Just as they were about to reach the first line of trees, a rather strange, high pitched sound broke out into the forest. It was something between the song of a bird and the whistle of a man.
As soon as he heard it, Jun stopped and looked up towards the tree tops. This caused the entire group to halt its movements.
Jung-Hee leaned against Hyun and they both waited in apprehension.
While Jun was listening intently, Yu Yeong came closer, stopping at Jun's side.
"Is that Ha-Yun?" Yu Yeong asked in a low voice.
"Mn." Jun nodded slowly. His eyebrows were furrowed. "I gave him a mission and it appears he's finished it.
"What mission?" Yu Yeong inquired quietly.
But Jun didn't reply. Instead, he continued walking. He was the first to enter the thick forest. The others slowly followed after him. No one spoke a word, the silence growing thicker and more stifling as they advanced through the trees.
