Jay's POV

MY heart was thumping so hard against my chest that it nearly hurt.

I was standing in front of such a familiar door.

I usually would've burst right through with no warning, but now things were different.

This wasn't where I live, this wasn't where I relaxed, this wasn't a place I belonged to anymore.

I gently knocked on the door.

No answer.

I knocked slightly harder.

I could hear some yelling that was muffled through the door, but the voices were recognizable - TaecYeon and JunHo.

I bet they were arguing about who was going to get the door.

I sighed in frustration, because noone was answering the door and because I just wanted to belong here again like nothing had ever happened.

I was about to knock again when the door flew open.

Me: Hi.....

JunHo: Omo! Jay Hyung?!

Just like it always was - JunHo lost the argument.

Me: Yea, I'm here to get my stuff.

JunHo: Uh..... Yea, sure..... Come in.....

I walked in and took off my shoes.

JunHo was about to call out to the rest of them i nthe lounge, but I decided to stop him.

Me: Hey, could you not call them.....? I really don't want to make this huge fuss.....

Hesitation was clear in his eyes, but he nodded in the end.

JunHo: Okay.....

We walked into what used to be my room and I pulled out my small clothes bag.

Me: I'm just going to take my clothes for now and I'll take everything else when you guys are out. When's your next schedule?

JunHo: Only NichKhun Hyung and WooYoung Hyung have schedules today and they're in the evening.

Me: Oh, that won't help..... What about tomorrow?

JunHo: We're on full schedule tomorrow.

Me: Okay, I'll get it tomorrow afternoon then.

JunHo: Do you have a key?

Me: Yup, I do.

I walked over to my drawers and pulled out all of them, revealing the wrinkled clothes which have been stuck there for a while now.

Suddenly, a knock echoed through the room

NichKhun's POV

JunHo had been out at the front door for ages now.

Me: I'm going to go check on him. Someone might have kidnapped him, you know.

No-one turned to my direction, leaving me to sigh and head to the front door of our dorm.

As I walked, I felt my heartbeat quicken.

I couldn't hear anything, only silence.

When I reached the front door, JunHo wasn't there, but instead, a pair of shoes I had never seen before was there.

Me: I could just be a friend of JunHo's.

I silently said to myself and walked through the corridor, looking for a room that wasn't so silent.

Sure enough, I could hear a muffled conversation from.....

Jay Hyung's room.....?

Feeling more content and also confused, I knocked on his door.

Me: Who's there, JunHo?

The conversation immediately died down and no answer came.

I opened the door slightly.

Me: JunHo? You there?

Someone whispered something and JunHo answered me this time.

JunHo: Yea, I'm here, you can go now!

He shut the door on me.

Me: Yah, JunHo! Who's there with you? I saw an extra pair of shoes inside our front door!

JunHo: Geez, don't yell, NichKhun Hyung! It's just..... A friend.....

My sixth sense told me that he was lying.

Me: I know when you're lying, JunHo!

He fell silent and his push against the door lessened.

I instantly took the chance to throw the door open.

Me: Yah, JunHo, why wouldn't you let me..... Oh my gosh! Jay Hyung!!!!!

Jay: Shhhhhh!

WooYoung called out from the lounge.

WooYoung: Did you say Jay Hyung?!

Everyone from the lounge rushed in and I slammed the door shut - well, JunHo did.

I wondered why JunHo was being protective over him.

It was usually the other way around since Jay Hyung was older than JunHo.
