MYNE (The Last Guardian Cat) KOOKMIN
Chapter 1

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Is everything ready?"

"Have it been, but. are you sure all these new members are coming?"

A question rang out, making a burly young man with a tattoo filled his arm divert his attention who was closing the zipper of his mountain bag. His head turned, looking at a young man with tan skin looking at him with a doubtful look on his face. He snorted softly, "They all want to come along, and they are also sure to be able to take care of themselves regardless of the supervision we always do"

The slow clap he made to the young man's shoulder, "Believe yourself, this is not your first time bringing a new child to climb, Kim Mingyu.. Now make an announcement to everyone gather in the field"

"Ready Chief!" He exclaimed with his head nodding and a resolute face that was back patched. Kim Mingyu, the sober-named young man who spoke to the chairman, took his toa and lit a brief siren before giving notice to all the members gathered in the middle of the field.

During the day, precisely in a field of Private University that is quite famous in South Korea now seen a group of students with brown Organization vest is assembled neatly lined with some people who stand right in front of them.

MAPALA or Student Lovers of Nature is one of the Student Activity Unit (SME) which is so in demand that this Organization is a place for students to do activities in the wild, contributing to the community, and, and care about the preservation of the surrounding environment. 

And this time right on the anniversary of the formation of the 10th Mapala SME at BIGHIT University, HIT MAPALA held climbing and camping activities for 3 days and 3 nights right at the top of Mount Seorak, Indonesia, one of the highest mountains in South Korea is located in Gangwon province, east of South Korea.

Usually, who will participate in this activity are only a few important people such as managers or old members (senior) and some new members who are willing and courageous. But it seems that for this year, all new members have so high courage and burning spirit that everyone immediately scrambled to write their names after the announcement of the activity was spread. Participants who usually never reach the lift of 20 are now even missed far to penetrate up to 40 participants plus the managers so that the total who will join the climb as much as 75 pairs of feet.

Knowing this certainly makes the managers and coaches happy and proud of the spirit of participating from new members. However, behind the pleasure of course there are concerns where more and more participants then security and other things must also be added and improved.

Therefore, the, Christian Jeon or known as Jeon Ian as the chairman of HIT MAPALA who is now running his leadership in the second period must try hard to think about improving security and other things to contact and ask help some alumni who are fortunately willing. Not to forget, he also had to try hard to force Jeon Jungkook, he said, the younger brother who served as a representative but so rarely participated in activities because he was lazy is now forced to participate and perform his mandatory role as vice chairman and become the person in charge of security.

"Jeon Jungkook.report about the security structure that has been prepared"

Jungkook nodded then opened the small note from his vest pocket.

"4 The security team has been prepared, Team 1 consists of 5 members led by Bambam will stand guard in the front row, and the, Team 2 consists of 10 members led by Wonho to stand guard along the right and left side of the row, Team 3 I will lead and the five of us will stand guard in the back row. And finally Team 4 consisting of 5 people will stand guard at the top with the medical and consumption team. They left 15 minutes ago.."

He nodded in satisfaction at Jungkook's detailed and structured explanation. The sister is indeed reliable even though sometimes so annoying by always behaving arbitrarily.

"All right then.. We have provided 2 buses to take us all to the location. Dino, Verno, and Yugyeom will set you up.."

The three names prepared certainly immediately nodded and carried out their duties. Now 40 participants have been divided into 2 parts to then be directed to enter the bus that has been provided. Some of the organizers who are still in place are now divided and blend to fill empty places in the bus, some are standing along the hallway even at the bus door. Ian and Jungkook, who are now parting ways on both buses, can be seen sitting near the back door of the first bus with Taehyung next to him.

"I was still shocked when I saw you at the meeting of the management of the activity" Taehyung said by sucking a vape in his hand and exhaling smoke with the aroma of milk coffee from the side of his lips.

Jungkook snorted, "i was even more shocked when you with your stupid face walked into the room holding the crazy cat" said Jungkook, who successfully invited laughter that exploded from Taehyung.

"Huhahah! where do I know that you will be present.Hahahh vow it is an event that must always be remembered. A Jeon Jungkook, a burly and pattoo man, the younger brother of Jeon Ian, the chairman of the two-period HIT Mapala, yelled at a woman's kayak and jumped hanging from the door frame! HAHAHAHA"

Taehyung's laughter that boomed successfully provoked some people to laugh softly when they heard the incident experienced by the vice chairman who was so fierce second after the chairman, Jeon Ian.

Jungkook sizzled with his eyes glancing sharply at some people who turned and laughed softly so they suddenly cleared their throat slowly and returned to face forward out of fear.

"Stop laughing before I throw you in here" he hissed with a hand that had gripped tightly onto Taehyung's shirt collar.

Taehyung snorted, "You're not that exciting! Huh!" he stepped while jerking off Jungkook's grip on his collar.

...----------------...

30 Minutes passed and they finally reached the location. After registering and reporting to the mountaineering guards, they began to climb after previously listening to a series of opening remarks and directions from the mountain guards, prayers, absences, and others, as well as the last singing yel-yel 'HIT Mine Mapala' and the direction of the General.

They began to move up with a planned formation where the chairman, the secretary, and, and team 1 security will lead the line followed by the participants and 10 people security team 2 who will line 5 on the right side and 5 on the left side, and finally the representative, Jeon Jungkook, and 5 people Security Team 3 closed the guard line at the last row. Taehyung who belongs to the 3rd security team is now walking right next to Seungcheol with Jungkook behind them.

"Compose a little brown sugar if you feel thirsty, do not drink and do not chew anything else"

"Nldee..."

"Go on. I'll help you from here, what do you bring? why is your bag so heavy?" Vernon asked who was walking behind a girl with his hands helping to lift and push the girl's bag.

"wha? I don't know, I just bring whatever I think is important"

15 minutes have passed, the trip was felt to begin to drain with a body that feels heavy as the route is increasingly uphill. Everyone began to work hand in hand, helping each other for those who began to find it difficult to walk. Jungkook who was behind once did not escape exerting energy when a girl was seen starting to run out of breath and felt unable to continue walking. He decided to lift the bag from behind and push the girl's body so that there was no need to expend too much energy with Taehyung helping to hold the girl's arm, one other hand did the same as Jungkook, pushing the body of the other girl in front of him to more youthful runs.

Toa sirens sounded short before Ian's voice could be heard from the toa.

"Consideration, in front there is muddy ground. Pay attention to the ground that you will tread and hold hands with each other, Do not slip and make sure your friends are not left behind"

After hearing that, everyone became more alert with their hands holding each other. No matter who was next to or behind him, both women and men all immediately held hands following obediently the orders of the Chairman who had great responsibility during the activity.

...----------------...

30 Minutes passed, now they have all arrived at the post break which is available with some climbing tour officers in charge of guarding. They also decided to rest for 5 minutes and did not do so to ascertain whether the existing members were still the same as the beginning. After making sure everyone was able to continue the journey, they also returned to move with the same guarding formation as the beginning.

"Rain.." cried a girl with her head looking up. His palm looked up to feel the point by point of falling water, so that soon the water stub began to feel more and more quickly.

"We stop first, then everyone quickly put on the raincoat you prepared before the rain started!"

Quickly, they rushed a little in a hurry to open the bag and put on a uniform raincoat that had been provided and buttoned it tightly. After that, by joining each other and helping each other again they continue the journey slowly and carefully due to the land that began slippery due to rain.

"Damn it. flood." said Ian when he saw the flow of water flowing along the route they passed. The increasingly heavy rain also makes the visibility is also getting thinner. Quickly but calmly, he circled his gaze around trying to find a safer alternative route.

The siren went back and he said, "Follow me, hold on tight and watch your steps!" he said in the toa then stepped a little turn leading the line towards the surface of the soil slightly rocky to avoid the flow of water that has great potential to slip.

The journey to the top of the mountain feels heavy with many obstacles and obstacles that must be passed. Slipping, out of breath, to be bitten by animals melata blood suckers must be passed by each pair of legs that struggle to get to the destination. No exception Jeon Jungkook, the young man is now holding a girl who is limp due to fatigue and legs that were sucked by an animal named Leech on his back with a bag that moved to the front of the chest, and his back is, one hand the other remained active pushing a young man in front who looked already hard to walk. Soobin, who was originally in front of Taehyung and Seungcheol, who were carrying each other, was exhausted, and now moved back to behind Jungkook to help hold or slightly lift the buttocks of the girl to reduce the burden of Jungkook. Jungkook who had glanced when Soobin moved backwards behind him also raised a spoon of his lips.

"Thank you. keep your steps, don't fall down"

Soobin nodded, "Well.. Hyeong-nim!" he shouted a little.

Second by second, minute by minute, until hour by hour oun passed. a total of 3 hours of travel had passed and now they managed to reach the top just when the sky was dark with the moon already showing itself.

One by one began to fall down to lay themselves on the wet ground with breath that felt stinging.

"Hahh. hahh.. Damn, my breath is like passing by, no one stops to the lungs" exclaimed Beomgyu with his eyes closed. Some people around also seem to do the same thing, regardless of the rain that continues to pour their bodies.

Ian who looks also breathless but still has the energy because he is used to doing things like this also walked towards the medical team and consumption.

"Check one by one, make sure to take care of all who should get treatment. There was a member of the man who almost fainted named Nikki at 3 o'clock, and there was a limp because a lot of blood from leeches not far next to him"

The medical team nodded obediently and split up to check on each member. One by one members are now receiving treatment and have begun to be allowed to consume beverages and food that has been provided. The rain that still falls hard does not hamper those who enjoy food after 3 hours of a long journey.

Ian stepped closer to Seokjin, the Consumption Responsible who was distributing ion drinks into several bottles. Seeing Ian coming closer, an ion drink bottle stretched out and was immediately greeted by the young man. Without waiting for long, after the bottle cap is open the fresh liquid Ion enhancer flows soaking the dry esophagus in large sips.

"Hahh, your work is the best" he exclaimed with a satisfied look.

Seokjin nodded with an active hand stirring something in the pot to keep it warm. "Don't tell them to build a tent? the rain seems to be getting worse" he asked.

Ian shook his head, wet hair he put his hands back. "Let them rest for 10 minutes. I also have to make sure this place is suitable to accommodate some tents for 75 people—" he said before his eagle eyes caught the figure of the younger brother who walked in tandem with a girl on his back. He stood up, "Yes, help him!" he exclaimed at some of the committee and medical team that had just walked over. Two committee members with one medical team immediately moved closer to Jungkook followed by Ian who walked behind. The girl who was on Jungkook's back was immediately taken over, now the young man walked into Jin's tent with his hardest breath.

"Hahh. hahh.I never thought I'd carry her this far!" jungkook exclaimed after dropping into a folding chair with his legs stretched straight forward. His head looked up with closed eyes. His mouth is open because it tries to scavenge the air supply that feels just passing through it without filling each alveolar space.

"Drink this first, then drink warm ginger"

Jungkook opened his eyes, a bottle outstretched from his tattooed hand. His eyes looked at Ian who was standing in front of him and then took the bottle to be opened and immediately gulped fresh liquid like a man in fidelity.

"You rest first, after that help wake up tent—" Ian turned his gaze to Seokjin, "You guys checked this place? how many tents?" ask her to Seokjin who nodded.

"Already, with our two tents and the medical team, still fit 10 tents with the contents of 5 or 6 tent. But, avoid the west side because the rocks and wet soil are prone to landslides"

Ian nodded in satisfaction, "Okay.." His feet stepped out of the consumption tent with the toa in his hands. The siren toa he turned on briefly to focus everyone's attention on him.

"Consider everything, 10 minutes is enough for us to rest. To the committee immediately distribute 10 tents that have been prepared and all are obliged to help. Each tent can be filled up to 6 people and avoid the western area. After completion you will be divided into 10 groups that will be valid until the last day of activity. Understood?"

"MAPPING!!"

The simultaneous cries boomed, making Ian lift one corner of his lips to see the spirit of all his members who were like tireless though the heavy rain still flushed them mercilessly, "Good! the time to build a tent for 15 minutes starts from now!"

Siren toa back he lit up briefly as an omen. Make the Committee that is ready to move directly to distribute tents that are immediately welcomed by the participants to be immediately built together.

Ian stepped up to a girl who was taking notes on something in the medical team's tent, "Irene-ah, Irene-ah, group 40 participants into 10 groups and put 2 or 3 organizers into each group to be responsible" he said right after he stepped in.

"I've already shared it after hearing your announcement" Irene replied by handing over a paper placed on a board and wrapped in transparent plastic.

"It's not in vain that you answered two periods" Ian praised. He also stepped towards Mingyu who was standing while coordinating the participants who were building the tent. He handed over the name data to Mingyu who immediately turned his head and accepted it. "After 15 minutes, announce this" he ordered to the nodding Mingyu.

On the other hand, Jungkook is still sitting in the consumption tent with Seokjin who is still busy warming ginger in his panc.

"Hah.this is what makes me lazy to come along, too waste of energy"

An oddity was heard from Seokjin, "I was still shocked when you came to the meeting yesterday. This time what did he give you so willing to come along and spend all your energy on today's activities?"

Jungkook is silent, next to the corner of the lip with a small piercing attached there raised, featuring a grin on the side of his thin lips. "He gave me his favorite bike"

Seokjin rounded her eyes before a laugh exploded, "Ha?! Hahahah Ian sacrificed a lot for the sake of this activity" he exclaimed in amazement at all that the chairman of their two-period organization had done. "and you, indeed, are brash sisters.. want to help if rewarded" he continued.

Jungkook just put his shoulder around indifferently, "it was an equal pay after he forced me to remain as a representative and forced me to come along"

...----------------...

15 Minutes have passed, all participants and organizers are now gathered in the middle of 10 tents that surround. Mingyu who turned on the Sire stood as a central point in the middle to then provide information about the division of the group and who the committee responsible for each group. After the group was divided, each group split into front of their respective tents to then discuss the division of the task of finding wood before the siren sounded again, making all look towards Mingyu who was still standing in the middle this time with Jungkook next to him had already taken over the toa in hand.

"The rain is getting heavier, the search for wood for now will be too risky. It is better to all get into the tent, trim all your belongings and arrange the tent as attractive as possible. There will be a first assessment for the appearance of the tent. Understood it? anything to ask? Yeah, please"

Jungkook nodded, "Ok.. For the search for wood will be done immediately after the rain subsides. For now just turn on the emergency lights and flashlights that you have brought."

"is there anything else you want to ask?"

A hand was raised again, now from a girl standing right in front of him. "Please"

"Well, permission asks, are we not allowed to play cell phones?"

An unexpected question would be asked making Jungkook raise one of his eyebrows briefly before nodding, "of course it is, okay, but try to check if there is a signal for you to be able to open the phone for a long time"

the ruckus is now starting to be heard from some senior members who feel funny about the rhetorical question of a girl who can be sure is a new member. The girl who asked was slightly grimacing in embarrassment after being aware of her own question then nodded slowly making Jungkook chuckle along before returning to circulate the gazes to all the members before.

"I think that's enough, if there are other questions please ask the suspension of your respective groups." Jungkook nodded then handed the toa back to Mingyu who immediately took over.

"Okay guys now do your job. The assessment will be done at exactly 00!" mingyu's exclaim made everyone instantly rush over and return busy in their respective tents.

Jungkook stepped closer to one tent on his left side. It looks Taehyung is composing sandals while giving direction to his members. Taehyung who is the committee was given additional duties to be one of the 2nd group in charge with Bambam and Soobin.

"oi" called him to make Taehyung turn his head. "Come"

"he? where to?" Taehyung asked with a shrunken forehead. Didn't see Jungkook that he was busy with his tent. Maybe this crazy rabbit can invite him to ditch.

Jungkook snorted, "don't be so busy. I noticed that you only rule with your hands twirling the shoes" the reading made Taehyung immediately put on a grin. "you need to grin, the more blurred your face is.. Let's check the river"

Taehyung who heard that snorted but his head still nodded, "A moment"

After handing over some orders to his two partners and taking a flashlight, Taehyung steps up to follow Jungkook who first walks into the forest. "It just so happens that I also want to pee" he exclaimed with a run after Jungkook.

Now both of them stepped slowly along the forest in the rain that began to subside a little, either it had subsided or because it was held down by each branch of the tree. With the flashlight, the two of them split through the darkness of the forest to head towards the river that they passed a few minutes ago.

"Are you sure you want to cross?" Taehyung asked to look at Jungkook who had entered the river water kakinyan. Visible river currents are a little heavy because the rain factor makes Taehyung become hesitant and a little afraid. While Jungkook who had dipped his legs just nodded.

"Yes, I have to ensure a safe route to find wood. Wh why? you scared?"

Of course Taehyung shook his head after hearing a mocking question directed towards him. He stepped back and dipped his feet following Jungkook who had walked across the river.

Grugh...

Taehyung.

'Sial. water makes my bowel movements feel bigger'

"Yes yes Jungkook-ah..!" Call her. Next to his hand held a stomach that suddenly felt wrapped around. "Jungkook-ah!!"

"What the hell?!" yelling Jungkook who had reached the end, he saw Taehyung who hastily walked after him through the river. "Oi slow down.. Did you slip to death?!"

Taehyung totally ignored, now the goal is a large stone on his left side. "You wait here for a minute and watch me!"

Jungkook frowned, looking at Taehyung who disappeared behind a rock, "Why what?!" tanyanya was a little screaming.

"You're Berak.. I swear I can't stand it!!!" Taehyung's shout successfully made Jungkook snort and turn his face when the sound of 'broothh' sounded loud from behind the rock.

Jungkook spread his gaze throughout the forest with a flashlight that followed him to see the surrounding conditions. Before long the noisy sound of rushing water came from the right direction.

He quickly pointed the flashlight into the stream that came from above.

"Damn!" muttered. It looks like the flow of water is coming from the top. "Fucking Flood— yes Kim Taehyung hurry up!"

"Patience, my stomach is wrapped around this aarghh for a while"

Jungkook's eyes were increasingly glaring to realize the flood in the river was now increasingly swift, his eyes looking across where the location where they camped before turning back to the rock where Taehyung made the call of nature.

"Oi!!! the flood is getting heavier, we won't be able to cross again later!!"

"HA?! FLOODED?!!" taehyung shouted in shock as his head turned to look at the stream that was too heavy and brown through the stone. "Dam-ch!"

he quickly cleaned himself and tidied his pants. His feet stepped closer to Jungkook who was busy looking for wood. "Hold this! just in case not to slip" A fairly large wooden branch was thrown at him which fortunately he could catch properly.

"walk in front of me, find a safe footing. I'll stand guard behind you" Jungkook ordered that Taehyung immediately embraced.

The two of them slowly walked down the stream that slapped their bodies mercilessly.

"TOO SWIFT!! JESUS, WE CAN GET SWEPT AWAY!!"

"STAY ON!! WE'LL BE HERE SOON!!"

Continuing to walk regardless of hands and temples injured by falling and drifting if not held by Jungkook, Taehyung continued to step trying to get to the end of the river.

Brugh!!

"Akhh. We shouldn't have come here!!" Umbat Taehyung when his body slipped back and had to stumble the river rocks.

"Don't keep swearing, damn it!! walk quickly! The river is getting bigger! I can just drift!!"

Hearing that, Taehyung also collected his strength and stepped back until finally reached the end of the river. "Finally arrived.. Come on Jungkook Jungk—?!!"

His eyes bulged, right after his feet stepped on the riverbank and turned around, the conscious Jungkook who had always been behind him could not find his presence. His body froze with wide eyes. His heart pounded quickly when he realized the situation that was now happening.

fuckin...

"JEON JUNGKOOK!!!"

"fucking.. aishhh Kim Taehyung you— aishhhh!!!" his eyes circulated in panic with a flashlight directed into the stream. Trying to find a sign will Jungkook who tries to survive at least by holding on to one of the stones. But after a few minutes he watched every corner of the river, the presence of a friend still not found making the desire to cry attacked him with a heart that pounded painfully.

"haaishhh." - Now with tears streaming down his wet face. With a trembling body he stepped quickly, running up to where they were gathered.

"PLEASE!!! HELP!!!"

...----------------...

A shout sounded from the direction of the forest, some people who were near the forest immediately turned their heads. Including Minggyu and Yugyeom who were going around checking the tent.

"Taehyung-ah!!" mingyu exclaimed in shock when she saw Taehyung run until he finally fell face down in front of her.

"Please!! Help me!!! Jungkooks.. Jungkook!!"

Mingyu quickly squatted down helping Taehyung get up with a few people now instantly gathered around them. Yugyeom who saw Taehyung's condition immediately shouted to the medical team, "Call the medical team here! Someone is hurt!"

While Mingyu, seeing Taehyung who was stricken with panic tried to calm down.

"Yes Kim Taehyung! Calm down. breathe—"

"Youngkook!! Help u!! My fault.. Jungkook!!!"

"Yak Kim Taeh—"

"Police!! We have to report to the police!!! my cellphone.. WHERE'S MY PHONE!!"

THE PLAQUE!

Taehyung was speechless with his body frozen. A loud slap hovering on his cheek made him realize, his manic staring at the nanar towards Mingyu who was looking at him sharply.

"Silence..! Take a deep breath and tell me what's going on?" mingyu said after calming Taehyung by slapping him.

Taehyung closed his eyes. The tears came back as he tried to take his breath in. "Jungkooks.. "

His eyelids opened again with tears flowing more and more, "Jeon Jungkook is missing. he was washed away by the river flood" he said making all eyes look wide in shock.

"WHAT?!"

...----------------...

Ian who had just exited one of the tents with Wonho after checking the readiness of the tent immediately turned his head as a noisy sound rang out from the swarm of people gathered on the side near the forest. His feet stepped closer then walked to the source where the people gathered easily as all the members immediately moved aside when they saw the chairman step closer.

"What's going on?!" Ian asked with a frown looking at Taehyung who was sitting limp with injured conditions and a torn raincoat in some parts. His eyes turned to Mingyu, "Kim Mingyu.. Reporting!" his titath to Mingyu who shook as his second representative.

"Chairman report.. Vice Jeon is missing. He went to the river with Taehyung, but he disappeared"

The deg!

"How— HOW CAN?!" Ian snapped unstoppably, his eyes looking sharply at Taehyung who was looking down with a trembling body, "Kim Taehyung.. Explain what happened!"

"I'm sorry, because the river's raining is too heavy, we're both stuck there and I.. I was so focused on myself that I didn't realize that Jeon's deputy was no longer behind me"

****-!

Ian rubbed his face rough. All the swearing almost came out of his lips before a rough breath he did when he saw Taehyung's condition, seen blood flowing mixed with rain water in the right temple of the young man.

"Hahh. Tonight we rest. We look for Jungkook at sunrise" the final with a deep tone that seemed cold made everyone speechless, no one dared to interrupt or make the slightest sound because without explaining they already knew if the young man was in a shaken emotion.

Ian stepped away from the horde towards the consumption tent where he was to rest tonight, "Damn.. The rain is getting heavier" he said slowly when he felt the rain drops were increasingly rushing flashing parachute jackets on his body. Silently, he stepped into the tent, ignoring the anxious gazes of each pair of eyes that saw him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
