Soohyun’s heart pounded incredibly loud against her chest as the sudden realization dawned at her. How come Baekhyun wasn’t here before she even arrived? Did something happened? Where is he? Where are they? If something happened to them, then what was she supposed to do then? Soohyun thought of ways on how to actually save herself from the dreadful situation and how to at least also save Jongdae from it. 

Before Soohyun could even think of ways that may seem impossible for the both of them to pull off, she heard Jongdae spoke. 

“You know me?” he asked with confused eyes as he directed himself towards her. Soohyun was too wrapped up with the thought that maybe Baekhyun and the others are caught up in a trouble that’s why they weren’t at the tent right now, that’s why she had given no answer to Jongdae’s question at all. 

Jongdae had to repeat himself before finally getting Soohyun’s attention. Soohyun looked at him, still unable to give a proper response to his question. Her thoughts started running wild on her mind as soon as she broke eye contact with Jongdae. How could they possibly run into trouble when they’re all skilled enough to take everyone down? Soohyun couldn’t come up with a reason on why Baekhyun still hasn’t saved Jongdae. 

“Hey, are you alright?” Soohyun heard Jongdae asked. 

“Baekhyun. Where is he? Where’s—why isn’t he here? He’s supposed to save you. He should be he—“ 

“Wait. You also know Baekhyun?” Jongdae asked, now looking more confused than ever. This time, Soohyun managed to at least give a nod as a response to his question. Jongdae looked incredibly appalled by the fact that she knew Baekhyun at all. She wanted to explain everything to him but before she could even do that, several men entered the tent with knives on their hands. One man immediately went to Jongdae and gave him a talk which Soohyun couldn’t hear as she was being dragged outside after loosening her up. She gave Jongdae one last look before finally leaving the tent. 

Terror filled Soohyun’s body as soon as she stepped out of the tent. What once looked a quiet and highly-secured camp now looked the complete opposite—there were lifeless bodies lying on the ground, several tents were already on fire and some were even destroyed—Soohyun dreaded the thoughts that came running on her mind. Did they did this? Was this Baekhyun’s doing? Soohyun can’t even imagine how bad it was when he talked about the fight they had with the Mountain Lions before because this one looks bad enough. 

Soohyun winced in pain when she felt a harsh tug from the man that was holding her as he dragged her forward. Soohyun tried to look around to see if Baekhyun and Sehun was still there but she can’t see any of them. They walked for a few more minutes until they came with an abrupt stop. Soohyun had to balance herself well so that she won’t fall because the man suddenly released her arms. She brought her head up and her eyes widened at the sight in front of her. 

There, Baekhyun was standing, along with Sehun. Baekhyun was heavily breathing as he looked at Soohyun’s direction. His stares undeniably made her feel small in every possible way. He looked mad and that’s what scared Soohyun the most. He warned her, told her that he doesn’t have the time to save two people but look at her, she’s let herself be captured and now she needs him to save her. Soohyun looked away as she felt herself slowly breaking down with Baekhyun’s intense stares. 

“Don’t move,” Baekhyun said. 

In a swift moment, Baekhyun and Sehun were able to take down the man that was holding Soohyun a while ago. Soohyun watched as Baekhyun walked towards her. She immediately looked away when he was just a feet away from her. 

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I didn’t know they’re going to find me there. I’m sor-“ 

“Are you hurt anywhere?” Baekhyun calmly asked as he took her arms and scanned it. He let go of it once he saw nothing at all. 

Soohyun was more than shocked that Baekhyun didn’t even tried to raise his voice at her or even blame her for getting herself caught even though he told her not to. Instead, he calmly asked if she was hurt. Soohyun wasn’t exactly sure how to respond to that because it wasn’t the kind of question she was expecting to hear from him. 

“You’re not mad?” Soohyun finally managed to ask when they were just about to move. Baekhyun looked back and gave her a small tap on her shoulder. 

“I would be if they did something to you,” he gave a small smile. That smile. Soohyun had to take a brief moment to think if smiles can actually be blinding because the one she just saw seemed like it could make her actually go blind. When did smiles started to become blinding? She shook her head as she tried to get rid of that thought on her mind. 

“Now, time to get Jongdae’s back.” 

Soohyun told Baekhyun that she was brought in at the same tent as Jongdae’s. He asked her to describe Jongdae just to make sure it was him and after a moment of brief description, Baekhyun confirmed it was Jongdae. Soohyun tried to subtly ask what took him so long to get to the tent where Jongdae was and he just simply answered that something came up and he had to deal with it first. He also clarified that the mess at the camp wasn’t his doing—not all, partly though—because most of it were because of those stupid (that’s how he called the Mountain Lions) men who were trying to kill him but ended up either destroying their camp or ending their lives. 

Soohyun abruptly stopped at her tracks. Baekhyun had to look back to see if she was fine but the look on her face says nothing close to fine. She pointed her finger towards a tent that was already on fire and Baekhyun and Sehun looked at it. 

“That’s where Jongdae was. He’s still tied up inside when they took me out,” Soohyun said. It hasn’t been that long since she got out and met with Baekhyun and Sehun so maybe Jongdae already got out but if he still hasn’t then—

Baekhyun and Sehun immediately ran towards the tent without even saying a word. Soohyun had to run twice as fast as she could to match their paces but as soon as they arrived, Baekhyun had come to a complete stop and just looked at the burning tent. Sehun looked back and forth between Baekhyun and the tent because Baekhyun was doing nothing when he was supposed to do something. His body looked tense and his hands were in a tight fist, as if he wanted to do something but can’t. It was like he was restricting himself. 

“Jongdae! Jongdae are you in there?!” Sehun yelled. It didn’t took long when they all heard a faint voice coming from inside the tent. It was Jongdae, asking for help. He sounded like he was just about to collapse and Sehun was getting furious about Baekhyun doing nothing a

Chapter 34: I just wanna say, you did an amazing job characterizing Soohyun! A big part of her demeanor is reflective of the abuse that she underwent, and you consistently display how she constantly feels the need to justify herself, worries that she made someone angry, and always apologizes and second guesses herself. It's brilliant how rather than making her victimhood glaringly obvious, you reveal it through her behavior! On the surface it just appears that she is timid and has little to no confidence, which is true, but when we the readers really think about it, we quickly understand that the root cause of her behavior is the abuse she was subjected to by her family. It makes it so much exciting to read and anticipate her growth. Especially with this chapter, I am so excited to see herself no longer hold herself back and and truly become the person she is meant to be. This story is so exciting to read and I can't wait to read the upcoming chapters!!!
