Chapter 2 : Ditched

Location: Somewhere in the jungle 3rd person perspective

Harui heard two female voices nearby. These voices belonged to Krystal and Jiwoo. The fair lady, with blonde locks of hair flowing down her neck like a dreamy gold river, said through her red luscious lips, "Look who we found, Jiwoo...", judging Harui by her messy appearance, torn camouflage shirt and black shorts that didn't cover much skin. Jiwoo smiled cunningly and replied, "Perfect bait to pull pranks on! Let the acting commence..."

Harui looked around to spot two ladies- whose beauty was astonishing and would surely leave men with their mouths dangling open- approaching her. Harui was too mesmerized by their looks to even notice their smug expressions. "Hey, are you lost? Want us to help you out?", asked Jiwoo. Harui stammered as Krystal and Jiwoo tried to hide their menacing chuckles. "Follow us, we'll help you out of here." Harui mustered a thank you with a sigh of relief. Little did she know that she was being played with. No sooner than five minutes, Harui slipped over the elevated part of the path, miserably falling as the two menaces laughed heartily. They high-fived each other and went away, not realizing that Harui had lost consciousness as she fell. Not realizing the outcome of their foolish act.

About two hours later,

Location: The posh villa 
  Ally's POV

"Tim, Mac and Leo. Search the premises to identify the missing girl. Here is a picture of what she looks like. If you find her, report to me at once", said a very lanky man with elf ears, to his 'bodyguards', in a serious tone. "Don't worry, we'll find her.", said the third guy I met there. He was the one with beautiful eyes and black, ruffled hair. His gaze was sympathetic and reassuring at the same time. I was desperately hoping to find my best friend in good condition. If anything were to happen to her, I would never.... NO. She will be okay. "You're so stupid, Harui...", I mumbled. "Xiumin, I want you to help as well", said the lanky man to the guy who was trying to comfort me. Xiumin simply nodded and rose from his seat, giving me a reassuring look. "Thank you... X-Xiumin", said I, but he shook his head with a subtle smile and said... "If there's anyone to thank, it's Chanyeol" as he pointed over to the lanky guy. "Moreover-"
"Hey y'all! Ready to have that barbecue party?", said a blonde beauty as she entered the villa with her hand locked with another lady with straight, long, brunette hair that flowed till her hips. As they entered inside and as I came into their view, their gleeful faces twisted into something I couldn't describe. Their expression was full of hate. They looked at me from head to toe and what was once just a frown, turned slowly into a mocking smirk.

"Oh, Chanyeol is helping out a homeless girl in the woods during our vacation AGAIN?", said the brunette in a way to make me feel degraded. Under normal circumstances I would've retorted, but considering my situation here and my dependance on them to look for Harui, I kept my mouth shut. "Oh no, Jiwoo. She's probably the new domestic help my brother hired", snickered blonde Krystal.
Just when I was on the verge of losing my temper, "Shut it, Krystal and Jiwoo. Can't you see that she's hurt?". Baekhyun's words surprised them both. Well, all of us, really. Jiwoo threw a dissatisfied glare my way and soon left the room, flipping her straight brunette mane. Krystal, on the other hand, spoke to Baekhyun in hushed tones. Baekhyun replied to her the same way and I occasionally felt her gaze on me, which made me stiff and uncomfortable. Perhaps they're talking about me... I thought.

Krystal approached me with a neutral expression and said," Oh, I'm sorry, I misjudged you based on your attire. I hope we find your friend. Surely we wouldn't want..." She continued with a glint of evil in her eyes... "... Something bad to happen to her, would we?" Though she said it in a menacing way, her face looked paler than her actual tone. Was she perhaps... scared of something?

Xiumin's POV

Chanyeol made his orders clear to everyone. He had already informed a few forest officials about the disappearance of Harui and received permission to help with the search mission as well. Baekhyun , Krystal and Jiwoo were asked to stay in the villa with Ally, just in case Ally was in an emergency situation or Harui stumbled upon their villa by chance.
