"Come with me or die with your friends."

Zach's words echoed through her head. It's been two days since she practically moved into the boys' dorm, and she hadn't left it since.

Whenever the boys were out or going to practice, she would shut all doors and windows and stay in the extra bed she currently sleeps in.

Now that the extra bed had been mentioned, Haneul always wondered who slept there before her. Surely it couldn't have been just an extra bed, there must've been a story behind it.

To shake her mind away from Zach, she pulled out her phone and quickly looked up Stray Kids in Youtube; scrolling down until she found the thumbnail of their oldest MV, which was Hellevator.

She pressed on it and rotated her phone 'til it occupied the whole screen. Carefully, she examined each of the members' faces only to get distracted by Seungmin's voice.

"Oh dang. This boy's an angel." How ironic she thinks so, when they just met she thought of him as a devil.

Letting out an exaggerated gasp once Changbin started rapping, she shook her head again and focused on her main priority.

The screen suddenly showed a very unfamiliar face to Haneul, she quickly paused it examined the gray-haired artist on her screen.

She raised her brow and exited the full screen, only to scroll down to the comment section where she learned that their former member was named Woojin.

(He just had his first fanmeet again:))) uwu so proud =3=i miss him)

"Hmm. His voice sounds really great." She said, nodding her head to the beat.

"I wonder why he left though." She mummbled.

Out of curiosity, she searched him up again. There were a lot of videos regarding his departure from the boy group, and it seemed like a lot of people were affected and devastated because of it.

Unfortunately, the only response she got was that he had personal reasons and no one is allowed to know but the company and the boys.

Haneul pouted disappointedly, sighing as shd exited the app.

Her phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that she had recieved a message.

With bright and hopeful eyes, she pressed on it, thinking it was Seungmin. But her heart skipped a beat when she saw it was from Zach.

Haneul could feel her chest tighten as she nervously and hesitantly opened the text.

xxxx
Tonight 10pm
Bridge

She gulped, tightening her grip on the phone. "Curse you, Zach." She hissed with gritted teeth before letting out an frustrated scream, throwing her head into the pillow.

It was already 9:45pm and only the snoring of the members were heard, all of the lights turned off.

Haneul knew it was time. She slowly pulled the blanket from her body, crawling out of bed without much noise as possible.

Their room had one of the most nosiest doors in their dorm, so she had to be extremely slow and careful about it.

When she finally got out, she tiptoed her way down the hall and onto the door, where she hung her jacket and her shoes lais on the floor.

She put them on and slipped her phone into her pocket, putting on a hat and a mask before she opened the door's lock with a key and got out.
