Hidden power

Chapter 4

Once he got into the cell, Upa looked around, hoping that you would be there after your sudden disappearance. He saw you leaning against the wall with your earbuds in 'crap. How do I get him to pay attention?' he thought to himself. He looked to Liang who was doing head-stand push-ups. Upa causally walked by him and kicked his hand slightly. He fell to the ground and the movement got your attention. You took your earbuds out and walked to Liang. "Are you okay?" You asked, concerned. He nodded, glaring at Upa. You were about to put your earbuds back in, but before you could, you heard Upa start to speak. He spoke a bit louder than usual, "Hey Qi what kind of food do you like?" Qi raised an eyebrow, "Why do you want to know tha-" "answer the question, trash." Upa said in a hushed voice. "Sweet and sour pork?" Qi said uncertainly. "I like anman" That's all Upa said before he walked away. Qi mumbled about him being a 'weird little child'. 'Anman, huh' you thought back to when you didn't answer his questions. You felt bad so you guessed you could try and make some. You pulled out your phone and texted Samon, requesting access to the kitchen. He approved it and you smiled, though he did seem a bit enthusiastic about it. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. You turned to see a boar-like guard carrying something. "Is (y/n) here?" You raised your hand. He grunted and unlocked the cell, tossing in your bed. You thanked him and looked around, wandering where to put it. The other beds were spaced out, allowing enough room for only 3 beds. Everyone else was distracted and didn't notice your predicament. You didn't want to bother anyone and you didn't want to move anyone else's stuff. You sat there arguing with yourself for a second before forcing yourself to go ask Liang. You waited until he was finished with his set of exercises. "Excuse me, Liang?" He looked at you, "Yes" "Where should I put my bed?" you asked sheepishly. He looked around, "Scoot my bed over and put it there." You thanked him and walked off. You guessed his bed was the one with a pair of his clothes tossed on it. It was at the end so it was easy to push it over and fit yours in between his and the next bed. You picked out a pair of pajamas and looked behind you to make sure that no one was looking. There was really no place to hide to change, so you just went to the corner farthest away from everyone. You glanced behind you one last time before quickly taking off your over-sized hoodie. You took off your too-big jumpsuit and slipped into your pg.'s. You jumped back into your hoodie and walked to your bed to look on your phone. As it got closer to bed time, everyone made their way to their beds. Qi was at the end opposite to Liang's. Upa's bed was on the right of yours, and Liang's was on the left. Though it was a rather warm night, the cell was well air-conditioned, so you didn't have any trouble with that. A guard suddenly yelled, "LIGHTS OUT" You blinked as your eyes adjusted to the sudden darkness. The rest were in their beds, silent. You tried to avoid it, but your thoughts inevitably went back to your confrontation with Upa. You then remembered your anman plans. 'Right' you thought. You pulled out your phone, going under the covers so the light doesn't disturb anyone. You unlock it, going straight for the google app. You quickly typed in 'anman recipes' After a bit of looking, you had decided on one that had quite a few good reviews and a rather in depth set of instructions. 'perfect' you smiled triumphantly to yourself as you made your decision. You looked at the time 9:48. You sighed as you realized that you had no time to go on the internet and look at memes. 'maybe tomorrow' you thought as you turned off your phone and quietly plugged it in. You fell asleep quickly.

(timeskip till the morning)

A sudden banging startled you out of your sleep. You practically fell out of bed, taking the covers with you. You saw Samon at the door, laughing. You flicked your hair out of your face, glaring saltily at him. He rolled his eyes back before speaking, "Roll call." He pulled out a clipboard. He called out everyone's name, nodding to himself afterword. "Training starts in 20 minutes." With that, he walked off. Everyone started getting ready, including you. Only, you couldn't quite get dressed as you were currently in a room full of guys. So instead, you procrastinated, brushing your hair and cleaning your face. "You aren't going to get dressed?" Liang said, already in ready. "U-uuh yes I am" "You better hurry up, it's almost time." he said and then went about gathering up the clothes he had taken off. You picked out your usual over-sized jumpsuit. You walked to the corner and looked behind you quickly. Last night it had been easy as everyone was distracted. Today, however, they were waiting on you. You quickly took your hoodie off along with the shirt underneath. You slipped your jumper on, followed by said hoodie. You hid your face as you slid the mask off of your face slightly to take the two pills. Pulling the mask back on, you quickly put on your shoes before walking to the door. Samon opened it a few minutes later. He took the others to the training grounds as you parted from the group. You made your way to the kitchen.

(timeskip to a few hours later)

Long story short, it took a few tries, but you finally made some good ones. Even Shiro approved of them with a thumbs-up. You smiled as you carefully placed the still warm anman into a box. You didn't know what kind of drink to bring with it, so you asked Shiro, who promptly handed you a thermos of (insert whatever you drink with anman because idk what that would be). You thanked him and started off towards the training grounds. You peeked your head out of the door leading to where everyone was. You saw Upa meditating. Though you didn't want to disturb him but you didn't want the anman to get cold or the (drink thingy) to get warm, so you made your way to him shyly. Resisting the urge to pull at your hoodie sleeves, you took a deep breath before putting the box and thermos behind your back and tapping on his shoulder.
