My close friend

For you I care (2)

It began raining heavier and the wind was blowing harder. The umbrella was barely of any use as our lower body had already been drenched- Chanyeol's lower body, that is. He was doing his best to walk as fast as he could while I was holding the umbrella for the both of us. Ah, I felt like I was imposing my weight over him. To be honest, I felt really heavy (not that I wasn't in reality, hehehe). If only I was looking where I was walking...! Really, how careless of me!

It was getting darker and darker but it was only 14.30! That meant that the weather was only going to worsen. This was bad as our path would only get muddier and more slippery. I tried to keep calm and kept thinking that we would nearly reach a kiosk...!

The branches and trunks of the trees rubbing against each other were making rather uncanny noises, just like the creaking of doors when they open...! Creepy right? Chanyeol was hearing it too and started walking quicker. I swear, we were such a cowardly couple! But even so, walking too quickly might be dangerous for the both of us.

"Hey.. It's okay, no need to walk that fast. The path is getting muddy and you may slip."

"Yes yes. Sorry."

Hmm... the atmosphere was still tense. He was really feeling guilty over nothing though. I mean, realistically speaking, I was clearly the one at fault here as I was not attentive, and I got what I deserved. That was all there was to it! No matter how you look at it! 

"Chanyeol, for the love Toben, please cheer up will ya? What is it you are feeling guilty about? Look I know- we both know that I fell due to my carelessness! You do not have to feel guilty about anything! It's frustra-"

"I am not feeling guilty at all, at least no longer. It's just that, I don't remember we had walked THAT much...!"

And here I thought he was feeling down because- WAIT, what!?

"Yeah! Way to go to scare me! Tell me you are joking here!"

"No. I am not. I think we.. we are lost."

Okay! Firstly, I was injured and secondly, we were lost! JUST GREAT!! I was well aware that we were both to blame here but I could not help from feeling frustrated. And on top of that, the nasty, uneasy feeling I have had, was still lingering around! What was the matter!? What was going to go wrong!?

CRACK CRACK CRACK

"Hey, you heard that...!?" frained Chan. I was too focused on being frustrated that I did not hear anything.

"AH! There it is again! You heard it right!?"

"Yes, this time I heard it. It seems like there is something in the bushes there...."

Okay, now what!? Why couldn't we just go back the same way we came, that is, calmly, under a covered sky, with no rain!?!? WAIT!

"Chanyeol, I just recalled that some people have heard strange sounds and seen strange things here. I think-"

CRACK CRACK CRACK

The sound just became louder...!

"Okay, whatever it is, it is nearby. Yeah so, as I was saying, I think it may be a boar....!"

"Yeah, could be. Anyway, we should hurry- Oh, I must hurry."

"Hey, it's not like I wanted to fall and hurt myself, you over-sized elf!"

"Sorry I did not mean to hurt you."

He started taking huge, quick steps. Finally, it was not such a bad thing being hurt in the knees; at least I would not have to run to keep up with Chan. As we sped up, the sound was fainting, and thank goodness!
