Purgatory

Purgatory - Episode 2

One summer day in Seoul.

지효

Everyone's here? Let's go.

사나

I'm so excited~ Let's go to the beach!

다현

Oh yeah!

Twice, who have been busy with many schedules recently, were given a long-awaited vacation.

So, all the members promised to go to the beach together and gathered at a park in Seoul, the place they had agreed to meet today.

나연

Why are you guys talking over there? Get on quickly.

Then, at Nayeon's words, the members started to get into the van one by one.

나연

It's been a while since I've driven a car, so I'm a little nervous... I borrowed the car from the company, so if I cause an accident, it'll be a disaster...

정연

I feel uneasy about this... Will we be able to get to Haeundae safely? Haha

나연

Hey! Even so, I got both a Class 1 and 2 driver's license!

지효

Then what do you do, it's a wardrobe license.

지효

When was the last time you drove?

나연

that..

나연

Hmm... around last fall?

사나

Me... Nanit..?

Sana was startled by the word "one year" and started speaking in Japanese.

채영

This is a bit unsettling...?

쯔위

I know..

The van driven by Nayeon departed, carrying the anxious youngest members.

Let's drive along the road for a while...

The initially noisy interior of the van soon became quiet.

Before they knew it, the rest of the members, except for Nayeon, who was driving, and Jihyo, who was in the passenger seat, were all unable to overcome their drowsiness and fell asleep.

나연

Jihyo, how long has it been since we last went on a trip like this? Aside from the trips we took for filming.

지효

Hmm... I think it's been almost a year.

지효

Especially since our debut, it's the first time all the members have gathered together and gone on a date, even though it's not a shoot.

나연

Come to think of it, that's true...

As we were having such a casual conversation,

The van carrying Twice soon approached its destination.

...

Near Busan OO Pension.

After a long drive, the van finally arrived near its destination.

But for some reason, I can't see any road that would allow a car to enter or exit the pension.

Nayeon, flustered, flips through the map in the Busan tourist guidebook near the pension.

나연

How do I get there?

나연

Hmm... I was here earlier...

Nayeon glances at the map for a moment and mutters.

Mina, who had woken up a while ago, watches the scene with anxious eyes.

...

Kkieeeeeek-

나연

what?

나연

First, I need to turn this way and look for the entrance to the pension.

Nayeon turned the steering wheel as if drawn by something and drove the van towards the forest.

미나

'Something feels strange...'

미나

'I just heard a squeaking sound and a white flash in my eyes, and then something happened...'

미나

'Is it because I'm in a bad mood...'

But no matter how much I try to recall what just happened, I feel strange, even though it clearly happened right before.

I have such a vague memory that I can't even remember if something like that happened.

The more I try to think about it, the more I feel like something is suffocating me.

I gave up trying to remember what had just happened.

And so, Twice's van disappeared as if it was being sucked deeper into the forest.

.....

...

..

"Guys! Wake up!!"

...

나연

Mina! Wake up the kids!!

미나

Uh...uh...

Mina also just woke up and started shaking the members next to her, trying to come to her senses with half-open eyes.

But it's a bit strange...

미나

'When did I fall asleep..?'

He clearly didn't look sleepy at all, so I couldn't understand how he fell asleep so quickly.

But for now, I decided to put that thought aside for later.

First, Mina decides to wake up all the members.

...

Then, one by one, the members began to wake up, rubbing their sleepy eyes or stretching.

지효

Sister, what the hell is going on?

Jihyo was the first to speak.

The rest of the members also had a hard time understanding the situation at first due to the drowsiness that was creeping in.

As I began to understand the situation, the car soon began to commotion.

나연

Ah... I don't really know what's going on... I thought I was definitely on the right track...

나연

I suddenly came to my senses and found myself in a place like this...

Nayeon said in a tearful voice, looking very embarrassed.

정연

What the heck is going on..

사나

Can we go out..?

At Sana's words, the car fell into silence again.

채영

First, let's call 112...!

Chaeyoung's words were the best idea in the current situation.

All the members agreed.

But soon I realized.

I couldn't call 112.

To be exact, maybe because it was in the forest, the cell phone network didn't work.

...

For a long time, everyone was silently despairing.

미나

I'll get out of the car and check around here.

Everyone was shocked by Mina's shocking words.

다현

...Get out of here...and outside..?

미나

Anyway, I can't use my phone here, so I don't think anything will work out.

미나

I'd rather run along this road for about 10 minutes and check if the road is blocked.

미나

I'll come right back and tell you if the road is blocked or not.

미나

If the road isn't blocked, I think if I keep driving along this road, I'll eventually get out of this forest.

Everyone nodded.

Then Tzuyu suddenly stood up and said.

쯔위

But it's dangerous for Mina to go alone, so I'll go with you.

Then all the members looked at Tzuyu with surprised eyes.

지효

Are you okay..?

쯔위

Here... this forest is so magical... I want to go for a walk.

쯔위

You were in the car too long.

쯔위

And it's true that I'm worried about Mina.

지효

..Then if anything happens, contact me right away... No, right... I can't...

지효

If anything happens, come back right away.

나연

Don't get hurt...

Nayeon was so anxious that she thought that this whole situation was her fault.

I just prayed for my younger siblings' safety.

미나

Tzuyu, let's go

쯔위

huh.

After finishing speaking, Mina and Tzuyu got out of the car and closed the door.

A voice was heard again through the crack in the door that was about to close.

사나

You must come back!

모모

cheer up!

It was the members' support.

Thanks to that, Mina somehow felt better.

미나

'thank you. '

With gratitude in her heart, Mina promised herself that she would definitely return.

Tzuyu thought the same thing.

But when I passed the car like that

Mina immediately felt something strange.

미나

'On a dark night like this, especially in the forest, if there are car lights like this, flies will flock to it...'

미나

'It's a forest, let alone bugs, and I can't even hear the chirping of crickets or grasshoppers...'

미나

'It's definitely strange.'

미나

'Is this really the world I used to live in...?'

That was when.

쯔위

Sister, aren't you coming? Why are you just standing there blankly?

He was walking ahead, but he didn't hear any footsteps behind him.

It was Tzuyu's cry as she found Mina still standing blankly in front of the car.

미나

Oh, sorry, I'll go right away.

Only then did Mina take a step forward.

'however.. '

미나

'Why did I suggest we take this forest path first?'

미나

'The words just came out of my mouth without me knowing, but I didn't notice until now.'

미나

'Was Nayeon like that too?'

미나

'As if I was forced to make a choice...'

But since the matter had already been decided, it was difficult to take back what had been said, whether intentionally or not.

Although she felt uneasy, Mina slowly walked into the forest with heavy steps.

...

.....

...

..

미나

'Looking back now...'

미나

'Going into that forest was the first thing I did in this matter.'
