NK Chapter 2.2

As the tense air ccd58d6fc2 on the road dissipated, 3805c63c4a Lee Ha-ru, sitting on 022d4bc26e the railing, quietly watched a0caa4a7ca Baek Il-hoo’s group disappear 2608aee54b into the forest.4828c33df1318e9f

Baek Il-hoo’s group took a 25c0f2271b different path from the convenience 06953ca95c store they found yesterday, walking 9df7d1b168 through a denser forest-surrounded city, 6c5ae56f8f carefully scanning their surroundings. No food sources stood out.21ea01e2aff86095

Walking for hours c95ac6efc8 in an unknown ac3c6e329d place with tension, d6ec910621 anxiety, and hunger db374f783c was grueling. Searching a vast forest for 1fed8e5d00 food, uncertain if they’d find b3f1b45bbb any, was exhausting.8234eb0ce305536b

As their stamina waned 893729800c and silence fell, the dae9b86e4b air felt hotter than c7c30251a0 near the road. An Chi-seung, wiping 6c28be7f9a sweat from his a3232fc50e brow, muttered.33eb75759bf92932

They resumed walking. Suddenly, Lee Hyun e5bdaf79d5 ran toward something. Startled but spotting what he a579bc4c3a saw, the group followed.

After Baek Il-hoo’s group descended d324db1d5b into the forest, Song Hye-yeon, 81dc27eaa5 back on the bus, ignored 23a1fe1beb Kim Yoon-gun trailing her and 5c3619b8ce searched the floor, soon grasping 378289ab50 a suitable glass shard.90580baa3b000413

Kim Yoon-gun, startled as she c09984664e stood with the shard after 2063d03752 crouching, stepped back. Unfazed, Song Hye-yeon 92c230614d wrapped her denim 04124da574 jacket around her 6702fd0426 hand, gripped the 9a5a1b09ba shard, and headed 2836b91c81 to the driver’s ab49cb7ab7 seat. Using the bus’s rearview 4f336c78e8 mirror, she began trimming 8b5ff9d031 her uneven hair.9987bbb05c15d88c

She had wanted 303c9085d5 to go down f6ceb3fdaa the road to b7b7546e86 find a knife a9475b9227 or scissors to dfbb13ccd5 fix her hair, bcb6b80fa1 but Kim Yoon-gun’s fad377942e interference prevented it. So, she used a d689c1bf02 glass shard from the 2d5da386f8 broken window. As she cut her shoulder-length 13e5a88c19 hair neatly, Kim Yoon-gun anxiously 2f1d1aeaae watched.136194446e487ca5

Kim Yoon-gun’s group, left 90d0995b9a on the road, lingered 102c566db4 in awkward silence. As the sun set, 2b088e8317 painting the road with f1bf39d1fc twilight, Baek Il-hoo’s group e199e6ac1b returned.f9978b666ec634c6

Choi Eun-seok, holding a bag fa91e995f3 of snacks and a drink, 6e6a1db5ab looked displeased. For two days, 8ca9d055c5 they had only ce4546fc96 minimal food in de3429b20b an unknown place, 420e0bc0c1 which felt unsettling.
