Niel lazily opened his eyes, he's awaken because of his hyung's been coughing since morning comes. Niel's looking at his hyung, crumpled on his thigh, his arms crossed and his hands were hiding behind his oversized hoodie sleeves.    "Hyung...", he whispered softly. L.Joe tried to opened his eyes. He put his hands between his feet. Seems like rain were falling while they're asleep, this morning is cold, you can even see the fog hanging on the vast field in front of them. Niel helped L.Joe to sit. He's still coughing. Niel put his hand on L.Joe's forehead. "I think you've got fever, hyung", Niel said. "Ohhh.. ", L.Joe leaned his back, put his head on Niel's shoulder. Niel's looking at him closely. He round his arm and rubbed L.Joe's shoulders so he will get warmer. "It's alright...", L.Joe sank his face in Niel's chest half asleep.   "I had a weird dream last night", said L.Joe. "What dream?", asked Niel. Then L.Joe remembered that kiss he felt on his forehead. "Hum... Nevermind", L.Joe said. Niel's looking into his eyes meaningfully, then he smiled. "You had a deep sleep last night... there's no way you're dreaming", said Niel. "How did you know? Are you stay up all night?", asked L.Joe curiously. Secretly hoping Niel would say that he indeed kissed him last night. "You didn't say weird thing while you sleep", said Niel. "Ah... really. That's a good thing", said L.Joe. Niel chuckled; "Yeah". "Did you have a good night sleep last night?", asked L.Joe. "I did. Why?", Niel couldn't hide his smile. They exchanged glances for a minute long. L.Joe still try to figure out his dongsaeng's mind, whether he's hiding something. "Maybe it was just a dream...", said L.Joe quietly.   L.Joe started to coughing again. "Ahh these coughs are so annoying", L.Joe weakly yelled. "Hang on, there, hyung", Niel rubbed L.Joe's shoulders once again. "Should I robbed a bank like Changjo did?", Niel took the gun from his pocket. L.Joe's looking at it and grabbed the gun. "Don't even think about that. You can't even hold this thing", said L.Joe. "Hyung... have you shot someone before?", asked Niel. "Couple times. No one died tho... I guess I don't have the heart too... I always missed the critical spots", said L.Joe, he straighten his position and threw the gun away. "I'm glad you didn't kill anyone before", L.Joe continued. "Um", Niel nodded. "Chunji said, once you killed someone you won't be able to feel happy anymore", L.Joe said, folded up his feet on the bench and put his arms between his chest and legs. "That's why he's like that", said Niel. "He never told me explicitly what happened when he was a kid, but I could draw a conclusion that he killed someone close to him", L.Joe said. "What?", said Niel. "Funny, right... we always think that we had the worst nightmare in our lives, and this world is a hell. But then, there's always another person who suffered more than us. Either they became an evil or a saint, they survived their lives", said L.Joe, gazing towards the foggy field. Niel smiled. He never was in the world L.Joe's talking about. Though his parents died when he was really young, he had a happy family and life before. He didn't know what the emptiness of hating your own existence feels like.   "L.Joe-hyung is a survivor", said Niel, round his arm around L.Joe again. L.Joe looked down and smiling shyly. "Nielie... it's really cold", L.Joe started to cough. It's not even 7 o'clock yet, Niel worried about L.Joe's state. His face is so pale, the bruises on his cheek are not yet healed. And they don't have any money. Niel look to his right and left. There's no car passing. At all. "What should we do really...", said Niel desperately. "Hyung... I will take a walk to the South, see is there anyway I could find foods for us", said Niel. "Don't!", said L.Joe straight away. "I will come back, I promise", said Niel with happy face, try to give positive attitude towards his hyung. "No no no. We stick together", said L.Joe. Niel sighed heavily. "What then? should we wait for a miracle by sitting at this bus stop all day long?!", said Niel, raising his voice. L.Joe's staring at Niel with his tired eyes. He then took a deep breath. He put his feet on the ground and shakily try to stand up. His head is spinning, Niel hold his arm before he fell down. "Let's walk together", said L.Joe, focusing his sight. "Hyung...", Niel tried to put L.Joe back on his seat. "Yah", L.Joe pull his arm from Niel's grip. "Do you think I like being someone's burden?!", said L.Joe quite angry at Niel. "I don't mean that...", Niel tried to comfort L.Joe. "We want this new life together. Then we suffer together. Let's walk together", said L.Joe with his hoarse voice before he choked in his coughs again. Niel smiled at his hyung's determination. "Okay okay, we walk together arm in arm... you couldn't even stand up right, hyung... look at you!", said Niel, still amused. L.Joe struggles with his coughs as he round his arm around Niel's waist and Niel carried L.Joe shoulder close. Then they walk together south, in theory, they could reach the Southern harbor only by walking following this road. But it would take days if not months.   "I once hadn't eat in two days straight and I was still perfectly healthy. I don't know what happened to me right now", said L.Joe, annoyed. "Really?", said Niel, disbelieved. "Nielie... I'm sorry you should worry about me like this", L.Joe said. "Eh... hyung, what are you talking about. We're sworn brothers, don't you remember?", Niel chuckled. "Oh God, that word again", said L.Joe, suddenly lose his mind. "Hahaha... Andy-hyung told me to take care of you, even Chunji told me to take care of you!. People care about you, hyung. Don't be so hard on yourself", said Niel. "Ah, really...", L.Joe smiled. "Everything will be alright", Niel L.Joe's head.   So they walk and walk and walk... The sun is gradually show itself between the grey cloud, as day gets brighter, couple of cars start passing by. Finally the eerie solitude feeling about this route 26 is changing little by little. Niel gave gesture to every car passing, but no one stops for a hitchhike. "Why are they so mean... ahhh", Niel whined. L.Joe still struggles with his own body. He doesn't have any energy left to answered Niel. "Hyung... should we stop for a moment?", said Niel, staring worriedly at his hyung. "No... just walk", said L.Joe. "Tsk... hyung, let me carry you on my back", said Niel. "Nielie... I keep imagining french fries in my head...", said L.Joe. Niel laughed; "Ah... what should we do, hyung. You must be really tired and hungry" "I'm dying I'm dying", said L.Joe. "Yah, don't say that word. You're freaking me out", said Niel. "Sorry", L.Joe chuckled.   Finally after they walked for about a half kilometer ahead, they see a glimmer of hope. There's stand a mini market, looks

Chapter 11: This is good. I really liked it, some grammar mistakes but not too many (why don't you get yourself a proof reader?? I bet if you open request many people would apply), great job. I would liked a longer storu but nevertheless I loved reading this.

The description is kind of weird, but good weird. I think it would draw more attention if the 2 paragraphs order was reversed, I mean, first the large explanation about Area 53 and then the catchy line of Niel and Ljoe. Just saying.
