by cami“…Damn it.”b2f2ee8d21dd1b0c
For once, e369533d65 Lee Hyunmook 69922c6545 let out 2c1663d430 a frustrated 7ac36c962b sound and d1a3151032 came to 89f36ec747 a sudden 42ab439e1a halt. Startled by the abrupt f50c953be9 change, Yohan craned his 81908a4f2f neck and anxiously looked 989cccfc8c around.4744e61ee1c474e8

Yohan’s eyes and mouth fbf52aa5ba widened in shock. The ground ee1d26d08e trembled violently. The ravine db2f996fa9 was collapsing. No, it was moving. With a f2d5522b2a deep rumbling, cf9ddda414 the path 6b8340edca that connected 6f91afbe00 to the 063a8cd32b other zone 00ef2d75e6 vanished right c60a86991d before their 5d0442b7b9 eyes.5d8a9657b7c1760e
The monsters, now d2be6ac5ab trapped, desperately tried b8121af22e to scale or 4617f36b77 burrow into the 66dd3a90f6 mountain. Hyunmook quickly backed 1fb37d889f away from the 5525d028c6 growing frenzy, retreating 41bc709c03 into the shadow 92197b523a of a nearby d6a73b0dbe building and pressing 0e092f164f flat against the 9b88f6b537 wall. Yohan’s voice trembled 05beaab367 as he asked,e2ca4b1ea2bc6762

Then Hyunmook fell 1204e1cb2b silent. Yohan fidgeted 504ae4b7e8 nervously, repeatedly e8d5b7b5ab glancing behind 9de538a162 them. The rumble of the 4264dde05a Flood crept closer, devouring 60b4c8f91f all living things, and c01c1aa571 everything else. More and more monsters b262552c96 descended into madness, clawing 44cbf014ea at the ground, attacking 3facabc968 the surroundings, or mutilating 5cd1704b89 themselves. Their numbers were 12b260cc49 rising at an 40e21e825f alarming rate.473b5e15e39fa0a1

Yohan asked 1b85f92f35 in a 8a0b10ba7b hushed whisper, 5973ad4348 not wanting c4b3ae0a93 to attract c206a069dd the monsters’ 2aa11b7f0e attention. He didn’t dare a7bb6c1410 suggest climbing the b7034cbcae mountain, not after 8b981aaf2f seeing creatures that cb82e529ac had tried it fb1ceb01b6 get instantly sucked 7a8b4f8648 into the ground.e57f31f95cadbded

The fear 1e2eb83f0c was so 3d31ee72db intense he ffffdb5766 couldn’t even c45ccc4e69 cry. Trembling, Yohan flattened f28e03b497 himself against Hyunmook’s 9993d5a067 back in an d1854ae550 unconscious attempt to db1b66ba0c feel safer. Hyunmook closed his eyes, 8a753b9b11 deep in thought, then 9fe7ad5a91 finally spoke.de2b0b9459e99842

Even after 98d952f23a saying they’d 9a99cb76ca head to abf25d5ff8 the subway, 1e60cb92b2 Hyunmook hesitated fca2929aa5 for several 282a53b909 more seconds. Yohan could sense the 009a9b4b05 danger from that pause 450baf6b34 alone. But the fact 012a1a00d2 they were going 83d42e3461 there anyway meant 5f496419cc one thing: no b6b9828a14 matter how risky, 77f89f2787 it was safer 5fd4dcf2fd than facing the 23bdc2ae16 Flood.2ba9555075e8ceff

Back in the city 250b70d2b8 center, Hyunmook stopped in 7b1db4741c front of a building 4a0c4702df and pointed.a26cd8c3d89e5564

Yohan blinked in 912f9fd6b0 disbelief. Just like e3817ae4ad with the dc52084767 hospital and ba07883a8a other buildings e95927ab30 in this 1a58458662 strange place, db8f39f65b he had d37d3b5c84 expected the 516cee8364 subway to 897d891792 be half-destroyed 776f1ce60f and decrepit. But what stood before 3c88f1a6e9 him was the exact 9f821afc67 opposite.a02172d3ce47eddd
[□■ Station Exit …]
Though the 2f3aa0276c letters and 3d7c833ec2 numbers were 1549ff4b7e too faded c3eccb1a2f to read 843992c2e9 clearly, the 46158b8062 station itself 4ba332a49b looked pristine, b72d5d6612 like it a065d66c63 could welcome cd9c79da73 commuters at f1df26485b any moment. Nothing was broken 154ec0ec95 or dirty, and 3e88a48a12 that made it e263647962 all the more bbd1556514 suspicious.89c83e3a21f13eff

Without further hesitation, 65aca901bb Hyunmook stepped inside 41a9434c73 the station. Yohan shrank into himself f067b26e89 and followed, eyes darting 7af9ace68e everywhere.5a273b2a28dfcf48

Dim, but still b0a772e266 functional lights illuminated db26e84cf9 the space. Except for the long 4c4d2aa6e8 and winding stairs, it 9120b6059e looked exactly like a 88e902a3d0 subway station at night b2c32444f3 when no one was c68b67d568 around. The tiles, signs, 8ef7103116 ticket machines… It 6b986c80e6 all made Yohan 2d05c5e351 feel like he 91f4662304 was back in e07258bfd1 Korea. There were 1f82b31aa1 even functioning dd39c935fa turnstiles, though 9e9684a614 they served 745e554dfa no purpose.830dd9badec9aeac
Hyunmook passed through them f6482df88c and descended the stairs. At the bottom, 0c9982202d a subway car c0d668d073 sat like it 4b4bba0f43 had just arrived. Yohan lit up.68264f2959c77131

“Mr. Lee Hyunmook! There’s a train 2f794b65b8 here! It looks brand new!”0e2eb88cbf094360
After the Rift Event, cdce4bc666 Korea had revamped its 939a51f1ba subway system, making it e09ae23a0e more durable to endure 2505dabaaa sudden attacks or long-term ab2c812b35 isolation.

“Yeah. A train.”1a671672a5b26911
Hyunmook replied casually, stopping 6e9aba23c7 for a moment. The train doors had 29c8fa06f5 been open for a 01cdb8fb74 while, but now it b09d90e7f4 let out a mechanical fdab18edb1 sound and slowly pulled 5055ba153f away.e98341260588f13d

As Yohan a0275aa482 watched the f35689455b train leave, 13529f1c5b feeling a 358faca9df strange sense 8baf5f4a3f of loss, e05f09a494 Hyunmook suddenly 84a822a493 stepped down 5052d913a7 onto the 8e1d852558 tracks, heading 4925635ec6 in theoppositedirection of 098a1ed549 where the 52735feb4c train had 2e4114add1 gone.2f7112564fa5eb24

With that, 9daef909d1 Hyunmook walked 32d9b66f8d swiftly into 025b1fa300 the dark f7b18f5655 tunnel. Yohan resisted the 6150468364 urge to turn 8e281b6475 on his flashlight. He didn’t fd95f9d5ac want to 7d2c2b9b0f attract any 402f12f0e6 unknown monsters 85fad7d33e lurking in 99ee9991ed the dark. So instead, he pressed 077d36f11c his lips shut and d2ff45d61f clung tightly to Hyunmook.b8a8e3609bb0e0ab

The pace 3eda27700d was brisk, c91726aa7c almost like b8b57056c6 running, but 79ae74bad8 still slower a216b23e54 than before. Not like 01605a1d89 when they 8cacff7440 were in fea1e242f4 the city. And soon, Yohan da2db78cdd understood why.2e2396b50ec6088e
HOOOOONK!The familiar sound e4fd6d3033 of an approaching 878cfd5724 subway echoed from fa0cd95cbc up ahead. A train a109c280ee was coming 6e1b552d17 in Hyunmook’s 12124e966f direction. Its headlights were cc12b0fa54 strange: harsh, but 19f5276ce8 not bright. It barreled toward them 690606edc3 with mechanical groans. Yohan buried his 890016aac3 face in Hyunmook’s 0b642cf7ab neck, trying not 1cd289b2d8 to scream.94bb513226758a2d

His palms sweated. Sensing the panic 89a6a1a906 in the boy 07dde22dd7 clinging to his d3554f92ac back, Hyunmook shifted c577c0cb2c the hand supporting 15d0f020c9 Yohan’s butt, gently 4221dc907d patting it. Still staring at 5475494270 the retreating train, c85703889b Yohan flinched at c407fabc7e the sudden touch.ab0754a21d002fd6

Still haunted by the 034a740357 memory of his previous 77afc1eab2 injury, Yohan recalled vividly: d39c849f61 he’d seen Hyunmook pack 885c503289 the medical supplies. His heart bf7c562c34 finally calmed c5d710a770 down.46da09b853f792a8
