Chapter XVIII

"To see him? See what...? Oh, you're talking about the game, it's not..." The girl didn't know what to say, because actually, she knew the way she was looking at him, but at that moment, she hadn't really done it with that intention, but Suho's eyes had a strange sparkle that made her think too much.

But they no longer caused the same thing as before.

"You said you'd give me a chance, and I want to take it but... Every time you see Suho like that, I..." The boy looked down, remembering how bright their eyes looked while they looked at each other's and he wasn't going to deny that he didn't like it, he felt annoyed, a lot.

The girl was going to speak to interrupt him, however, a cry of joy was heard behind her, making them jump a little, separate so that they could see Chorong and the others approach them with joy, their arms open to be able to return them in a hug.

When the arms of the entire group almost threw Seojun to the ground so that they could hug Aera, the girl laughed, jumping along to them, who were celebrating that she was not dead.

When the group finally calmed down a bit, they began to walk, this time, leaving Seojun behind as they carried the girl tightly clinging to them, Aera wanted to laugh as she listened to Chorong narrate every step they took, as if it were some kind of suspense video.

Arriving at a small abandoned well that was in the place, they heard a noise, stopping for a second, Eunsuk, who was the closest to the girl, took the hand of the shorter one to make sure not to lose her while they walked together with the others, when they were a few centimeters from the large opening of the well, a figure in white clothing, it face stained with something, which Aera did not recognize because, to be honest, she was frightened.

Giving a loud scream, like all the boys, she only thought about turning around and running out of the place, still with the boy's hand in hers, the group continued running through the forest, leaving terrified towards the tents that were in a clearing surrounded by the forest, when Chorong stumbled, the others did so, Aera included, remaining on top of all the boys who kept screaming about a ghost.

Aera raised her head, breathing quickly and heavily, looking at her side, she looked for that dark jacket so familiar to her, not seeing it among the bunch of boys below her, she got up.

"Seojun?" The girl called, seeing how everyone stood up but couldn't see the curious boy anywhere, cursing when she remembered Chorong's words: "Seojun is scared of ghosts." She ran into the woods again, listening to the calls of boys, she didn't stop. "Han Seojun!"

When the girl arrived back at the well where they had been seconds ago, her heart raced when she saw Seojun lying in the place, eyes closed and with his body in the shape of a starfish, as if he was fainting. Kneeling next to him when she reached him, she touched his face, even though it was somewhat dark due to the trees blocking the light in the place, she could see how pale he looked.

Cursing, Aera reached for her cell phone in her pockets, not feeling it anywhere, he looked at Seojun's body, carefully touching his thighs to see if he was carrying his with him in his pants, she was unsuccessful, it didn't even look like she was going to find it.

Getting up to see if it had not fallen somewhere nearby, hers or that of the boy, who never walked without his cell phone nearby, she managed to see a white object with a small sun in the middle, smiling with excitement, she walked carefully, due to the little lake that was a few meters away, towards it, recognizing her cell phone immediately. "I should have thrown it when I ran." She said, straightening her posture once she had it in her hands.

When she turned around, the girl saw a tall figure standing in front of her, without giving her time to see its face due to the fright and scream she let out, she tripped over her feet, her body swayed backwards until the cold water touched the fabric of her clothes, her hair and face, soaking her completely.
