As the tense air 8d7349e8a7 on the road dissipated, dcbf54ff6d Lee Ha-ru, sitting on 94ded64211 the railing, quietly watched 1644e59c58 Baek Il-hoo’s group disappear 9224d14f3f into the forest.c30d7fc1fb0f29ca

Baek Il-hoo’s group took a 0cbe053529 different path from the convenience f0d29fc65d store they found yesterday, walking e0d6f2cfc9 through a denser forest-surrounded city, b51f8375e3 carefully scanning their surroundings. No food sources stood out.926681c800b86a7e

Walking for hours in e392a02528 an unknown place with a8a4d59c8a tension, anxiety, and hunger 8b7ea87acb was grueling. Searching a vast forest for 94eaa1501b food, uncertain if they’d find 1b04269cfb any, was exhausting.7a4fe85ed3110d27

As their stamina waned and 5a89eed02b silence fell, the air felt 88e1acb219 hotter than near the road. An Chi-seung, wiping sweat 7b57fbdf58 from his brow, muttered.5d21223d1ccf7d78

They resumed walking. Suddenly, Lee Hyun ran 6c7019f765 toward something. Startled but spotting what dacb75f0f3 he saw, the group c98f6b5fee followed. They found a vending machine 34c1bd7644 stocked with drinks and snacks. Cheering, they broke it open, d5319d53c1 collecting every item. With more items eb49cfd729 than the previous 9f27e74944 day’s convenience store, 91ddd259c9 they lacked containers dbba1aa3b7 but wove their b866a87f49 jackets together to 302e130fbc carry the haul.122dd086a59411e2

After Baek Il-hoo’s group d831afb2e0 descended into the forest, 15755db096 Song Hye-yeon, back on c08ca4479d the bus, ignored Kim b07aa7fff3 Yoon-gun trailing her and 7b5f40f459 searched the floor, soon a4ddb7be58 grasping a suitable glass 7d95b513c9 shard.cfd5fdcda2de2838

Kim Yoon-gun, startled as a3763175d0 she stood with the 5e411d82cd shard after crouching, stepped a4e5b4ca12 back. Unfazed, Song Hye-yeon bfec4f1467 wrapped her denim ed94ab3664 jacket around her d54efd9708 hand, gripped the dfc67819c0 shard, and headed 76833c662c to the driver’s e096cdc353 seat.

She had wanted to go be58d83b5b down the road to find 1d850dd396 a knife or scissors to 07d606edac fix her hair, but Kim 38013893b4 Yoon-gun’s interference prevented it. So, she used f4a344fa42 a glass shard ae4f10a4a7 from the broken 7d26ad4cec window. As she cut 20cb6b4d35 her shoulder-length hair 0b25f461d9 neatly, Kim Yoon-gun 039b4beb64 anxiously watched.c6d9550e81e36db2

Kim Yoon-gun’s group, left f3ceb33566 on the road, lingered 1154baf890 in awkward silence. As the sun set, 935e975de3 painting the road with b1c704dca9 twilight, Baek Il-hoo’s group 5da73b07f1 returned.6a8e04e44cf68817

Kim Yoon-gun’s group subtly welcomed a47ae7f70b them, but Baek Il-hoo’s group, 2f515cda1b unconcerned, boarded the bus.

As Baek Shin-hoo distributed food, c9e15cd9e0 he noticed Song Hye-yeon. Her uneven hair was c337949ef3 now neatly cropped. Realizing she likely wanted scissors af9d47e8c8 or a knife, he handed 2b58e79f73 her food and drink, resolving 31d5d85e58 to find such tools if 1802094127 possible.9acb0d8b6e1149e4

Choi Eun-seok, holding a bag 79650725d1 of snacks and a drink, 3eb57ba5d2 looked displeased. For two days, they 9380e8038b had only minimal food 880bedee79 in an unknown place, 3790872eda which felt unsettling. The uncertain arrival 4261149c8b of a rescue 0cf8960c28 team and the 264bc4aab0 meager portions added 9b583aad15 to his frustration.78e27f7617eb92e2
