"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, your a mouse in a clock. Hickory dickory dock."

"Jaeyun..." Riki mumbled as he pushed the older out of the hug, it didn't feel right. It didn't feel real, Jaeyun was scaring him. "Yeah?" Jake asked as he sat down infront of him. Riki got up his hands cupping his sleeves, "I-I.... I hate you so much." Riki mumbled as he grabbed his phone and ran out of the café. 

"Riki-san!" 

Riki ran, where to? He didn't know but his gut was just telling him to run and run far away from wherever he was, he wanted to die. Right then and there. Riki stared at the sun in the sky, it was so bright, so round like a clock. Riki felt his eyes water, why couldn't he just disappear? Just run away and never exist. A ticking clock, an old grandfather clock. It's patience so well, so strong. Riki felt like a mouse, he was taller. But he felt so small when he's with all of his members; his hyungs. A small mouse, nothing better to do. Just running up and down the huge clock. 

Hickory dickory dock. The mouse went up the clock.

Riki took a breath, he stared at his phone more tears prickling his eyes as he stood in the sidewalk. "I fucking hate all of them." Riki walked his legs felt sluggish as he took a walk– where to? Who knows. 

"Riki.." 

Fucking Jaeyun. What does he want, Riki just wants to cry, just sob and get Jaeyun out of his life, No. All of them, why did he decide to get answers? He felt an overwhelming pain struck him as Jaeyun pulled him into a hug, "I hate you so fucking much. " Riki mumbled softly as tears threatened to consume him and stream down his pretty, puffy cheeks. "Why did you leave?" Jaeyun asked as he held Riki tighter, Was he asking when he left the café or group? Maybe both.., "You're horrible, all of you." Riki mumbled as he pushed Jaeyun's chest again making the older stumble in his steps. 

"I-I don't know why I asked to meet up," Riki started as he wiped his eyes with his sweater sleeves. "But I fucking hate all of you, I-I hope ypur life get ruined, hyung." Riki stuttered as he walked away, the last glance Jake got of Riki was a tear-stained cheek, that was puffy and he was crying, He looked like he was about to combust.

The clock struck one. The mouse went down.
