"Come on Na Jaemin, it's just a party and you're handsome. Come with us!" My classmates invites me, dragging me out of our school gate.

"I'm sorry but I really have to go, I still have something to do." I reasoned out, I promised the others that we will meet at our usual spot for dinner.

My classmate hovers his arm on my shoulder, "We will be quick, I bet your friends will be there as well. It's a worldwide celebration for all the blessings our mother earth received."

My senses got focused, "Worldwide?" I thought they are just inviting me for some lame blind date or some party.

The girl beside me spoke, "Haven't you heard the news?"

"No."

"There will be a celebration tonight, in every part of the world. Where different festivities will be held. It will be fun and all are invited, so it would be a waste if a handsome guy like you won't attend that celebration, come with us Jaemin." She hugs my free arm.

I let out an awkward chuckle, "I'm really sorry but I can't go with you guys."

"Don't worry, whatever you are hurrying to, you will suuurely make it." Another guy behind me spoke.

"Really guys, it's fine if you all go without me." I said.

The first guy who talked to me spoke again, "We want you with us because we want to hang out with you."

Another girl spoke, she was busy fixing her hair a while ago. "We are classmates but you spend your time with Lee Jeno and the others too much, loosen up Jaemin."

"Seriously though."

"Just this one night please?" The girl who is hugging my arm begged while acting cute.

I took a deep breath.

"Fine."

The guy behind me walked ahead of us, "Okay, time to party!"

And with that they dragged me to their car. These kids, I know that none of us still have a driver's license but now we're going out.

We stopped when we reached the venue. It's an open field party and very crowded.

I don't like this place...

"Let's go!" They pulled my hand so we could go into the party. A lot of people are dancing at the center.

My classmates joined the fun, I guess I have to wait here then.

I just observed the event. Food is still not available, all the tables are empty. The stage is empty too, only the DJ at the right corner is sitting while playing the beat.

Weird, he or she, I don't know. They're wearing mascaras.

I sigh to myself, fishing my phone out of my pocket when I noticed someone texted me.

Chenle:

Jisungie🐤 is wondering where you are since you didn't go to your apartment. He can't contact you now cause his phone is dead lol and he forgot to recharge it (silly pwark). I just texted since maybe your busy studying or idk and I thought calling you would be annoying, but i'm not annoying ryt??!!!. We are all here at the park alreadyyyyyyy. You're late so you will treat us lunch tomorrow HAHAHAHAHAHAHAWHAHAH. I'M HUNGRYYYYYY SO HURRRYYY!!! IF YOU WON'T COME, then okay ;)

BUT TREAT ME FOOD. YUM

I chuckled at his message. I'm feeling guilty already.

I typed:

Lele, i'm sorry I can't come now. Tell Jisungie that I will be back later. I'm sorry :((((((

I waited for a while for a reply but a girl classmate of mine dragged me, "Don't just bore yourself there, have some fun!"

I sighed then I insert my phone back to my pocket.

But when we arrived with our other classmates, a woman stepped into the stage.

She is wearing a red dress and a red hat covering her face.

"Good evening, is everyone enjoying the event?" I can only see her lips so I can say that she is flashing everyone a very wide smile.

The people around me cheered, "Happy to hear that. So all of us are here to celebrate a special occasion. To give thanks to our beloved earth am I right everyone?"

"Yes!" They shouted.

"I'm so proud of everyone." She said, walking around the stage, "And for the highlight of this event, is the dinner time. All delicacies are produced here in South Korea to honor our farmlands and producers."

And just like that, sets of food lined up in the empty tables.

"Everyone, don't hesitate to satisfy yourself. All the food served are very tasty." She speaks, "now, everyone must be hungry so... Begin." She smirked before leaving the stage.

The people crowded around the tables to get their own food. My classmates dragged me as well.

I don't have the appetite to eat but I know that I need to be healthy.

After getting the amount of food that is enough for me, I took a deep sigh.

Taking a chopstick.

Picking the food.

Moving it to my mouth.

Chewing it.

And gulping it.

It tastes good.

And just as I was going to take another bite, my vision got blurry and everyone in front of me collapsed.

One by one.

Until everything went black.

Baekhyun's POV

How dumb of me to think that Taeyong would be easy to find.

I forgot how capable he is in doing his own tricks. I always knew that he is more that what he has shown.

"Let's check everything, he must've left a sign or any clue." I said, focused on a shelf of books.

He is a guy full of mysteries and wonders. A treasure with a lost key, an island in a vast sea.

The color of his room irritates me, I didn't speak it out loud but the red paint of his room makes me feel that this space is full of tragic.

I wonder what he has been through all this time.

He never told anyone about his whereabouts. No one knew how he treated Mark when they were still at Earth.

And another thing, Mark is also missing.

Ten tried to track where he is but this cheeky boy just had to leave his Support in his room.

We contacted Lucas and Haeshan to ask if he is with them. The three of them bond a lot. But the two just said they don't know and they are willing to offer help.

But we declined their offer because this is our own matter and problem.

Except Lucas, he is in charge of visiting all the places Mark knew.

We notified Kai as well and knowing him, he quickly checked if his spherah is missing.

When that happened earlier, when I called him through telepathy and I saw how disappointed he was.

I thought that he will be angry and furious but he showed me a sad and disappointed face.

And there I realized, maybe during their training days. All those scoldings Mark received from Jong In, maybe Kai also felt kindness towards him.

Mark will be so screwed after this.

"Is there anything?" Taemin asks from my back, his fingers fidgeting themselves.

I looked at him in sadness, shaking my head no as an answer to his question.

He nodded at my answer then after a few minutes, he told me that he will go to the other corners of this vast buildings of ours to investigate.

But I doubt that.

Knowing him, he is more likely to stay in his room and question his purpose as the leader of our group and such.

I sit on Taeyong's bed, as usual his room is neat and wiped dry and clean.

It would've been better though if he will remove these withered roses on his bedside table.

I tried to examine it, picking one, careful of the sharp and pointy thorns. The petals are dead already but the stem still have very healthy thorns.

I just shrugged my thoughts off and I put the flower back, not forgetting to arrange it for him.

I lay on his bed for comfort.

And now it makes sense.

His ceiling.

If you will look at it just standing beside the doorway, you'll be bothered by the bizarre shapes and designs that are painted above.

If you will walk around to understand the concept of it, it looks like random shades of red scattered above.

But now I understand how elegant this room is.

The red paints are splotched above the ceiling to symbolize blood that will pour down.

It's like an artwork of a rain but the color is crimson red.

And I can say now that Taeyong himself is elegant.

His natural aura, his unique charisma and approach to the things he does. He is special in his own way.

Feeling my breathing for a while, Bacon (my support) rings, I think that someone is calling. I fished my support out, it's Kai.

"Anything?"

"He stole it."

"Wha-"

He quickly ended the call. I wanted to ask more but he just shut me off.

Mark's POV

After what I said, Jeno immediately pulled me out of the room.

"Where were you?" He asked furiously and I knew myself that I can't answer that.

I gulped, "I can't tell you now."

He clicks his tongue, "So you keep secrets now."

I pursed my lips, "Just tell me what happened to him."

He nodded slowly calming down, "Yesterday, there was a celebration held everywhere around the world. Everyone was invited but we declined since we decided to have a picnic at our usual spot instead."

"But Jaemin was forced to go to the event by his classmates. The food they ate have some sort of something in it. You can guess what happened next." He explains.

My brows furrow, "Who are these people?"

He massages his temples, "The government is still investigating." He gives out a deep sigh, "The thing is, there are weird things happening to the patients."

"What is it?"

"Dimentia and eating disorders happened to them. They also get bruises from time to time." He said.

I don't know who caused this plague but I can say that this is the end of the world the supremes are talking about.

Who are those people who did this to them?

Why did they do this?

We both just kept silent until Renjun got out of the room, "Guys, get in." He calls us.

Me and Jeno got inside the room, focusing on the television just like what the others are doing.

The cause of the plague is still not determined but it is now named.

The disease which causes dimentia, eating disorders and bruises to patients is called Rivus.

It is expected to see more from this disease, the study showed that it can't be transmitted by human contact.

But food products have been investigated for having the same contents that are possibly present in the event's menu.

So all are advised to have their supplies inspected by the authorities and are advised as well to not buy much stock of food.

Be cautious everyone, the police are still investigating for the mysterious woman who spoked during the event.

Let's offer our deepest support to the patients and their families.

After the news, a series of commercials appear on the screen.

I stood up, walking towards Jaemin. I held his hand, sealing it tightly with mine.

"Don't worry Nana, you will be okay." I tried to smile the pain away.

He pouts, pulling his hand from my grip, "Don't touch me I don't know who you are." He turns to one side, "Jisungie my son, where are you?"

Jisung flashes me a very sad smile as he hugs Jaemin.

"Once they will be treated, everything will be okay." Jeno says.

I turned to Donghyuck, trying to read his eyes while saying 'sorry' in my mind.

He blinks, not trying to look at me in the eyes, leaving after.

I feel so guilty, I can help make all this stop but here I am, doing nothing.

I have to go back and find Taeyong hyung to finally put an end to all of this.

Ten's POV

I kept on panting, my hands repeatedly pulling drawers. Baekhyun hyung left to eat dinner and that's when I had the chance to sneak in and search for this material.

I bit my lip, it's been a few minutes, he'll be back any time soon.

I used my support to track where he is in the building. If he is on his way back, I must go.

Too bad, he is on his way here.

I just kept on searching until I opened a cabinet, only a piece of paper is in it but I still read the content of the paper.

The Red Pill

I found it, I found the thing that I have been searching ever since I knew that Mark took this.

I folded the paper hurriedly, slipping it to my pocket. Wiping my sweat first before going out of the lab.

I checked the tracker function, he's just in another corner.

I locked the door and when I looked at my left side, someone familiar greets me.

"Why are you in a hurry Ten?" Baekhyun asks, whistling as he walks.

I let out an awkward chuckle, "I have to go to the cr." I lied.

How dumb of me to think of that.

"We have our own comfort rooms. Is yours not functioning? And your room is there." He points at his back, wondering why I'm here when the other comfort room is on the lower floor.

"Yeah, I think it's broken. I came here because I was too puzzled to think, I'm sorry." I walk past him.

He giggled, "That doesn't sound like you but all people do that so yeah."

I nodded as I walked fast to avoid him. Not forgetting to smirk as I got the procedure in making the red pill that I wanted the most.
