Premonition | Stray Kids AU

Chapter 22.3: The Erlebnisse

Dean's POV

Cutting, drowning, electrocution, hanging, poisoning, starvation, suffocation

Different methods of suicide which I always think every night but after being with Team A, I became more motivated in my life, they are the reason why I'm happy right now. Hope it last for a long time tho. Being so happy right now is not the right term to describe how I feel for us winning the first mission as we step forward to the next one which is a competition with each other, only one will be chosen and we're all very competitive so this will be a tough one.

Drowned by my own thoughts, I didn't realized that it's already 11 pm. I'm thirsty so I walk through the kitchen, opened the fridge and drink some cold water. I opened the fridge and stand there for a while. It's cold here so maybe I'll just enjoy myself first then head back to my room and sleep later.

While chilling in front of the refrigerator I heard something from our kitchen. What is that? Obviously it's not a cat because we don't have that. I didn't take it seriously and continued to chill in front of the fridge like a fool.

Soon I heard the noises became louder and felt closer to me. I'm a bit frightened so I stood up and took a knife and closed the refrigerator even though it only serves as a light in this dark kitchen. The noise is getting louder so does my heart beat so I pretended that I'm not scared and spoke.

"Whoever you are, show yourself, I'm not afraid of you, do you want to steal? well, don't do it. Tell me what amount of money you want and I'll give it to you."

I am trembling in fear. The noise is getting louder and louder and I see that he is walking closer to me, he is a bit tall. He didn't stop so I just close my eyes and tried to stab him but it feels like stabbing in the air.

I was surprised when the light suddenly turned on and I heard a very loud laugh coming from the man in front of me.

"Hanz?!"

He just laughed, like he could just die any minute because of that. I waited for him to finish his laugh before I spoke.

"Are you making fun of me?"

"Nah. I was chillin' at the living room when I saw you in front of the refrigerator, you stayed there looking like a complete idiot. Who the fuck even do that? You can just turn on the ac in your room" then he crossess his arms.

We're sitting on the couch facing each other.

"By the way, congrats bro? May the best man win"

I didn't respond.

"What's your thoughts about the competion?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, if you have given a chance to help one person to survive. Is it me or Zian?"

"What kind of question is that? what do you mean?" I asked him

"Answer it first"

"Hmm lemme think. Zian" I replied

"Nah nah bro that's not the right answer. You should've replied like 'I just want to survive myself, nothing more nothing less' "

"Nevermind Hanz. I'm not that competitive just like you are, if I'm chosen that's good and if not, it's all still good. I'll just practice and give my best"

"What about the other's perspective tho? What if it will only cause more conflicts in the future and the competition given as the reason why the team broke?"

"What are you saying?" I asked and hugged him tightly. Wow never done this before and it feels great.

"Hey, get off of me" his voice doesn't sound irritated to me so I think he likes it but still in denial.

"Don't think about stupid things like that okay? let's go to bed, tomorrow will be a long day, again" he pulls away then I turn off the lights before I head out to my room.
