Minho was the first to wake up. It was obviously mid day when he opened his eyes, the sun shining far overhead.

He sat up, groaning a bit at the way he'd slept and stood.

Slipping a pair of slippers he'd found in the house on, he walked out the front door as quietly as he could and gently closed it behind him.

He walked over to some bushes and began relieving himself of all the water he drank the night before. There was no running water in any houses so they were stuck using the outside.

Minho quickly finished his business and adjusted the sweats he was wearing. He turned to head back in the house and stopped in his tracks.

"Now that would have been a sight to see," Jisung said, that glint in his eyes.

Minho furrowed his eyebrows a bit and cleared his throat.

"Yeah, sure," he said and began walking before Jisung stepped in front of him.

"Should have turned the other way.." Jisung said and laughed a bit.

"Thats fucking weird," Minho answered and blinked a few times "why exactly do you want to watch me pee in a bush?"

"It's not the peeing part," Jisung said and laughed insanely "it's about seeing what's in your pants.. dont take it weird,"

Minho felt his heart drop slightly and a hint of red came to his cheeks as he looked anywhere but jisungs face.

"You're acting weird," Minho said after a few moments

"How so?" Jisung asked, a strange smile painted on his face.

"You wanted nothing to do with me for the longest time and now you want to see my dick," Minho explained with a shrug.

Jisung hummed softly and nodded like it was the most normal thing to him. However, then he realized that not everyone thought like he did so he spoke.

"That's just how I am.. sometimes I care, sometimes I don't you know? But when I see something I want, I go for it," he explained, a soft breeze coming through the trees and sweeping his brown hair across his forehead

"What do you mean..?" Minho asked, lost slightly

"What I mean, is I decided I want you,"

The door to the house opened and Hyunjin stepped out, coming off the porch and stopping when he saw them.

"I was wondering where you two went," he said in a sleepy voice and walked over to the same bush Minho used. Minho and Jisung just looked at each other for a moment, Minho more confused and Jisung looking completely insane.

Hyunjin then walked over to them again once he was done with his business and shrugged "to be honest just though Ji would already have you in his grasp by now,"

Jisung laughed again and shrugged.

"It's a work in progress for sure," he told Hyunjin and turned around to walk back into the house.

"Jisungs strange," Minho said as he walked with Felix through the woods, collecting old dried wood for the fireplace inside. The chimney was clear enough for them to use without smoking out the house so they decided a small fire wouldn't hurt.

"You get used to it," Felix said with a laugh and picked up a few sticks from the ground, "what's he up to now?"

Minho picked up a longer stick and stomped on the middle to snap is in half before bringing the two pieces into his arms.

"He acted like he didn't care what happened to me in the asylum and then last night he was talking to me all weird.." Minho explained as he watched Felix pick up another dried branch.

"Talking you how exactly?"

"I don't know... like I woke up and he was just- watching me sleep which is weird enough but then he was like- saying things like 'if you keep asking questions I'll have to shut that pretty mouth of yours'. It's weird and then this morning I went out to pee and he followed me, saying he wanted to see my dick.."

Felix laughed and stopped walking, his eyes shining a little bit.

"He's making you his new obsession," Felix said like it was supposed to be understood so well the first go around.

"What?"

"Ji is complicated," Felix explained softly, "he has to have something to obsess over or he goes crazy.. he's slightly mental, which I think we all are living in this world, but his gets bad. If he doesn't have anything to obsess over, he will lose it."

"Why me though?"

"We never know why he chooses what he obsesses over.. but really, I think it's whatever crosses his mind," Felix said softly and they began walking back to the house together. They'd be heading out late tonight to walk again so they were camping out for a little while.

"I see," Minho said, taking in this new information as he walked beside Felix.

"Don't take it to heart though, he'll have another thing to obsess over when he finds it. It never lasts long, and he will be over it in a few weeks I'm sure.. so don't be too uncomfortable with it,"

Minho hummed softly as he walked back up the steps to the house and back inside, setting the wood down on the floor and ignoring jisungs eyes staring him down.

Hyunjin walked into the living room with a smile and went up to Felix who smiled up at him.

They shared a few whispers and hugged tightly before Hyunjin moved over to the fireplace and began placing wood for a fire.

"You'll be meeting Chan and Seungmin tonight," he said and turned to Minho briefly before lighting a match and throwing it in the fire. Soft flames started and slowly began to grow into bigger ones as the wood began to burn.

"Who?"

"The leaders of the civilians," Hyunjin said and turned around with a grin.
