Morning soon came and Seungmin would rub his eyes awake before turning to the sleeping boy beside him. He ran his fingers through Jun Han's hair before sighing. "Please wake up Hyeongjun-ah." 

A loud screeching sound penetrated the city, causing the others to awaken.  O.de would grumble as he covered his ears the sound too loud even for him. "What the..." He flinched. Every member would awaken with a grumble and were soon to cover their ears. 

"Fuck! What is that noise?!" Gaon would hiss.

"What-" Gunil looked confused "What's commencing?"

They were teleported into the same white-colored room as usual...but something felt...odd. What was that screech? Those games they were made to play. Jun Han slowly blinked his eyes open wincing in pain.

"Hyeongjun-ah!" Seungmin cried rushing to be by the younger's side "Are you okay?"
Drowsily the boy looked around before passing back out onto O.de's shoulder. 

"He can't play like this." Gaon would sigh picking up his guitar. "Let him rest. I'll play." 

"If you say so." Gunil yawned as he sound-checked his drums. Everything seemed to be in place and this time they had worked on a few covers so it wasn't like they were unprepared. Gunil nodded to everyone and tapped his drumsticks together soon the room erupted into music. It felt like an endless cycle of waiting for the timer to run out so they could play in a dull white room with whatever sanity they had left. After some exhausted playing, the song finally stopped and they waited patiently for their scores. 

"B-?" One member sighed.

"A B- isn't the end of the world," Gunil stated trying to keep the member's moods up

Jooyeon stood looking at his hands his chest rising up and down rapidly. Blood trickled down his head.

"Jooyeon-ah?" Gaon slowly turned to face the younger.

"My chip...it malfunctioned." He said shakily reaching his hand to wipe the blood

Gaon approached and quickly tore a strip off his shirt wrapping it around the younger's head. "Shit..." Gaon mumbled as Jooyeon staggered on his feet. "Did you make a mistake when playing?"

"One...but I saw Jungsu and Gunil make a few too..." Jooyeon mumbled.

"The chips track your mistakes...if you make more than 5 mistakes..." Gaon took in a deep breath before making a "Pkew" Sound with his mouth. 

"How do you know so much?" Seungmin questioned.

Gaon kept silent and instead returned to applying pressure to Jooyeon's head. "The chip must've malfunctioned." He gulped 

"Hyung...I don't feel good.."

"Jooyeon-ah!" Gunil called as the youngest's vision faded to black.

Sighing, Gunil rested up against the bed followed by Jungsu. The stress felt like too much now two of their friends could die due to some weird glitch in the system. His head hung low as Jungsu would silently comfort him, but nothing worked. Until out of the corner of his eye something yellow stuck out like a sore thumb. Gunil cautiously rose to his feet and approached what appeared to be a new posted note.

Dear heroes,

My oh my, what a terrible glitch in the system. I suppose this is what happens when you put your trust in some unknown app. I'd check Jooyeon's pulse if I was you. It has only just begun xdinary heroes. Soon you'll come to face the final boss. Only then will you return to the "real world." but who is to say which world is real? Both seem lifeless and dull if you ask me. Although, lights brightly illuminate our city. Soon you'll be just like us. Let's hope you all make it out of this thing alive.

"C.." Gunil muttered inspecting the posted note. "They must be the one behind it."

"Another note?" Seungmin said approaching.

"Shit." Gunil cried after fully reading the note. "Someone check Jooyeon's pulse!"

"On it!" Gaon said rushing over and resting two fingers on the youngest's neck. After finding no pulse he'd quickly check his wrist. Jiseok's eyes would widen as he could feel them well up. This couldn't be happening. Shit. No. Bitter tears ran down his face as he fell to his knees. "No..."

"Fuck." Jungsu hissed hopping up from the floor. Quickly he rushed over to Jooyeon's bed.

"We could try CPR," Gunil suggested through sobs.

"No...that chip must have damaged his brain. It would be pointless." Jungsu sighed bringing his boyfriend in for a hug as he sobbed. "It's okay."

"I didn't get to tell him how I feel," Gaon mumbled running his fingers through the boy's silky hair. "Jooyeon-ah...I love you."
