Tick, Tock. Tick, Tock.

Third Person's POV

BANG! Jun shot Minghao right in his heart.

He points the gun to his head. Flashing a sad smile to the members, he pull the trigger and shot himself.

All of them looked at Jun, astonished.

"What did you just do...?" S.Coups said softly, still couldn't comprehend with the situation.

~Flashback~

"Jun ge, if I don't make it, please kill me immediately after that." The8 said sternly.

"But... why? We will search for the cure of this virus--"

Jun was cut off by Minghao. The latter just smile sadly at his hyung.

"I won't make it. I just know it."

"But still. There is hope. You can't just give up like that!" Jun shouted out of frustration.

"Ge, just do as I say, ok? I don't want to be that scary creature."

"B-but--"

"Please, ge. This is my last wish..."

"Fine..."

"Promise?" Minghao hold up his pinky finger.

"I... I promise..." Their fingers linked.

~End of Flashback~

Jeonghan cried looking at the situation. Jun just shot Minghao and himself. The floor was covered by their blood. The maknae lines looks guilty. If they didn't move from their seats, it wouldn't happen. DK comforts them, telling it was not their fault.

Mingyu grab two blankets and covered their body. Everyone was sad except for one person that still speechless of what just happen.

Wonwoo's POV

'This happen just like in my dream.'

~Flashback~

"Minghao, don't sleep! Keep your eyes open! I will find help."

"No, it's too late. I won't make it." With that, Minghao smile to Jun and close his eyes.

"Minghao! No!" He cried, hugging the younger with his hand painted with Minghao's blood.

Jun saw a knife lying beside him. He took it and with a swift move, he stab himself.

I woke up from my sleep, catching a breath. I just dream about my fellow members killing his self.

"Hyung, are you ok?" My roommate, Mingyu asked.

"I'm ok. Just have a nightmares." I said, then I tried to dozed off again, and forget about the dream.

~End of Flashback~

'If only I tell it to Jun and The8 about this, this wouldn't happen. Jun will not have to kill The8 and himself. They would be safe and we still can find cure for The8 and Hoshi.'

'Why was this happen to us? What we do wrong until we got a punishment like this?'

I wipe off my tears and walk out from the room. I just want some fresh air.

I walk along the corridor and suddenly I remember about my family.

Third Person's POV

Mingyu saw Wonwoo walks out from the room and he followed him. Once he outside, he cannot find Wonwoo anywhere. So, he decided to go to the service counter. He found a telephone at the service counter and quickly press his mother's number.

"Hello, omma?"

"... Mingyu ...?" Heavy breathing can be heard from the other side of the phone.

"Omma? Are you ok?!" He start to panicked.

"... T-take care of yourself, Mingyu... D-don't let the creatures f-find you..."

"Omma! What's wrong?!" Tears streaming on his cheeks.

"I-I love you, my s-son.." --ttut ttut ttut. The called was cut off.

"Omma!"

He cried and Wonwoo, who just went back from restroom, slowly approached Mingyu. He sits beside him and comforts him.

"They bite my mother and I don't even know if my father or sister survived." He said.

Wonwoo, who know of what Mingyu means by 'they', nod and then he said, "Gyu, I know that feeling of not being able to contact your family to know if they're survived or not. But what I want to do now is to find the cure and I want to know who start all this shit."

"Same." He smiled and Wonwoo wipe Mingyu tears and telling him not to cry anymore.

Little did they know, a girl squealed after she saw the scene.

Hye In's POV

I just witnessed a murder and suicide right in front of my eyes. What makes it more sad is that my idols, my favourite idols did that. The members cried while Wonwoo and Mingyu went out, maybe to get some fresh air. The scene is so sad and makes me went out of the room.

Seeing them, I remember of my parents. A tear escape from my eye and I quickly wipe it.

'I'm not weak. I don't cry easily.'

I walk along the corridor and I found Wonwoo and Mingyu sit in front of the counter. They didn't notice me and I hide in one of the room and watch them secretly.

Mingyu has his head resting on Wonwoo's shoulder and Wonwoo held Mingyu's hand and oh my god.

'Meanie is real!'

I accidentally squealed and fangirling over them and they might or might not heard me.

"Who's there?" Wonwoo asked.

'Ok, they heard me.'

"Hey guys." I walk out from my hiding place and approach them.

"Oh you are Jung Hye In, right?" Mingyu said.

"Yeah, that's me."

"We didn't greet each other properly." Wonwoo said.

"Oh no need. I know everything about you guys. From your birthday date to your favourite colour." I smiled at them.

"Ok, that's creepy." Wonwoo said with his are-you-serious face.

"Hey, that 's what you do if you're a big fan of someone." I defend myself. How dare he called me creepy?

"Hahaa, so you a Carat?" Mingyu said.

"Of course. A proud Carat." I said.

While we talk, we were interupted by Dino who come to find us.

"Coups hyung has something to talk about and he want us to gather."

"Oh, alright."

~At the room~

"Guys, I found an old newspaper when I find food with Woozi & Jeonghan. It's a week old newspaper. It says that a professor, Professor Oh is trying his best to find cure for the Vambieres." The leader said.

"Great! Let's go to him!" Hye In said.

"Sadly, he is now on an island. He lives there to avoid the Vambieres." Woozi hyung said in a disappoint tune.

"But we must find him. Or Hoshi..." Jeonghan hyung can't continue his words.

"Ok, so you guys know that these thing will not over if we didn't find the cure, right?" the leader said.

All of us nod and continue to listen to what he want to said.

"We will go find the cure." He said while he looked at Hoshi who was stare blankly at the wall.
