❝Memories are like a big garage like the ocean,
I am lost in them all day.
Even this loneliness that I'm feeling,
Are traces of you.
So I force my eyes shut and am enduring through this day.❞

It was about an hour away from dawn.

Eunbyul was sitting alone on a log next to the fireplace, about a hundred meters away from her tent.

She obviously couldn't sleep, being close to Mihae and with all the chaos inside her mind.

She sat there, looking to the East, waiting for the sun to rise.

"You okay?"

Eunbyul froze. She turned to see a yawning Soonyoung. He looked adorable with his fluffy untouched hair, was what she thought.

She nodded, pouting a little.

"Jihoon told me about it," he sat next to her while ruffling his hair, turning toward the West.

Was Eunbyul shocked? Of course she was, she even felt betrayed. Furrowing her eyebrows, she looked at Soonyoung. He only laughed in response.

"Nah, I won't tell anyone. I forced Jihoon to tell me what's going on. He was pacing back and forth last night, I shared the same tent with him so with his walking around like that, I obviously couldn't sleep," he smiled at her.

Still, Eunbyul felt uneasy. She had a bad feeling, but she hoped dearly that she was wrong. Now, she wanted nothing else than peace.

Then, Soonyoung spoke up out of the blue, "You're really pretty you know."

With wide eyes, Eunbyul blushed looking at Soonyoung as he smiled, a foolish little smile.

"I guess that's why I fell so hard for you," he kept staring at the tall trees, ignoring the fact that Eunbyul was beyond shocked at his words.

Right then, the sun rose.

It shone its bright light on to the two of them, things were beautiful.

Soonyoung glanced at the girl who was in awe of the view, he smiled to himself, hoping to keep her to himself. But he knew he couldn't. Because of that thought, he sighed and stood up.

"Come on, let's go wake the others up," he held out his hand.

As Eunbyul looked up, she felt as if she already went through the same process. It was like Deja vu.

She held on to his hand and stood up before following him to the other tents.

ווווו×

They first woke up Mihae and the two other girls, whose hair somehow remained pretty and neat. Next, they went to wake up the boys.

Weirdly, on the way to Mingyu and Jeonghan's tent, Eunbyul felt something wasn't right. Her mind had its own mind, telling her to worry. Her hands started to shake, her heart rate became faster, her lips shivered.

As they went inside the two boy's tent, Eunbyul's premonitions were correct.

Mingyu...

wasn't there.

"Jeonghan, where's Mingyu?" Seungcheol asked the boy who was scratching his head as he had just woke up.

"Huh? That's weird, he slept after me so he couldn't have wakened up this early," Jeonghan yawned, he wasn't even a little concerned.

Eunbyul's heart stopped.

Her eyes widen as a tear rolled down.

"Byulie?? What's wrong?? Why are you crying???" Hyerim saw her, her question made everyone face Eunbyul.

Jihoon and Soonyoung immediately understood. They glanced at each other, confusion taking over. Mihae noticed their weird behavior, she then asked, "You two know something's up, don't you?"

By then, Eunbyul broke down in tears. She shook her head rapidly. Everyone became worried.

"Byul, tell me what's wrong, please!" Hyerim couldn't bare looking at someone who was like her little sister cry so much like that.

"Jihoon! Soonyoung! Say something!" Yeonha shouted irritatedly.

The two boys sighed.

"Eunbyul, I'm sorry but I have to tell them-" Jihoon was cut off. Eunbyul weakly kneeled beside him, with hands closed and her head was shaking. She was begging him.

"What's wrong with you Byulie! Please don't be like this!" Yeonha held on to Eunbyul's arm, trying to get her up. But it was no use.

"Eunbyul, what's wrong? Tell us before it's too late!" Joshua shook Eunbyul, his eyes filled with sadness watching her like that.

"I'm sorry, but if we don't tell them, who knows what will happen to Mingyu!" Soonyoung said, biting his lips, trying to hold back his tears, "Even if you hate us after this..."

The two boys started to explain everything. Shock. That was the only expression everyone had on their faces. Especially Mihae, she was speechless.

Eunbyul kept pleading them to stop, holding on to the hem of Soonyoung's shirt, she was so afraid.

When everything was clear, Mihae kneeled down beside Eunbyul, hugging her as tight as she could, tears were starting to roll down her chin.

"Byulie, w-why... You could have j-just..." Mihae shivered.

Everyone felt scared as well.

"We have to go save Mingyu!" Mihae shouted loudly, her voice cracking up.

"But your secret Mihae! You might get kicked out of school-" Yeonha was unable to continue as Mihae's cracked up voice.

"Then be it! It doesn't matter anymore. I can still support you guys on your paths! I don't care! I have to save Mingyu because I..." She paused.

But with a smile, she continued as tears streamed down her rosy cheeks.

"Because I love him."

They were all shocked. Eunbyul heard so, her head shot up. She stared at Mihae. The girl smiled sweetly and nodded.

"Then let's go find him," Seungcheol said with a stern voice.

They split up into three groups, with Soonyoung and Wonwoo followed by the girls.

ווווו×

In a dark part of the woods, Mingyu was unconscious and his hands were tied to the tree.

His head shot a sharp pain as he slowly opened his eyes.

A raspy female voice called his name.

"Who the fuck- Yah! Let me go!" Mingyu squirmed around trying to free himself.

"Baby, don't you love me?" The raspy voice from before turned into a more seductive one. Yu Taemi walked towards Mingyu, smirking as her plan was a beautiful success.

"No! Get the fuck away from me!" Mingyu tried kicking her away, but still, she stood there laughing.

Before long, she sat on Mingyu's lap, trying to seduce him.

"Aw, my little Mingyu is panicking, how cute. Just a little while baby, it'll become pure pleasure," she smirked and started kissing his lips.

There goes his first kiss.

"S-Stay away!" He shouted on the top of his lungs.

"Stop resisting. You're going to love it!" Taemi laughed devilishly.

"What do you want?! What is your plan in all this?!" Mingyu furrowed his brows, he hated it so much.

Taemi stood up and wiped her mouth, staring into Mingyu's eyes, "Long story short, I'm going to make myself pregnant with your baby, Ming Ming~ You can't decline me then~"

(Even author nim is disgusted, but this actually happened in real life once, I read an article on the internet. I forgot where tho, sorry.)

"YOU ARE CRAZY!" Mingyu was quite scared by then. He used his long legs trying to kick her. But she dodged easily.

With the devilish laugh of hers, she continued her mad scheme, "I'm crazy for you, baby~"

Suddenly, a loud scream echoed through Taemi's ear. Before she could react, a hand was gripping on her arm, probably leaving nail marks.

Taemi screamed in pain as this mysterious person threw her away, making her head hit on a tree log.

It was Mihae.

Eunbyul and the others came running towards Mingyu, freeing him. They let him rest, sitting under a tree.

Out of nowhere, Hwayeon and Yeeun walked towards the group, eyes burning with flames, "LEE EUNBYUL YOU BITCH! DIDN'T WE ALREADY TOLD YOU NEVER TO TELL THEM?!"

Hwayeon was ready to slap Eunbyul, but just in the nick of time, Chan held her wrist tightly, his tone of voice wasn't as sweet as always, "No one hurts Eunbyul Noona, not even you, you old pig."

The girl was obviously hurt to be called an old pig by her crush.

Yeeun all of a sudden took out a whistle and blew on it.

Out of the bushes, stood 5 other male students. They were definitely the Baker's slaves or something like that. They were about 6 foot tall.

But 5 vs 13.

They don't stand a chance.

One of the guys grabbed Chan's neck from behind, lifting him up into the air.

To everyone's surprise, Eunbyul kicked the guy right on his weak spot, a spot where all guys are knocked down once hit on.

He groaned in pain as he released Chan.

"Nice move Byul!" Yeonha patted the girl's shoulder and smirking at the weakening dude, "Serves him right-"

She was unable to finish her sentence when Hwayeon squeezed her neck from behind, "Shut the fuck up!"

Eunbyul was about to defend Yeonha when she was picked up by the collar. The guy laughed at her before slapping her harshly.

The other three guys came attacking

One grabbed Jihoon by his collar, the rude boy spat into Jihoon's face, "Haha, how are you so popular when you're like an inch tall?"

And Jihoon flipped... as in actually flipped the guy down to the ground.

"Tch, such an ass," Jihoon muttered angrily.

On another part of the forest, Soonyoung high-kicked a guy in the face, as expected from a black belt.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a group of six more guys came running towards the boys.

One raised his arm, ready to punch Hyerim from behind when Seungcheol punched the guy in his stomach. Hyerim was startled at the sudden action, but then realize it was just Seungcheol, she smiled and mouthed him a thank you. Seungcheol felt his heart skip a beat when...

"Seungcheol hyung! Watch out!"

The boy who was still flustered by Hyerim's smile shook his head after hearing Wonwoo's shout. Before a guy could get to him, Yeonha appeared with a large rope in her hands, she used it to choke the guy.

Yeonha dusted her hands while shaking her head at Seungcheol, "Geez, I know my sister's pretty but we're under attack here!"

"Aish shut up!" Seungcheol smacked Yeonha's head lightly before running towards Soonyoung and Jeonghan to give them a hand.

Unfortunately for them, Taemi woke up without anyone noticing. She held up a knife and ran towards where Mingyu was sitting.

"STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR HE'LL BE GONE!" She leaned the knife closely to Mingyu's neck.

She yelled loudly, gaining everyone's attention. All eyes were on her, and so the bad guys arm locked them up.

"Get away from him!" Mihae thrashed crazily trying to get out of the guy's grip.

A smirk plastered on the female devil's face, "Wouldn't want him to be the second person you killed, would you Park Mihae?"

Everyone gasped at that. The girls tried so hard to stop Taemi from telling Mihae's secret, but it was no use.

Eunbyul started crying again, but this time, tears were based on anger.

Taemi laughed at them, putting the knife closer to Mingyu's neck. The sharp metal started to hurt him.

"Having an abortion at such a young age, 16, am I right?"

Mihae burst into tears as her legs became weak. Her voice was shaking, her tears overflowing down to her chin as her secret was heard by everyone.

Eunbyul had enough of Taemin.

The weak girl thrashed harshly and kicked the guy holding her down in the stomach. Surprised by the sudden attack, the guy let go of Eunbyul.

Without hesitation, she ran towards Taemi.

"EUNBYUL STOP!" Hyerim yelled loudly, all eyes were on Eunbyul.

Yu Taemi was dumbfounded, but then soon realized Eunbyul was going to stop her, she swung the knife towards Eunbyul. But luckily, it only cut her arm and not her face.

The bleeding was terrible, but Eunbyul couldn't think straight and grabbed onto Taemi's arms. The two girls wrestled madly. Then, Eunbyul kicked Taemi, something no one dares to do.

"YOU BITCH!" Taemi yelled on top of her lungs.

At one point, Eunbyul slapped Taemi in the face. The slap was hard, as if she was returning every single slap Taemi did on her face.

But Taemi still didn't give up. The devil's blood boiled, she grabbed Eunbyul's shirt, hit her hard on the ground and threw her away, unfortunately, towards a cliff.

Because of the hit, Eunbyul fell unconscious. She was rolling towards the edge of the cliff.

"BYUL!" Hyerim yelled desperately, thrashing harshly out of the guy's grip.

Before Eunbyul fell off the cliff, a hand grabbed on to her.

It was Joshua.

He miraculously managed to free himself from the bad dude holding him back.

Eunbyul slowly opened her eyes to find herself dangerously dangling, her old memories flew back into her head. Both times she was dangling had been because of Taemi.

And the devil stepped out and raised the knife in her hand, ready to dig the metal deep into Joshua's heart.

Before she could, a miracle happened.

For the first time ever,

Eunbyul shouted.

"STOP!"

Everyone was wide eyed, staring at Eunbyul. She herself felt surprised.

She couldn't believe it.

She could speak.

Taemi stood there, dumbfounded. Her long pause was enough for Jun to get out of the guy's grip and get to her, kicking the knife away, tying the devil up as she thrashed madly.

Joshua was about to pull Eunbyul up. But they were forgetting one thing.

"Do you think shit's over?" Hwayeon ran to the two out of nowhere and pushed wounded Joshua's arm, causing him to let go of Eunbyul's hand. Hyerim yelled in terror while the others gasped and were angry as hell.

Eunbyul's eyes widen before she slid off the cliff and she heard ringing in her ears. Then, everything became black.
