“So,” Sehun begins, Jongin holds out his hand to him and he takes it and jumps off the top off the back of an over turned couch onto the cheap plastic chair that Jongin is currently standing on. The chair makes a loud uncomfortable sound of protest. fortunately the plastic does not give way and they both breathe a soft sigh of relief.

“You think, discarded couch pillows count?” Jongin says, eying a pillow.

Sehun takes a leap and lands directly in the middle of the pillow, "They said no books, papers, and lunch boxes. They never said anything about pillows," Sehun pauses to shift to a corner to make room for Jongin as he jumps. He lands gracefully on the other corner and he grins.

"So it's game?"

"It's game."

“Aren't these the couch expensive cushions from soshi's dorm?” Sehun recognizes the dirty pink tassels from that one time he had to deliver a pizza to soshi's dorm that one time he had to take a job as a pizza delivery guy because he was in desperate need of new kicks. it's amazing what a snapback, large dark shades and a simple nod will do for you these days.

“All or nothing in a game of hot lava, man.” Jongin picks up another couch cushion he gives the torn fabric a look before he tosses it onto the floor in the deserted hallway then jumps onto it. Sehun follows after him--

They're resting on top of a set of lockers, enjoying a small bag of chips that had found when Jongin's phone rings twice but who ever it is that's calling hangs up before he has a chance to answer the phone. His phone beeps with a message moments later and Sehun looks at Jongin curious.

“What?” Sehun asks after Jongin places the phone back into his pocket.

“Apparently, according to Luhan, Baekhyun and Chanyeol are taking this thing way too seriously.” Jongin replies, popping a chip into his mouth.

Sehun can't resist the urge to roll his eyes.

“You couldn't tell that from the way Baekhyun mercilessly kicked a chair out of Tao's way earlier?”

“Oh, I totally forgot about that. Well anyway they've started some sort of hot lava cult and are gathering followers.”

Sehun chokes on his water at that and Jongin pats him hard on the back. After Sehun manages to breath normal again he croaks out a what and Jongin laughs, crumbles up the empty chip bag and skillfully tosses it into a near by trash can.

He hopes off the locker top and onto the set of couches that line this side of the hallway.

"Well, anyway once we make it to Joonmyun's Safe Heaven we'll be able to get more information and then we-- DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING." Jongin screeches so loud that it startles Sehun and he slips but he manages to grab onto the locker top and clings on for dear life, despite his sweaty palms.

“You almost touched the lava!” Jongin says eyes wide ignoring Sehun's current state.

“Whose taking this game a little too seriously now?” Sehun says through gritted teeth trying to regain balance and not touch the floor at the same time. Jongin pushes a chair underneath Sehun who settles onto it thankfully but not missing a chance to give Jongin a glare.

Jongin ignores this too and continues his speech. "As I was saying earlier, we just need to get to Joonmyun Heaven and we can restock up on supplies and then head out." Jongin gives the water bottle that's attached to a belt - that Sehun doesn't even remember him acquiring, he just remembers drawing the line at crouch bags- a shake. "We're almost out of water."

Sehun opens his mouth to speak, but Jongin tenses up suddenly as Minseok rounds a corner. He spots the two and walks over he waves at them before approaching cautiously.

"I'm out you don't have to worry," Minseok says, Sehun looks at Jongin who is holding his precious water bottle like he's seriously considering either throwing it or hoping over the balcony while shouting something along the lines of one for all and all for one.

"Jongin, put the water bottle down." Sehun says sternly, Jongin blinks and slowly lowers his arm and grins sheepishly at Sehun.

"I wasn't going to do anything." He mutters,

Sehun gives him a look that says he doesn't believe him but refrains from making comment before turning to face Minseok once more who is staring at Jongin with amusement.
 

"I was going to warn you--"

"The dead can't talk." Jongin cuts in.

"Jongin, shut up." Sehun snaps, Jongin gives him a wounded look but shuts his mouth and crosses his arms instead.
 

Minseok then continues, "About Baekhyun and Chanyeol, but judging from the way Jongin's acting i'd say you have nothing to fear.

Jongin's mouth falls open at Minseok's comment and he splutters before finally replying with an indigent "Whats that even suppose to mean!"

"It means you've gone wild Jongin." Minseok shrugs nonchalantly.

"Have not." He says scoffing, "I haven't right Sehun?"

Sehun sighs, "Jongin, you literally growled at Minseok a minute ago."

Jongin opens his mouth to reply but Sehun continues.

"And you were considering jumping over the balcony and onto the set of couches down below, which i would like to remind you have been here since 1970 and are more likely to break you than support your fall."

 

“Baekhyun and Chanyeol have some sort of gang thing going on and i'd take the long route to joon myun island.
