Chan sat straight up and looked around the dark living room.

He wasn't exactly sure why he woke up. Wasn't exactly sure what drew him out of the semi good sleep he was having before. However his heart was pounding against his chest and adrenaline was kicked in so high.

Did he have a nightmare and just didn't remember it?

Did he just happen to jolt out of his sleep and it scared him?

Hyunjin and Changbin were sleeping on the recliner, cuddled up next to each other. Changbins arms protectively around Hyunjin as the younger lay against his chest. The blanket they were using was tangled around their legs and he felt that it would have been cute if he didn't hear something that made his blood run cold.

There was screaming.

More screaming a few seconds later and Chan sat there frozen. Bones ice as he listened to the screams that sounded like they could rip vocal cords in mere seconds.

Chan took another look around the living room to count bodies. To count who was there and who wasn't. Hyunjin and changbin.. Jisung and Minho were upstairs.

Oh fuck, Jeongin.

Chan got up as fast as he could, tripping over the blanket around his legs and falling for a split second before he was on his feet again and running to the door. He flung open the door and looked around before he saw Jeongin on the patio, on the floor...just screaming.

He was just screaming and crying.

Chan immediately made his way up to Jeongin and got on his knees, pulling the crying boy to his chest.

"No, no!" Jeongins screamed "get away!"

"Jeongin," Chan said, desperate to know what was happening. There was broken glass all over the deck and Chan couldn't help but wonder what Jeongin was doing out here so late at night.

"Stop!" Jeongin sobbed out, gasping for air as his eyes were screwed shut so tightly "seungmin stop!"

Seungmin.

Just then, Changbin moved into the doorway, looking confused and then scared when he heard that name.

"What's going on?" Jisungs voice came first and then his small body appeared in the doorway, Minhos coming next and then hyunjins next.

Jeongin began hitting at Chans chest, screaming louder and crying harder "don't do this again.." he sobbed out "please, please-"

"Seungmin?" Changbin asked with eyebrows raised. He'd been filled in on the story after Jeongin left and Hyunjin had told him. He hated that mother fucker with everything in his soul and wanted to beat the fuck out of him if he got the chance.

"He's here?" Jisung asked, eyes wide for a moment

"Go look!" Chan said as he kept getting hit by Jeongin "don't just fucking stand there!"

The boys moved from the doorway and in a split second ran out the door in slippers in all directions looking for the person they hated most in the world.

Chan looked down at Jeongin who was now just crying in his embrace and pulled him closer to his chest.

He didn't know what was happening..

———

It took twenty minutes for everything to be at a stand still.

Silence. Other than the soft talking of Minho who was on the phone with the prison Seungmin was supposedly in.

Everyone stood in the kitchen beside Jeongin who was looming over a  cup of cocoa at the island in a blanket.

"What happened?" Jisung asked, gently rubbing Jeongins back who only closed his eyes.
