there was not a single sound coming from the seven boys who were staring at the lifeless body on the floor in horror. in fear of their lives, they one after one began sobbing quietly. they had no escape from whoever it was that had just killed a man...

"i'll go check"
sejun stood up from the table, glancing around at the people in the room. they all had looks of concern on their faces. sejun received a "be careful" from seungsik before turning around a corner and disappearing from their sight.
sejun walked around the house, checking behind his back every few seconds. after clearing the first and second floor, the worry he had in his stomach began to grow bigger by the minute.
after walking up the last flight of stairs, he made his way through the hallway on the third floor. he checked every room carefully, bracing himself and preparing for the worst.
his heart began beating faster for every empty room he passed by. where was byungchan? was he hiding? was he outside? was he... dead?
it was with shaking hands sejun opened the last door in the hallway. he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down before pushing the door handle down and opening the door.
when he heard nothing, he opened his tightly closed eyes a little to get a glimpse inside the room. and to his surprise, he found byungchan.
the boy wasn't hiding, nor was he dead. he had simply been asleep, and was now rubbing his eyes while looking at sejun with a confused expression.
"oh, junie, good morning. you won't believe the dream i had! we were all getting killed by some psycho on this random island" byungchan chuckled dryly, stretching his body while speaking.
"uhm, this isn't a dream" sejun spoke, giving the younger a slight frown. byungchan's calm face quickly twisted into one of horror. "it's... true?" he whispered, only receiving a nod from the older.
"we are having a meeting in the kitchen right now. everyone is worried about you since you didn't show up" sejun changed the subject. "a meeting? why didn't you tell me?" byungchan got up from the couch he had been asleep on.
"well, seungwoo did yell at us all to come downstairs. but i guess you were asleep" sejun cracked a smile for the first time in what felt like forever. byungchan returned a grin. "yeah, i guess"
the two made their way downstairs after chatting for a little while. the other members were glaring at then when they got back.
"what took you so long?" subin whined. it looked like he had been asleep. "sorry, i had trouble finding him" what sejun said was not particularly a lie, but it also was not completely true, considering that they just sat and talked for maybe twenty minutes.
"trouble finding him my ass, we have heard you laughing every now and then" chan said, rolling his eyes. sejun lowered his head in embarrassment.
"is it you two?" seungwoo finally spoke up. it caught everyone by surprise. "what?" byungchan asked, not wanting to believe what the oldest was saying.
