"I never thought he would be your boyfriend. Lucky you" Mia said, finally smiling genuinely.

"Hey! You're lucky too. Thanks again Fourth. For taking us out of this hellhole" Alex defended and I smiled.

"It wasn't all me"

Just then, the door opened and neighbor boy walked in. He looked sad. Like usual.

He still looked sad even though he was getting out for good.

"Hey" Mia called softly

"Are you okay?" Alex asked and he slightly nodded. No one bought it but decided not to pressure him.

"You guys ready? Mr. Norawit is here" Natalie walked in and everyone's smile disappeared.

"We are ready" I said and stood up. Everyone followed.

"Come on then. Follow me" Natalie turned around and walk away and everyone followed her.

I looked around the room before closing the door with a soft click.

Waiting for us at the doorway, stood the nice guy and Gemini. They were talking. Stopped when they spotted us.

I smiled at Gemini. Not the most genuine but still a smile.

The nice guy led us outside while Natalie talked to Gemini.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Norawit..." Her voice faded when the nicer guy closed the front door.

"Stay safe." The nice guy deadpans.

Neighbor boy nodded while we stayed silent.

After a few minutes, the door opened and Gemini walked out, followed by a smiling Natalie.

"Lets go" Gemini whispered, brushing past me to get to his car.

He brought his black SUV.

After a small lecture from Natalie, we head to the car.

The three of them sat in the backseat and Gemini in the driver's seat.

Before entering, I take a look at the house.

Suddenly, the curtain from one of the windows moved and revealed Maria. She standing there, smiling widely with a knife in her hand. Slowly, she moved the knife across her other palm, making a very bloody X.

I look away, determined not to look her way again. I quickly get in the car and relax against the leather seat.

Im free. Finally.

Timeskip

We were still in the same road. On one side, there is trees, leading into the depths of the woods. And on the other, there was nothing. Just a very long field.

Turning my eyes to Gemini, I see one of his hands on the steering wheel and the other grabbing a cigarette.

"Don't smoke." I say, knowing that he probably won't give a shit and smoke anyway.

But opened his window and threw the cigarette away.

"That easily?" I widen my eyes slightly and raise my eyebrows.

"Well your health is important." He replies casually.

"My health? What about yours?"

"Yours is more important and worth mentioning first"

My cheeks burn and I look away. From the rearview mirror, I could see Alex and Mia smiling and silently chuckling. But neighbor boy? He was looking out the window with an unreadable expression.

Timeskip

Finally, after what feels like forever, we pull up infront of a...mansion?

The mansion looked new.

But why are we here?

One by one, we get out of the car. With Gemini walking in the lead, we enter the mansion.

"This is where you guys will live, from now on. You'll have maids to cook, clean and do whatever. You'll all have mobile phones and laptop. One of my worker will also be here, in case something goes wrong and if you want to go back to college or university, get a degree or have a job, you can tell him and we'll arrange it for you." Gemini says casually as if getting devices for everyone and getting almost all of them into university isn't a big deal.

They all had wide eyes, trying to take everything in.

"But, of course, if you wanna relax and live your life, I won't be in your path. Go ahead and do whatever you want. Any complaints?"

"N-no. Thank you but this is too much" Mia says after a long moment of silence.

"No its not. I offered it and you will take it. So, any problems? You can tell me and I'll get it fixed"

"There's no problem. Thank you, Mr. Norawit" Alex says, bowing his head a little back.

He smiles, probably proud of himself.

"Ok, then. We'll take our leave. If anything happens, tell him" They all nod and he turns around, walking towards the exit.

"Thank you again, Fourth" Mia said in a soft tone.

I just smile and wave them goodbye before exiting the mansion.

"You didn't have to do all that" I say coldly as I get into the car.

"They are all gonna live here after that Mr. Asshole gets them out" He is talking about the nice guy.

"That's the least I can do to help them"

I nod, deciding not to argue with him anymore.

The car ride was short. Very short.

We soon entered a very familiar neighborhood. My neighborhood.

Tears rush back to my eyes as we pass by the houses and pull into my driveway.

"Ohm, Mark and Joong are inside. If you want, I can tell them to go and you can take rest?" Gemini asks and I shake my head.

"I wanna meet him"

Gemini opens the door and takes a step inside and I follow him.

The familiar air and interior gets to me. The scent, Gemini's cologne. Everything.

I take another step inside. And another. Until Im standing in the middle of the house.

Suddenly, a figure appears.

"Fourth?"
