*23. March*
[A]
HeeChul waited quietly for the right moment. The cars were slowing down to a stop. That was when HeeChul slipped out of the luggage trunk and rolled onto the ground. The policemen didn't seem to notice, HeeChul realized with relief.
The student quickly rushed around a corner to hide. His heart was racing as he was standing with the back to the wall of the now empty boarding school.
HeeChul's body shuddered, but he tossed his thoughts aside. He was here to look for his boyfriend. He just hoped he was still alive and HeeChul will find him soon.
HeeChul tried to open a door. It wasn't locked. HeeChul sneaked in. It was empty and dark. Only the faint light from the sun behind grey clouds was making it brighter.
HeeChul inhaled deeply, before he finally ran along the hallway. He was quiet though and tried to listen to his surroundings in hope to hear SiWon's voice.
HeeChul opened the first door. It was a small office. No one was there. It looked messy. The owner had probably taken some important stuff which he had to search for before escaping.
In the next four rooms, it looked exactly the same. No evidence of SiWon.
So HeeChul went upstairs. He wanted to pass the room with all the dead bodies, but stopped. His heart seemed to burst as he slowly opened the door, afraid to see SiWon's dead body there as well.
But the room was completely empty. Nothing was there. Not even the coffins from before.
So HeeChul headed for another room. His breath hitched, remembering the room in front of him even though he had never been in there. His hand immediately reached for the scar on his shoulder when he entered the room. A big, destroyed computer with other equipment was filling the room. The computer had been connected to the chip which was still inside HeeChul's body.
HeeChul swallowed, but here was no one either. He came closer to a small table. Papers were carelessly on and around it.
HeeChul's heart was starting to hurt. Would he be able to find SiWon ever again? Wasn't it crazy to just walk in here? Surely, no one was there anymore.
The student looked sadly through the papers, getting desperate by the ticking minutes.
He groaned in despair and stood up again to search for a hint. Nothing. HeeChul screamed as he kicked at the computer. This had destroyed his life. Without the chip, SiWon and he could have escaped. No one would have been able to find them.
But the past had passed. It was too late. He was missing.
Tears finally filled HeeChul's eyes. "SiWon...SiWonnie...," he whimpered between sobs and sank to the floor. "Help...," he faintly pleaded. Big tears rolled down his cheeks. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know where to look or if SiWon was still alive. But he couldn't let his hope fade away.
Crying was the only thing he knew he could do now. No one was seeing it. No one was here. So he might as well let it all out.
Only after some minutes of crying, he finally stopped. "Where are you now?" he wondered with a sniff as he wiped the tears away.
But unfortunately, no one was answering. HeeChul didn't know if he really expected someone to do so.
He wanted to stand up when his gaze stopped on a paper next to himself on the ground. It was a small note.
'0735 to UG. Through 66
HeeChul stared at it for a full minute after realizing that 0735 was SiWon's name. His heart jumped as HeeChul's mind processed what stood there. He didn't know what UG meant, but he knew that 66 probably was a room. All the time HeeChul had spent here, he had gotten to know many rooms. Most of the men had named them by numbers which even stood outside each room.
HeeChul desperately tried to remember if he had been in room 66 ever, or, if not, then were it might be.
He shoved the small note into his pocket before he got up from the floor to leave the room.
Turning around the next corner, HeeChul found his old room in which he had stayed with KiBum for a while.
He looked sadly inside to the empty beds. KiBum was dead now. He had gone insane in here. HeeChul felt pity for him and wondered just how long the other student had been kept in here.
"KiBum...," HeeChul whispered quietly and wanted to go inside, but stopped all of a sudden. He finally remembered a room, which might have the number 66. Quickly turning around, HeeChul ran toward the direction. He looked hopefully at the sign outside the room. 'ROOM 65'
A sigh of disappointment left HeeChul's mouth when he realized this. It was not the right room.
He immediately rushed to the rooms nearby. Room 64. Room 63. Room 67. Room 68. Room 69. But no 66.
"Fuck!" HeeChul screamed. His head started to hurt. He forgot everything. It was so hard to think clearly. It was impossible. The only thought left was how he needed to find SiWon. Nothing else. And it made him go insane.
HeeChul eventually entered room 65, the lab.
Bad memories came back and the impact almost caused a breakdown. The student felt dizzy. He clung onto a chair, keeping him from falling.
"No! No! NOOOO!" he screamed as loud as possible, not caring if someone could hear him now.
After some minutes, in which he adjusted to his surroundings and realized that no one was left here to hurt him anymore, he was able to look around.
The lab was big. HeeChul took some steps forward, his eyes wandering over everything around him. All the objects in the room. All things which still scared HeeChul. It was so hard to do each step, but for SiWon, he would go to the end of the world. He wouldn't back off now. He took some more steps. Until he suddenly found himself in front of a mirror. He looked into it, expecting to see himself, looking more than miserable in the state he was in.
But when HeeChul stared at the mirror, it wasn't he himself that caught is attention. Instead, the reflection was showing a big cupboard leaning on the wall opposite of him.
HeeChul turned around and went over there. He opened it and looked inside. He didn't know what he expected in there, but he was disappointed when he saw it was empty. It was old and there were already scratches and even some cracks in the wood.
HeeChul's fingertip followed one on the back of the inner cupboard. He wondered why such an old cupboard was in such a modern lab, when he suddenly realized that something was behind the cupboard.
He quickly closed the cupboard again and tried to move it, but it was too heavy.
"Damn. Why am I even alone? If I had someone with me now, together, we would probably be able to move it," HeeChul complained to himself with a pout. He looked around. No one was there. Nothing to help him move it either.
He suddenly wondered where the policemen were right now. They were probably in the school building and not in this one.
HeeChul got an idea, and, not caring for everything else, he went aside and pulled at the cupboard as hard as he could. Until it fell forward onto the floor. The wood burst as it hit the ground with a loud thump.
HeeChul jumped backward, but no one seemed to have heard, because as he waited for several minutes, no noise could be heard.
HeeChul breathed out in relief before he looked at the wall. His eyes widened. A door was revealed, now not hidden by the cupboard anymore. HeeChul's heart jumped as he read the number which was on the black wood. '66'.
