“no, no, no, please.. please don’t do this.. please.. im begging you”

“sorry… but…this is the only  to stop your pranks”

“no,, no,, I,I promise. I do it again.. promise..”

“no. I won’t take any promises..”

“no,, please no..”

“don’t worry.. I’ll make this fast,, you won’t feel a thing”

“please… stop”

“bye. Sandeul.”

The next day.   

“goodmorning hyungs!!” baro greeted his hyungs as soon as he got out of the bedroom

“oh..hey.. goodmorning baro how’s your sleep?” jinyoung asked

“it was fine. i’ve never been able to sleep that good for so long”

“yep. And you should treasure that because our comeback this November is getting near. Im sure we’ll be a lot busier by then” shinwoo said

“c’mon hyung! Breakfast is ready… I think shinwoo hyung cooked good food today” channie said

“I always cook good food channie” shinwoo said

“I love shinwoo hyung’s cooking!.. haha” baro said

“well.. you love food itself.. regardless of who cooked it” jinyoung added

“hehe.. you know me so well hyung.. by the way.. where’s sandeul?” baro aksed

“huh? you share a room with him right?” channie asked

“well.. he didn’t come home last night” baro said.  Now where could he be? He thought.

“well we all got home by 12 right? There’s no way he could’ve gone out” channie said

“ you know him channie.. he goes out to buy snack before going to bed” said shinwoo

“oh. Yeah..right haha”

“well.. maybe he went out early? To buy more food?” jinyoung assumed

   where could he be? He shouldn’t be out this early….he’s not the type to go out early just to buy food.

“I’ll go out and look for him”

“but baro hyung… you’re not yet having your breakfast. Eat first hyung”

“channie.. im worried… he doesn’t go out as early as this just to buy food. Yes he goes out at night… but not this early”

“baro.. you’re over thinking.. calm down.. he might have gone somewhere and forgot to tell us”

“shinwoo hyung.. he’s not like that.. please.. just let me go out.”

“okay baro.. but be careful”

“okay hyung”

Baro went out to look for sandeul…he went to every food store he knows that sandeul might go to but he found nothing. No clues of sandeul’s whereabouts.

Where could he be? I just saw him last night leaving our bedroom. But he’s still in his sleepwear. There’s no way he could’ve gone out looking like that. but he’s no where in our bedroom. Not even inside the dorm. Aish.. jung hwan where the hell are you?

 He  looked for hours but still found nothing. He event went to an amusement park thinking that he might be there. He went to the studio. Still nothing. He went to the mall but still nothing.

Where the is he?!!  Baro’s getting mad by the minute. Sandeul doesn’t just disappear. Whenever he wants to go outside to do eat or whatever he wants to do, he tells baro where he’s going he even tries to take baro with him.

Just as he was to go out  for another round to look for sandeul, his phone rang

Caller id: duck

He answered the call

“finally! Jung hwan I’ve been looking for you!  Now tell me where are you? Me and hyung are…”

“nope.. this is not your precious duck..” a husky voice at the other line answered

“wait.. who are you?”

“hmmm… i don’t know.. hahaha! Try looking under his bed… he might be there.. you know.. waiting for you…”

“huh? I don’t get it.. why is he under his bed?. Jung hwan are you playing tricks on me?”

“he won’t be playing any tricks on you princess squirrel… cuz his corpse is starting to rot by now”

Beep

Baro was shocked with what he heard. Sandeul won’t make that kind of joke.  Who the heck is on the other line? Baro started feeling scared.. this is serious he thought.. I must know where jung hwan is. He hurriedly went back to their dorm to tell the others what just happened but he found an empty dorm. The other’s weren’t there.. he found a note on the table

hey.. we went to the studio. We’re preparing things for the comeback. Your food is on the table… we cooked an extra portion for sandeul too. Tell him to eat that when he’s home

-JY,CNU,GC

“great… now im alone.. aish.  Now where is that guy?”

Try looking under his bed…. his corpse is starting to rot by now

 He remembered what the strange caller said.

How could that be?  He thought.

Im sure it’s just sandeul playing pranks on me. but what if…

 He’s getting scared by the minute.. he went inside their room and noticed it. Sheets on sandeul’s bed are missing. Just pillows and blankets. He slowly walked towards the bed. He kneeled down and tried to peek under.

Then he saw it.

A lifeless body covered with bed sheets and blood stains. He’s stabbed at his chest. Terror and shock painted on the corpse’s cold face. Baro stood up.

“no..no.. this  can’t be happening.. it can’t be true..im just..just dreaming.. he’s not dead.. he’s alive.. im just dreaming.. I had  a rough night last night that’s why i thought im awake but actually im dreaming”

He said this as he stood up walking backwards..away from the corpse under the bed. But he suddenly hit something.

“why..why..why are you here?”

“oh.. nothing..just checking if you already saw the corpse.. im planning to let you see him”

“you.. you did this?”

“yes princess squirrel…I did this”

“but..but why?”

“I just hate you all of you”

“hate us? Why would you hate us? We’re a team right? Be the one all for one?”

“gosh.. let’s stop the drama and go with it okay?”

“go with what?”

“haha.. you’re so slow.. you’re next. baro”

“wait..why me?”

“Enough with the chitchat..i want this as fast as possible we still need to go to the studio”

Baro’s eyes went blank.

The night came and the other three members just got home..

“where’s baro? Has he found sandeul?” jinyoung asked

“look hyung! Baro hyung left a note” channie said

Hyung I found sandeul. Im with him right now . we went out

-baro

“oh..so they went out” shinwoo said.

“ahh..never mind them.. i wanna eat” jinyoung said as he head to the kitchen

“okay.. I’ll go to the bedroom...”shinwoo said

“im starving …. I’ll follow jinyoung hyung..” channie head to the kitchen as well

Shinwoo went inside their room and unpacked his things….suddenly he heard the door creak

“oh…hey..” shinwoo said

“hello… ”

“what’s with that tone? You’re freaking me out”

“oh really? Well… that’s my goal… to freak you out”

“hey..you know im not good at scare pranks right?”

“oh no..don’t worry this is not a prank..” the other guy held out a butcher knife

“what are you doing?”

“hmm..try to guess J”

Shinwoo’s eyes widened

“why?..what did I do? “

“you don’t need to know”

“but..”

“shhh…don’t try to scream.. he won’t hear you.. he’s in the bathroom at the moment.. he won’t hear you anyway”

“stop..stop this.. why are you…”

The eldest of the group fell to the floor bathing in his blood.

Jinyoung got out of the bathroom after having a pee and went straight to the kitchen to eat but when he was almost start eating…..

“gongchan…why are you covered in… is that blood?”

“yes hyung. It’s blood.. “

“channie… you’re joking aren’t you?”

“nope.. wanna taste it?” he went closer to jinyoung.

“channnie.. you’re freaking me out.. what’s happening”

“won’t you ask where shinwoo hyung is?”

“shinwoo??..is that.. shinwoo’s…”

“yep.. I killed shinwoo..just like I killed sandeul and baro”

“you.. you killed sandeul? And baro?..but..i thought they’re together? They went out right?”

“yep..they’re corpses are together now..at the dumpsite…I just threw away their bodies”

“but..but.,..why did you do that?”

“well…huyng.. you see.. I love you..”

“you love me?”

“yes hyung.. I love you.. I love you so much im ready to kill for you”

“but..but..why did you kill them? Why do you love me? channie you this is wrong..this is all wrong!”

“but hyung! I hate it when I see sandeul and baro hyung making fun of you.. calling you grandpa all the time.. and I hate it when shinwoo hyung clings onto you like you’re his toy”

“but..channie..we’re all friends here.. we can’t fall inlove with each other.. we’re all guys..”

“I don’t care hyung!!! I love you!”

“channie.. but… but..”

“but what hyung?”

“I don’t love you..i love you as a friend.. but..nothing more than that”

“huh?! all this time? What about all those sweet acts? “

“they’re all friendly acts.. I didn’t know you’ll see that as a sweet act..im sorry channie.. but..i just don’t love you the way you love me”

“no..no..no.. no hyung… you can’t be saying that..i killed everyone who’s on my way no loving you..i killed those two pranksters! I killed shinwoo hyung!”

“channie wake up! We’re all friends!! You killed them just because you love me!!! channie that’s not right! You could’ve told me you feelings earlier.. you didn’t have to do this.”

“you’ll still reject me if I told you my feelings earlier right?”

“channie i..”

“NO! I did everything hyung! I did everything just to make you love me! and now im, getting this!!!??”

“channie please..i..”

“no hyung..no..im done..i guess I have no choice..”

“no choice?”

“i’ll end you here hyung..if I won’t get you..then no one will!”

“channie..stop this.. please..”

“no hyung!! You made me do this!”

“channie please..please channie!! Stop!!!”

The leader’s lifeless body fell to the floor..blood all over his clothes. He was butchered by their maknae.

GONGCHAN’S POV

He sat down on the floor and held jinyoung’s corpse

“ jinyoung hyung doesn’t want me..he doesn’t love me” tears started to roll down his face

“I did everythning for  him.i followed him! Im a good member. But why doesn’t he love me? doesn’t he notice all my efforts?..” he’s sobbing now.

“I think..i think I should end this.. all of this.. no one loves me now… jinyoung is gone.. he doesn’t love me…I did everything but it was all in vain…I should be gone… no one loves me.. no one does…”

The maknae’s lifeless body fell on top of their leaders body.
