Minutes had passed after they start walking the trail down the mountain, drops of rain starts to pour. Not even single one did bring umbrella, since they thought that the weather is going to be fine.
The tracks starts to get slippery and muddy, so they slowed down their walk. "Please be careful.. The tracks are starting to get slippery.. I advise that you hold tight to your partners, okay?" Renjun advised.
Chenle quickly took Guanlin's hand and the latter holds him tight. After a few moments, the sky starts to get really dark, with a flashing of lights caused by a thunder. Suddenly, a thunder sounded really loud, making Chenle scared.
"Guanie.. I'm scared.." he holds Guanlin's hand really tight. He looks to his boyfriend and noticed that he is shaking too. "I'm also a little bit scared, Lele.."
Right there and then, a strong rain starts to fall, making it hard to see the trail, with a zero visibility vision. They didn't noticed that they all went on separate ways. "Guys! Are you still there?" Mark yelled, holding Haechan tight.
Jaemin and Jeno also went to a separate way, not noticing it. "Hold tight to me, Nana.." Jeno assured him. Jaemin nods and holds very tight to Jeno's arms.
Jisung and Renjun also had the same situation. They are having a hard time to locate where they was. "Are you alright, hyung?" Jisung asked. Renjun nods then yelled. "Everyone! Are you still there?!"
He got no response and can't hear properly because of the heavy rain with strong winds. Meanwhile, Chenle still held tight to Guanlin, walking slowly.
"Where are we, Guanie?" the shorter asked, shivering a little due to the cold. "No idea, Lele.. Just keep walking.." Suddenly, a lightning strucked a big tree near them, making them both suprised.
Guanlin pulled away from Chenle's hand and starts to run and yell. "I'm scared! AAAHHHHH!" Chenle quickly followed Guanlin, running. "Wait for me, Guanie!" But he couldn't see where Guanlin ran to.
He just runs nonstop when he slipped on a muddy part and landing his knees on a stony part of the forest. "Oouucch!" he tried to stood up but felt a sharp pain on his right knee.
He saw that there's a big wound on it, caused by the slip. "Ouuuuchh.." he cried. The rain is not stopping, he saw a empty space under a big tree and took shelter on it, crawling over there slowly.
He was scared and cold. "I'm scared.." he starts to cry.
Guanlin is still running, ignoring the fact that he left Chenle and ran for his life. He keeps on running and saw a light down the trees. It was the staff house at the foot of the mountain.
Staffs turned on all of the lights of the cabin so they can easily be seen. He run towards that direction and felt thankful when he realized he was already safe.
Mark and Haechan are soon to follow, then, Jaemin and Jeno came next. After a few minutes, Jisung and Renjun arrived, panting. The staffs quickly handed them dry towels.
"Good thing you've turned on all of the lights.." Jeno said to the camp coordinator. "It was our protocol in case of times like this.."
Renjun starts to count all of them when he noticed that one is missing. "Wait a second.. Where's Chenle?" That's when Guanlin's face became pale. They all looked at Guanlin.
"Shit! I lost Chenle at the woods! When the lightning strucked the tree, we've both lost each other and I started to run.." he replied.
"YOU LEFT CHENLE AT THE WOODS?!" Haechan looks at him. "I didn't mean to.." They informed the camp coordinator and they contacted for a search and rescue team.
"Go rescue your boyfriend there, Guanlin.." Mark said. "We should let the rescue team to do their job.." "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Jisung buts in, punching him on the face, making him fell down. "YOU LEFT CHENLE THERE!"
Jisung imagined how scared Chenle is, he knew that the smaller is easily scared of lightnings, dark, and everything a little child should be scared of.
He quickly grabs the flashlight from a staff and starts to run towards the mountain. "Jisung! Where are you going?!" Renjun yelled. The taller looked back at them. "I'll find Chenle!" Then runs off really fast.
"I'm coming for you, Lele.." he muttered while running towards the forest.
