-Stay Alive-

Chapter 8: Disaster

*knock* *knock*

"Come in," Mr.Lee looked up, "Do you need something."

"I have something to tell you..."

Later during night training

"Run! Fast! You'll be as good as dead if you run like this." Mr. Lee was yelling.

"Run if you wish live."

"No one will protect you!"

"You have to survive on your own."

This training was the hardest one till now. I felt like my whole body was going numb due to this hard training. Everyone was going out of breathe.

Yujung fell down on her knees.

"Get up if you wish to live!" Mr.Lee picked Yujung by her coller, "Run!" He pushed her to run but she didn't move a bit.

"I can't do this anymore." She started crying.

"Commander, I can't do this... I can't do this anymore." She fell on her knees crying holding Mr.Lee's hand.

We all stopped on our place after seeing this.

"How the fuck are we supposed to do this training and take CSAT at the end of the year."

"We were too naive like fools."

"We were not naive, the adults wronged us."

"At this point this training will kill me, not the spheres."

"He likes to torture us."

"This is annoying af."

"Guys, don't think about Mr.Lee like that." Kim Wonbin came with snacks for us, "You'll soon realize that he's watching out for all of you." He passed the food box to us.

"As if" everyone scoffed.

Everyone was gathered to have a meeting.

"It's all clear. We're free to talk now."

I felt like Ilha was staring at me.

"Will you please stop staring at me?"

"Will you please get away from me, you big head." Ilha glared at me. I scoffed.

"You-"

"If you two start again, I'll kill you both." Bora slammed her hands on the table.

We both cleared our throat and looked away.

"Guys, I don't believe that our parents went to the shelter."

"What if he lied to us to make us stay here?"

"As if platoon leader oppa— he's not someone who'd lie." Soyeon defended him.

"I don't know who to trust anymore." Youngshin claimed.

"There's no way we can contact our parents either."

"There is a way to contact them." Taeman got up from his seat with a proud smile.

"How?"

"What do we have a lot in our school?" Taeman raised his eyebrow.

Everyone was confused.

"What?"

"Pigeons." He smiled proudly, "We can tie the letter on their feet and-"

"Someone shut him up." Youngshin looked so done.
Ilha pulled him back on his seat.
