Chapter 21
SecretsSunggyu wearily grabbed a cup of water from the kitchen before sitting down again. Days had gone by, and till then, the horrible memories still haunted him in his sleep. Looking at his hands, he let out a frustrated sigh as he froze the cup of water. He wished he had never discovered these powers, so that none of these would have happened.
"What's wrong, hyung?" A voice asked, causing the surprised leader to look up.
"Sungjongie?" He asked as he looked around, trying to spot the maknae.
"I'm here." Sungjong said as he appeared beside him.
Jumping slightly, Sunggyu placed the cup down before giving him a weak smile.
"Nothing much." He replied, trying his best to keep his smile.
A look of worry was present in Sungjong's eyes, and Sunggyu tried to ignore Sungjong's thin and pale figure. He knew he looked just as bad, but the sight made his heart ache as he recalled the cheerful Sungjong from before.
"Myungsoo hyung?" Sungjong asked softly, looking at the leader with his swollen, red eyes.
Shaking his head lightly, Sunggyu placed one hand on the younger's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.
More like comforting myself... He thought as a drop of water landed on the floor beside him.
A sudden vibration startled him, and taking out his phone, Sunggyu's small eyes widened in shock as he saw the message.
Feeling the leader's sudden move, Sungjong looked at him curiously, and seeing his expression, he took a peek at the message. Reading it, he noticed the sender, and a small gasp escaped him.
Missed me, Sunggyu hyung?
- Myungsoo
"WHAT? MYUNGSOO'S ALIVE?" A loud shout was heard as the sound of footsteps followed.
Doors opened and closed, and gathering in the living room, the members looked at the message Sunggyu forwarded.
"I don't know. It might be someone else..." Sunggyu said as he walked out of the kitchen.
"IT'S HIM! I KNOW IT! MYUNGIE'S ALIVE!" Dongwoo wailed as he hit Sungyeol with a pillow he found.
"Stop hitting me!" Sungyeol exclaimed as he snatched the pillow away, glaring at the dinosaur.
"Then where is he?" Hoya asked, speaking his thoughts out loud.
"I don't know..." Sunggyu replied as he looked back down at his phone.
Eyes wide open, Woohyun blinked a few times before responding, "Then ask him!"
"What if it's not him?" Sungjong asked, looking up from his fingers which he had been playing with.
"It wouldn't hurt to try." Sungyeol said again before looking back at Dongwoo who had grabbed another pillow.
"MYUNGIE'S ALIVE..." Dongwoo continued wailing as he started hitting Hoya with the pillow.
"What if it's just someone playing a trick on us?" Sungjong murmered as he sat down beside Dongwoo, grabbing his pillow to hug.
"Then asking that wouldn't do much." Hoya said after he thought for a moment.
"So?" Sunggyu asked as he looked up again.
"Just ask, Gyu hyung. At least we might get to know if he's really alive." Woohyun mumbled softly.
"Where have you been this past few days?"
"Healing, recovering." Myungsoo replied with a smirk.
"How did you-"
"Don't you remember? I'm the one that came back from the dead a few years ago." Myungsoo said, cutting off their leader.
"Oh..." The leader said before nodding, seemingly to recall the memory.
"So what do we do next?" Myungsoo asked as he polished his pistol.
"It will all start soon, Myungsoo. I'll gather the rest. And then, we'll have a fair battle."
