MinYoung blankly stares at the waterfall. She was alone. She was staring into space for at least half an hour in silence. She didn't have any choice in getting out of here. Unskilled in climbing, she could only wait.
Perplexed about the missing figure, a shadow in her memories, she dug far to see who it was.
Who is that person talking to her? Why could she feel the presence of this person, but cannot physically remember the embrace of this person? What made her mind to forget such recollections?
MinYoung knew what happened to her Mother. She remembered what her Uncle did to her. She recalled the strained events of the burning building and the helpless werewolves. The memories of SeokJin persists in her mind. Their relationship remained as acquaintances.
She didn't forget about her friends, Sul Hee and Hei Ryung. Their time spent together were clear in her mind. Everything up to the point where the building burned. She didn't understand why.
There was a shadow behind that structure, but she can't recall who it was.
MinYoung felt empty, albeit there were others by her side. She wanted to feel content at least, but bearing the pain wasn't as easy as stated. Her mind was hollow of any thoughts.
Minutes later, a figure merges from the water.
His body and clothing were heavily drenched in water, but it didn't scare MinYoung at all. She wasn't the least bit surprised at his sudden appearance. He always emerges from the underground path. They had to lead somewhere.
She was a terrible swimmer and climber. One small mistake and her body would heavily plunge back down either directly to the water of stoned ground. MinYoung didn't take any chances to get out of here.
The lass observed SeokJin ambling closer to her figure. She was sitting by the edge, soaking her legs in the running water.
"SeokJin ..." MinYoung began, but silence fell upon her incoming words. She didn't know what to say. Devastated had already long passed and she felt empty. MinYoung severed her ties with the world. Her guardian was long gone.
She is the only surviving member in the Jang family.
It felt as if she knew him far more than her own friends and family. Knowing SeokJin for a short period of time was actually the opposite.
SeokJin approached her and merely pecked MinYoung on the cheeks. He returned from the short hunting with his siblings. Flustered as she was, she touched her left cheek and glanced away bashfully. They were the only two beings in this enclosed cave. She felt embarrassed. SeokJin felt nothing, but an odd bubbling sensation within.
Followed after were Jungkook and his sisters. They were the only survivors out of all, including SeokJin. They, too, emerged from the underground pathway. It took them several months of training to breath moderately, unlike SeokJin who took only a week to master the art of breathing.
They appeared like normal human beings. This was the first time MinYoung saw them in their human form. Usually, she would be seeing thick furs of grey, brown and burnt gold. However, they weren't in that form now.
"Welcome ... back." MinYoung mumbled.
The sisters greeted back cheerfully amidst the gloomy aura shading everyone. They weren't happy with the current circumstances, but contentment and gratefulness abided as they are still breathing.
Jungkook couldn't keep his gaze away from MinYoung. He was rather concerned for her wellbeing. It wasn't easy to accustom being around werewolves. By instinct, humans would be eaten at first glance. He wondered what ran around in her mind, aside from the tragedy weeks ago.
