kangmin and gyehyeon were walking to their destination and navigating their way through the dimly lit way,surprisingly kangmin was more courageous than gyehyeon,who didn't want to be there in the first place and was looking left and right while hesitating in every step,hoping that he won't face another nightmarish thing while getting what they need

"Hyung can you move faster"he yelled at him as he walked past him so he can move in a faster pace "you told me to stay behind you but we really can't afford to be slow and careful at the moment"

"If we're not careful we might follow dongheon's footsteps and be the ones who need saving"gyehyeon replied in whispering voice and moved faster as he made kangmin close to him again by pulling kangmin back by the collar "also stay quiet and close to me while we're here,you don't know what might come to us while we're here"

"Sounds like you're the one who needs protection not me,Don't worry hyung I'm brave and strong enough to do so"if it wasn't for a light falling down behind them,making kangmin jump and cling to gyehyeon's back, gyehyeon could've probably taken him seriously

"Brave huh?"he asked sarcastically and held the weapon tighter as he heard a faint sound of splattering and scratching,accompanied with a familiar wheezes,following the source of the sound they found a rabid struggling to escape from under the debris,so gyehyeon stepped on its back,greeted it with a smile and cracked its head open with a single blow

"That's why I didn't want to come here,let's go"gyehyeon said in a more courage attitude than he was when they entered the basement,that is until the reached the broken shutters and he stood up in front of it silent with the only sound heard being the rain before kangmin speaking again to ask

"Why you suddenly stopped? We're supposed to go down there aren't we?"

"Y-yeah,but...."he paused for a moment and started to point his flashlight around "I don't want to take more risks okay? We got attacked down there by something,you know...the thing that bit dongheon on the shoulder"

"Oh,so what should we do?"

"Probably go up to get the others to help"

"Too much time,I'll go and you gaurd the door"he said as he tried to slide under the shutters before gyehyeon grabbed him firmly and pulled him far from it

"Is your brain malfunctioning or what?"he scolded as he shook kangmin's shoulders "it's not the time to be careless or suicidal"

"I'm not being suicidal, I'm just going to go and search for the antidote"he protested as he tried to remove gyehyeon's hands but they won't budge or loosen up

"what do you mean by it's not suicidal, you're might be walking to your death right now and you don't know"

"Don't worry I'll be fine"

"It's not a guarantee,we already have enough injured people to deal with"

"Was there any other rabids down?"

"No,it followed us from outside"

"Then I'm going to be fine hyung, don't worry about it"he assured him finally being able to get gyehyeon's hands away "we also don't have time,you stay here to guard and I'll go look for it"

"Kangmin listen to me"he said as he made him look at him in a last desperate try to change his mind "you're still a kid, it's too dangerous and there's no guarantee, let's go back before something bad happens"

"But what about-"

"Yesterday wasn't that long ago,we have no proof that he's good"gyehyeon just kept using excuses,he was determined to not make kangmin go down there and didn't care what would he think of him,a coward or cruel or a hypocrite,but it's not like he really wanted to save dongheon in the first place,he only felt guilty about it because he saved yongseung
