" Cheollie hyung ! Wait for me ! "

" We don't really have time to wait for each other Channie-ya."

" Okay, beat it, then, go for it and leave us..."

" Hey ! Why do you say that. "

" We're going to die here anyway."

" Don't say that we're all going to survive, and get out of here..."

Chan starts to cry, while continuing to run. Seungcheol slows his pace and matches his friend's...

" Chan..."

" But I get it hum, you always give in to those jerks anyway..."

" Eh, that's not true..."

" Yes, it is, look where we are with their weird delusions..."

" You could not come..."

" Would that have suited you ? That way, you wouldn't have to put up with an insufferable kid..."

" Nonsense, why do you say that ? "

" You mean it, Seungcheol..."

" N-..."

As Seungcheol and Chan, gradually begin to lose their cool and argue, flashes of motorcycles arrive...

" Guys ! Stop arguing, we don't have time for this..." Says Soonyoung

" Where did you find your motorcycles ? " Asks the eldest.

" On the road."

" Luck..."

" Um, we didn't kind of lose the others though ? "

" They're ahead."

" I hope they're at least not fighting..."

" You and Hoon, did you have a fight ? "

" Absolutely not."

" You'll say that, to the tears streaming down your cheeks..."

Soonyoung puts his foot down and turns off the vehicle's ignition to wipe away his tears, swearing discreetly...

" So personally, I propose that, Hoonie, you drive with Chan, behind you, and Seungcheol and I run." Says Soonyoung

" I'm of the same opinion..." Said Seungcheol

The boys nod and exchange positions. Jihoon gets in front of the bike, Chan behind him and Soonyoung and Seungcheol start running...

" Why were you crying ? " asks the eldest to his friend.

" Why is Chan crying ? "

" Soon..."

" What ? "

" You tell me why you're crying, I'll tell you why Chan was crying..."

" Fuck you, I cried because I make my boyfriend sad, is that okay with you ? "

" Where the hell did that come from ? "

" From myself I know he's not happy, but he loves me so much he doesn't say anything..."

" And you stay as cold as an ice cube, even though you know it..."

" You know it's really hard for me to say what's on my mind, but what about Chan ?"

" He thinks I wanted to leave you here and save my own skin..."

" Because you were running too fast for him, right ? "

".That's right..."

" It's no different from middle-distance running in high school."

" Look, I don't necessarily pay attention..."

" Whereas he needs your attention Cheol..."

" What ? "

" Are you stupid or are you doing this on purpose ? "

Suddenly a roar is heard, the boys look back and see the beast out of the corner of their eyes. Their eyes widen and they start running faster...

" If we die, Soon, know this."

" Shut up, we're not going to fucking die ! Just run, we've got to get there, to the Mansae platform..."

" The lion's gonna get us..."

" No way just run ! "

" Compared to Chan."

" No, but later Cheol, who cares now, a fucking lion wants us dead, and you're just thinking about your relationship with Chan..."

" I don't have a relationship with him..."

" That's what I said, you're stupid ! "

" But explain to me, why ?! "

" Um, afterwards !  "

Soonyoung looks down and jumps, from one car to another. Seungcheol is impressed by his friend's agility, and the two boys really start running with all their might to catch up with their friends, who are further ahead...

" Hey Soon ! "

" What ? "

" I just wanted to ask you where Jeonghan and Shua are ? "

" They walked past us, when we stopped."

" So they need us to go faster, and catch up with everyone.."

" Exactly ! "

The two boys drew on their last remaining strength and ran at full speed. To the Mansae platform

Race time: 35 minutes
