Coming across a small field, Yuzhuo sat down on the grass to catch a breath.
The killers were released 20 minutes ago, leaving half an hour left for her to avoid being caught.
She had ran the whole time without a break, and it was beginning to show. "Gosh, I need to exercise more..", she frowned, heaving.
A rustle within the bushes made her tense, her head snapping in the specific direction as a figure emerged, glancing behind them in suspicion. "Jisung?".
The boy flinched, his eyes widened at the sight of the girl. "Yuzhuo?".
Yuzhuo let out a breathy laugh. "Isn't this field in forest 1?", she mused.
Jisung shook his head with furrowed brows. "No? I thought it was forest 2.", the two stared at each other before cracking a smile.
"Must be a middle ground.", the other nodded in agreement.
"Sweet, we can chill here together. Worst case scenario, we'll just kill the seeker.", Yuzhuo shrugged.
Jisung laughed awkwardly before sitting nearby, leaning against a tree.
"This is kind of boring, not gonna lie. I would've loved to be a killer.", she pouted.
Jisung shivered as a scream was heard deep within the forest. "Yeah, I think I'd rather not hide in fear of being stabbed.", he grimaced.
The two sat in silence for awhile, enjoying the breeze, until Yuzhuo decided to speak. "Hey, Jisung?", "Hm?".
"Why did you enroll? I mean, despite the family pressure and all. You don't seem too found of bloodshed.", she questioned, genuinely curious.
Jisung looked down at his lap, contemplating his answer. "Well, I certainly am not blood crazed like some people I know.".
Yuzhuo scoffed. "Ouch!", Jisung chuckled, shaking his head. "But really, I didn't want to let my brother down. He graduated a few years ago and is doing all of Father's dirty work nowadays..", Jisung sighed.
"I want to help him, take some of the burden. He has a big target on his back. If I can make it any easier for him... even if it ruins my life as well, I think that'd put some use to my existence.", he shared, smiling lightly.
Yuzhuo stared, a soft look in her eyes. "That's very admirable, Jisung. I can see just how much your brother means to you. He should be lucky to have such a kind and caring younger brother such as you.", she smiles at him.
"Thanks, Zhuo. I know we don't talk much, but I do see you as a friend. I hope we can have more moments like this... in the future.", he smiles back.
The two smile at each other as Yuzhuo let's out a soft sigh. "I'm surprised no one's found us yet.".
Jisung pouts. "Don't jinx it!", he sighed as Yuzhuo chuckled, tapping a tree near by. "Knock on wood.".
Jisung smiled, nodding. However, they had already been jinxed.
Another rustling noise was heard, capturing their attention. They both stood up, Jisung's fists clenched and Yuzhuo reaching down into her pocket for her handgun.
"Who's there.", she spoke in a dangerously low voice, her eyes narrowed at the trees of forest 2.
Two petite individuals emerged from behind the trees, knife in hand and devilish smirks on their faces.
Yuzhuo faltered, surprised. "Chaeyoung? And...".
Jisung paled, his entire being trembling at the sight of the second figure, jaw clenching in a violent rage. "Lalisa...".
Yuzhuo narrowed her eyes on the girl, puzzled at how Jisung knew her.
She most definitely wasn't a student at their school, considering her different colored uniform.
"Lalisa? Who are you?", she glared, watching the two girls with great caution.
"You're Yuzhuo, right?", Lalisa smirked. "My, it's nice to finally meet you! But sadly, I'm gonna have to kill you now.", her sweet tone vanished into something more deadly.
Her body trembled and her smirk widened, a crazed look in her eyes. She wasn't normal, no, she was psycho.
Lalisa lunged towards Yuzhuo, laughing in a possessed way that made Yuzhuo's skin crawl.
Jisung shouted out, rushing to move in front of Yuzhuo to shield her from the oncoming intruder.
"Don't underestimate her, her kill rank is the highest amongst the two rival schools.", Jisung warned, dodging Lalisa's first attack.
"What the hell are you doing here?! You aren't allowed to be here! This is Seoul Private School grounds, not Vision Private School!!", Jisung yelled at her, the woman scoffing.
"Stay out of my way, you nuisance!", she screamed, thrusting the knife in many directions with speed and skill.
Jisung barely managed to dodge, recieving small slices here and there. He groaned as he backed up. "Don't you dare touch my friend, you witch!!", he growled.
Yuzhuo was stunned, frozen in her spot. For some reason, she didn't want to interfere. Seeing Jisung show even the smallest ounce of bravery for her was touching.
Also, Jisung was incredibly high ranked amongst the students, so she knew he could handle himself.
However, Yuzhuo had a very... bad feeling.
"Jisung, wait!", Yuzhuo rushed forward and took over, grasping Lalisa's hand in a swift save.
The two began to wrestle as Yuzhuo attempted to disarm the woman of her only saving grace.
Jisung paled, trying to interfere and handle it himself, but Yuzhuo stuck firmly to the battle.
Lalisa swept her leg across the ground, sending Yuzhuo face first into the grass. Jisung stepped in, blocking Lalisa's next attack by stopping the attempted stab.
The woman was beginning to get irritated with the amount of failed attempts on the two.
She twisted around, pushing Jisung out of the way as she shouted orders at her accomplice.
Chaeyoung smirked, grabbing ahold of Jisung in a tight grip as she held her knife up to his throat.
Yuzhuo sat up just as Lalisa crouched down in front of her, a smirk on her face.
Yuzhuo narrowed her eyes, glaring angrily at the girl who had called herself her friend. "Why are you doing this?", she seethed.
Chaeyoung looked away as Lalisa swung her arm back, slapping Yuzhuo across the face at her moment of distraction.
"I'm over here, bitch.", she grabbed a handful of Yuzhuo's hair as she didn't even flinch, staring Lalisa down.
The woman scoffed, amused.
"You can thank your pathetic boyfriend for your upcoming demise.".
