chapter 3

it was about a half hour after 10 pm, and everyone were in their rooms trying to get some sleep.

san tossed and turned in his sleep, unable to get comfortable.

he could barely see in the dark, but he turned to look in his roommate's direction anyway.

"..seonghwa? you still awake?" he asked, his voice slightly louder than a whisper.

"why aren't you asleep?"

"i can't sleep."

"i can't either."

there was a moment of silence, but it wasn't awkward.

they both felt comfortable in each other's presence, regardless of whether they spoke to each other or not.

even though they both slept in seperate beds, it felt like they were right next to each other.

"seonghwa? you still awake?"

"yes? what is it?"

"when you stood up for me earlier, and defended me."

"what about it?"

"that wasn't necessary.. you didn't have to do that." san spoke softly. he smiled a bit, remembering the moment fondly as if it had happened just a few seconds ago.

"it was necessary. there's most likely more to your power than you think there is. it's completely uncontrollable and it's too much strength for you to handle."

"yeah, you're right about that.." san said while looking away for a moment, his voice getting quieter.

san looked back up at the older male. "hey, don't worry about it too much. try to get some sleep, alright?" he said.

"sure, you get some sleep too."

"i will. goodnight!"

"goodnight."

everyone couldn't get the complete 8 hours of sleep they needed, unfortunately..
they all woke up around 4:15 in the morning to the sound of a crime alarm going off.

there were two criminals stealing things from someone's house. coincidentally, it was the same criminals from the day before who robbed the bank.

yeosang yelled at everyone else to wake up. he was already awake, because he functions perfectly on only 3 hours of sleep.

everyone got in the car, driving to the house as quickly as possible.

when everyone got out of the car, hongjoong instantly started to give orders to everyone else.

"seonghwa, jongho, both of you are with me."

"yunho, mingi, go block the windows."

"yeosang, stay at the front door, and wooyoung, you go to the back door."

seonghwa and jongho stayed next to hongjoong, while the other four ran off to go do what they were told to do.

san slowly walked towards hongjoong.

"what about me?"

"san. go get back in the car."

"but-"

"san, do not make this difficult for us. please, just get back in the car. it's for your own good."

before san could say another word, all three of them ran off into the house to go find the criminals. he relucantly turned away and went back towards the car, dragging his feet while he walked.

meanwhile, in the house, a fight had started, and it got intense pretty fast.

one of the criminals was fighting hongjoong, seonghwa, and jongho all at the same time, while the other one tried to find a way out.
