"Wait Jessica! Where do you think you are going?", I shouted after her, but to no avail. She was already on her own and was gradually disappearing from my sight.

Hmm... Probably she can handle it on her own? I thought.

Shortly after her departure, the rest came back from their respective activities.

"Alright guys, we have selected the route we will be using today. But before we head up, let's check our backpack again to see if we have our essentials all ready for today's session", Mark instructed as soon as he walked over to us.

"And you, when is Yugyeom arriving?", he then snapped his fingers at me while I was busy double checking the items in my bag.

"Soon I guess...", I answered without looking up and it was then I felt something unusual in my bag.

"What is this?", I brought it out and held it up in the air.

"O, you have asthma too Wendy?", Grace asked as she pointed at the object in my hand.

On a closer look, I realized that it was an inhaler.

"No, I don't", I replied, staring blankly at it.

Noticing that something was amiss, Mark snatched it away from my hand and his eyebrow furrowed after he took a quick look at it.

"What are you doing with Jessica's inhaler?", he asked in a serious tone.

"And where the hell is Jessica anyway?", he turned around and only now then he realized that she was missing.

"Jessica's?", I scratched the back of my head as I was really still not into the situation.

"She went up on herself earlier on."

"WHAT?!", Tammy suddenly screamed when she heard me.

"AND WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HER?", Mark looked really angry with me now.

"I-"

"WENDY LOH. YOU ARE REALLY GETTING IT OUT OF HAND", Mark took a deep breath and bellowed.

"Mark loo-"

"Let me guess. You hid her inhaler and allowed her to roam around on her own? You are making use of this chance to get back at her because you thought that she framed you, aren't you?"

"No, I just-"

"STOP IT. DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS CAN COST A LIVE?", he was shouting at me now,

"Jessica have been having a really bad asthma condition ever since young and she needs to be closely monitored whenever she carries out strenuous activities... Do you know that this little scheme of yours went a little overboard? Are you willing to bear the consequences?"

I lowered my head slightly and wiped away some tears which were already forming. Then, I looked back up at him.

"Mark, look, I didn't kn-"

"You are going to deny it again aren't you? You never realize tha-"

"MARK TUAN! WILL YOU STOP CUTTING IN TO MY WORDS? I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE! I DIDN'T!", I could no longer contain my grievance and I was now the one who was yelling back at him.

I didn't even know that I was so angry until Mark did it again.

The bark of my voice even surprised him.

"WHEN DID YOU EVER BELIEVE ME? NEVER! NEVER ONCE!"

Mark looked at me through his wide red-rimmed eyes, his mouth slightly opened and a glisten of snot above his cracked lips.
