"there's no signal, I can't use google" I groaned.

"just turn right!" donghyuck whined pointing on the right direction but we, especially him, jolted when suddenly a lightning strikes on that way, "yeah, we should turn that way"

I rolled my eyes as I turned the wheels on our left and now we're moving again.

"this always happens when we're at this kind of situation" jaehyun chuckled as he rubbed his eyes.

"but I'm always trusting my guts that's why were always making it" I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

I hope this time too.

it started showering that made the road more difficult to see.

I yawned that probably caught jaehyun's attention saying, "Hey tae, wanna change seat?"

"oh no, y'all should rest. I'm not that tired" I said peeking at them on the rear mirror. A small smile appeared on my face seeing their 'i woke up like this' faces.

"I saw that tree three times! omo! we're lost! I swear!" Donghyuck gasped pointing at some random tree, panicking.

"Hyuck! can you just shut up? trees are identical" Jaemin said rolling his eyes, clinging on sleeping jeno's arm. "You might wake our hyungs up and if that happens I will kill you"

Jaemin trailed his fingers on his neck, as if he was slicing it which receive a, "b.tch you wanna fite?" from donghyuck.

"Ha! come here! I'm not scared, fite me" jaemin replied balling his fist so did donghyuck.

Donghyuck crawled and was about to grab jaemin's collar when our car suddenly stopped that caught my brother off guard which Jaemin took the opportunity to drag him down and strangle donghyuck.

We took a glance on them like 'it was always happening everyday' before minding the biggest problem, our car stopped.

"sh.t" I tried restarting the engine but nothing happens, it wasn't working. Yuta's car went ahead of us before pulling over.

I ran my fingers through my hair and slammed my free hand on the steering wheel. I saw him walking towards us I stepped down the car.

"What happened?" I heard Sicheng's voice asking with a yawn.

"There's no problem with the engine also with your tires" Yuta said in a confuse manner as he finished assessing our car, "Try restarting it again"

I did multiple times already but nothing happened until suddenly we saw a smoke coming from their car causing Yuta and Jaehyun to run towards it, hearing them cursing.

We all went out of the car, taking a good look at the commotion made by the other party. Jungwoo has his both hands in his head, not believing what's happening.

"What tf you guys just did?" Donghyuck asked, looking back and forth towards them and the car.

"We don't know! The engine suddenly released the smoke we have nothing to do with this I swear, man" Lucas explained making hand gestures.

Should I panic already?

I jolted when I heard the sound of air escaping the wheels from our car.

"Wtf, seriously? I thought they were fine?!"

Jaemin fake cried, "does this mean we stay here for tonight?"

"oh sh.t" jaehyun dropped the gallon of water for Yuta's with my hands on my forehead.

"what the hell?" Mark went out of the car with his tired eyes and unstable feet gaining our attention.

What Donghyuck and I saw earlier replayed on my head, "We shouldn't stay outside"

"but how can we fix it?" Asked Jungwoo.

"Tomorrow, we'll fix it tomorrow. just go inside" I said rushing them, "It isn't safe outside"

"Are we really going to stay here for tonight?" Sicheng asked which caused the three of us to nod.

"It's just maybe a wild animal doing" Yuta rubbed the back of his neck, "Let's stay here for tonight" he yawned.

"It's not like we have any other choice" Jeno pressed his lips into thin line following us entering our car.

We all took our seat with Jaemin groaning, "whyyyy are you here" he whined.

His seat was occupied by Donghyuck beside Jeno. Donghyuck's original seat was occupied by Jungwoo who immediately closed his eyes when Jaemin averted his eyes on him.

"He's already asleep. Jaemin, hyung is tired just seat on the vacant" Sicheng explained.

"vacant? you're asking me to sit beside this fat.ss?" He asked pointing towards my brother but still his attention on Sicheng.

Donghyuck rolled his eyes, grabbing jaemin's hand and forced him to sit with him. they throw daggers with each other, glaring before donghyuck turned to me saying, "But hyung, it's not that I'm scared to stay here but how about what we sa-" I cupped my brother's mouth before he'll expose us.

we shouldn't.

they might freak out and make the situation worse.

plus, we're not sure if we're just hallucinating.

"You're scared of the... goat we saw earlier?" I enlarged my eyes on him as a warning. Secretary pinching his waist, he winced while nodding as he get my message.

"Psh, goat can't harm you idiot, me can" Jaemin once again said, showing his fist on my brother.

Donghyuck gritted his teeth, looking at the said guy who was now focus on his phone, not minding the jealous Donghyuck.

I saw Jaehyun on my peripheral vision giggling while shaking his head whilst Winwin was trying to find a signal.

It's not like a fight-fight, it's a childish fight that's going on between the two, they never agree with each other and always mock one another but I assure you they love being together.

I looked at my wrist watch that was flashing the numbers 6:38 pm. this will be a long ass night.

Hour passed, all of them went back to sleep. I turned the lights on so when a hiker or camper passes by, they'll notice us and might as well help us.

but I doubt it cause it's raining, why would you hike or camp on this kind of weather? we're hopeless.

I leaned my head on the steering wheel as I was trying to sleep too when I heard a knock on the window beside me.

There's a tall black figure standing outside the car. At first, I thought it was just Lucas but saw them through my car's windshield on their car strangling each other.

what should I do?
