Hana's POV

I see my friends outside the headquarters with troubled faces as they try to get inside. I notice there are guards blocking their way at the entrance. I sneak up behind them and knock them both down until they are unconscious. I notice my friends' jaws drop when I do this. I open the door with the keycard and let them inside. More gunshots are fired.

"What is happening out there?" I question, worriedly.

"How did you get out of your room?" Yuta asks.

"The same way I knocked out these guards," I answered.

"Apparently, someone broke into the base," Taeyong informs me. "They're a threat and they killed four of our guards already," My eyes grow wide.

"Did anyone else get hurt?" I question.

"We're fine," Haechan says. "I don't know if the person breaking in harmed anyone else inside."

"We came here to check on you," Jaehyun says sweetly, looking at him reminds me of what happened earlier. I try to block the thought out of my brain.

"You're obviously fine," Johnny points at the two guards lying on the ground. "I forgot you're like superhuman."

"Yeah well, SM usually doesn't let me use my powers or fight. It's been a long time since I did that," I say excitedly.

"Wow, Hana's a trouble maker," Jungwoo teases.

"Why are you out of your room though? It is safer if you just stayed there," Doyoung tells me.

"I was curious as to what was happening," I say. "I'm done being locked up."

"It's the middle of the night. The whole town is probably up right now worrying about this intruder," Taeil says.

"The intruder looks like a halfie," I reveal.

"A halfie?" Mark asks. I nod and then remember that the only halfies I know are Felix, Wonpil, Yeji, and... Hyunjin. My eyes grow wide and I look at the door.

"Oh no... Hana, what are you thinking?" Johnny asks and I sigh.

"What if..," I stop talking, realizing I sound dumb for getting my hopes up again. Hyunjin? Did they get my balloon? Is it them?

"What if what?" Jaehyun asks.

"No, it's dumb," I shake my head and then hear another gunshot and a loud groan. I look back at the door, hesitating on whether I should leave to check it out. "Did you guys hear that?" I ask.

"The gunshot?" Taeyong asks.

"Not just the gunshot," I say and then think to myself.

"Superhuman hearing," Yuta remembers and points to his ear.

"Hana!" I hear a voice calling my name and turn around.

"Did you guys hear someone calling me?" I ask. I look back at my friends and they all shake their heads.

"Hana, are you okay?" Jaehyun asks me. I hear the voice again.

"I have to go out there," I say and walk past my friends.

"Hana, are you crazy?" Taeil asks.

"If you go out there, SM will keep you locked in your room for a whole year," Taeyong warns. I sigh and look out the glass door.

"If that person is a halfie, I need to help them," I say and then speed off towards the chaos.

I see a group of guards in full suits of armor, crowding around something. I try to see but am too short. I look over and see a tree nearby and begin to climb it. Once I make it to the top, I notice the guards' flashlights are shining on someone wearing a black hoodie. I can't see their face. I listen closely.
