His eyes opened, his mouth was stiched up, or that was what he felt. Breathing just like through a straw and his nose was runny. His movements were in slow motion, yet he still tried to free his mouth but it was useless.

Panicking, he walked around the pure-white room that seemed endless, but with no chance of escaping. It was just him and his unheard muffled scream. Trying to calm himself down from struggling, Jang turned around, while he saw, on the other side of the room, a skin to bone human who tried to open a whole in the mosaic plating of the floor with it's bleeding fingers from the constant try.

Jang widened his eyes, and confused as he was, he tried to help him with the broken hole made with it's fingers that tainted all the part around the small hole, with dark red and pale-red colors.

Raising his eyebrows, the boy jumped his head inside the whole. Jang went in to a closer look and saw that it was a pond with dirty water.

The boy quickly raised his head from inside the pond and carefuly looked at Jang with it's bright-red-pupil eyes, while the dirty water was rapidly dripping from the top of his body and sliding on his meatless body.

"JAN-!"
Screamed the boy, giving away a slight smile, but his sentence was stopped by Jang's awake from his sleep with a large gasp, sweat dots slowly falling down off his chin and onto his shirt sleeve. 

Waking half of his body just like someone had spook or jumpscare him in his sleep. He opened his sleepy eyes and took a panicked look around. Cramps and muscle soreness dominated his whole body. As he yawned and stretched his back bit by bit and seconds after he untucked himself and carefuly looked again, Jang realised that Mikey and Johan, his friends were in the same room as him. 

He continuously switched his look from Johan who had a bandage cover the lower part of his face and a small part of his chest, the rest was from his body was covered by the clothes, and to Mikey, who was playing with the objects from the room just like a playful orange cat.

Jang was calm, almost too calm, he just comforted his forearms on his knees and locked his fingers and continued looking at Johan with a pair of twitching eyes, which was one of his ticks when he was nervous.

"Let's continue outside (does a gesture with his thumb that follows the place behind him)"

Said Jang, breaking the sudden silence

"I do not care about this home, we came with one single question"

"Oh really? (chuckles) what is that?"

"Why?"
Asked Johan, grunting his eyes as his eyes redacted a dangerous look and his mouth was held in place just like 

concrete placement.

Jang scoffed, which was followed by a chuckle and a click of his tongue, then the next response was something that he carefuly thought it out.

"It's not your life, you didn't want to do this, am I right or wrong, Johan?"

His words looked like they impacted on Johan's personality, releasing a blast of cooldown on his words and a raise of his eyebrows, while Mikey was waiting for Johan's response, sitting quietly on top of a wardrobe's shelf.

"It's actually true, Star user, but why... (looks another way and flexes mouth muscle a few times, then looks back). Do you think that you did both of us a favor, is that what you think?"

Jang did not say anything, he just waited Johan out.

"(Chuckles then the chuckles quickly fades away) Mikey is better now, so I will give you a warning. (Sits up from the chair and looks into Jang's eyes and says with a slow voice) I will work my power until my blood will burst out from my veins and my back turns to stone from constant use of it"

Johan walked towards the window and Mikey jumped down from the shelf. Jang watched them with a slight smile and the release of his forearms from his knees, switching to a more comfortable position with his elbows on his leg muscles and his wrists relaxing naturally.

Johan waited himself and held his balance on the edge of the window and peeked behind him with a dissapointed look on his face and hatred in his eyes

"That was the last time I will lose"

Then he jumped off. Mikey quickly followed him, but before he would leave, he showed a cartoon character as a plushie figurine.

"Do you want to keep it?"
Gently asked Jang.

Mikey looked at the figurine then he quickly nodded at Jang, paciently waiting for his response

"(Chuckles joyfuly) You can have it, Mikey"

Mikey smiled with his eyes. It could not be fully seen because of the mask that he was wearing on his mouth, but Jang knew that Mikey appreciated his gift.

Mikey slowly approached the window too, walking backwards for a few steps, then giving out a piece sign with two of his fingers from one of his hands while being mid-air jump out of the window.

One second after, Jang heard a thud of his shoes on the concrete and a quick pace of the stepping on the ground.

Jang put himself back on the bed, laying down on it. Seconds passing and he was still looking at the roof of his room, zoning out totally

"Why do you hate me this much, Johan?"
Asked Jang himself with a pair of grunting and saddened eyes.

Minutes after, Jang realised something, quickly waking himself up from the bed.

"It's almost noon!"

He almost forgot forgot about his date with Soso, the girl from the party that charmed him all the way .He headed  to the shower, and saw a green paste that was put all over his muscles.

After the shower he put his casual clothes on, the black t-shirt and ripped jeans, with a pair of white shoes.

"Where is mom when I need her the most to wake me up... oh, yeah, I forgot, she went on that business trip"

Heading outside, he closed the door behind him.

*Outside Jang's house*

Soso was already there waiting for him.  She welcomed him like a prince, jokingly making both of them chuckle.

She reached out for his cold hands, warming his left arm in a matter of a touch, while warming the inside of his heart too.

"So... I was thinking about that restaurant you told me about"

"About that korean food restaurant?"

"YES! I was thinking that It doesn't sound that bad, wanna go there?"

She gazed into his eyes, carefuly waiting for his response, while patting the back of his head with his palm, looking up at the sky, thinking about his choice.

"Sure, (chuckles) why not?"

*On a bridge somewhere near close to them*

"How much can you keep the lies coming forward in your life? Jang... Ho"

Narrated the unknown voice from inside a cold shadow. He launched a very thin paper plane in their direction that eyeed Jang's movements like he was playing a mini-game.
