the shrill, repeated beeping sound blasted through their ears as they stood there in shock, not fully being able to process what was going on.

nayeon was the first to react.

"guys, its a fire alarm we've got to go." she informed, strangely calm.

the two boys (chanhee and changmin) complied and headed to the door but hyunjin lay still, frozen in his spot.

"hyunjin, let's go." chanhee voiced.
"no, i need to find her." hyunjin responded.

is he crazy? chanhee thought.

"we need to go." the alarm was still sounding, poking at chanhee with all its might. in all honesty, the boy felt as it got louder as time went on.

"attention all. there is a fire in the building. all staff and patients must comply to fire protocol #C." a woman through the speaker chided.

"hyunjin, LET'S GO." chanhee shouted, glass-like tears forming at the edge of his eyes.

he didn't have anything in commonn with hyunjin. and to be frank, chanhee found him quite annoying at times. but still, he persisted. he would not let anyone die. not again.

still, hyunjin was frozen in his spot.

does he have a death wish?

feeling so genuinely overwhelmed and sad, chanhee finally let the tears spill out of his eyes. his body was here, but his mind somewhere else. replaying images he did not want to remember. it was too similar.

crouched on the ground, chanhee weeped one last time, "hyunjin, please. i can't leave you here."

and again, hyunjin remained.

having enough of it, nayeon pulled chanhee up from the ground and ran. she had already told changmin to flee, which he had done, so only chanhee and hyunjin were left.

nayeon knew that hyunjin was stubborn and that he wouldn't move. yet she also knew that he was resourceful. he would find a way out. she knew it. so she focussed on chanhee.

the two were now running down the hallways to 'safety.' or to what they thought was safety. but they were going out nonetheless.

finally seeing the exit, nayeon sprinted forwards, pulling chanhee with her.

looking back one last time, nayeon tried her best to contain her own tears as she saw the asylum slowly go up in flames. jihyun and hyunjin with it.
