Yabuki Nako's POV

It was almost 11:00 PM and we were setting up the tents. We agreed on sleeping at the shore since it's our last day here. We're leaving tomorrow afternoon.

We sang countless songs after we sang Little things by One Direction.

Yujin sang I love you 3000, Chaewon Unnie sang It was love, Yuri sang That's okay with Sakura Unnie, Eunbi Unnie sang To My Youth, Chaeyeon Unnie sang Skyline, Yena Unnie, Hyewon Unnie, Hitomi and I sang Oh really that was Sakura Unnie's request. As for Wonyoung, our baby sang Mad at Disney.

It's the happiest I'd ever been.

Our friendship will always go down as the most beautiful one.

Once we were done with the tent, we all decided to group ourselves according to the roomies.

There were 6 tents, meaning there'll be two people per tent.

The ones with 3 people in their rooms decided to play rock paper scissors and the loser gets kicked out.

Hyewon Unnie, Kang Chan, and Kkura Chan played the game, and eventually, Eunbi Unnie lost. Looking defeated, Eunbi Unnie moves to the last tent.

To finally settle everything, Hitomi, Yujin, and I played rock paper scissors too. With a few tries, Yujin loses.

Yujin ran towards Eunbi Unnie while Hyewon and Yena teased her.

It was almost 12:00 AM when we all decided to hit the bed.

I could still hear faint sounds of murmuring, the other girls are probably still talking to each other.

Hitomi and I were just lying down without talking. It wasn't new to us. I was about to sleep when I received a text.

I got my phone and I saw Hitomi on hers, too.

Go to the house real quick, something's waiting for you.

We both looked at each other, feeling confused because it was from an unknown number. I looked at Hitomi, asking her if we'll go or not but I guess curiosity ruled over me as we both found ourselves walking to the house. Trying not to wake the others up.

I think it's just a prank from one of the girls.

But when we got there, no one was there. Hitomi and I sat on the couch as we waited for the "something" that was waiting for us.

We tried to enumerate who could the sender be when we hear noises from outside and with a click, the door opens revealing Yuri and Wonyoung.

"You guys sent the text?" Hitomi asks Yuri and Wonyoung. Both shook their heads while Wonyoung looks bothered, "We didn't— but wait, you received the text too?" Wonyoung asks, looking skeptical of this whole anonymous text going on.

"Yeah, we got here like five minutes ago?" I said, kind of unsure.

With Wonyoung in, we continued to discuss the messages.

With another click, Minju enters the house shocked to see four people inside her house.

Minju? Her, too?

"You received the message, too?" Hitomi asks again, and her tone changes. I know Hitomi, she's growing suspicious of this.

Hitomi opens her mouth to say something but then the door opens for the third time revealing Chaeyeon Unnie and Yujin. What the fuck, them too?!

"Okay, what the heck? What are you guys doing here?" Yujin asks as she sat beside Wonyoung.

"We all received the text, Yujin Unnie," Wonyoung says as she offered Yujin pringles.

"Dang it! I got excited about nothing. I thought I was the only one." Yujin eats the pringles Wonyoung offered her.

Hitomi plays with her fingers, an indicator that she's thinking.

"But... What is this for?" Chaeyeon Unnie says as she reads the text messages again. Everyone whips out their phone to check if we all got the exact same messages and we did. It was from the exact same number, unknown to all of us.

"Could the other girls left in the tents be playing with us?" Wonyoung suggests. It was the most logical reason.

"Maybe... And maybe Sakura Unnie sent the messages, trying to mess with us?" Yuri agrees.

"But why?" Hitomi whispers but we heard it all.

"To prank us, maybe? Plus, Hyewon, Eunbi Unnie, Sakura Unnie, Yena, and Chaewon aren't here. The only logical explanation is that they're messing with us." Chaeyeon Unnie says with conviction. And it makes sense, maybe... They're indeed pranking us.

"We don't know that yet..." Wonyoung murmurs. Her eyes turn bright as if she has thought of something brilliant. We all stared at her, "Everyone, put your phones out and go to the message." Wonyoung instructs, though dazed by the current happenings, we all followed what she said. We all placed our phones on the table.

Wonyoung stayed silent as she examines the phones.

"Unnies... don't you see anything weird about the text messages?" Wonyoung smirks. With Wonyoung's remark, Hitomi scoots closer to the text messages.

Everyone else got their attention on the messages, I got mine too but I don't see anything weird about it. Are we seeing the same thing?

Hitomi and Wonyoung looks at each other and Wonyoung nods. Are they connected through telepathy? I still don't get it.

"There's a five-minute interval between the messages," Hitomi says. "Uh-uh, and we all received them in this order Nako-Hitomi, Yuri-Wonyoung, Minju, Yujin-Chaeyeon." Wonyoung continues.

Listening to Wonyoung and Hitomi, I looked at the messages again and they were right. Hitomi and I received the messages first, then after five minutes, Yuri and Wonyoung received them too, then Minju, then Chaeyeon, and Yujin.

"It hasn't been five minutes, so the next text hasn't been sent yet. Let's just wait for the re— AAAAAAAAH." Wonyoung wasn't able to finish her sentence when a gunshot had been fired.

"Everyone, duck!" Chaeyeon Unnie shouts. We all looked at each other, shocked. I couldn't move... I was stuck to the floor.

A few gunshots followed and with another scream, we all ran for our lives.

Minju showed us the way to her room, she all pointed at her closet. Thinking of safety, we blindly followed her. Now, we're packed inside Minju's closet as she fumbled around.

"Closet? Seriously Minju, this is the best hiding spot you could think of?" Yuri whispers to Minju.

"Oh shut the fuck up Yuri, move over I'm looking for something." Yuri moved over. The only thing we could hear was heavy breaths.

I could hear Yujin whispering something to Wonyoung. Oh fuck, Wonyoung.

"Wonnie, baby, are you okay?"  I turned around to talk to her. Still shaking, Wonyoung nods. She had the loudest scream among all of us, I bet she's terrified.

With everyone whispering Wonyoung that it'll be fine we hear something opening.

"Ah-ah found it!" Minju stood up and the closet opened up to reveal a new room.

"What the fuck, I thought these things only happen in movies?" I blabbered out. You can't blame me, that was my genuine reaction.

Minju led us to a place. It was a big space connected to her closet.

Minju hastily opened the TV, and the videos of the whole place were shown on the TV. The CCTVs.

We all scanned the whole place and we saw it surrounded by armed men, they were on their way to the beach. The beach... The tents... The other girls... Fuck, Hyewon Unnie, Yena Unnie, Sakura Unnie, Chaewon Unnie, and Eunbi Unnie.

"Unnie... The tents... The other girls are still there!" Wonyoung was hysterical. She worriedly glanced at the TV.

The rest of the girls were worried. Our friends are outside for fuck's sake and there are men outside the house.

Yena Unnie, Eunbi Unnie, Chaewon Unnie, Hyewon Unnie, and Sakura Unnie... They're in danger.

Our horror came true as we watched the armed men pointing their guns at the tents. We all stood up... They can't die... No... My friends...

"NOOOOOOO," Wonyoung screamed as she cried for our friends who were left outside.

Soon, countless gunshots were heard. The sound of gunshots and cries mixed... And my heart broke.

No... Our friends...
