Sandeul's POV

"Bwo?!" We all looked at Cnu hyung who shouted at his phone.
"Ne. Kurae. Please update us immediately. Ne, kamsahamnida." He hung up and gravely walked up to us.
"Wae? Wae gurae?" Jinyoung asked.
We were just about to meet our manager to go over to the set where hyung was having his last shoot for their collaboration.
"Big trouble. Sujeong is missing."
"BWO?!" The members chorused.
"What happened? Where.. How...?" Baro asked all confused.
"Jal morogeseoyo. The shoot is cancelled." Cnu hyung shook his head.
"Did they call the police?" Gongchan worriedly asked.
"They can't. If they do the media might take notice so they are taking cautious measures. I don't know what they are doing about it." hyung replied.
"Shouldn't we do something?" Jinyoung asked.
Without hesitation I pulled my phone out from my pocket and called her number.
"What are you doing Sandeul? You can't just carelessly do that, what if some gang kidnapped her and traced your call? Don't create more trouble!" Cnu hyung had a point but nothing was gonna stop me.

"Y-yeob-boseyo...?" The dazed and trembling voice of Sujeong came.
"Sujeong-ah! Eodiseoyo? Gwaenchana?" I shouted at my phone and all the members flocked around me to listen.
"Jamkkanman!" She whispered and became quiet.
"Sujeong? Sujeo--"
"Quiet!" She hissed.
"WHERE THE F**K IS SHE?!" A loud voice could be heard from the phone that sounded a bit distant from where she was.
"Search every corner! I will kill the two of you if she escapes! He'll kill me if he learns about this! Move!"

It was quiet for a while as the members worriedly glanced at each other.
Ruffling sounds was coming from the other side of the call.
"Ow!"
"Sujeong? Are you okay?" I worriedly asked.
Where the heck was she?!
"I'm fine." She sounded calm for someone who's been kidnapped.
"Where are you right now? Who was that?"
"I'm.... I don't know where I am right now. They took me to this abandoned warehouse but I slipped just before they tied me and-- oh shoot!"
"Hey!" Somebody shouted somewhere near her.
"Sujeong? Hold on a bit." I turned to the members who were frozen in horror.
"How do we trace this call?" I asked but they just stared at me with their horrified reactions.
We've never been in this kind of situation so everyone was panicking but I'm so worried about Sujeong, I don't have time to panic!
Suddenly, as if the balloon of silence that kept them dazed popped, they all spoke at once I couldn't understand anything.
"Snap out of it guys!" They got back to their senses and got to work as I talked to Sujeong on the phone.
"Sujeong? We're coming to get you stay--" the call was hanged.
I run my hands through my hair in worry and frustration.
I hope she's alright.
I hope she gets back safe.

Julie's POV

I ran through the endless woods hoping to lose my chaser behind.
"Stop! Hey!" She screamed after me.
The hell I'd stop! She's probably one of them. No one else is in the vicinity but them. I won't get caught again.
Good thing the two guys who were gonna tie me up was stupid enough to let me slip past them.
The pills Chris gave me probably had some same constituent as the one they shoved on my face so my body easily adjusted to the sleep effect and I woke up earlier than they thought I would.
The smell still lingered in my nose making me feel calm despite my current situation.
"Ow!" I fell down tripping on rocks again.
"Wait! Just stay still for a second!"
I looked back to see her gaining in on me.
Why isn't she tripping over all these stones and woods and debris? It's annoying me.
I tried to get up but my ankle throbbed.
"Ah shit!" I must've twisted my ankle when I fell.
I half ran, half dragged myself not caring where I was going.
"No! Stop!" She held me from behind securing me in position.... above a cliff.
My eyes widened and I fell back to her.
My breath ragged.
I wasn't aerophobic. But it was as if all the anxiety had caught up to me and I couldn't breath.
"Hey! Hey!" Her voice seemed to be coming from underwater and my head spinned.
"I.." I clutched my chest in pain. "Can't..." Everything rotated and I blacked out.

"Julie." I opened my eyes to see Jay. I sat up.
"What... where.." I couldn't form any sentence.
Jay laughed.
Oh god. I missed that laugh.
"Get up. We're going to shop remember?" He smiled.
I poked his face and I swear I felt him. He was there. He was alive.
He swatted my hand away.
"What's your problem? Get up or we'll leave you." He said and turned to leave.
We're going to shop? Then it dawned on me.
Today was that day.
But I was supposed to be sick.
"No.. no stop! Jay! We... we can't go. Let's just go tomorrow, can't we?" I ran up to him to tug on his sleeve but it seemed like he was so far away.
He didn't look back and I couldn't catch up to him.
"Wait! Jay don't go! Don't leave me! No! Wait! Please!" I tried to catch up. Tried to touch him but even though he was just walking he was getting farther and farther. Towards a fire. A massive fire that will engulf him and burn him into ashes.
No. Don't!
He was vanishing from my sight.
I called out to him. I tried to make him stay. But no.. he left. He left me.
He was gone.
He's gone.

"Don't!" I shot up breathless.
"Hey! Calm down, girl. You're safe." The girl who chased me said.
"Who are you? Where are we?" I asked as I wiped sweat on my forehead with my backhand, relieved that it was all just a dream.
But it wasn't.
He was really gone.
"I'm Jisha. And we're in my secret place. And you? Who are you?" She asked handing me a towel.
"Thankyou. I..." I looked at her. I hope she's not a crazy fan or hater.
"I'm Sujeong." It doesn't seem like so since she didn't recognize me.
"How'd you get here? This place is surrounded by woods. Nobody knows of this except me and..." She trailed off.
"I was kidnapped."
"Bwo?" She looked sincerely surprised.
"I was kept at some warehouse and--"
"The big shed?"
"Shed, or whatever. I was drugged, okay? So I don't remember."

Jisha explained that this place was a really deserted area because there had been an infection that spread here decades ago. There was a lab somewhere nearby that the infection came from and the people had long abandoned this place. Only a few people who survived from the plague knew of this place and that included her halmeonim.

"I should get home, I-- ow!"
"You twisted your ankle. It'll be okay with good rest. You can stay here. Nobody will find this place." She said.
I looked around and felt for my phone in my pocket.
"My handphone."
"You must've dropped it in the woods." She told me.
"I have to go look for it. My manager will--"
"It's futile. The sun is setting and it'll be dark soon. You won't see a thing out there." She said as she lit candles.
I flinched a bit.
I hate fires.
"And there's no signal here. I told you nobody can find this place. It's the nook of this deserted place. You wanna eat? I only have ramhyun."
We ate in silence and soon night came.

We familiarized with each other since we'll be spending the night together.
She was surprised to know I was an idol.
"Idol's usually study in SOPA, but you study in SNU." She gestured at my dirty uniform.
"Do you possibly have a change of clothes?" I asked.
"Sadly no. I haven't come here in a while."

Jisha was from New Zealand.
Her mother grew up there but both her parents were Korean.

"My sister would've been delighted to see you. She's crazy about idols and celebrities. She thought she could've been one." Her eyes gleamed with sadness.
I stayed quiet not wanting to say anything that could hurt her feelings.

***
I opened my eyes only to close them again.
There was light coming in from a high window.
I sat up on bed and found Jisha sleeping on the tattered couch.

"Jisha. Jisha, wake up. Ji--"
"No wait!" She suddenly shot up that I fell back on my butt.
"Ow!"
She panted.
"Are you alright?" I cautiously asked.
"Yes. Let's... just get home." She said and got up to leave.

Okay. That was weird.
