"Did you hear that?" Vernon sat up, feeling shivers down his spine. "Hear what?" Seungkwan huddled closer to Vernon, shocked. Shaking your head, you sighed, "I don't want to know anymore, I'd rather we just stay here. I'm.. Done with finding out what's going on." The four of you decided to crawl into the bed and attempt to get some rest. However, you couldn't sleep. The sun was setting outside, but the four of you stayed awake until the sky turned black.

"I'm scared, guys. I can't sleep." Wonwoo shuddered, cuddling closer to you. "It'll be okay, Wonwoo. We're all here for each other." You patted his head, and sighed. "To be honest, I think we should really be looking for a way to get out." Seungkwan stood up. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to be a sitting duck." Vernon flung his arms around, trying to grab onto Seungkwan. "Hansol, come on. I'm tired of this. If I'm going to die, I'm going to die trying." You nodded, and stood up. "You guys can stay here, we'll go look. It'll be safer for you two."

"We.. We'll set a passcode." Vernon frowned. "Alright, when you hear us say Fronting, you'll know it's us." Seungkwan nodded, and left the room with you. "We'll stick together, I don't want you to get hurt." Seungkwan linked arms with you, and you smiled. "Glad to know I can always depends on you, Seungkwannie." "It's been a long time since you called me by that name, hasn't it?" He smiled at you, tugging you forward. "Well, we barely spent much time with each other. I spent a lot more time with Chan, Jihoon, Mingyu and Wonwoo."

You came across Joshua, who was reading a book. He was lying down on a deck chair in the rooftop garden, as if nothing had happened. "Hey there, how are you guys doing?" Joshua smiled. "Glad to see you're still alive, Joshua hyung." Seungkwan forced a smile, and you nudged him. "I found a stash of snacks. If you want a pack, take some." He tossed a packet of biscuits over, and you caught them. "Thanks, Josh." You held up the packet, and Seungkwan glared at you. He pulled you aside, hissing. "What if those things are poisoned by him?"

"It's better than starving to death."

Seungkwan had dragged you to the first floor, insisting that was the best place to find an escape route. Maybe he just wanted to get away from Joshua. "I wonder where all the staff went to, really." Seungkwan scrunched up his face, and you nodded. "How'd they get out here and not get stuck with us?" "Who knows? This was clearly planned for a long time." He sniffed the air, and his eyes widened. "Do you smell that? Blood." You inhaled deeply, and groaned. "I don't want to look, Seungkwan." He shook his head. "If we're gonna figure it out, we have to go see." Seungkwan pulled you towards the source of the smell, opening a door that lead outside.

"It's Seungcheol hyung, get back in." Seungkwan hissed, shoving you back in the hotel. You stumbled back inside, but managed to catch your footing. Both you and Seungkwan climbed up the second floor to get a better look at what Seungcheol was doing. Luckily for you, the staircase was right next to the door you exited from earlier, and the second floor had glass windows. Peeking over the edge of the window, you saw Seungcheol kneeling down. His palms were pressed to the floor, and his sobs could be heard through the glass.

Seungkwan was right next to you, and peeked over the edge of the window as well. "What is he doing?" He whispered, and you shrugged. "I don't know, we have to wait for him to go." You whispered back. At that moment, Seungcheol let out a wild scream. You threw yourself away from the window, afraid he'd spotted you. Seungkwan had done the same, and you cringed. Seungcheol's screams and sobs sounded like a wild animal's, and Seungkwan covered his ears.

"I'll get my revenge, I swear!" You didn't waste any time in climbing up the stairs, Seungkwan scrambling behind you. You definitely did not want to get caught by Seungcheol.

Having managed to hide, you and Seungkwan were out of breath. Seungkwan, however, refused to give up, and insisted on seeing the body. He dragged you down by a different way, carefully avoiding Seungcheol, and eventually returned back to the site of death. Seungkwan walked over to the body, and his eyes widened. Lying face up, the body was easily recognisable. It was free from flaws, except for the pool of blood that seeped out from the back of the body. You remembered what his last words to you were.

"I'm done. Done with this. I'm out, and I'm sorry."

Victim 7: Kim Mingyu

Flashback

"Your brother's told us how good you are, and even showed us a few tapes of you playing." The bully sniggered. "You're good at rugby, so why won't you join the team?" The victim shook their head, shuddering. "I refuse. I'm.. not going to hurt someone again. Not after what I did to that kid last year." The bully snorted, and pushed the victim to the wall. "Pathetic, really. Excuses. Boys, go ahead." No one came to the aid of the victim, despite their cries.

Never going to hurt someone again, you say?

[A/N: I know my friend was telling me not to kill Mingyu off, but it was needed. Sorry, fambam. :--(

What happened to Mingyu?
Who's next?
Who do you think is the mastermind behind the killings?
