Kim Kyungmi P.O.V.

I heard my labored breathing fill the atmosphere around me.

All I could feel was my heart beating rapidly and I felt like I was floating on thin air. I tried to open my eyelids, but all I saw was black and I felt numb. I tried to open my mouth for air, but it just kept shut. I heard a light buzzing noise and felt the wind brush past me. 

Am I dying? I can't die now.

I tried sitting up, I tried opening my eyes, yet I still felt glued in place. 

No, no, you're wrong. You hear your own heart beating, you're still alive. But am I on the verge of death?

Suddenly, all the memories from what felt like seconds ago came rushing through my head. My eyes shot open and quickly glanced from left to right. I looked down and down my chest going up and down, following my breathing pattern. I then realized something was different, something felt empty from that dark morning when I left for school.

Bin.

I don't how I got the strength, but I sat up, something I didn't even dream of doing 5 seconds ago. I glanced from side to side, behind, in front, nothing. I felt tears well up in my eyes and I grew frightened. I could hear only myself panting and breathing, I could hear nothing else. I tried to scream his name, but my mouth was dry and my vocal cords wouldn't function properly. I felt myself hyperventilating, something I often did when I was stressed. Tears wet my dry cheeks and dripped down to my chapped lips. 

I clenched my fists, knowing he wasn't here with me. Tears fell into the blue ground below me and- wait.

Blue, blue grass? 

I coughed and looked at was underneath that grass.

Green soil?

"What the hell?" I immediately put my hand over my mouth in shock. "My voice!" I spoke to myself. I felt all numbness in my body go away and all the strength come back to my body. I tested my luck and tried to stand, but I fell back down at the shock. "Blue-blue grass? Soil, soil is g-green?" I stuttered to air. I then realized the dark sky above me. It was dark, very dark. The clouds were black and so was the sky. Blue grass, black sky? "Why is that the opposite of-" I couldn't even finish my words when all feeling went back into my legs and I jumped up. I gasped and looked around frantically. I felt my whole world spinning, not out of actual pain, but from shock. 

I was alone on a field of blue grass and green dirt, standing underneath a black sky with black clouds. I could barely see if it weren't for all the lights on and people running around. 

"Is, is this place..." I couldn't finish my words without running out of breath. That doesn't make any sense! This makes no sense! This is just some kind of sick joke! But, that isn't possible either. I screamed out of frustration of my own thoughts. I pulled on my black hair that may or may not be green because of the stupid dirt. "This can't be." Somehow, inside of me, that seemed like that only possible answer. "Logic, logic, this is not logical."

Whooping and yelling cut off my trail of thought. 

"Guys, guys, it's February 29, the next one has to be coming in today." I whipped my head towards the direction of the voices. 

"Mingyu, you can't be serious. That doesn't make sense." Another voice spoke.

"Shut up, you buzz kill!" The same voice I first heard yelled.

"Both of you, stop arguing. Mingyu, keep your voice down. Jungkook, Mingyu has a point. Every February 29, people just keep popping up. Even though we checked the usual place they usually pop up, doesn't mean that one isn't coming." 

"Seungcheol hyung! Thank you!" I cringed at the sound of his voice. 

"Hyung, the person didn't pop up at the Garden of Marbles just like I did." Wait, did he say marbles? 

"Well, maybe this one is special! I love special things!" The guy who I think was Mingyu who spoke first. 

Even though I had no idea who these people were, I was excited to the same of my kind.

"Hello!" I called out, waving my arms while at it. 

"Hey! Hey! We got a girl! Look! I told you!" I heard vicious stomps running towards me and the dirt picked up in the wind. I saw them have flashlights and lamps. The first guy popped up in my face, all like, 18o something centimeters of him, or something like that. I also noted his blueish, grayish hair. "Hi! My name is Kim Mingyu, do not be scared!" He shouted in my face. To be honest, I was kind of scared. I did not know these people, or where I was. I was always paranoid of everything. I miss Bin. 

My eyes pooled with shaky tears at the thought of the guy. 

"Idiot! You made her cry!" The other guy spoke, who also was very tall, but was a shorter and a normal height. His hair was jet black, the same as mine and he wore a scowl upon his face. Another guy then came up to me who was, again, also tall. He wore a friendly, kind, smile which made me trust him more than the other guy.

"Uh, hi, my name is Seungcheol, Choi Seungcheol. I'm one of the older boys, so I hope you feel comfortable around me. Please do not be hesitant to ask me questions about things here." I couldn't stop the tears that were still running down my face. 

"Hyung! You're not helping!" Mingyu said while pulling him away. I didn't even noticed the group of boys behind them because of my confused state. 

"No, no, it's not you guys, it's just-" What was I doing? I rarely ever cry, and never in front of people. I saw their expressions soften.

"Guys, let Jungkook and the others talk to her, they know how she's feeling." The boy who looked a bit scary walked forward again with the same, scary expression. He sighed in my face.

"Hi, I'm Jeon Jungkook. I was also in your place a while back, but I wasn't bawling like a wimp like you are, so stop. You're freaking everyone-" He was immediately pulled back by another guy who I suspected who also came here a while ago. The boy who pulled him away stood in front of me with a kind expression. He had brown hair, that I couldn't really tell was dark or light. He was a bit short, but he has similar eye smile to Bin, which made me cry a bit harder.

"You idiots, you don't know how to calm a lady down." Another tall guy who had brown hair came forward with a motherly expression and aura. He bent down slightly to my level and smiled serenely. "Hi there, why don't you tell us what's making you so upset?" He asked softly, brushing a strand of my long, black hair away from my face. I wiped my tears.

"I-I'm really s-sorry. I'm not usually like this, it's just, just." He patted my back while I took deep breaths. I locked eyes with the guy earlier who called me a wimp, and I avoided eye contact with him. I wanted to cry a bit harder when I felt immense pressure and fear. 

"It's fine, we won't judge you, we're safe people." By the tone of his voice, I believed him. I clamped my hand over my mouth when I felt like screaming and bawling my eyes out. I somehow found a word I wanted to say, and the person I wanted to see.

"Bin, Bin," I muttered out. The boys glanced around, looking at each other if Bin was an actual code of some sort. After I said his name, I found the power to calm myself down, knowing he would want me to be safe in this instance. 

"Bin? What is that? Binu? Soap? Do you want to shower?" He guessed while trying to take me somewhere. I shook my head quickly and stopped in my tracks. 

"No, no, Bin. He's my best friend, he was with me, and now." I couldn't help but feel emotional at him. The guy in front of me held my hand gently and I gripped it tightly. "He wanted for me to be safe! I said I wouldn't let go of his hand, but he didn't make it here! I feel so bad, he told me not to go alone," I finally sputtered out. I felt like a weight got lifted off my chest after telling them. All eyes were on me; their eyes will all filled with pity now. 

"I'm sure Bin is safe. He would want you to be safe as well," The guy spoke slowly. "And for you to be safe, you need to come with us." I assumed my face showed fear because of my nonexistent poker face. "We'll explain everything when we get you to safety, but for now, you need to trust us. We'll answer all your questions when we get back to the house, ok? We just need you to calm down, take three deep breaths, and calm down," He spoke with a gentle voice that I felt obligated to listen. I nodded to his commands and he smiled with relief. "Good, now let's get you to safety." 

I walked with him while I held onto him for support. All the other guys followed us, now the opposite of what they had been before; quiet. 

I closed my eyes, taking in my situation that still didn't make sense yet. 

Bin, Bin, I can't be here alone. I don't understand this. I just wish it were you guiding me out of here, not random citizens of this place. You would be much calmer in this situation. 

I clenched my one free fist with anger. It was your dream to discover this place; your only wish was to come with me and make sure I was safe, but that was the only thing that didn't happen. 

"Hey, hey, are you ok?" The boy asked. I didn't make eye contact and nodded. He sighed and kept walking in silence. The only sounds I could hear were the footsteps of like, 15 or more guys and the wind blowing harshly. I heard him clear his throat. "My name is Kim Seokjin by the way, but you can call me Jin. I'm the oldest of all the boys here right now, so don't hesitate to ask me questions either," He spoke with a welcoming tone. I nodded stiffly. I felt his slow down slightly. "And you are..." He trailed off. I then slapped a hand over my forehead.

"Oh gosh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kim Kyungmi." He smiled, and I felt obligated to show one back.

"Kyungmi, suits you," He added. I furrowed my eyes brows. What does that even mean? 

"Thanks." I stopped the conversation at that point because I realized I felt emotionally and physically drained at this point. I paused when I saw a car in the far distance. The car color was a bright pink which was harsh on the eyes. 

"And here we are, hop in." I followed his words and took shotgun. Jin hopped into the driver's seat and I looked back and saw like, 20 empty seats. My eyes widened in shock as all the boys hopped into the car. "Look forward, we're going to go a bit fast." I said nothing but looked in front of the car. Suddenly, I felt myself being thrown forward and the scenery changed from a calm one to a blurry one. 

"AAH!" I screamed, finding my voice that I didn't want to share. I heard chuckles from all the boys and I felt slightly embarrassed, but I did get terrible motion sickness. Before I knew it, I grabbed the closest bag and threw up in it. 

"Gross." I heard al the boys mumble. 

"There goes my bag," Mingyu said while pouting. A wave of guilt washed over me, but I couldn't apologize due to the next round.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't think you would get this sick so fast!" Jin exclaimed while patting my back when we got out of the car. I opened the door while shaking and fell onto the ground. I coughed up another one and felt a tear fall out of my eye, something that usually happened when I barfed. 

"It's fine, just stay quiet." I spoke with a ragged voice and coughed again, but nothing came up. 

"I was right, you are a wimp," I turned to my right and saw Jungkook smirking at me, at least that's the most emotion he's shown today. 

"Shut up, Jungkook. Can't you understand she gets sick when moving at a fast rate? There's nothing wrong with that," Jin stated while patting my back a pit harder than before. Jungkook scoffed. A warm feeling ran through my cheeks and my cheeks tinted pink. Gosh, why do I always blush? It ! I'm an open book! You can't even speak up for yourself because you're too scared. 

"Sure, it's cause she's a girl," He commented while shaking his head. Wait, did he just say because I'm a girl? My blood was boiling and my face turned a bright red, not due to embarrassment, but due to anger. 

"Repeat that!" I demanded in a clear tone. I felt the atmosphere turn tense and all the boys took one, or two, giant steps back. Jungkook smirked.

"Oh, so little Miss Red gets angry when her gender is insulted." I felt my heart throbbing and blood rushing as he spoke. My head was spinning and I couldn't focus. "Well, so let me so this again, you can't handle all of this because you're just a little girl." He then gestured to behind him. "Look at us, we're all men, a girl has no business being here. You're too weak." I clenched my fists tightly, also clenching onto the bag that I was holding. He picked his hand up and touched my face. I couldn't help but blush at the contact. He chuckled. "You're the same as any other girl, why the hell did you come here?" He tested while dropping his hand from my face. Dammit, the blush is still there. Control your blush, god dammit! Get angry! Get real angry, Kyungmi! You don't take ism! "Maybe that's why Bin left you, he couldn't take being with a stupid, wimpy, little girl. He should really get new friends. A girl is nothing to men-" Before I knew it, I pushed him backwards. 

"Woah, woah, woah, hey-" Jin called out to me, pulling on my one free hand. Jungkook chuckled, taunting me.

"Wow, I was right, you are weak. Weak like a little girl." He emphasized the last sentence to push my buttons more. I felt my heart pounding and my heart was dizzy, I couldn't think straight, I couldn't think at all. "Look at you, you're so pathetic-" 

It all happened so fast, but I couldn't think of anything else to do. I knew my strength couldn't beat him, at least physically. Mentally, I was pretty stupid and I couldn't think of cool comebacks on the spot.

My body reacted on its own; I had a habit of doing the worse things at the worse times. 

I realized then that I should have thought longer before Jungkook was drenched in my fresh bile.
