Chapter 35|Chilling at the pool

»Do we have everything?« Seonghwa asked, shining his flashlight in the direction of the other group members, who all stood there, heavily loaded, and nodded.
»Looks like it.« Hongjoong closed the storage compartment door and tapped twice on a metal pole of the scaffolding.

»Let's go then.« The black and white haired one walked over to the oldest of the group and nodded.

»All right.« The two oldest walked ahead and the rest of the group followed them.

»About how far away was the building?« Yunho asked, walking between Wooyoung and San and San pondering.

»One hundred to one hundred and fifty. Then comes the group of trees. It's right behind them.« the blonde explained and Hongjoong in front nodded.

»Let's hope we can get a rest there.« The group walked silently away from the country road across the nocturnal meadow towards the clump of trees in front of them. As they walked past the trees after a short walk, a building appeared in front of them and the group stopped. It was a big concrete box, with big windows through which the boys could look into the building. Yeosang frowned.

»Is that a gym again?« he asked, loaking through the window through which he could just make out a smooth floor that could reflect the moonlight.

»I found an entrance!« San shouted, who had walked the length of the building and was now standing in front of double door made of glass. Hongjoong and the others walked over to him, then grabbed the door handle and tugged hard on the door. It opened with ease, allowing Hongjoong to breathe a sigh of relief.

»Home sweet home.« Seonghwa said with a grin, put an arm and Hongjoong's shoulders and the group happily entered the building. They held the flashlights down the hallway, enlighten the dark room.

»Is there such a thing as a light switch in this place?« Jongho asked, checking the wall for a light switch.

»Let's go inside first. We'll take care of the light in a moment.« The second eldest ran over to a second glass door and opened it. Followed by his team members, he entered a large, wide room.

»What's that?« Yunho asked curiously, looking around. The floor was fully tiled and in the center of the room was a huge hole in the floor. When suddenly everything around them became bright, the boys narrowed their eyes blinded.

»Hey! Who the fuck was that?« Yeosang yelled hin pain and covered his eyes.

»Oh.« Yunho said, also covering his eyes.

»I guess I found the light switch.« he said, and Yeosang growled.

»If you press any switch again ever in your life, I'll smack your face against the fucking wall!« the mint-haired man threatened and carefully opened his eyes again. The others did the same. Slowly their eyes adjusted to the bright light in the room and they recognized their surroundings. Seonghwa tilted his head a little when he realized what the hole in the ground was in front of them.

»It's a swimming pool.« he recognized, and indeed they were inside a large hall with a dried-up swimming pool in the middle. Old floating rings hung everywhere on the tiled walls and the plants that stood in flowerpots in the corners of the hall and by the doors were all dead and totally rotten. Yeosang made a disgusted face looking around.

»Looks cozy.« he said ironically and Wooyoung sighed.

»It'll be fine for the night.« San said, smiling encouragingly at the two of them. Hongjoong put his backpack down on the ground and nodded happily.

»It's not a five-star hotel with feather pillows, but it'll do.« The others looked at Hongjoong and Seonghwa who already started to unpack his backpack.
