Would it be possible to push through all this fear and terror?

“Okay, so I think we can go to Seoul Forest. It should be open by now.”

A forest? I have never been to a forest in my life.

Felix looked a my face which was contorted into a surprised one.

“You've never been to a forest, have you?”

I shook my head. He laughed. “It'll be nice, trust me.”

“Alright, I trust you.”

Felix kept glancing down at his phone the whole time, looking at the directions. “Let's get a bus.”

I agreed.

We hopped off of the bus and waked a bit. I gaped at the sight. “And here we have Seoul Forest!”

“Wow.”

It was just so beautiful.

Felix smiled brightly. “You like it?” He asked.

I nodded. “Definitely.”

Suddenly, a loud ringtone interrupted us.

“I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road--”

I raised my eyebrows like he did to me. “New ringtone?”

Felix laughed. “Shut up.”

He looked at the caller ID and his face fell. “I'll be back, Syd. Don't go far.”

I nodded at his words and eventually began to wander off into the forest, but not too far as he said. I took my phone out and began snapping photos of the scenery.

I hummed while I looked around before my phone started ringing.

“Thats my bestfriend and it'll never be the same--”

A special ringtone I had for Hyunjin. Best friend by Mar Monroe

“Hey.”

“Sydney, you need to come home now.”

“What’s going on?”

“I have something to tell you. Something that...is gonna hurt you bad.”

“Wh-What?”

“J-Jut get here, okay? It's really important.”

“O-Okay.”

Felix came back after I ended the call. “You ready to go?”

“Can we go home?”

He frowned at my question. “Are you not enjoying this?”

“What? Of course, I am. It's just...I got a call from Hyunjin he wants us home now. Something's going on.”

Felix sighed. “Fine, okay.”

I grabbed his hand and we walked back.

“We’re back!” I yelled, seeing Hyunjin on the couch. He stood up immediately and grabbed my hand, pulling me toward him and away from Felix.

“What the--”

“What are you doing?”

Hyunjin glared at Felix.

“Shut the hell up, Felix. You know what's going on.”

Felix opened his mouth to say something but got cut off by Changbin and Minho walking in.
