DYSTOPIA: STRICTLAND | ATEEZ (DISCONTINUED)
10

Jongho, Mingi and Hongjoong walked erratically. They set foot in the original. Look around the inn they rented. Not much different in fact this place with their world.

How do they know this isn't their world? That's because some things look striking the difference. The civilization in this city was much more advanced. They even saw a car flying there. Although only finger.

"Hyung, can we survive here?" Jongho asked softly. His heart was always shrouded in baseless fear. Jongho was very afraid of not being able to adjust to the conditions there. Especially if she is forbidden to sing. Jongho loved to sing. However, here, it is strictly forbidden.

"We're gonna try, Ho. Whatever happens, we won't leave you or anyone else. We will also bring Wooyoung back" Hongjoong said.

As the eldest brother and captain, Hongjoong felt that he should be able to strengthen everyone. Being a backstop for his sisters. Let them cry on his shoulder. And put aside his own feelings.

If you ask who is the best liar among the eight young men, then the answer is Hongjoong. He always put on his strong face. Hiding all his worries, sadness, and pain deeply. Only Wooyoung managed to figure it all out. Wooyoung is the best at detecting a person's mood. Hongjoong could never lie to his friend on that one.

Mingi who was in the middle noticed Hongjoong's movements. I don't know what the captain really felt. And not knowing what kind of action to take. Mingi was indeed the one who put on the first body if anyone disturbed her friend. But, in terms of understanding one's mood, Mingi was very lousy.

"Young! Lookie! It seemed like there was something in the garden" Mingi exclaimed.

The tall young man stepped his feet excitedly there. Her ears heard a familiar voice. Upon careful consideration, his eyes caught San and Yeosang right in front of him.

"Hear everything. Art is about beauty. Sacred and pure. Performing arts such as drama performances even make many people entertained. Those who are tired of working can get a laugh from the staged drama shows. That's called art. Not as the person said", San said out loud.

Mingi did not blink hearing San's words. Jongho and Hongjoong are the same. Both of them were stunned by all of San's words. However, the three did not understand the problem. So, they just kept quiet and observed. Not to interfere in the conversation.

"What are you saying, young man? There are no entertaining shows. People are always scared after seeing a drama show. The playwrights behaved as if they were bringing a story to cheer, but behind the scenes they attacked. It causes chaos and division. Don't be influenced by it. A snot like him doesn't understand his own words".

Mingi clenched her hands inadmissive. Hongjoong held Mingi's hand. He asked her not to take anything out of her mouth. Even in the depths of his heart, Hongjoong wanted to hit the man's face on the pulpit.

"I understand very well what I am saying. You're afraid the public would approve of what I'm saying. Isn't that right, sir?"

Hongjoong, Mingi, and Jongho grinned together. Very satisfied with San's response. The three people were waiting for the reply of the arrogant man in the pulpit.

"Defying my words is the same as opposing the leader. Catch her!"

"RUN SAN! YEO!"

San and Yeosang gasped at the scream. Reflek, both of them fled from that place. No, it was not the cry of Jongho, Mingi, or Hongjoong. However, Wooyoung. That shout belonged to Wooyoung.

Hongjoong looked around. His rounded net caught the figure of Wooyoung in the middle of the crowd. Wooyoung, the young man also ran. His steps followed the direction of San and Yeosang.

"Wooyoung", said lirih Mingi.

Jongho drew Mingi and Hongjoong's hands to run along. The men were also suddenly chasing them. I don't know why. Only provoking San.

"CONTINUE RUNNING!!!"

Wooyoung gave instructions. His hand reached Yeosang. Lead him in a direction that even Yeosang did not know. San, Mingi, Jongho, and Hongjoong tailed behind.

Their feelings are mixed. Being able to see Wooyoung again was a happy thing throughout their lives. Really, their hearts are relieved.

DOR!!!

DOR!!!

DOR!!!!

"Ouch!! Why are they shooting anyway?!" wooyoung.

"Stop! Stop or we shoot you in the head?!" said one of the people chasing them.

"Continue running! Stop or run the same! Shot together!!" Wooyoung chuckled at Yeosang's words. Sometimes he looks back. Those guys are still chasing.

"Ck! Dare crackling! Where to bring another gun!" wooyoung.

San who was behind him laughed a little. Making Wooyoung glare at him.

Wooyoung's eyes rounded to see the two figures of his other friend. They were choosing some vegetables there. With his ignorant thoughts, Wooyoung yelled at them as well.

"Seonghwa Hyung!!! Yao!!! Let's run!!!!"

Seonghwa and Yunho jumped in shock. The two are forced to pull by San and Mingi to come running.

DOR!!!!

DOR!!!

DOR!!!

And increasingly shocked to hear the consecutive shots fired at them. Seonghwa gasped for a moment. The scream, the scream that always lingered in his mind. His friend, his sister, his brother Seonghwa was sure it was Wooyoung's cry.

"What was Wooyoung?" ask Seonghwa.

"Yes. Wooyoung in front, same Yeosang", replied Hongjoong as he was.

The eight young men's footsteps led to the forest. It is a large and unspoiled forest.

Wooyoung slowed down her steps after feeling she entered the middle of the forest. The young man laughed at his gasping friends.

"Capek, huh?" ask Wooyoung lightly.

"THINK YOURSELF THERE!" Wooyoung laughed at the scene. He was not offended at all hearing that.

"Eh, Yeo? You cry?" yeosang's eyes were very red and teary. Those eyes let out a water circle that was getting longer and more swift.

"Thank God! I thought you died being eaten by a shark or drowned!" Yeosang hugged Wooyoung tightly.

"Hey! Do you think I am weak?! Don't cry yet! I'm fine and now we meet again. So, stop crying", Wooyoung stroked Yeosang's back gently. Calm the young man so as not to continue sobbing.

Within seconds, all of his friends hugged Wooyoung tightly. In fact, the young man's face was flushed. "Dam! Already! Lepasin!! this second!!" wooyoung Protest.

"It's a good thing you're okay, Woo" Yeosang said.

"I'll always be fine" Wooyoung replied with a smile.

"Kok can you guys be here?" Wooyoung looked at them full of probes. Based on the story from Jun, Wooyoung began to worry about the existing conditions. Especially to his friends. Wooyoung doesn't want anything bad to happen. Plus their current beachhead location is the city centre STRICTLAND.

"We're looking for you, Woo".
