"You're back." Taeyong coldly said.

An exhausted Melanie stumbled in, her hair falling out of her bun and clothes torn. Both hands, her neck, cheek, legs, and arms were in some way tightly wrapped with blood stained bandages.

"Taeyong there's-"

"You know the punishment for the time break. Mark, take her to the solidarity rooms. And no helping her." Taeyong said, turning around and storming off.

Mark gulped, looking terrified at Melanie's appearance. He fumbled, placing a blind-fold over her eyes before leading her to the cells.

"Melanie what happened?" Mark whispered.

"They're coming-" Melanie said before passing out and falling down.

"Melanie!" Mark said, shocked as he hastily scooped Melanie up before she hit the ground.

He slowly dragged Melanie down to the solidarity confindment rooms. He couldn't carry her since she was the same height as him, so he resorted to throwing her arm around his shoulders and neck.

He unlocked the room and stepped inside, laying Melanie down on the bed. As he stood back, he noticed a smashed piece of electronics attached to her bra strap. Curious, he reached over and pulled the device off.

"This is Melanie's tracker, why is it shot?" Mark muttered. He sighed, turning around and exiting the room. He locked the door behind before making his way to the surveillance room.

"Hey Mark what brings you here."  Jisung asked, turning around on his spiny chair.

"Hey Jisung, can you please look into this?" Mark said handing over the tracker.

"This is Melanie's tracker?" Jisung asked, confused.

"Yeah it was on her, but weirdly it was shot." Mark said.

"I'll take a look at it."

A few rooms away, Jaehyun sat nervously around a table with Johnny, Doyoung, and Taeyong. The four were the essential founders of NCT.

"Taeyong, the younger members told me she was on the verge of passing out. We should really send someone in there." Doyoung said.

"She'll be fine." Taeyong said coldly.

"Taeyong what if she ends up dead! We can't lose another m-"

"Shut up." Taeyong furiously said, cutting Johnny off.

"Why is it such a problem?" Jaehyun asked. "She could be dead for all we know. Just let someone go in and check up on her."

"Because she could worm her way out of how long her punishment is. Jaehyun you were the one so deadset on her not joining and I remember you saying something about her being manipulative." Taeyong retorted back.

"We won't shorten her punishment, but just let someone go in there." Johnny said.

Taeyong sat in silence for a few minutes, milling over the options.

"Fine, Jaehyun." Taeyong finally spoke before standing up.

"What?" Jaehyun said, startled.

"Prove to me that your past with Melanie isn't clouding your judgement anymore and that are loyal to NCT." Taeyong said, narrowing his eyes at Jaehyun. "You're dismissed."

Jaehyun nodded, quickly disappearing out of the room and towards Melanie's room. As he rushed towards her bedroom, he spotted an empty box outside of the gamer room. He grabbed it, and soon reached her bedroom. He threw some clean clothes and secretly, some deodarant, menstrual products and a plastic bag.
