The Trip

Chapter 3

[ Seol-Hee p.o.v ]

A sense of fear had dominated us. All of us. With quickly steps we had gone back to the car and got inside. Himchan was sitting next to me, at the driver's seat and everyone else were sitting at the backseat. I looked outside of the window towards the forest. It was late at night, darkness was everywhere and the idea of a killer wandering around made my heard beating faster. The only thing i had in my mind was to leave from this place, to return back to Seoul. I was confident that we would escape easily from here until i heard Himchan hitting hard the steering wheel.

"Fuck!" I turned my head to look at him. "What is wrong oppa? " Himchan gave an anxious glance at me and then looked at the others.

"The car can't start. We don't have any gas."  "What the hell? It was almost full when we came at the cabin some hours ago. What do you mean there is no gas? " Kyung-ah asked almost with an angry tone.

"Himchan oppa try again. We...we can't stay here." Sora looked at him, also frightened. Himchan tried again and of course nothing happened.
"Let me see what is wrong..there is no way that we don't have gas." I opened the door next to me and stepped out of the car. I noticed that the others did the same with me, the left the car. With a quick check around the car, i didn't have a problem to find out what was wrong.

"The reserve tank has a hole on it. All the gas had leaked out. See? " I pointed at the ground under the car. "And if i guess right, the hole is freshly made" Sora looked at me.

"You have to do something Seol-hee. We can't stay here."  "I can change the battery. "  "What do you mean?" Kyung-ah asked.

"What i mean is..that i can take the battery from Himchan's car and put it at Yongguk's oppa car. It will take me no more than five minute." Daehyun nodded his head. "Good idea Seol-hee. Do it"   Quickly,i went in front of our car so i could take the battery. I opened the hood but what i saw inside made me scream from fear.
I heard Himchan quickly rushed to my side and i grabbed his hand. "Oh my god..." Himchan took a look at were the battery was supposed to be. But instead of the battery there was a note on a paper and what looked like blood around the machine.

By now, the others were next to us, all terrified by the sight in front of us. Himchan took the note in his hands and started to read those red letters. "It wouldn't be fun if the battery was here, would it? I hide it somewhere here. Find it." At the end of the note i noticed that there was a smiling face, drew by the killer probably.

"Oh no..this can't be...when we were searching for Yongguk oppa, the killer was here. Messing with the cars. That means that he is still here. We have to leave." Sora looked at all of us. I haven't seen her so terrified before. But i couldn't blame her i felt the same way.

"We should go to the police or the neighbours i don't know. But we can't stay here. " Himchan threw the paper down, next to his feet. "Himchan hyung, the highway is like a twenty minutes from here with the car. And the neighbours are way too long if we walk towards them."

Daehyun was right. We were in the middle of the forrest with no car and a killer is trying to mess with us. Just walking to the highway or the neighbours isn't a good solution. "After all we still need to go back to the others. We can't leave them back. If we walk back to the cabin is almost ten minutes i guess..still is a better idea than going to the highway by feet." 

"Kyung-ah is right. We can't leave them." I closed the hood and took again Himchan's hand. "I have an idea but..is a little risky. Let's do what he says. Let's find the battery and Seol-hee would put it back to the car. In the mean time some of us would go back to the cabin... we will gather up and wait until you come and get us with the car. And then we will all leave." Sora looked at us waiting for an approval or not to the idea that she suggested.
