jung chaewon glanced behind her, faint concern for her leader making its appearance in her gaze. moon aeri was sweating too much, her hands clutching her blazer— in particular, the part where her heart lies. ❝aeri—❞ the moon snapped her eyes opened, breathing heavily.
❝w–what..?❞ chaewon frowned, the girl's voice was unusually raspy and deep. her senses were dull as well. ❝hey, you should have really just stayed behind in the hideout. your illness may worsen—❞ the jung was cut off by a laugh, a raspy and rough laughter.
the moon child forced an amused smile and let her arms fall to her sides, staring at the sadist and averted her eyes to kang hyeon who was rummaging through the things of the science lab but was still listening. ❝i'll be fine, don't worry.❞
aeri pushed herself off the wall and went back to work, checking the papers and everything. ❝why did he have to betray us, fuck..❞ chaewon grumbled, reading through files that lee byeongchan had made. hyeon snorted at her grumbling and spoke mockingly. ❝who to blame for that? it's kim, no doubt.❞
❝of course, it's him. he's such a pain in the ass, ordering us around..❞
the moon merely listened to the duo as she kneeled down to stare at the blood that the zombiefied hamster had left after being squashed by a careless jung, smirking to herself. even hyeon? she mentally questioned, chuckling silently. moon aeri grabbed a certain paper and stood up.
❝i got it.❞
she said, casually slipping the file into the bag hyeon was holding. the moon child walked closer to the door and placed her hand in the knob. ❝if my plans goes along, daeun and her friends are in the process of making a plan with my classmates so we can't use the rooftop as a get away.❞
hyeon and chaewon tagged along, the jung hiding a few stolen formulas that would help their research. ❝let's go to the mountains and—❞ aeri was caught off guard as she doubled over, coughing, her left hand coming up to her lips— blood dripping from her mouth until it reached her chin.
alerted, the duo rushed towards their young leader who put her right hand up, stopping them from moving further. ❝hey, let's rest here for now. we can go if that illness of yours has no sign of showing.
it's getting worser than we expected, we can't even go back to the headquarter's lab because of the tension between you and him.❞ aeri only playfully rolled her eyes.
❝you're concerned for nothing, hye.❞
❝what do you mean, nothing—!?❞
❝all right, fine. we'll stay here, but not in this room. the smell of the corpse still lingers here.❞
chaewon grimaced at the smell she didn't noticed earlier, agreeing with the moon's plan by nodding. ❝then, shall we go to the art club's room? i bet there's no one in there.❞ aeri smiled, wiping the blood in her chin with dull eyes.
