Save Me

Haknyeon was watching from the shore of the beach, observing the antics of Eric and the others in the shoreline as they eagerly played in the water. Haknyeon himself was desperate to join them, to participate in the fun and enjoy. However, the secret prevented him from doing so.

Haknyeon let out a soft sigh as he observed the others from a distance. As he stared blankly out at the seas, Sunwoo came over and sat beside him.

"Don't you want to play the water?" asked Haknyeon.

"Nah, I don't like playing with sea water. It sandy and taste bad" said Sunwoo.

Haknyeon chuckle.

"I heard from Eric that you had a new friend" said Haknyeon.

"He's not my friend... yet" said Sunwoo.

"How was he?" asked Haknyeon.

"He's... fine. He kind a weird and has a bad taste in anything" said Sunwoo.

"But?"

"He's good. I... started to like him" said Sunwoo with a bit red on his cheeks.

Haknyeon patted on Sunwoo's head.

"Stop patted my head" said Sunwoo.

"I like to do this" said Haknyeon.

"... How about you?" asked Sunwoo as he look at Haknyeon's legs.

Sunwoo still held the deep remorse and guilt that he felt about the incident that had left Haknyeon paralyzed. He felt like it was his fault, like he had been the person who brought about the circumstances that had ultimately hurt his friend so deeply. It was a burden that he bore within his heart, but he tried not to let it cloud the current moment.

"I'm fine, Sunwoo. It's already two months now. Stop feeling guilty for me" said Haknyeon.

"But still... I couldn't do anything when Kim Yura done that to you. That time, I was still afraid of her, and I thought that she wouldn't do anything to you. But I was wrong.."

"It's fine. It's all in the past now" said Haknyeon.

"Hey, guys! I got the key! Let's get inside" said Sangyeon while show the key on his hand.

"I'll go wake Hyunjae hyung" said Juyeon and went to the car to wake Hyunjae up, so he can continue resting in the house.

As the others were still playing and having fun in the beach, Juyeon had left to get Hyunjae from the car. He had expected to find his brother asleep, but he was instead met with a gruesome sight. Juyeon was left with a look in horror on his face, as something extremely disturbing had just taken place in their car.

Juyeon had expected to locate Hyunjae in the car, asleep as they had left him. However, when he had reached the car, it was surprisingly empty, the door was left open, and Hyunjae's belongings were still there.

Juyeon was overwhelmed with fear and panics as he returned to the beach to inform the others of the unsettling discovery. He quickly rushed over to the beach, where the others had been playing and enjoying themselves.

His sudden and unexpected arrival was a cause for concern. Juyeon's terrified expression was enough to set off the alarm in the others, prompting them all stop what they were doing and turn their attention to him.

"Hyunjae hyung is gone!"

Hyunjae had woken up and opened his eyes, only to find himself feeling both a great deal of dizziness and fatigue both at the same time. His dizziness and seemingly come out of nowhere and was probably a result of the sudden change in his body, as his fatigue was still going strong.
