Chapter 1

An hour later.

"Hyung..." I.M whined from the inside of the box. "I'm hungry."

He clutched his stomach and made a face. No one actually went to sleep. Shownu poked his head out to see if anybody was watching them. Seeing that nobody was there, he gestured for everyone to come out of their cardboard homes.

Hyungwon rolled out and immediately curled into a ball, hugging his feet tight. The others were shivering and huddled closer as the cold wind howled, and the temperature was dropping.

Shownu began taking off his bright orange prison overalls, "Everyone take off the prison clothes, once people see us wearing this, they'll know we were the criminals who escaped, I bet the media has started to warn the people already."

Nobody spoke as the next minutes were filled with the shuffling of the members taking out their prison clothes, feeling even colder as they only have a shirt and long johns on.

"Who's hungry?" Wonho initiated.

Everyone raised their hands. Kihyun clutched his stomach as a loud growl broke the silence. "Sorry."

Jooheon dumped the overalls into the trash can and even pushed it as low as it can go so no one would be able to find it. He rubbed his hands together before breathing into them, "How are we going to get food?"

"Easy," Minhyuk piped up, "We'll steal."

I jumped repeatedly while waving my hands in the air, and shaking my head to the beat of the music. It has been a long time since I had this much of fun with my friends. Today was just a usual Girls Night Out.

Exams were over for about a week already, and everyone was partying almost everyday, before the next test comes and disrupts their lives again.

I felt someone grip my arm and dragged me out of the dancing crowd. I lifted up my hair that was covering my face, "What?"

Sapphire - one of my best friends since middle school - said, "It's already 4am." She emphasised '4am' gravely. Straight away, I knew what she meant.

"Oh shit! I'm suppose to be home by 3, Mum's gonna kill me." I threw my hands up. "Call the other girls and tell them I gotta go."

Sapphire smiled, "You can count on me. Now run along, you're about to get a beating when you reach home."

I groaned after hearing what she said. I grabbed my bag that was lying on the chair, bid goodbye to my friends and rushed out of the club.

Once I was done checking if I had all my belongings, I began walking briskly down the street while pulling out my phone from my bag. I ignored the ringing of my ears due to the loud music from the club and switched on my phone.

20 missed calls from Mum. Oh god, I'm dead meat this time.

It was not the first time I was late to go home, but Mom already warned me that if I was late the next time, I'm in for some trouble.

I zipped past a few shops, my footsteps becoming quicker. All I could think of was home.

I then came to a stop and was panting heavily because I was tired. I looked around to see where I was, so I know if I was close to home or not. However, I still had to walk a few more blocks. I mentally threw a fit.

I faced the alleyway which was right beside me, then a lightbulb sparked in my brain. The alleyway was like a shortcut to get across the "few blocks" I had to walk through, if I can cross the alleyway....
