*Wooshh...* A blowing wind sounded calmly that night. Yet, Freya's heartbeat got louder as the sound of stepping shoes also got closer to her. Freya hugged her legs in front of her chest.. Trembling.. She looked extremely scared and bit her nails.
"I don't know where she went..", lied a fat guy to his friend. Teasing a girl who hid behind the wall of an old house.
"I don't think we will find her any sooner.. kkk", giggled the other skinnier man.
Freya was sweating a lot after being chased by those two men a few minutes ago.
"Mmphh.."
Those two men heard Freya's sound behind the wall. "Wow.. There she is!", The fat man said to his friend, couldn't wait any longer to see the girl that they'd been chasing. They giggled together, thought their plan had been going well.
They tried to surprise. The fat guy shouted, "Ahaa! Sweety! There you are this whole ti-...", They were shocked. Looking each other's faces.
Their prey disappeared.

Meanwhile, 200 meters away from the old house, a young woman ran together with a young man around her age. They ran as if they tried to run from the beasts.
"Run faster!", asked the young man with a black hoodie to the girl whose her hand he pulled while running.
"I-i can't..", she said as she wasn't able to control her breath.
"Let's find a tree to hide for.. now! I-i can't run anymore", she continued talking and released her hand from that young man. Putting her hands on her knees to support her exhausted body and soul. That young man stopped and turned. Just like her, he tried to control his breath after running from the 'beasts'.
"At least, let's hide behind that huge tree!". He dragged that helpless girl to hide.
***
They sat together behind the tree. Silence filled the air. That young man looked at the girl next to him. "Your knees are bleeding.", He said to her as he took off his hoodie to wrap those bleeding knees.
That girl looked at him.. and said, "I'm Freya."
He stared at her and looked away, "I don't think this is the right time for introduction." He said afterwards while he was too busy wrapping her knees.
"Why did you help me?", Freya said, pierced her eyes and looked at him curiously.
He looked back at her with a serious expression "Should I take you back to that place?"
"N-no! Of course, not!", Freya replied with a trembling voice. That young man laughed lightly.
"What are you doing, here? It's so late at night.", that man checked his watch. "Or, probably it's too early in the morning to hang out." His watch showed that it's 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Is it 3 o'clock?!", She was surprised after staring at his watch. It wasn't bright, but her sight still could catch some features around. Thank goodness there was moonlight.
"Mmm.. hm..", she cleared her throat a little. "what about you, buddy? Are you a hero who always saves a helpless soul around here?", She continued jokingly.
"I am.", He answered calmly and looked away.
They both acted awkwardly and burst into laughter.

"Should we stay here till the sun rises?", Freya asked and smiled even though her face was full of dirt.
"My house is around here. You can at least fix your messy hair before enjoying the sunrise.", He prepared to go and stood up.
