Yixing met Experiment 7 only once. His name was Luhan, and he could move objects with his mind. He was nice enough, but from what Yixing gathered, he was unstable. If he was angry, sad or excited, his powers would get the best of him. Luhan was the second experiment to go into permanent containment.

The first experiment, only known to Junmyeon, Baekhyun and Yixing as Experiment 00, was a rumor to the others. Experiment 00 was supposedly even more unstable than Luhan, contained below the main facilities in what was known as the laboratories. After creation, an able-bodied experiment never went back to the laboratories. But, Yixing was an exception. The nurses called Yixing their personal miracle. When they needed an extra hand, or if they decided to slack off, Yixing couldn’t refuse helping them. It was times like this that Yixing found himself exploring the areas off-limits to everyone else.

What Yixing blocked out of his mind was the numerous rooms that looked like prison cells. He never dared to peek inside, knowing exactly what would meet his eyes. No one would want to see people like themselves, rotting away because they were seen as “broken”.

The hallway of rooms ended with a single door, looking as if it was reinforced multiple times. The small window in the center of the metal door was the only one Yixing was willing to glance in, because he wasn’t afraid of what looked back at him. Experiment 00 was the most handsome man Yixing had seen. He could only imagine the voice he had, never being able to hear him through the thick walls and door. All they could was smile at each other through that tiny pane of glass. Yixing utterly adored that gummy smile, and he never saw how such a gorgeous man could hold unstable powers.
