CHAPTER 6: Hunt

Baekhyun

Waking up with the longest time of sleep, I exited the cabin. Luhan and Taehyung were no longer in their beds. I just slept for an hour or two and they were out of their bed.

I ran outside and with the worry that break inside me, I didn't see the man in front of me and I crashed with him. My samurai sword clang behind my back.

"Did you see Luhan and Taehyung? Where are they? I slept and I--"

"Shh.. Don't worry, they're just around. I think I saw them, just in front of the grand cabin." A man a bit taller than me speaking. It calmed me down as I glanced one more time at him before walking quickly towards there.

"How can we contribute here?" I heard Luhan asked the man who was named Sehun. They were just standing in front of the grand house as if waiting for someone. Oh god, I shouldn't be worrying too much now.

"Wait till we assign you. No need to be impatient." The Sehun guy spoken monotonously.

With my samurai clung to my back, I walked towards them.

I fixed my composure before I approach them.

"There are lots of birds chirping in this area, seems like there's a lot of resources in the forest, might as well hunt some boars or deers." I butted in, looking around the people synchronizing in chores to develop the area.

"It's dangerous. Wait for orders to gather up volunteers for hunting. We haven't been hunting since a long time ago because of the incident that leads us to lose dozens of men." He spoke sternly. His stoic face didn't even faze. I'm bad at orders... since did I follow orders?

After hell dragged us to its lair, orders are already messed up. Why follow it now?

"I'll be back in an hour or two." I bid and averted my eyes on the wooden gate where three people is guarding it. I didn't even get permission or even a single response as I started turning away from them.

Taehyung and Luhan didn't speak another word though. They're the ones who know my stubborn nature.

"I'll just take a few walks outside these wooden walls, better check if there's damage," I announced to the three guards as soon as I was in front of them.

"You can't leave without permission." One guard stated truthfully.

By whose permission? Tss... That deaf-mute male who lives in the grand cabin?

I don't even listen to my parents before, why should I follow him?

"When did you last ate fresh uncanned meat?" I asked, hoping that they would get interested. Well, which they did.

"Long time ago." They spoke in unison. It's my turn to flash a small smile.

"Would you let me slip out, for you to eat boar meat this afternoon?" I bargained, earning the sparkles on their eyes.

"Then you should let me out for a small amount of time," I said as I slipped myself in between them. I unlocked the hooks and exited the huge wooden gate.

"No, please! We're going to get in trouble if you got killed out there just because-"

"Relax, don't judge me by the looks." I smiled and moved away completely. Finally, behind the large wooden gate, I got the view of the green forest in front of my eyes, a small smirk playing on my lips.
