Minzy

It would be alright, she repeated Minzy’s words again and again in her mind, chanting them silently until she began to believe them. So far they had survived, and once the nearing midnight struck, they would have survived the day. After that they could…what about after that? She held herself tighter, refusing to acknowledge that if it was impossible to break the rules, then there could only be one of them standing. Only one, and that person may not be her, and her eyes traveled over the two girls, and shut the thoughts out. Not now, she wouldn’t think about that so soon, not right after they had ended two lives, and Nara had to force herself to look away from the hatchet stuck in Chanyeol’s skull. They were safe, for not, but they were also murderers, and the ghosts of their classmates would follow them to their graves.

Again, she pulled herself together, taking the shattering bits and forcing them to stick together. She put her arms back down at her side, the limbs pendulous as she breathed, taking deep inhales to collect her sanity, Jinri’s speech serving as an adhesive to the process. It was something to focus on, outside of the death, the killing, and she took it, turning towards the girl she once called a friend. “Yeah, we’re planning on going to the lighthouse. It should be safer there and it’ll allow us to see if anyone comes our way.” Nara explained, and her voice was oddly steady for someone who had just killed. Her fingers curled, no, she had to think about surviving, couldn’t dwell on the dead, it was too late for them.

“You can.” It was a relief, and a new fear, but Jinri had helped them, and she didn’t seem like someone to betray them, so she put a little trust and faith into the girl. She, however, couldn’t smile to reassure her, and instead returned to the bags, taking out the supplies the boys had. She would keep the gun and the bullets that came with it, but the rest of their supplies would be distributed. Two water bottles, both half full, two cups of ramen, one loaf of bread, two boxes of matches, one map, one compass, and the binoculars. At this point, at least they wouldn’t starve.

“Minzy.” She stood, one of the water bottles in hand, and she was hit with realization. Nara planned to kill both of the boys, and she hadn’t, Jinri hadn’t, therefore it had to be the fragile girl, and when she looked to her short haired classmate, trembling, she realized the truth of what had happened. If she didn’t do something, she would break, and she approached the girl, outstretching her weak arm to pass her the water bottle. “Here, drink as much as you want, it’ll be fine.” It wasn’t a request but an instruction, and this time she could manage a smile, no matter how fake. For now, each of them needed one another to stay alive, lest they each find fates similar to the two boys that had just executed.

#Veni Vidi Vici #battleroyalejinri #battleroyalenara

Staring at what she had done to Chanyeol it seemed like Minzy had completely lost control over her own muscles. Trembling heavily on her spot on the ground the shocked girl could only think of how awful she was as the whole world got pushed aside by her. She didn’t deserve it to live. Not after what she had done. This whole place was cursed and she didn’t want to be here. She didn’t want to kill someone else. That wasn’t right and it shouldn’t be supposed to be right or feel right. If killing someone felt right then you were a monster and monsters aren’t supposed to live. Where first Minzy wanted to get out of here now she only wanted to die. She couldn’t live with the knowledge of what she had done and she didn’t even dare to think what her mother would think of this. She’d probably break the poor woman’s heart. No, she certainly wouldn’t be able to face her mother if she ever would manage to get off this island alive. No, she had to die here. That would be the best for her and her mother.

Momentarily waking up from her train of thoughts when someone spoke her name she broke her gaze loose from the hatchet to look at the reached out water bottle. Glancing cautiously and totally confused up from the bottle to Nara and back down for a couple of times as she processed Nara’s words in between the death screams her mind threw at her, it looked like the short-haired girl was going to refuse Nara’s instruction. It wasn’t going to be fine! Nothing was going to be fine! Ever! Wanting to scream exactly that to the girl’s face, Minzy only then realized how heavy her under lip and her jaw were trembling because she failed to get out a single sound. Feeling how her frustration faded away again as soon as it had come up, she helplessly focused her gaze on Nara and held it for a second or two after which she finally did reach out with one heavily trembling hand to take over the water bottle from the girl. “th-th-th-Thanks.” She managed to get out when she put her fingers around the bottle and retreated her hand.

Hugging the bottle against her, her eyes fell shut momentarily as she tried to regain enough control over her muscles. Trying to suppress the involuntary movements as good as she could muster, she reached out a hand to the pocket of her blazer with still a trembling hand. Taking the two herbal pills out of it she just put the dirty things in her mouth and then proceeded to empty the half full water bottle as she swallowed the pills meanwhile. Glad that she was drinking from a bottle because otherwise she probably would have spilled half of the water on the ground. Her thirst being quenched as at the same time her mouth didn’t feel as unpleasantly dry anymore she threw the empty water bottle aside. Watching how it landed on the ground a little end in front of her she breathed out a deep sigh as she finally regained control and stopped trembling. Even though she had managed to pull herself together enough so she wouldn't make a total scene, Minzy was still far from being stable.

Making a quick decision for herself she put her hand around the hatchet again and pulled it out of Chanyeol's head. Making a face at the blood on the blade she crawled closer to the boy so she could use his clothes to clean the blade off. Standing up the moment she was done with that she stood a bit unsteady on her legs as she eyed the two others, without sayiing a single word to them, while she waited for them to move so they all could go to the lighthouse. Of course she wouldn't forget to take her bag with her and carry any other bag if someone would tell her to do so.

Inventory Update: Hatchet

Veni, Vidi, Vici ✝ Jinri & Nara & Minzy

As Jinri began to regain her strength, her eyes wandered from the girls, to the incapacitated victims, to the various forest foliage surrounding them, her voice caught in her throat. Sure—she played the game right, she fought and injured her enemies so she could survive, but what about the moral aspect of her mind screaming to her to cease her cruel actions, causing a dark and heavy lump of emotion to ball up into her throat? Lee Hyeri was one kind of person, the type to torment others for the cruel sake of enjoyment. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were another kind of person; the kind of person that only wanted to simply survive and go home, back to their families.

There are two kinds of people in this world, and only one of the two deserved to live.

Tears brimmed her eyes as she looked down at the victims, desperately clinging onto their lives as their dark, blood-tainted tears streamed down their cheeks, blushed red with fear but slowly beginning to pale. Baekhyun’s eyes stared back to Jinri, as if pleading for the girl to help them. The girl’s eyes locked onto Baekhyun’s, a tear managing to leak from her left eye.

As Jinri managed to come back to her senses, she looked up at Minji, who had stated that Baekhyun would have to be slain first. Jinri felt a pang in her chest at the words uttered from the other, the phrase being uttered so nonchalantly, as if their deaths didn’t matter. Jinri only nodded as she walked over to the boy, kneeling beside him as she held his head up with her two sweating palms. “Make it quick, okay?” she muttered, her eyes locked on the boy, his eyes pleading with hers yet again for a rescue. Jinri mouthed a quick apology before she gripped his head tighter and locked her eyes shut, as she felt Nara hack away at the poor boy’s neck. Jinri’s body began to convulse with fear of having to open her eyes to witness the gore below her. “Minji, go grab the other one.” she whimpered, refusing to open her eyes, mentally begging to the Gods that the boy below her hadn’t suffered.

It would be kind for her to shoot them instead, but she was not kind, she couldn’t afford to give them such swift deaths when the bullets would be a benefit to them. “We’ll need the bullets…” Her voice sounded too far away, and Nara raised her hand, feeling her throat, attempting to determine if it was really her that was speaking, that the cruelty was of her own. When Minzy spoke again she forced the thoughts to disperse, and they evaporated as her eyes closed, her legs walking forward as she clutched on to the hatchet. They wouldn’t suffer as Ren did, she only had to drive the blade into the center of their foreheads, but sweat still gathered against her palms, Baekhyun’s fearful eyes trembling between her, Minzy and Jinri.

He was frozen in place – was he having trouble accepting that he was actually going to die? If that was her, would she behave the same way? Nara’s grip on the handle tightened, her inhale sharp as an echo over her own voice whispered that she was wrong, that she was a survivor. There was only one type, those that could adapt and abandon their morals. “I will.” She confirmed that she would make it quick, there was no reason for the boy to die in agony, and she stood in front of him, staring him down, observing the tremor that shook his body.

“Don’t…” Baekhyun’s voice was weak, unable to fully comprehend that his friend was dying beside him, that his own life was coming to an end, and it must have felt like they were so close, that they would escape together, somehow, no matter how impossible it was. That didn’t change the fact that the two would have taken what could keep them alive, and leave them for dead. “We were…we are…” He continued blabbering, and it brought her to stand in inertia as tears began to run down his cheeks. Was it pity? Nara raised her free hand, running her fingers through the young man’s fridge and pushing it back, her classmate staring up at her with his mouth parted, pupils constricted.

“It’s only a nightmare, that’s all.” Her voice felt foreign, and it was a sad, lying lullaby, soft and gentle, and she continued on, threading her fingers through his hair to comfort him, distracting the lamb from the blade. “You’ll wake up in a new, better life, one with Chanyoel, where no one has to die.” When her reassuring words ended on a smile, she watched as an exhale sunk his chest, and for a moment she thought he believed her, and his eyes drifted shut, waiting for the moment when he would wake up from this terrible dream.

The hatchet swung down the second she took her hand away, and the metal became lodged into his skull, slicing the organ underneath and causing blood to escape in sporadic waves, staining his face and falling into his closed eyes. She pulled the weapon, tugging it out of the head of the corpse, and the shell of the boy named Baekhyun slumped forward, lifeless, and no longer in pain, but the hatchet fell from her hands, hitting the ground as she wrapped her arms around herself. Her death, she couldn’t stop picturing herself in Baekhyun’s place, and Nara’s eyes shut tightly as she breathed, just wanting to get his helpless, pleading words out of her head. She needed to live, at any price, and though she could convince herself that her action was sparing the boy from those that loved the opportunity of violence, she still shook, breathing deeply until she could compose herself once more.

Kill Count : 2 [Death of Boy #11, Byun Baekhyun]

#battleroyalenara #battleroyalejinri #Veni Vidi Vici

Minzy had always believed that it would be hard to kill someone. She never had understood either how someone could go through with hurting another human being. But here she was, holding Baekhyun’s wrists together so that the boy wouldn’t suddenly try to escape or hurt Jinri or Nara. Playing her part in the role of killing Baekhyun and Chanyeol. A role which she had given herself. If it hadn’t been for her actions, Baekhyun and Chanyeol could still be alive. If she hadn’t been the one to attack Chanyeol first, maybe the two of them would have survived this or maybe the five of them would have survived. She had put something in motion back then and now it was far too late to stop it. This was her own fault.

Hearing how Nara tried to soothe Baekhyun she could feel in the way the muscles of his lower arms relaxed that tad bit that he desperately clung to her words. Just wanting to believe them although the four of them probably would know better when they were in any other situation. Not being able to look at any of them Minzy kept her head, and the rest of her body, as far away as possible from them. Not wanting to literally have Baekhyun’s blood on her hands, or her clothes for that matter, because she had already done more than enough to help him get killed. Maybe Nara would be the one swing the hatchet, but she had somehow forced Nara, Jinri and the boys into this situation. So she was as good as a killer as Nara was. That realization changed something inside of her and were first she had done her best to ignore it and refuse to believe it, because she wasn't able to handle it, Minzy now knew that it was true. Leaving her behind in shock which quickly shifted to a numb and void feeling which was the only thing that kept herself from committing suicide or to become completely insane.

Clutching at Baekhyun’s wrists when she could hear how the hatchet spliced his skull, she only let go of him the moment she heard Jinri’s voice. Forcing herself to take a breath she groaned lightly at the overwhelming smell of blood. Not able to look at their victim she took a step away from him as she turned her back to him. Hesitantly looking up at Nara she saw how the girl tried her best to deal with the situation but currently wasn’t fully able to. As she looked at Nara’s face and her whole stance, Minzy could only think of what had she done to the two girls. They didn’t deserve anything like this. Not feeling guilty towards them nor for herself because that really wouldn’t change anything about their current situation, the young girl spoke up in a hoarse voice which really didn’t sound soothing or reassuring at all. “It’s going to be alright.” Addressing that sentence to the two other girls, Minzy lowered herself down to the ground so she could take hold of the hatchet.

Feeling like she was dreaming, or maybe just detached from her own body, she could see how her fingers curled around the handle of the hatchet and how she proceeded to stand up and walk towards Chanyeol. Would she be strong enough? She had to be. Ignoring every comment or question Jinri or Nara would throw at her she came to an halt at the left side of Chanyeol’s head. Looking down at the still unconscious Chanyeol for a second or two the last thing that went through her mind, before she buried the axe into his skull, was that at least he wouldn’t fully realize that he was going to die. Starting to tremble heavily when the blade sliced through the boy’s skull her vision blurred and the next thing she knew was that she was sitting on the ground. Still trembling heavily, although she didn’t realize that, she wasn’t able to tear her eyes away from the hatchet that proudly stood on Chanyeol’s forehead like it was some kind of hat for a Halloween party.

She had always believed that it would be hard to kill someone. Apparently she was wrong.

Kill Count: 1 [Death of Boy #12, Park Chanyeol]

Veni, Vidi, Vici ✝ Jinri & Nara & Minzy

As the gun sounded, a shriek rang from her lips as her captor above her began to freeze, his eyes bulging from their sockets, blood beginning to leak from the rims of the eyes. She quickly shoved the corpse off of her body, his hands—still warm but quickly losing body heat—held their vice death grip upon her wrists. It took a moment of prying the worn hands off of her wrists that made her realize that she was just saved by her enemy. After her arms were freed, she flopped onto her side on the dirt floor below her, gasping for breath.

“I-I’m okay…” she muttered, once she had heard a noise from one of the other girls. She hadn’t been paying much attention; her mind had been clouded with a certain calming feeling she couldn’t seem to pinpoint. A feeling of safety, perhaps? She shrugged off her bag and boosted herself up with her left arm, as the adrenaline began to wear off, causing her right, battle-scarred arm began to scream with pain, causing her to cover her wound with her other arm that had been propping her up. She winced at the pain, biting down on her lower lip. “I’m okay…” she repeated as tears of agony began to swell over the rims of her eyelids.

As the girl returned to her senses, the voices surrounding her had become easier to pinpoint. She lifted her head to look up at the others, knowing that her current state couldn’t be described as anything other than pathetic, and she looked back to the bodies of the girls’ captors. “Well… Maybe we should loot their bags and go somewhere else. I have extra food, if you need anything to eat…” she stated, her voice quiet and exhausted. As the pain became worse, she instinctively grabbed her bag and pulled out the herbal medication and her water, taking out two of the pills. As she inspected the quality of the dirt-covered pills, she heard a small groan come from Nara that caused Jinri to look up.

“Are you okay?” the girl questioned, her voice slowly regaining her strength, squinting her eyes to inspect the current state of the two girls. To her dismay, the girls appeared in a worse state than Jinri had been. With a huff, she pulled out one of the slightly fuller bottles of medication and tossed it too them. “I’d wash the pills before taking them, if I were you. They look like someone dumped dirt in them.” Her voice rang matter-of-factly as she washed the pill with a splash of her water before popping one in her mouth.

Inventory update: 1¾ Water bottles; 2¾ expired herbal tablets

She wouldn’t call it a miracle as much as it was dumb luck that the three of them were still okay. Minzy’s respiratory system betrayed her, but she still had her inhaler, blood peeked out of Jinri’s eyes, but she would survive, and as for herself, the wound on her shoulder was coagulating, and would scab over, she just had to hope it wouldn’t get infected. “I don’t know.” Nara answered, eyes hovering over the two boys with apathy. They could leave them to die, or they could kill them right here, either way they couldn’t fight, and didn’t they deserve it for threatening, and then attacking them?

Or would that make them just as evil and rotten? Did she even care? Would she be haunted by her decisions or would she grin if she made it out of here alive? Her pupils drifted down to the girl who had saved them, but she felt nothing in particular towards her, no gratitude, concern, nothing, perhaps her body was exhausted. “I’m fine.” Her reply was monotone, and she caught to bottle, inspecting it before opening it, and grabbing two of the tablets. “Thanks….Hopefully they do something.” Her speech seemed automatic, dreamy even, and she passed the bottle of pills to Minzy before retrieving her water bottle, quickly washing the tablets before swallowing them with the remaining water.

“You’re right. We’ll take their things, its better in our hands than in theirs. At least we have a chance at living.” She eyed the two boys as if they were nothing but scum, and her eyes narrowed until her eyelids dropped in fatigue, but she stepped forward anyways. Baekhyun attempted to move away, but Chanyeol was silent, probably passed out from the pain or the shock, and she stopped in front of them, dropping the empty water bottle. “Why don’t you run?” She questioned, but she didn’t get an answer, and she moved towards their abandoned bags first, slinging them over her good shoulder with a huff, and she returned to Minzy and Jinri, their prize for fighting weighting down on her before she was forced to drop both the bags, and her own as well.

Should they just kill them? With the thought repeated in her head Nara lowered herself down to the ground, wincing when her knees cried out from the contact, and she looked through the bags, containing the same supplies they had, and binoculars. “These will help, when we’re at the lighthouse.” She commented, lifting them up and inspecting them. “We’ll divide all of this soon but…” Her voice turned cold as her head turned, looking at the two helpless students’ transverse from them, and languidly she stood again. “They’re a liability. Imagine – someone comes up, questions them, and then they find out that the three of us have been together and have pills, a gun, and now the lighthouse…” Her head shook, that was her own fault, and she looked over to Minzy, holding her hand out, silently asking for the hatchet. “If you don’t want to do it, I will.”

Taking the bottle of pills over from Nara once the girl handed them to her, Minzy took out two pills of her own. Not being able to wash them, let stand swallow them, because she didn’t have any water anymore, she thirstily licked her lips as she watched how Nara washed her two tablets and then proceeded to swallow them with her remaining water. Glancing briefly down at the palm of her hand in which she held both of the dirty tablets, she swallowed some of her spit to ease her sore throat after which she decided to put both of the pills in the pocket of her blazer. She’d make sure to take those pills in later once she had managed to get some water again. She’d ask one of the girls later, or maybe she just would take Chanyeol’s or Baekhyun’s water. That was if the other girls gave her permission to take their water, though. Glad that Jinri and Nara had decided around the same time that they would claim the possessions of their captives, she kept her eyes on Nara as the girl went to fetch both of the boys bags. Eyes shooting from Nara to Baekhyun and back she made sure that the boy wouldn’t do anything to harm Nara, she eventually managed to smile lightly but friendly at Nara once the girl stood safely back in front of them. Taking half a step closer to the bags, Minzy crouched down but a moment later after Nara did so.

Looking at how her leader inspected the bags she had noticed how Nara winced the moment her knees made contact with the ground. Wishing she’d have a set of band aids and more water with her so she could ease Nara’s pain, she kept looking at the girl with a worried and somewhat confused expression as she rummaged through the bags. Feeling how her lips perked up into a small smile the moment Nara showed them the binoculars she nodded her head as she hummed in affirmation. More than glad to hear that they’ll divide the supplies in the bag soon, Minzy stood up with a small sigh as she told herself to just wait for the water a moment longer. But then Nara’s voice changed from its neutral tone to a more colder one and once Minzy heard it she unconsciously held on a bit tighter to the wooden handle of the small axe she was holding in her left hand. Listening to her reasoning Minzy knew that Nara was right. Yet the moment she turned to her and reached out her hand Minzy's eyes widened in shock. Not believing that she’d use the hatchet to kill them when she still had a gun to shoot them!

“What…? Nara…? You still have a gun to shoot them.” She answered the girl's silent question, voice sounding surprisingly soft as her eyes wavered. Killing them with a hatchet would be far more painful than just shooting them. Or not? In fact she wasn’t sure what would be less painful for them because dying always meant pain, right? But why with the hatchet? Why would she keep the remaining bullets with her? Or were there no bullets left anymore? But even a better question than any of those she had asked herself before, who was she to question Nara's decision? All of this went through her mind in but a couple of seconds and even before Nara or Jinri could reply to her, Minzy glanced down from Nara's face to her outstretched hand as she let out a helpless sigh before she put the hatchet in the girl's hand. "I'm sorry. I'll help you." She apologized the moment Nara took the hatchet over from her.

Rubbing her face next with both her hands she shook her head lightly at herself because it still didn't feel completely right for her. But if Nara thought this was the best way to kill them than it was the best way. "Let's start with Baekhyun." She commented briefly as her eyes travelled to said boy. He probably was going to be the one that caused them the most trouble anyway. "Jinri, can you help me hold him still so Nara can slice his throat or break his skull in half or whatever she wants to do without getting hurt?" Glancing shortly over at said girl, she waited for her answer before she then would move closer to Baekhyun so she could hold him still as good as she could so that Nara had enough time to kill him off.

Veni, Vidi, Vici ✝ Jinri & Nara & Minzy

As she spied Minji in her peripheral, she flinched, allowing a bit of the momentum to leave the force of the bag as she swung it against the man’s head, causing him to turn around and use one of his bullets on the girl, causing her to hiss and cover the wound with her left arm, dropping the bag as the bullet skidded against the skin of her arm, causing a sharp, deep abrasion on her arm.

“Y-You bastard..” she hissed, her teeth gritted together, as she lunged toward the man, her eyes bloodshot and tearing as she threw merciless jabs at his arm, back, stomach, anywhere, as defense. The brawl lasted for a minute or so, more so wrestling than actually causing damage to each other, before the older had pinned Jinri to the grassy dirt floor below her, his hands aiming to grip at her neck. Jinri, in an angered fit of rage, gripped his hands before they found her neck, and dug her nails into the flesh of his hands, searching for a possibly vein to crush.

“What did they ever do to you!? Do you have a reason to kill them!?” she screamed as her dull nails scraped against his flesh, the entire upper half of her body convulsing in a mixture of pure irate tension and fear. Jinri turned her head toward the girls, who appeared to be sitting there in pure shock. “Well what are you doing?! Can’t you see I’m trying to save your asses?! If you’d help me here, that’d be great!!” she belted, a dark, powerful smirk plastered upon her face, although her eyes pled desperately for the much needed assistance that could possibly save her from her demise.

This time when the seconds moved quickly, Nara kept her eyes on the items passing between them, and not the act between people. She turned her emotions off on command, convincing herself that if she thought logically that at the very least she would get out alive, and she watched, thanking her lucky stars when Jinri appeared out of nowhere and distracted Chanyeol. A bang ran through the air as collisions occurred, and though she heard nothing but a ring in her ears she stared, watching as colors turned into blurs. Of Minzy tackling Chanyeol, and his hands grabbing her throat, and then Jinri stepping in, preventing the girl from facing a death caused by asphyxiation, and soon on the road to blue skin herself.

She watched, eyeing the revolver on the floor, and then looking to Baekhyun, watching as his hands trembled. This is not what the two of them had planned, killing, fighting, she looked into his eyes and when she stepped forward, he did the same, edging toward the gun left unattended, forgotten on the floor. Words were spoken, yelled, but she heard them as if they were trapped behind thick mosaic glass, they became distant pleas as the mandorlas in her visage narrowed, becoming slits of forced acidic hatred, and when she sensed his legs stiffen she darted forward, and he did the same, mimicking her actions, but she was quicker, ready, and snatched the revolver. She took it in her hands and pressed down the safety switch, the click turning his body into stone when she pointed it up at him from her place on the floor, knees bruised and dirty, but she wasn’t shaking like him, she wasn’t afraid.

Nara rose slowly, challenging him to make a move as the gears in her body turned, but he stayed still, breathless as her hair cascaded around her face and her wild, feral eyes, but the rest of her was meticulous, prudent in her actions. This time, what was being spoken reached her, Jinri’s voice, and when Baekhyun’s head turned to look at the fighting her arm moved, and she pulled the trigger, burying a single bullet into Chanyeol. She saw no blood, didn’t see where it hit, but his hands stopped moving, and he screamed, shouted incomprehensible noise as he fell to the side, off of Jinri, clutching onto his lower back, and her hands remained steady, despite that she had shot someone, someone who had a family, and a friend that rushed to his side, eyes wide as the boy repeated the same line over, and over again like a broken record.

“My legs! I…I can’t move my legs!”

Did her hands lack mercy? Paralysis, whatever hope they had, be it suicide or escaping, winning the game or waiting it out, she doubted that they would make it now if the others decided to spare them. Ignoring the other two girls Nara looked into cylinder, counting four loaded bullets, four that she wouldn’t waste, and finally paying attention to those in her company she looked over to Minzy, then Jinri, and her voice was quiet, but it was steady, close to emotionless, as the situation continued to be weighed down on her. “Are you two okay?

Minzy wasn’t quite sure what happened but she surely was relieved the moment Chanyeol’s hands were off of her throat. Starting to cough the moment Chanyeol’s hands released their grip on her, she vaguely became aware of the fact that Jinri had saved her. She didn’t get much time to be grateful for this, though, because soon another one of her asthma attacks demanded her full attention. Turning on her side and away from the two fighting people the girl started to wheeze as she tried her best to fill her lungs with dearly needed air. Lying helplessly on her side for a couple of seconds while she did her best to inhale more air than she exhaled, the voices of the others were forced to the background as the sound of her own coughs filled her ears. Eventually then she did reach for the pocket in her blazer in which she had put her inhaler after she had cleaned her wound. Clinging to the little thing for her dear life, she quickly got it out of her pocket, shook it a bit before bringing it to her mouth so she could squeeze the button and inhale the medicine. Closing her eyes as she took a deep breath, Minzy momentarily relaxed as she could feel how the burning and painful sensation in her lungs slowly faded.

Holding on to the inhaler with red stained fingernails, Minzy opened her eyes again the moment she could hear Chanyeol scream. Finding his screams almost unbearable to listen to, the young girl rolled over to her back as she turned her head to Jinri. Hoping that she’d be alright because she too had saved her life today. “Thank you for saving our lives, Jinri. Your timing was absolutely perfect.” Speaking in a hoarse and soft voice, Minzy coughed lightly after she had thanked the girl. Sending her a small but grateful smile she then slowly went to sit up after which she put her inhaler safely away again into her pcket. Glancing shortly up at Nara when she heard her quiet but steady voice sound up in between Chanyeol’s screaming, she swallowed before she answered her is a hoarse and soft voice. “I’m okay…” Maybe Nara wouldn’t hear her soft and weak answer but that actually didn’t matter. What mattered now was the fact that she wanted to know how Jinri was doing and that someone seriously had to make Chanyeol shut up. If she had to listen to his screams for a couple of minutes more she was sure that she’d go crazy.

Waiting for Jinri to give a sign that she was alright as well, Minzy ignored Chanyeol as good as she could as she lifted herself up from the ground so she could claim the hatchet again. After picking it up from the ground, the girl automatically went to stand next to Nara. Taking in the place at the girl’s left side she looked down at Chanyeol and his friend. “What are we going to do with them?” She questioned as she loosely pointed over to the two with the hatchet. Letting the decision making over to Jinri and Nara, Minzy would agree with anything they would decide.

Veni, Vidi, Vici ✝ Jinri & Nara & Minzy

Jinri crouched behind a shrub nearby the mob of people in front of her, a little ways enough to not be sensed by the two men standing in front of the girls. Her eyes strained to watch through the leaves the scene unfolding in front of her. Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun—two classmates that Jinri had not particularly had an opinion of—holding a gun to the head of Nara, Minji crouching close by.

Jinri’s eyes widened at the sight of Minji being held hostage in this way. The girl had done nothing wrong, why would she be forced to end up in her current state? The sight of the scene unfolding caused Jinri’s blood to boil, her arm gripping tighter on the sack of tangerines to her side. Minji had been one of the very few for Jinri to had made relations with in her class, even though for a short while. She couldn’t bear to see what she had considered a friend in a state such as this.

Her heart rate began to increase as she stood up from her current position, allowing the girls facing her to see her enraged expression engraved upon her face. She stared daggers into the back of Chanyeol’s head, her own head spinning in attempt to form a quick plan of attack before she would get noticed by the boys. With her entire body convulsing, she held the bag above her head, her heart about to burst from her chest after she realized what she had just gotten herself into, tears beginning to brim at the edges of her eyelids. “G-Get away from them…” she hissed, her voice completely lacking in the strong dexterity that the men in front of her had possessed.

#veni vidi vici #battleroyalejinri #battleroyalenara #(continuation of the solo para x) )

Eyes widening in surprise at the sight of the familiar person, who held a bag of oranges above her head, Minzy felt how her heartbeat sped up. As if the two males weren’t already in trouble because they threatened Nara with a gun, they now really would win the grand prize if they would threaten Jinri with it as well. As images of her killing Chanyeol flashed in front of her eyes again, Minzy leaped forward the moment said boy looked back to see who the hell it was that had been talking to them. Staying silent while she attacked Chanyeol, so she wouldn’t ruin her own advantage of surprise she had over him, Minzy first pushed his slightly lowered arm and hand, in which he held the gun, aside before she then slammed herself against him with her full body weight. Hearing how a gunshot pierced through the air, the girl didn’t have time to see if it had hit someone or not, while she pulled the bigger guy down to the ground with her. Landing on top of him as Chanyeol fell on his back on the ground, her classmate had let go of the gun after he had fired a shot.

Being more than surprised the moment she landed on top of Chanyeol, Minzy panicked for a couple of seconds as she questioned herself what the hell she was going to do now and what the hell she had been doing so far?! Had she completely lost her mind or what?! Though soon she was forced again to turn her full attention to the boy that was lying underneath her as he tried to push her off of him. Clinging to him so he wouldn’t be able to push her off, she soon had to give in to the other, though. Falling down on the ground next to Chanyeol she stared with wide and frightened eyes up at him as the other put his hands around her throat. Even though he did not squeeze but just made sure that she'd stay down on the ground, Minzy did start to panic again. And as she did that she started to kick her legs wildly around while she tried to struggle and wriggle her way out of this situation as she stared terrified up at Chanyeol's face. Lifting up both her hands she placed them around Chanyeol's hands as she started to scratch the skin off of his hands. Hoping that the guy would release her because he wouldn't be able to stand the pain before he'd be able to choke her.

A Leap Of Faith | Nara & Minzy

Nara nodded, confirming that she hadn’t looked into the contents of her bag either, and she walked forward and placed her bags down beside Minzy’s, her fingers grazing over the zipper as the other girl began listing off what she had, and when she opened her own bag she discovered that unsurprisingly they had the same items. Barely any food, closer to a minimum amount of water, she thought of the possibility of dying of dehydration as she began unscrewing the cap, realizing just how thirsty she was, but instead of quenching herself Nara fastened it back shut. She couldn’t just waste what she had, but she didn’t know when it would be too either. Should she save it for later on the hopes that no one will come along and take it from her?

The losing battle was pressed to the edges of her thoughts when those wonderfully deadly words were spoken, and her head snapped in Minzy’s direction, her eyes visibly widened as she looked to see that yes, the other girl had been given something that couldn’t just kill one person, but a group of them, all it would take is one all-too trusting bite. “That’s…” Was she supposed to say that it was great? Nara pressed her lips together, she wasn’t a murderer, and yet here she was thinking about how they could take advantage of their hungry, thirsty classmates to eliminate them. “That could be useful.” She settled on that, beginning to realize how easy it was for a human to end the life of another, despite living with their heads filled with flimsy morals – at the end of the day, weren’t they a species built on war and violence?

She looked back into her own bag, rummaging through it in homes to finding something, preferably a gun, and all she pulled out that didn’t match Minzy’s items was a sleek, black pen. “Oh you’ve got to be kidding me.” She spoke in an exasperated sigh, her hand still clutching onto the virtually useless object. There were pens in her backpack! What good would this do her? With her heartbeat beginning to pick up again, the image of herself lying in a pool of her own blood flashing in her mind, she picked up the map and looked over it, eyes landing on a landmark not too far from where they stood. “The lighthouse.” Laying the map on the table she pressed her finger on the area of C10, roughly half a kilometer away, even with Minzy’s asthma it shouldn’t take them long to her there.

“That would be ideal; with the elevation we will be able to see anyone coming close. We should go now before we get stuck here.” It wasn’t a suggestion, this was her plan, and in her rush Nara folded up the map and put it back in her bag, pausing only to take time to rummage through her backpack to rip out notebook pages, stuffing them in the smaller bag for fuel to build a fire, and soon after she placed her nearly full pack of cigarettes in side as well as her lighter. “Let’s get going.” Swinging the bag over her shoulder after shoving the pen in her blazer pocket she sent Minzy an expectant look, assuming that she would follow before ditching her backpack all together, it had nothing she needed, and she headed towards the barn doors, opening them only to stare into the bloodied face of Choi Minki, standing only a few feet away, a hatchet in one hand, a megaphone in the other, and her own body frozen, feet nailed to the ground.

#battleroyalenara #A leap of faith #(ah the suspense!)#(I'm so curious for what Nara's going to do now xD)

Slowly turning her gaze back down to the bottle in her hands Minzy’s unsure expression cleared. If Nara approved of her having such a dangerous weapon then everything was alright. Not thinking further about how she had to use the poison to kill others, the young girl carefully put the bottle back in her backpack. Rummaging a bit more through it she tried to order her stuff a bit so she would easily find her ‘weapon’ in between her food and water. Glancing back up at Nara when she heard her exasperated sigh, Minzy’s eyes fell on the object she held in her hand. Frowning lightly at it she then hummed softly, sounding a bit hesitant and unsure, before she eventually spoke up. “A pen can be very dangerous and painful. Not to forget that it’s a very handy object to carry with you at all time. I’m sure it will be useful.” Smiling lightly over at the other girl Minzy really had done her best to make Nara feel better about the object those bad people had given her. After all she couldn’t stand it to see the person she believed to be stronger than her sad or clueless or anything else which could be perceived as negative.

Not completely understanding Nara’s plan to go to the lighthouse, Minzy quickly started to pack her bag when Nara folded her map. Basically throwing her pens, notebook, inhaler and lady-care stuff in the bag which contained her water and food she zipped it closed again when Nara swung her bag over her shoulder. “Yes.” She quickly agreed with the girl to let her know that she was going with her. Swinging her own bag over her left shoulder when Nara opened the barn doors, Minzy got startled the moment she spotted the way too scary figure who blocked their way out.

Standing completely still as she stared in horror at the boy’s face, on which she could read nothing else than pain mingled with insanity, for about half a second, Minzy dashed forward the moment the guy took a step forward while he lifted the megaphone above his head. Giving the impression that he was more than ready to strike the girl in front of him. “Nara!” She could hear herself screech as she ran over to the two, being more than determined to keep Nara safe. The person who she saw as her leader and the one who would find a way off this island so the both of them would survive this nightmare. Reaching them right before the megaphone could strike Nara, Minzy pushed said girl aside in a very rude manner, with both of her hands, so she would be struck by the megaphone instead.

Feeling how the metal hit the right side of her head with a great force, Minzy stumbled backwards for a step or two before she fell down. Landing on her backpack Minzy never even got aware of the fact that she was now in fact lying down instead of standing up. The pain from the blow to her head had taking her over completely as it also became the only thought that resonated in her head. Eyes falling close while her right cheek colored red by her own blood, the girl didn't know anymore who she was or where she was. For a very crucial moment Minzy was vulnerable and only time would show if the girl ever would obtain enough consciousness again to realize how close she had been to death.

[Thing that is important here: Minzy accepted the first attack and lies groggy on the ground on her back while she has a deep cut in her right cheek]

[Past] Admiring From Afar | Baekho & Minzy

battleroyale-baekho

Baekho didn’t have sinister intentions, yet watched Minzy with interest akin to a predator stalking its prey. Outwardly, the boy exuded casual friendliness, careful not to push too far. Her nervousness was half endearing, half pathetic. Mostly the latter, actually, but Baekho thought it was kind of cute, considering that he was the one who caused it. He found himself with a small grin matching her restrained one.

“Thanks," the boy answered, facing her with the genuine smile. He then wet his lips and looked back out onto the field, where the game was still ongoing. “But yeah, football was never really my thing," he agreed, more amused than offended at the girl’s honesty. Even if he had been offended, there was no use in scaring her off; that was the opposite of his goal. At least Minzy wasn’t smothering him in flattery. He gave the girl credit for that.

They lapsed into silence again, a slightly tense one, during which Baekho racked his mind for a new, common topic. In reality, it only lasted for a few seconds. The boy was upbeat and yet casual enough that to an outsider passing by, it might have seemed that he was chatting with a good friend. “Hey, so, class trip in a few days, right? I don’t see the appeal, honestly." He sighed and lifted his shirt to wipe sweat from his forehead, then sat back again. “Like, why is everyone so excited?" Ideally, he would find a way to stay back. That way, he wouldn’t be bound to all of the restrictions created on the teacher’s whim. The students were missing class, but they were still stuck with the same group of people they were sick of.

#admiring from afar #battleroyalebaekho

Nodding her head once when Baekho thanked her she turned her gaze away from him when he looked over at the field. Looking over at the other players as well, she didn't answer him anymore. Instead she now was fully focused on the football team and the game they were playing. Not realizing that there had been a silence between them, Minzy turned her head back to Baekho when he spoke to her once more. Making a somewhat confused impression as she looked at him she tried her best to recall what he had told her. Cursing herself for her lack of concentration Minzy luckily could recall that he had been talking about their class trip. Which was going to take place in a few days.

"Oh, euhm," She started as she frowned lightly. Not really sure whether or not she had to go against Baekho's words. She really didn't want to make a bad impression on her crush, but then again, lying about her own interests wasn't exactly a good impression either. "I actually am excited for the trip to Jeju Island." Minzy therefore admitted as she let her eyes travel away from Baekho's face. Not being able to keep on looking at him while she actually went against his words. Sounding a little bit unsure because she didn't want Baekho to think bad of her she swallowed before she hastily continued. Trying her best to explain to the boy why she was so excited for the trip in hopes that maybe he'd understand her. "I only get the chance to go on a holiday with school. So each time there is a trip I'm excited about it. Especially now that we can go to Jeju Island. I heard that it's very beautiful there." Nodding lightly at the end of her little speech she glanced down at her math book again. Her fingers gently curling around the pencil she still had in her right hand.

A Leap Of Faith | Nara & Minzy

If she could have managed it Nara would have breathed a sigh of relief, but all she could accomplish was feeling her heart skip a beat when she realized that Minzy was terrified, much more afraid than she was, and she could use that fear, to twist it to her advantage. The epinephrine in her body began to fade away when the shorter girl spoke in agreement, and although her voice was afflicted by a quiver it was a sign that she had reached some success, and that was enough to get her to walk forward again with her countenance transforming into weak brightness, smiling as she moved closer to her reserved classmate.

“Me too, it’s better to be with a friend.” She replied with ease, following Minzy into the building. Light fell through the cracks in the wooden walls and ceiling, yet it was largely covered in shrouds of shadows, draped over bundles of hay and a lonesome table paired with matching, blemished chairs. “It doesn’t look like anyone’s here and, we were some of the first called right? We should be safe.” Her voice sounded stronger now, as it was her true self speaking, finding a conclusion to make her stomach stop feeling like cotton ,and immediately she turned and closed the door, tugging the attached plank of wood down to lock it, her lungs evacuating all the air from her body from the strain.

“There, now no one should be able to get in but,” Nara paused, mind thinking over several possibilities, of people trying to knock down the door or an attempt to set the barn on fire, and as she felt the hairs on her arms stick up and the sensation of burning alive trailing down her spine she held onto herself, backing away until she was walking towards the table. “We should look at what’s in these bags, right?” She looked over to Minzy with her the corners of her lips lifting despite the lingering forbidding emotion that tortured her, hoping that maybe the other girl had something useful that they could use and better yet, maybe she was lucky to be given something that could be used to defend herself.

#battleroyalenara #A Leap Of Faith

Hearing how Nara called her a friend when they got inside of the building, Minzy quickly glanced back to the other girl. Had she just heard her right? Or was her terrified mind playing tricks on her? The word 'friend' really did sound soothing now but she never had expected the other to think of her that way. Eyes momentarily traveling away from her to explore their new surroundings, Minzy carefully took a couple of steps away from the door so she could get closer to one of the chairs. Putting a hand on the backrest of the chair she lightly leaned on it as she granted her legs some rest. Humming in agreement with Nara's statement that they should be safe here Minzy felt how a big and very depressing weight fell of her shoulders. Until now Nara hadn't proven to be anything else than helpful and nice to her. So as long as she was with her Minzy knew that she was going to be safe.

Turning her attention back to the girl when she stated that they maybe should look in their bags a deep frown creased Minzy's face. Having forgotten all about the possible weapon she was carrying in one of her two bags she nodded in apprehension at Nara's question. After making sure that they would be safe the best next move indeed was to check their bags. With her question Nara definitely did show that she could deal with the situation way better than Minzy herself could. So it was only normal, and logical, for Minzy to follow her lead. In this way she also didn't have to think too much of her own. Because if she would start to think for her own, she'd probably have a melt down sooner or later. "Yes, we should." Minzy therefore easily agreed as she took hold of the straps of her bags. Putting them one by one down on the table she turned her gaze down to the bags as at the same time she made sure that Nara herself had enough room to put her own bags on the table as well. "I haven't checked my bags yet." Admitting that in a soft voice which sounded already more relaxed than she had been the moment Nara had found her, she opened her two bags one by one with slightly trembling fingers.

Rummaging through the bag the soldiers had thrown to her first, Minzy told Nara everything she found in said bag. Though there were pauses in between her words because the girl needed more time than she would need otherwise to recognize everything in her bag due to the lack of light. "Euhm, a cup of instant ramen, bread, a compass and a map, a water bottle..." Frowning when her hands got hold of a tiny bottle which she didn't recognize at all, she slowly lifted the bottle up and brought it closer to her face so she could read the label. "Potassium Cyanide..." Staring in disbelief at the deadly poison she held in her hands, Minzy quickly looked up at Nara. And in the way she looked at the other girl it was pretty clear that Minzy did not only want to know what Nara thought of the poison but she also wanted to get some sort of reassurance/approval of her. A reassurance, that it was alright for her to carry such a deadly poison with her and that it would somehow turn out to be helpful later on.

A Leap Of Faith | Nara & Minzy

The next time Nara put her hand to her chest she felt her heart beat return to normal, and though she wasted her time as one of the first to leave the school building, at least she used that time to pull herself together. It was enough to let her walk, especially when part of her was still denying that she could die, and it worked until she heard wheezing, coughing that made her freeze in her spot. Was she suddenly afraid of coughing now? It was laughable, but whoever it was, they could kill her, or they could help her survive, and walking through the morning light she strode until she saw a figure leaning against a farm house with fading, chipping red pain, and as she ventured closer she recognized the short haired girl to be Kong Minji – didn’t some call her Minzy? Nara pressed her lips together in new found determination, she knew the girl a bit because they lived in the same impoverished district, but more importantly did she know the girl’s personality, someone who could be led on, manipulated, and with her face still as white as a ghost she stopped several feet in front of Minzy, who was breathing in careful, long breaths.

“Minzy.” She spoke quietly, using the girl’s nickname to give a sense of familiarly, although just that word quivered genuinely, her body still reacting to its adrenaline and response to run, run until her legs gave out. Prudently, as if the other girl was a wild animal, Nara raised her hands in front of her, surrendering innocently with her eyes wide, terrified, and then when she blinked the emotion became diluted, the appearance of someone she could use giving her just enough hope to get a grip on her charisma. “What are you..oh, your asthma, of course.” Her lips curled slightly as her tone became lighter, acting as if it was just a normal day, that they were still in school, and then her fingers curled and she put her hands at her sides, walking forward once again with her head shaking in sudden, firm apprehension. “We can’t stay out here. They’ll find us…should we go inside?” She asked, slowly approaching the girl and subsequently, the door as well, hoping that Minzy would react well, because if she attacked, how was she going to defend herself? She bit down on the inside of her cheek, hopefully it wouldn’t come to that, she couldn’t die so early, and not by the hands of a girl that had asthma no less, could she?

#A leap of faith #battleroyalenara #ooc: I didn't know how far I could go ._. If I did something wrong just tell me :)

Lying down in the grass, Minzy almost forgot about the horrible things she had witnessed only minutes before. She even almost forgot why she had ran like a crazy woman for her life. Yet everything came rushing back to her as soon as she heard a female voice speaking her name. Gasping her eyes flew open and she immediately snapped her head into the direction the voice came from. Turning on her back she quickly pushed herself up so she would sit up now instead of lying down. Ready to crawl away from the girl if that was necessary or to stand up and run once more. Looking at her with terrified and almost pleading eyes Minzy first didn’t recognize the girl, nor did she see her surrendering stance. Though upon hearing the lighter tone and seeing her act more normally, Minzy slowly but surely started to relax as well. Nodding lightly when the girl she recognized as Nara asked her if they should go inside, Minzy slowly started to get up from the ground. “I think we should.” She answered her in a wavering voice. Though the presence of Nara did comfort her a bit, she was in fact still scared.

Only putting her inhaler away when she stood fully back on her own two feet, Minzy even dusted off her uniform for a moment and tried to fix her hair. Doing that was almost an automatic reaction for her because she didn’t want to get scolded by a teacher or so for making her uniform dirty. Having payed no attention to Nara when she was busy with making herself presentable once more, the girl easily could have attacked her if she wanted to. Not that she really thought about that though. Nara was a good girl. She never could imagine her harming a classmate of hers and because of her more natural behavior and the fact that Nara had asked her opinion made Minzy trust the girl faster than she normally would have done.

“I don't know what's going on, Nara. But I'm glad I'm not alone anymore." She stated as she glanced over at the closed door of the building. Her voice becoming stronger again as some of the fear left her body. "Let's hope we'll find something useful in there... And that no one 'bad' will find us." Taking a couple of steps closer to said door, Minzy reached out a trembling hand to it after which she then opened it so both of the girls could get inside.

[Past] Admiring From Afar | Baekho & Minzy

battleroyale-baekho

Baekho, over the years, had gained a bit of a reputation for loving and leaving. He fell hard, but picked himself up and lost interest just as quickly. Many thought he used girls simply to break their hearts, which, in some ways, held a bit of truth. The habit started off as sincere; he truly did think he was in love a few times, and was just as confused as his girlfriends when he informed them that his feelings had disappeared. He learned to accept the fact that maybe love just wasn’t for him. Or maybe, he just hadn’t found the right girl yet. So he kept trying, kept dating, partly to keep up his reputation, partly as a challenge, and partly because deep down, he might have really wanted to experience true love. Whether the girls were drawn to Baekho because of his reputation or despite it was beyond him. Maybe they were all disillusioned with the idea that they could be “the one" to finally break the pattern.

Either way, Baekho always noticed. He noticed the ones who threw themselves at him, of course, but he also noticed shy glances from the quieter girls, and hushed whispers of his name from a gossipy group across the room. The past few days drew his attention to one of the second situations.

He didn’t know much about Kong Minji, but her stares, not especially discreet, came as a surprise nonetheless. She’d always been in the off-limits category for him: quiet, studious, and two years his senior; too cool for someone as cool as Baekho, if that made sense. She just didn’t seem the type to be interested in an immature douchebag like himself. It seemed like a challenge, to befriend her and find out more, and Baekho was never one to turn down a challenge.

The perfect opportunity arose during a free period one day. The boy often snuck onto the roof for a smoke instead of staying at ground level with the rest of the class, but that day, he’d been invited to join his friend’s pickup game of soccer. He wasn’t outstanding, but he could hold his own. After half-time, he bowed out of the game in order to even out the unbalanced teams. Tired and slightly sweaty, he took off the top coat of his uniform and sat next to Minzy on her bench, making sure to leave ample space between them.

“Hi, Minzy, right? Sorry, I, uh, might smell a little, but there aren’t any other free benches," he said with an apologetic smile, “So I’ll try not to sit too close." He leaned back and closed his eyes, enjoying the light breeze. After a moment, he opened them again. “Were you watching the game by any chance? Or actually doing-" He glanced at the book in her lap and made a face. "- Ew, math?"

#battleroyalebaekho #admiring from afar #ooc: ah this is fun to write I never have written anything like this before keke

As if watching Baekho play sports wasn’t already too much for her to bear that day, her crush even decided to come and join her on the bench she currently occupied. Having a small panic attack as soon as she noticed that Baekho was coming over to… well, her… she tried her very best to look as busy as someone could be with her math book on her lap. Looking down at the book, all of her other senses were completely focused on Baekho when the younger took a seat next to her. Though he did make sure to leave enough space in between him. Coming up in her mind with various possible escape plans, the girl tried her best to turn her head away from Baekho as at the same time she made herself as tiny as possible in hopes that he wouldn’t notice her presence. Something which was highly impossible but well a girl can dream.

Sadly, the plan in which she would run away from her crush was in fact pretty embarrassing and because he started to talk to her Minzy would only embarrass herself further if she would indeed throw her book away after which she'd run away from him, screaming like a crazy person. But upon hearing him speak directly to her, she sure did wish that she could run away from him or just vanish into thin air. Again, sadly the only thing she could do was in fact answer him and trying to not embarrass herself too much. Looking ever so slowly up from her book she turned her head into his direction as well. A somewhat giddy but totally nervous smile perking up the corners of her mouth as she glanced directly at him for a moment. “Hi Baekho, that’s okay. I don’t smell anything.” She answered, her voice being soft yet she unmistakably sounded nervous. Swallowing because she had heard how nervous and weak her own voice sounded, Minzy turned her head away from him again. Wanting to bury herself behind her math book, she thought that the conversation between them was already over. Yet to her surprise Baekho continued talking to her.

"Oh, euhm, I have been watching the game yes." She decided to answer him honestly as she glanced down at her book. "I tried to do some math, but I got distracted by the game." Pressing her lips together because she didn't want to tell him why it exactly was that she was so distracted by the game, she started to grin lightly the next moment. "You've done a great job out there on the field." Complimenting Baekho for the skills he had displayed but a moment ago, she dared to glance back at him. "You weren't the best, but you weren't the worst either." Stating her honest opinion about his skills, Minzy didn't realize that maybe she'd offend the younger one in some way with her words. She never realized that stating the truth could actually offend or hurt people.

{PAST} Minji x Jinri - bon voyage

Jinri flinched as a girl had approached her in the giddiest of moods. Without poking her head up, she tightened her grip on the covers in a slight shock. The voice had sounded foreign to the girl, spending the few seconds allotted without having to sound rude, to decipher the foreign voice in her head. Without a clear answer, she folded a page of her book ever-so-gently to prevent a crease, and flipped the book over onto the cheap, wooden desk that the school provided, to see the face above her.

The person seemed completely foreign to the girl; short, black, almost blue black hair, a cherubic smile that made her appear like a doll; she seemed unknown to the girl. Granted, Jinri had not been the most sociable with her classmates, but she knew the faces of a couple. What was her name? Min..hee?

“O-Oh, um..” she stuttered, mentally cursing herself for her first words to be so weak sounding, “I’m almost near the end, where Juliet needs the potion to help her appear dead so she can live with Romeo forever..” Her teeth found her lower lip as she nodded in confirmation, the girl’s eyes locked on the other. “Are you a fan of Shakespeare too?” she questioned, her voice soft, yet the small glimmer of happiness braided through the words harmoniously, as a small smile creased on the sides of her lips.

#bon voyage #battleroyalejinri

Hearing how Jinri had almost reached the end of her book Minzy pouted lightly as she looked down at the cheap desk for a second after which she then looked back up at her classmate. Remembering all too well how heartbreaking and frustrating it had been for her to read the end of the beautiful love story. Luckily Jinri soon asked her another question and she gladly accepted it so she could lead the conversation to a more happier topic than the ending scene of the tragedy. “Oh, yes! I certainly am!” She beamed before she lifted both her hands and started to count on them as she told Jinri which tragedies and sonnets she already had read. “So far I’ve read: Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet and a couple of sonnets. I still try to get my hands on other stories and sonnets of him, but sometimes it’s really hard to read and understand the stories or sonnets.” Pausing for a short moment, she nodded along with her own words to indicate exactly how hard she found it to keep up with Shakespeare’s stories she added, “Even in Korean.”

Being silent once more for a second or two, Minzy’s thoughts momentarily drifted away from the conversation. Random thoughts coming up in her before she eventually did manage to come back to the present. “It’s very nice to know that someone else in my class likes his work too. I never thought anyone would.” She stated softly with a small but happy and somewhat grateful smile. This encounter only proved to her that once again she didn't have to worry about the fact that some people found her a weird girl for liking the things she liked. There always were a couple of people in the world that liked the exact same things as her, so she truly couldn't be that much different from others.

A Leap Of Faith | Nara & Minzy

Ever since she had woken up that dreadful day Minzy felt like she was stuck in a nightmare. It had to be a nightmare, it just couldn’t be real! Listening to the horrible shouting of instructions she also was forced to watch how a couple of her classmates died in front of her eyes. Staring at the red colored pool on the floor, Minzy felt her heartbeat race against her ribs. Starting to feel nauseous as she saw how the pool became bigger, she thought for a moment that she’d faint. She never had seen so much blood in her entire life! How was it even possible to have so much blood in your body?! In her shocked state, she hadn’t even noticed how some of Taemin’s blood had splattered onto her black uniform when the guy died. But luckily for her, or maybe she wasn’t in fact so lucky, Minzy managed to stay conscious as her terrified eyes were glued to the lifeless body that lay but a meter or so away from her. This all was just a horrible nightmare and she was sure that she was going to wake up later on. She had to wake up, she just had to. She didn’t want to play this game. This wasn’t a fun game to play. Why did she have to play along with this? What happened to Jeju Island? What happened with the fun school trip?

She didn’t even know how she had managed to get outside of the building. She only vaguely remembered people shouting at her, throwing her backpack at her and telling her to run. Something which she did. Running for her life Minzy felt how tears brimmed in the corners of her eyes as she just ran in a straight line away from that damned building. She didn’t have a single clue where she was heading to, but the only thing she did know was the fact that she had to get the hell away from other people. She had to hide and stay there for the rest of the time in which she was stuck in this horrible nightmare of hers.

Driven by her flight response, and the will to survive, the girl didn’t stop running for a very long time. She already had passed one building in her haste of making the distance between herself and the school as big as possible, but upon spotting the second building not only her lungs but her entire body made it pretty clear to her that she had to stop running to catch her breath. Where first the adrenaline had numbed the pain she now became aware of the burning and tight sensation in her chest and the fact that she was wheezing and sometimes even coughing.

More stumbling than running the last meters to the building, Minzy didn’t reach it but instead fell down on her left side in the grass a couple of centimeters away from the door. Trembling violently the girl somehow managed to get a hold of her backpack in which she searched for her inhaler as the world became darker and she kept on wheezing and coughing. Managing to get a hold of the very familiar thing Minzy instantly brought it to her mouth. Squeezing it she took a very deep breath at the same time and instantly she could feel how some of the tightness in her chest faded. Yet she decided to puff once more because she really had tired herself out with that long run. Dropping the hand in which she held the inhaler down on the ground, Minzy closed her eyes as she concentrated herself on her breathing. Her wheezing slowly turning into normal and more regular breaths again as the girl remained in her position. Being absolutely too tired to move.

{PAST} Minji x Jinri - bon voyage

As the days winded down to the end of the year, the single event that Jinri had been dreading had finally arrived — the class trip.

The class had been scheduled to visit Jeju Island for a week, something about studying volcanic rock formations. Jinri couldn’t bear to listen to the instructor drone on and on about how lucky the class had been to take part in this wondrous exhibition to the Manjanggul caves of Jeju Island. The younger had of course been excited about the nature part of the class trip, but the idea of bunking with other people in a tent seemed…weird.

The class had been told to pack all the necessities in their bag, from sleeping bags to cameras to beauty products. Jinri’s family had been raised poor, hence the fact that her bag was nearly empty. The girl had packed the newest novels she had been reading, her unruly and otherwise shredded teddy bear backpack—which she had brought with her on nearly every vacation—, and a small Zip Loc bag of personal hygiene items.

As she hunkered into her seat, her face shoved into her copy of Romeo and Juliet, the other classmates had been causing an uproar of laughter and obnoxious chatter across the room, causing Jinri to feel almost claustrophobic in the mass of people surrounding her. She had only one thought in her mind as her eyes scanned the pages of the novel. “This is going to be a long few days.", she murmured, her voice holding a glimmer of agitation as she flipped the page.
