Each of the boys awoke as a knock on their doors sounded. With groggy groans and half-opened eyes, they pulled themselves up and lazily walked to the door.

Who would be up at this hour?
When the doors opened, no one stood in the doorway.
A small bottle stood at their feet, glistening under the porch lights.

The nine of them picked up the glass, a small note tied to it.
"Drink this, or die at the test tomorrow."

Each looked up, catching eyes with someone.

Chan with Woojin.
Changbin with Felix.
Jisung with Minho.
I.N. with Hyunjin.
Your empty doorstep with Seungmin.

With heavy hesitancy, they each gulped down the clear liquid.
