lvl 42: shelves

Hana's POV

I try to focus my eyes on something so I could control my massive headache and my blurry vision. I breathe slowly and deeply and try to focus my hearing on my breath. I hear more shots fired and then suddenly, the numbing pain across my whole body washes away.

I slowly get up, feeling a little dizzy. I look to my side and see Sungjin, still wrapped in rope with a bag over his head. I remove the bag and focus on getting him out. I rip the rope off him and he stands and stretches. He looks at me and puts his hands on my shoulders.

"Are you okay?" I watch him say but process it in slow motion. I couldn't respond and notice the chaos around us. Sungjin immediately starts fighting a guard who was sneaking up to attack me.

Suddenly, I regained my hearing and could clearly hear the gunshot and grunts surrounding me. My blurry vision fades away and I could see the people around me without feeling a pounding sensation in my head. I look around and see Woojin being choked by a guard. I pull him off and immediately start beating him. After finishing him, I help Woojin up and see Young K shooting some of the guards.

"Why are you guys here? How did you know where to find us?" I ask him.

"Yeji read your journal and Hyunjin sensed that you were here," Woojin explains. I feel my heart skip a beat and my feet become lighter once he says Hyunjin's name.

"Hyunjin, is he okay?" I ask.

"He's weak. We need you to get to him," Woojin says. I nod and he covers me and helps me and Sungjin escape the room.

We make it out into the hallway and I see Yeji and Felix on the floor with their backs pressed against the wall. They look weak. I kneel down and look at them.

"What happened to you two?" I ask.

"There's no time to explain. We have to get out of here," Young K rushes us. I nod and help Yeji up. Sungjin grabs Felix's arm and helps him up off the ground.

"What about the rest of them?" Woojin says.

"The rest of them? Who?" Sungjin asks.

"Jisung, Changbin, and Sana are here," Woojin answers.

"Sana?" I ask. "Where are they?"

"We don't know. We separated from them once we got inside," Young K says.

"I have to go find them," I say.

"No, you can't," Woojin insists. "We came here to get you, if you stay, you might stay here longer than you have to."

"You're weak, Hana," Young K says. "I'll go find them."

"Are you sure?" Woojin asks Young K.

"I'll be out with them. I promise."

We make it out of the sanctuary and notice the other guards getting into vans and try to hurry so we won't be caught. We make it to the bushes where Wonpil and Hyunjin are and I see them both on the ground with their eyes closed. I fall onto the gently caress Hyunjin's face. I put my head close to his face to hear his breathing and see that his chest is still rising.

"They're alive," I say and then I shake Hyunjin gently. He slowly opens his eyes and then smiles once he sees me. His eyes grow wide and he wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer to him. I smile and begin to tear up as I'm in his arms.

"It's okay," I whisper in his ear and continue to comb my fingers through his hair. I feel my heart lift and my body begins to float as if I'm flying. Even though I'm in his arms, I feel like I'm floating through the sky as I feel his breath on mine.

"Okay, lovebirds, I know this is like an important cute moment like in those movies but we have to go before we get killed by JYP's henchmen," Felix interrupts our moment and we both nod and get up from the ground. We start running away from the building and toward the cabin that Sungjin's group is staying at.

[it's not hard for me, in this rough jungle

it was me who ran into it, i'm okay]

Young K's POV

As chaos surrounds me and gunshots are fired, I find myself out of the smoke and come across an empty room. I look around me as I grow further away from the battle sounds. I hear footsteps and people yelling in my direction. I run into the nearest room I find and close the door behind me. It is pitch-black. I take out the flashlight I have in my back pocket and turn it on to regain my sight. I point the flashlight around the room and realize that I am in a storage closet.

I begin walking through the room and notice that there are a series of binders on each self. I shine the light on a few spines of binders and see that each has a name. The binders are arranged in alphabetical order. I start to stroll through each aisle as if I am looking for a novel in a library. The first name that catches my eye is Lee Felix. I tilt my head and pause as I stare at the name on the spine of the binder. I look around the room and try to listen for any sign of nearby guards. I take the binder from the shelf and place it on a table.

I open the binder and see that it is a profile on Felix. I read closer as my eyes grew wide in surprise.

Lee Felix: a special kid who is cold and strong

Status: alive and immune

-has the same blood as Hana and Yeji

-Potential part of the Final Four

-Unknown if bitten

"Final Four?" I ask myself and then shake my head as I try and think.

They know that Hana was immune as well then if he had the same blood as her. I stare at Yeji's name on the paper and start to feel protective over her. She's in danger too. Is she immune as well? I put the binder back in its place and then browse the shelves for Yeji's name. I find her name and take the binder from the shelf as well as Hyunjin's since they are right next to each other.

Hwang Yeji: young girl who is quiet and innocent; sister of Hyunjin

Status: alive and immune

-has the same blood as Hana and Felix

-Potential part of the Final Four

-Has not been bitten yet

Hwang Hyunjin: boy who is quiet and cold; brother of Yeji; seems to have a relationship with Hana

Status: alive

-not immune although related to Yeji who is immortal

"Hyunjin was never immune, to begin with. It was only until Hana transferred her blood to him that he became immune," I realize and then close the binders. "I have to find the others and get them out of here."
