"i want to help." - 20

"it's okay. i want to help." Chenle told her.

"Wait, really?" Miseo questioned.

"Yes. I couldn't say anything earlier in front of my hyungs, which is why I stayed quiet. But i'm on your side." Miseo felt so thankful for Chenle right now. "I might not be much of a help, because my spirit animal is a literal dolphin, but, I'll try my best. For the world."

"It's perfect Chenle. You'll be a huge help! Thank you so much!" She pulled the boy into a tight hug.

"A dolphin might help, but a tiger is way cooler." Miseo and Chenle looked to the door to see Jisung smiling genuily at them.

"Wait, Jisung, are you–"

"Yes, I have come to your rescue. I also happened to stay quiet the whole time as the hyungs agreed to take a break. You can hug me too now." Miseo didn't hesitate to run and hug Jisung as well.

"Are you serious though, Jisung?" She asked as she slowly removed her arms from around his waist. "Because last time this happened–"

"I know, I know. Last time I was a braty toddler that didn't want to be judged and bullied by the world. But, I think now, I've mentally aged the ten years we slept and became a man. The world may not accept us, and there's nothing I can do about it except try to change their minds. And I think saving everyone is a great place to start." He did sound manlier now, and it was creeping both Miseo and Chenle out.

"I'm glad you like my idea, and I'm glad the two of you are here." Miseo gleamed in between the two youngest. "Now, let's start planning our battle."

"Wait, we're not gonna wing it like we always do?" Chenle asked.

"Well, this time we're not dealing with forest canibals or a robot dinosaur." Miseo reminded them.

"Oh, right. Demons. I forgot." Chenle mumbled sarcastically.

"I have some ideas of my own–" the three teenagers shot Doctor a sharp glare. "But, I see I am not wanted here so I'll give you guys some space." He slowly backed away from them. "I'm still coming back later to share my ideas though."

"Okay, whatever!" Miseo exclaimed, as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm also leaving my androids to keep an eye on you." Doctor added, before going towards the elevator. Both Chenle and Jisung felt shivers run down their spine as the terrrifying androids stared at them in silence.

"Actually, wait!!" Chenle screamed, just before the elevator doors closed.

"Yes?" Doctor immediately put his hand in between the elevator doors so they could open again.

"Can you get like other androids? Ones that aren't skinned and have piercing red eyes?" Chenle asked.

"You're lucky I do happen to have Androids that look like Jeongin and Paris." Jeongin's head peeked up when Doctor answered. Doctor clicked the earpiece around his ear. "Androids 279 and 394 come to the main room in Beomgyu and Hueningkai form." He said into the earpiece.

There was a few seconds of silence before you could hear heavy footsteps make their way to the closed door. The handle started to shake violently, making all three teenagers jump in unison. The violent shaking of the handle kept going, dropping the horror is was holding earlier.

"Can someone open the door, I think it's struggling." Miseo asked, and one of the ugly androids near the door opened it and revealed....two more ugly androids.

"Hey!" Chenle whined.

"I said, Beomgyu and Hueningkai form!" Doctor ordered, and the two androids walked into the room and started to change shape. Soon, they looked like regular humans.
