"What if we try using like a water pipe? Water pipes can be deadly," Jeongin suggested.

"The deadly ones are rusted. That's why they're deadly," Seungmin retorted.

"I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to find rusted water pipes." Jeongin said. "We don't necessarily need water pipes either. Just something long, not too light and won't break easily."

"They seemed to be figuring out themselves, so I think you might not need to worry about them." Felix said to Hyunjin. The taller nodded. 

"That's great." Hyunjin nodded.

"So," Chan asked, "Is it about time we go?"

"Yeah, we pretty much got the hang of it." Woojin agreed.

Hyunjin thought for a while, "Well, I guess. How long do we need to head to that place?"

"This place is pretty huge and we need to go by our own legs," Changbin tapped on his monitor, "We need nearly a day."

"We still have food," Felix said.

"Yeah, that reminds me. What do we do about food? Hygiene? Entertainment? Shelter?" Jisung asked.

"Chill, there's an abandoned hospital next to it. Chan and I know how to build electric and water networks." Changbin said.

"Then why don't we live in that hospital?" Jeongin questioned.

"Because no one likes living in hospitals," Minho deadpanned.

"Correct." Seungmin nodded.

"Then we're all set," Woojin concluded, "Is that right?"

"Right," Changbin said, "I'll lead the way. Woojin, Chan, please walk at the back."

"Hyung," Felix said to Minho, "Are you okay now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb, hyung. I know you were troubled."

"Same to you," Minho retorted, "Explain yourself first."

"Fine, fine," Felix gave in. It's not like he hated confessing to his brother - but Minho's tone could be harsher than what he liked sometimes, "I felt sorry for dragging Jisung into this mess."

"Lovebirds."

"That's not the point, hyung. The point is, I was feeling really guilty even when I knew Jisung enjoyed leaving that place. So I blamed myself."

"Then?" Minho pursued, "Did you resolve it?"

"Better, at least." Felix replied, "Seeing how everyone working hard for everything...I am glad. We might be running into a mess, but at least no one dislikes it."

Minho hummed. "You're right. Me too."

Felix eyed at him in surprise, "You too?"

"Yeah. I wasn't blaming myself, but I did worry about whether it's fine to bring them here." Minho said, "But seeing how everyone more or less enjoyed it, I guess it's that bad of a bad choice."

"Of course, hyung." Felix smiled, feeling relaxed for the first time in such a long time, "We'll be able to defeat anything if the 9 of us stay together."
