Chapter 15 - Finale

     "Hey guys... um... it's me, Chan, and yes, I'm alive." He nervously said as he completely enters the room. We were about to say something when he raised his hands. "Waiiiiiiiiiiit!" He even shuts his eyes. "Before you get angry at me, I want to say sorry. Sorry for lying. Sorry for everything. But well... also, congratulations!!! You did it!!! I'm so proud of you!"

     "Congratulations for what? For almost dying? Hyung, I don't understand any these." I cried.

     "Hyunjin, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, everyone, that you have to experience all of these. You guys didn't let me down."

     "Hyung, what are you talking about? Please explain it now! I thought you were dead!" Felix said.

     "Okay, let me break it down for you. I didn't die; it was fake, all of it. The doctor knows about it and told you that I'm dead, when in fact, I'm not. The police also know about it, that's why they don't really help you that much. Changbin knew about it when JYP PD talked to him and was convinced to help us, while Jeongin knew about it when he was kidnapped and decided to help too. The bomb was fake, and it would really not explode whatever happens. The text messages you received were scripted. The unknown number was actually me, well except for the text messages that Felix received. We purposely threatened you to test how much you trust your teammates, and how much sacrifice can you do for them. Everything was planned. And!" he raised his hands as if he was surrendering. "It was all JYP PD's idea. I knew about it when I told JYP PD that someone's been threatening Felix to kill me, and it turned out to be his doing. So, I was also a victim during the beginning. Congratulations, because you passed – no... we passed!"

     "Passed what?"

     "The test."

     "What test? Hyung, Seungmin and I were locked in jail, because of this test?" Jisung reacted. "I told the police that I killed you, because you said you'll kill Minho hyung if I would not!" He started crying as he said those words. Chan hyung approached him and hugged him. "Hyung, I was so scared then!"

     "You said you'll kill me?" Minho hyung looked at Chan hyung unbelievably.

     "Um... sorry." Chan hyung smiled guiltily. "You were the closest one to Jisung so I thought it would be the best blackmail."

     "You don't know how much I suffered the moment I took your place as a leader!" Chan hyung hugged him tight. "I was lost, hyung! I was so stressed that I didn't even know what I'm doing. There are a lot of things happening at the same time that I don't know where I should focus first. I thought I'm going to be crazy. I was about to lose my mind. I feel depressed knowing that you're not there anymore to help me get through this. Now I know what you feel when someone gets in trouble. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry."

     Chan hyung pulled away from the hug. "Shush! Why are you even apologizing? That's what I'm supposed to do here. You did a great job, Minho. You can actually replace me now."

     "What? No!" Jisung objected. "He just let me go to jail after sacrificing for him!!!"

     "Shut up, Jisung!" We just laughed at the two. "I even got into an argument with Woojin hyung, because of this so-called test of yours! What the heck?" he turned back to Chan hyung.

     "Right!" Woojin hyung agreed. "You forced me to argue with the members! How dare you, Chan!"

     "Awww I'm sorry! Come here!" Chan hyung opened his arms for a hug, and Woojin hyung gladly got into them.

     "You know me so well, Chan. I can't believe you asked me to argue with the members, when I personally told you that it would be the least thing I probably wanted to do with them!"
