Seungmin was anything but stupid, and as the days passed the whole of Supernova by quickly, the redhead delved deeper into the mystery of the MIA file. He considered telling Jeongin about it, but in the end he decided it would be better if he kept it all a secret from the younger boy. But, Jeongin already knew that Seungmin was hiding something from him. He was hurt by the fact that his partner was once again keeping secrets from him, but he didn't want to say anything about it. After all, things were finally falling back into place between the two of them, and Jeongin worried that if he said anything that things would become strained between the two of them again, and that was the last thing the young boy wanted. It was early in the morning, and most of the other members were fast asleep in their beds. Even Minho had peacefully drifted off into dreamland that night. Ever since the redhead had showed him the photos inside the MIA file, he'd had a hard time falling asleep. The images of the young boy haunted his dreams, and the thought of that boy being someone in Supernova made his head spin. However, that night, he'd finally been able to remove the photos from his mind long enough to slip into a peaceful sleep.

Seungmin sighed quietly, realizing that he'd once again stayed up all night going over the file's contents over and over and over again. He was obsessive when it came to things, and he just had to know if his suspicions were correct. It was the second time that week that he'd gotten no sleep at all, and he just hoped that Jeongin would allow him to rest instead of waking him up for breakfast. The redhead slipped the file underneath his pillow and turned his bedside lamp off before resting his head on his pillow and closing his eyes. As Seungmin tried to fall asleep, the exact opposite could be said for one of the inhabitants of the room just down the hall. Changbin had just woken up, and even though it was early, he decided to stay awake instead of trying to get more sleep. He figured that he'd need to do some hardcore planning before they officially left on their mission. The day that both the raven haired boy and his partner were so worried about creeped up on them before they knew it. Felix had completely gained his strength back, but Changbin was still worried about him. And, after last mission, it was clear that he had every right to be worried about the Australian's safety and his own. There was absolutely no telling what they'd see inside Crimson Vector the second time around.

Over a month had passed since Felix arrived as the newest member of Supernova, and Changbin found himself wondering just how he'd let himself become so very fond of the taller boy. Maybe it was his smile, or his kind eyes, or his willingness to help Changbin get a good night's rest; but whatever it was, the raven haired boy was thankful for it, and he knew that he couldn't ask for a better partner. Felix seemed to understand him in ways that nobody had ever bothered to try and understand him before. The older boy was also over the moon about the fact that even after seeing his scarred arms, Felix never once looked at him strangely. The way the brunette treated him stayed the exact same, and Changbin was so unimaginably thankful for that. So thankful, in fact, that he was planning on telling Felix everything about his past before they set off on their mission. Or, at least of a great deal of it anyway. He thought it was time to tell someone about it, and he couldn't think of a better person to explain it to. He wanted Felix to know about almost everything.

But the universe was against all the members of Supernova that day. A loud crash was heard, waking all the members. Seungmin hadn't yet fallen asleep, and he quickly realized that something definitely wasn't right. He sat upright in bed, his eyes drifting to where Jeongin was groaning on the floor after falling off his bed due to the suddenness of the booming noise. Changbin became increasingly alert, and he regarded Felix carefully as the Australian sat up in his bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes roughly. Minho, who was still harboring massive guilt about Hyunjin's injury, quickly made his way over to his partner's bedside, standing guard beside the dark haired boy. Chan and Jisung jumped up quickly and made sure to keep close to one another, making sure that they had one another's back if anything was to go horribly wrong. Woojin and Red met up at the end of the hallway, nervously observing their surroundings. Slowly, the other members slipped out from their rooms, making sure every step each of them took was cautious. Hyunjin and Minho were the first to exit, followed by Changbin and Felix. The raven haired boy noted the way his partner was shaking slightly out of fear, and in an attempt to make the younger boy feel better, the older reached out and gently slipped his hand into the Australian's.
