"Jungwon?" Sunghoon's tired voice, made Jungwon snap his head towards the older almost immediately.

"You should go to sleep early. We have a schedule in the morning." He spoke, making the younger nod hesitantly.

"I-I will. There's just something I need to do." Jungwon looked at his phone again, desperately waiting for an answer. The boy's hand was trembling.

Right now a stranger's life laid in his own hands and if he failed, he thought of himself to be responsible for someone else's death.

At first Jungwon thought it was a mere prank, not thinking much of it. But the way the stranger was texting him in such a humorous, careless way was making him even more anxious.

"Shit." He cursed under his breath, when another minute passed, with still no answer from the other person.

Jungwon's hand stopped in his tracks, his heart feeling somehow heavy. Between all the humour and jokes the stranger he texted with made, there were also messages that seemed almost disheartening to him.
