Chapter 7
Paradise
“Stop crying. This is not helping at all.” Baekhyun told her sternly for she did not really do anything but cry. Her eyes were all read and puffy but even the grumpy Baekhyun can’t stop her.
The sun was already starting to set and yet Hyemin had not moved in her place. While Baekhyun was trying to set up fire, gather food, and make a shelter for emergency, all Hyemin did was sob. He understands how she feels at that moment but that didn’t mean he would do the same thing. He wanted to survive and he was still hoping that they’d be rescued…someday.
“Go eat your dinner! I told you there’s no point in crying!” Baekhyun suddenly vented out. He was exhausted. He should be a little happy that he has Hyemin on his own but seeing her crying just doubled the pain.
“Do you expect me to be happy when we’re in this situation? We’re trapped in the middle of nowhere!”
