Chapter 25

Dino slowly opens his eyes in the morning, revealing someone laying next to him in bed. Surprised, Dino sits up and a smile forms itself on his face, this was all a dream and Scoups is just laying beside him, Dino was never kidnapped and Scoups was never shot. But then Dino notices that Scoups has far shorter hair than normal and Dino's body feels stiff from pain. A pair of glasses on the bedside table give it all away, this isn't Scoups, it's Wonwoo. Dino sighs dissapointed while remembering that his best friend moved in with the brunette yesterday. Apparently, Wonwoo has a massive fight with Mingyu which causes them to be unable to live under the same roof. Dino isn't dissapointed about the fact that Wonwoo is now living with him, he just finds it sad that Scoups is still in a coma. Dino gets out of bed while Wonwoo's phone starts ringing.
"Wonwoo, your phone!" Dino yells from the bathroom and his new roommate only muffles something.
"Wonwoo!" Dino yells again because the phone is still ringing.
"I'll get it later, I'm too tired right now", Wonwoo sighs and Dino can almost hear him yawn.
"At least decline it then, Jesus!" Dino shouts, the constant ringing irritates the brunette and he's glad that the disturbing sound stops soon after. When Dino has dressed up, he walks out of the bathroom and notices with a smile that Wonwoo is still laying in bed. The black-haired male with glasses clearly is awake, but he's probably too lazy to come out of bed. So Dino decides to make him.
"Goodmorning sunshine!" he yells while he throws the curtains to the side, letting a lot of sunshine inside the room. Wonwoo grunts and pulls the blanket over his face.
"How can you be so happy?" he asks with a muffled voice. Dino laughs shortly and pulls the blanket off of Wonwoo, who clearly doesn't like it.
"If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn't have come here", Wonwoo grunts and Dino acts as if he's hurt.
"Auch", he says with his hands on his hips, which makes Wonwoo laugh.
"I'm not really a morning person", Wonwoo apologies, still laying in bed.
"Then I'll make you one", Dino answers firmly and tries to push Wonwoo out of bed. He succeeds eventually and Wonwoo shuffles to the bathroom. While he waits for Wonwoo to make himself ready for the day, Dino decides to plan a meet-up with Minho again. He grabs his phone and texts him with the question to meet up again. Soon after, Minho already responds.

From Minho
Sure! Can we meet this evening?

Dino smiles and replies that it's allright for him, so Dino has plans tonight. Dino has just put his phone away when Wonwoo's starts ringing again. Dino sighs annoyed, but Wonwoo doesn't come out of the bathroom.
"Wonwoo! Your phone!" Dino yells again.
"Wonwoo!" The brunette tries to get his roommate's attention.
"What?" Wonwoo shouts back and Dino wants to rip his ears off, such a stupid ringtone.
"Your phone!" Dino repeats.
"Just decline or something!" Wonwoo answers. Dino sighs, but he's still doubting if he should actually decline the call. It looks like Wonwoo has been called quite a lot of times by the same number. Sighing, Dino decides to pick up the call since it's an anonymous number.
"Hello?" the brunette asks carefully.
"Good morning, sir, am I speaking with Wonwoo?" a male voice asks.
"Uh, this is his roommate. Why?" Dino is not really comfortable to give this man information.
"Can I speak with Wonwoo, please?" the man asks a bit impatient. Dino frowns and waits a few seconds to answer.
"Why do you need Wonwoo so bad? I can give the information to him", Dino says calmly.
"Wonwoo is the person we call to when something happens", the male on the other line sighs, he clearly did not want to share this information with Dino. The brunette gasps shortly, thinking of the worst thing that could've happened.
"Is Scoups okay?" he asks scared. There is a short silence which makes Dino even more nervous.
"I don't know a Scoups. Can you please just give Wonwoo?" the man asks annoyed. Dino sighs relieved, but his thoughts are racing. What could've happened?
"Wonwoo! Come quickly!" Dino shouts and he can hear the male with glasses grunt annoyed.
"What now?" Wonwoo's head pops out from the door. He looks annoyed and his hair is still wet, but Dino points to the phone. A flash of confusion and anger rushes through Wonwoo's eyes, but Dino decides to ignore it.
"What are you doing with my phone? Did you pick up!?" Wonwoo whispers angry while walking over to Dino.
"Just take it please", Dino says nervously and reluctantly, Wonwoo takes the phone.
"Wonwoo speaking", he says calmly while he keeps his eyes locked on Dino. The brunette can still hear the man talking because he put it on speaker.
"Good morning, I'm from the police. I would like to inform you that I'm calling because you are the comfort-caller", the man says serious and Dino is quick to search what a comfort-caller is.
"What the hell is that?" Wonwoo whispers confused.
"Someone you would like the police to call when-" Dino gasps and cuts off his sentence.
"When what!?" Wonwoo asks impatient.
"When something happened to that person which makes them unable to call you, like a death or a serious injury." Wonwoo's eyes widen and Dino can tell that his roommate is nervous.
"Uhh, who am I the comfort-caller from?" Wonwoo asks but the man stays silent. After a few seconds, they finally hear his voice again.
"I cannot tell you over the phone. The only thing I can give away is that you have to come to your apartment immdetiatly." Wonwoo frowns confused.
"But I am in my apartment right no-" Dino can see the moment that his friend realizes what's going on.
"I'm coming immediately", he says and declines the call. Wonwoo's eyes go over the room restless before he rushes out. Dino is quick to follow him and he can only get inside his car just in time.
"Where are we going?" Dino asks confused. He still doesn't get what actually happened.
"To my apartment", Wonwoo says nervously. Dino can only hope that his friend will drive safe when the realization hits him too.
"Oh, shit. Did something happen to them?" Dino asks worried.
"I don't know, it's so frustrating. I don't even know which one of them. But I do know that I left them with a fight and that I was not a good friend to them. Let's just hope that no one died", Wonwoo says with tears in his eyes. Dino wants to place his hand on his friend's arm, but he doesn't think that is a good idea since Wonwoo is driving.
"It's right around the corner", Wonwoo informs the brunette while they turn into his street. The two males gasp when they see the building in front of them.

~<*>~

Wonwoo stops the car and jumps out of it. His mind is racing and worry is taking over his logical thinking. How did this happen? How did a whole building go down to ashes? He can hear Dino run behind him, but the only thing Wonwoo is thinking of is his former roommates.

You are always hanging out with Dino. Dino, Dino, Dino. What about the team? What about your roommates? What about the people that fucking died because of you? Mingyu's words still echo in Wonwoo's head while he reaches the policeman that had called him.

"Which one of them?" Wonwoo asks panting. Dino is somewhere behind him, but Wonwoo doesn't want to give the brunette any attention right now. The policeman is oddly quiet and Wonwoo places his hand in front of his mouth in shock.
"All of them?" he asks and tears are starting to roll down his cheeks.
"My condolences", the officer whispers and he leads Wonwoo to the place where the dead bodies are placed. It's horrifying to see all those people, who were just living their life when everything litterally crashed. A pair of bodies lay a few feet away from the others and Wonwoo notices that these are his roommates. The bodies are burnt and smashed, which makes it impossible for Wonwoo to recognize them. He stares at the bodies of his two roommates when the officer is standing next to him.
"Where's the third one?" Wonwoo asks with a raspy voice. This is all too much for him right now, first Woozi and Hoshi, then Scoups and now his own roommates.
"There is a third one?" the officer asks confused. Wonwoo's heart skips a beat while he looks at the officer shocked.
"I had three roommates. I moved out yesterday, that's why there are only three now. Where's the third one?" Wonwoo is starting to get nervous and he feels his emotions taking over. He glances at Dino shortly, who's wandering through the other bodies with a sad expression.
"We only found two of them. The third one is nowhere to be found", the officer states and Wonwoo is feeling a tiny bit of hope.
"How do you know that these are my roommates?" he asks, hoping that it would turn out that these bodies aren't his roommates at all.
"We could identify ever body that's laying here, except for these two. And the only ones missing in our record are your roommates." Wonwoo looks down dissapointed, but he won't give up.
"Does that mean that my third roommate is still alive?" Wonwoo asks hopeful. The officer shrugs and looks at the bodies.
"He is missing for sure. We will only know when we found him." It's a sceptical answer, but Wonwoo tells himself that this means that one of his roommates might still be alive.
"I will give you a moment", the officer mumbles before leaving. Wonwoo is glad she did because soon after, the emotions get too much and Wonwoo breaks down in tears. He sits down on his knees between the two bodies and holds their hands. They feel cold, although they are scorched.
"Im sorry", Wonwoo cries.
"I'm sorry for letting you down, I'm sorry for being a terrible roommate and oh gosh I'm sorry for being a terrible friend. I didn't deserve you guys, I truly didn't." Wonwoo is just crying and the words are almost not coming out of his mouth anymore.
"Let's just hope that one of you guys has survived this", Wonwoo whispers while he looks up to the sky. How much he would give to bring his missing roommate back. Hell, how much he would give to bring everyone back.

~<*>~

Dino sighs, it's a really bad timing for Minho to come over, but they had already organized it before Dino knew. Wonwoo is with the other members and Dino prays that they will be able to cheer him up. The brunette still can't believe that Wonwoo's roommates blew up. Okay, maybe that was too harsh. Dino's thoughts get interrupted by his purple-haired neighbor sitting down next to him.
"I'm glad we decided to meet up again", Minho states. Dino nods, but he can't bring himself to be truly happy.
"Is there something wrong?" Minho asks worried. Dino waves it off, but his neighbor isn't having it.
"What happened?" he asks concerned. Dino sighs and looks Minho in the eyes.
"Just some bad news, nothing to worry about. What should we do today?" Dino tries to change the subject and he gently grabs Minho's arm. The purple-haired male flinches almost unnoticeable, but Dino saw it. Triggered, he backs off a little.
"What's that?" he asks, but Minho laughs it off.
"It's nothing, just a stupid accident in my kitchen." Dino wants to believe him, but too many things have happened yet. Faster then he had meant to, Dino pulls up Minho's sleeve to reveal a bandaid around his upper arm. Right at the place Dino shot the spy. Trying not to create any suspicion by Minho, Dino tries to look impressed.
"Woah, you should've done something really stupid to have a wound like that!" Dino laughs and Minho laughs too, but the tension between the two males has changed terribly.
