"You've got to be kidding me." Hongjoong said to Wooyoung and Seonghwa, with a horrified look on his face, holding the strange map in his hands. The two of them as well as San and Mingi too had come back to the others right away, to show them what they had found, but the reaction wasn't quite what they had expected. Yeosang, who was sitting on the table, right next to Hongjoong, took his eyes of the map and looked at Wooyoung.

"Let me get this straight. Some shady guy who looked like the literal grim reaper himself gave you this and told you to go on a suicide mission through the desert, and then he disappeared into thin air?" He asked in a kinda mocking manner.

"Who are you kidding, man? Did anyone else see this man?" Questioning he looked around and Mingi raised his hand.

"Well, I saw him at the window." That didn't convince Yeosang.

"Could've been a curtain shadow or literally anything else."

"I'm telling you, Yeosang. He was there." Wooyoung repeated and sighed.

"And he didn't tell me anything. He dropped the map and left." The oldest, who was right next to Wooyoung furrowed his eyebrows.

"Didn't he whisper something?"

Ah right!

Wooyoung remembered.

"He whispered a word. I think it was 'treasure'."

"And what does that mean? That he wants us to go on a kindergarten pirate mission?" Yeosang reached out for Hongjoongs hands, to take the map and get a closer look at it.

"It does look like it's been drawn by a kid." Judgmentally he stared at the paper. He was right, the drawings on it didn't look too well done and it actually looked like whoever made this was in quite a hurry drawing it.

"Not very convincing if you ask me."

"And what if he said treasure, but meant a way out of here?" Wooyoung crossed his arms and looked at the mint haired boy, who just shook his head and shrugged.

"Thats just your interpretation. Also, you did notice how fucking hot it is out there and how low on water we are? We wouldn't survive a day if we were crazy enough to actually follow this map. I won't let it happen, that we get killed because you're interpreting something in a hallucination and a kids drawing." For a moment the group went quiet and even Wooyoung didn't know what to say. He knew how this looked. He just woke up, had sunstroke and still felt very dizzy. Of course it was easier to believe for Yeosang, that what the boy saw was a hallucination, rather then trying to believe in this plan. Seonghwa was the one to break the silence.

"Yeosang." He said, drawing the boys attention.

"I know you're concerned and scared. We all are. But what if this map is our only way out?" Again Yeosang shook his head.

"No way. There has to be someone looking for us. We must have family somewhere out there, who will send people to search for us!"

"Here?" Mingi intervened.

"Good luck with that." He pointed outside and huffed.

"We're in the middle of nowhere. Who the hell would look for us here?"

"Someone! At least there is a bigger chance someone comes by and saves us, than that any of us will surive the desert." With a frustrated chuckle he looked at the other boys.

"Come one guys. I can't be the only one who doesn't believe in Mr. Deathwish's plan."

Wow.

Wooyoung shook his head incredulous. He couldn't believe that Yeosang was so against this idea of a plan, that he'd try to make him look bad infront of the others. His plan would at least have them do something! They couldn't just sit here and wait for someone to come and save them.
