Heeseung
Heeseung awoke to the soft morning sunlight seeping through his window. He rubbed his eyes and groaned, feeling the familiar ache of another restless night. He glanced over at the girl next to him, Jia, still sound asleep. Shaking his head, he quietly got up and dressed, leaving her to her dreams.
As he walked down the hall towards the dining area, he could already hear the chatter and laughter of his friends. Sunghoon saw him first, waving him over. "Hey, Heeseung! Over here, man!"
Heeseung joined the table where his friends—Sunghoon, Jay, Jake, Sunoo, Jungwon, Ni-ki, and Yuna—were already gathered. The table was cluttered with breakfast dishes, and the smell of eggs and bacon filled the air.
"Morning, Captain," Jake teased, giving Heeseung a mock salute.
"Shut up, Jake," Heeseung replied, rolling his eyes as he grabbed a plate. "You guys are way too chipper for this early."
Sunoo smirked. "So, Heeseung, how was your night? I saw Jia leaving your room this morning."
The table erupted in laughter, everyone chiming in with their own jokes and comments. Heeseung shook his head, a smile tugging at his lips despite himself.
"It was just sex," Heeseung said casually, taking a bite of his toast. "No big deal."
"Just sex, huh?" Sunghoon raised an eyebrow. "Sure looked like more than that when you two were all over each other last night."
"Yeah, right," Jay added. "You always say it's just sex, but you're the one who ends up catching feelings."
Heeseung shrugged, not bothering to argue. "Whatever. We've got more important shit to deal with. We're running low on supplies, and we need to head into the city to gather materials."
The mood at the table shifted slightly, the reality of their situation settling in. Jungwon nodded. "Yeah, we're down to the last few cans of food. We need to restock, and soon."
Ni-ki looked around the table. "So, we're all going? The seven of us?"
Heeseung nodded. "No, someone needs to stay here and takw lwad while I'm away. Sunghoon, Jake, and I will go. We'll go in, get what we need, and get out. Quick and clean. Jay, you stay in charge while I'm gone okay?"
"Sounds like a plan," Yuna said, finishing her coffee. "But let's not forget we've got some badass women here too, just saying."
Heeseung smiled. "Never doubted it for a second, Yuna. But this time, it's just us guys. We'll be back before you know it."
After breakfast, the boys gathered their weapons and protection gear. Heeseung checked his gun, making sure it was loaded and ready. "Alright, everyone good to go?"
Jay gave a thumbs-up. "Let's do this."
They piled into the van, the engine roaring to life. As they drove towards the city, the tension in the air was palpable. They'd done this many times before, but there was always an element of danger.
