It's Ok, It's Not Ok

Lay flinched, shoulders hunching up when bullets came firing at him from behind. Quickening his steps toward an approaching tree, he made a sharp turn so that he could use it as a shield. Stepping out to the side, Lay focused on those chasing after him firing shots repeatedly.

Once those in sight were down he continued on with haste. He eventually slowed upon catching sight of bodies on the ground and stopped to observe them. Lifting his head up to look ahead of him where the forest only loomed on, he again hurried on.

One of his team mates was here.

Among the heavy silence, Lay remained in stance with arms extended out, shifting his aim back and from. A row of trees lined up before him and with every step he took to hiding behind each tree. A dishelved cry echoed in the distance. Lay thought he recognized the tone and without hesitating, darted forward.

Almost twenty feet ahead of him was Suho fallen on the ground, someone sweeping down from the tree above. Alarmed, Lay narrowed his eyes and steadied his aim.

A ringing echoed in his ears when the man crumpled down onto his knees before Suho and fell forward. Suho barely budged and realizing he must have been shocked, Lay walked forward.

"You ok?" Lay questioned.

Stiff Suho turned to look at him, his eyes staring at him for the longest moment. Finally shaking his head he managed, "Thanks."

"Come on," Lay urged. "We have to find the others."

Chorong lifted her head up at the sound of the door opening. A ray of light seeped into the room and even though it wasn't very bright, it was strong enough to blind her. She was forced to turn away, losing opportunity to catch the faces of the two who'd come for her.

"You're free now," one of them congratulated, pulling her up from the ground, while the other laughed.

"Your people have come for you."

At this, Chorong immediately raised her head to look at them.

"Lets hurry and finish this. I want to leave."

"Yes, yes," the other nodded with lack of energy before pulling her hastily after him.

An old room filled with strange machinery appeared before her. Chorong spotted broken windows and a weak ray of sunlight filtering inside. The wooden floorboards creaked underneath their weight and before the scent of fresh air hit her, everything had smelt moldy.

Finally on green land, Chorong felt like a prisoner caged for centuries. She felt both woozy and dizzy, her legs threatening to give way. It was then that she realized she was really hungry and there were blots of red on her shirt, both dried and fresh. There was no energy in her system to spare for a fight.

While her eyes traced and sucked in the details of her surroundings, she saw that they were in the middle of nowhere. Trees towered over her from left to right.

Where exactly were the others?

"Are you ready yet?" The man keeping a hold on her called.

That was when she realized that the second man who'd been with them, wasn't there. Turning to her right she spotted him picking up something black from beside the building. It was a long black rifle and he was testing it out.

Her head was forcibly turned, "Eh, eh, eh. No peeking. This is going to be a surprise."

What was he going on about?

"We're leaving!" He shouted, pushing her toward the woods.

Wrestling with the gun was pointless. However Donghae tried to point the nose of the gun toward the man, he always seemed to push it away. Finally releasing his grip on the handle he slid the gun up before twisting it to the side and downward, as if he was spinning the oars on a ship. Twisting the man's hands up, Donghae stomped on his feet and at last freed his gun.
