Gavin - Survive On The Terrible Island
Chapter 48's

in the dark and cold, we started walking down the other side to find a way out.

silence. only the sound of our footsteps walking down the hallway.

" brrr. i. it's getting cold" said Nico hugging his own body with both hands

nico is a normal person to live comfortably. Walking in a place like this without wearing clothes must be very difficult for him..

this place does have a cold temperature.My skin can feel it, but this is not a problem for me.

I have a crazy dad practicing...

cih. I remember how he trained me in the frozen river during the winter in Iceland. I soaked my body without any clothes at all. I was ten years old..

" man, how do you keep your body warm" asked nico who was approaching behind me..

" humms?? "i who heard nico's question turned to him for a while and turned to look forward back "nothing. "

" hum?? you don't have a method ?? then how can you stand this cold without wearing a shirt ? " ask nico while rubbing and giving a breath to his hand.he looks very cold..

" my body's been trained, so it doesn't really feel the impact like you "

" uh. oh so. "

not only nico. I also saw rara, marissa and clara who were rubbing her hands because of the cold..

" you better carry this torch fire in your hand" I said handing the torch fire in my hand to the nico

" oh, yes, thank you, bro.. "

" yes, then now you lead the way" I said to nico by patting his left shoulder

" huh ?? ka.. then I better stay behind.. "

" no. if you shiver and pass out from the cold it will be troublesome "

" after all, it's better that you hold the torch. if I hold it, it'll be late if something happens "

" uh.., yeah. ba. be good then.. "

nico said after forcefully swallowing saliva into his throat

" just relax, I'm right next to you.. "

" thank you "answered nico who seemed to be swallowing his fear while starting one step ahead of me..

not long after that..

" jreb ! " a long-handed monster appeared from the left side of the passageway.I quickly stabbed right in his head.Till the rotten green liquid splashed onto the nico face that was in front of me " kreaggggh ! "

" he.iihihh ! "

" this hallway has a few door holes next to it ? " i said as I examined the door hole to the left of the hallway...

this hole without a dark door must have gone to the other room..

it's very dangerous, if this is how we don't know which way monsters will appear..

" b.bro just let me stay behind" said Nico, who was sitting on the floor with a face filled with monster blood..

this coward.

" cih. "i who saw the nico with a pale face of fear. turned my back unhappily then took the falling torch beside him "hold this ! "

" b. bro I don't..

" again I hear you say the word fear.I'll leave you here "

for a moment everything became quiet.

" v..vinn???. "sounds marissa calling me doubtfully..

" humms ?? " i turned to face Marissa, but she just kept quiet and slowly started to look down.

I, unaware of something, began to look in the other direction.

but what I saw was that they looked so tense..

" sister.., why are you so cold ?? " ask clara who looks like she's emboldening herself

" humms ?? "

it was then that I realized, that I had lost control again.

what exactly happened ??

I don't understand why I got so emotional just because of a little problem..

with the sword in my left hand that was still covered in monster blood.I started to press my forehead with my right hand.

most likely this has happened since I wore this blood red jade necklace around my neck.

but.., if I put this necklace in my pocket like nico did, I don't know when there's gonna be a clue that this thing might give me..

" huh." I started to close my eyes to take a deep breath before letting it out slowly.

all eyes were watching me. They still looked nervous when I opened my eyes..

I should be able to calm this situation. Otherwise it would endanger other circumstances.Moral is very important.

" nico are you okay ?? " i said as I looked at the nico who had not yet risen to his feet from where he had fallen..

" ahh. I'm fine anyway. " replied nico who started moving while pretending to clean his pants that were not dirty.

" here let me help. "add me while reaching out to help him stand up

he looked silent for a moment while staring doubtfully at me, before grabbing my hand to get up.

" do you want to be behind..?? "

" no. no. Just let me carry this torch and be in front.. "

nico said that, but I could see his trembling hand holding the torch..

damn, why would a situation like this happen..

" then where will we go next ?? looks like there's another way from where the monster came out ?? " ask those in front of me.

for a while they were silent, as if they did not dare to express their opinions...

now I understand why my father was always angry because I was anti-social.

at a time like this I really didn't know what to do to restore their morale. I wasn't even good at making fake smiles..

" i go along with your decision vinn" said Rara answering my question with a smile on her face.

ahh.., I envy her who can still smile like that in a stressful situation.

" i was also in the vinn" continued marissa looking at me, but she seemed to avoid eye contact with me..

" a. I also come with you bro" said nico staring doubtfully at me..

" clara ?? what about your opinion ?? " me once again to clara..

" it's a difficult situation.if we move forward, we will face monsters coming from behind and from the front... "

as expected of Clara, she was able to observe the situation.

" then.. ? " just ask again

" i think we'd better head towards the monster that came out "

" humm. so it is "

" what do you think, brother ?? "

" i choose to keep moving forward "

" umm ?? "

" i understand the situation.but.., if we go in the direction of the other room..we still have to guard the back, right ?? "

" that's right. Then the strong reason big brother chose to keep going forward?? "

" instincts. "

" umm. okay then "

" you didn't pull him over ? "

" no brother. Everyone here believes in you. If it is an instinct that is believed by brother. then it is the best choice for us too... "

they believe in me so much..

I feel really bad..

we continued our steps to continue to advance to the hallway that was in front of us..

awkward.

the atmosphere became very awkward and tense as we started to continue on our way back..

they must still be thinking about me..

" nico awass !! in front of you, "a long-handed monster suddenly emerged from the darkness right in front of the walking nico with a blank look..
