"who are you?" Jongin stared at the strangers with his cold and sleepy eyes. it's whether because that's how his eyes looked or he hadn't really woke up yet. soojung frowned. why did jongin ask about them? they're tribe for the god's sake! or not? soojung blinked when she realized those people wore a complete and modern clothes. they didn't seem like a tribe or something. but it didn't make her stop stretching her hands protectively in front of taemin, making her body and jongin's as shields for the inconscious taemin. "You can speak normal language!" one of the stranger, with husky voice like jongin finally spoke, much to soojung surprised because it had been a while since the last time she heard other people spoke the same language as three of them. "Don't come closer!" jongin threatened them with the long stick he had. there were two of them but soojung could only see one of them since another one's face was almost fully covered by mask except his eyes. "chill, boy. we're not going to harm you and your friends." he said with surprisingly soothing voice, raising both of his hands for proving that they're harmless. "we're in the same position. the same trouble." the other one finally spoke, with slightly high voice like a girl but he's actually not. beside his girly and weird clothes, he's a man. "how did you find this place?" soojung asked out of curiousity. this place was hidden and not so easy to be found. "we followed you." the man with high voice answered, with a calm tone. he stepped ahead and put off his mask, showing his flawless face and forcing a foxy smile because he didn't feel like smiling at all. "Me?" soojung pointed at herself. jongin turned to her, looking confused because of their conversation. "Yeah you." the blonde boy with high voice rolled his eyes. "You went to the river a while ago and we saw you there. we're surprised to know that we're not the only one who trapped in this ing forest--" "Language, kibum." the boy with deep voice cut his words. "Sorry about that. this friend doesn't know how to filter his words." "That's okay." soojung nodded. she lived in california quite a while so things like that was really common for her. "You did what??" jongin turned to soojung, looking unamused when he proceed their words in his mind. he glared at her and looked like he would be burst in anger in no time. Uh-oh. soojung thought. "uhm..we're running out of food and water so.." Soojung bit her lips, avoiding jongin's gaze. "jung soojung, what do you think you're doing???" he yelled at her, making soojung flinched a bit because it's rare to see jongin like this. "but nothing happened!" soojung defended herself. "And what IF something DID happen?!" he cried. "okay kiddos, we're here. don't forget." the blonde boy said. he approached them and crossed his arms. "Kibum, don't scold them." Another boy said. "just leave it to me, mino." he rolled his eyes, acting like a diva. both of soojung and jongin just stared at those boys confused. they looked each other before loosening their defence and thinking that maybe, these strangers weren't bad. "kiddos.." the blonde boy started. "In this situation, there is nothing you can do except stick together and stop fighting." He turned to soojung, looking at her calmly. he lowered his voice like talking to little girl. "And you, i appreciated your courage and intention to help your boyfriend." "He isn't my boyfriend." soojung cut his words immediate
