The shivering little girl continued to wait while hugging her petite knees when the sky started to darken, and a thunderous sound resonated the whole place which causes minju to yelp then cower in fear.

“M-minju…Kim Minju, it’s okay… don’t be afraid it’s just a thunder you’re a big girl now and Mommy Seulgi just lost her way to you but she’s looking for you now… Minju Stay calm and take a deep breath.” Minju keeps talking and convincing herself to ease her worries when a thunder strikes again, and a heavy rain started to drop. Minju started to run and search for a temporary shelter, the girl is already soaking wet when she found a small cave. She immediately tucked herself in the small cave and closed her eyes to take a nap.

Joy called Seungwan and ask her to accompany her to somewhere. Joy is currently driving when Seungwan’s eyes got bigger after hearing Joy.

“WHAT?! Seulbear did what?!!!”

“Wannie she tried to abandon Minju in the woods!”

“Wait wait wait… what happenened now? I mean, what’s the situation there now? H-how’s the kid?” Seungwan asked frantically.

“Wannie how am I supposed to answer you if you keep on asking more questions? Can you please calm down.”

“Joy how am I suppose to calm down after knowing what Seulgi did, and you said Joohyun unnie still doesn’t know a thing of what’s happening to her kid rightnow! Now tell me how to calm down Joy cause by just imagining the situation when Joohyun unnie finds out about this terrifies me. Minju is her life her everything and if unnie where to know about this I’m sure Seulgi… Our friend will face unnie’s wrath.”

“Yeah…yeah I know that’s why I called you to ask for more help, Seulgi is currently looking for Minju rightnow.”

“She better be because this is all her fault we already told her not do anything that she will regret later.” Seungwan sigh in frustration.

Joy’s 3 hours of driving comes to an end when they arrived at the said mountain, they saw someone coming out from the woods.

“Yah! Kang Seulgi!” Seungwan shouted.

“S-seungwan…” Seulgi said while crying. Seungwan runs towards Seulgi even though it’s raining hard and when they are face to face the latter raise her hand and slap Seulgi hard. Seulgi holds her cheek and begins to cry louder.

“I’m…. I’m s-sorry… *sobbing* I..I.. I didn’t mean to… to do that wannie…” Seulgi said stuttering while crying. Seungwan hugs the now soaked Seulgi and said

“I’m sorry Seul, my emotions got me. Shhh… don’t cry now…” Seungwan patted the latter’s back.

“I know Seul. I know you didn’t mean to do that, I know how much you love that kid.”

“You two that’s not the time to do that, it’s already nine in the evening it’s getting late. Minju is missing for almost four hours now we need to search faster let’s scatter and find Minju.”

The three of them used to hike back then, so they decided to take different paths to make the search faster. The three of them continues to shout and call Minju’s name.

____________

Minju is awakened by a long howl of unknown animal.

“Minju-ah… wait for a little bit more I know mommy Seulgi is coming.” The kid continues to convince herself.

The howling didn’t stop and it continues to get louder which means it’s getting nearer and nearer to Minju, So she decided to get up on her knees but before she stabilize herself her head starts to ache and she feels dizzy, she eventually fell down on her knees and started to bleed. Minju started crying as she hears a running sound and a long howl. She tried her best to get up again but failed and so she cries harder, her vision starts to become blurry as she slowly lost her consciousness.

“Minju! Baby girl! Kim Minju where are you?” Seulgi called with desperation. The three of them meets at the middle of the woods when they heard a long howl of an animal and a thud sound near from their right, they decided to go right where they heard the thud.

“Oh my God!” Seungwan shouted and Seulgi runs like a thunder bolt.

“Baby! Minju-ah! W-what happened to you?” Seulgi looked all over minju and she saw her knees bleeding so she wrapped it in a clean hankerchief.

“Minju… baby please wake up..” Seulgi said while crying. Seungwan puts her hand on the kid’s forehead.

“Seul can you carry her? She’s burning up with fever we need to take her to the nearest hospital.” Seulgi nods and carries Minju on her back and they started to go down the woods.

Seulgi is running worriedly to the emergency room.

“Doctor please check her!”

“What happened to her?” the doctor asked them.

“Hello I’m Son Seungwan a Doctor of Hanshin hospital in Seoul, well my niece here got lost in the woods and when we found her she is unconscious and burning up with fever, you just need to check her and get her tested if she acquire other injuries or internal bleeding.” Seungwan said in a faster but clear manner just like a doctor.

“Okay thank you Doctor Son, we will test her up right now just wait here for a moment and fill up the form.”

Seulgi fills up the form and the three of them waited for Minju when suddenly Joy’s phone rings but she goes out before answering it.

“Hello Unnie, I already found Seulgi and Minju sorry for not calling you earlier I just got distracted by the beautiful sceneries here.”

“Thank God you found them, I thought something happened to the both of them cause I can’t contact them.” Joohyun sigh in relief on the other line.

“The reception here is not good that’s why you can’t contact Seulgi.”

“Joy where are you? Can I speak with my baby girl and Seulgi.”

“I’m at Seulgi’s villa in the province right now, Minju and Seulgi are already sleeping unnie. They hike
