our treasure - ateez

two

first person; an min-ju

*beep* *beep* its times like these that I regret setting alarms. after successfully waking up from a quick nap I get out of my bed and walk into my bathroom. I wash my face then braid my hair to keep it off my face before going back to my room and choosing an outfit to go to the alternate universe in. I have some clothes there however they aren't always the most comfortable even though they keep me away from any suspicious local people.

I pick out a sandy brown jumper and some black sports leggings to wear as well as throwing on a pair of trainers. not really caring how I looked I quickly transported myself to the alternate universe. it may sound like  difficult task but in reality you just concentrate on the best place you remember in the world and you will be able transport yourself there.

I arrive in my house in the alternate universe and find everything as it was left the night before. checking the clock on the wall of the small house I find the time to be 9:47am. perfect. me and my friends meet at 10am every morning here as they know that I am form the other universe and they seem to be the one people I can trust. our house here is smaller because it is all our parents left us before disappearing. we have a small kitchen, a wardrobe and a bed on the floor in the corner as well as a bathroom. its not the best but there isn't anything that good in this world anyways.

walking out of the front door of the house I lock the door and head toward a small old cafe where I should meet my friends. there isn't too much in this world to look at apart from the contraptions some people come up with. many scrap parts seem to get here from my universe and I'm constantly wondering how thy get here. magic? anyway, people here seem to build weird contraptions for fighting each other. every saturday there is a fight in the middle of the street with the winner of the last fight and a new challenger. me and my friends like to watch this fight from the security of the cafe.

rounding a corner I look up from the dirt I was kicking with my shoes and find a gathering of people stood in the cross section. they all seemed to be crowded around something going on in the middle. I walk slowly toward the gathering trying to figure out what is going on. making my way behind people I can almost see over the heads of other people watching. in the middle of the circle it looks like-

"hey, an min-ju" I turn around hearing my name and find my two friends san-ha and ja-jung. "hey, do you know whats going on?" I ask them tilting my head to the side slightly as I do. "yeah"  san-ha replies, "apparently some of the members of nameless and the invisibles are fighting, again". he sighs.

"they are seriously gonna get themselves kicked out of the gang" I sigh. Im not sighing at this point because I care, because I honestly don't care about anything other than if people are going to steal my food. because that is punishable by death for me. "its only because the leader of nameless is in the other universe again, if he was here you could bet that wouldn't be happening." san-ha looks around as he talks, almost as if he is searching for something, or someone. 

off in the distance he seems to have caught his eye on something because I notice his eyes widen and eyebrows raise. I follow his gaze to see a member of the ateez gang being tied up by some other members of nameless. he seems to be unconscious. who know what they could be planning on doing to him.

"so this whole fight thing was a distraction." I say still watching the member who was now sat in a trailer behind one of the nameless gangs pickup trucks. this world may not be that developed but they still have cars. "seems like it" ja-jung says in an almost whisper. "should we help him?" san-ha asks both me and ja-jung.

"definitely"

third person;

sat in the back of the pickup truck as it started rolling away was one of the members of the ateez gang. he had just been knocked out by three members of the nameless gang who go by the names wonho, shownu and jooheon. they had been sent out by one of the higher authorities in the gang to collect a member to lure the others so that they could get rid of the gang once and for all. everyone in the village seems to know that the nameless gang have been trying to get rid of ateez for years, but nothing that they did seemed to work as ateez could always get out of their grasp before the nameless could do anything to them. 

min-ju, san-ja and ja-jung had saved the members before but still didn't know what they looked like. whether it was the three of them or just one of them, they had managed to save the members 5 or 6 times. whether it was the same member or a different one every time they couldn't be sure but they had also never been seen by the members and ateez thought that they had some form of guardian angels looking over them.

san-ha continued to watch the truck before realising that he had to go find his roommates as they said that they would be going somewhere that day. something about stargazing? "hey guys, I've got to go me and my roommates where going somewhere. can you two handle it on your own?" san-ha asks the two girls also watching the truck in the distance. "actually" ja-jung begins, "I also have somewhere I need to be, I was meant to tell you earlier but then we saw this." the two looked at min-ju who was not looking at the two of them. "are you kidding me?" she asked. the two shook there heads. " I can handle it on my own, but if something does happen to me its your fault, got it?" min-ju threatens, or tries to. "yes, we got it now bye" san-ha quickly says before running off.

min-ju returns her gaze to the truck after watching her friends run off to do whatever they needed to do and starts to sneak towards it. inside the truck the three nameless gang members were not paying much attention to the boy in the trailer at the back. starting the engine of the pickup truck they prepared to drive off. min-ju, after hearing the engine start ran and climbed into the trailer alongside the member of ateez.

the truck started to drive off out of the centre of the town and into the outer, more dodgy areas  of the town. min-ju sat in the back of the trailer watching the members moves. which wasn't really anything. she decided to try and wake the poor guy up before they got to wherever they did so she could help him out. 

she reached out her arm toward him when he suddenly jolted awake. min-ju who was quite startled by the sudden action screamed. not too loud. inside the truck the nameless members where screaming along to their favourite songs anyways so they couldn't hear anything that way happening in the trailer.

min-ju stared at the boy who was now awake and who didn't seem to notice that she was there. I mean he must be deaf or something because she just screamed. the member struggled for a minute in the ropes that he had been tied up in with min-ju watching him patiently. he looked up and locked eyes with her. now it was his turn to scream. 

"hey, you look kinda stuck, need help?" min-ju asked the boy while looking directly at him. he thought for a moment before relying. "nah, I'm good". min-ju just sat and watched as the boy struggled for another few minutes. she looked around realising how far into the outskirts they were and that they were almost out of the town. "crap" she said, almost whispering. the boy noticed her looking around and proceeded to do the same.

"hey, uh, I could kinda use that help now, please" the boy looked at min-ju with pleading eyes almost expecting her to deny him. "I thought you'd never ask and I would've abandoned you if we got much further away from the centre." min-ju replied while taking a pocket knife out of her pocket and cutting the rope that surrounded the boy.

"thanks, uh..." "min-ju, my name is min-ju. yours?" she looked at him, almost expecting him not to answer. "the name's seonghwa" he said and looked me in the eyes. I could tell he was smiling underneath his mask from the way his eyes smiled too. 

"so we should probably get off this trailer" min-ju said looking at the trailer then to the pickup truck where the gang members didn't even notice what was going on. "yeah lets get back to the centre" seonghwa said before grabbing min-jus arm and jumping off the trailer with her. "you could have warned me!" she screamed. "sorry" seonghwa said before starting to walk off toward the centre of town. min-ju just watched him walk away before he stopped and turned to face her. "thanks, by the way." he said. "no problem, it was my pleasure" min-ju replied before starting to walk by him to get to the centre.

she walked past seonghwa and kept walking until she got back to the centre. then realising she should get back the the other universe before its too late she transported home.

seonghwa just watched as she walked away, cute.
