LEE MIN HYUNG’s Point of View

  I was startled when Manager-Nim also brought me in Dream’s dorm when we get back to Seoul and we rode our van.

  “Manager-Nim. I think I should go back to 127’s dorm.” I told Manager-Nim as we were unloading our baggage.

  “You need to stay with the Dream for a day. You still have task to do.” Manager-Nim answered which made me confused.

  “Task? Does it mean, our game isn’t over yet?” I asked him.

  Manager-Nim let out a sigh before answering my question.

  “Remember the cards? Didn’t Superior told you not to open it until he said so?” He asked me back. I nod as a response. “Well, this is the day when you can open and check what’s in it but you need to wait for Superior or mine's go signal.” He added.

  All I did was nod and didn’t even bother to talk again. Manager-Nim might scold me if I asked something, again.

  As soon as we finished unloading the baggage, I can’t help myself from checking if how Jen and Jaemin was doing.

  They were both wearing sunglasses. May be their eyes are swollen because of crying? I don’t know.

  “Let’s have our breakfast before you unpack your things.” Manager-Nim said as we get inside their dorm.

  We went to the kitchen silently and the foods were already prepared for us.

  “Who cooked all of these?” Renjun asked as he have his seat.

  “I called your Hyungs’ cook and let her do this.” Manager-Nim answered as soon as he took his seat and started to get some food.

  I also have my seat and still, monitoring Jeno and Jaemin. They weren’t seating beside each other anymore, and as soon as they took off their sunglasses, their eyes were red and swollen.

  I am very worried for these guys but I can’t do anything but just look at them and forget what had happened last night.

  “Mark, after having your breakfast, come with me and bring the card that was given to you.” Manager-Nim said in the middle of our meal.

  I just nodded as a response and he spoke again.

  “After Mark, next is Renjun, then Haechan, then Chenle, followed by Jisung, then Jeno and Jaemin’s going to be the last one.” Manager-Nim said.

  All of us just nodded as a response and we continued eating our food silently.

  When we finished our breakfast, everyone was helping in cleaning everything.

  “Jeno. Are you okay?” I asked Jeno as I was helping his carry the plates in to the sink.

  He just looked at me and let out a very weak smile. Jeno ignored my question and he started to was the dishes.

  I decided to go to Jaemin who was cleaning the dining table and asked him the same question.

  “Jaemin-ah. Are you okay?”

  Jaemin looked at me and smiled, just like Jeno.

  “I’m fine, Hyung. You don’t have to worry.” Poor Jaemin answered as he continues to wipe the table.
