Alarms going off, Sungrin and Minhee casually walk out of the convenience store, hiding the food they took. Minhee looks into surveillance camera one more time and changes her eye color so people who look into it will forget this ever happened.
“Let’s go.”

H O S E O K
We were exiting our dorm, only to hear the convenience store’s alarms going off and police sirens.
Oh man holy shizzle. Jungkook’s in there.
“Jungkook!” All 6 of us scream. We burst into the store, to find policemen looking around.
Jimin gently taps a police officer’s shoulder, “Excuse me, officer? Have you seen a young man wearing a white shirt with timberlands?” He asks.
“And who might you young men be?” He asks, suspicion lacing his tone. “We’re his best friends.” Taehyung mentions. The officer nods, “He’s in that room.” He points to a door with a sign saying, ‘Staff Only.’ on it. “Thank you.” The 6 of us bow to him and head to the room. Namjoon knocks, “Come in.” A voice says. “Is Jungkook here?” I ask.
“Hyungs!” Jungkook calls out from the corner. “Jungkook! Thank God you’re safe.” Jin hyung runs to him.
I was about to do the same, but I caught a glance of the footage on the screens. There were 2 girls. Probably 3 cm shorter than Jimin. The girl with a black turtleneck turned around, but before I could see anything else, the commotion from the corner distracted me.
“Aish! You broke the chair Jungkook was sitting on!” Jin hyung stomped his feet.
“Sorry!” Namjoon apologizes multiple times.
Namjoon broke the chair, I facepalmed. And now Jungkook’s on the floor, rubbing his rear.
“Huh? What am I doing here?” The police officer that was studying the footage asks. “Last thing I remembered was going to the bathroom.” The officer scratched the back of his head. One of the officer’s colleagues were extremely confused by his friend’s behavior but told him anyway.
That’s weird. How did he not know what was he here for when just minutes ago, he was already doing his job?
“Oh...So someone barged into the shop?” The officer asked and his friend nods. “Let’s go now, we might want to leave the police alone and let them do their thing.” Yoongi hyung bid goodbye to the officers, same for us.
When we exit the convenience store, I spotted 2 familiar figures walking down the road. The 2 girls... “Guys! Look! It’s the 2 girls from the footage!” I whisper-shout. “What? Are you sure it’s them?” Jin hyung looked at me, an eyebrow raised. “Positive. They’re even wearing the exact clothes they wore on the footage!” I point out. “He’s right, hyung. I saw it too.” Jungkook remarks, narrowing his eyes at the 2 girls.
“How can they just steal snacks from a convenience store and eat them looking like they have no shame?” Taehyung ’tsk’ed. “I guess they do this often.” Namjoon shrugs. “They do.” Jimin corrects, showing us his phone.
It was an article of 2 girls spotted stealing snacks from convenience stores 4 times. But they all looked different. The article also mentioned that they always look into the camera whenever they’re about to leave.
The girl was turning around...She was going to look into the camera...
“How ’bout we follow them?” I suddenly blurt out. They looked at me in shock, before nodding. Even Yoongi hyung. “I feel like an officer now. We just need a gun, police car, and sirens-” Taehyung got cut off when Jin hyung hit the back of his head.
“They’re almost out of our sight! Let’s hurry!” We run as fast as we can. When we were close enough, the 7 of us stopped running and started speed walking. They were walking towards an alleyway. “What would they need in an alleyway?” I whisper in the quietest voice I could manage. “I don’t know.” Namjoon shrugs, but fear was evident in his expression.
At this point, we were going towards a dead end. The 2 girls suddenly stop in their tracks. One of them reach their hand out, and the other places her palm on it. The colors light blue and black started escaping from their palms. What the actual- My thoughts were cut off when I heard a twig snap, causing the girls to stop.
Something fell from the girl’s pocket and rolled all the way over to my shoe. We all look down to find nothing making contact with my shoe. When we looked back up, the girls weren’t there anymore. Instead, they were right behind us. We made eye contact with the both of them and their eye color immediately changed.
I was getting dizzy when darkness finally took over me.

I woke up to my alarm, Up & Down by EXID. What happened? I thought we were following 2 girls last night. Ok, that just sounds extremely creepy. I was about to get up from my position until I heard a groan from Jimin on his bed. “Yo, Jimin-ah...What happened?” I ask, sitting up with my eyes closed.
“All I remember is following 2 girls to see what they’re up to.” He remarks, sounding like he was wide awake.
“Chim, did you even sleep?” I ask. “I did, and woke up early, then started thinking about what happened last night.” He yawns.
“Oh, and hyung, I cooked breakfast.” Jimin mentions. I nod and headed downstairs. Bacon? Well, that’s different. “I GOT IT!” Namjoon came running down the stairs. “I GOT THE ANSWER, HYUNG!” He dances around.
“Speak up, IQ of 148.” I sip on my cup of iced tea. “How we got here and can’t remember a thing about how we got here.” I nod. “We just looked into the girls’ eyes and fainted. And strangely lost our memory of that moment.” Namjoon shrugs. My eyes widen, “I REMEMBER NOW!” I hit him multiple times out of excitement. “OW! OW! OOW!” He tries to pry my hands off of him.
“But what were those blue and black misty things coming out of their hands?” I got serious and asked. “...Magic?” Namjoon looks at me then we burst out laughing. “Impossible...Right?” I looked at him, unsure. “Nah...It’s really impossible.” Namjoon grabs his cup of coffee and sits on the couch as he turns on the TV.
“OH SH- I MEAN JIMIN’S NON-EXISTENT JAMS!” Namjoon corrected himself and spilled coffee on him when he saw a glaring Jin hyung coming downstairs, a fake-crying Jimin behind him.
“I HAVE JAMS HYUNG!” Jimin denies. “No, you don’t.” Joon ignores the short man.
“Well, you have no moves,” Jimin mutters.
Namjoon choked on his coffee, “OH SHI- Excuse my language, BUT IT’S THE SAME GIRLS FROM BEFORE! THEY TOOK SNACKS AGAIN!” Joon points at the flat TV screen. “KIDS! GET YOUR LAZY PEACHES UP AND GRAB A COAT! WE SPOTTED THE GIRLS!” Jin hyung yells. “Wait, hyung, you’re actually agreeing to go?” Jungkook came down wearing a white shirt and timberlands...again.
“Stealing is a crime, Jungkook.” Yoongi hyung and Taehyung say in unison, coming from upstairs. “Exactly.” Jin hyung nods and raises a thumbs-up at Taehyung and Yoongi hyung.
“Let’s go!” Taehyung exits the house by skipping. “There they are.” Namjoon points at the 2 familiar figures. “Come on then!” Yoongi hyung speed walks ahead of us. They were having a conversation,
“How many times do we have to do this?”
“When Hyerim is comfortable with the amount of food we give her.”
“Aish...I’m tired of going back and forth to our world, and this human world.”
“Same. But she’s our older than us. And she can drown us, y’know.”
“Ugh...I forgot she was the princess of Aqua..”
“Well...Seomi is also the princess of Ignis.”
“I hate being the princess of Tenebris..”
“I’m happy I’m the princess of Ventus, the air’s so fresh..”
“Let’s just go find the alleyway and leave.”
They both end their conversation and started speed walking. Damn, they’re fast.
We arrive at the alleyway again, but this time, there were people wearing black all over waiting. “C’mon, malus. You don’t have to hide yourselves. Muta populo." One of them scoff.
One of the muta populo comes forward and sends a punch to her face. But she (Sungrin) quickly blocks it with her forearm, swiftly grabs it’s arm with both hands and knees his elbow. She threw him to the ground and stepped on both of his hands using her heels.
We heard cracking noises. ‘It’ hissed in pain. And a pool of blood started forming right beneath his hands.
Oh my, she really doesn’t show mercy.
Another one of them lunges toward the other girl, who was whistling. He sends her a kick, which she (Minhee) also swiftly dodges, grabs his arm, and simply throws him over her.
Ouch. He fell face first.
She grabbed him and started to beat him up. After, she threw him to the ground, dusting off her hands.
He got up, his nose looking dislocated, bruises and cuts everywhere. It was such a disgusting sight.
“Bitch!” The guy held his nose.
“F*ck you!” The other man held his now, broken arm. And covered his hands.
“Get lost. You’re polluting the air with your presence. And you clearly know that I don’t want that.” The girl glared daggers at the man.
“And, do us a favor and come back when you’re stronger, weakling.” The other girl kicks the man where the sun doesn’t shine.
“Ohh!” We all whisper-shout in amusement.
“He’ll come back for Orbis, bitches.” All of the men disappeared.
“Pfft.” The girls contained their laughter.
The last thing I saw was them turning around, and darkness.
Again. Ugh.

I woke up with a heavy headache, when I was finally wide awake, I realize we were all tied up in- “VINES?!” I shriek, causing all the hyungs to wake up.
“VI-” They were cut off, “Yeah, yeah. We get it. You’re trapped in vines in a dark room.” A feminine voice spoke, fear arising beneath my skin. I could clearly imagine the woman rolling her eyes.
They finally turn on the lights. I squint my eyes since I wasn’t used to this much light. It was as bright as Hoseok hyung.
Thanks to the light, there revealed 7 girls. Each and every one of them narrowing their eyes suspiciously at us.
I notice their necklaces.
Seven different colors.
Red, blue, green, light blue, purple, white, and charcoal. Each with a different symbol.
Fire...Water...Earth...Wind...Lightning...Ice...And darkness? What are those for?
I see the girl with the green necklace nudge the others and widen her eyes at their necklaces. They immediately hide it.
Weird. It’s like she read my mind or something.
“WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!” Hoseok hyung struggled out of the vines.
“Welcome to our world, Orbis.”
