Youngjae grabbed Marks hand and dragged him out the front door. They moved to the other side of the street and into Youngjae's front yard.

"Your house?" Mark asked, slightly disappointed. Youngjae simply shook his head. Mark was ever so confused. He never fully understood Youngjae and it was because of things like this.

They were running. Running past Youngjae's house and approaching a large patch of trees that formed behind a fence behind the houses on this side of the road. The fence was about 8ft tall. Too tall to climb. But Youngjae led them to a opening where the metal fence had been bent up to where you could walk underneath.

Youngjae held the fence up wider for Mark and then followed in behind him. Youngjae began to walk into the giant mass of trees, but Mark was hesitant.

"Hyung," Youngjae said looking back, "cmon, were almost there."

He stood in front of the older with worried eyes, not sure as to why he was suddenly so cautious.

There was a long pause as the two just stared at each other. Youngjae, waiting for Mark to explain himself. Mark, waiting for Youngjae to turn around and go home. But it looks like Youngjae won the silent game and Mark suddenly blurted out:

"How do you know there's no bears in these woods?

Another short pause was present before Youngjae began laughing.

"Hyung! There's no bears here! I've been here a whole lot! Now come on!"

Youngjae took Marks hand once again and pulled him deeper into the woods. He looked down at the brunette boys bare feet as he walked swiftly over rocks and twigs thorns, but not a single wince or groan left his lips. He feet were so calloused that they were as rough as a dogs paws. But it was fitting for Youngjae. His puppy like personality matching his strange tendencies.

Soon, Youngjae stopped before a small opening in the trees. He turned to Mark and smiled.

"Is this it?" The blonde asked, trying to look over Youngjae's shoulder at the scenery behind him where a distant sound of running water was coming from.

"Yep," Youngjae replied, "but before I show you, you have to do one thing."

Mark nodded hesitantly, nervous but trusting in Youngjae.

"You have to take off your shoes."
