The night was at the point when it was not yet deep but it was getting there. Most of the lights on streets have been switched off in order to save precious electricity because there was never enough of it. Some of the lights on streets have been blickering, which reminded Eunwoo of the times when she was a kid and she played with her friends outside till late night hours not caring about the whole world. The night was cold, and Eunwoo noticed it was starting to snow a little bit when she looked at one of the lights.

She shivered when one snowflake fell behind her collar, but she continued running with Yebin right in front of her. Eunwoo was a little but worried about this part of their escape since she was not too much of a runner, but she never gave up and followed Yebin.

They had to get out of the city without being noticed, because people were not allowed to leave the city.

Yebin whispered, arbuptly stopped running and grabbed the hand of Eunwoo who had no idea what was happening. Yebin pulled her to a side of the streed between two trash cans full of flyers.

Eunwoo wanted to ask Yebin what she was doing but she did not dare to make a sound because she heard two men, probably night guards talking.

" I swear those rebel are getting out of the place! "

One man with husky voice that sounded like a voice of a smoker spoke up lazily.

" I hope they calm down, these night shifts are getting unbearable...and I am getting annoyed by shooting those idiots, the soil is going to freeze soon and it will be too hard to bury them. "

Eunwoo held her breath because the voi
