As I walk into the cafe, a strong smell of coffee engulfs around me. My eyes landed on the table at the far end, where my best friends were sitting as usual. 

I smiled as I walked up to them but dropped when I realized what was happening. Mark was trying his best at pulling Bambam out of his chair because that is where normally I would sit. 

"These boys, I swear to god," I mumbled under my breath.

Bambam was making weird noises while trying to stay in the seat. People were looking from their seats, some completely annoyed, some confused and some silently laughing. I was staring at them waiting them to finish, while my presence was unknown to them. 

The others already recognized I was here. Jackson moved his bag of the seat next to him and patted the spot telling me to sit. 

I smiled thankfully at him and sat my eyes still fixed at those idiots pulling each other's hair. 

Mark was about to rip Bambam's shirt but was saved when Youngjae pulled Mark's waist to make him sit next to him. Jaebum sipped on his coffee looking at the scene. Them both finally recognized that I was here, and greeted me.

"So how's everyone," I asked while making myself comfortable on the seat. Some of them nodded, while some of them answered yes. Which was not the answer I was aiming for but whatever.

"Oh, look at the weather," Jaebum said looking outside. We all looked outside, to see purple sky. It was beautiful but it looked kind of weird. I narrowed by eyes slightly. This kind of sky was like impossible to happen in this country. I sighed getting the thought of my head before facing my friends.

"SOMEONE DIED!" yelled Jugyeom while staring wide-eyed at his phone screen. 

What the hell happened to him?

This made BamBam almost fall of his chair at his high-pitched scream, before acting normally when he caught costumers looking at him. He smiled at them uncomfortably, before glaring at Jugyeom.

"Wow. That is just so shocking," Jinyoung said sarcastically. I just chuckled. 

"Who died?" I ask, as Jugyeom looked at me. 

"You know Mr. Popants. He died...!".  

He gave his phone to Jackson when he asked for it, and looked at the screen. 

"Mr. Popants our most lovely teacher." Jackson made a face before continuing. "-was found dead in his car, which was parked on the side of the road, it didn't seem to look like a car accident. There was weird purple gooey substance around his car, some even on his hands. Scientists have taken a sample of the substance, to figure out what it is. We don't know who have done this either do we know what the substance may represent or be. Please, I recommend everyone to be safe and stay at home, since he is not the only one that have died this way, but around 6,000 have been found dead in this country considering it is the first day this happened. School would be stopped for now, and no work would be given for the sake of our staffs and teacher's health. Enjoy and stay safe," Jackson read off the high school message board. 

Everyone on the table shivered in fear, except me. 

This news was so fake. The media would always put random stuff on the internet and literally everyone would believe it. 

Normally, our school wouldn't decide to do a shut down unless someone is shot in our school, why would they, because they found some messed up slime around the person who has died. Like what the hell. 

They might have been playing with slime while driving but then parked the car to not crash and then found an insect in it and got a heart-attack. 

Yeah. See, I am so smart.

"Should we go home," Bambam said trying to sound brave but how he was fiddling with his fingers and looking outside nervously, I could tell he was scared.

For the sake of his and others health, I decided to agree.

We all went our own ways after greeting each other our goodbyes.

I was walking down the streets, when a few people went running past me. They looked slightly panicked and frightened. 

I looked behind me to see more people running, looking scared as well. Something purple was dripping out of their mouth. I looked at it in amazement.

"Damn...," I said looking at this scene. It felt like I was in a drama. So romantic. 

Shalalalalala-

Okay sorry. 

I moved aside making them run past me. No matter how cool that looked it was still disgusting. People love to scare people don't they. I laughed at the idiots, who failed to prank me. 

I heard sirens of an ambulance and a police car, so instead of running away I followed where it came from. I was about to turn the corner when I felt something grab my shoulders. By what it felt like, it was sharp. The thing turned me around. 

I was so ready to fight this person, but before my fist made it's face I heard a very recognizable feminine scream. I lowered my hand to see Lia, looking frightened. 

"yAH!" she screamed, making me make a questioning face. 

"Why are your nails so sharp?" I asked ignoring her whining. She looked at her nails before looking back at me.

"No. What are you doing here in this cruel world. Come on run," she rapped before dragging me with her. When we reached our house. [Author: Yes, you are living with ITZY]. Lia opened the door with the keys before dragging me in with her and locking the door right after. I turned around to see everyone panicking except Yeji. She was just sitting on the couch eating ships while watching a movie. Ryujin was busy putting up candles, which made me question her. Yuna was locking all the doors and windows, making sure twice if everything is locked. And Chaeryeong was setting up a tent in the middle which was big to fit us all in. 

My eyes met Yeji's. She patted beside her, making me follow her order. 

"Have they gone crazy," I said as we stared at Lia who was now bringing a bunch of snacks inside the tent. 

"They all have been since they heard the news from the message board," she said munching on her chips. I grabbed a few out of the packet and shoved it in my mouth looking at the others in amusement. 

"Today, I saw something weird"

"What?"

"Well, when I was returning from the meet-up, I saw a bunch of people with purple stuff coming out of their mouth"

Yeji made a face which said she doesn't believe me.

"Maybe you were hallucinating"

"I am pretty sure I wasn't but I sure did know that they failed to prank me"

I high-fived her, before grabbing more chips and munching on it. 

This was going to be fun.
