There was silence for several minutes. No one spoke; they only stared with pity at the two brothers and at the screen showing the girl lying on the ground.
"You two... go upstairs in your rooms." The brothers looked at their leader, both wearing a guilty and worried expression. "I will have to think about what to do with you- and how to punish you for your betrayal..." The others now looked at their leader with worry. "In the meantime, you won't leave your rooms. I don't want to see either of you two." The leader said with crossed arms, not really looking at the brothers.
"H-Hyung..." Sungchan stuttered. The leader looked at him, slightly annoyed. "I-I... I don't have an own room." Sungchan said. The leader sighed.
"Then stay in your brother's room... You won't leave it anyways. Now go- before I rethink this..." He answered.
The two brothers sighed in defeat, and left the room to go upstairs, followed by their leader and a few other members.
As they passed the youngest, Sungchan gave his friends a small, guilty smile before following his brother to his room.
They entered the room, turning to their leader. "Hyung-" "No.... I heard your story. Just... let me think about it a while. You should be grateful I let you stay in your room! I ought to lock you in the basement together with Wonchan! Actually I should kill you!" The boys looked down. "You can be happy I haven't done that yet...." He said. "Give me your phones..." Defeated, the brothers fished their phones out of their pockets, handing it the leader. "I will keep them for now... I expect you to be quiet and wait until I have decided about the next steps.." The leader said. "Yes, hyung..." The brothers said subdued. The leader closed the door, turning the key in the lock, trapping the brothers inside the bedroom.
Jaehyun sighed and fell onto his bed. "I'm sorry, Sungchan. I didn't wanted to drag you in that mess." He said, looking at the ceiling.
"It's not your fault, hyung. It's mine. If I hadn't shot him in the first place.... we wouldn't be in this mess right now- and neither would she..." He sighed, sitting on the other bed.
Jaehyun leaned on his underarm, looking at his brother. "You protected her. Who knows, what Wonchan had done to her if you hadn't. We know Wonchan. He doesn't care about anything or anyone."
"Hyung... I'm scared..." he admitted, his voice breaking. Jaehyun stood up, sitting next to his brother. "Hey. don't worry, okay? She'll be fine! You would feel if she would not be, right? Hyung won't harm her. I know that, okay?" He smiled a bit.
"And what will hyung do with us?" he asked, anxiously. Jaehyuns smile dropped. "I don't know, but let's not think about our problem first, but focus on our sister, okay?" The younger boy of the two nodded. "I won't let anything happen to you two..." Sungchan looked at his brother. "Hyung, what do you plan to do?" Sungchan asked worriedly. "Anything I have to- just to get you out of this mess..."
"Hyung..." "You'll get back to your life, Sungchan... and if I sacrifice myself doing so..." "Are you crazy?!" "Soul needs you- and your friends do too..." The boy looked away, guilty. "What is wrong?" "One of our friends was with her.. he must be so worried about her!" "You don't know... what measures he took to prevent him from calling the police?" The boy shook his head.
"Hyung, what should I tell him if he asks?! He and Soul are really close. They are doing everything together and he is also always protective about her." His brother answered. "Hyung knows what to do... he will handle it..."

Time passed before the girl slowly opened her eyes and realized she was laying on the floor of an unfamiliar room. The walls were plain white, and the floor was tiled in white as well, though stained with dust and some sticky residue. In the center, a drain gleamed faintly under the dim light.
