IRREGULAR [NCT127xR.V.Seulgi]

"This isn't the first, so I'm not really surprised." the man said smiling. "I'm Yuta."

"Oh..." Seulgi gasped slightly, embarrassed, "Sorry."

"It's fine. We're used to it, people mixing us up." he continued wiping her face for her. Seulgi smiled in appreciation and looked away. "Why were you crying? Do you... miss your brother?"

"Y... Yes..." she tried replying despite the pain of realisation. "I hate him for sending me here, but... I can't help miss him..."

"I guess I can empathise with you a little." Yuta said smiling sadly. "My family left me and returned to Japan more than a decade ago."

"Why?"

"You know." he raised his eyebrows, and she got the hint. "Taeyong found me hanging around, and we became close friends since then. We made a promise that one day, we will fight for our rights as people."

"That was sweet." she chuckled, curiosity filling up inside her. "What... Uh... what code are you?"

"Yellow."

"Oh."

"You don't know your's, do you?" he asked teasingly.

"I guess not..." she smiled half hearted. "Heechul never told me because..."

"He faked your scan, and pretended that you were normal." he answered, shocking the lady. "I know because Taeyong told me first, well, and Taeil since he's the Green in charge."

"Why you?" she cocked her head.

"We're like brothers from different mothers. And I'm also the Yellow in charge, with Johnny." he explained. Seulgi stared at him for a while, wondering if her assumption is true.

"Are all of you coded Irregulars?"

"Yea." his answer seemed a little bright. "You'll know who is who soon, but right now, you should go to bed. It's getting late. I'll walk you." he offered his hand as he stood up. Seulgi smiled back at him and followed. He took her through the building back to her own room.

"Thank you." they waved at each othet before she went inside and got ready to sleep.

As she laid down trying to sleep, which was obviously impossible since she had just woken up, she observed herself in the mirror in front of her, talking to herself.

"OK Seulgi. Like Baekhyun said, there's a logical explanation for this. Heechul wouldn't do this for no reason."

Maybe Sohee made him do it...

"No. No, Sohee's nice. She would never do that. She doesn't even know about me." she said fighting with her concious.

"Seulgi," she snapped out of her thoughts, "don't badmouth Sohee like that." she looked up to see who came in.

"Baekhyun? Sorry..." she looked down in shame as her brother glared at her. Baekhyun sighed and sat next to her, patting her head.

"Just here to check up on you. Feeling alright?" she nodded. "Good. I'm leaving early tomorrow, and will be back late. So don't be too scared." he assured her. She smiled at him as he got up, tucking her into bed. "Good night. Don't stress too much, OK?"

"OK. Good night." she replied. He smiled and kissed her forehead before leaving the room, closing the door behind him. Seulgi stared at the closed door for a long time.

When did this all begin...

Mum and dad, now Heechul...

What's wrong with being irregular?

I'm not a killer...

Or am I...

Maybe I am...

I'm supposed to be a Red...

The guys here, so far are all Greens and Yellows...

I'm the only danger in here...

Did they escape like me?

Does the Government take in Greens and Yellows too?

Who are they? Why are they hiding? They're not dangerous.

After thinking so much, her brain was much more tired than her body, and she slowly drifted off, hugging the blanket tight.

"Seul... Oh..."
