ㅡ Chaerin's POV ㅡ

As expected, I wake up at dawn with a fantastic stiff neck and back pain.

I touch the back of my neck trying to massage the aching muscles, but my moans of pain wake Jimin, who is in the same situation as me. He massages his neck and then jerks his head and cracks his neck bones. Yuck.

《Your car is very uncomfortable.》

《My little girl is not uncomfortable.》

《Tell it to my back.》

《You're the only girl who complained.》 He replies with a mischievous smile.

I get out of the car ignoring him, I hear him complain because I didn't react to his two-way joke.

The sun is about to rise completely, the view is gorgeous. The black that used to paint the woods is now tinged with warm orange, warm as the ray that is heating my cheek now. I enjoy the warmth that the morning sun gives off, closing my eyes and breathing deeply. I feel good. I forget even about the strange situation we are in.

Birds chirp in the woods, ready for another day and a calm breeze stirs the leaves of the trees.

I am leaning on the hood of the car, hands behind to hold me. Jimin joins me.

《There is peace.》

I make a moan of consent.

I open my eyes and immediately feel embarrassed.

《Wh-what?》

I ask when I notice Jimin's look on me.

《Nothing ... it's just that the sunlight suits you...》

I frown. 《Thank you?》 I'm confused. Should this be a compliment?

I was about to say something but at a certain point, I freeze and squint at a distant point of the road.

《Is that a car?》

I ask incredulously.

Jimin looks in the direction I'm looking at. The car is getting closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

It's a pickup truck!

I start squeaking and jumping for happiness hitting Jimin's shoulder.

《We are safe!》

《We weren't in danger!》 He protests.

《But not safe either!》 I say with a big smile as I pull my thumb out to hitchhike, hoping that whoever is driving will stop.

As it approaches I hear a strange melody coming from the truck, a crucifix dangles in front of the windshield. The van stops in front of us, the windows are darkened.

My smile disappears as soon as the window rolls down.

It's is a nun.

Instinctively, I jump backwards and grab Jimin's arm, which holds a muffled laugh.

The head of a smiling nun comes out of the window.

《Children, do you need a hand?》

We are doomed, our souls have no escape.

I was about to politely refuse the proposal but Jimin silences me by interrupting me. I widen my eyes.

《Yes please!》

Damn Jimin, fucking Jimin.
I can't believe he accepted, he knows I was afraid of the nuns' legends and now we're in a fucking truck with nuns looking at us with weird expressions. Are they thinking of sacrificing us?
