"None.." I muttered after checking an empty bird's nest. I was hoping to find some eggs but found nothing but feathers. I took a deep breath and sighed
Feeling dejected, I continued to walk aimlessly in the forest. I kept walking and walking into the depth of the woods until I heard a familiar chirp.
I looked up and saw a small bird, an edible one sitting on a tree branch, just a few metres above me.
"Finally.." I said and smiled to myself as I found my target.
Pushing my glasses up, I took an arrow from my back pack and place it onto my bow. Focusing on the target that's oblivious to what's going to happen next, I counted silently to three.
"1.. 2.. 3" I released the bow and it hit him perfectly. After I shot him, he landed on the ground with a big thud.
I mentally cheered and ran to it.
"Thank god" I sighed in relief and picked the bird off the ground. I pulled the arrow from its body and nodded
"Thanks to you, we'll finally have a proper dinner tonight"
I put it into a bag and brush off the dirt on my pants. Suddenly, I heard silent footsteps behind me. I pretended to not notice and continue to dust of the dirt
Not long after that, the footsteps seem to stop and I could feel a person's presence standing behind me. Rolling my eyes, I turned around to see a man with his hands up, it looks like he was trying to scare me, as expected.
"Stop trying to scare me hyun.." I said quietly and brush past him. Sehyun chuckled as he ran beside me
"Not bad for a four-eyed" I rolled my eyes and elbowed his stomach
"Ouch!" He grunted and then laughed
"Stop being so serious Sehun, loosen up a bit. You're acting like you're the oldest in our family" He said as he pats my back.
"Maybe you should stop being so childish. You're the oldest and you're making me do the hardest job.." I grumbled and he nervously chuckled
"You know that I'm bad in targeting things, I . My skills are limited to climbing trees to harvest fruits"
I silently agreed and snorted. I remember when he tried shooting a bird but instead, he almost shot one of the villagers who was just passing by. Lucky for him, that man dodged it and he swore he'll never touch that weapon again.
I asked him, "Did you find any cherries today?"
Sehyun nodded, "A bunch of them. We could sell them and take a few home. The triplets had been craving for it for weeks and they won't stop bugging me about it"
I chuckled but then stopped walking when I remembered something. I mentally cursed when I noticed that we already passed the path to our destination.
"We forgot to stop by the river, Sejun said he needs help in carrying the fishes earlier"
"Oh right"
After making a U-turn, we arrived at the river and saw a shirtless man on the other side of the river
"Sejun-ah!" Sehyun shouted to catch the attention of the male who was busy counting the fishes he caught. Sejun looked up and nodded while calling us to help him carry the fishes to the market
We crossed the shallow river easily and went beside him
"38 fishes altogether. Should be enough to earn money right?" He asked us as he wiped his sweat away
Sehyun nodded hesitantly and added, "I also found a bunch of fruits in the forest that we could sell and take home for dinner"
"We should take 3 of the fishes you caught for dinner because unfortunately, I only caught this small fellow right here" I said as I showed them the bird
"Obviously, its not enough to feed all of us"
"Okay.." Sejun said and started walking towards the forest with a bag full of fishes.
"Then let's get going, we need to sell these b
