*Xiumin's POV*

    So much for home sweet home. I frowned looking at the mess that stupid reaper left behind. It just had to trash everything.

    "Kyungsoo, hey there was a reaper here- uh yeah we're sure-" (Y/N) said into her phone looking out the window where the dead cat was "okay yeah, will do- Be safe- Thanks" She put her phone away looking towards JB

    "What'd he say?" JB asked kicking some broken dishes out of his way

    "They are going to hunt around the area we are in now, to see if they find it. He said to be careful it may come back" She explained as we all nodded

    "What was it looking for, do you know?" Mark turned his attention towards me as I shook my head

    "No idea" I answered starting to pick up the mess left behind

    "Well lets hope whatever it was, it didn't find it" JB chimmend in

     We all slowly started cleaning up my place. We started in the living room where most of the mess was. It felt weird seeing all my things after so long. Feels like a time capsule or something. Being alive again isn't something you get used to so quickly. I sighed hearing (Y/N) laugh.

    She was laughing, but with Mark. They were both cleaning up the other side of the room, while I was with JB. They keep whispering to each other and laughing together.

    You're jealous. Yeah, I'm really jealous. Why is she so close to Mark all of a sudden. I know she is close with everyone but with Mark it's different. I just wanted to grab her hand and drag her to my side and to leave him alone.

    Maybe I should tell her. Chen is right, I do want to be more than friends. Since day one, (Y/N) has always been on my mind. I thought it was because something clicked the moment I saw her but in reality, I like her. I wonder if she heard what we were talking about in the room. Is that why she's keeping her distance?

    "Xiumin!" JB shouted as I quickly looked at him

    "Wh-What?" I asked

    "Are you even listening to me?"

    "Yeah, of course I am" I said

    "Okay so then let's do what I suggested" JB said tossing away some trash

    "What did you suggest?" I asked confused as he groaned in annoyance

    "Let's just grab whatever you have on your father and leave, we can't really hang around and clean the whole place up, sorry to break it to you" he explained. I hesitated but quickly changed my mind

    "Good idea" I let go of the broom I had and headed towards my bedroom as he followed

    Hopefully that thing didn't come across the secret compartment. All the important things are there. I've actaully never looked inside of the box, my mom always said to keep it safe. The idea to see what's inside never came to mind

     I went to my closet and slid all my clothes out of the way looking for the small crack on the back wall. Lightly knocking on the wall till I found the soft spot and elbowed it hard. The thin wall fell to the floor leaving a hole.

    "I thought we were cleaning your house not trashing it more" Mark questioned behind me

    "What are you doing?" (Y/N) asked

    I didn't answer them and reached in the hole with both hands. I touched the inside looking for the old box. Finally finding it, I pulled it out of the wall dropping it on the floor infront of everyone, smiling at myself.
