.

In the stark darkness of the night, the sounds of light snoring mixed with the low chirp of crickets could be heard. In the tent laid by the river bank, four men lay comfortably, sleeping soundly like there's no worries in the world.

Apparently one of them wasn't there inside.

Yeosang yawned silently as he gently turned to the other side. He opened his eyes a bit, only to find an empty space where his best friend was sleeping. Thinking it was an illusion, he gently tapped the space beside him to make sure. His eyebrows shot up.

He made sure not to wake the others up and slowly crawled out of the tent. After adjusting his eyes to the darkness, he looked around searchingly. But no wooyoung was found.

His gaze fell upon the calm waters of the river. His mind started landing upon the wrong conclusions. He released a shaky breath.

       "WOOYOUNG WHERE ARE YOU?"

After yelling into the void, he started walking inside the dark expanse of the forest, shoving away all the terror that resided inside him.

He called his name several times when he felt a rustling sensation behind a distant tree. He squinted his eyes to look for the source of the sound.

"Dang, yeosang, at least let me pee in peace"
An irritated Wooyoung emerged from behind the huge tree. Yeosang exhaled in relief.

"I thought you drowned in the river, that's why I was worried for you."
Wooyoung snorted.

"WHAT, you really did me dirty there. Now let's go back to the tent. I hope you didn't wake up the others."

"No I didn't wake them."

They walked out of the trees and neared the tent, when wooyoung tapped the others shoulder.

"Hey, yeo, I wanna talk about something, can you come aside for a minute."

"Yeah sure" he led him a bit farther from the river.

"Uhh, did you feel anything sus in the forest since our arrival here?"

Yeosang's mouth went agape.
He sucked in some air and started speaking in a hushed tone.
"To be honest, I really sensed something the second I stepped inside this place. Also, when we were cooking at the grill, I think I felt something move among the trees. Bruh, this place is really mysterious."

Wooyoung was listening throughout with wide eyes. He really thought that he was losing his mind when he experienced that, but after hearing yeosang's encounters, he was convinced. This forest is really something. His interest piqued further.

"So, you see, I found that black rock lying nearby and I" he rummaged through his pocket and fished out the same rock from before
"I picked it up, isn't it cool"

Yeosang look intently at the thing and released a sigh.
"I thought that you had finally reached the highest level of dumbassery, but here we are"

"Why, what's the problem with it"

"Maybe........it could be a dangerous rock, considering the engraving on it, it seems very ancient."

"That's why it's so intriguing, it's shine attracts me." He said while examining the rock and tracing the shallow engravings with the tip of his finger.

The other boy threw his hands in surrender.
"Whatever you say, don't come crying to me when this rock turns evil or, possesses you or something."

Yunho groaned in exhaustion when his sleep was interrupted by a strange sound. He frowned and pressed his hands on his ears to make the sound dissipate.
But the inexplainable whisperings made him think that he was losing his mind.

He got up abruptly, his breathing coming out in deep and erratic inhales and exhales.

He closed his eyes to focus on the sounds, only to found them coming from outside the tent. He brought his ear near the opening of the tent. He could hear slight whispers which were becoming more audible and clear.

"...........sensed something the second I stepped inside this place........."

He squinted his eyes, it was yeosang's voice.
He was talking to somebody whom he instantly recognized as wooyoung when he heard the high-pitched whispers. They were talking about their weird encounters in the forest.

Shocked was an understatement because he had experienced it too. The hushed whispers, the random movements that he had caught in his peripheral vision and him waking up several times in the middle of the night, everything indicated that the Hannam forest was way far from natural.

He released a shaky breath upon the grave realization. The all of a sudden, his head started spinning spinning as a painful sound resonated from inside his mind.

He squeezed his eyes shut and covered his ears to make the ringing stop. His mind got clouded with hazy glimpses.

Yunho saw something flash in his mind

"𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦....."

Then suddenly his mind flashed again. He winced.

Yunho clutched the hem of his shirt so tightly that his knuckles started turning white. The pounding of his heart in his ears mixed with the sound of sirens.

And then his vision started blacking out.
His head hit the ground with a muffled thud.
