How to stay alive (even though you're technically dead.)Somehow, we managed to cram the two into a closet, much to Youngjae's dismay.
"I told you that we shouldn't do the closet plan!"
We glared at him, silently telling him to shut up.
He shot back an angry look and pouted.
Several loud hits were heard from inside the closet.
It sounded like Zelo would break through at any moment.
"It won't work," Yongguk laughed. "I lined the inside with 2 sheets of aquarium glass and a large chunk of metal."
Daehyun and I stared at him.
He shrugged.
"I know a guy."
[INSIDE THE CLOSET]
Zelo angrily pounded at the door.
Kicking it, punching it, and even clawing at it, he tried in vain to open the door.
Jongup glanced at him and grumbled,"That's not gonna work. Give it up."
Zelo gave the door one final hit before turning around and slumping to the ground.
"Why are we here?"
"Beats me."
Zelo's phone rang.
An automated voice said,"You have one voicemail."
Zelo unlocked his phone and pressed on the screen.
"Jongup and Zelo, until you work it out, we're not letting you out. This is for your own good. The hyungs are worrying you. There's some food in there, and a bottle if you need to pee. We have a several camcorders in there, so we can see EVERYTHING. (Youngjae yelled that part to emphasize that no funny business would go on.) Good luck! Work it out. We can and will keep you in there, so Zelo, don't even try."
Zelo growled and threw his phone, shattering against the wall.
He hit the wall a couple of times to release some of his frustration.
"Jongup, can you hand me some of the chips?"
Jongup silently gave him a crinkled bag.
Furiously munching, he yelled, "We're on good terms! Everything is fine between us."
Jongup mumbled, "Not everything."
Zelo looked at Jongup.
"What do you mean?"
"Zelo, what are we?"
"We're friends."
"Just friends? Then why do you kiss me? Why do you play around with my feelings?"
Tears glittered in Jongup's eyes.
Zelo looked taken aback.
"Jongup, I didn't know..."
"Of course you didn't."
Jongup smiled bitterly.
He slid down the wall, sitting with a thump.
Burying his head in his arms, he tried to will the lump in his throat to disappear.
