Warning: The following content has some disturbing scenes in it. So if you are uncomfortable then refrain from reading.

In Dal Rae's view, what happened last year October is a small little prick buried inside her heart. She doesn't think about it often, but whenever the name "Gu Ran" comes across her mind occasionally, she feels guilty and afraid. Of course, she also feels a certain kind of excitement and thrill from hiding a big secret.

She remembers clearly that it was on October 11 of last year, the third day of the second annual ultimate CS wild combat and survival game in Province K. She and Hyun Ki, Gu Ran, and Professor Young Jae were members of the fourth team. Kang Min, Sang Won, Yoo Joon and Seulgi were main players of another team.

Despite every team had a different route and mission, there were many participants at the time. But Gu Ran, this beautiful girl, had attracted many gazes of the male players on the first day of the competition. Dal Rae remembers that in the first two nights, every time they completed their missions, there would be male players coming and trying to converse with Gu Ran. But Gu Ran was...how should she say it? She always had a sweet smile on her face as if she was a bit shy, but the way she talked and moved made her seem easy going as if she could have a chat with anyone.

With her combo of looks and personality, she was the perfect goddess in all men's eyes. But Dal Rae, who shared a tent with her, thought that she was fake and wanted the attention. Even whenever Hyun Ki came over to look for Dal Rae and saw Gu Ran, he would be mesmerized by Gu Ran's beauty. When the three of them chatted, he would be unlike his usual self; he would proactively make conversations as if he wanted to show off himself.

As a result, Dal Rae despised Gu Ran. She wanted to find a way to make Gu Ran fall. But Gu Ran was very considerate, so it was hard to find mistakes. Sometimes, Dal Rae would make sarcastic comments or say provocative things, but Gu Ran would just smile and shrug it off. This made Dal Rae feel even more resentful.

Later on, she finally found an opportunity.

In the morning that day, she deliberately took Gu Ran's compass and map from her backpack. The mountain area was complicated, so without these tools, it was impossible to walk back outside. She just wanted Gu Ran to suffer some hardships like tripping over, starving for a few hours, or getting bitten by a snake. But who knew that at nighttime, when everyone had returned, she never came back.

Hyun Ki and the other guys in the team were feeling anxious, "The area is complicated, and there are mud slides on the mountain too. I heard that someone fell into the river and died last year. If Gu Ran is lost, she'll be in great danger."

It was then that Dal Rae started to panic, but she didn't dare to tell anyone that she had stolen Gu Ran's compass and map. She followed everyone and searched for Gu Ran all night long. Due to the guiltiness she felt in her heart, she spent the most effort in searching for Gu Ran, traversing farther into the mountain area than anyone else.

It was at a very isolated area with dense trees that she and Hyun Ki spotted Kang Min, Yoo Joon, and Sang Won gang raping Gu Ran.

The moon was very bright that day, with stars blanketing the sky. The shiny stars reflecting on the river's surface look like pieces of jade floating in the water. Shining on her fair white and fragile body, it reflected a kind of bright yet dim shimmer.

Hyun Ki and Dal Rae were flabbergasted. They felt as if their hearts were pounding so hard that they would jump out of their chests any minute; they didn't know if it was because they were nervous, scared, or too anxious.

Kang Min was raping her at the moment. He had her pressed against a tree. lifting both of her legs up with his arms. Sang Won and Yoo Joon were standing on each side, holding her arms, preventing her from breaking free.
