[JESSE P.O.V]

“YOU!?” She yelled at me with her eyes also narrowed. I couldn’t help to snap back coldly:

“YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!”

I stared at her incredulously as if my eyes were seeing some kind of mirage, this can’t be real. I mean, I don’t know if I should feel blessed or cursed. However, when I saw a sly smile in her face, my blood boiled. I couldn’t help to bark at her as I widened my eyes, already feeling the sand pushing me down:

“HWANG! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? ONE MORE MINUTE HERE AND I WILL BE FINISHED!”

“Oh… am I hearing right? The ice-cold Jung it’s asking… for my help?”

I swear to God that I was almost jumping out from that stupid sand to teach her some good lessons. I must say that ‘surprised and innocent’ look on her face was making me REALLY mad. Yet, when I was about to shout at her once again, I heard another steps coming to our direction. Breathing deeply in anticipation, I looked to the sound’s source as Tiffany did the same thing. But, everything became more soother when another familiar girl wearing a kind expression and a red/white outfit (resembling an anime girl) looked at me and gasped in shock. She looked at Tiffany with her eyes wide as she yelled in frustration:

“Unnie! Take Jesse oppa out from there! You know it’s dangerous!”

I sigh in relief since at least, Seohyun didn’t heir her sister bad genes. Yet, for my surprise that cocky Hwang only shrugs her shoulders dismissively as she utters nonchalantly:

“What? Ah come on Hyun. He is only overreacting; there is no need to be worried.”

Even when I felt my blood boiling again with her answer, I felt getting deeper on that mud. When I looked down, I widened my eyes when I saw the quicksand almost reaching my chest. Despaired, I already was tired of that spoiled princess’s answer. Not holding anymore, I barked loudly to her:

“ARE YOU FREAKING DEAF?! DO YOU THINK I WOULD IT BE JOKING ABOUT THAT, HUH?!”

“YA! YOU! DON’T SCREAM AT M--!”

“Arghhhh QUIET YOU TWO!”

Tiffany and I widened our eyes due Seohyun’s outburst since this scene was very odd. The younger girl was really pissed as she balled her fists tightly and breathing deeply to control her anger…

[SEOHYUN P.O.V]

“Arghhhh… QUIET YOU TWO!”

I know I am very VERY collected and calm person, but seriously, those two are making me crazy already! They can’t stop one minute without yell at each other. Yet, although I wanted to scold them more, they kept staring at me with their widened eyes in shock like a ‘gaping fish’. I breathed heavily as I adjusted myself, I had to think and FAST! Quickly looking to my surroundings in an attempt to save Jess-oppa, once I turn around, I found a long and strong branch to use in our plan. After I carefully stepped close to the quicksand, I extended my arm as I spoke loudly to oppa:

“Oppa! Hold tight!”

He simply nodded at me as he held the branch’s tip tightly. I stood before at him as I motioned with my eyes for my unnie give me some help:

“Unnie! Quickly, grab the other branch’s tip.”

Suddenly, she pouted and asked nonchalantly:

“Awww SeoHyunnie… cant we let him there a little more?”

“WHAT?!” I yelled in unison with Jesse-oppa as both of us stared at my sister incredulously. Out of sudden, she quickly reached the branch after I glared at her. She chuckles nervously and eye-smiled at me:

“Hehehehehe I was only joking, SeoHyunnie.”

After narrow my eyes at her, I rolled my eyes and shook my head in frustration. Once again, I gasped when I saw Jesse-oppa falling deeper on the sand, even when I was really anxious and worried to get him out of there, I could catch a glimpse of a slight semblance on my unnie’s face… it was almost if… she was apprehensive and worried too. So acting quickly, I tightened the grip on the branch as I yelled in determination:

“Oppa, we will pull you on three, ok?!”

“Okay, but fast! It’s getting hard to keep my balance, the sand its pulling me!” 

“All right… One… Two…” Fany unnie and I took a deep breath as I nodded at her and we put all our strength in a swift pull. So I finally yelled:

“THREE! GO!”

*Panting*

After we made a strong pull, I end up falling atop of my sister as oppa fell on the other side safely, yet with his clothes completely drenched in mud. All of us were breathing heavily as I rolled from Fany unnie while we were regarding our breath. Afterwards, when we were fine again, oppa smiled tiredly at me as he genuinely thanked:

“You did an excellent work! I don’t know what would happen if you weren’t here. Thank you, SeoHyunnie.”

I smiled at him, shaking shook my head humbly as something clicked in my mind. At the corner of my eyes, I hid a smile in my lips as I tapped my unnie’s shoulder, speaking:

“Oh oppa… actually, you shouldn’t just thank me. Fany unnie helped me a lot too to save you!”

Once I ended my sentence, they both locked an intense stare… “Good! This can be a start, right?” I was laughing in my mind as they kept staring each other until… Jesse’s oppa semblance turned to cold again as he frowned and spoke wryly:

“Right… thanks for your ‘great’ help… Hwang…”

I could swear that I saw her nostrils blowing as she answered with a brown raised in a cocky voice:

“Oh of course… did you really though that I would let you hanging there… Jung?”

He laughed wryly as he gritted his teeth out of sudden: “Do I really need to answer?”

“Ya! I was making you a favor! You should be thankf---!!!”

“STOP YOU TWO! DON’T START ANOTHER FIGHT AGAIN! PLEASE!”

I had to scream at them or else, they would end up discussing with no tomorrow and this was making my head hurts. They clamp their mouths as them both mumbled guiltily with their heads lowered:

“Sorry, SeoHyun” “Yeah, sorry Seohyunnie.”

When I took a deep breath, I simply answered already massaging my temples:

“That’s fine, the most important that everyone is safe now, right?”

They nodded in agreement as our talk ceased. However, it didn’t even take one minute for us to listen a loud roar. We stared each other in fear as out of sudden, we started to sprint between the woods with Fany-unnie yelling from the top of her lungs:

“LET’S GET OUT HERE! I DON’T WANT TO BE A BEAST’S BREAKFAST!”

We took a good time running to foil the unknown beast. After we realized that we were in a safe location again, my unnie and I leaned on a palm tree as we seated under the tree’s shadow. Jesse oppa did the same thing, yet he sat across us as he was breathing hard. Once we were resting, I remembered something as I curiously asked:

“Oh oppa… I was wondering… how did you end up on this place? I mean, what we are doing in such place like this? I – I don’t understand.”

Although I saw him taking a deep breath and his semblance a little tense, he sighed deeply as he shook his head, saying with head lowered:

“I – I don’t have any idea, Seohyunnie. All I know is that… last night I was sleeping on my bed and when I woke up, well… I already was here.”

I pursued my lips as I exchange some glances with my sis. The same thing happened to us; it was when oppa asked curiously:

“And what about you two?”

“Dunno… everything was normal… yet, just like you… after we slept, once we awoken, we realized that we already were trapped on this wild jungle. I must say that we are lucky to stay together, you know… if we didn’t listen your screams… we would end up lost or maybe… *gulp* something worse…”

Even when I tried to hide the nervousness of being in such unknown and dangerous place, I felt my heart squeezing in my chest. So out of sudden, I felt I light touch on my shoulder, once I look up, I found oppa looking back at me with a comforting smile:

“I don’t know how, but we are going to get out of this one together okay? Remember, you have both of us.”

I can’t explain, but after I saw that smile on Jesse-oppa lips, I felt really better, much more when I saw Fany unnie smiling at me as well. Seconds later, oppa scanned our surroundings as he smiled weakly after take a look on his dirty clothes:

“Well, I guess I will let you two here. I need get a rid of my dirty cloth. I will come back in a few minutes. Be careful…”

He started to jog away for a lake not so far from us, so out of sudden; he looked back to me and sis as he spoke seriously:

“Both of you.”

I couldn’t help to smile with his care, much more when I saw a small and slight soft expression on my unnie’s face when she looked at him. Yet, once my unnie stared at me again, I raised my brown when her semblance turned to something more mischievous as she poked my cheek playfully:

“Seohyun-ah! Can I ask you something?” Hmm, why do I have a bad feeling about this…?

“Huh … s-sure unnie, what?” Her expression brightened when I answered, so she starts:

“Yesterday on the bleachers… I was about to ask you that, but we didn’t have time… yet I could realize that you looked so embarrassed that time… it did happened something wrong?”

I gulped and looked to the ground at the same moment as I started to put a strand of hair behind my ear nervously:

“Wha-What? I mean… is that all? I – I don’t know what you are talking about, unnie…”

Once I looked up, I saw that glint of curiosity in her eyes, rather… her puppy eyes… It was when she added while poking my cheek teasingly with a cocky smile in her face:

“So… who … you… met… there… hmmmmmmm? I think it was someone special… or you wouldn’t be blushing right now hahahahha”

“UNNIE!” I scolded her, but it was too late. My cheeks were on fire when I recalled the past events… indeed… I think she was right… Arghhh this girl… sometimes I ask to myself if she really is my unnie or my dongsaeng. So, while I was staring her ‘begging eyes’, I sighed in defeat as I uttered weakly and she already was shrinking in happiness while holding my arm:

“Well, it was so fast… but… yesterday when I was coming back to the bleachers…”



A few minutes ago in somewhere on the jungle… 

[YOONG P.O.V]

There was I dreaming with her again… Every since yesterday, I can’t stop thinking on her…
Aish, I was about to keep lost in my thoughts about that shy girl again when something caught my attention. Sounds like waves came to my ears and it was undeniable that I almost could feel the smell of the sea… Wait-wait-wait what?! Did I say sea?! I live on city for God’s sake, how can I feel the sea’s smell from here? Once my brain got the idea, I also felt something wet under me. Starting to feel worried, I snapped my eyes open and I gasped.

“!!! W-h-a-t –t-h-e?!”

I widened my eyes in shock with the sight before me… a beautiful and crystalline sea. With my mouth still hanged open, I started to get up slowly as I looked around me. Is this some kind of dream? This must be! Although the place was amazing, I wanted to wake up already; so I started to rub my eyes furiously when I saw that this exotic landscape wasn’t disappearing… Feeling much nervous, I tried everything, slap my cheeks; pinch myself, I even bit my hand to be assure that I was dreaming, but none… the places remains. Ouch, it hurts! Hold on a sec! It was I finally realized… this was real! I was stuck in the middle of nowhere… alone…

“Ahhhhhh CR@P! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?!”

When the despair was about to consume me, I hastily scanned my surroundings to find an anything to help me get out of here. Yet, when my eyes caught a glimpse of a motionless body sprawled on the sand, I gulped in fear. Nonetheless, I had to figure out; so when I carefully walked to the ‘body’, I realized that it was a girl wearing some kind of weird costume, you know, like those animes. Then, when I step closer to see the girl’s face, another gasp… I doubled my eyes when it was… my sister, what the hell is she doing here?!

Completely worried, I started to shook her body, yelling a top of my lungs:

“Noona! WAKE UP, DAMN IT!”

Out of sudden, she mumbled sulkily at me, still not opening her eyes:

“Arghhh! Quiet, Yoong! I won’t fall in your pranks again! Just let me sleep!”

I sighed in frustration as I shook her body harder, yelling again:

“I know it’s hard to believe! But this isn’t a joke! Wake up already, Kwon Yuri!”

“YA! WHAT’S WRONG WITH YO--?!”

She stopped her words when she opened her eyes and saw our surroundings. And yes, she hastily stood up, agape when she scanned the place and just like me, she started hyper-v
