Earlier that day--but not too early; long after ChanYeol and Kris left--ChangMin sat on the roof of his shared house with YunHo, looking at the direction of the west gate. BaekHyun was in the house cooking what everyone--Jino, Tao and ChangMin--had assumed was their dinner.

Stir fried vegetables, baked salmon, steak, bacon that formed a smiley face and rice were all on the menu. It was pretty simple but it was the best BaekHyun could do at the moment. He wiped his wet hands onto his ChangMin's pants and stepped back to admire his work laid out neatly on the table.

"A little... burnt don't you think?" Jino asked, peeking over BaekHyun's shoulder. He shrugged. Despite the fact that the food looked slightly burnt at some parts and barely edible at others, it beat what their captors fed them so it was enough to make his mouth water."But I'm hungry so..." His hand reached out for a steak but BaekHyun slapped it away.

"It's for ChanYeol!" He adjusted the plate his hand had brushed and smiled in satisfaction.

"Kris saved us too..." Tao muttered, looking down at the food and his lips.

"Y-yea, it's for Kris too!" BaekHyun stuttered.

"But bacon for dinner? Really?" Jino questioned.

"ChanYeol likes bacon."

"Are you sure he didn't mean 'BaekHyun'?" Tao snickered. BaekHyun caught it and chose not to acknowledge it but he couldn't stop the blush rising up his cheeks.

"Then what's for us?" Jino whined, reaching out for a bacon only to be smacked away again.

BaekHyun stiffene. Right, he thought. I was supposed to cook dinner for them too... He made his way to the kitchen to look for edible leftovers from the dinners before. He found barely enough to feed four people but it had to d--

Crash

He sputtered incredulously at the empty plates on the table and turned to the duo standing beside the table where they were before he left with thier mouth gaping open. "I thought I told you that was for ChanYeol and Kris!"

"Ah wah ethting eet!" a muffled voice replied defensively.

BaekHyun looked up to see ChangMin wiping his lips with a tissue, his cheeks puffed with the food he had stuffed in them. "You mean to tell me you ate all of that? Alone? I wasn't even gone for a minute!"

ChangMin swallowed his food. "I was hungry!"

"We're all hungry!" Jino added, patting his empty stomach.

"And that was supposed to be our dinner," Tao stated, pointing at the food on the ground, blended with the broken remnants of the plate. "We clearly can't eat that anymore..." Tao, Jino and ChangMin looked at BaekHyun expectantly.

"Fine! I'll go get a broom," BaekHyun announced.

"But we're hungry..." Jino pouted, twiddling his fingers, following BaekHyun to get the broom. "And there's no food in the fridge and you just made our leftovers inedible so...."

"Someone's gotta buy dinner," ChangMin piped up.

"I wonder who though..." Tao finished, looking pointedly at BaekHyun to be joined by Jino and ChangMin.

"Why are you guys teaming up against me?!" he asked, holding up his hands defensively. "ChangMin ate it!"

ChangMin laughed and patted BaekHyun's hair. "We're just messing with you, kid. I'll go get the food. Just take care of yourselves."

"Can do," Tao answered gladly, plopping himself onto the sofa.

"I'll go with you, hyung!" Jino called, putting on a striped sweater.

ChangMin nodded, adjusting his clothes and putting a on his own jacket. "Let's go then!"

"Bye!" With that, the duo left and Tao and BaekHyun were left alone, Tao flipping through one of the magazines on the table and BaekHyun sweeping up the mess he had made on the floor. When BaekHyun was done, he hesitantly sat next to Tao on the sofa, puffing up his cheeks and feeling slightly awkward being in the same room as someone he barely knew. He should have just went with ChangMin...

An awkward silence hung in the air and BaekHyun made a face. "So... Your name is Tao? Is that your full name?"

Tao raised his eyebrows and cleared his throat. "Uh, no, my name's Huang ZiTao but Tao works just fine. What about you..?"

"BaekHyun is my name. Byun BaekHyun is my full name so uh... Byun is my surname." He resisted the urge to slap himself. What kind of idiot did he think Tao was?

Tao made a 'pop' sound with his lips and leaned back into the sofa, the magazine still covering his face. "So I'm older than you right?"

"I don't know. Are you? I'm born in 1992."

Tao peeked from behind the magazine, his eyes widening slightly. "1993. I'm younger..." He chuckled. "...Hyung."

BaekHyun laughed nervously and cleared his throat, not really knowing what else to add to their small talk. He examined the bookshelves across him, hoping that Tao would say something.

Tao nodded at nothing in particular, put down the magazine and stretched on the sofa with a groan. He stood up after another extended period of silence. "I'm going to take a shower," he told BaekHyun and ascended up the stairs.

"Okay," BaekHyun nodded, letting his posture slacken. He reached for the magazine Tao picked up but didn't get a chance to read it before a scratching sound at the door alerted him. He stood up slowly and rolled up the magazine as a makeshift weapon. Whoever it was behind the door couldn't be human. Humans could knock doors. Monsters didn't have brains to even think of knocking right? What if it was a monster? Should he wait for Tao?

The scratching stopped and BaekHyun let himself drop onto his knees not too far from the door. There was a loud thud and a yelp, making BaekHyun kick himself back and away from the door. Those sounds were followed by rustles and a manly, unfamiliar grunt before it ended with another 'thud'.

BaekHyun slowly edged towards the staircase to get Tao, hoping that he'd know what to do but was stopped when someone started knocking the door.

"BaekHyun! It's me!"

Relief washed over the younger boy as he ran to the door without second thought to open it. As soon as he did, he found Jino standing at the doorway alone, his hands shoved in his pocket.

"Where's ChangMin?"

"Get in!" Jino barked, keeping his head down and attempting to shove past BaekHyun but stopped when a scream echoed down the street. Followed by many more.

"What was that?" BaekHyun attempted to push his way outside but Jino pressed a hand against his forehead and pushed him inside.

"I said get in!" he snapped, closing the door behind him. BaekHyun looked up at his features. "Where's Tao? I need you all down here and to follow me. ChangMin's looking for you."

"Shower," BaekHyun answered immediately, pointing upstairs in the confusion of the moment. Jino's gaze followed his finger then looked back down at BaekHyun.

He forced the latter onto the couch. "Stay here, I'll go get him." Jino trudged up the stairs and BaekHyun's eyes followed him to see something white dangling from the pocket of his jacket.

Thanks to his excellent eyesight, he could easily identify it. "Jino, there's a dead rodent in your... Jacket."

"What?" Jino questioned, stopping with a hand on the railing of the stairs, a painting hanging next to his face.

BaekHyun stared at him as his thoughts slowly came together. Jacket. A black jacket. A dead rodent in his black jacket. He's alone. The scratching at the door. Jino. The painting next to his face. Jino positoned himself in front of BaekHyun as his thoughts raced, staring with wide eyes at the latter. Jino was always shorter than the painting. Jino never liked to wander the streets at night alone. He's alone. Black. Jino never liked black--

He met "Jino"'s eyes and clenched his hands into a fist. "You're not Jino."

The imposter laughed and slapped a hand over his forehead. "It took you long enough!" He morphed into an unfamiliar man. Sharp nose, thin lips, deep, dark eyes, his jet black hair gelled back neatly... No one BaekHyun had seen before. The man laughed and threw the rodent in his pocket at BaekHyun's lap, making him scramble back. "There's your friend. Now stay here as I go get the other one."

BaekHyun let him go as he stared, horrified, at the squirrel on his lap. Its body was limp and loose, its mouth was hanging open with blood coming out of it as well as its nose. He gently laid the squirrel on the couch and stood up, picking up a photoframe at throwing it at the man with a grunt.

"Why are you so stupid?" the man laughed. He turned around and BaekHyun couldn't even register what happened a minute before he out... vision wise. He could still feel his surroundings and he could feel himself propped against a wall, his head falling to the side. He attempted to get up... but why couldn't he move.

BaekHyun began panicking, giving off an angry red light as footsteps approached him. It was then he realized that he wasn't blinded. The lights were off. "I told you to stay put," the man whispered, his breath against BaekHyun's ear. "I can't say you don't deserve this." He drew out a dagger and stabbed it into BaekHyun's thigh, pinning him to the floor.

He screamed and a blinding light filled the room. He could barely hear Tao calling for him before he passed out.

He had woken up later upon hearing voices...

And that was what ChanYeol, Kris and Kai were seeing. BaekHyun, a bloody mess leaning against the wall, a knife stabbed into his leg, piercing it all the way through to the floor, a light radiating from his broken form. ChanYeol was the first one forward followed by Kai. "Where's Tao?" Kris demanded.

"Upstairs," BaekHyun croaked. With a curse, Kris ran up the stairs and disappeared into the darkness that BaekHyun's light couldn't touch, which wasn't much considering his state.

The light blinked as BaekHyun felt a pain shooting up his leg. They were trying to take the knife out. He didn't know how bad the damage actually was until he saw ChanYeol--the happy virus, the fairy on crack, the boy who smiled no matter what--crying. He was blabbering to himself too.

"I shouldn't have left you here, I should have taken you with me," he kept chanting over and over as he tried to pull out the knife but it did no good because it was stuck to the floor. With every pull, BaekHyun would yelp and Kai would tighten his grasp on ChanYeol's shoulders.

There was a crash upstairs and ChanYeol paused before pulling even harder.

"ChanYeol," BaekHyun sobbed, unable to stop his tears as he watched his best friend struggle. "Go. Please, just go. He'll get you."

"I don't care!" ChanYeol yelled. "It's almost out, Bacon, just hang in there--" Footsteps. There were footsteps coming down the stairs. "We'll get out of here," he hissed. "We'll get out of here together because we are bacon and eggs and bacon and eggs always go together, you hear me?" he sniffled. The knife budged.

"There's no time," BaekHyun panted.

ChanYeol looked up at Kai who had been silent the whole time. "Teleport."

Kai looked up. "He won't make it. The wound will be stretched and it might--"

The front door burst open and two shadowed figures entered the room.

"TELEPORT!" ChanYeol ordered. Out of shock, Kai did as asked, BaekHyun's screech echoed in his ears as he did so.

The two men that entered the room ran straight to the figure at the staircase and took the two boys off his shoulders. "Are you alright, sir?" one of them asked.

"Do I have to do everything myself?" their boss snapped. "Has J13.4 been accounted for?"

"Yes, sir."

"One less reason to kill you," the man smirked and his worker gulped. "But what to do? Three of them got away." He exited the house with his workers following behind him. "ShinWoo, I have put you in charge of this mission. Why am I doing all the work? What have your soldiers been doing?" ShinWoo remained silent. The boss sighed. "Three down, ten more to go." He stopped. "But what are the odds of B6.2 making it through the teleportation?"

He looked up at the night sky, shrugged and continued to walk. "Whatever. The Legends could work with 12 before, they can do it again."
