ATEEZ social experiment

Part 10

                           Silently Waiting

Together, we spent half that night on the bathroom floor. I don't remember it happening but in sometime of us being here the lights got turned off.
"Do you want to try getting up and into bed?" Seonghwa's deep voice cuts smoothly through the silence.
"Yeah.." I say as I sadly pull myself from his side and begin to stretch. He climbs to his feet raises his arms over his head lets out a beautiful growl.
"Here," he gives me a hand and pulls me to my feet. Still holding onto my hand I follow him into our room with a passed out San invading my side. lovely.
"You take the bed I can sleep in the chair," he smiles to me and as much as I want to fight back I am so exhausted. I go crawl into the warm bed and almost immediately fall into sleep.
Ugh. I begin to toss and turn. Im so tired but I cannot stay asleep. I flip over to face San's side and something catches my eye.
I turn my head to the foot of my bed and my eyes widen at a figure standing over us motionless. I quickly look to the chair and see Seonghwa asleep.
"San..." I whisper, "San.." I nudge him harder, "San!" I scream stardling the boys and causing the figure to run to the door.
San shoots up not knowing what's happening and he sudden notices the person who bolted from the room. Him and Seonghwa sprint out. I don't move a muscle until the two come back.
"What the actual hell just happened," I say to them as the each sit on the edge of the bed.
"Whatever, whoever, it was disappeared," San gives the bad news.
"I don't like this one bit," I pull my knees to my chest.
"What are they planning." Seonghwa adds.
"We need to find a way out," San says quickly standing.
"No sh*t," Seonghwa snaps at him quickly shutting him down.
We all sit trying to think of what just happened. How there was someone here and so easily left while we stay trapped.
"There was a freaking person in here," i still can't wrap my head around it.
"We should try to get some sleep we can talk in the morning," the blonde male stands causing the other to follow.
"How can i sleep after that?" i say under my breath as they get into bed on either side of me.
I stair at every corner of the room paranoid about what is hiding from us. People could be all around us just watching, waiting, silently. Somewhere in these walls is a way free and they are messing with us. Easily they could've just killed us. How can someone see all this happen and still be called human.
"Hey," a low whisper brings me back to reality, "it's okay, we are okay." Seonghwas arms wrap around me and pull me close. I didn't even realize i was shaking until i was against his body.
"Thank you," i bury my head in his chest and squeeze my eyes shut. It's okay now.

The next day we pondered about the man in our room and how he got there.
"We aren't safe anywhere," i point out the obvious.
"They must have some reason for that. Did you see how frantic he got when she screamed?" San says leaning across the table.
"Remember that video? At the end it said 'Social Experiment', my guess is everything is a test and we are the guinea pigs. They want to see how we react," Seonghwa adds in.
"Like with the box of food and water they wanted to see what we did," i lean back in my chair and sigh, "does this mean more and more things will happen to us."
"I'm guessing. And odds are they will just get worse and worse." we sit silently and let that truth sink in.
"What i've learned from here now is things can only get worse," I say not knowing how quick things are going to get much worse.
     Over the past week strange things have been happen. The water randomly turns on, every light will flash, and doors have been getting stuck. We have just brushed it off not everything is perfect.
    

     Seonghwa made us a nice lunch and after we all went our separate ways. I went to do yoga in the atrium, San is at the table proof reading my book, and Seonghwa went to take a shower.
     I lay back on my mat and stare at the UV illuminated ceiling. I take in warmth missing the sun. Heat, it's getting warmer.
     Wiping the sweat from dripping in my eyes I notice the lights burning brighter onto me. Taking a drink from my bottle I notice water coming from the bathroom door.
     I slowly stand and I feel the heat taking a toll on my weak body. I reach for the handle but it's not opening. I try again, and again and again... nothing is working.
     Quickly I move to the door into the kitchen. Again, it's not opening.
     "San!" I yell banging on the window trying to get the boys attention. He turns and flips the hood off his hoodie revealing a flush face and red nose. Is he cold?
     "Bathroom!" I yell again and point towards our room and he just looks at me confused. I bang harder and eventually get stands and moves in front of me at the door
     His face turns frantic as he has the same troubles as me. I fog up the window and write 'mars bathroom'. His eyes widen and he runs to the bedroom door. Unable to see any further into the room I slowly slide onto the floor as the temperature continues to rise.
     I slip my tank top off and wipe my face with it, drenching it.
     Its so hot.. I cant think straight.
     "BANG BANG!" startled I flip around and see a blue lipped San sadly looking down on me. He couldn't make it to him.
     If I'm cooking alive and San is freezing to death does that mean Seonghwa is drowning? I push the awful true thought through my head. I have to help him.
     I try to pull myself up and nearly blackout doing so. My pounds with every step causing my vising to blur. After stumbling into a tree I make it to the other door and fall to the ground. The bedroom is filling with water coming from the bathroom door.
     Seonghwa.
     I look back across the room and see a shaking ball pressed against the glass.
     San.
     I wipe one more pool of sweat off my face before the heat finally shuts me down.
