(3) Up Where We Will Be
Seunghan: First plan of action, go through the purchase history of everyone in the country and see who bought a fushigi in the past week or so.
Jiwoong: That will take up entirely too much time.
Sohee: What if we're thinking too obvious here? Maybe the culprit isn't even on this planet.
Everyone looks at Sohee, hoping we will elaborate on what he means.
Sohee: What I mean is, the UFO was hit by the ball in the sky. So it's highly likely that someone, or something, that moves around up there is what attacked the alien.
Seunghan: Well, what can we do about it? If he goes back up there when the UFO is fixed, he could get attacked again.
Anton: We can go with him.
Wonbin: No, we can not.
Anton: Yes, we can. If we go up there with him, maybe we can see what attacked him and stop it.
Sungchan: Anton, you're a smart person so please explain to me how you think we are supposed to sardine can ourselves into that UFO and fly into space with an alien?
Anton: It won't be too cramped, the UFO is pretty large and we have fit in a smart car before.
Jiwoong: But smart cars have two seats? How-
Anton: Don't ask.
Eunseok: So are we genuinely considering going to space? If we are, I need to call my parents and let them know.
Sohee: Me too. Also, babe, are you coming with us?
Jiwoong: I can't. I have to go back to my group because if I go more than 24 hours without checking on them, the house will become a night club.
Sohee: Right. You have your own alien at home so you can't stay with this one.
Jiwoong: If one more person says he is an alien, I'm going to do something very harmful to you.
Shotaro: Okay all jokes aside, are we doing this or not? We kind of need to start preparing.
The group, including Jiwoong and Alien, all look at Wonbin.
Wonbin: *sighs* Everyone...get your backpacks. We're going to space!
------------------------------------------------------------
Preparations were in full swing for the greatest adventure in the lives of the seven members of Riize.
Jiwoong was continuing to work on the ship, occasionally turning around to see Sohee peeking at him because he had taken off his outer shirt and was wearing just a black muscle shirt instead.
In the kitchen, Anton was looking through the drawers for helpful materials.
Anton: Do we own a turkey injector?
Shotaro: Why do you need that?
Anton: You never know when you need to stick a large needle in something.
Shotaro: You never know because you never do that. Unless it's a turkey.
In the living room, Wonbin was nervously cleaning up in preparation for the space journey, while being watched by the alien.
Wonbin: Uh, am I in your way?
Alien: No.
Wonbin: Cool. I'll be over there.
The alien watches Wonbin scurry to the other side of the living room.
Seunghan comes in, seeing Wonbin taking careful glances at the alien.
Seunghan: Uh, you okay there? He's not gonna bite.
Wonbin: Are we sure about that?
Seunghan: You have to trust him if we're going to be in a spaceship with him.
Wonbin: Maybe I'll trust him after we make it where we're going. Anyways, I've been meaning to talk to you.
Seunghan: You have? About what?
Wonbin puts the items he held down onto the coffee table, and walks over to Seunghan.
Wonbin: What are you going to do about the...situation?
Seunghan: I'll figure it out. I mean...I have some time right?
Wonbin: You might, but you never know when you'll get that fateful email.
Seunghan: Yeah, it's been on my mind for these past few weeks.
Wonbin: Well, just keep an eye out.
Sohee: For what?
They both jump back at the sound of Sohee's voice from right next to Seunghan.
Wonbin: Oh, I was saying to keep an eye out for the alien. Right Seunghan?
Seunghan: Yeah. For the alien. Just want to make sure he's safe for you all.
He ruffles Sohee's hair, slightly nodding to Wonbin before leaving the room.
Sohee turns to Wonbin, his expression questioning.
Sohee: I know you weren't talking about Alien.
Wonbin: Sohee, just leave it alone. We can't talk about it now.
Sohee: Don't we deserve to know what's happening with him? Is it the reason why he doesn't want to stay here?
Wonbin: No, okay. Just leave it alone.
Wonbin goes back to cleaning up, leaving Sohee standing with a confused expression.
What secrets are they keeping from him?
Instantly, he went to the kitchen and saw Anton still standing there.
Sohee: Hey. Where did Taro go?
Anton: Upstairs to pack his backpack. Why?
Sohee pulls Anton to the side in the kitchen, looking around for any other members.
Sohee: Wonbin and Seunghan are keeping secrets.
Anton: About what?
Sohee: I think it has something to do with whu Seunghan is adamant he won't stay here.
Anton: Hmm...it could be any reason. What should we do? Should we ask Seunghan?
Sohee: Wonbin told me to leave it alone. It makes me think it's something bad. We should wait for a better time to ask.
Anton: Maybe we threaten to leave him in space if he doesn't tell us...
Sohee: Wouldn't he like...die...if we did that?
Anton: Exactly. Wait...that's a bad thing.
