Chapter 21
TWICELAND"Can we take a rest please?" Chaeng asked once again.
It had been more than two days since the three of them traveled together. They were walking deep in the forest and made a make shift shelter at night. Today was no different and they have been walking for hours.
Jihyo stopped her tracks and complied. She had been like a leader and everyone listens and follow her words. Even though Suga is the strongest among them, he do what Jihyo says.
"I think its going to rain. We need to find a shelter." Jihyo said while pointing at the dark clouds approaching.
"You are right. It's almost turning dark too. We have to hurry." Suga said.
"Aww. But I'm really tired. I can't walk anymore." Chaeng whined.
"We just rested earlier." Tzuyu told her.
"You're lucky with your long legs. Mine are short so I work twice the effort." Chaeng stuck her tongue out.
Suga just rolled his eyes with her childishness.
"We can have a break for a couple more minutes. Is that ok with you Chaeng?" Jihyo suggested.
Chaeng smiled and hugged her. "Thank you unnie.
Jihyo smiled back at her but Suga can see the worry in her eyes.
"I'll carry her at my back so we can go now." Suga said.
The three girl looked at him surprised.
"If we don't hurry up, we will get caught by the storm. There's no assurance that we can see a shelter that easily." He explained.
"But oppa, you are tired too. It's only a couple of minutes anyway " Jihyo said.
"But that's not what I see in your eyes. You know time is more important right now." Suga explained.
"Come on. Hop on." He slightly bend his knee so that Chaeng can hop on his back.
"You don't have to do it. I can carry her myself." Tzuyu said.
"You?!" Both Jihyo and Suga said.
Tzuyu held the back of Chaeng shirt and held the girl up high from the ground with ease.
Both Jihyo and Suga's eyes widened.
"Put me down!" Chaeng said while struggling.
With that, Tzuyu instantly lets go causing her to fall in the ground.
"Ouch!" The small girl glared at her.
"I'm gonna tell Mother about this." She threatened her.
"Go ahead. And I'll tell her you were a whiny little baby." Tzuyu retorted.
Their bickerings continued until Jihyo cut them off.
"You are so strong Tzuyu-ah!"
"We, at the Amazon have special powers. Mine is strength. Chaeng can levitate things." She explained.
"That's amazing!" Jihyo exclaimed.
"Mother knows we can help you so she let me and Chae to be with you." Tzuyu explained.
"I'm really grateful for that." Jihyo said with a smile.
"Let just us hurry now. Chaeng, hop on to me now." Tzuyu said.
"No need. I can do it. I have rested well earlier." Chae said.
"Then let's go." Suga took Jihyo's hand and led the group while walking fast.
"He sure like holding unnie's hand, right Tzuyu?" Chaeng whispered to Tzuyu while looking at Suga's hand on Jihyo's wrists.
Chaeng have been a keen observer about the two on the very begining. She would notice on how Suga would help all the girls out and Jihyo would always be the last one but would receive an extra more care from the guy.
There was a time that they were crossing over a stream. She was the first one to cross and Suga held her hand so she can cross safely. Next one is Tzuyu who got threated the same. And when it was Jihyo's turn, Suga also held out his hand but never let it go even after crossing it.
"Maybe, but that doesn't matter to us." Tzuyu stated as matter of frankly.
"It does to me." Chaeng muttered but inaudible to be heard by the tall girl.
A moment later and the rain began to pour out.
"Hurry guys." Suga yelled out. He held out his coat and covered the girls.
Jihyo "fixed" it and covered the two of the girls instead.
"Jihyo, protect yourself from the rain too." Suga scolded her.
"I can manage. The cold doesn't really bother me anyway."
She knows it was not enough for the three of them so she compromised.
"There! I can see it. There's a Cave over
