Chapter 4⋆⭒˚｡

Stepping out the apartment felt like an immediate mistake. Your body started to quiver slightly as your hands tighten their grip around the bloodied kitchen knife.

The heavy door of Hyun-Su's apartment slammed shut and you scrunched your eyes closed for a moment before opening them again.

Hyun-Su was staring at you, checking up on you. You breathed out a broken breath before motioning for him to make his way to your apartment.

Your shared apartment wasn't far but it felt like it was. The mess of outside seemed to have gotten worse but you tried your best to ignore it as you stayed directly behind Hyun-Su.

For some reason you were very aware of how loud your steps were; your breathing; and even the sound of your clothes. It freaked you out.

Seconds later, Hyun-Su had stopped outside your apartment but gave space for you to open the door.

You went to turn the door handle but stopped when you saw the door was open slightly, like it was closed in a rush but had been forced open. You felt your heart drop and you shared a scared look with Hyun-Su who harden his hold on his weapon.

You pushed open the door and was welcomed to your apartment which didn't look ransacked at all. In fact it looked exactly the same as when you left.

You hastily called for Ha-rin's name and checked the bedroom and bathroom. But nothing. She wasn't here.

"She's not here", you said to Hyun-Su as he was standing at the entrance, watching you. "She's not here. Why wouldn't she be here?", you asked that question more so to yourself, not expecting an answer.

Hyun-Su didn't know what to say or do. He wanted to comfort you, he really did but how?

"Maybe...Maybe she went downstairs?", Hyun-Su suggested.

You stopped walking around and took a breather. Hyun-Su was right, there was no way Ha-rin would allow herself to be killed, no way.

You looked around the apartment before deciding to fill a bag with food and water and even the small first aid kit.

"Hyun-Su, help me fill this bag with any food that won't go off", you said as you grabbed a bag and began rooting through your cupboards.

Hyun-Su hurriedly took off his shoes and followed your actions. You both threw whatever you could find that wouldn't go off into the bag and you grabbed the bottled waters you kept in the fridge. You ran to the bathroom and reached into the bottom cupboard for the first aid kit.

You threw the bag over your back and walked towards the door. Hyun-Su following behind. Before leaving you gave one finally look at your apartment, grabbed your archery equipment at the entrance and left.

You hauled your archery bag at you side as your bow was hitting off your leg, the bag on your back began to slip and was about to fall but Hyun-Su grabbed it and threw it over his own back.

"Thank you", you said as you now could rest your bow comfortably on your shoulder and your arrows on your back. You tried not to panic too hard about Ha-rin not being in your apartment but you couldn't help it.

'She has gone downstairs', you convinced yourself as you neared the old man's apartment.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

You slowly took off your shoes as Hyun-Su stayed at the entrance, just staring at the old man. You looked up to get a better look of the apartment and the man who looked to be sitting behind a desk busy with what looked to be weapons he had made from things in his apartment.
