"We are really busy, aren't we?"

Everyone nodded. The obvious interrogation meant to be a serious one, but some of them just laughed it off. They couldn't however deny that it's a fact.

"Too busy that we couldn't even find our own lover. Too busy for that lovelife shit— and I'm starting to get afraid that we'll grow old as single men."

One of shortest among the group told with a sly grin printed on his face.

"Lovelife doesn't even matter to me anymore. All I wanna do is have a job and that's it, my life would be complete. 'Ya gotta be more practical dude."

The tall, brown-haired male wheezed after he said what he had to. But really, his statement meant nothing for him as it was going the other way around.

They shrugged their shoulders and continued walking along the streets of Seoul. The city lights were the only lights which allowed them to walk their way back home for the moon's bright light was being covered by gloomy, growling clouds. Despite their own fears, everyone was laughing about random things.

As the group of males were walking across the street, it then began to rain heavily. Luckily, they have an umbrella, well— not all of them actually.

"Poor Suho. Chanyeol you should share your umbrella with him 'cause it's the biggest one, you know?"

Baekhyun, the noisiest of them all, spoke.

"I hope that I didn't heard that one the other way."

Sehun, a tall male besides Chanyeol, replied as he cringed awkwardly.

Suho just blinked and ignored them as he was too busy wearing his own raincoat. He yawned and followed the others. He was thinking to himself, why would they walk to their houses if they can just get a taxi? Besides, everyone else feels sleepy like him. It was Chanyeol's absurd idea about walking instead of riding to save money that started this.

Not too soon, the rain still didn't end- but instead became a very heavy one. It's raining cats and dogs. Thunder can already be heard once again an the small, pale-looking male was startled.

"Yah! I'll go get a taxi instead. Come on, who wants to join me?"

The rest of the boys shook their heads and continued to walk away. But now, Suho didn't follow them. He stood there and sighed while waiting for a taxi to come. And after several minutes of waiting, what he's looking for finally arrived.

Suho opened taxi's door and went inside, struggling to remove his soaking raincoat. He sat back and yawned once again. A yawn that eventually ended with him unintentionally falling asleep on the way back home.

He was in a deep sleep with no specific dream and he doesn't want to wake up. From all the exhaustion he felt that week, he sure is too worn out.

Fifteen boring minutes finally passed and the place where Suho was suppose to make a stop was too far from wherever they are now. He didn't know, and he wouldn't. The only thing that's coming out of him was his soft snoring.

Fifteen more minutes passed. And by this time, the driver caught one passenger, sleeping. He made a loud beep noise to wake him up, visibly irritated.

Hearing the loud noise, trepidation takes over and Suho got startled, causing him to finally wake up with his hands placed above his chest.

"Young man, do you even know where we are now? Get down now. "

The driver's too enraged at this point. The other male blinked and looked around through the transparent window, and yes, this place is already far from his. Immediately, he searched for his wallet and handed the driver his payment before running off, ashamed of himself.

Suho worriedly looked at the time on his watch, 12:08 AM.

He doesn't want to admit it to himself, but the fear in his eyes speaks for it though nobody's around. Icy chills were scrawling on his skin and his palm starts to sweat. The silence was too loud in the unfamiliar but also familiar place. Someone barely walks on this street.

He sighed and made another yawn. As much as he wanted to fall down into anything, even on the ground and fall asleep, he knows that he can't.

"Incoming!!"

There was a loud thump and a groan of a person who's now lying on the ground, Suho.
