- Heeseung -

Within 2 seconds we were back at the house in the living room.

"Why didn't you just put us outside?" I ask, letting go of Niki.

"I didn't want anyone to see us."

I nod, sitting down on the couch behind me.

I didn't hear any "noises" from upstairs anymore, so I'm assuming we got here at the right time.

As Niki sits next to me, we hear someone coming down the stairs.

We both look back to see Sunghoon coming down the stairs in just his sweatpants.

"Couldn't be decent enough to even put on a shirt? We know you have better abs than us stop rubbing it in our face asshole." Niki says, rolling his eyes.

"Sorry, I got hot." Sunghoon says.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Sunghoon, we need to talk. It's important." I say.

"Like...a family meeting?" He asks.

"Yeah, I guess."

"I'll get Sunoo."

"No, don't. He doesn't need to know about this yet." I say.

Sunghoon looks at me confused." Okay..."

He sits down on the couch across from me and Niki with a concerned look on his face.

"What is it?"

"Earlier I-" I start, but get cut off by Niki.

"He might be here." Niki says.

Sunghoon furrows his eyebrows. "You don't mean... him, right?"

"Unfortunately, yes, he might be here." I say.

"Are you serious? He found us again?"

"I'm not for sure certain he's here, it's just... I got that feeling again when I walked Jake home."

Sunghoon sighs, leaning back onto the couch. "That hasn't happened since we were in Canada..."

"I know. I can feel when people watch me all the time, but this time it was different." I say. "I felt that same coldness as before. Usually, I can hear what they think when they watch me, but this time it was just...quiet."

"It has to be him. You had that same exact feeling in Canada before he... you know."

"Yeah, let's not talk about that." Niki says.

"I don't think we should tell Sunoo yet, it'll be way too stressful for him." I say.

"I agree. He's already been so worried about him finding us. You know how he was when we first moved to California." Sunghoon says.

"That's exactly why I don't think we should tell him."

"We can't keep it from him for too long. If he's really here, Sunoo will have to know eventually." Niki says.
