someone's out to murder you.

with these words repeating itself, at first a soft whisper, to a loud bellow in song hyeongjun's head, he woke up with a start, beads of sweat dotting his temples and brows.

he shook in fright, flinching at the sound of his bed sheets ruffling under his strained movement.

he calmed his racing heart down, stood up, and started pacing back and forth around his rank.

hyeongjun hadn't known what to do.

after running home today, he ran straight up into his room, turning into a huge sobbing mess on his bed.

so many of his hyungs and noonas called him, and he could swear he had more than thirty missed calls and twenty texts from them.

but he was too afraid of replying to his hyungs, and the only message he could leave yujin and ga hyeon noona was i'm fine, please leave me alone for a while.

a chill ran down his spine, and hyeongjun pressed a palm to his cheek, feeling that it was icy cold, and there were still faint tear tracks on his cheek.

it can't be hyunbin, wonjin, jungmo or minhee hyung, right? ive grown up with them all my life, and we've been best friends for a long time, hyeongjun thought to himself, clenching and unclenching his fists in an attempt to calm himself down.

but what if. . .

before he could let that horrifying, seed of thought plant itself in his head and let it grow its roots, he immediately said, "it's impossible."

"it can't be them. that's just. . .ridiculous!" hyeongjun said out loud, even snickering nervously at the thought of it.

but.

that word lingered in his head, refusing to let go off the tiny little seed of suspicion that managed to creep in hyeongjun's head.

he knew that wonyoung would never, ever, lie about something so serious, something that concerned his whole life.

just at that moment, hyeongjun's cracked phone, which, hyeongjun realised was still working, began ringing loudly, startling the crap out of the distressed boy.

hyeongjun thought it would be his parents calling to check on him from overseas, for a business trip. however, since when did his parents call him this late in night?

swallowing his saliva nervously, hyeongjun approached the vibrating cell phone, and his heart beat immediately ratcheted up a notch when he saw that the id caller was stated as unknown.

"h―hello?" hyeongjun stuttered nervously.

a female voice greeted him back.

wonyoung.

"listen to me, hyeongjun ah," she began talking without hesitation, and hyeongjun decided to not interrupt her unlike the last time.

"you're in danger now, and someone's out to kill you!"

"w―who?" hyeongjun mumbled faintly, feeling weak with an oncoming migraine.

wonyoung gulped. "that's the thing, i don't know who it is. all i heard from them was that someone, someone from school was out to kill you!"

"and right now, i'm being kidnapped by them because i overheard their conversation a―"

suddenly, hyeongjun heard that same leery song like today, "one berry in a bush, oh how beautifully green and yellow but rotten! one berry in a―"

"they're back, hyeongjun ah!" wonyoung's voice turned high pitched, as the phone was snatched from her and the line went dead.

hyeongjun was helpless. again.

he hugged my knees to himself, and once the first tear broke free, the rest streaked down his cheeks like a broken dam.

just like that, hyeongjun cried himself back to sleep.

the next day in school, hyeongjun caught minhee staring at him like a hawk, and dark chills ran down his spine.

at the same time, jungmo and hyunbin were onto him the moment the bell rang for lunch, bombarding him with questions about yesterday.

hyeongjun caught both wonjin and minhee staring openly at him again, and something in him told him to stay away from all his hyungs.
