"we're gonna did. there is no way we are going to make it out of here alive." i say, sitting up against the wall. the boy who sits next to me turns his head to look into my eyes.

"we're not going to die. we'll be okay-"

"mingrui, face it! we're stuck in a small bathroom with food that might last us two weeks at the most! and by that time we would have already been eaten alive by them!" i yell, tangling fingers in my hair, leaning over and looking at the ground.

"we're safe, they're not-"

"even so, i'm not going to use the bathroom with you in here! that's weird-!"

"i never said you did!" mingrui yells back for the first time, breaking his "calm" front to this. i could tell i was stressing him out and i felt a little bad... but i'm just scared. i'm scared out of my mind. "look... i understand you are scared, but we'll be fine. we'll do what we have to do to stay alive and then everything will be okay."

"mingrui, i feel like you forget we are thirteen years old. i-i don't know a thing about being on my own and worse, i don't know how to protect myself at all, so it's not like we can escape." i inform him, looking back up at him. he looks away, sighing.

"i mean... it's worth a shot."

"gou, have you gone absolutely insane?! we can't do that! i swear, you're going crazier than me! both of us can't possibly safely escape-"

"i know." after he says this, i look at him with a confused expression, and his eyes meet with mine again. "that's why only one of us will have to."

"gougou... what are you implying?" i question, my heart rate beginning to pick up. he... he didn't mean he would put himself at risk... did he? he's not going to do anything like that... is he?

"i have a plan." he folds his hand and exhaling with too much of a casual expression on his face. is he not completely freaked out by all of this or something, or has he really gone crazy? "the trap door above us. it leads to the roof. there's nothing on the roof, and those bridges between the building we made up are still up there. hopefully they are sturdy, because your going to cross them."

"that seems like an idea that would come out of the mouth of a psychopath, but continue."

"we can take the latter at the last building down to ground level. after that-" he cuts himself off, just closing his mouth and looking away from me, as if it wasn't something i wouldn't want to hear.

"after that..?" i question. he says quiet, still avoiding eye contact with me. "mingrui..? mingrui, what's after that?" i ask him, placing my hand on his arm, which is rested on his knee. "you're... you're not planning on covering for me... are you?" he opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. "are you?" my voice becomes more serious, and slightly angry.

"y/n... i..."

"mingrui, you're not covering for me! that's crazy! you're crazy!" my eyes almost begin to feel teary as i continue to yell at him. "why would you ever think about covering for me! if you do that you'll die! what on earth are you thinking, you idiot!" my tears start to come out of my eyes, i and my body shakes every few seconds as i cry into my hands.
