TAO'S POV

(A few days later)

I haven't seen Venus for a few days. The other girls ignore us. One of the girls doesn't look too good. I think her name is Cherish. All the girls look depressed.

China has been strong for the other girls. But, I can see that she is hurting too. Rosa and Chanyeol keep stealing glances at each other. The last bell of the day rings, and all the girls stand up. I notice that Cherish is starting to sway.

I was about to go over there, but Luhan beat me to it. He caught her just before she hit the ground. China goes over to him and gently takes Cherish. She nods her head in thanks. All the girls follow her out except Rosa.

She looks at us and smiles sadly. "Venus has been gone for two days now. We know she went after the other group. We are all vulnerable right now. Especially, Cherish and China."

I was puzzled by this. Wasn't China the strongest one besides Venus? Rosa must have noticed my confusion. "Tao."

I look at her. She said, "China is strong physically. She is just as weak as Cherish when it comes to emotions. We have all been trying to stay positive except Cherish. She has completely given up. She is just a shell now."

She started to cry and ran out of the room. I looked over at Chanyeol and could see he was fighting his instincts to go after Rosa. I looked at the other guys. They all looked depressed. Suddenly, I realized something.

We had all fallen in love with the girls too. I said, "Guys."

All the guys looked at me. I continued, "We are going to go hunt down where Venus is."

Kris asked, "Do you think we can find her?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Those idiots couldn't cover their tracks even if they wanted to. The girls need Venus."

The guys nodded in agreement.
