He is The Boss || Markrong

Chapter 25 || He is the Boss

Chorong

Mark looked at me then extended his arm towards me. I grabbed it, then took off the sand on my pants.We both run towards Hyunjin, who was left at the seashore. He was surprised to see us both, even though he knew he left me earlier."What happened?" We asked in unison. Hyunjin didn't reply and run after Hayoung.

Mark went after Hyunjin, leaving me behind. I also run, catching up with them. Did Hayoung just went into the woods without any light? I thought about Hayoung's situation and started to be more serious. My breathing became faster in keeping up with them."Wa..it.." I barely even said it.

I stopped, catching my breath. I soon realized that I am lost with only Mark's coat. I looked around to find any sight of light, no hope."Mark!" I shouted then let out a deep breath. I should try to find Hayoung."I am okay, Hayoung is more important." I mumbled.

My vision started to adjust to the darkness, and then walked to the path I remembered."Hayoung, where are you?" I shouted with my high pitch voice. No use. I grabbed a small stick, lying on the ground. This will protect me I guess? I continued walking until I saw a silhouette before me.

I was about to approach it but I stepped on a fallen branch. It made a sound that made it run away, I run after it hoping it was someone I know."Wai-" I cut off when Mark's coat got stuck on a tree. I pulled it but it won't come off. She/He will get away."I'll come back for you." I said.

The silhouette was standing on a certain place again. I approached it and as I came closer, I noticed she was a girl from her back."Hayoung?" I asked. She quickly turned around then hugged me as tight as she can."Are you okay?" I asked in relief.

"Chorong! I was so scared."Bomi shouted. I immediately felt anger when I saw her face. She pushed me away and started hugging herself to let herself warm."We need to go back. Let's go ,lead the way." She told me and then walked but stopped when she noticed I wasn't moving.

I asked."Why are you here?"

Bomi stopped,"Do you have time to ask questions when we are here in the forest with nothing?" She asked, there was a hint of anger in her voice. I stood there like I wasn't going to budge."Okay, I was with Mark. I came with him. So what?" She said.

"You were?" I asked. Of course, Mark can do what he wants. I sighed, glancing back to where I left the coat. Bomi nodded then showed a smirk,"He told me that I might need some air from work. So, here I am." She stated, like I would believe her.

 Before I could say anything, a light was seen from afar. Bomi looked at the light and then looked at me."He-" I was cut off when she pushed me.I groaned in pain."What?" I asked myself as I stood up to only find Bomi talking to someone behind that light. I shouted, no response. I shouted again but failed when I tripped on a root of a tree."I hope she rot." I mumbled in anger. 

I moved my ankle and felt a sharp pain."Let's stay here and hope that someone will find me." I said to myself, trying to be positive in this situation. If I scream right now, there might be creatures waiting for a prey out there. 

Staring at the sky while massaging my ankle, I thought about what else I could do with my life. It's not like I am going today, right? I shook my head. I stood up, using the tree as a support."If no one is going to save me, I'll try to save myself... It's getting pretty cold, too." I muttered.

"I was looking for you." somebody said, making me scream. I sighed as soon as I realized who it is. Mark showed me his back as he kneel but I didn't move." Get on." He told me which I did. I wrapped my arm around his neck and let his arm carry my legs.

At some point, I wanted to cry because I saw him or somebody came back for me? I buried my face on his back and," I am sorry." I mumbled. He probably didn't hear it or did he? "I lost your coat." I said in an audible voice then realized that he didn't have any flashlight with himself.

"I am rich, I could buy another one." He told me as he started walking. I smiled, leaning my head on his shoulder. Did he perhaps left the flashlight? I asked him about it but he didn't respond. Mark is probably cold, I thought."You were with Bomi?" He asked. 

I nodded."Why did you ask?"I asked him. 

Mark stopped."Was she the cause of what happened to your ankle?" He asked me. I nodded in response. He started walking and surprisingly I already saw the cabin. It was actually nearer than I thought. I saw Bomi, standing with a flashlight. 

She looked surprised that I was with him. We walked past her, I could feel the tension between Mark and her." Chorong, I am so sorry." I heard Bomi say. She followed after us with the flashlight. I don't know if I should talk to her or not.

"Hayoung and Hyunjin are already inside. We are staying here for the night." Mark said while walking towards the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw Hayoung sleeping with her head resting on Hyunjin's lap. Mark put me down on a bed in a room."Sleep, have a rest." He told me."I'll treat your ankle with the help of Bomi."

"How did Bomi came here?"I asked.

"It's pretty late and you know that you'll be having your job back, tomorrow."

I watched Mark left the room, leaving my question unanswered. My sprained foot is lying on a pillow which I just realized. Mom will get mad at me for sure. I was about to close my eyes when I heard the door opened."Hey."Bomi said.
