heās not superstitious by any means. seriously. one-hundred percent would be down to walk into a haunted house and leave himself bare and exposed to the forces of nature. being haunted? sounds sexy. yideun wouldnāt mind too much. natural selection, survival of the fittest, yadda yadda yadda, maybe heād be flattered.
thereās a lot to unpack here. a lot he doesnāt wantĀ to unpack. who the fuck just goes around calling ghosts sexy? oh, well, maybe there isĀ one personā
āhey, dumbass,ā yideun grits out, kicking at a clod of dirt on the path in front of them. a clod of dirt that turns out to be a fucking rockĀ because itās dark as shit and theyāre hiking for some reason (hiking, which is great.Ā but at night? probably one of theirāor maybe just @sgnjoowonāsāworse ideas). had the fates spun their needle and thread in his favor, yideun wouldnāt be here, period. but he is, and he wants to make the most of it (allegedly), but thisāthis?Ā āare we lost?ā
heās not superstitious by any means.
seriously.
but something about wandering around an eerie, unfamiliar nature trail at ass oāclock when itās probably prime time for demons and ghosts and whatever else goes bump and eats your soul in the night? well, yideunās only human (allegedly) and he isnāt sure if this is the kind of stroll through the woods heās particularly keen on.
that, and while (only when joowon isnāt listening) (and literally no one else is in the vicinity) (so heās literally just talking to himself) (and sometimes he doesnāt really say it out loud either, so he supposes heās just kind of thinking it) joowonās undoubtedly his best friend, something about their years of friendship have led yideun to believe that were they to stumble into a life-or-death situation a la blair witch project, neither of them would be particularly useful. (and maybe on a worse day, yideun might volunteer joowon as tribute.) (just joking.) (maybe.)Ā
a twig snaps. probably a wolf. or the start of a really kitschy c-grade horror movie.Ā
ājesus christ, are we even on the fucking trail anymore?ā he mutters, mostly to himself, squinting (with much futility) to try to get a clear look at the path.Ā āisnāt this, like, the ideal setting for slenderman to just come out and eat us alive.āĀ
