sora and sangwon follow closely behind the three older with her rifle ready and sporadically firing it as spheres try to attack.

closer to the school's entrance, taeyong spots a second pair.

"tae! over here!" sangwon calls for his friend, both taesoo and mark, beside him, turning to see their incoming teammates.

"oh ma god! hyungs?!" mark shouts out and runs into taeyong and jaehyun's arms.

"nice to see you too mark." taeyong chuckles before continuing. "we can't stay here long, we've got matters to attend to."

"the more we wait and stay here fighting, more spheres fall from the sky." minha explains to the two newcomers.

"the school is compromised beyond saving..." jaehyun sadly says. "we've done all we can. we're running out of firepower— so unless we gather the rest of the squadron and leave now, we won't make it out alive."

"then what are we standing here for?! let's go!" mark exclaims.

————

"go go go!!" minha shouts as she ushers the whole squadron minus two, back into the school— closing the doors shut behind her.

"we still can't find mj or jaemin!! where are they?!" chenle panics.

"they are here somewhere. we just have to stay calm... okay guys." haechan insists.

"we aren't leaving without them. alright?" jaehyun claims.

"how will we find them if we are trapped in here?" iseul asks.

"they are smart kids. i trust them and i know that they'll find their way to us." taeyong speaks, eyes scanning the young ones. their eyes show fear and worry.

he notices renjun squinting his eyes while looking out of the door to outside.

"h-hey—" he starts. "it's jaejoo!! I SEE THEM!! LOOK!" he excitedly shouts, pointing to the pair that sprint to their direction.

"jaejoo! jaejoo! jaejoo!" the kids start chanting teasingly as the 'couple' gets closer.

"jaej— oh my god!" hyerin yells as she jumps up and goes to the door.

"behind you!!" she starts to scream to the incoming duo.

jaemin notices the girl behind the door and sees her frantically waving her arms around— distraught.
