I thought about what I was about to do inside the bathroom. I couldn't think there was... too many thoughts in my head. I opened the door and looked around. I couldn't think I... nothing was processing in my head. I made my way towards the end of the hallway and turned left. The guards were behind me. I kept running, I didn't stop. I found the wooden door, which was a little opened just like I left it. I went inside the room and shut the door behind me. There was Bang Chan sitting down in the middle of the room.

"How did you find me?" Chan asked with a confused expression. My whole body suddenly relaxed and I leaned myself against the table with the sudden reassurance that Chan was okay. A girl came from behind Chan.
"Don't worry, she's my friend." The girl smiled and her facial expression grew soft.
"Hello." The girl said.
"How is she-" Chan interrupted me, "Not hypnotized? I heard your little conversation with Gyuri outside. I gave her my earpiece so she wouldn't hear the clicking sounds."
"I thought you lost your earpiece?"
Chan started laughing to himself, "It was in my back pocket this whole time." I smiled at his clumsiness.
"CHAN?? IT THAT CHAN? WE'RE COMING TO PICK YOU UP DON'T GO ANYWHERE!" The guys yelled through the earpiece.
"Anyways, the guys are coming soon."
"Let's just wait here?" Chan asked. I sat near the door just in case anyone came.
The girl came and sat by me, "Bold of you to come here. Anyways, I have something for you."
She handed me a key.
"Did Gyuri tell you about the glitter-pink room yet? This is they key. Inside one of the floor panels in that room is the pendulum that Gyuri uses to hypnotize people. You have to stop it. When that happens, all the people will be back to normal."
I looked at Bang Chan, "Let's all get out of this room." All of us stepped out.
"Well, well. Seems like I didn't erase your memory enough." Gyuri said to the girl. We were all speechless. The hypnotized body guards came towards us with wooden sticks. I guess I'll have to force you guys to go to the time-out room.
"No you won't." Minho pushed Gyuri inside the room with the wooden door and locked it. The bodyguards seemed confused, not sure what to do. I ran towards the glitter pink room and Jeongin, Seungmin, and Felix followed. Behind them were bodyguards with sticks, doing were they were told to. Kill anyone that tries to open the door.
I stabbed the key into the lock and opened the door while Jeongin and Seungmin distracted the bodyguards to run a different direction. As I turned the knob I felt Felix's heavy breath so close to my face. Little did we know that there were more bodyguards coming out way. We both felt the sudden adrenaline as we tried to open the door before they came. I opened the door and we both rushed in, Felix shutting the door and ensuring that it was tight.
"Where's the light?" I asked while moving around in the dark. I put my hands out blindly, looking for a wall to balance myself. At last I felt something. It didn't feel like a wall though, it was Felix. He put his hands around my waist and gave me a tight hug.

"I missed you." Felix said in that deep voice of his. I hugged him back as tight as I could. I missed him. I really missed him. I wanted him more than anything. My weight ended up pushing Felix towards the wall, turning on the light switch. My eyes opened with the light and I turned around, Felix's hand still wrapped around my waist. I wish we weren't in this situation, I wish I could stay like this forever. But outside of this room were 8 other kids being attacked by hypnotized people.
I searched the floor hoping to find a broken floor panel.
"There it is." Felix said. I sat down by him as he took out the broken piece. Inside was a small pendulum the size of a cell phone. My intentions were to find a switch and turn it off. Instead, Felix stood up and stepped on it, breaking the ticking clock in half. I looked at him in sudden shock.
"Sorry, I hated that thing." We both peeked outside the room to see if our plan worked. The women who were chasing us earlier with sticks stared at us in confusion, wondering what they were doing.
"Guys, I think it worked! Let's go outside!" Jeongin said through the earpiece. I looked at Felix and we grabbed my hand as we went outside the mansion, now completely filled with bright lights. Before we left the room we heard Hyunjin and the girl pass by.
"You know, you're pretty cute for muscular girl. How do you work out like that? Do you play sports?" The girl laughed at his sudden curiosity. Felix and I looked at each other with smirks on our faces and smiled at our similar thoughts.

All of us met outside, the guys and the guards as well. The girl talked to all the guards and they went back inside the mansion. Two of the more muscular guards waiting outside on both sides of the doors. The girl came back to Hyunjin.
"What did you tell them?" I asked.
"I explained what happened and I asked them to do whatever they want. They told me they're going to stay here in the mansion and make sure Gyuri doesn't get out."
We both looked at the mansion, now filled with bright lights and happy faces.
"Speak of the devil." Changbin said.
Gyuri walked down the hallway, her red face and her messy hair expressing her distress. She tried to pass the door but the two guards stopped her.
"I'm afraid you'll have to stay inside," One of the guards said.
"What? Seriously? You're gonna trap me in my own mansion?" The guards shut the door on her and laughed.
"Let's get out of here. Looks like they got it all covered." Chan said.
The 11 of us, including the girl, got in our separate cars and left the mansion home.
"So what's your name?" I asked the girl once we got in the car.
"My names Ae-Cha." The girl answered with a smile.
Ae-Cha... looks like we're going to be friends for a long time.
