“My dear friend, how long you're gonna talk about this movie?” Chan sighs irritated. His school friend and neighbor in one just can't stop talking this morning. “I get. It was amazing and you cried like a baby. Nothing new.” “Your attitude is awesome. We're going on a trip, why can't you be more..?” Youngkyun huffs. Why is he even best friends with this sassy, done with everything boy? “Annoying? Like you today?” Chan suggests. “Optimistic. Whatever. I won't offend you because I'm a gentleman. And a good friend. You could try this too sometime.” “Nah, thanks. By the way... Why are YOU excited about going into wilderness for a week? With a whole class. Like that can't be good.” “Why not? We can have fun.” “Easy to say. You have fun just with exercising everyday. Stop being always so happy...” “Don't worry. Your mood is killing mine slowly.” “Thanks god.” They reach their bus soon enough to not jump each others throats. “Looks like everybody are here.” Sojin says checking her list of students. “Why is our teacher so hot?” Yuto whispers to his best friend Minseok. “Shut up before Himchan hears you.” He nudges Yuto pointing at the other teacher currently almost hanging on Sojin. “Minseok is right. He's into her. Be careful or you get detention or something.” Jihoon speaks quietly. “What are you doing here? Lost someone?” Yuto sneers wiggling his eyebrows. “Be nice.” Minseok nudges him once more, stronger this time. “Woojin is over there. We're not inseparable, you know.” Jihoon sighs. “I'll go to talk with Mark.” He evacuates quickly. “Brilliant.” Another nudge from Minseok accompanied by angry look on his face. “What? I wasn't rude!” Yuto whines. “You know I don't care that they're boyfriends. I'm not horrible person.” But Minseok already leaves as well. “Great.” Yuto puffs. “This trip seems promising.” He murmurs furrowing his eyebrows in annoyance. “Problems in paradise?” Hyunmin jumps on his back with force. “Another couple to throw me into misery?” Yuto tries to shake him off of his back groaning at smugly look on Sunghyuk's face. “Would you mind help to take your boyfriend off of me?!” “I don't take responsibility for him.” Sunghyuk shrugs still smiling. “By the way, why are you so mad today? Angry that almost everyone has someone and you're all by yourself?” “I don't care.” He hisses. Okay, maybe he does. A little. “Sorry. I forgot you're into Sojin. Gonna compete with Himchan?” Hyunmin jump off finally. “Shut up. Both of you. I'm not talking about it.” “Don't be so sensitive.” Yuto hears another familiar voice and feels a pat on his back. “Oh, please, Chan. Don't pretend you're a sunshine yourself.” Yuto talks back confidently. “I think everybody needs to calm down.” Youngkyun tries to intervene but of course no one would ever listen to him. “Yah, you brats! Into the bus, now!” Himchan's yell interrupts all of them. “Great. We won't kill each other on some small area for sure.” Chan states sarcastically. “Just wait until you hear girls chatting and babbling whole trip.” Jaehyun leans over Chan's seat from the back and starts in exaggerate pathetic voice, then shakes his head. “Boys are the only one talking all morning.” Chaeyoung turns around from her seat before Chan and glares angrily at Jaehyun.“Gonna stick your tongue out? That'll be even more mature of you.” Jaehyun smirks. “Stop fighting...” Youngkyun sighs overwhelmed. This supposed to be nice trip, no school, no loud noises... Yeah false hopes. “Don't talk with them.” Tzuyu grabs her friend arm to make her seat again. “Take one of my ear buds, we'll watch Star Wars.” Thankfully Chaeyoung obeys. In the seat next to Chan and Youngkyun other girls are chirping sweetly, hands all over each other. “Doyeon, Yoojung. Can you not?” Yehana scolds them. “Like you and Sungyeon are any different.” Doyeon scoffs emphatically. “Please someone save me...” Chan squirms in his seat possibly trying to sink in it. “Dayoung...” Arin starts and shyly tugs on her friend's sleeve. “I'm worried.” “I can see. Why's that?” “I've got bad feelings about this whole thing.” “It will pass. Don't worry to much.” Dayoung smiles reassuringly. But she couldn't stop feeling more and more vulnerable as the city started to fade away in the back. *** “I'm feeling numb.” Chan grunts almost tripping while getting out of the bus. It's almost sunset. Why the heck the woods has to be so far away? “You'll be sleeping soon.” Chan receives a pat on his shoulder from Minhyuk. “Yeah cuz this cabins look cozy as fuck...” Chan smirks but a pat from Minhyuk is always welcomed. “Alright everyone!” Sojin shouts to break through the noise of students. “Each cabin contains enough place for four people.” “Should the cabins be so far away from each other?” Arin whispers even more worried. “There aren't SO far away. Just... Enough that everyone can sleep without hearing any unwanted sounds.” Sojin explains calmly. “Take these keys once you settled with whom you gonna be roommate.” She holds bunch of keys in her hand waiting patiently. “I'm sorry. But there's only one key left?” Youngkyun asks confused. “It's impossible... We don't have enough cabins? How many students left?” “Two.” “Oh. So can the six of you just be in one cabin?” Sojin looks apologetic and what choice do they have? None. Bus and the driver already gone. Just two teachers and 33 students in deep woods. So they enter how amazing cabin. There's one big (arguably) space with couch and TV that most possibly isn't working. And the pseudo kitchen in the back, one tiny bathroom and one tiny room just with two single beds inside. “Wow.” “Don't plunge into despair, Chan.” Jihoon laughs. “Well, me and Woojin can take one bed. Rest is yours.” “I'm taking the other. No way I'm gonna sleep with you on the couch.” Chan states firmly. “Alright. Mark, Minhyuk. I guess we'll try to fit on this couch.” Youngkyun gives them a smile. Wait. Why does Minhyuk has to sleep with two other boys? Chan is not happy with that. Couch is not that big, they'll be surely touching slightly. And Chan is even more unhappy. He had no idea that he could be more annoyed tonight. But he is. This small room is so frigging cold that he can't stop his teeth from clacking. Woojin and Jihoon aren't shaking because they are squeezed together. So Chan isn't sleeping till late night. And before he falls asleep he thinks he hears footsteps outside. But that could be just his imagination caused by hypothermia. He doesn't give a fuck until morning.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Wake up, Chan.” Someone tugs on his arm. “What? What?” Chan only groans in annoyance. “It's just sunrise for fucks sake.” “I know. But we've got a problem.” “You've got problem, you mean.” Another groan. He's not a morning person. “Listen to Jihoon, alright?” Woojin says slightly impatient. “Youngkyun is gone.” “Gone? What do you mean gone?” It's time for Chan to sit in his uncomfortable bad. He glances not really understanding what's going on.“We woke up before and he said he's going jugging. We split and I went to the shoreline.” Mark appears behind Woojin and Jihoon, he looks disturbed. “I thought I heard scream. Not so sure and it wasn't loud... But... I'm telling you because it's rather... weird? At least. We should go to Youngkyun. I'm sure he's running somewhere near.” He says but it sounds more hopefully than he would like to admit. “Fine.” Chan huffs and jumps out of the bed. “Which way did he went?” “Left. You know, where the Sojin and Himchan's cabin is.” “Let's go.” Chan stops in front of the door. “Minhyuk is still sleeping? We're not going to wake him up?” He questions. “No need to make a whole crew of teenagers that early in the morning.” “So WHY you woke me up?” Chan grimaces. “Because he's YOUR best friend, am I wrong?” Woojin snaps again. He's somewhat restless today. *** “Am I the only one not feeling safe?” Jihoon frowns standing in front of the cabin. “No. Why... The door. It's wide open.” Mark states also frowning a little. “Maybe they're not sleeping anymore.” Chan shrugs and walks to the door. But it's so silent inside that even Chan feels uneasy. “That's weird...” He murmurs more to himself than anything. He heads to the bedroom. He opens the door first. Gapes a while and closes immediately. “Don't go in there.” He says so seriously than boys stops dead in their tracks. “What? Why?” “Well, you can check. But please don't leave your stomach out there.” “Wait... What do you even mean? You're scaring me.” Woojin looks ready to run. And maybe he should, Chan thinks. Maybe they all should. “Fine.” He sighs. “Look. You were right about not feeling safe, Jihoon...” He opens the door and steps aside. All boys peeks into the room. It's rather dark with curtains still on. Sojin and Himchan still laying in bed. Well, they're probably gonna lay there a long time. Sojin has holes instead of eyes that were so pretty just yesterday. Looks like someone stabbed knives in her eyes while she was in deep sleep. Her mouth is slightly open. And Himchan... Well, his head is almost detached from his body. His throat slaughtered deep. There's so much blood on his bed and the floor. They looks terrifying. “I think that this scream belonged to Youngkyun. He probably went here and saw them.” Chan states calmly. Like this situation is not really that weird. “You don't think that... the killer captured him?” “Let me check their blood.” Chan says instead and walks into the bedroom. The rest jaw's are hanging wide open. “Not that hot anymore. The Killer probably went here in the night. Few hours before dawn. Wait... I heard footsteps in the night. Fuck. I thought that it was my imagination.” Chan shakes his head and looks at Sojin sadly. She was a good teacher. “So The Killer is haunting down us? No wander that TV isn't working. And our phones aren't working either.” Jihoon says. “Why would someone kill teenagers?” Mark asks going back outside. He looks scared. “For fun?” Chan suggests but stops seeing his friend's expressions. “Don't look at me. Maybe it's a hobby.” He shrugs. “Are you serious, Chan?” “Hey. He could just kill everybody in this one night. I think he wants to play with us. Have fun. That's why I don't think he's gonna just fucking in the daylight. No need to worry.” “We're literally at the crime scene. With prowling killer among us! Of course we're gonna shit our pants, Chan. What is wrong with you?” Woojin shakes his head violently. “Maybe I'm dead inside.” Chan even smiles a little. Like this is getting a better trip than he was wishing. “Let's go back to Minhyuk. We gotta tell him. Actually we gotta tell everyone.” Chan is already heading to their cabin. “And just leave them here?” Mark almost shouts in disbelief. “Chill. It's not like they're gonna go anywhere.” Chan chuckles and everyone thinks he lost his mind. Or maybe he was always insane. *** Minhyuk is already awake and he's drinking coffee. Jihoon and Woojin started blabbing about whole thing from the doorstep. After Mark and Chan affirmed everything he finally believed them. And then they went to other cabins to take everyone outside and inform them. “Alright... Why I don't see everyone?” Chan started. He unexpectedly took he weird position of leader or something. “Doyeon, Yoojung, Yehana and Sungyeon took motorboat early in the morning.” Yeri says shrugging. “Fine.” Chan huffs and starts telling them everything. He's also not gonna admit that he thinks that these four girls are most likely dead by now. That's a thing to find out later. “Like hell we're gonna believe you. Don't joke like that.” Yuto sneers. Hyunmin and Sunghyuk also seems not buying it. “He wouldn't be joking with such things.” Minhyuk snaps despite he himself haven't seen that. But he believes his friends. “That's true.” Woojin almost whines. “Go see yourself if you want.” Chan says nonchalantly. “But if you're gonna puke your breakfast that's not my fault. The sight ain't pretty, Minseok.” Chan says after seeing him cocking his eyebrow mockingly. “Ah, Chan... We found girls.” Woojin and Jihoon pants after running to the group. “Where were you?” Mark asks, it's not freaking safe to go on your own in such circumstances. “Shoreline. The girls are... floating. All four of them.” Jihoon says wincing. “Seriously? Well, the motherfucker probably wants to kill us before the week ends.” And Chan looks like he's having fun of his life. He almost chuckles but he also remembers that others aren't in that mood... “He has a lot of work to do. There's a lot of us.” “Seven people already dead. And it's day number one.” Minhyuk shakes his head. “Seven?” Arin asks confused. “Well, we count Youngkyun.” “Okay. What the fuck are we gonna do?” Sunghyuk glances at Chan with angry expression. Most likely he's not happy with him being somewhat 'leader'. “Not going alone anywhere for sure. And keeping guard at night. Two persons and in the middle of the night changing it to other two persons. Sounds good?” Jihoon reasons and yup, he thinks well, Chan praises him in his head. “But... We can't contact with anybody from the city. How we're gonna make it?” Yeonjung asks and she doesn't sound afraid. She just holds Jinsook's hand tightly in reassuring manner. “Don't worry about that. Just try to stay alive. Okay?” Chan says because he don't want to tell them that it's a game. Well, he thinks it is at least. Like 'try to survive this whole week and then live happily ever after'. It's gonna be hell for sure.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Don't you think we should... take the girls out of the lake?” Yeri asks Tzuyu while kissing her lightly on her cheek. “No.” Jungeun interjects. “That's dangerous.” “I know you want to give them some respect but Jungeun is right.” Chaeyoung states seriously. “Tzuyu, do you agree with us?” She asks her best friend. “Yes. Sorry, baby. They're right.” Tzuyu takes Yeri on her lap to give her some anchor. Four of them sits in their cabin. Yeri is not scared, she's rather angry. She always have been feisty. Her girlfriend, Tzuyu is also fierce if needed. They decides that they're gonna take first guard at night. But it's still pretty early. “Maybe we should go talk with other girls.” Jungeun suggests. “No need to sit here doing nothing.” So they goes to the cabin next to them. *** But on the tree in front of other cabin... Is Youngkyun. Hanging too far to take him down. His legs dangling in comical way. From that far it's impossible to see his face and thanks god. Girls quickly goes inside just to see Haeun crying on the floor and Jiwon with Nayoon comforting her. “She saw Youngkyun outside.” Mina explains handing her some pills. Probably to calm her down. “Yeah, we saw him too.” Chaeyoung sighs. So it's seven, it's true. “Maybe we should stay all eight together.” Jiwon asks still hugging Haeun. “That's a good idea.” Jungeun accepts right away. “When did The Killer hang him up there?” “Probably when we were in the middle talking about him killing others...” Nayoon huffs. “Why did he chose this fucking tree? I can look through the window and see his legs swaying when it's windy enough. That's gross.” “He's playing with us.” Tzuyu says sitting down, again pulling Yeri on her lap. She's not gonna let her go alone anywhere. She cares about her too much. “I agree. He wants us to panic. That's why we need to do anything to not to.” Jiwon says to Haeun, but still hugs her. “Shouldn't we have some weapon?” Jungeun asks looking around as if there's a shotgun or ax in the corner of the room. “Probably. But what? There's nothing to use.” Chaeyoung plops on the couch with resignation. “Wait.” Nayoon runs to the kitchen and comes out with multiple knives in her hand. Some are really big. “That's useful, right? To self defense.” “Yeah, very much. Awesome.” Yeri smiles and takes the knife happily. “Careful with that, baby.” Tzuyu whispers to her ear while stroking her arms. *** “Donghyuk, let's take a walk. We should leave them. It's still bright daylight.” Jaehyun snaps after watching his friends making out on the couch. “You think it's wise?” “I'm telling you it's early. Joochan and Jibeom won't even notice. Look at them. Or maybe not. It's messing up my common senses. Let's go.” Jaehyun says firmly and drags Donghyuk out of the cabin. “They're gone...” Jibeom pants after pulling away from his boyfriend. “Finally...” Joochan murmurs aiming for Jibeom's belt. “Wait... You want to..?” “What? Have sex? What else would I want from your pants?” He smiles sweetly. “With a killer out there?” Jibeom is not so sure about it but who he is to deny his dick to his precious boy. “Yeah. It's very romantic.” Joochan giggles and he's already half naked. And minutes later they're already having much fun on the couch. They're so immersed with each other that they wouldn't notice a hoarse in the middle of the room. Idiots. Someone licks own lips with evil grin. And then some long knife sinks deep into the back of Jibeom. It pierces through and Joochan underneath him almost gets stabbed too. He can't even scream. He's terrified. And his boyfriend's body lays heavy on him. His dick still inside his hole. With a killer that visibly tries not to laugh out loud. What a funny situation indeed. Just not for Joochan. “Now. Goodnight, pretty boy. It's so romantic to die while having sex.” The killer chuckles. And then some sharp blade flashes in the sunset. The killer swings hard and then Joochan's head rolls on the floor. It's such a funny view that The killer almost wants to take a picture or simply stay a little longer. But that's impossible. It's time to get the fuck out of here. *** “Look. It's getting late. Let's go back.” Donghyuk is the one to tug roughly on Jaehyun's sleeve. “Fine. I guess...” And then they're just standing afraid to take another step. “The doors...” “Wide open.” Donghyuk gulps loudly. He wants to run away. Probably into the lake with dead girls inside, it's better option than going inside and see... Whatever there is to see. But they gathers their composure. And quickly regrets it. There's such a big puddle of blood in the center. With a head in the middle. Joochan's head, eyes and mouth wide open. It looks disgusting and Donghyuk is emptying his stomach in that very second. Jaehyun looks on the couch and that's also mistake. Their bodies laying on each other, very... intimately. There's a big wound on Jibeom's back and blood still pours out in small streams. Jaehyun sways on his wobbling legs. His head sppinning and he almost trips on another head. Donghyuk finally ends his vomiting and is running outside. “Fuck!” “Don't shout, moron. You saw them. The killer was here few minutes ago.” Jaehyun slaps his friend to get a grip. “Let's go to Yuto and Minseok's cabin. We can't stay here for sure.” *** “I heard a scream.” Mark deadpans. “Nah, you're just replaying Youngkyun's scream from the morning in your head.” Chan states not paying attention. “I think I heard something too.” Woojin says seriously. “It sounded like a Donghyuk.” Jihoon adds and really, how could he know how his screams sounds like? Chan is so done. He's laying on the couch and tinkers with his phone. He keeps ignoring others. That is until Minhyuk leans over him. “What are you doing?” “Trying to improve this phone. Why the fuck do we need fucking signal? Fuck.” Chan groans. “Stupid technology. I swear I'm gonna kill...” “Hey, hey. Chill. We don't need more killers in here.” Minhyuk chuckles. “Good point. But Jihoon, Mark and Woojin are gonna make me a killer.” Chan sneers. “Good that I'm not on your list.” Minhyuk flashes him a smile. “Not that one anyway...” He murmurs quieter. “What?” “Nothing.”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Hyunmin, where have you been?” Sunghyuk asks when his boyfriend comes into the cabin. “It's late, I was worrying.” “I'm sorry. I needed fresh air.” He smiles apologetically. “Yuto and Minseok were in the room and you were in the bathroom probably so I just went... Sorry.” He hugs him and Sunghyuk smiles even though he knows where could Hyunmin probably go. “Okay.” “Shit!” Jaehyun bursts through the door, Donghyuk following. “Where's the others?” “Right here.” Yuto yawns walking out from the room with Minseok. “No one was going out?” Jaehyun asks in hurry. “We were sleeping.” Minseok shrugs. “We were here all the time.” Sunghyuk says. Hyunmin would never ask his boyfriend to lie for him but since he did himself he is grateful. And Sunghyuk knows he did the right thing when Donghyuk says about Joochan's and Jibeom's bodies in their cabin. Sunghyuk would prefer if the others wouldn't suspect his boyfriend. “Should we go and talk to Chan?” Donghyuk asks and he still shakes with his whole body. That must've been a shock. Trauma for life. “Like hell.” Yuto laughs gloomy. “What is he? Some kind of crappy leader? Because that didn't helped Joochan and Jibeom for sure.” “He's right. Fuck Chan.” Jaehyun says. “We're gonna survive on our own. And we're staying here of course.” “Of course, you can't go back there.” Hyunmin nods his head, he seems a little uneasy. But that's nothing weird since he just found out about his friend's death. They all settles in the room eating and talking. Mostly about the killer. Well, not all of them. “You smell very nice today.” Sunghyuk caresses his boyfriend's hair. “Yeah? Like what?” Like betrayal. Like lies. He wants to say. “Like daisy.” He murmurs instead and Hyunmin seems content, he snuggles into his boyfriend's arms. *** “Gahyeon is weird, don't you think?” Chaewon whispers to Sohee and Yukyung. “Just because he is an honor student and has a strict mind doesn't mean she's a killer.” Sohee rolls her eyes. Yukyung observes Gahyeon that is now reading a book with a numbers on the cover. “She loves math!” Chaewon whisper screams. “So what? Stop accusing her, Chaewon.” Sohee nudges her. “Sohee's right. It's cool that she can remain composed with all the things that keep happening.” Yukyung adds shrugging. “I wish we all could be the same.” “As hell I am going to be this creepy.” Chaewon sneers. “I've got a message from Dayoung.” Yukyung reads carefully and she gets paler with every second. “Arin vanished. Yeonjung and Jinsook were out to look for her and they're disappeared as well.” “What the fuck is going on in here?” Sohee shakes her head violently. Gahyeon slams her book on the floor. “We can't leave Dayoung alone in her cabin.” Gahyeon says and it's so rare to hear her voice that all of the girls shivers involuntarily. “She's right.” Yukyung stands on her feet. “Let's go.” “It's dark...” “It's gonna be okay. Four of us. Nothing bad can happen.” “And what about the girls in the lake, it was four of them...” Chaewon mumbles but so silently than even she can't hear herself. “I wonder what make Arin go outside alone?” Sohee thinks out loud. “Right, that's weird. She's a shy girl.” Yukyung nods and watches to not trip onto some roots. “Coward.” Chaewon sneers. “Maybe a little... That's why I can't understand why she went alone.” Sohee is deep in her thoughts. Luckily Dayoung's cabin is near enough. She opens the door quickly. “I was thinking... That maybe it's them...” She sighs. She seems upset or maybe depressed. “Sorry... I hope it's okay for us to stay?” Yukyung pats her. “We don't want you to be alone.” “Sure. Just... Poor Arin. Why would she do that?” Dayoung is on the edge of crying. Unexpectedly Gahyeon hugs her and that's it. She breaks into tears. Maybe she needed that. *** “It's so silent tonight.” Minhyuk whispers sitting next to Chan with two mugs of coffee. He hands him one. “It's not safe to sit at night on the porch.” He adds. “So what are you doing here?” Chan laughs a little. “Want me to leave you alone?” “No. Stay.” Chan turns for a second to him and maybe smiles but it's too dark to tell. Then he goes back to staring at the forest all around them. “What are you thinking about?” “About murders.” Of course. “And that you're cute.” “What?! How's that connects?” “It doesn't.” Chan smiles this time for sure. “But I like you. And I wanted you to know before you get killed or something.” “Excuse me..?”“Or I get killed. Don't be offended. But that's possible, isn't it?” “How can you be so calm about... dying?” “Don't know. Maybe I'm a psycho.” Chan laughs. “Or you don't give a shit.” “That too.”“But the psycho one is more possible. It's always the handsome one.” “Thanks. Don't tempt me though with such words.” “Why? Whatcha gonna do?” “Devour you. But maybe later. Let's go back and sleep.” “Fine. By the way, Chan...” “What is it?” “Do you think that the killer is among us? Like... Our classmate?” Chan just smiles.“You know something, don't you?” Minhyuk frowns. “No, not really. Not yet. But yeah, that's possible that he is just a step away.” “That is not really what I wanted to hear...” “So why bother asking, Minhyuk? Ah and I am sleeping on the couch with you. Mark took my bed earlier.” “Okay then.”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chan wakes up to Minhyuk and Mark's chitchat and meaningless blabbering. Why Mark makes him laugh so much even in those circumstances? So annoying. “Mark, where were you last night?” Jihoon asks walking out of the small room with Woojin. “I couldn't sleep so I went to drink water, I was right back though? Why?” He looks at Jihoon with grievances. Because that sounds like he accuses him of doing something bad. Everyone is going suspicious and mad, that's for sure. “Sorry...” Jihoon rubs his eyes. “I just... hear you going somewhere and...” “'s fine.” Mark smiles. “I get it, 's not easy after yesterday.” “We should visit others in their cabins. Don't you think?” Woojin asks with concern. “Let's go then.” Chan says hopping into his shoes quickly. And he stops just as quick when goes outside the cabin. On their front porch is something very disturbing. Yeonjung and Jinsook laying next to each other holding hands. Jinsook has a stain of blood on her stomach and Yeonjung a little higher on her chest. It's unpleasant looking at their connected hands. Someone lied their like that on their porch at night. The wood seems so quiet. Chan doesn't like it. He has the feeling that it's not the only thing that happened. “Let's check on others.” Chan walks by girls trying not to step on them. “Hello, any revelations?” He asks from the threshold. “Except hanging Youngkyun outside cuz I saw that.” “No, just that.” Jiwon shakes her head. “Good. Oh and Jinsook and Yeonjung are dead.” He says looking around the room. Girls can't still use to how calm Chan is talking about this stuff. “Eight of us? Smart. The Killer won't try to take all of you down if you're in a big group. You stay here with them.” He turns to Jihoon and Woojin and they nods. He continues his morning march with Minhyuk and Mark. That are talking now too. Why are they getting along so much today? The next doors are opened by Chaewon. “Oh, another bigger group, huh?” Chan bypasses her and notices other four girls. “Where is Arin?” He questions. “She disappeared along with...” Dayoung starts. “Jinsook and Yeonjung. Yeah, they're dead. I mean not Arin. At least she's not laying on our porch.” Chan interrupts her. “I wonder where Arin is or her body...” “Maybe on their porch. Let's visit Yuto and Minseok now.” Mark propose. “Yeah. We'll go. But you are staying here with girls.” Chan states and grabs Minhyuk before he could hear any protests. Another cabin, another group of students. Hyunmin pales when he hears that Arin is missing. “But... I...” He chokes on his words. On the other hand Chan ponders about Joochan and Jibeom's death. “Maybe...” Minhyuk starts to say something but is interrupted by big ass explosion. It must've been the other cabin. Their ears hurts with noises even seconds after this loud bang. But they gather themselves and run outside just to see that everyone from other cabins are out too. To see what happened. “We were there a few minutes ago...” Minhyuk shakes his head with disbelief. The cabin where the left Mark is burning now like crazy. There is some screams as well but the fire is too enormous. No chances to rescue the ones that ain't dead yet. “This is a tragedy...” Eight girls walks closer with Jihoon and Woojin. All of them standing together watching the disaster. They hear thunders not so far away. The storm must be near, thanks god, downpour is very much needed to suppress the raging fire. “Let's go to our cabin. It's the furthest away from here.” Yeri wakes up from their trans first. “Wait...” Tzuyu catches her abruptly. “Look. Someone is sitting on the porch.” And they all sees it. Or her – Arin. Her legs are scattered in weird directions and when they walk closer they can see the big bruise all around her neck. She was strangled probably yesterday and now someone tossed her here. For them to see. Like she's some kind of prey to show off. Suddenly Hyunmin starts to cry. Sure, all of them are sad but so many of them died already that being hysteric is not what they do. Even Haeun is calm about it now. “Something's wrong, baby?” Sunghyuk asks but his voice sounds weird, sweet yet strained. “She was... She...” Hyunmin sobs loudly still unable to calm down. Chan watches the scene with interest. “Your bitch?” Sunghyuk suggests and that makes Hyunmin to snap out of his misery for a second. “I know you fucked her. Yesterday too, right?” He chuckles darkly. And then he stabs him several times before Chan can react. He finally does with the help of Jihoon and Woojin but it's too late for Hyunmin. Everyone is so focused that no one notices Mark coming from behind that attacks Woojin with wild scream. But then he gets knocked out by Minhyuk. No one expected that for sure. “Mark? You caused the explosion, huh?” Chan pants after dealing with kicking Sunghyuk. “Yeah.” He hisses through his teeth. “And I helped him killing some of them. But Arin was his. For the sake of revenge.” He spits at the still warm yet already dead body of Hyunmin. “His boyfriend was a little cheater. He deserves better.” “Let me guess – you?” Chan sneers. It's always like that. Help to kill some people and get noticed by senpai. “You two won't do anything by now. We'll wait for the end of the week when our bus will come. Maybe someone can help me to fetter them?” He turns to the rest of the students. Just like Chan thought – that was a shitty trip into the woods. This night he sits on the porch as well. Just not the same as yesterday (dead bodies are no fun to sit with). So his sits here and Minhyuk joins just like night before. “That was stupid of them. Hyunmin triggered some yandere in Sunghyuk by cheating on him.” Minhyuk shakes his head. “Yeah, too bad that I never thought Mark could help him. The morning when Youngkyun died... I gotta admit that Mark is a great actor though.” Chan replies and drinks the coffee that Minhyuk brought him. “Whaddya say that we won't trigger any more yandere in here?” “What's that suppose to mean?” Chan quirks his eyebrow.“Don't cheat on me.” “We're not together though?” “Yeah, it's about time, don't you think?” Minhyuk smiles. “Yup, sounds like a good idea.” Chan reaches for Minhyuk's hand and holds it. What a romantic scenario. Minus some of the bodies in the cabins near by. But nothing is perfect.
