Thin Ice- SunSun

[Chapter 6]

Wandering around the vacant university campus, the groups sight was impaired due to the surrounding darkness. The dim lighting from the outdated lamp posts didn't help one bit, but it did set a rather eerie tone as the boys continued onwards. The group had naturally split into two, with Heeseung and Sunoo leading them from the front. 

Feeling slightly on edge, Sunoo, who had never been able to sleep one night without a night light, made sure he stuck close to the confident boy walking beside him. 

Speaking softly, Sunoo gently tugged on Heeseung's jumper. "How much longer? you still haven't told us where we're going."

"Relax a little, we're nearly there." Heeseung brushed off his friends worries.

The campus was somewhere Sunoo had never been before, this, mixed with his fear of the dark, left him feeling pretty anxious. To distract himself, he tried to focus on anything he could see around him, and though it was difficult at first, the building shapes were easy enough to distinguish. They were obviously tall, but not as tall as the ones he saw in the city, and they seemed relatively modern, which makes sense because the university had only been refurbished a few years ago.

Heeseung felt relieved seeing Sunoo calm down a little, no longer stuck to his side and actually appearing as his usual cheerful self. This all seemed great, for a second...

"YAH-" Quickly grasping onto Heeseung's arm for dear life, Sunoo squeals, pushing his head into Heeseung's jumper in a pathetic attempt to hide. "Please save me, i'm too young to die." He whines. 

"Oh C'mon Sunoo!" Like a claw machine, Heeseung uses his free arm to latch onto Sunoo's head, redirecting his attention to the floor. He lifts up his boot to reveal the pile of leaves that he had just stepped on, which created the noise that spooked Sunoo. "It's just leaves."

Looking as if his soul had just left his body, Sunoo wraps his arms tightly around Heeseung's. "Let's keep walking." He gulps. "Like you said, we're nearly there."

"How do I even deal with you kids?" Shaking his head in disbelief, Heeseung reaches into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He swipes into the settings and turns on the torch, then angling it to the path in front of him. "Better? you can let go now."

"Mm hmm, better yeah." Sunoo cowardly responds, twisting his arms tighter. "I think i'll just stay like this though." 

At the back of the group, Riki's diligently playing level 162 of 'Nightmare Dragons Vs Fire Demons 2' on his phone, a level that he's been stuck on for a week. 

"YES!" Riki lets out an accomplished yell, proudly lifting his arms into the air. "Finally I have defeated you!"

"Shhh! Riki oh my gosh." Jungwon's angry whispers float past Riki's ears.

"I have just- what the hell are you doing?"  Ready to scold Jungwon, Riki looks to his left, but is immediately taken aback by his weird behavior. 

Crouch walking nervously beside Riki, Jungwon's head was twisting and turning in every possible direction, almost like he's frantically looking out for something. 

"I'm surprised you haven't got whiplash yet, with the speed you're thrashing your head around." Riki laughs.

"Can you please be quiet! We're only high schoolers, we're not meant to be here." Jungwon continues whispering. "Do you know how much trouble we'll be in if we get caught?"

"I don't really care-"

"So much! We're literally trespassing. I could go to prison, that would affect the rest of my life. To start I would disappoint my whole family, then get rejected from my dream university, which leads to losing out on every job I apply for, meaning I have no money. Bam! homeless by 19."
