Minho was staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above him as he was lying down in his new bed. His mind kept going back to what Jisung had said earlier that day. 'Was he really that obvious?' he thought as he debated how Jisung had been able to read him so well. Sure he was quiet and reserved, but Minho had never thought he looked as sad as he felt. No one else has ever taken the time to point it out, so he just assumed either he was really good at hiding what was wrong or people just didn't care enough to notice. 'What was so different about Jisung, then?'

Soon Minho sighed and turned to face the very boy that was keeping him from sleeping peacefully. He was lying on the bed across the room fast asleep. After Jisung and Minho had returned to the academy, not saying much of anything on their way back, Chan decided that it would probably be best for Minho to settle down in a room in their wing of the mansion. There had been a fourth room that their team had been using for storage, but with the only two person room, Chan and Changbin's, being too small for a third, they decided to go ahead and turn it into a dorm.

At first, Jeongin was going to share the room with Minho since he was in one of the rooms with three people, but as soon as the youngest volunteered, Hyunjin grabbed the red haired boy by his arm and pulled him close. At the same time, Seungmin took the opportunity to shove Jisung into Minho while declaring that they were kicking Jisung out of their room and Jeongin was moving in instead.

The six other boys just blinked until Chan broke the silence by saying, "Seems legit."

In fact, as everyone was moving about, Changbin took the chance to ask Woojin to switch with him, and the older gladly accepted his offer, much to the Chan and Felix's surprise. Minho even thought he saw the two Australians blushing when Woojin accepted.

After a bit of time, Minho turned back over in his bed. He was wearing borrowed clothes again since they all agreed it would be best to wait until the mission was over before going shopping. He needed to sleep or else he wouldn't be much use tomorrow, so with one last sigh, he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

*****

Minho and Hyunjin were standing in the chilly morning air just outside the side of the mansion Minho had not been able to see from the looking spot the day before. He could now see that the entire side of the house consisted of six large garage doors and a wide driveway area that narrowed once it got closer to the bordering forest. Since they were expected to arrive at Seoul Reformatory at noon, and Seoul was a three hour drive away from the academy, Chan had woken them up a lot earlier than everyone else. He told them to meet him here while he got transportation figured out, but they were both a bit confused as to how their leader was going to get a hold of a prison transport vehicle.

As soon as the two boys were starting to get impatient, one of the garage doors they were standing by slowly opened up, and out drove Chan in a normal black van. Once the van stopped in front of Minho and Hyunjin, Chan got out from the driver seat and a shorter girl with long black hair got out from the passenger seat.

"Oh, good morning, Jimin noona," Hyunjin said suddenly as he bowed to the girl Minho did not recognize. "Are you going to be helping us on our mission?"

"Yup. Because Channie here practically begged me to."

"I did not beg. I politely asked you to use your gift to help us make our fake prison transfer more believable."

"Well, if you didn't beg, why am I even helping you?"

"Because you're an awesome person and were happy to help out an old friend. Now could you do the thing," Chan asked as he motioned his hands to hurry her up. The girl, who Minho assumed was named Jimin, walked towards the van she had just exited and put her hand to it. Much to Minho's surprise, the van slowly started to change shape and color, and markings of a prison transport truck appeared on the sides. In reaction to the sudden change, he took a step away which caused Chan to remember that he forgot to introduce the new member of his team to his old friend.

"Oh, Minho. Sorry for not introducing you. This is Jimin. She is the same age as me, and has been around almost as long as I have at the academy. She is also one of the few people at the academy allowed to go on difficult missions by herself. Her gift is being able to change the structure of objects into other things as long as they are similar in mass. Rank 4."

"Hello," Jimin says with a smile. "You must be Minho. Chan was telling me about you on our way here. Welcome to the academy!"

"Uh, n-nice to meet you too," Minho responded with an awkward bow. He was not looking forward to the amount of new people he would have to get used to during his time at the academy.

"He's shy. That's adorable."

"You're kind of intimidating, too, Jamie," Chan defended.

"Shall we get going? Isn't it going to be a long drive?" Jimin announces.

"You're driving us?" Hyunjin asked.

"Of course! I am the master of disguise," as she said this, she touched the clothes she was wearing, and they changed into a guard uniform. She then walked towards the two brown haired boys and turned their clothes into tan colored prisoner uniforms. "You both are going to have to act sedated when we get there, but for now hop in the back and get comfortable."

"Why does it seem like you've broken into a prison before?" Minho questions skeptically.

"Because I have," she said matter-of-factly. Then she proceeded to get into the driver's seat and shut the door.

Before Minho could question further, Chan turned to them with an encouraging smile. "Good luck, you two. I wouldn't be letting you both do this if I didn't think you could handle it. See you tonight when we show up for the breakout plan." The older gave both of them a hug, which at first caused Minho to tense up, but he slowly relaxed into the older's comforting embrace and hugged back. 'This is something he could get used to.' Minho and Hyunjin then climbed into the back of the transport truck, Chan closing and locking it behind them.

Then, it was just the two of them. The driver and passenger seats were not connected to the back of the transport truck by a window or anything like that, so Jimin was completely disconnected from them. After a long period of silence, Hyunjin lets out a loud sigh.

"Are you nervous?" Minho asked as he examined the younger.

"Kind of. It is my first mission after all, but also I'm really excited because it means I'm going to be able to help out a lot more struggling Gifteds. Like the ones we are breaking out now. Or Gifteds who are like how I was when Got7 saved me..."

"Yeah, Jisung told me that story," Minho said sympathetically.

"He did?" the younger responded in shock.

"Oh, was he not supposed to? Shoot, was I not supposed to say anything?"

As the older was freaking out about whether or not he fucked up, Hyunjin started to giggle. "It's okay. I really don't care if you know about my past. Everyone else on the team knows about it and you're a part of the team now, too. I was more questioning when Jisung had the chance to tell you rather than worried he told you."

"Oh, well, Jisung, he, there was food, and he was next to me, and he just, and yeah..." Minho stuttered out, suddenly flustered for no reason. That was when he could hear Hyunjin's laughter became even louder.

"I understand. Jisung does talk a lot."

As soon as Hyunjin calmed down and Minho's blush faded, a question Minho had earlier popped back into his head. "Do you know what Jimin-ssi was talking about earlier? About breaking into a prison before? Is this something the academy does often? I guess I'm just trying to figure out what else I am getting myself into by being a part of your team."

"Well, I don't know about the details of a lot of missions either. You'd have to ask Chan, Changbin, or Jisung about that, but I do know about at least one other break-in that I think Jimin noona was responsible for. I only know this story, though, because it was Seungmin who she broke out."

"Seungmin was in prison?" Minho said surprised. He definitely had a hard time imagining someone with cute features like Seungmin's in a prison.

"Yeah. It's a bit of a long story, but we have the time, I guess. There was a huge fire in the school he was going to at the time, and he ended up using his gift to keep the second floor of the building from caving in on the first and killing the people still inside. He should've been a hero, but the IPBA got the notice that he used his gift illegally because of his band and they just arrested him instead. The entire story was on the local news, and it was actually defending Seungmin, but not many people lived in his hometown since he is a Rank 4 and all. As a result, his defense story ended up not getting enough attention for the IPBA to pay any attention to it, and Seungmin was left in prison. Luckily, someone in the academy found out about it which lead to Jimin noona breaking him out. There was a lot less security involved for that prison break compared to this one, though. It is crazy how big a difference it is for Rank 4s and Rank 5s."

"I guess you all have stories about how you came to the academy."

Hyunjin let out an exasperated laugh. "That's an understatement. If you're curious, all you have to do is ask. They can be painful memories, but we are happy now that we all have each other, so we don't mind talking about it. Maybe once you're settled in a bit more, you can tell us your story," the younger said the last part with a soft smile.

Minho nodded and smiled in response to what Hyunjin was saying. Behind his smile, however, there was worry in his eyes, yet it wasn't because Minho didn't believe that he would find himself comfortable enough to share his story with the others or because he didn't trust them. It was because of the fact he couldn't even remember his entire story.

All he knew was that someone wanted him dead.

So I'm posting this update from the grave because Miroh killed me.
I cannot wait till the rest of the album is released tomorrow!!!

Q: What is your favorite animal?

So if you want my dorky answer: dragonssssss. I freaking love dragons. If I am not a dragon in my next life (or something equally as interesting) I am gonna be freaking pissed. (Yes, I believe in reincarnation)

If you want my normal person answer: snakes. They are such misunderstood creatures. If they ain't venomous or gigantic you have no excuse to be scared of them in my opinion. I want a pet snake sooo badly, but 1. my mother would never let me cause she is terrified of snakes (I often question how she is the woman who gave birth to me) and 2. I can't get one once I go to college because I have to stay in a specific dorm that doesn't allow pets of any kind. I will have my snake one day!

My dad (the parent I am actually like and get along with) had a pet boa constructor in college named Damian, and I find that to be the most hilarious thing ever. Still don't know what I would name my snake, but I'm open to suggestions!

Thank you as always my wonderful readers and lets get skz their first win!

I'll just leave this picture of 5 year old me holding a snake twice my size at a circus here...
