"Good luck saving your home Nova, because this isn't mine anymore."
I ran as fast as I could, but it was no match for Jin. His body was dodging people going by, almost running into poles, signs. But he dodged them all.
The rest of us followed him, trying to do the same.
I was out of breath when we finally made it to his house, and my expression darkened when I saw the front door wide open, a knife in the door holding a white piece of paper.
"Eomma! Appa!" (Mom, dad). Jin screams as he runs inside without us.
The others finally caught up, seemingly shocked as well.
Im the first one going in after Jin. My eyes examine the mess that was made.
Chairs were torn, turned over. Lamps shattered, plates thrown. Dents in the walls, tables moved and broken.
I didn't know how to breath.
"Eomma! Answer me!" I'm suddenly reminded of what's happening, my eyes widen as I run towards jins voice, and air no longer existed.
Your parents were laying on the floor, hands and feet tied together. Their were bruises on your father, probably from him fighting back. They're was strangle marks on their necks.
What the hell happened?
"Call an ambulance! Now!" Jin yells at me, I pull out my phone and dial the police.
You've gone missing, and now your parents are hurt.. or worse.
I thought everything was perfect...
But maybe I was wrong.
——
"They'll be fine, they were only strangled enough to make them pass out. They shouldn't have any serious injuries." the police officer says, i sigh of relief, Jin doing the same.
"Oh thank god."
"Do you have any clues as to who did this?" Jin blinks a few times before saying-
"No."
We were still at your house, police crawling everywhere, your friends walking around, one of them looking at the sheet of paper that was left on the door.
"Guys." Jaebum whispers, his hands shaking as he read the words. "We should go home." Now Jin and I were facing them, paying attention to the conversation. The police officer walks away, joining the others in looking for clues.
Rose raised her eyebrow, crossing her arms.
"And why is that?"
"Remember that day when you peeked out your window? You saw me that day, yet you tried to hide from me even though you owe me. Now, you leave me no choice. Xoxo, Nova."
Rose and Taos eyes widen, both looking at eachother before looking at us.
"F*ck."
"You four go ahead, call us when you find something." I tell her, showing her my phone number. She raises her eyebrow, before reluctantly saving it in her phone.
"I'll text you later pretty boys, if we don't contact you in an hour, come find us." She says before signaling her friends to follow.
Baekhyun's eyes stay on me a little too long before he finally walked away.

It's been 12 hours since your house was broken into, 60 hours since you were last seen.
My life, my vision were bland. My heart only beating in hopeful rhythms. We all were still staying at you and jins house, since we all thought it would be best if we were together.
Yesterday when your friends went back to their apartment, it was in the same shape as your house was. Yet there wasn't a clue, at all to where you were.
Everything was a dead end.
We all met up again earlier today, they talked about Nova. I didn't know how to feel when I heard jins past with her, how regretful he was that he kept it all a secret.
If he knew she was still around, he would have been more careful.
Now his sister is taken, and his parents are recovering.
I can't imagine how he's feeling.
Even rose had regrets, which was odd to see that side of her. I always thought of her as... dark?
"I guess you aren't the only one who feels that way."
I've always seen them as bad people, well, I still kind of do. But I seem them in more light now, seeing how they care for you, it made something in me unlock.
Since we told the boys what happened, they are all coming here as soon as Possible, they were also hurt about what happened, seeing as this was worse than we could have ever thought.
I should have never left.
"What are you doing out here alone?" My eyes open, the moonlight suddenly sinking in. I turn my head to the door, seeing a tall figure there.
"Just, thinking."
"Can I join you?" I shrug. He sits beside me on the front porch, i only close my eyes again, pictures of you claimed my eyelids.
"I know you hate me, but we both have something in common."
"Hmm."
"We both love her." My eyes slowly open, looking over at the boy who looked out at the sky.
"You have a freaky way of showing it." He sighs, his head fell.
"She told you what happened didn't she?"
"She didn't have to, you made sure everyone could see it." I bark, my anger suddenly rising.
"I have no excuses for that, I just- something is wrong with me. Whenever I think of her, I snap. I go insane, it's a switch I can't control. I either want to- love her or hurt her." He whispers the last few words, obviously being affected by his own reality.
"I don't want to, I want her to be happy. But that d*mn island f*cked all of us up." I sigh, nodding my head, leaning back against the outside wall.
"For once I agree with you on something." He turns to look at me.
"I'm not asking for forgiveness, but I just want you to understand, that anything I will possibly do to her. Just- I don't want to, that's not me. If I ever do anything, please, do anything it takes to stop me. I can't wake up to figure out she's afraid of me."
And for the first time ever, I tears starting to fall down his cheeks.
"I- I hate myself for doing such thing to her. I- I'm dying inside each day knowing what the other half of my body is wanting to do. I- I love her so much, she was my first best friend, she relied on me, I relied on her. And I betrayed her in the end, I tried to kill her. And I don't know what I'll do next." The moon shines on his tears, his eyes shine, revealing the pain behind them.
And I have no idea what to say.
——
"Let go of me!" I scream, as the man tightens his grip on my wrist.
"And what makes you think I'll do that? I'm just doing my orders" He then throws you in a room, slamming the door. It was pitch black, it was also small, almost the size of a small bedroom, not the same room you had before. Only a simple blanket and a bottle of water was in the room.
"Why? Why are you locking me here again!"
"Nova already explained to you that, we can't have you running around free can we? This is where you'll be staying for the rest of your time." My face paled, even if he couldn't see me, he knew what my reaction was.
"Oh come on sunshine, we can't let your kind live on. Did you really think after all this we would just let you go? You naive girl."
Stars started to appear in my vision, I was suddenly so small, so scared and insignificant.
I was never afraid of dying before, but now... somethings changed in me. The fire in my soul hasn't died yet.
I look at my finger, where my ring was, but now was empty.
I- I miss you Taehyung. Please, please be okay. I'll find a way out of this, just stay safe.
