Sorry for the terribly unmatching picture. You people are going to think im such a predictable author after this. I think. after that Jjong fell asleep before asdfghjkl can happen, i suppose this is a nice change. NOT.

Jonghyun POV:

Mystery. You're such a mystery.

I sat on the couch, spacing out, barely noticing the chaos the younger 2 were making.

I was right in front of him, but he didn't look at me.

You seemed to stare past me, right out of the window. 

Until last night, we were happy. Why is he suddenly acting this way, why are his eyes avoiding mine.

I keep thinking about it, but I really don't know. 

You've become a question that I don't know, what are you? Don't be like this, why are you making it hard on me.

"HYUNG!"

I jolted and hit my foot against the coffee table. I rolled off the sofa and kneeled down, wincing. 

"YES?!" I looked up with a growl.

Taemin POV: 

"Ah. ah.. Sorry hyung..." I reached out a hand, worried.

"Just... yeah. No second time." he hissed as he rubbed his foot.

"It's just that.. Onew hyung... if he was coming over as he said to you... it's already 4 hours..." I glanced at the clock again.

His head snapped up at the realization.

"Has that much time passed?" Minho and Jonghyun hyung said at the same time.

Jonghyun hyung scrambled for his phone.

Onew POV:

"I'm sorry, Jjongie, I really got to go okay? Go home with Minho and Taemin, I'll go over if I have time?" I laced my fingers with his, pleading.

"But, hyung...." he whined.

"Jonghyun..." I sighed. trying to hide my desperation to get him away.

"Okay hyung. Love you." he leaned up, brown eyes clouded with upset.

"Love you too." our lips met, and I tightened my fingers around his, treasuring the moment, the happiness I felt, because it wouldn't be for long.

He ran towards the others, shouting their names. I quickly my heel, walking briskly. 

One step. Two steps. Three steps. I passed the lamp post.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

I shut my eyes. I felt myself being pulled away, air rushing past me and I hit the dark cold slimy wall.

"Weak as ever." he spat.

I winced as I hit the floor, eyes falling shut in resignation. I held up an arm, blocking my face, while I tensed up.

"Relax... We won't leave a mark...that's visible anyway." they laughed at Taecyeon's presumably witty comment, and I got to my feet, biting my bottom lip to stop any sound from coming out.

Something flashed, and it felt like a sledgehammer had gone to my stomach. I coughed, saliva and anything coming out. Gasping, I looked up into their eyes, my direct view jumping from one to the other. 

"Can't you ing leave me alone." I whispered, my heart clenching as tears threatened to fall from my eyes.

I stared down at a red spot that wasn't there a minute before. It got bigger when something dark red, the exact same colour as the one before it, dropped in it. I raised a hand to my lips, to discover I had spit up blood.

Everything I didn't want to remember....was coming back. Double fold.

"Oh you want us to leave you alone? Sure, we'll just go find another 3 little victims...." Nickhun's voice dripped with honey.

No. The world would crack, shatter into the finest dust without their smiles and unhurt selves.

"No, no. NO!" I shouted at them. "You don't know them, not one of them, so leave them alone."

I wasn't telling the truth. They knew Minho. But he looks different. But I wouldn't tell them that.

"There, there... don't worry, we'll touch only you....After all, you look so pretty now...so cute... so handsome... no wonder your sweetheart wants to follow you everywhere."

I felt something smash into the back of my neck, and then everything was black.
