where there is no hope left, when there really is no way to find hope, madness may begin.

"no, no, no, follow me - this way, this way!"

soyeon opens the door of the shack they just found. everyone enters as fast as possible, then soyeon gets in herself. yuqi and soojin close the door behind her, leaning their bodies against it, they hold it.

"this! we can use this!" minnie says, showing the three trunks stacked against the wall.

"right, push 'em here!" yuqi shouts as she tries her best to keep the door closed.

minnie and soyeon try to push the trunks with all their might, "it's too heavy!" soyeon screams and she unwittingly looks at shuhua.

meanwhile, that really ghoulish noises and voices coming from outside scare shuhua to death, and she ducks down. then soyeon takes a look at miyeon who is in shock, just standing there with a blank face, not knowing what to do.

"it's trying the door!" yuqi shouts.

"you gotta help us, hurry up!" says soojin to shuhua.

shuhua shakes her head, "nah, this isn't real. this is not happening."

soyeon, then, comes up to shuhua, squats down in front of her, "shuhua-ya," and holds her hands, kissing them gently, "you need to calm down. focus on your breathing, hm?"

"we have no time for this!"

"shut up!" shouts minnie against yuqi's words.

shuhua starts to hyperventilate. soyeon holds her face, "just take nice, slow breaths, all right?"

shuhua listens her and starts breathing deeply and slowly through her nose till she settles down.

"okay, i'm okay."

then she stands up, and in all force she helps soyeon and minnie. they finally manage to put that heavy trunks on the door. but it keeps trying the door. soojin steps back a little further with shuhua and wraps her arms around her tightly while minnie rushes over to miyeon and sits her down.

"miyeon, look at me, look at my face... we're gonna be okay." says minnie but gets no reaction.

when a part of the shack begins to crumble, they begin to lose hope, their survival instincts.

"this looks bad," yuqi's voice is trembling, "if we stay here longer, we die. and if we go outside... we die."

"now, basically, we're already dead." adds soojin.

"what do we do now, huh?"

yuqi waits for an answer from soyeon. but soyeon stares into the space, not saying a word. she's thinking hard, they are backed into a corner and desperate. but soyeon can't remember how they ended up in here and what they were doing before this. what exactly are those outside? she ain't know nothing, and everything is much more scary for her as she has nothing but a gun on her hip. she quickly looks around to see if there's familiar things to help her remember something. she sees an old poster but can't read what it says. and there's a clock on the wall, but she can't see what it shows. with no hope, she pulls out the gun and checks if it's loaded. she feels like she knows well how to use it even though she doesn't remember if she ever used it.

"soyeon, soyeon... what are you up to?" asks minnie.

"there's only five bullets in it."

"what are you trying to say?" yuqi asks, but deep down, she knows what it means.
