Wonho didn't want to get out of bed. He didn't want to explore another stupid fucking building. He just wanted to figure out what the damn case file meant. That couldn't have been him. It made no sense.
Wonho has never struggled with suicide in his entire life. He's always been a happy bunny. Sure he gets upset, but never once thought about-
Saved by his phone. Follow by MONSTA X starts blasting, Wonho's pretty pink iphone vibrating across his bedside table like there's no tomorrow. Wonho snatches his phone up and puts it to his pierced ear, a loud sigh coming from his plush lips.
"Hey wonnie. It's Hyunwoo." Wonho bites down on his lip anxiously, dreading what he knew always came next.
"Yes, Hyunwoo-hyung?" He rasps out.
"I know that yesterday wasn't the best, but we were thinking of going back to Meongchul to find some more information. Maybe something to clear this up and figure out what the fuck kind of bullshit this is." Wonho doesn't say anything, chewing some skin on his lip and listening to Hyunwoo's melodic yet husky voice slip into his ear. Hyunwoo has never been the type to cuss outright, only when he's really frustrated about something.
"Fine. But as always, you're gonna have my fingerprints in your biceps. I'm not kidding, Hyunwoo-hyung." Wonho caves, groaning and kicking his feet in a mock tantrum. Hyunwoo chuckles into the receiver, saying a quick "I love you" before hanging up and leaving Wonho to his quiet yet overbearingly loud thoughts. Couldn't they just be quiet for a second?

As Wonho clings to Hyunwoo through the hallways again, all six boys following suit, each one with a pensive look on their face and fingers tangled in another's.
"Wait, stop." Kihyun motions. He picks up a small file with the name "IM CHANGKYUN" written in bold Hangul, causing both Changkyun and Jooheon to choke on air.
"No...not my Kyun...please-" Jooheon whispers, Changkyun tightening his grip on his beloved hyung. Kihyun swallows thickly, but when he opens the file, his demeanor changes drastically.
"All they have is a photo of him." Kihyun blanches. The boys huddle around Kihyun to look at the photo.

"It looks like me ... and my mom in the front ... and I'm dressed for a hospital visit." Changkyun deadpans. Same earrings, haircut, but most importantly, the beautiful rose tattoo Changkyun has on his spine. Without a doubt, it was him.
"Now I'm confused. These all say 2022, and that we were moved in 2023. What the fuck kind of time travel bullshit is this? Or did they just magically fuck up literally everything on the case file? Or were these like, files about us that were suppose to be secret?" Changkyun is about three seconds away from screaming, his tone sharp and aggressive.
"I don't have an answer for that, dongsaeng." Hyunwoo says simply. Changkyun scoffs.
"But it's time to move past it. Put the file in your bag, Kihyun, we need to keep going. Wonho's file said that all seven of us were there. So let's go." Hyunwoo flings his bag over his shoulder and presses on, until the boys point out another file. Hyungwon is the one to pick this one up, gingerly flipping the tab open to reveal the name of the file.
