Midnight Rain || Soonwoo

27

They were happy that everything was fine. At least for now because Hyungwon and his gang were sent behind the bars for a few years. But just because one problem was solved didn't mean that everything was going to be okay. Seungkwan barely talked and it worried everyone including the teachers. But what surprised everyone excluding some people was that Vernon tried to get Seungkwan to talk and he talked with others for Seungkwan. It was surprising for most of them. Seungcheol and Wonwoo were proud of Vernon for talking more with others and making new friends. There was also a change in Wonwoo, making everyone a bit relieved that he was healing alongside Soonyoung. No one noticed Samuel though. He had become quieter and didn't bother about anything at all. He felt like no one cared about him, not even his older brothers

Am I that worthless?

Samuel thought as he sat down for lunch. He made sandwiches himself and brought it to eat it in class alone. He could feel his eyes sting so he took a deep breath and tried to relax before having his sandwiches. He finished quickly and stared at the ceiling, allowing his tears to fall as no one was there in his class. He felt so hopel
ess and helpless at that moment and he didn't know what to do anymore. He just hoped for it to get better soon so that he won't have to cry every lunch break like he did for the past 2 weeks. It hurt him

"Save me..."

Samuel whispered as he passed out. As if his wish was heard, Chan entered the class and saw Samuel passing out, making him freeze. It had taken him two weeks to gather up all his courage and talk to Samuel but he realized that he should have come sooner

"Sam!"

Chan exclaimed as he ran towards Samuel and shook his shoulders gently to wake him up but he didn't. He placed the back of his hand on Samuel's forehead and removed it quickly once he realized that Samuel was burning hot

Oh no...

Chan thought as he picked Samuel bridal style and rushed to the nurse's office. He was rushing down the stairs and didn't see that he missed a step. He tripped and let go off Samuel. Samuel was flying across the staircase

"SAM!"

Samuel woke up. This was the nth time he had seen the same dream again and again. He checked his watch and saw that it was 4:51am. He groaned and saw that Chan was asleep next to him. He then remembered that Chan was tutoring him but ended up falling asleep on the table so he had dragged him to the bed and put him to sleep

Darn it...

Samuel thought as he sighed deeply. He decided to freshen up and got out of bed. He took a long shower and decided to make breakfast for his cousins and Chan. After he was done showering, he did his usual morning routine and dressed up. He stepped outside the bathroom, grabbed his phone and headed downstairs to cook breakfast but as always, Mingyu had beat him to it

"Aww man!"

Samuel groaned as Mingyu chuckled lightly, already knowing why Samuel was downstairs early in the morning

"You can help me set up the table."

Mingyu stated as Samuel smiled a bit and set up the table for breakfast later on. He headed to the living room and plopped down on the couch and scrolled away on his phone. He updated himself on the news first and then replied to the messages sent to him. He frowned slightly, seeing Seungmin text him out of the blue as the latter never texted him unless to ask about Bang Chan's whereabouts. He opened the chats and read what Seungmin had texted him about and it made him freeze for a moment

Seungmin

Seungmin:

Hey... I uhh... my father informed me that they escaped... please be careful.

This was bad. Really bad. Samuel jumped from the couch he was laying on and immediately rushed to Mingyu, who was waiting for the breakfast to be ready

"Hyung! This is really bad!"

Samuel exclaimed as he literally shoved his phone on Mingyu's face. Mingyu took the phone and read the message, sending chills down his spine but for Samuel's sake, he kept calm

"Don't worry much Sammy."

Mingyu stated as he continued cooking. He couldn't afford to lose Wonwoo or anybody else. No he couldn't

"Don't tell anyone yet. I will inform them myself at school."

Mingyu stated as he didn't want to panic everyone early in the morning. He looked back at Samuel with a weak smile

"Go and get hyung and Chan for breakfast."

Mingyu stated as Samuel had no option but to keep quiet and listen to Mingyu. He went to wake up Taehyung and Chan. In the meantime, Mingyu served the breakfast and waited for them to come

"Good morning, Gyu."

Taehyung stated while walking downstairs, already dressed up for his school

"Good morning hyung."

Mingyu forced out a smile. Taehyung knew that it was a forced smile but decided to ask about it after breakfast. Samuel and Chan came downstairs not long after Taehyung did. The 4 of them settled down for breakfast. Samuel was nervously picking on his cereal while Mingyu was lost, munching on his sandwich

"Okay what's wrong wjth you two? Sammy looks like as if he is going to leave for a job interview and you are too lost in your thoughts, Gyu."

Taehyung spoke as he looked up at the two of them. Chan continued munching on the toast but slowly as Samuel and Mingyu made eye contact with each other before looking at Taehyung

"Let's at least finish breakfast hyung. We will tell you after that."

Samuel spoke as Taehyung sighed deeply and nodded before they continued eating. Right as they finished breakfast, Taehyung stood up and collected the dishes, placing them on the sink as he started washing them while Chan and Samuel sat on the counter with Mingyu leaning against the fridge

"Now tell me and Chan. Why were you two so nervous and lost?"

Taehyung asked as Mingyu gulped. He took a deep breath to tell the news while Samuel found the tiles of the kitchen floor more interesting

"Well... Hyungwon has escaped from prison."
