"We're lost, aren't we?"
"We're not lost, I'm just trying to figure out what direction to go."
"We're lost."
The afternoon sun was unwavering, glaring down at them harshly. The map was complicated, but they more or less pinpointed the direction of the military base. (That's what Taehyun said, but honestly, it was more 'less'.)
"How are we gonna find Yeji again?" Yuna asked as she swiped sweat off her forehead, "And how are we going to convince her to come with us?"
"I told you, she'll come," Yeonjun seethed.
"Why are you angry at me?" Yuna hissed.
Yeonjun scowled at her, "I swear, if you ask another stupid question I will-"
"Yeonjun," Taehyun said quickly, swiftly snapping Yeonjun out of his anger.
Yeonjun flicked his eyes away and a squirrel dropped down, dead, eliciting a yelp from Yuna.
The older walked ahead quickly.
"He's just...upset. He'll be fine soon," Jisu assured Yuna.

Night fell once more, and they decided to retreat back to that warehouse.
"Why should we come back here?" Yuna asked, "They already found this place."
Taehyun sighed, "Firstly, it's the only shelter we have and secondly, they wouldn't come back here, thinking that we wouldn't come back here. I hope."
Once everyone was asleep, Taehyun studied both maps by the light of his tiny flame, marking out where to go and calculating the distance and time. He exhaled softly, looking at the seven others around him. He was so close, he had gotten everyone and then it all fell apart. When he got to the sanctuary he was going to take a two-day long nap, more if he could. His little fire flickered and crackled, but he wished he could create more than just a simple candle flame. Then the flame went out, leaving Taehyun in the darkness.
