ATEEZ social experiment

Part 12

                         Is This Happening

Mingi POV

     "Ugh i hate school," I flop onto my bed. We just had our midterms of our spring semester.

     Time has flown by since the others got taken, I cant believe it has been five months already. I spend most of my time alone at home with my roommate. 

     As much as i want to say that i am okay i still miss her. Seeing her face everyday on the screen isn't enough to numb the pain and regret i feel for this happening to her.

     "Hey Mingi, Yeosang and Yunho are going out soon if you want to join us," I let out a long sigh and roll over facing my back to him.

     " Maybe next time," I softly say as i feel Hongjoong's eyes burning into the back of my head.

     "Are you seriously still upset about her?" he begins to get aggrivated. I sit up and face him.

     "Do you think i should just be okay with all this happening to my best friend."

     "I am your best friend. She is just some girl." he looks down at me with fire in his eyes. "My friends were taken too and you don't see me crying. It was hard losing them but we just need to live."

     "I just miss her."

     "It's been five months now the cops haven't found a single thing yet and they aren't going to, you know that. They wont find her. No one will." He hits me with the hard truth. I know they wont find her, she's far away from here and they covered their tracks perfectly.

     "She's smart. What if she escapes," I push back against him. We are on the same side so why am i fighting him.

     "Why can't you just understand she will never make it out just move on already!" he stares into me and i have nothing left to say to him. He quickly turns around and slams the door on his way out.

     Why am i such an idiot. Why did I have to destroy everything close to me. My friends are gone and the only ones i have left i push against even though we are in this all together.

     I turn back over towards the wall. Pulling out my phone and watch her. Her long beautiful hair glowing in the light and her gorgeous smile I have missed so much.

     Why did i ever agree to this. Why did we have to go to the bar that night.

Hana POV

Gripping tightly to Seonghwa's hand in fear of what is to come. Being stuck in pure darkness reminds me of months ago when we first came here.
I hold tighter in fear of being alone like i was then. Never again can i be alone, so helpless.
Slowly and faintly, a handful of emergency lights begin to click on giving us our senses back.
"They gave us emergency lights but no exit. Makes perfect sense," San throws his hand up to the white bulb in the corner of the room.
"What are we supposed to do now..." I say with a hint of fear too tired to hide it.
"Nothing." Surprised San and I turn to Seonghwa as he answers so pessimistic.
"What happened to your 'fight til i'm dead' attitude go?" San questions.
"For all we know this is just another stupid test. When the power was on there was nothing we could do so what should make me think now that we can get out," Seonghwa answers quickly shutting San up, "now i would like some sleep i nearly died today and i'm not in the best of moods."
     Seonghwa lets go of my hand and lays back down. San begins to get back in bed but i stay sitting up.
     "Are you not going to bed?" San whispers.
     "Like i can sleep after all of this," i harshly whisper back.
     "At least try. He was right we had a rough day and this is rest we desperately need." i take in his words and lay back into my pillow. He gets close to me and his skin slightly brushes mine.
"Good night San," I hold onto his arm onto comfort as I force myself into a light restless sleep.
Not too long after I am wake for good. I try my best to get out the bed without the others knowing but I fail with one of them.
"Couldn't sleep either," I say to San as he joins me at the chairs looking into the dimly lit atrium.
"I can't sleep with lights on," he pulls his feet up into the chair and stairs out the window.
"Same here," softly I agree. We sit silently watching nothing, waiting for nothing, hoping that something would happen but no idea what would.
"I just want to say that I'm sorry that all of that happened to you. I will admit guys are assholes, sometimes I am. I don't know we are like this," he looks down to his hands," There are good guys out there who won't dare hurt you. I'm one and that blonde mess over there too. Most of us hide. There is an image for what a guy is like and the bad boy is always fantasied so we get put down for being good. Either we all fake being tough or we keep to ourselves."
"I think if we weren't here we would be great friends," I smile at his caring words.
"Aren't we friends now?" he looks at me disappointed.
"No I hate you, of course we are," I toss a pillow at him and we laugh.
"Shut up! Please..." A shout comes from behind us. We freeze at Seonghwa's deep voice but then quietly laugh as we decide to move our party to the living room.
"Are you going to open it?" I laugh at San struggling at the door.
"I can't open it. The power is out nothings going to work," my smile falls as anxiety sets in. I turn and Seonghwa shot out of bed to the door. He bangs on the panel then into the door.
"Don't break it," I speak up and he shoots me a look.
"Well if I break the door we can get out." he goes back to hitting the panel.
"You if you break that it could become permanently locked," San adds in.
"So let's just bust it down," San nods at Seonghwa's proposal.
I still on the edge of the bed as the two endless slam themselves into the steel door. We all know they wont make it through.
My eyes are drawn towards the small iron side table. My feet move on there own as i reach it. Without a second thought I grip on to the top and hold it over my head and with all the strength I have I swing it into the wall. I won't be stuck, i can't be trapped again.
"Hana!" The boys yell to me but they are too late. Scattered glass rains down on me like a spring shower.
