“My name is Choi Hye-rin. I’m a junior. I’m inside the kitchen. There are a lot of kids still alive. Help us. There’s not much battery left. We’re inside the kitchen where there’s not much water. Anyone seeing this, please help us. There are a lot of us still alive. About fourteen of us are still here.”
“Guys, I’m scared. We’re really alive. Please let them know we’re alive. There’s also Minju and Semee here with me. I’m sure there are others like us. Please tell the teacher or other rescued kids about us. We have no idea what’s going on. Please. If this ends up being my last text, know that I love you all and want to thank you. I hope we can meet again after being rescued.”
