"Who did this to you?"Zuo Hang said mad as he walked past Zhu Zhixin.

"It was an accident..I fell on my face."I lied.

"Don't try to lie to me.You clearly got hit..now tell me who did it?"

"No one you should be concerned about."I replied.

"Why?"

"He was taken care of..."

Everyone was silent.

"There's a dead body in the forest?"Huang Shuo asked.

Everyone looked at him as he approached us with Zimo.

"No..there isn't..i just knocked him out."I replied.

"Damn.That's amazing."Zimo said with a laugh.

"Thanks..life's tough..got to hit before you get strike."I said with a smile.

"Clearly didn't take your own advice."Zuo Hang said quietly.

I just sighed.

"Come on Zeyu..i need to get you in in case of accomplices."I said as i pulled him to the building.

"How's the food?"I asked as i left the shower.

"It was great..i love having a gold key."Zeyu said.

I sat on the bed.

"Who are you rooming with?"

"Zhang ji."

"Oh."I reached into my databases of names.Zhangji.Zeyu's best friend..seems really extroverted and nice.Easy to ask for information.Good vocalist too.

"What's wrong?"Zeyu asked.

"Nothing?Why?"

"No..you have that look every time Zuo Hang and i mentions someone's name."

"Cataloguing."

"You're cataloguing my friends."Zeyu asked with an incredulous laugh.

"Of course..who knows when it'll come in handy."

"Okay suit yourself i guess..oh yeah..there's an extra bed on the floor..if you're not comfortable then i can get you a room of your own."Zeyu said.

"No..it's okay."

"Zhangji!Zhangji!"Zeyu shouted as he got ready for bed.

I was preparing my stuff for the next day as i watched Zhangji appear.He readied himself on the lightswitch and he clicked it but it didn't turn off and he still ran.

"Are you dumb or dumb?"Zeyu said with a laugh.

Zhangji laughed as he went back and turned it off.

They continued talking until 10 and it went silent.

"Yilin..yilin.."Zhangji whispered.

"What?"

"Do you think you're strong enough to defeat a bear?"

I mentally face palmed.

"Combat..no..but maybe when i have a gun?"

"What about like a tiger?"

"Zhangji shut up."Zeyu said.

"I thought you were sleeping."I said.

"Nah..i can't sleep."He replied.

"So..now what?"i asked.

"Horror stories?"Zhangji asked.

"Nah..the last time we did that i could not sleep the whole night."Zeyu said defensively.

"Aww..you're a scardie cat..i didnt know that."I teased.

"Shut up.."Zeyu said.

"How about 20 questions and we do so until someone falls asleep?"i suggested.

"Sounds good."

"Zhangji?What was your most embarrassing memory?"I asked.

"Why do you start with such a tough question?"He complained.

"If you cant answer it then you have to ding dong ditch,Zhu Zhixin's room." I said.

"But Zuo Hang's there too.."

"Well too bad..you gotta answer this question or you have to do the punishment."

"Fine..this one time i went to the company with Zeyu and we like went around leaving love notes in people's bags.. unfortunately,i wrote them and my handwriting is so atrocious that it's recognisable so people knew it was me and avoided me for days until i cleared that it was prank but up till now..some people are still skeptical."

I burst out laughing.

"Haha..very funny..my turn though..Zeyu..if you could change one thing about yourself,what would you change?"Zhangji asked.

"The way i look..people did say i look ugly and that they wished i wasn't even here because i am tainting the groups name."

We stayed silent after.

"Zeyu.."i sat up and looked at him in the dark."I think your features look best on you.It suits you and it makes you seem gentle and approachable you know?"

"Yeah..you look good no matter what."Zhangji added.

"Whatever..Yilin it's your turn."He said unconvinced then his face broke into a wicked grin."Who is your current celebrity crush?"

I finally realised why he seemed so confident.

"I don't have one."I replied.

"Okay but who do you like more now."

"I don't know any celebrities."

"Well you know us."Zhang ji chipped in as he caught on to Zeyu's plan.

"I'd rather not-"

"Okay then ding dong ditching it is."Zeyu said as he dragged me out of the room before i could defend myself.

I sighed as they pushed me out of the room in my pyjamas.I gingerly walked to Zhu Zhixin's room before looking back..and they gave me a thumbs up.I rolled my eyes before bracing myself.

As soon as i pressed the doorbell,i sprinted back only to see the door close before my face.

"Open up!"i pounded on the door as i heard them giggling behind the door.

Just then,Zhu zhixin's door opened.
