ATEEZ social experiment

Part 3

The Video

Drowning in the darkness. I haven't a clue if my eyes are open or closed it is all the same. Blood rushing through my ears is the only sound, the sound that will drive me mad. Is this what they want? For us to go insane, to drive us to our breaking point? Silence is so painful.

Hunger and thirst bite deep into my core. Surely i have been here longer than a day, maybe two. I curl into a ball in one of the corners of the darkness. Whats going to happen to me.

I may not have gotten to know those two guys well but it was nice having them so i wasn't alone. I hope they are okay.

Suddenly dull red light engulfs the room giving off an eerie feeling. I swiftly get to my feet and prepare myself for the worst.

The most god awful high pitched squeal fills the room. I fall to the ground holding my ears. It bounces off the walls rattling my skull. Tears fill my eyes as the sound continues seemingly never ending.

I scream against the pain my body and mind are in, challenging the pitch. It's all i can do. I feel as though my brain is going to explode. Going from pure silence to this hell is throwing my body into full chaos.

Through my soggy eyes i see the walls in front of me open. An extra round of sound slams into me as i see two bodies curled up on either side suffering just as I.

They're alive.

The sound soon ends but the ringing still lingers scratching at the inside of my skull. Once my vision steadies I see San out cold and Seonghwa holding himself up on the wall.
     Somehow a smile spreads across my face. I'm not alone anymore. Quickly my smile fades as my bodies pain returns. I hardly ever miss a meal and going two plus days is impossible.
     I begin to dry heave as i try to get up. I feel a hand on my back trying to calm me. Once i compose myself i look at the sympathetic Seonghwa looking down at me. How can he be so okay.
     "It is going to be okay, we can get through this," he attempts to smile but i can see all the pain in his eyes.
"How are you so sure. Is he going to be okay?" i point over at San. "How is any of this okay," i say harshly fighting back a breakdown.
"I'm sorry," he says taken aback by my words.
"I just want to go home..." i grab onto Seonghwa as my mind finally breaks, "I miss my family, my home, my friends... why did i ever leave!" i cry into his shoulder.
"We can fight we can make it out," Seonghwa says comforting but i shake my head.
This is what they want. It only took two days and they have already broken me.

     After some time San gains conscientiousness and we all lean together up on the wall. We sit in silence each filled with seemingly endless pain.
     Never once did i think that thirty deprivation with complete strangers would be my end.
     The dull red lights around us begin to go out. Too exhausted none of us react we just let it happen. The second the go out i fall asleep leaning on to the guys.

     "Hana Seonghwa wake up," San lightly shakes me awake, "look," he points at the far wall.
     A five by five wall square of the wall lights up. What looks like badly shot home videos begin to play. It's a party of some sort. Bright colorful lights that burn my eyes, upbeat music. Mystery drinks are being passed around.
     "What the heck," Seonghwa stands and moves closer. The shaky video goes over a crowd and settles on a group of people. 
     "oh my god," i gasp, "that's us."
     The three of us dancing, drinking together. That girl in the video wasn't me. I'm not the party girl who gets drunk and dances with random guys.
     "I am so sorry," Seonghwa quickly says to me as in the video he gets a little too comfortable with me. My face begins to flush.
     "It's okay, that's not me either i'm not like that," i whisper my eyes still glued to the screen.
     "Is that Minji?" San gets close to the screen. I sit up and squint trying to make out the man sitting and watching in the back ground.
     "How do you know him?" I sternly reply. I know that is him i came with him and that's what he was wearing.
     "I know him also," Seonghwa adds. We all look at each other in confusion.
     We all snap back to attention as the screen changes. When the screen adjusts all you see is a hand holding a small zip lock baggy. The person moves it around revealing white pills and lettering on the bag.
     "Flunitrazepam?" I sound out the word.
     "An incapacitating drug," Seonghwa adds.
     "Wait, were we date raped and kidnapped?" San frantically asks.
     Back on the screen the person lowers there hand revealing three bodies tied up and lifeless on the ground.
     I cover my gaping mouth with my hands. They grab each one of us by the hair showing our faces to the camera.
     The screen quickly cuts off. Three words type out across it.
      "The Social Experiment."
     "Oh my god," San exclaims.
     My breathing begins to escalate this is reality. We are not in just some random room. We have been drugged, kidnapped, and now tortured. It's real. We are an experiment now. Nothing's more than just mere guinea pigs.
     "This is f*cked up," my anger pours into. "What kind of screwed up b*st*rd does experiments on people."
     "I don't know but i'm going to kill them." a dark side of Seonghwa raises.
     *click*
     We all quickly turn to the sudden sound. Tears fill my eyes at what i see and i know the others have the same reaction.
     Sitting in the center of the room, something that changes everything, food.
