EXO: "EXOPLANETS"
41

"Yes! Robots, stun don't work with robots, right?" Baekhyun was very enthusiastic. This is a silly conversation, especially in this given situation but I do not expect anything from these people.

Setting up the talk about robots, Xiumin turned to me and clasped my shoulder. “By the way, think good,” he praised, “smart enough, use water as a conductor for electricity.”

I smiled at the compliment, secretly wanting to hear more, but I shrugged and replied humbly, "look at it in the movie." Which is the truth but I also learned it in science in school. Honestly, it was not something genius, just general knowledge. It is much more impressive that the spontaneous plan worked.

"Wait, where's Chanyeol?" Xiumin suddenly asked in panic. "Damn, is he still there? Oh my God, have we forgotten? If he's still there, he may not be conscious or .. die."

"No, he doesn't, don't panic! I saw him before, he left and chased after Doctor Choi," I replied after a sudden reminder. Others were somewhat speechless at my revelation. I guess they had the same reaction as me, they had forgotten about it until now.

"I'll go look for him. You guys stay here and wait for Chen, then go to the tunnel, we'll meet you there. If the guards find you first, leave without us and we'll catch up, okay?" I instructed, decided to take the lead and put a plan in place.

"But .. we can't leave you alone" Sehun said from beside me.

"I'll be fine," I answered ruffling her hair and added, "plus, we don't have time. We need to get away as quickly as possible, we need to take advantage of those caught off guard."

"OK but be careful" said Kyungsoo and I smiled at him. He never talks too much but when he does I know he means it. Without looking back, I left.

After a while of walking forward, I realized it wasn't hard to tell where Chanyeol was going because of the marks on the floor and the white walls. The pale footprints could only be caused by the debris from the fire and they led me to the wide-open iron door.

Chanyeol's big body was the first thing I saw and I started walking forward. I was speechless as she started talking and I realized Doctor Choi was also in the room, she had just covered the woman from my sight.

"You're right, I can't control it. The darkness swallowed me whole and I let it go. Sometimes, I even like it" chanyeol sneered and I froze at his words. There was a truth that rang freely in his words and a strand of fear plagued me because I knew I could tell it.

"I want you to know, I blame you for everything and I hope you burn in hell for all your sins" Chanyeol said with poison in his words. He tightened his grip and as his eyes turned to the back of his head, I knew he was about to kill him. I opened myself up from my immoral act and decided to stop it before it was too late.

"Yinjul!" I shouted and he turned to see I was behind him. His expression was full of anger and vengeance, but I knew this was not the real him. He let the darkness take over and that's not true.

"What are you doing?" I asked him. It wasn't a question I wanted to answer, but I wanted him to realize what he was doing was wrong. "Chanyeol, listen to me, he's not worth it. You're better than this, I know you. Don't bend to their level because it's something you'll regret for the rest of your life."                              

Instantly, he became dazed and his face became sagging as he released the grip he had on Doctor Choi. His body was tangled to the ground and he convulsed as he grabbed his neck and began to take deep breaths.                        

Chanyeol looked at her hand and her feeling was striking on her face: she was fed up with herself. Suddenly, Doctor Choi reached out and grabbed her leg tightly, saying words I could not hear from across the room. He shook it off and he quickly retreated from it.

We don't have time for this, others are waiting for us and if we don't leave soon we'll be caught. So I urge him, “we have to go, now. They'll be here soon. "

Desperately, he looked towards me and nodded. I turned to leave but suddenly he called me to wait. Looking back, I saw him crouching on the ground picking up loose pieces of paper. It was only then that I noticed the file scattered on the floor.

"I think it's important," Chanyeol said slowly, "he came back to take it, so there must be something here, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life for them."

I rushed to where he was crouching looking at the papers strewn on the ground. "Alright, take them and we can find out later but now, we have to go," I instructed.

After taking all the pages we could find, I folded them as small as possible and put them in my pocket. Then I started towards the assigned meeting point and Chanyeol followed him without a word. Our journey was filled with sharp twists and heavy footsteps as I tried to navigate my way through the labyrinth of endless white corridors.
