"Oooh..." Chenle holds the salamander up by its tail, the little creature writhing and wriggling within his hold. "Stay still little guy and you won't get hurt." He smiles, gently poking the salamander with a tiny stick. "You look weird...Maybe you got affected by the end of the world..." He hums to himself, putting the salamander back down. "Better run before I catch you again. And this time I won't let you go." He chuckles to himself and stands, stretching a little bit.

"Now..." He turns a full circle, observing the forest around him. "Where did my bag go..." He turns to the left, retracing his steps until he finds his little makeshift camp. In all honesty, it was just his bag, a large rock he found and now uses as a stool, and a campfire that has since been put out. "Aish where the fuck is my 10-inch blade?" Chenle digs through his bag, hands grazing over the multiple knives and a couple of guns that it held.

Yeah...Chenle was that kid.

"Aha!" He smiles in triumph as he holds up his favorite blade. "A ten-inch fixed hunting blade, perfect for cutting through flesh." He holsters it onto his belt, keeping it secure next to his sword. He continues to fish through his bag, pulling out his array of weapons, and the occasional can of food. As little as he ate, Chenle was a master at survival. It's been almost two months on his own and he's been doing fine even with his low food supply.

Chenle was that kind of person whos insanity kept him alive most of the time.

"I feel like you guys are setting me up." Jeno glares at the other three, who just smile back at him.

"Get on with it strong boy!" Jaemin shouts before turning away back to his little medical set-up. 

"I hate you all I swear..."

"Go find the fucking spring Lee Jeno." Mark's harsh voice makes the black-haired boy stop talking and start walking. He really didn't want to get on Mark's bad side. Or any of their bad sides for that matter. Jeno had seen Donghyuk annoyed at Mark a few times, but it wasn't too extreme, as long as you didn't mess with his food. Jaemin, on the other hand, seemed like the kinda guy that doesn't get angry easily, but when he does, it isn't pretty. And Jeno did not want to test his theory out.

It's only been about 2 weeks since they had found Donghyuk, and as annoying and bratty as the kid was, he knew how to fucking c o o k. Which was great for the other three, because they now knew that they wouldn't starve. 

"Aish, making me go find the stupid spring again. I wasn't even the one who found it in the first place! It was Jaemin-ah." He glares down at the grass under his feet, kicking it around to create a tiny path behind him. "But Jaemin needs to finish setting up his medical equipment. Why did we even decide to set up camp in the woods anyway? That's stupid." He sighs, turning towards the sound of bubbling water. "All of this is stupid."

Eventually, after a few minutes, Jeno comes to the spring. The crystal clear water bubbling along towards a stream, the pool empty of fish and debris. It was a little pool of heaven, the water sparkling as it shifted and rippled under the canopy shadows. Jeno squats on the water bank, the sound of the running water calming him a bit. He was always known to have bad anger issues, and ever since he was a kid, the only thing that could calm him down was the sound of running water and crashing waves.

Jeno stops running his hand through the water when he hears the sound of whistling around him. Not birds...not any animal that Jeno knew actually. And it didn't sound like Mark...

"Hello?"

The whistling stops and Jeno freezes.

"Uhm...Hello? Anyone there?" He slowly stands, turning to look behind him, only to scream bloody murder at the side of a green-haired gremlin who was looking at him with frog eyes. "OH MY FUCK!"

The kid smiles normally enough, but the glint in his eye didn't make Jeno feel at ease at all. "A human."

"I- a what?"

"A human." The boy repeats. "I've found another human out here." The kid stands up straight, making Jeno realize the weirdo was leaning over him, which was strange considering how short he was.

"Holy fuck-"

"Jeno!?" The sound of Mark makes the two boys' stop, both turning to where Mark, Jaemin, and Donghyuk all come into the clearing. "We heard screaming, what happened- oh..." His eyes land on the green-haired boy, who just looks at him blankly.

"Dang." The kid turns back to Jeno. "These are your friends?"

Jeno, still in too much shock to speak clearly, just nods. "M-mhm..."

The boy smiles brightly, his eyes burning with fire in the sunlight. His whole body just said 'insane'. "I see....I'm Zhong Chenle, your friendly neighborhood psychopath."
