ch. 8

Hyunwoo and Minhyuk were nowhere to be seen the next da at the cafeteria. The athmosphere was very depressing at their table, very dull. But rather than Minhyuk and Hyunwoo's absence, it was the sadness radiating off of Hoseok. They ate in silence until Hoseok finally decided to speak.

''Hyungwonnie, I'm sorry,'' he said, his bottom lip sticking out, eyes teary. Hyungwon sighed, resting his head on his large hand.

''For the millionth time, it's not your fault, Hoseok,'' Hyungwon said, looking almost fed up. ''It was the guy's fault. Besides, no one really liked him here anyways, so I don't think we lost anything important.''

Kihyun thought he must've been blind before Hyungwon's words because he was only seeing now that Hyungwon's left hand was bandaged and his neck had slightly red scratches. If they weren't in prison, he would've guessed that he had had an affair... not that he couldn't now.

''He deserved that,'' Hyungwon said calmly. Hoseok whimpered miserably.

''You didn't, though.'' he whined. Ever since Kihyun had caught Hyungwon having a moment with Hoseok, he had been wary around both of them. It had come to the point where his curiosity almost got the best of him;  he had almost asked Hoseok, before climbing on the top bunk one night, what kind of relationship he had with Hyungwon, but had decided not to. He felt like f he did, Hoseok would tell Hyungwon about it and Hyungwon seriously  creeped him out.

But at the same time, he was curious about just what Hyunwon was. Even though he creeped him out, Hyungwon was a very... intriguing person. Although he lacked emotions most of the time, it seemed like his switch was flipped whenever he was around Hoseok. His eyes looked less cold when he was with him, the corners of his lips were curled up just a little bit when he was with him. When he was with him, he was almost a normal, functioning human. But when he wasn't...

''Stop crying,'' Changkyun groaned. ''You cry about everything, Hoseok.''

Hoseok sniffed and looked at his, a tear sliding down his cheek. Hyungwon's head shot up from his hand immediately, eyes widening.

''Hoseok?'' he said, hand moving to the older's shoulder. ''Are you actually crying?''

Hoseok looked at him with blurry eyes. It was as if he wanted them to pity him. ''I'm sorry, Hyungwonnie. It's all my fault.''

Hyungwon's eyes suddenly became softer as they got back to their normal size. He put his long arm around the man's shoulders, pulling him closer to himself. Jooheon made a choking sound, hands gripping his throat.

''Don't cry, Hoseok,'' he said, smiling. ''My heart hurts when you cry.''

Hoseok leaned into his touch, Hyungwon scissoring his cheek in return. Hoseok laughed like a baby.

''They're so lovey-dovey,'' Jooheon cried, banging his head on the table. ''My eyes are burning. Too much PDA is bad for me, stop it!''

Changkyun rolled his eyes. ''Let them have their moment, man.''

Kihyun could only stare. This was Hyungwon. Not the robotic, emotionless model. This was Hyungwon. The loving, sarcastic model. Kihyun smirked, living the joy of finding out something interesting.

Changykun stood up, pulling Kihyun up from his seat as well as his momentary fun. Kihyun didn't fight against it.

''We'll be going,'' Changlyun smiled at Jooheon who looked at them for a moment, uninterested. He put his head back on the table.

Changkyun held hs hand and started walking swiftly out of the cafeteria, ignoring the looks everyone gave them. Kihyun saw Wonwoo from the corner of his eye, the man sitting with an impressve amount of guys. He smiled at him, Wonwoo smiling back immediately. Changkyun picked up his pace upon seeing that. Kihyun stumbled after him.

''Where're we going- Changkyun, slow down, I'm going to fall-''

''Too bad you aren't tall enough,'' Changkyun said smugly as he started running along the halls which were getting darker. Kihyun noticed these were the halls that led to the big door. He huffed.

''You're just a centimeter taller than me, kid!''

Changkyun finally came to a halt. They were right in front of the metal door. Kihyun felt weirdly intimidated. He came closer to Changkyun, hoping the man wouldn't notice in the darkness of the place. But of course he did- Changkyun noticed everything. He put his hand on Kihyun's waist.

''Here we are,'' Changkyun grinned at Kihyun, eyes shining with a boyish glint. ''This is it.''

''It's just a damn door,'' Kihyun panted. ''A door we can't even open. What do you mean, this is it?''

''I'm not talking about the door,'' Changkyun laughed. ''It's no use looking at that.'' he pointed at the wall, ''Look. Now that's a thing worth looking at.''

It looked like any wall at first glance, but once Kihyun came closer to it, he saw something sticking out on the wall. There was something slightly like a... was that a crack? A crack on the wall.

''What is that?'' Kihyun asked but felt stupid right after. ''I mean, yeah, it's a crack. But I don't see anything special.''

Changkyun kneeled down next to the crack, smiling at Kihyun.

''You know the rumors about a guy getting stuck between the two doors?'' Kihyun nodded. ''It's complete bullshit.'' he pushed the crack. 

A huge chunk of the wall slid out. Light peeked in. Kihyun saw  the long grass covering the opening. Changkyun chuckled.

''He's out there.''

This chapter's a bit shorter :( But whatever. It's the start of a fun chapter, so I'll let it stay short. Thank you for reading my pretty badly written story!
