⠀⠀⠀⠀PRESENT DAY .

────── ⠀ ⋂⋂⠀ ⠀ ⠀ we all have stories , we won ' t ever tell . ❜

no matter what, we always have each other ~

it was a bad idea.

we always have each other ~

this was a bad idea.

always ~

police sirens echoed audibly through the hollow walls of the building, leaving everyone casting fearful glances at each other.

and that’s a promise ~

“I-I cannot believe t-this!” I let out an ear-piercing cry. my body gradually slid down the stone wall, slumping to the floor with a bump, terribly trembling with large tear drops prickling hurriedly down my swollen, blood-stained cheeks.

our promise ~

the rest of them stood silently beside me. no one dared to speak or make a sound. their heads held low in the prolonged silence, hanging loosely off their bodies with their gaze fixated on the floor, as we all waited for our untimely fate.

⠀⠀⠀⠀TWO DAYS BEFORE .

“ah... looks like we are all here!” taehyun cheered, his voice growing a pitch higher and his smile widening more with elation laced evidently on his facial features, “together at last!”

I instinctively tilted my head slightly to catch a vivid glimpse of yeonjun striding over to approach us with his luggage strolled by beside him.

“took you long enough,” soobin muttered, yet his voice carried no tone of irritation, “we were waiting so long for you...”

“well I needed to get myself ready for this damn trip,” yeonjun countered defensively, “so the wait was worth it!”

beomgyu, who was standing to my right, snickered hysterically, his arms folding against his chest with an amused smirk tugging on his lips.

“yeonjun, you do realize we are going to be gone for two days?” beomgyu teased, one of his eyebrows raised playfully, pointedly glancing at his luggage, “what is all that luggage for?”

yeonjun’s eyebrows swiftly seemed to knot and furrow at his words whilst beomgyu’s smirk widened, his eyes glinting with amusement. his ears splotching a scarlet red.

“oh beomgyu you-“

huening kai sluggishly sauntered from behind us with his hands shoved in his pockets, thankfully interrupting the fight that would’ve went on.

“guys, the car is ready!” he announced, running a hand through his hair, “we should start the journey about now.”

soobin perked up and promptly began to nod, making his way to the car.

“you two, quit fighting and let’s get a move on,” soobin muttered, tilting his head to cast a sharp glance at both beomgyu and yeonjun before walking off.

both of them pouted and quitened down a bit simultaneously, shooting daggers at each other with growing frowns on their faces.

“beomgyu, this is so not over,” yeonjun grumbled, his voice tinged with feigned aggravation, causing beomgyu to burst into a fit of giggles as they walked off together to the car.

huening kai followed wordlessly behind them, huffing out an exasperated sigh.

“ha-rin, come on let’s go,” taehyun called out to me, gesturing for me to follow after him.

“coming!” I responded, hoisting my bag on my back hurriedly and following after him. brushing off 'dust' from my clothes.

this will be one long trip.

once we all surrounded the car as soobin was helping us to place our luggages in the boot of the car, I turned to face them with my hands on my hips.

“I call shotgun!” I shouted, a cheeky smile surfacing on my face, swiftly sprinting over to the passenger’s seat.

“hey! since when do you get to call shotgun?” beomgyu called out after me with a slightly irritated expression.

“since I can!” I responded, my tone slightly playful, winking at him and blowing him a flying kiss playfully.

beomgyu groaned stridently and feignly threw away my flying kiss with a wave of his hand.

we all eventually get into the car.

“oh god, don’t tell me I have to stay stuck in this whole trip with beomgyu,” yeonjun grunted, his eyes pressed shut after having to listen to beomgyu yap for ten minutes straight, “what a nightmare.”

“womp womp, yes you freaking will,” beomgyu retorted tartly, his lips forming a deep-set scowl, seeming slightly hurt, “I am here, made to make your life a living nightmare, in the flesh!”

“quit it you two,” soobin muttered in a jaded tone, gradually starting the car with a frustrated sigh, “just this once.”

“oh trust me, this is going to be one hell of a ride,” huening kai mumbled, his voice low yet audible, “no doubt.”

“and besides, we all signed up for this,” I stated in a matter-of-factly tone, “so we are all stuck together.”

huening kai softly hummed in agreement, his gaze flitted to the window with a soft smile. my eyes trailed on him for a while.

soobin turned the corner through our neighborhood with the stirring wheel and thus we were the off.

the start of the journey.

“but hey, when are we reaching the campsite again?” taehyun questioned, his eyebrows knotted in mild bafflement, “how many hours until we actually get there?”

“8 hours-“ soobin responded coolly, his gaze fixated on the road ahead.

“8 hours!?” beomgyu exclaimed, letting out a dramatic sigh, “In this car?!”

yeonjun shot him a glare.

“you guys didn’t know? didn’t we talk about this in the group chat days ago?” I muttered, rubbing my head in frustration.

“beomgyu is way too busy doing other ‘important’ things than responding to texts,” taehyun spoke, using his fingers to gesture the quoted words, “he never replies to anyone’s damn texts-“

“that is not true!” beomgyu muttered oversensitively, with a feigned hurt expression, landing his hand on his chest dramatically, “I do not do that!”

a dry scoff escaped yeonjun’s lips, that curled into a frown, seeming unconvinced.

“yeah right, what was the last text I sent you?” yeonjun asked him, his eyebrow shot up quizzically, “and when?”

“uh.. I know… uh..” beomgyu trailed off.

beomgyu tries to ponder on it but he eventually starts to scratch his neck, cursing under his breathe in defeat.

“I think I have got my answer,” yeonjun muttered frankly, leaning on the car seat with a complacent smirk playing fondly on his lips.

“yeah, yeah, whatever,” beomgyu grunted dully, running a hand through his hair frustratedly.

“you know… the last time I tried to call you, it clearly said the number does not exist,” huening kai spoke brusquely, leaving yeonjun to laugh hysterically after.

“oh really now?-“ beomgyu muttered, his tone sharp, his arms folding aggressively against his chest.

“anyways… we should at least realize that this would be a fun trip for all of us,” taehyun interrupted, his voice growing low and soft, finally changing the subject, “that includes no fighting.”

“well, I am excited about camping and going to the festival as well,” I spoke, shifting fully on my seat to turn and gaze at the rest who were seated at the back.

huening kai’s eyes trailed on me from the window as he begins to nod in agreement to what I had just said.

“yes, it will be a blast!” huening kai openly added in agreement, a small smile on his face, “and we will make it more fun.”

I returned his smile, mirroring it with my own, the smile on my face seemed to grow at his words.

“I am planning to tell the scariest damn stories!” beomgyu spoke, his voice echoing throughout the whole car in sheer delight, “just y’all wait to piss them pants!”

yeonjun lifted his hand to facepalm himself.

he’s so done.

“well yes, we should have scary stories,” taehyun agreed airily, nodding continuously, “you know for when we have a little bonfire.”

“oh, hell yeah!” beomgyu spoke, his smile widening further before he began to cock a brow in interest, “who’s making the fire though?”

“let’s make this clear, I am starting the fire, I don’t trust any one of you,” soobin’s voice boomed from beside me, glowering at everyone from the front view mirror, “we surely don’t want the entire forest to be left in flames-“

yeonjun huffed and let out a snort, “oh, please, you make it sound like we cannot do any thing right-“ yeonjun retorted tentatively.

“when was the last time you all did anything right without constantly bickering?” soobin cut him off, his voice slightly rising.

everyone instantly exchanged looks whilst the car fell into an uncomfortable silence for what seemed to be a long while.

my gaze met huening kai’s gaze involuntarily; he shrugged indifferently the minute our eyes met.

“well, you are right,” taehyun spoke, finally breaking the silence, his voice low, “you can be in control of the fire, happy now?”

soobin let out a sardonic chuckle and hummed in response, “oh, yes, I definitely am,” he responded bluntly, his voice laced with mock sarcasm.

“well… everyone can have a task to do though,” taehyun continued to say, “we are all in this trip together.”

“uh, duh,” yeonjun muttered, dragging his voice a bit, whilst grabbing a bag of potato chips from his bag, “but what else can the rest of us do?”

“we will think about later,” beomgyu said, leaning on his seat with a faint sigh, “my brain cells are not willing to cooperate right now.”

“did they ever?” soobin muttered candidly.

everyone seemed to burst into a fit of laughter, even beomgyu himself.

“oh, shut up,” beomgyu mumbled, having the last laugh.

the guys at the back; huening kai, beomgyu, taehyun and yeonjun eventually fell asleep. leaving the car to be filled with the loudest snores EVER!

the sky seemed to slightly dim outside, leaving an amber hue up ahead in the mellow shapeless clouds roaming the boundless skies, dusk approaching and beginning to fall onto the once clear blue limitless skies.

we spent most of the car ride bickering and laughing as well. the boys ate most of the snacks and argued non-stop as usual.

“it’s more peaceful now,” soobin whispered to me, his voice subtle and barely audible, taking a quick glance at me, “well, slightly.”

a faint chuckle seemed to leave the surface of my lips as I nodded in agreement. my eyes tracing the scenery through the window with my head placed comfortably on the palm of my hand.

“they can be a pain in the neck but they are the friends I could never replace,” soobin spoke after a few minutes of momentary silence, “I would never want to replace you all.”

my lips smoothed out into a soft-hearted smile at his words, feeling considerably touched by the vulnerability of his words.

“I understand and no matter what, we always have each other,” I let out a low sigh, scratching my neck rather sheepishly.

soobin peered at me with a impish smile, his usual expression softening up slightly before he made a slight nod and patted my head gently with a free hand.

we always have each other.

“always,” soobin concluded.

“we are finally here,” beomgyu muttered, stretching his arms and accidentally hitting yeonjun on the head while at it.

yeonjun glared at him heatedly, rubbing his head with a vexed and provoked expression, “hey, watch it!”

“is this the campsite?” huening kai questioned, his voice laced with awe and delight; his face pressed fully against the car window.

“no, it’s the zoo,” yeonjun muttered, his voice filled with sarcasm, “of course it is the damn campsite!”

“let’s get out and check in,” soobin shifted on his seat to face everyone, his gaze stern and stiff, “we have to find a cabin.”

“well… are we sharing a cabin with her?” taehyun inquired, lifting his finger to start pointing at me.

everyone instantly seemed to shift their gaze on me.

“I am not just ‘her’,” I murmured, my nose scrunched in irritation, “I have a name.”

“sorry, let me correct myself, ‘are we sharing a cabin with ha-rin’, happy now?” taehyun muttered crossly, with a huff.

soobin scratched his neck, “we can’t leave you alone…” soobin mumbled, facing me, “considering you are the only girl…”

beomgyu’s brow shoots up, gaping, “so we are?” beomgyu questioned, his eyes widening, outwardly taken aback, “soobin…”

“it’s fine.. I can sleep by myself,” I finally said, raising my hands in the air, my eyes flickering on everyone’s gaze, “don’t worry about me.”

“are you sure?” soobin asked, leaning a bit closer, his expression laced with uncertainty and a hint of concern, “ha-rin, you—“

“bro, she already said she is sure, okay?” yeonjun cut his sentence short impatiently, “now let’s get out of this car, I feel so numb from sitting in here the whole day.”

soobin let’s out a infuriated sigh, his gaze lingering on me for a moment or two before getting out of the car.

I lower my hands and exchanged glances with the rest of the boys.

we all follow after him.

soobin was stood by the desk, checking us in as we waited, standing by the corner of the room.

the room was bland and dull, no other ounce of furniture seemed to fill up the surface of the unoccupied room except the ebony wooden front desk with a large woman who had a pompous accent stood across from it.

“don’t worry, ha-rin, if any forest monster comes for you just scream—“ beomgyu teased, nudging me with his elbow.

yeonjun smacked him on the arm, “shut it, beomgyu,” he grunted, shooting beomgyu a glare, “you might scare her.”

“oh, come on, I am not scared at all,” I spoke, glancing between the two with an amused look, “I will be just fine.”

huening kai turned to gaze at me, resting a hand on my shoulder, “but if you actually need help, look for us.”

“yeah, you never know,” taehyun agreed adamantly when they all fixed their gaze on me, “we always have each other.”

“always,” huening kai added in emphasis and they all nod.

“I mean, soobin over there wouldn’t let that happen,” yeonjun let out a sigh, leaning on the wall with a smirk playing on his lips, “he will always come to the rescue, just for you.”

everyone’s gaze sped over to yeonjun with different expressions pasted on everyone’s facial structures.

huening kai’s grip on my shoulder seemed to tighten at the sound of yeonjun’s words.

I tilted my head, my eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement, “what do you mean by that?”

“oh nothing… I just think he has a little thing for you,” yeonjun muttered, his smirk growing at the sight of my expression, “you know?”

huening kai’s brows seemed to furrow at this, his gaze fixated on yeonjun. I tilted my head to gaze at him and the rest of the boys with uncertainty.

“thing for me?” I repeated, letting his words sink in, raising a skeptical brow at him.

and before I knew it, soobin walked in on us from behind me, “thing for you?” soobin inquired, his eyes twinkling with interest, “who?”

I spinned my head around to meet his gaze. his gaze tinged with curiosity and slight skepticism. everyone instantaneously fell silent at the sound of his question.

huening kai’s eyes fell to the floor, “no one, we were just joking around,” huening kai muttered, letting go of his grip on my shoulder, “as usual.”

soobin didn’t seem to want to question further, considering the ongoing silence, even though he didn’t seem to be entirely convinced.

“alright, guys, enough ‘joking around’ and let’s go,” soobin sighed, taking his luggage, “I got the keys for our cabins.”

beomgyu clapped his hands enthusiastically, “oh my, I cannot wait!” he cheered, following after him with his own luggage.

my eyes draped between yeonjun and huening kai, not being able to shake off the elusive feeling and unspoken tension between them, before walking off as well.

yeonjun shoved himself off the wall and walked beside me with taehyun and huening kai following soundlessly behind us.

I entered my own cabin and gently shut the door behind me. the silence dwelling on me, quickly loosening the grip on my bag as it fell on the floor with a thump.

my eyes strayed around aimlessly, taking in the wooden furniture that carried the heavy sent of polish and pine wood, being placed neatly in the well-occupied room in a co-ordinated manner.

I took a few steps and slumped onto the smooth surface of the bed, my eyes shut

close for a while.

soobin might like me…

a blush crept on my cheeks at the mere thought of that.

ha-rin! no!

he is just a friend! one of my best friends. I cannot think of such things.

I let my mind drift because I didn’t know if it was true but yeonjun seemed so confident and adamant about it.

as for huening kai, he was behaving rather bit too strange after the passage of information.

odd.

my hands slid up to my head in frustration. I do not what these boys are on about but I must find out somehow.

I shot up in fear when I heard my phone beep with notifications. my heart beat relaxed when the realization hit me.

these boys.

I slid my hand down over to my pocket and pulled my phone gently out of my pocket and switched it on.

five giants and a dwarf

I set my phone aside, placing it on the wooden side table and slowly got up from the comforts of the bed, to start getting ready for my night’s long sleep.

I eventually changed into some comfortable pajamas. ready to sleep.

finally.

a distant knock echoed throughout the cabin room, stirring me awake.

oh for crying out loud-

I sluggishly got up from the bed, grumbling under my breathe and sauntered to the door, rubbing my eyes with my hand.

I expected to gaze upon at least any of the boys when I twisted the door open, ready to yell at them from the top of my lungs for waking me up at the middle of the night.

but no.

“sorry, young lady,” loomed a rather high pitched feminine voice of a dark haired woman in her late fourties’, “do you live in this cabin alone?”

I slowly nodded, blinking my eyes into focus, “I do, miss…” my voice trailed off as my eyes dropped to gaze at her name tag, “miss kang.”

“well then, I am in charge of the cabins and I just wanted to make sure,” she addressed, gradually turning to leave, “sorry for the disturbance.”

“oh, it’s alright, you were not a bother,” I responded, yawning slightly, closing the door softly behind myself, “goodnight.”

“goodnight.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀PRESENT DAY .

the police sirens drew nearer. the light splash of the colors red and blue lights illuminated the gloomy walls, causing the tension in the room to rise to it’s limit.

“the police are c-coming…” huening kai murmured in a shaky voice, his tone hushed and quivering horrendously, “beomgyu we cannot do a-anything about it…”

beomgyu bent low, having his head pressed onto his knees, hugging them roughly. his cries echoed uncontrollably throughout the room.

“it was an a-accident,” taehyun’s voice cracked with every word, pacing around the room, with a downcast and glum expression, “it… was… an accident…”

soobin remained stone still on the left corner of the room, staring into space with an unreadable expression.

he hadn’t said a word since.

“we can run, let’s run!” yeonjun cried out frustratedly at everyone, clutching his head with his blood-stained hands, “let’s just run away from all of this!”

beomgyu’s cries grew louder.

“no! we are not criminals yeonjun!” soobin shouted, his voice hoarse and intensifying, stepping closer from against the corner, “we won’t run like criminals!”

“we are criminals,” I spoke up, my voice not even above a whisper.

everyone falls silent. the police sirens now more audible than before.

we are.

⠀⠀⠀⠀A DAY BEFORE .

“this year's spring festival is going to be so amazing tomorrow!” beomgyu sprang up excitedly, taking another bite of his apple, “I just know it!”

huening kai walked over to everyone with a wide smile spread across his face, “I think I am done fixing the tent!” he called out, casually brushing dust off his hands.

“good, I guess we will do the actual camping today,” soobin began to say, his voice light-hearted, “a bonfire like we said we would have and scary stories from beomgyu.”

beomgyu beamed proudly.

“isn’t there like a waterfall around here somewhere?” yeonjun questioned, tilting his head slightly, “let’s swim or something, I am bored.”

“well, yeah but we don’t have swim suits…” taehyun muttered, scratching his head in confusion, “how are we going to swim?”

“with our clothes, silly,” I responded, before yeonjun could come up with a retort, “let’s just go.”

“yeah,” huening kai agreed sincerely.

I stood up from the bench we were all on and stretched a bit.

huening kai followed suit.

miss kang from the day before comes striding over to us, her high-pitched voice voicing out to us, “well, hello to you all.”

all of our heads spin to the direction of her voice as she stood before us with an unwavering glance.

“hello ma’am, how may we help you?” soobin abruptly stood up, slicking his hair back with his hand.

miss kang’s eyes seemed in the day’s light, glint at the sight of soobin, her usual pale face splotching faint pink.

“oh, I just came to check if everything is alright with you all and your tent,” miss kang reasoned, clearly flustered.

yeonjun let out what seemed to be snort, attempted to hide it as a sneeze. miss kang however didn’t take this kindly.

“oh, well, everything is fine ma’am,” soobin gave her a soft smile, with his dimples clearly noticeable, “nothing to worry.”

the flushed color on her skin seemed to deepen in color, “oh, that’s good.”

soobin nodded, “we are doing alright, the tent is already set so we are doing all good actually.”

“well, good, then I will be off,” she spoke, turning to leave and walking off speedily.

soobin turned to look at the rest of us with a smug grin visible on his face, “works everytime.”

“quit charming every lady you see,” yeonjun muttered, shaking his head in feigned disappointment, “everyone will be a flustered mess because of you.”

“don’t act like as if ladies don’t react the same way with you, yeonjun,” soobin countered aloofly.

beomgyu rolled his eyes at the both of them, “come on y’all, let’s go find that waterfall,” placing the apple pieces in a nearby bin, walking off.

taehyun nodded, “yeah, let’s just swim already,” silently following after beomgyu with his arms crossed firmly against his chest.

we all followed suit as well.

“woah!” beomgyu yelled out in astonishment, his head tilted up with a huge grin plastered on his features, “this is all so beautiful.”

up ahead, the crystal clear water; tainting color of lavender purple and soft pink and blue splashed on the large area of water-pool below.

trees seemed to engulf the area around the waterfall as the wind whistled symphonies through the forest green leaves.

huening kai began to dash into the water, “come on, stop gaping ha-rin and come over!”

I ran after him but what took me by surprise was when I drew nearer, he got a hold of me and lifted me up, carrying me in his arms, issuing towards the water.

my eyes widened, meeting his eventually in astonishment.

“kai! put me down! don’t throw me in the water!” I let out a scream, not anticipating any of this at all, “put me down please!”

yeonjun and beomgyu appear from behind huening kai with smirks visible on their faces.

oh no-

“hm… should we put her down?” yeonjun questioned in a mock sarcastic tone, his finger placed on his chin in a feigned thought expression.

“oh, we should, should we?” beomgyu questioned with the exact same mock sarcastic tone, his smirk widening further.

“you guys, this is not funny! put me down!” I continued to plead, my screams rising as we drew closer to the water.

“we should just throw her in,” yeonjun playfully said, a smirk growing on his face as well.

“who’s we?” huening kai muttered jeeringly, gazing down at me, his voice lowered and melodious before asking himself, “should I really put her down?”

“yes, you should,” soobin stepped in disapprovingly, his voice firm and grim, his arms crossed against his chest with an unyeilding expression.

huening kai put me down and the minute he did, I grabbed both beomgyu and yeonjun and shoved them into to the water.

when I did this, they both grabbed each one of my hands and pulled me into the water with them.

I landed into the water with a loud splash. letting the feeling of the cool fresh water smooth out my skin.

the sound of taehyun’s laugh echoing from behind all us, “oh my, this is too funny to watch!”

“oh, you are both going down,” I muttered, lifting my head from the water and wiping the dripping water from the surface of my face with my hand, “watch your own backs.”

“oh, you wanna play and lose to us?” yeonjun teased, a wide toothy grin pasted on his face, his tone playful, “how cute.”

“how brave of you, ha-rin,” beomgyu muttered, his smirk never seemed to leave his face, “I hope you eat your own words when you actually lose to us.”

a smirk etched my own face as I dragged them both into the water again.

we spent most of the day splashing water and chasing each other. we all eventually felt really exhausted and lay on the grass beside the waterfall, glancing up at the sky.

my once dry hair and clothes, now stuck to my skin like a lifeline; the water dripping moderately from my body to the earthly surface beneath us.

“today is another great day,” beomgyu said casually, seemingly breathless, “isn’t it?”

“yeah, you are right,” yeonjun added in agreement, a warm smile on his face, “another great day with you all.”

a bubbling amount of laughter passed through us like a beach wave.

“no matter what, we always have each other,” taehyun spoke, his voice sentimental and easygoing.

“we always have each other,” huening kai said softly, his hand brushing smoothly against mine.

“always,” soobin murmured, his eyes gleaming in the reflection of the sunset hues portrayed on the sky.

“and that’s a promise,” I finally spoke, sliding my hand on huening kai’s hand with a joyful smile.

the soothing wind blowing around us, the feeling prickling our moistened skin, whistles and whispers from the trees towering above us. the sky and ceaseless field of wonder hovering from above.

huening kai intertwined our fingers at the mere feeling of my hands on his. his head tilted to meet my gaze, a genuinely warm smile on his face.

“our promise.”

“oh, now time for scary stories!” beomgyu clapped eagerly, leaning on his seat with a wide toothy grin, “I have been waiting so long for this!”

“alright, alright, go ahead!” taehyun went on to utter, taking a large bite of his s’more.

everyone huddled around to listen to what he had to give to us as the blooming flames in the center of all of us shone light around the darkened scenery around us.

“alright, get ready!” beomgyu began to say, “and you all better shut up and no commentary needed until the end of the story!”

“just go on with it man,” yeonjun groaned noisily, his voice laced with feigned boredom, “we haven’t got all night-“

“this is what I meant by shut up!-“ beomgyu countered, pointing a finger at yeonjun with a deepened sulk.

“just. go. on. with. the. story,” huening kai grunted, huffing out aggravated sigh.

beomgyu huffed, “fine,” beomgyu grumbled, gesturing for us to keep quiet.

everyone reluctantly fell silent under his gesture and quick demand.

“so the scary story starts like this… there is this group of people, seated in the woods, having-“

“you mean us, right?” yeonjun interrupted, raising a hand.

beomgyu went on, as if not interrupted at all, “having a little bonfire, until there was a sound from within the forest-“

a shrill bang came from within the forest at the exact same minute triggering everyone to erupt into ear-splitting screams.

we all rapidly sprinted into the tent then and there. letting out hushed breathes when we entered.

“I wonder what that was…” taehyun muffled in a muted whisper, taking a glance at each one of us warily.

“I guess that is the end of the night for us guys, we have the festival to go to tomorrow so let’s sleep-“ soobin said.

“but my scary story isn’t-“ beomgyu groused scathingly, beginning to throw hands.

“just about to turn into real life? oh, I think so,” yeonjun retorted in a hushed tone.

I let out a brief exhausted sigh and began to lean back and lay down; so do everyone else.

“you guys are freaking squishing me man!” beomgyu whined, his voice starting to rise, shoving the rest, “I cannot breathe!”

“keep whining so loud and maybe whatever made noises outside would come after us,” huening kai grouched contemptuously from beside me.

“oh, shut up and sleep all of you,” soobin demanded.

FRIDAY 13th, PRESENT DAY .

⠀⠀⠀12 HOURS AGO .

────── ⠀ ⋂⋂⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I will always find you , i promise . ❜

⠀

“today is the day!” beomgyu hailed, jumping up and down in anticipation and enthusiasm, “today is that day!”

“can you please not say that over and over and over again?” yeonjun grunted scornfully, “we get it, it is the day of the damn spring festival."

“oh, quit being grumpy for once,” huening kai muttered, an easy smile on his face, "just let loose."

“that’s easy for you to say because you don’t seem to be affected by his constant yapping,” yeonjun said derisively, his hands resting on his hips.

“his constant yapping is not bad, yeonjun,” taehyun reasoned, chewing on his food, “you constantly yap too, we all do.”

“see I have more people on my side,” beomgyu let out a giggle, sticking his tongue out playfully.

yeonjun rolled his eyes playfully, “yeah, yeah, whatever,” he muttered, a hint of a faint smile playing on his lips.

“alright guys, I think we should all start getting ready,” soobin stood up, lifting his hands up to start stretching.

“the festival is a long time away,” I muttered, my eyebrow cocked ironically, “we can get ready later, right?”

“the earlier the preparations, the better, of course,” beomgyu said wryly, leaning closer on his seat to stare directly into my eyes with a grin, “so we get there earlier.”

“that is not necessary,” taehyun adressed, rolling his eyes fondly, “we have got so much time.”

“oh, come on!” beomgyu snapped, his eyes leaving my interlocked gaze to start shooting taehyun a glare.

“guys…” soobin muttered, catching us off guard after the prolonged silence and caught our attention.

we all turned to take a look at him. his back facing us as he gazed up at the forest.

“I wonder what made that sound last night…” soobin spoke, his words growing into a whisper.

“I wonder,” huening kai added in agreement, his voice lowering as well.

“me too,” I murmured.

⠀⠀⠀5 HOURS AGO .

“I think she is almost done getting ready,” beomgyu muttered, his foot tapping impatiently on the floor, “what’s taking her so long?”

“exactly, man,” yeonjun sighed, his eyes flicking to the watch on his wrist every few minutes, “she better hurry up.”

“chill guys, we still have time till the spring festival,” taehyun said, “calm down.”

“and well, let her take her time,” soobin muttered, leaning on the car with his arms crossed.

“oh well, since we have to just wait-“ huening kai began to utter but trailed off the moment I walked towards them.

“hey guys!” I greeted, waving at them and drawing up closer to all of them with a warm smile, “how do I look? love it or hate it?”

i twirled around for them to get a better view of my outfit for the festival but none of them responded. silence was lengthy and maintained. they all seemed to have lost their words? all their gazes locked on me.

oh great, I bet I look so bad-

“ha-rin... you look so good,” beomgyu speaks up, his eyes lingering all over me, with a growing smirk, “damn-“

“quit checking her out man,” yeonjun muttered, smacking beomgyu on the shoulder.

“like as if you aren’t as well,” huening kai grunted, shooting daggers at them both.

“hypocrites,” taehyun murmured.

soobin pushes himself off the car, unfolding his arms from his chest and walks towards me with an alluring smile, “you look amazing, ha-rin... as always.”

“thank you,” I responded, my expression heartfelt and filled with gratitude, a gentle smile on my face, “I appreciate it.”

from behind soobin, I could catch the sight of huening kai’s brows crease in fury.

“let’s just go,” huening kai grunted irritably, walking into the car, “we don’t have much time.”

⠀⠀⠀2 HOURS AGO .

“should I put music on or something?” soobin suggested, scrolling through the channels, “for us to vibe to before the festival?”

“yeah, duh,” beomgyu nodded, distractedly gazing through his phone.

“of course,” taehyun agreed, his eyes fixated on the view through the window. the sky gloomier with each minute.

“let me find a song instead,” huening kai muttered, leaning closer to the car’s radio, “I know where-“

“no I meant I pick a song,” soobin muttered, cutting him short, “I am the one to pick the song for us to vibe to.”

“why you?” huening kai retorted, his voice growing slightly cold and distant, “why?”

“because I, for one, I am the one closest to the radio!” soobin snapped back, his eyes turning a shade darker.

“but you are meant to drive, not handle the freaking radio!” huening kai countered through gritted teeth.

“guys calm down-“ taehyun began to say, trying to pull huening kai back.

“but I am the one closer to it!” soobin shouted, slapping burning kai's hand away from the radio. his face a fiery red.

“I said I can do it!” huening kai snarled, his face hardening, “move your damn hand!”

and just like that they fought over the radio like little children causing the car to begin swaying side to side.

“guys, stop!” I screamed, my hands clasped closely against my ears.

“stop fighting!-“ beomgyu and yeonjun shouted in unison.

before we knew it we hear a booming thud, banging the car, causing the car to turn uncontrollably and hit a large oak tree.

my world instantly turned into an infinite obscurity as the inexplainable feeling of warm liquid trickling down from my head shut me out.

I deftly open my eyes, taking a watchful glance around.

everyone else seemed to be awake. my vision was undeniably hazy and blurry.

my head throbbed in discomfort, the lukewarm sensation of the liquid sliding down my face.

I let out heavy breathes, wincing in pain, my heart beat rising with trepidation, “what… was that?” I murmured, my voice slightly croaky.

“something is lying dead on the road…” yeonjun mumbled, his head turned to the side, facing the back window.

everyone fell silent. my vision slightly began to clear through the moments of complete silence.

“i-it must… be an animal, r-right?” huening kai stummeres, his head hang low.

“let’s just… go check it out…” soobin muttered gruffly, stepping out of the car.

we all step out of the car hesitantly and slowly draw nearer to the dead animal that was laying on the floor.

but this time is wasn’t an animal.

beomgyu let out an agonizing scream, “i-it’s not an animal!” shaking his head continuously, backing away.

we all seemed to let out a shriek. it wasn’t an animal but a person.

soobin stepped closer, crouching to meet the distance with the body as the pool of blood swirled down our feet.

“miss… kang?” soobin mumbled, his voice dropped to a silent whisper.

miss kang?

my heart aching at the gruesome sight. beomgyu gasping beside me in fright.

“w-what was she doing out here?” huening kai murmured, his voice muted.

my lips seemed to quiver in awe and dread, “at this time of the night…”

“is she… is she… dead? check her pulse man!” yeonjun cried out, running a hand through his hair repeatedly.

soobin soundlessly moved his hand down to get a hold of her hand and pressed two fingers on her blood-stained wrists.

his head hang low, “no pulse.”

I felt my heart sink deep in me, my eyes widening in dismay and horror, “no no no no…” I cried out, running to land with brute force beside her body in shaky juddering.

everyone stood there as a shockwave passed through all of us. no one seemed to move right after. my stomach lurched and did several somersaults.

taehyun lifted his arms to his head, “t-this cannot be…”

“it is all because of you and huening kai!” yeonjun lushed out ragingly, pointing a finger at them both, “we wouldn’t be in this damn situation because of your stupid fight!-“

“oh go on then, be my guest, blame us! but if we were to testify in court, we are all accountable-“ huening kai barked, pointing a finger at all of us.

“court?” beomgyu repeated, in a quivery voice. his eyes brimming with tears.

“we killed a person!” huening kai snapped, stomping his feet heatedly, “you think we won’t be sent to-“

“enough!” I screamed, going through the dreadful sensation of my heart shuddering, silencing them all with my hands shot up, “I said enough... I am begging you all!”

i let out a heart-wrenching cry.

“what do… we do now?” taehyun mumbled, his voice cracking. his face put out of sight with the help of his trembling hands, “what can… we… do?”

“let’s bury her body or damp it somewhere,” yeonjun muttered, his voice growing faint.

“no yeonjun! we will not-“ soobin reprimanded, spinning his head to meet his gaze with his stern gaze.

“there is no other way! we could lose our lives behind priso-“ yeonjun yelled out irritably, gritting his teeth.

“alright then let’s do it,” soobin grunted, bearing her body in his grasp, blood dribbling down on himself whilst standing up.

I take a look down at my hands revoltingly, letting the blood blemish my skin, tears running down my cheeks, “are… w-we really doing this?”

“we have to,” yeonjun mumbled, walking off to the car in fury, “or else…”

huening kai sauntered over to me and stooped lower to meet my gaze with his red-rimmed eyes, “let’s…go, ha-rin” he whispered, gently placing his bloodstained hand on my left cheek, caressing it, "come on..."

I slowly nod, holding back more tears from flooding in. he helps me up and leads me to the car alongside the rest.

i lean on huening kai for support as he assists my walk to the car. feeling his body tremble against my skin as much as my own in dread.

“I hope the car still works,” soobin mumbled, taking cautious steps to the car with miss kang dangling limply in his arms.

⠀⠀⠀AN HOUR AGO .

“there is a building there!” yeonjun whisper-yelled, pointing at it with his finger, “we can find out if there are any digging materials…”

"to... bury... her...?" huening kai murmured inquirily, his breathes growing more audible and deep.

i nod slowly in response, rubbing huening kai's back in circles as he buried his face on my shoulder; tearing up and sniffing.

my eyes meet soobin's strong gaze. his eyes seemed to bore something i couldn't ponder on.

"I am... so scared..." taehyun mumbled, in between a fit of tears, fear evident in the tone of his voice.

“let’s just go…” soobin muttered, getting out of the car and slamming the door shut.

we all get out of the car as well. no one seemed to utter a single word since.

soobin carried miss kang’s motionless body from the boot of the car and sauntered wordlessly to the building.

we followed after him mutely. the only sound that seemed to fill the air around us were the splitting of wood sticks and twigs as we stepped closer to the building.

the building stood tall, made with stone and stiff brick. standing high in the middle of what seemed to be nowhere.

huening kai proceeded to cry softly beside me, tugging me by the sleeves.

"don't worry, everything will be okay..." I whispered subtly to him, knowing damn well i didn't believe my own words either.

i slipped my hands on his grip and held his hand tightly. he gave a momentary squeeze to my hand in response to my gesture.

"if anything happens... ha-rin-" huening kai murmurs, his voice cracking.

"i am here with you if anything happens..." I whispered to him, "don't worry about that too much."

his eyes glinted slightly at the sound of my words. his face drifting into a light pink.

the clacking of shoes resounded through the blank walls of the building as we strode in through the iron steel doorways.

nothing seemed to carry the room except an unoccupied essence.

“let’s search through this building,” yeonjun muttered, desperation evident in his voice, “there must be something-“

footsteps soared from behind us, a male’s guttural voice echoed vibrations through the void, “hands up!”

we all grudgingly held up our hands over our heads and spun around to meet the gaze of a middle-aged man in a security uniform. his gun raised firmly at us.

“who are you all?” he barked, his voice gruff and his gaze unwavering, “answer me!”

“we are…” taehyun began to murmur but his voice trailed off.

“well…?” the man’s gaze loitered on soobin and the limp body laid in his grasp, “is that a dead body you have there, son?”

huening kai seemed to tear up beside me. soobin, on the other hand, seemed patently detached and laidback.

“yes,” soobin muttered, his gaze fixed on the man, “yes, it is.”

the man’s gaze hardened, studying our disheveled appearances intently, his face twisting with revulsion, “well then, I might have to call the police, hm?”

“oh, go ahead,” soobin muttered, catching everyone off-guard.

“soobin, what are you doing?!” yeonjun whisper-yelled, whacking him on the shoulder, “we will actually land in jail!”

“calm down,” soobin whispered, his voice barely heard.

“calm down!? are you crazy?” yeonjun snapped back, his voice rising.

beomgyu shook his head continuously, overhearing the man on the phone with the police, “we cannot let him do this!”

“beomgyu it’s fine-“ I began to say, my voice cracking when tears slid down my cheeks overwhelmingly.

“NO!” beomgyu yelled, his eyes abruptly darkening under the dim lighting.

and before we all knew it, beomgyu attacked the man, who was obliviously calling the phone and got a hold of the gun from his grasp after fighting over it with him.

“now now, there there son, put the gun down!” the man muttered, his hands raising up behind his head as beomgyu positioned the gun securely at him, a hint of fear in his voice.

“beomgyu-“ taehyun pleaded, his eyebrows contorted with dread and panic.

beomgyu shook his head quickly, his fingers resting on the trigger steadily, aiming it at the man with a dangerous look in his eyes.

“beomgyu put the gun down!” soobin yelled, his voice firm and hoarse, “right this damn instant, man!”

“listen to the boy, son,” uttered the man, in an authoritative tone, gradually kneeling down before beomgyu.

“he’s not going to listen…” yeonjun murmured, unintentionally prompting beomgyu more as his grip tightened on the trigger, “to any of us…”

huening kai stepped closer, laying both of his hands on beomgyu’s shoulder firmly, “beomgyu please don’t do this-“ huening kai coaxed.

several flashy and strident noises aired and with that the same warm liquid splashed on all of us.

the man’s body slumped to the floor face first with a thump, still and unmoving. the liquid progressively pouring out from within him.

I let out an excruciatingly loud screech, the horrendous sensation of the liquid hugging my body. my entire body quaking with shock and horror. my eyes widening in disbelief.

soobin drops the lifeless body he was holding onto; landing with a thud on the cold stone floor. his shaky hands running through his hair.

taehyun burst into fit of tears, slumping to the floor and backing away. yeonjun stood horror-stricken, his face growing ashen.

huening kai abruptly pulls me into an embrace; wrapping his arms around me, burying his face in my hair, inhaling the scent and taking a deep, shaky breath. his whole body trembled involuntarily against my skin.

i held him back, pulling him close. my grip on his shirt tightening. letting my cries echo throughout the room, slightly muffled against him. my dribbling tears running endlessly on his shirt.

“I didn’t I… didn’t… I…” beomgyu dropped the gun with a clunk, the realization hitting him, his whole body quaking frenziedly, “didn’t… m-mean… to..”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀PRESENT MOMENT .

"h-harin... i never got to tell you..." huening kai starts to say, his voice dropped to a whisper. taking small movements towards me, "so many things..."

everyone shifts their fearful and pained gazes at me. the sound of footsteps and police sirens echoing through the tension in the air.

"no, ha-rin... i also have something to tell you..." soobin chimes in, sauntering over to me from behind huening kai.

"what is-" I murmured, my teary eyes traveling from between the two as they stood tall before me. gazing down at me with the similar look in their eyes.

“hands up everyone! put your hands behind your heads where we can see them!" alerted a male officer, pulling out his handcuffs.

several other officers did the same. pointing their guns at us they walked in. my heart sinking at the sight of them.

we all raise our hands up as they pulled the handcuffs on us. the soreness raged throughout my body when my small wrists were wedged together by the force and deliberate pull of the handcuffs.

the officers dragged us out of the building and into different police cars. beomgyu’s cries became more prominent at the reality of the situation.

“and just like that… w-we never went to the spring festival,” beomgyu murmured, attempting to smile but failing miserably, “what… a day i-it… would’ve been…”

“we would’ve been… so happy…” taehyun mumbled, his voice fading away as the police dragged them off, “together…”

eventually I ended up in the same police car as soobin and huening kai. the silence was neither comfortable nor uncomfortable.

huening kai leans his head and rests it on my shoulder. from my peripheral vision, soobin's lips pursed into a frown.

“remember when w-we said we will always have… each other?” soobin whispered airily, his voice slightly cracking, tilting his head to fully catch our gazes.

“even when we fight…?” huening kai whispered back, his eyebrow raised up, his expression sulky and dreary.

“yes even when we fight…” soobin whispered, letting out a soft chuckle, his voice low and his expression growing soft and solemn.

“always,” I murmured, my voice etched with a pained tone. tears gradually sliding down my swollen red eyes.

“it was our promise,” huening kai whispered, his gaze falling to the floor.

the policemen at the front entered the car, shutting the doors noisily beside them as the car began to move.

“but maybe that promise is broken.”⠀⠀
