IT HAD BEEN exactly an hour of their unsuccessful search for a missing Younghyun. They looked around the streets and chanted his name, in hopes for him to call back. To their avail, they couldn't find him. Panic began to rise up in the boys as they began to pick up their pace, their chants beginning to get louder.
"Where could he be??? It's been a whole hour! I hope he's ok..." Wonpil rambled on, guilt beginning to take over his body as they continued to walk down the spine tingling street.
He blamed himself for everything. He suggested to play the rigged game, knowing there might be consequences. He went along with it, even though Dowoon insisted they didn't. Now, there's someone after them and his friend was missing, all because of him.
"This is my fault.." Sungjin placed his hand on the latter's shoulder and shook his head in disagreement.
"Don't blame yourself Wonpil—"
"No! Don't tell me I shouldn't when I'm the one to blame for all of this!" Anger and sorrow laced in his tone, as he lashed out on the elder.
"Wonpil don't think like that—"
"Why??! It's true! I knew the game was crazy! Fuck, it's all over the news! For all I know Younghyun could be dead! It's my fault! Dowoon even tried to warn me and what did I do!? Made fun of him! Don't tell me how to think Park!" Jae's eyes widened from shock while Dowoon did his best to hold back his tears, not wanting his friends to fight.
"Wonpil..I'm telling you this now, this is no time to play the blame game and this is certainly no time to be negative. What we need to do is go find Younghyun! We all make mistakes because we're human! What we can't do is dwell on our mistakes!" A tear slipped from Wonpil's eyes, and soon enough one came after another until he was crying up a stream.
Dowoon watched as Wonpil broke down crying, feeling hurt that he was in that position. He never wanted to see his best friend in this state; ever. He walked over and placed an arm around him, pulling him in closer.
"Please don't cry hyung..We'll get through this, together!"
"Yeah, don't put so much pressure on yourself Wonpil because everyone took part in this. We all knew the game was bad, but we all wanted to play still." Said the boy with glasses as he tried to reassure Wonpil.
"Actually I didn't want to plaaay—"
"Hush Dowoon!" Sungjin scolded, looking at the puppy like boy in annoyance. Dowoon let out a shy laugh and ruffled his hair.
"We have to keep looking for Younghyun. He's still out there, and he's in trouble." The boys nodded in agreement, knowing they didn't have a lot of time. They had to find Younghyun and fast. Anything could happen.
"Let's go."
"And remember, we stick together."

I don't remember much. I remember the feeling of being hit with a great amount of force on my side. The pain still lingered. I still remember the last thing I was told before I blacked out from all the pain.
Truth or dare...my fate is in my hands.
And piecing this all together, the kidnapper was that mystery person.
I opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness. My hands were tied behind me and my legs were tied as well. My lips were sealed with tape, which took away my ability to speak.
I wanted out.
The sound of a creaky door opening filled the room and fear clogged my throat as I heard the sound of footsteps get closer and closer. I felt my stomach knot up as the sound of footsteps finally stopped.
"I see you're up, Younghyun."
I tried to reply, only to have my voices muffled by the peace of tape that sealed my lips. The sound of footsteps began to start up again, only getting louder, assuming he was getting closer to me, causing chills to go up my spine. The footsteps came to a halt, as a sickening silence swept into the room. In an amount of time, the tape was harshly ripped off my lips, causing them to sting as they came in contact with the cold temperature in the room.
"Let's continue our little game, hm? Truth or dare?"
"Who are you!!? Show yourself!"
"That's not an answer, Younghyun. You might want to consider on picking one, or things could go the wrong away."
"Ok...I'll choose..Truth."
"Truth huh..You like to put others lives before yours, more so a friend? is that the truth?"
"Yes..that's the truth." I sat there in silence again, hoping that would've been the last thing the person would ask me.
