i woke up to someone shaking me.

"y/n hurry and wake up, it's not safe here anymore"

Minho shook me awake. i got up quickly and found everyone putting their clothes on or waking up.

"what's wrong? are they coming for us?"

i asked in a hurry. everyone was panicking now for a reason i don't recall ever having been told.

"i woke up and found a camera in the corner. i broke it but they're going to start coming for us"

he explained as he tossed me a jacket and pair of shorts. we spray painted our white clothes the other day so we could wear them without sticking out.

i threw the clothes on while i watched Chan prepare to move everyone out. we'd been staying in District 9 for a week now, so we know the ins and outs of the place.

"everyone move. we have to go out in public now"

Chan said as he ushered everyone towards the outside.

after exploring one day, Changbin and i found out that we are not the only people existing in the world outside of that institution.

there were other people. we just happened to be the only ones in District 9. there were underground races going in outside of District 9.

since District 9 isn't safe anymore, now we have to blend in with other people.

"what the hell is this"

Seungmin muttered as we looked at the crowd. only Changbin and i have seen the underground races. the others stayed behind and rested up.

"heyyy sweetie, wanna try racing?"

a woman came up to me and wrapped her arm around mine, dragging me to a bike. a guy did the same thing to Seungmin.

"oh but i've never raced or ridden a bike before. i'm not sure if i could even win"

i laughed a little. the woman smiled.

"just go at your own pace! it's for the experience, just try it!"

she encouraged. i looked at him and shrugged. it doesn't hurt to try something new.

we jumped on bikes and raced each other. neither of us won. we tied down to the millisecond, which was a really weird coincidence to me.

"where did the others go?"

i asked after getting off my bike and looking around.

"hey, lower your voice and pretend to kiss me. protect your face as much as you can"

Seungmin whispered as he glanced over at people walking around the event. they looked like the guards we escaped from.

Seungmin crouched down a bit and put his face super close to mine while looking anxiously at the guards.

he put his hands around my face and i did the same. there were couples everywhere doing the same thing. the guards wouldn't notice anything out of place.

"ok, let's go. walk as calmly as possible to Chan"

Seungmin said while wrapping an arm around my shoulders and lowering his baseball cap to cover his eyes. i pulled up my hood and we walked together.

i spotted the others doing the same. Chan exited the event and discreetly pointed at a camera. the others followed him, me and Seungmin being the last.

we ran down the tunnel and stopped to catch our breath.

"there are cameras everywhere. that racing event was no exception"

Chan huffed out. Jisung spotted a camera and quickly broke it.

"let's get moving, there's no telling how long it'll take for the guards to realize we're gone"

Jisung said as he rushed everyone down the nearest path.

"you're a good ass actor"

i said to Seungmin while we ran next to each other. he smirked.

"what if it wasn't acting sweetheart?"

he said in the most innocent teasing voice. i scoffed.

"you met me a week ago, no way you'd kiss me"

i said while running ahead. i saw lights. it wasn't sunlight though. it looked artificial, as if coming from computers.

we got out and saw crowds of people through surveillance cameras.

"what are they protesting for"

Jeongin asked. i shrugged but then i looked closer. they were protesting for the system to stay as a way of order.

"why are they protecting the system? the system is hurting us all by making us test subjects"

Hyunjin scoffed in disbelief.

"let's crash the protest. the system will have no choice to accept that we're done with it. they'll let us go in order to have their so called 'perfect world'"

Felix suggested. we discussed it for a bit before agreeing. Jeongin would stay and watch over the surveillance cameras while we boycott.

"let's go in pairs. we shouldn't split up"

Chan suggested. we closed our eyes and grabbed a random person's hand.

i grabbed Jisung.
