"She twisted her ankle too?" Jimin asked in disbelief. Harlow nodded guiltily. How could she get away in such a short period of time?

We all stood there in silence for a few moments, thinking deeply about our situation and letting the sound of the strong crashing waves flow into our ears. It felt strangely calm although I bet everyone's mind was chaotically panicking like mine.

"Hoseok's right, let's go find Taehyung and Jungkook first before thinking about the entire situation anxiously. Instead, let's solve the first thing, which is finding the two crackheads. We don't have time to waste." Yoongi exhaled deeply, looking back at us from facing the sea for so long.

"Min Yoongi, the genius like always," Jin chuckled softly as we all walk toward the woods in silence, watching our steps as our feet sink into the sand.

"Can I ask a question?" I blurted out of the blue, causing everyone to turn around sharply at me possibly due to the sudden damage of the silence.

"You just asked a question." Harlow smirked devilishly before she turned back to facing the woods. I shot her an annoyed expression before continuing.

"Why are you all so calm?" I breathe, facing back to the sand while watching my steps. "You guys do realise we just missed our way back home, right? I mean, it's unlike you guys to be quiet. Usually you guys are bickering over the smallest things— like spilt coffee." I chuckled as I glanced up while anticipating their answers.

"I don't know, maybe it's like the four stages of grief?" Jimin pauses for a moment before turning to catch a short glimpse of my reaction. Gosh, I don't know why I'm thinking about this but his brown tourmaline eyes are so pretty.

Yoongi sighed with a hint of annoyance in his tone. "It's five, Jimin. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. I'm guessing you're talking about how you're in the first stage, denial."

"No one asked for you to recite things you learned in school to sound smart, Yoongi." Jimin rolled his eyes before turning to me. "I still just can't believe we're.. stranded here." He sighed exasperatedly before saying the last words.

Harlow nods in agreement. "I'm hoping this is all a bad nightmare, but considering how much goosebumps I'm getting as we walk closer to the woods, it's less likely."

The silence returns subtly after the words were spoken, only sounds of the waves churning behind us were heard. However, the peaceful yet awkward silence didn't last long, because Namjoon suddenly exclaimed.

"Do you guys see that?" He stops in his tracks, pointing at something far in the woods.

"Hm?" Hoseok scooted toward Namjoon, trying to figure out exactly where his finger was directing. "No,"

"I do," Jimin scurries closer to the woods, leaving us standing there in prolepsis.
"It looks like... a person. I think they're saying something!" He ran off, officially ditching us. Okay, wow Jimin.

We all run after him, slowly realising the voice calling out for Yeontan.
"Do you think it's Taehyung or Jimin?" I question in suspense and turn to glimpse at Harlow— only to realise she was dragging herself in the sand far behind me.

"It sounds like a feminine voice though," Harlow mumbled, throwing herself over my shoulders. "I'm really tired."

"PLEASE, don't fall asleep because I can't manage your weight! Harlow!" I exclaimed, shoving her off my shoulders as I tried to catch up with Jimin in the front.

Shortly after passing the woods, with the sudden cold waft of air inundating me, I realised Harlow was right. It was a girl's voice.

"GUYS!" The girl runs toward us, tripping over a few roots of the tall trees and crashing into Namjoon. It was Min Seo as expected. Not surprised of her same old "grand" entrance.

"Okay, I swear that wasn't intentional Joonie." I noticed what a mess she was as she stood up and gained her balance. Her hair was extremely messy and she was carrying her heels in her left hand.

"Where WERE you?" Harlow was suddenly not tired and was jabbing her finger aggressively at her while clinging onto my shoulder for balance.

"I lost Yeontan!" Min Seo wailed. Oh my gosh. Her shrill voice is making my eardrums bleed, I just have is disturbing urge to bang my head on a wall. Please, someone shut her up.

"You what?" Yoongi shoves his way through, staring back at her intensely.

"I twisted my ankle and dropped Yeontan, who ran off in the thick fog and I couldn't see. But I still went after Yeontan despite my injury because I just really care about Taehyung and what he might feel when he finds out I was responsible for it. I'm so sorry."

Her pitiful tone makes me want to die, Lord give me strength.

"That's sweet of you, but be careful. Before we try to find them we should treat your wound first," Jin held onto her for her support as she annoyingly gave me this big fat smirk.

"What about the ship?" Her voice was still smothered in innocence, making me want to gag.
"It left, we were too slow." Jimin sighs, combing through his hair with his fingers.

"So you guys came back looking for me? How sweet!"
Please. Please just shut up chopstick.

"Uh, kind of. So to save time, maybe Jin could stay here with Min Seo to treat her ankle and the rest of us can go search for Yeontan, Taehyung and Jungkook." Hoseok propounded.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Yoongi had a bit of relief drizzled in his tone strangely. "We should also split up and search in pairs, it's way faster."

I instantly glance over to Harlow, signalling we should partner together. But she mouthed the word no with a devilish smirk? What is this child planning...
