Sim Hae-Jeong POV

"So are you coming?" Eunchae asked
"Of course, I won't miss it for the world", I replied 
"Is Ni-ki coming too?", she asked
"Yeah"
"Okay, see you later", she said and ended the call

_ _ _ 6:00pm _ _ _

<3Bae<3

Yo, I'm outside
seen

I'm coming

I got my things and hurried outside. 

"Hey babe", I said
"Hey, Let me help with that"

I left the bags to him and got in the passengers seat.

"Okay we're set", he says and speeds off.

_ _ _ 7:00pm _ _ _

We arrived like 15 minutes late at the camp shed and I got into my shared room with Eunchae.

"Oh you're here", she says meeting me in the room
"Mhm", I hummed in response
"I can't wait to get this night started"
"Me too. We got into a seniors party girl!", I said jumping and squealing with Eunchae
"Yeah, we have to play it cool tonight"
"Sure, what's first?"
"You missed the first course meal but I heard it's the campfire", she replied
"At least I didn't miss the main event", I said smiling and getting ready for it

After settling into our rooms, it was time for the campfire and all the people in cabin that was booked by a senior named Park Jay came for it.

"Oh my gosh, I guess just anyone can be invited to a place like this", a familiar voice said

Eunchae and I looked back to see who was muttering such a sentence

"Ugh Wonyoung, let's do this another time", Eunchae said walking past
"Not so fast" she grabbed Eunchae by the arm "I'm talking so you wait and listen"
"I said another time", Eunchae replied looked her sternly in the eye and dragging her wrist from the grip of Wonyoungs'
"Hey Jang, give us a break, would you", I said stepping in
"she wasn't talking to you, back off", Yujin said from her side
"Hey, what's going on here?", Ni-ki said stepping in
"Oh! I get it now. You must be their ticket to here", Yujin said ticking him off
"It's none of your business", He replied and pulled me out of there while Eunchae tagged along.

We all gathered around the bonfire as Jay stepped up and began to give a speech that hardly anyone seemed interested. Right after, him and his friend Beomgyu started suggesting games to play. Soon, games such as spin the bottle, truth or dare, 7 minutes in heaven and the likes were played. I ended up playing truth or dare with Ni-ki and some other kids.

When it got to my turn, I chose dare cus I wasn't a scaredy cat that'll choose truth.

"I have a dare for you", Haerin said [A girl form my art class]
"Yeah, hit me", I replied
"I'll tell you later", she said

"ugh boring"  "this is what we get for inviting juniors"  "told you they weren't party material"...
The seniors muttered while Haerin shrugged it off.

_ _ _ 10pm _ _ _

The main event was now over and people were just partying their life out with drinks while others were making out and the weak ones were off to their rooms. I was with Ni-ki at the bar stand. I was still alert cus of my alcohol tolerance. We were underage drinking but no one by the law was going to notice besides it was only a year apart.

"Did I tell you, you look sexy tonight", Ni-ki said holding my chin to his face
"Yes babe, I always do" I replied leaning in for a kiss before some psycho called me

"Hae-Jeong!"
"Ugh what is it now? can't you see I'm in the middle of something?"

 I said walking towards the voice and stumbling on my steps. I could feel the alcohol begin to kick in.

"Look at you, what a staggered drunkard", she scoffed
"Stop nagging you're not my mom. What is it?"
"My dare, have you forgotten so soon?", she said
"Ugh what is it?"
"Okay it's currently 10:18. I dare you to go into the woods and remain in it for about 15 minutes".
"That's all?" I asked as it seemed to simple
"Yeah" she turned around to leave "oh and be careful. I heard there are some kidnappers in the forest tonight. You don't want to be their victim", she said and smirked away.

I went to get my phone so I could do this stupid dare.

"Where are you going?", Ni-ki said grabbing my hand
"Haerins' dare", I replied annoyed
"So we can't even get...comfy tonight", he said with his hands tracing up my skin
"Shutup, it's mannerless to talk dirty in public", I whispered into his ear and walked off
"Wait up, I'll come with", he replied

We went hand in hand into to the forest.

"Off to?", a voice called out
"What's your business?" I asked
"suit yourself", he said and left

I put on the timer on my phone and began to take a romantic stroll into the forest with Ni-ki

"You should have quit the dare", Ni-ki said
"And look like a wimp. Never"
"but you and I could have been in a way better place"
"Who says", I teased
"It's not like you don't want me"
"I don't" I said running off while he chased me

My phone timer went off and I stopped

"Okay Ni-ki, we can go now" I said looking around for him
"Ni-ki", I called out

Soon I heard the rustling of the leaves

"Is that you?", I was replied with another rustle
"Yah! it's not funny"
"Ni-ki?"

Suddenly, something jumped unto me and grabbed me. The first thing in a situation like this is not to panic but I was panicking

"Please don't kill me", I pleaded to the stranger
"Why would I do that?"

I turned around and saw Ni-ki. I breathe a sigh of relief.

"That scared me. Why play such a trick",
"What trick", he said looking like he had no clue about what I said
"The leaves rustling, don't act dumb"
"Hae, I just got here, you ran too fast"
"stop it, it's not funny"
"I'm serious", he replied
"so who-", I recalled haerins' words "Yah! time is up. Let's get out of here quick!" I said and began to walk quickly

"Hae chill!"
I wasn't listening and kept walking
"Hae!"
I kept walking
"Sim Hae-Jeong!"
"What is it", I turned annoyed but trip on a large piece of wood
"Gosh, are you okay", he said and ran up to me.
"I'm fine", I got up and began limping
"Hey wait! you're beginning to get stressed. Calm down and let me carry you"
"Enough Ni-ki", I shouted and went my way. 

He was a guy, he could be his own shield not mine. Soon enough I heard another rustle and looked up from my phone.

"Not funny Ni-ki" I said
"Ni-ki?" I turned and I didn't see him. Was I on the wrong path, I thought to myself.

Soon, something flew right passed me. it seemed like a reflecting object that shone brightly in my eyes. Just then the tree fell, it must seem sharp. I yelled and made a run for it. I was scared, stressed I was running back into the darn woods. As a track athlete, my only strength was my speed. Then, I tripped on a stone and went crashing down to the sandy floor. I struggled to get up as the shadow grew bigger but I tumbled and it my head on a tree stump. I felt weak and tired. My sight became blurry and the last thing I saw was the silhouette appear closer before I blacked out.
