Chapter 165
Baek Ae-young unwrapped her legs and released Seo Jihyuk’s arms that she had been restraining. On closer inspection, both Seo Jihyuk and Baek Ae-young were soaked up to their thighs in seawater. It seemed they had gone down to the bottom of the stairs, shouting, before being caught by others and forcibly brought up. Seo Jihyuk spoke in a dejected voice.
“Then where are they?”
“I don’t know. Since they’re not in the dormitory, let’s go back to the escape pod port as we agreed beforehand and wait for the team leader to bring some news.”
Baek Ae-young said while rotating her ankle and knee that she had strained. I asked Seo Jihyuk, who looked anxious.
“Have team members disappeared?”
“Yes. Our team’s deputy leader and Jihyun are missing. Lee Jihyun. The prettiest and most angelic girl in this godforsaken place has disappeared. …Doctor, are you sure there was no one in the rooms? Maybe the wardrobe wasn’t secured properly and fell on someone, or you missed someone hidden under a pile of blankets. They might have been hiding under a desk out of fear.”
I had scanned the rooms as I passed by, but there was no one. In my opinion, Jihyun seemed to be missing because she had left in an escape pod.
“There was no one in the dormitory. I’m certain. By the way, did you see Yoo Geum-yi on your way here?”
“No. Hey, Great White Shark.”
