" friends don't understand me anymore "

yeonjun, txt - can't you see me

3rd person POVthe side of the crumbling cliff was grasped by jennie as she tried levitating herself upwards against the force of gravity. haewon, only a few centimetres away watched with impassively. she stepped on her friend's hand causing the girl to blench and continue to hold on.

"Very funny Haewon, can you help me up now?" she said, voice shaky and hysterical.

"I don't seem to be laughing, so why should you be?"

Her face remained inscrutable. Jennie could not apprehend what was happening.

The black haired girl bent down on the edge, now reaching an arm out to finally pull her companion up. Dubious, Jennie clasped onto the cold hand and groaned in pain from the duration she was stuck there.

Just as her last leg was on rock ground, Haewon broke the link and set a light push onto Jennie's sternum. It was if slow motion had taken hold. Betrayal and bewilderment spread on every corner of her expression as she stared at her unbothered associate.

Time returned to it's standard order as she fell, hitting uneven rocks, scraping every inch of her body that soon turned bloody. Sticks and stones collided into one form, Jennie tried promoting her arms to protect her face but failed. Just as the ground was to come in contact, the girl jolted awake from the hideous rêve.

Haewon surprised by the action, came close to her panicked friend straight away.

"Hey it's alright, it's alright, it was just a nightmare." she said, carefully placing the back of her hand on Jennie's forehead to scrutinise a stable temperature.

Sweat poured from the glands, the girl's disorientation went up and down like the readings of a broken thermometer. Eyes wide open, she observed closely at pouring water into a tiny cup.

"Leave." Jennie commanded.

"What? Why do you want me to leave?" she asked puzzled.

"Leave, now." she repeated, mouth trembling.

Stuttering to try and testify again, the female accepted defeat, put down the drink and headed to the door. Turning somewhat clockwise, she spoke once more :

"Before I go, I wanted to let you know that Lisa is doing well and that Wooyoung is being kept locked in his room. He won't be near us for a while after what was revealed by Lisa." Haewon sniffled, respiring very slowly.

"You know we have been best friends for ages now and the fact you didn't tell me what was going on, just hurts me. It really does. You were there for me those school years ago during my time of mistreatment but why did you not let me be there for you? Do you not trust me, is that it?Answer that for me Jen."

The weeping girl bit her lip and rotated meeting her friend's tearful eyes. Silence. That was all there was to Haewon's rhetorical inquiry.

"That's what I thought." she said, walking out and slamming the wooden door shut.

Sinking to the materialised floor, chin pointed to the ceiling, she let the hot tears seethe down and splatter on her clothes. Everything was being ripped apart, from her family, her friends, her life, her romantic interests. Everything.

Curling up into a globe, Haewon weeped until she was fast asleep in the barrenness of the corridors.

Wooyoung's POVquite amusing, how they think that keeping me in a room without the basic necessities is a punishment. this isn't the first time it's been like this and my body has adapted to being on days without food or drink. relaxation can only do some much but it's the drive that keeps me going and alive.

Jennie Kim.

The name that sends chills down my spine, the name that triggers my stimulation to arise.

My lesson was about to be taught but that bitch decides to turn up unexpectedly. Not to fret though, the eventuality of when I am able to leave this room will be soon; and when it comes, I'll be taking my precious with me. No one is going to ruin it this time and that is a promise.

She may detest me now, but I know she also has a side of her that dearly misses my endearment. The more she denies it, the more it will eat her up inside. Great love takes time to evince but I am certain, as star-crossed lovers, we are on the right track to it.

Abo Imo Pectore, I love you.

Yunho's POVeveryone sat at the table, astray in their own notions. three of the four girls were not present, but none of us wanted to go search. my mind went to jennie, hoping that she was doing well despite the situation. after today, I prayed that we would all be sanguine that no more noxious encounters from wooyoung would happen both inside the mansion and out.

"Speaking for us all and the current affairs that have been occurring, I think we all need a day of distraction." Yeji stated, hands intertwined.

"What do you have in mind?" Hongjoong proceeded, taking a positive approach with the offer.

"I'm not too sure..."

"How about a small party?" Mingi suggested, taking the cat eyed girl's hand and holding it in his own.

She timidly beamed at his action, now red-faced in front of the whole gang. The members and I smiled teasingly at the pair.

"Seems Mingi has met his match huh?" Seonghwa jokingly remarked.

The red head himself said nothing and chose to ignore his mocking. "Anyways"

The wolf haired man chuckled, beguiled by his friend's embarrassment.

"Yeah, a party seems like a good idea." Jongho agreed.

"We could host it in here, we can rearrange the hall and it's goods to make extra space." I added.

"Wait, I know this is bizarre to bring up now, but are you all not even one bit affected by Yeosang's death? Especially the fact we all saw him get shot by Wooyoung." Yeji questioned, restless at her sudden statement.

4. "one of the grim reapers will claim a soul"

Quietude fell upon them until the leader spoke.

"Thank you for bringing that up Yeji, the reason none of us are giving any condolences, is because Yeosang was a traitor; not to just us, but to you and your sister as well." he explained crucially. "He knew what he was getting into when he decided to side and help the enemy. Loyalty is a high quality that you need to possess in this gang and if you break it, then we could care less if your perfidious ass gets killed."

Every figure set a unison nod of consensus as Hongjoong paused for a split second.

"I hope that cleared things and gave the rest of you a wake up call. Now, onto the arrangements of the party."
