2 Chapter 1

[Bright]

Bright woke up feeling dizzy and in pain. The back of his head hurt. He had to bite his lower lip just to stop himself from screaming in pain.

He rubbed and opened his eyes. He gasped, IT'S NOT HIS ROOM! He wished to see white walls, and a white ceiling but, he saw wooden walls and a wooden ceiling. Also, he smelled wax, perhaps the floor has been waxed lately. He vowed down and realized he was sitting on a white mattress lying on the wooden floor.

When he looked up, he saw two strangers peacefully sleeping on their white beds on the wooden floor as well near a wooden door. Who are these men? And why was he sharing a room with them? He is a fearless guy but realizing that he shared a room with people he doesn't know, freaks him out.

Bright looked to his right. His fast heartbeat eased when he saw Win sleeping beside him on his own mattress. He felt relieved and safe when he saw his buddy peacefully sleeping next to him. He tapped Win's shoulder. Pat it again, again, and again until Win wakes up. "Shia! I'm sleeping! Don't you have anything to do?" Win said, half awake. His hair was messy and he had morning stars on his eyes.

Bright didn't want to disturb his sleep, but he was scared knowing there were strangers inside the room. He scratched his head and was about to say something when Win immediately went back asleep. This time, he has to wake him up again.

"Aish--"

"Just let me talk first, okay?"

Win glared at Bright and nodded his head, telling him to speak. "Look at the ceiling and the walls," He said and pointed at the ceiling. Win rolled his eyes first before he looked at Bright's pointing at.

Win's eyes widened, "Shia! This is not my room!"

"Nor my room."

"Where are we?!" Win asked him anxiously. Bright shrugged and pointed to the sleeping strangers. His friend's eyes widened again, "Shia! Who are those men?!" Bright immediately laid his index finger on his lips and glared at Win, telling him to be quiet. Win instantly covered his mouth with his right hand.

"Now you know why I woke you up?" Bright crossed his arms and Win gave him a peace sign. Bright sat properly and told him what had happened before waking him up. "The question is, how come we slept here? I mean, do you remember how we got here?" Win asked. Bright's brows raised. He can't recall what happened before he got here!

"I'm not sure.... but what I remember is, we were at P'billy's bar and we were drinking at the private room he reserved for us. When he left, we kept on drinking and talking. We enjoyed the night until... I don't know...your image became blurry and my vision dimmed. After that, I woke up here." Bright said.

"Exactly. Yes, we were at P'Billy's bar and I passed out because I was drunk. Then you woke me up--here..." Win agreed.

Bright shook his head, "Bad, bad, bad." He said in English. "We can't remember how we got here. Very bad." He laid his chin on his palm and stared at nothing.

"Ouch! My head hurts..." Win massaged his temples. Bright heaved a sigh. "You need to have soup for your hangover."

To his surprise, Bright saw a small fridge standing near the wooden door next to the strangers. How come he didn't see that earlier? He pointed to the fridge, "There, maybe we can find some food. I'm also hungry."

They walked to the fridge as silent as possible. They didn't want to wake up those men.

When they stood in front of the fridge, Bright opened it and felt fresh when the cold temperature came out from the fridge. He found four chocolate bars inside, he looked for other foods but those are the only ones there.

"I guess, for now this is enough. At least, we have something to eat." Bright said.

He took two chocolate bars, left the other two and closed the fridge. They went back to their mattresses as quietly as possible too. He gave the other chocolate to Win and they began eating.

"Hmm, this chocolate bar is so good." Win said. "Eat slowly. You might choke." Bright's concern for him. Bright took the trash, crumpled it, and put it inside his pocket.

"Now, what do we do?" Win asked.

"Let's get out of here,"

They got up and walked towards the wooden door as quietly as possible. He held the doorknob and was about to open the door when they heard a groan coming from the stranger.
