"How are you guys doing?" Taeyong ask.
He already feels recharge after almost four hours of sleep. He immediately stands up and walk the few steps to get to where Doyoung's group is. He sat down beside Doyoung while asking the question.
"Oh!! You awake already?!" Doyoung got a little startled. "It's still the middle of the night..
" I know. I am already recharge. It's best if you guys sleep now, so you can regain your energy for tomorrow." Taeyong responded. He knows that others need to take some rest too.
Without hesitation Haechan hurriedly stands up and thank Taeyong. He then went to the same spot where Taeyong slept earlier.
This woke up Johnny and Lucas.
When the two noticed that Taeyong is being replaced by Haechan, they both decided to stand up as well and went to where the others are seating near the bon fire.
Mark saw them coming so he stands up and walk towards the direction where others are sleeping.
"Thanks, Hyung" He said to Johnny.
"Go ahead, you guys go to sleep now. Goodnight." Johnny said to Mark.
"You two should take rest as well." Taeyong said to Jaemin and Doyoung when the two did not move from where they are seated.
"Thanks, Hyung." Jaemin said as him and Doyoung stand up and went to the sleeping area.
Taeyong, Johnny and Lucas are now serving as look out.
"I think I need to pee." Lucas said suddenly.
"Now that you said it. I feel like I need too." Johnny said while lauging a little.
"Then both of you should go. Just don't go too far from here." Taeyong advise the two.
The two giants of the group stands up and walked not too far from the base.
"I don't feel comfortable doing it while they are still within my sight, Hyung." Lucas said to Johnny.
"Okay. Let's go to that side. " Johnny said pertaining to another tree almost fifteen steps away from their current location.
Both did their business on their selected area.
Lucas and Johnny went to the shore to wash their hands. Both of them sits near the shore, both of their feets get soaked in the ocean as the waves continue to go back and forth.
After washing their hands they both stand up and their gaze focused to the sea. They can see the moon clearly from where they are standing.
"It looks so peaceful." Johnny said.
"It's far so different from the night that took us to this island." Lucas said remembering the night that they are all floating in the sea and huge waves keeps on crashing on them.
"We are alive, and I know we will be rescued soon." Johnny said while patting Lucas' shoulder.
"Do you think all of the other passengers also survived?" Lucas ask with a worried but full of hope look in his eyes.
Johnny sighed. He also wants to believe that everyone in the plan survive but with what they experienced he knows that them being all together, alive in this island is already a miracle.
He just continues in patting his hand to Lucas and did not give any answer.
Lucas somehow realize that Johnny doesn't want to think about something bad or negative at the moment, so he just shrugged off the thought on his head.
He also felt something is wrong. Johnny kept on patting his hand on his back. At first he felt it comforting, but then realized that Johnny is now drying both of his hand on his back.
"Yah! Yah!, Hyung!!" He exclaimed and immediately took three steps away from Johnny.
Johnny just laugh at him. He then puts both of his hand inside his packet and suggested for them to go back.
Lucas just scratched his head and then followed Johnny to their base.
" What took you guys so long?" Taeyong asked.
"We are already planning to wake up the others and to go after you guys." Jaehyun said who is now sitting beside Taeyong.
"I am sorry. We didn't mean to worry you guys. We just had a little sight seeing. The moon is too bright in the sky it looks beautiful." Johnny answered.
"How's your foot, Hyung?" Lucas asked Jaehyun.
"It's better now. I can even walk on my own. It still hurts but its just a very little pain." Jaehyun said.
Lucas sits beside Jaehyun and checked his injured foot.
"Yeah it looks fine." Lucas said after checking it under the light coming from the bon fire.
Jaehyun together with the other three members just sat near the fire.
Then Ems woke up and sits beside the men who are just seating quietly near the fire.
"It's too early. Why are you up already?" Johnny asks.
"I don't feel sleepy anymore." Ems smiled. "I also want to let Ann sleep more comfortably."
"Why? Is she not okay?" Jaehyun asked right away after hearing Ann's name.
"Oh! She is totally fine. Don't worry. I just want to give her back the same favor she did to me earlier. I know she's also tired, but she decided stay up earlier to give me the space for myself." Ems explained.
"I see." Jaehyun felt relieved upon hearing it. However he felt a little surprise on how he reacted. Why does he feels so worried for Ann? Why does he feel comfort in knowing she is doing fine? These and all other questions keeps bothering him when he felt Taeyong's hand patting his shoulder.
He looked at Taeyong and their eyes met.
Without any word said. He knows that Taeyong has an idea with what is going on in his mind.
He felt comfort knowing that Taeyong knows his worries and he somehow felt that what his worrying is just normal.
On the other hand Taeyong who comforted Jaehyun feels a little worried for Jaehyun. Just like how Jeno worries for Jaemin.
"How about you? Did you sleep well?" Johnny asked Ems.
Ems just smiled and nodded..
