━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The clock hands struck midnight. The hooting of owls dispersed all around over the dancing grass blades. The clouds floated past the shiny moon. A feeling of spookiness enlarged in the aura.

The mushy sound of the squishing of shoe outsoles cringed the air. The darkness was too much for a transparent close up at the shifting personal.

The figure appeared pretty masculine with features that almost choked out of his shirt sleeves. His biceps and triceps had their own heavy volumes. The tip of his shoes paused on touching a white curtain.

A pair of fingers unzipped the pale material and peeped inside to find three lumps under sheets. He trailed the zip till halfway down and slid in his chest and head for a clear view.

He darted his eyes to fight against the low light vision.

"Mirae? And...Yerin? What are these two doing in here?"

He processed in his brain for some clues but ended up with another plan. His fingers yet again hushed his thumb frictional noise before zipping the tent back.

The air grew colder. It rushed while cutting through evenly creating a hoarse clamour.

"Mirae-ssi... Wake up. I've been waiting for you!" a deep quirky voice echoed in the ears of the girl who was taking a nap right beside the tupik's only entrance and exit. She writhed to her side as uneasiness charged over her whole body.

"Mirae-ssi..." The same notes reached her ears and she flipped open her eyelids. No sooner did she unclasp them than she was on the verge to faint. Her sockets widened at what she saw. She mumbled to herself, "Is this nightmare? Why does it sound so real?" A little pinch brought her all back to reality.

A huge shadow like thingie of some sort of a monster was trailing outside their tent. She dropped her jaw, her lips trembled to produce a word. Sweat bloomed out on her crown as she become numb in horror.

She shook the person next to her who was by then snoring deeply. Another vigorous wave strangled her sheets for which she muttered, "Mmm..." in the sleepy state.

Mirae managed to gain some courage to whisper to her friend, "Yerin! Get your sleepy ass awakened right away!" She kicked her really hard at the thighs to which the other responded back, "Ouch! What the hell is wrong with you, you immatured brat!"

The reflection in the watery orbs of Mirae sent some cautions in the mind of Yerin. She immediately said, "What-what's wrong? What made you cry in the middle of the night?"

"Something's going on outside," she almost choked out spilling those words.

"Huh? What?"

"Yerin-ssi, I've come to take you along with me. Won't you come to me?"
