Chapter 2
Overturned
They had to wait for another 20 minutes before the guard finally left. Onew then grabbed Jonghyun's wrist and run as fast as his legs let him. When they were far enough from the building Onew laughed loudly and ruffled the younger's not-really-there hair.
"We did it princess! Now we just need to find... ah! There it is!" Onew pointed at the hole in the fence that would allow them to step into the woods. "Be careful not to rip your clothes or hurt yourself, there are some wires sticking out."
Jonghyun nodded and when both of them were on the other side of the fence he closed his eyes and took a deep breath suddenly feeling extremely excited, his heart picking up pace. His lips stretched into a wide smile as he looked around himself in awe. He didn't remember forests being this beautiful and magical. And did night summer air always smell so damn good? He sped up a little with the sudden rush of energy that run through his veins.
