaaaaahhh! Help!"

"Nayeon!" As soon as I heard that voice, I opened my eyes.

"S-seungcheol?" He looked disappointed, he looked furious.

"Why did you go here?!" He scolded me and raised his voice until my eyes became teary.

"I d-don't know. Sorry, s-sorry."

"Then let me tell you. Don't come here ever again okay? This place is dangerous for you. Do you hear me?!"  I nodded simultaneously, a sign that I clearly understand him.

"Y-yes, I do."
