When Kikwang arrived at the entrance of the forest, he saw IU was sitting, leaning at a tree, wearing Yoseob’s jacket while Yoseob was squatting beside her.

“Am I late?” Kikwang asked as he came to Yoseob.

“Yeah, very much late,” Yoseob answered although it was actually not that long but it felt longer as he was getting worried about IU. He could feel that her body was burning up when she was on her back.

Kikwang squatted beside IU and place her both hands under IU’s body.

“Wait,” Yoseob shouted a bit, wanted to warn Kikwang but he was too late. Kikwang had lifted her up.

‘Pok’

The sound of IU head hit the hard branch of the tree. Her forehead crooked as she started to felt the pain.

“I’m sorry,” Kikwang said out of shocked and surprised.

IU opened her eyes slowly. Kikwang. She recognized him. “Where am I?” IU asked, puzzled as her brain couldn’t work properly. She still felt very dizzy but she tried her best to remember what had happened.

Kikwang and Yoseob didn’t answer her question. They looked at each other and smiled at IU.

IU tried to look around and when she saw Yoseob, she started to remember. She started her words weakly. “Ah, I was in the forest .....” IU started to felt that the whole world was spinning, her eyebrows frowned and she closed her eyes to reduce the dizziness. Still, she tried to finish the sentence.

“With Yoseob sunbae....” IU started to collapse again.

Yoseob? Kikwang thought. She remembers Yoseob? That means... He quickly glared at Yoseob. “You were with her before she was unconscious, right?” He asked, sounded a bit mad.

Yoseob was a bit surprised but Kikwang was right. He was with IU before she collapsed.

“Yoseob, Kikwang. Where are you?” Their walkie-talkie sounded. Doojoon was asking them.

Yoseob took a glance at Kikwang angry expression before he took the walkie-talkie and replied. “We are almost there. Don’t worry,”

“Let’s go. Gina noona and Doojoon are worried,” Yoseob told Kikwang and quickly placed IU to his back. He didn’t feel good about letting Kikwang carried her.

Although Kikwang was a bit irritated, he still helped Yoseob placing IU on his back. Maybe because he felt like hitting Yoseob with his fist but he couldn’t with IU on his arms. But he also couldn’t do it with IU on Yoseob’s back. Kikwang tighten his fist.

“You don’t do anything bad to her right?” Kikwang asked, holding Yoseob arm sturdily.

Yoseob turned back to Kikwang. “We will settle this after we send her to the hall, okay? She was burning up and she needs treatments as soon as possible,” Yoseob said with a stern expression, a bit irritated with Kikwang sudden fiery act.

*******

“What is it that you want to talk about?” Kikwang asked, ready with his fist.

“Listen, it’s true that I found her when she was still in conscious, but I didn’t do...”

“Why you didn’t report through the walkie-talkie?” Kikwang asked before Yoseob could finish his sentence.

“She was still sobbing and I thought...”

“You thought. ‘Oh, I could take advantage of this situation.’ Is that it?” Kikwang was boiled up.

“Are you jealous?” Yoseob was puzzled, couldn’t explain the reason of Kikwang sudden anger.  

Kikwang smirked, spoofing Yoseob question. “Do you think I will be jealous that you could her? You are totally wrong!” Kikwang ended his sentence with a strong punch on Yoseob’s left cheek.

Yoseb fell on the ground immediately after the punch. This is too much.  Yoseob thought. That punch from Kikwang truly made he heated up. He clenched his teeth, showing his anger. Without a word, Yoseob replied the punch with his fist on Kikwang left side jaw.

Kikwang fell, looking at Yoseob fiercely.

“ her?” Yoseob smirked, looking away from Kikwang before he looked at him intensely. “I never thought that you never trust me,” Yoseob suddenly sounded disappointed.

Kikwang tried to stand up. That punch from Yoseob had hurt him but he still could make another attack if he wanted to. He was just a bit shocked when Yoseob said the word ‘trust’. He tried to correct his jaw that became a bit disorder.

“I was just letting her cry as much as she wanted. I never thought she would collapse, maybe because of over crying,” Yoseob sighed. It was his fault at first since he didn’t report that he had found her. Yoseob sighed again and walked away from Kikwang.

“Yoseob,” Kikwang called out the name softly. The guilty feeling started to fill his chest. Yoseob was right. It was his fault that he didn’t trust him. Yoseob must be hurt, not physically but emotionally.

Kikwang quickly chased Yoseob. He tapped his shoulder. “I’m sorry,”

Yoseob turned to Kikwang and smiled. “I’m the one that should be sorry,”

Kikwang smiled. The both touched each other fists, shook hands and pulled themselves to each other before the both hugged, a brotherly hug. Then, they released each other. Kikwang placed his arm on Yoseob shoulder.

Yoseob laughed and said between his laughter. “I never thought we will fight over a girl,”

Kikwang replied the laugh with his laugh. But his mind was thinking about Yoseob question back then.  Are you jealous?  Was he jealous? He smiled to himself. How could he be jealous when he barely knew that girl?

Yoseob suddenly stopped his steps. Kikwang was confused at looked at Yoseob and he noticed that Yoseob was looking at the entrance of the hall. Gina was standing there with her both hands on her waist. Her expression was unclear but Kikwang could sense that Gina was truly mad.

Doojoon was standing right behind Gina. Sorry guys, can’t help you this time. Doojoon mind spoke.

They were dead, dead for sure.
