4:15am
forest, train tunnel

"the people were kind, except for their soldiers. god, their soldiers are assholes." rei was peacefully conversing with jiwon,

"my feet are DYING!"

yena quickly fastened her pace to catch up with yujin and hyunseo who's talking at the front, "hey, where exactly are we going..?"

for about three hours of walking in the woods, they were led to this abandoned tunnel. 

how is it possible you may ask? well they found this train-track that leads to god knows nowhere.

so they decided to follow it.

you know, teenager instincts. plus, they have nowhere else to go anyway.

they were following the end of the tunnel for quite a while now, but the end is still very far away. 

it was dark, so they stood close to each other.

yujin slowed down a bit so that yena can catch up because they're communicating with each other. "we'll see once we exit this tunnel. for now, let's just all go straight,"
hyunseo was then left at the front.

the sophomore looked back and saw all of them walking in pairs. except for wonyoung, but she looks like she doesn't want to be bothered at the moment so hyunseo just let them be.

but something white just flashed into the girl's eyes,

hyunseo repeatedly blinked. then suddenly, she saw a white butterfly sitting on her nose. she giggled then tried tapping the butterfly, but it flew away, resulting her to tap her nose in the process.

she wanted to chase that butterfly,

so she did.

no one noticed that hyunseo followed the butterfly since they were too busy talking to each other.

it took yujin for a while to notice that hyunseo already had traveled far.

hyunseo's shadow was only visible to them and they saw that her movements were.. odd.

until they saw another crawling shadow on the ground,

she panicked then snapped out of her and yena's conversation so she can warn the latter, "hyunseo-yah!"

hyunseo didn't budge and was busy trying to let the butterfly land on her palms,

"hyunseo-yah!" wonyoung snapped out of her thoughts and instinctively started running towards hyunseo after hearing yujin's concerned yelling,

"hyunseo-yah, flesh-eater, behind you!" 

hyunseo snapped from her daze before turning around,

then she felt getting her foot dragged by a half-bodied flesh-eater on the ground,

growl

the sophomore then felt this sharp pain on her leg,

"aw! no no no!- yujin unnie-" she tried resisting but the pain overcame her strength, making it hard for her to move away.

the girl hissed and tried to kick the flesh-eater using her other leg, but the flesh-eater bit harder making her whimper in pain.

"h-help please.. it hurts-"

"PIECE OF SHIT!" the pressure on hyunseo's leg suddenly vanished after yujin kicked the flesh-eater away, crushing its skull by stepping on the head.

hyunseo started gasping for air as she felt herself getting dizzy, blinking her eyes slowly,

wonyoung quickly arrived at the scene and checked on hyunseo who was panting "hey.. hyunseo-yah" the older's voice quivered,

"no, no- stay with us, leeseo-yah.." she then suddenly heard minjoo's voice.

hyunseo didn't know what was happening,

she was confused.

"what's happening..?" she asked as she felt something soft wrapping around the swelling part, slowly dozing off.

"you'll be okay leeseo-yah.." she heard yena's voice before feeling herself getting carried,

and then she blacked out.
