(Ww • Other Nothing)

Jisung looked at Seungmin, who was still examining the ring. The others were doing whatever, which left the two of them alone. 

“What do you have to hide?” Jisung finally spoke up. Seungmin snapped his head in Jisung’s direction.
“What?” He chuckled awkwardly. He dropped the ring he had in his hand, leaving it dangling on the silver chain. “Why would I have something to hide?”

“That’s my exact question.” Jisung said calmly. “What is it that you should hide from us?” He said. He might’ve been nosy, but he honestly really didn’t give a shit if Seungmin liked him or not. If Seungmin turned out to be dangerous he’d thank himself in the future.

“You’re crazy.” Seungmin chuckled as he turned away his gaze from Jisung.
“You should fucking hope I am.” Jisung said through gritted teeth, but he dropped the subject. He’d come back later with better arguments.

Felix was sitting with his back between Hyunjin’s legs. They were both watching on Hyunjin’s GPS for anything that they might be able to use the key for.

Hyunjin mindlessly zoomed in and out on random places, sighing in frustration when he found nothing. Meanwhile Felix just watched, softly caressing his knee to calm him down.

“Why wouldn’t they leave any sign of a lock or something?” Hyunjin groaned.
“Well even if there’s an exit it’s quite obvious why they wouldn’t note that down on the map.” Felix said. He started rubbing slow, gentle circles on his husband’s knee.

Hyunjin sighed. “Yeah but it’s-oh-“ He suddenly cut himself off. “Felix?” He said, with a kind of excited undertone.
“Did you find something?” Felix asked curiously, snapping his gaze back to the GPS.

“Shouldn’t this be something?” He asked carefully. Felix looked closer, and Hyunjin zoomed in.

On the map at what seemed like the dead end of a hallway there was a wall, and behind that nothing. There on the dead end, however, was the small icon of a closed lock. And around that a ring, but not a perfect ring, no.

A ring with what looked like the teeth of a key around it.

“We must tell the group at once!” Felix said as he stood up. He reached out his hand and Hyunjin took it at once.

“Guys!” Hyunjin exclaimed. He ran towards the group, which was sitting on the ground, all talking about the ring. The group looked up curiously.

“I think we might’ve found the room we might need.” Felix said. The group looked up curiously. Hyunjin kneeled down beside the sitting group and clicked his GPS. Everybody started pushing each other to get a closer look.

“Look!” Hyunjin pointed at the icon and zoomed in. “Maybe we need to go there?” He suggested. After the entire group had a good look at it they started discussing.

“It is a dead end though, it might be a trap.” Jisung said. Seungmin sighed dramatically.
“Jezus, isn't it obvious that’s the place we need?!” He exclaimed. Jisung threw him a venomous look but didn’t make another reply.

“Shouldn’t we just vote again?” Minho sighed. Changbin nodded.
“It worked the last time.” He said. Hyunjin nodded as well.

“Everyone who agreed on going that way, stick up your hand.” He said. Everyone except Jisung stuck up his hand. He groaned. Hyunjin was about to ask who was against, out of pure politeness, but Jisung was quick to cut him off.

“Don’t even bother.” He sighed. “Let’s just head over there already.”
