"Are you sure we're going in there?" HyeMi asked the girl who was walking into the woods. "It really looks eerie here, what if there're wild beasts in there?" HyeMi muttered soft enough for JaeIn to hear as she stick close to JaeIn, with her arm hooked around JaeIn's.

"Don't worry, there won't be any. We just need to collect a few plant specimens for our science project and we'll get out okay?" JaeIn assured HyeMi as she wander deeper into the woods.

Looking around, there isn't really anything fascinating for JaeIn to bring it back home so she decided to just leave the woods. "Alright, there's nothing much here. HyeMi-ah, let's go back." JaeIn said and turned around, pulling HyeMi out of the woods.

While walking, a strong gust of wind swept past their feet, bringing those fallen leaves that were once on the floor high up in the air. What was that? Jaein looked around for a few second before her eyes landed on something like a shadow behind a bush. Curious brought her feet up as JaeIn walked towards the bush, but was pulled back by the HyeMi who was getting ready to pee in her pants.

"Let's just go," HyeMi said in a tone of almost whispering. 

"Alright... Let's just, go..." JaeIn said as the two walked out of the woods.

Turning to her back once more, JaeIn stared at the bush and the black figure was now gone. The birds chirped as the sun let it's ray hit onto the petals of the wild flowers that was blooming beautifully by the sides of the pathway. 

I'm pretty sure there's something there...

That night, JaeIn was in her room doing some research on her lap top when she heard a loud rustling of tree leaves right outside of her window. Pushing herself away from the study table, JaeIn pushed the curtain to the sides as she looked outside of her window. 

Nothing was there.

Just as when JaeIn was about the let the curtain fall back to its original position, something caught her eye. It was a figure lying beside the dog house at the front yard. It's moving. No, it is breathing. Squinting her eyes into two thin lines, JaeIn realized that a human was lying right there.

Her eyes widen as she ran out of her room frantically and down the stairs as she dash out of her house. Letting her legs take her to the dog house, JaeIn approached the figure with cautious steps. The figure had messy hair and wounds all over his body. The corner of his lips bleed a little and there is also a small bruise below his eye. His clothes were torn and dirty. His finger nails were trapped with dirt and it was long.

What is he...

"Yah.." JaeIn called out softly as she bent over to shake him by his shoulder.

The figure that was lying on the ground opened his eyes and stared at JaeIn. "Are you okay?" JaeIn asked.

The figure said nothing but nodded as he tried to sit up. JaeIn took a few steps back and stared at him. Was her eyes playing tricks on her or was she actually officially insane? She actually found this cave man handsome.

Just as she was about to ask him further question, Kai sense that danger is near him. He immediately picked JaeIn up by wrapping an arm around JaeIn's waist as he leap to the balcony of JaeIn's house which was on the second floor and leaped into the house. What was heard in this neighborhood was nothing but JaeIn's ear piercing scream.
