That was the only scene replaying in my head as I walked the empty streets that night, running away from my horrible reality. My mom and dad had abandoned me a few weeks ago, so I fell in love with a girl, who brought me back food and warm blankets. Her mom let me inside, but her dad hated me with a passion. I was told that I had to go, he didn't care where, but I had to leave. So I asked Hyo Min to come with me if I left, and she agreed.

Until now.

Now I was only walking alone, passing closed stores and orange street lights. I no longer had anywhere to go. I drifted away from the town into the woods to not be seen by people as a broken, desperate, and homeless soul. I was not desperate or broken, but I was without a home. I traveled around every individual tree, getting as lost as I possibly could. Or as lost as I needed to be. The sun came up, and I was far away from civilization. But the problem was, I was freezing, sweaty, and dehydrated. When I needed help the most, everyone was gone.

As my feet ached and crumbled, I allowed myself to take a break. I lied down in the fallen leaves, breathing harder than before but still not hard enough to concern me. Soon enough, I finished my "break" and kept going. Well, at least until I heard a blood curdling howl, so I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around. I saw a fierce wolf growling at me, which made me stumble backwards and trip over a log, and I figured out there was a downhill part right behind that log. I fell and rolled down, hitting branches and rocks until I was finally caught by a tree at my left side. My side felt as if I'd rather die than suffer such pain.

There was silence for a while as I refused to move. I closed my eyes and hoped it wouldn't last much longer. When I opened my eyes again, there were white balls falling from the sky; Snow. How long was I out? I sat up immediately and got up, ignoring any pain that may have bothered me. My feet made a successful crunch in the newly fallen snow that had painted over the ground as I walked down the hill to a lake.

"Thank god," I stated once I noticed there was a water source in sight. I ran down the rest of the hill and once I got down, I jabbed my hands into the water. Well, more like onto it; I felt awful when I realized that the lake was frozen solid, or to be more accurate, at least seven centimeters thick. It must have been frozen for a long time for it to be this thick. No animal could survive like this, leading me to believe that no wolves would occupy this forest. No water, freezing, snowing, no food. Best conditions to sleep in.

"C'mon, please unnie? We have to go ice skating! Look at the water! It's frozen, so we can skate on it for a little while, right?" A girl's voice woke me up. I couldn't feel anything anymore, and if I moved, I was afraid I would break off each of my frozen fingers. I could still move my neck, so I turned it slowly to see the girl. There were two of them, both holding a pair of ice skates in hand and one who was a little taller with longer, light brown hair was being pulled by the shorter, jet-black short-haired one by the hand.

"Fine," the other one groaned. The younger girl, a little younger than me by about a year, let go of her and squealed excitedly.

"Yay! Thank you, unnie!" She piped. I watched them put on their skates and start skating along the ice with fancy moves like jumps or twirls. It was the only thing that would silence my hunger, thirst, and lack of body heat. Finally, after about 45 minutes, the unnie got tired and they both put on their shoes again. But it horrified me when she looked over to me.

"Hey, do you see that guy over there?" She started out. The younger girl whipped around and looked at me, but then she came over to me with the other girl.

"Are you okay?" The younger one asked. She was quickly moved aside by her unnie while she took her dongsaeng's place, but she also got on her knees to look me in the eyes with a concerned expression.

"How long have you been here?" She asked. I brought up a hand that was more or less controllable and showed two purple and dying fingers, to which she gasped and looked back into my eyes.

"Two days? In that clothing? Do you know how freezing it gets around here?" I didn't respond. She pulled my body up, but I couldn't move. I was helpless, for every muscle in my body was slowly dying and letting itself wear away. I gave her a hopeless gaze, but she seemed determined to keep me from death. The dongsaeng helped her lift me up and drag back to their home, at which point I was too cold to stay conscious.
