> lucas and sicheng were missing from the apartment, and jungwoo felt like he knew something about it.

the last time they were seen was over the weekend. but where were they? jungwoo held his head in his hands and pulled at his hair. it was a big house and there were lots of people, jungwoo remembered. was it a party? whose party?

there were drinks, but he didn't think lucas or sicheng had any. jungwoo had to drive his housemates home because they were drunk—but were lucas and sicheng even in the car?

jungwoo allowed his eyes to close for a moment after seeing the clock on his desk: 4AM. there was not an ounce of fatigue that he could feel in his body at the sudden news that two of his friends were nowhere to be seen. he couldn't sleep knowing that there was vital information in his head—he was sure of it and would do anything to just remember. so he kept thinking,

there was a singer present, but it wasn't dejun or ten. he kept seeing his face, but didn't know his name—no, he had to, because everyone kept repeating it.

was the party for that singer?

questions swirled his mind as he sat there silently to await any kind of clue that would help him figure out what happened. his breathing was shallowed and his arms felt weak from hunger and fatigue. yet, he couldn't bring himself to leave the room, let alone move.

eventually, his body gave out on him. before he even realized it, he was falling into a deep sleep.

hendery sat across from him during breakfast that morning, a concerned glint in his eyes. "are you okay? you look like you haven't slept..."

"i'm fine," jungwoo muttered, picking at the eggs with his chopsticks. he could hear someone else approaching the table. lifting his head slightly, he expected to see dejun but was met with a different roommate—one with a soft smile and eyes, dark hair freshly cut above the brows and shiny piercings on the left ear that caught his attention.

"t-ten!?" jungwoo stood abruptly, almost knocking back his chair. "you're back?"

ten laughed as he grabbed an apple slice from one of the plates. "yeah, did you miss me?"

"dude, the last time we saw you, you were blonde," hendery said. "how've you been?"

ten shrugged. "the usual... singing and dancing, you know."

"wow... can't wait 'til you're famous one day!"

"oh, stop..." he glanced at jungwoo as he grabbed another slice. "hey, you okay? jungwoo?"
