Losing your brain cells was actually normal in Bighit Academy from what you've seen so far.

Because two of their students in your bus at the next morning looks like they were already losing it as they sang kid's song repeatedly.

"Tayo tayo tayo tayo gaegujaengi kkom, beoseunungbungbung, ssingssingssing, dallineun ge neomu joha -"

"Shut up, Mr. Yang and Park or we will leave you on the side of the road", Mrs. Nam warns Jay and the boy who he apparently was bestfriends with.

They've been standing up from the seats on the back and singing songs in order to annoy the ones trying to sleep. One of them happens to be you who already has a problem to begin with in the person you managed to share the seat with.

"That's why you're so boring", Jay mumbles, and then sat back down next to this Jungwon.

"They don't want us to spice things up a bit here", he said, smiling and you were watching for a second.

He had been in your dorm the night before along the japanese boy named Ni-ki. They only offered greetings before fighting for the pizzas being delivered. The rest of the welcoming party is not for you to tell.

It's theirs regarding the fact you locked the bedroom all night and it was the longest night you've ever had because the music was loud as it vibrated through the walls. The unwanted visitors were addition to the struggle you have when trying to sleep.

As a payback for it, you didn't open the door to Heeseung even if he knocked a lot of times and by the time the morning comes, you opened the door to find him sleeping by the couch while the whole living room is a complete mess.

At least you had fun in kicking the pillow under Sunghoon's head after seeing his sleeping figure behind the couch. It earned you nothing but profanities, that was worth it, though.

And now you think the idea of the camp would not be so bad if he's present.

There's Jake and Kai sitting beside each other, talking together about their previous camping. Heeseung is sitting on his own, taking up a lot of space, so that he could keep his leg up on the seat and sleep.

The one you ended up sharing the seat was heavily cursing all the luck he had. Due to the camp's attendance being mandatory, Mrs. Nam basically dragged Sunghoon out of his dorm room at the last minute.

So here he was at your side, sulking from the start of you getting the place facing the window. If anyone were to look at him, they would laugh because it looks like all the happiness was drain out of him.

"Still okay there, child?", you decided to ruin his mood even more.

"Ma'am, may I please exchange a seat with someone else here?", he raised his hand suddenly, taking everyone's attention.

Mrs. Nam placed a hand on her forehead before rubbing it and asked, "What seems to be the problem, Mr. Park?"

"I can't stand this witch here", he said without a pause.

Boys will be boys, of course. Some of them laughed at it while Jake is a different case. He's looking at your direction now with a plan on his eyes. You were sure you don't want to hear it.

You rolled your eyes at Sunghoon as he waited for Mrs. Nam and he was smirking, "Well, it's not as if we can all be a celebrity here"

"And why would you want to be a celebrity?", Jay asked, speaking up for the first time from the back and managing to divert all the attention to himself, "Everyone knows here that Sunghoon is only grouching to get your attention"

The smirk fell from Sunghoon's lips as he turned to face Jay, starting argument between the two of them and thanks to that, you were safe from the eyes of the boys as it watched them in turn.

You watched on in amusement as well. For some reason, the two can be made out as two brothers arguing. Jay is the eldest and Sunghoon is the youngest.

With your eyes flickering betweem the two of them, it was almost enjoyable but you were stunned when Sunghoon wink at you from the corner of his eye.

Well, that was new, but I'm sure I'm not liking where this is going, you think before looking away at last.

═════════•°•⚠•°•═════════

You don't know how far the camping site but because of the fact that most people in the bus was already sleeping, you were going to say that you'd been out on the road for a while now.

Yet you can't even get a wink of sleep no matter how you want to.

Sunghoon made sure of that as he never removed his eyes from you after his argument with Jay. For some, this could be a coincidence and maybe he's looking at the window, but you knew it wasn't the case.

Now you weren't conceited enough to state that Sunghoon had purposely choose the seat beside you. It was just that he was so close and he was staring so hard, it's creeping you out.

If his plan is to scare you, it's not working.

The first time you had caught him watching is earlier, you were sure that it wasn't you that he was looking at. It made no sense for him to be looking at your unlovely face, you keep telling that to yourself.

In the middle of getting out to a rest stop and joining Heeseung to buy a snacks, you went to pick a lemon drink from the beverage section and meet his eyes over the freezing mirror of the drink's freezer.

He didn't look away as you held his gaze.

"Okay, you look like a ghost trying too hard to scare me", you told him at that time, but he just smiled and you had been forced to look away as you left him there.

After that you were listening to Jake on how it will be good to fish before the sunset and so you hadn't felt the heavy weight of his stare. But from the moment you stood up to help Mrs. Nam in collecting the names of the boys in the bus, you met his gaze and felt the weight of his stare all too much.

It wasn't unnerving. More so it was kind of annoying.

There had been something in his gaze that was found in many boys like Heeseung.

Park Sunghoon was planning something, you can feel it from the very core of your bones.

You cleared your head of those thoughts once you caught sight of the bus driving through a forest area.

"Boys, we're here! Wake up!", Mrs. Nam shouted as she clapped her hands and getting everyone to slowly moves from their seat.

"Finally, some nature to see", Jake cheers up from his seat, nearly bursting out in happiness.

"I'm only here because we could get away from the classes!", Kai yelled and the very sound of it makes your ears hurt.

Jay who was already putting Jungwon before him made a remark, "Let's burn the assignment papers tonight!"

"We should include the annoying tutors as well in the fire", Sunghoon added.

But you were quick to spout a statement for him, "And now who are you calling a witch when you were saying that?"

There was that frown again that seemed to be permanently etched on his face, "This is why I hate girls", he muttered.

"I feel the same, don't worry", you replied, not knowing why all you have with him is insulting each other back and forth.

Quickly, knowing that he'll retort, you poked him in the side, knowing that it was the most ticklish part for everybody.

You turned back looking at the front in satisfaction as you saw the corner of Sunghoon's mouth curved upward for the slightest of seconds.

The bus was put to a stop in the parking lot beside the others and you looked around to see the place you will be staying at for a week.

When you finally steps out of the bus with your bag in your hand, it was to see everybody was at a large opening. The sky is a bright color of blue like the ones you see in painting and there is a lake on one side, facing the structure to what you fear is the bungee jumping's area.

But on the other side, there was other buildings and facing the other activities available for everyone to try.

"Right, students. The counsellors for each section would be waiting at the long tables inside the cafeteria and there's a sign saying where you needed to seat. Please make your way towards the cafeteria immediately", Mrs. Nam says before leaving for the other sections waiting for her.

"I'll go to the ones I'll be tutoring then", Heeseung says as Jungwon turns to walk with him in another direction.

This leaves you in your section's company, but you didn't mind them as you take the moment to look around the place while everyone is already heading for the cafeteria.

There is just a field of green grass everywhere and it was surrounded by a forest where the wooden walls standing by in one area tells you that it was for the paintball shooting games.

"Hey girl?", Jay chuckles as he appears in your side, and then throws his arms over your shoulder, "Let's go make all the boys jealous in that hall", he stated and then walks you into the cafeteria.

The cafeteria itself is a big wooden building and it reminds you of the houses you see in the Hollywood movies. Mostly, in thriller movies where a killer would discover a camping site and kills all the people there one by one.

Jay sat you down at the table where your classmates is already there, Jake, Kai and Sunghoon. Somehow, the ice skater managed to look soulless, as though he's making a point that he doesn't want to be here.

"Oh, come on, lighten up, dude", Kai said once he noticed Sunghoon's mood, "This is going to be fun"

"My idea of fun is lazing out all day long in my dorm", Sunghoon sighs as he propped up a hand under his chin.

"Allow him to be his happy self, that's normal for him", Jake then said, nodding at you as if you wanted to know.

You don't want to admit it, but you should've stayed at the dorm as well or even at your home in order to complain at your mom if possible.

Mrs. Nam insisted at you that you should come and make some friends, but who needs friends when you can replaced it from the happiness a food can bring?

Two people goes up to sit with your group. It must be the counsellors, you think.

"Welcome to the Hybe Camp! My name is Jackson", says the man with the cheeriest smile you could ever hear for today, "and this is Dahyun", he points to a pale but beautiful girl in his side, "and we will be your counsellors for the whole week!"

Jackson is quite muscular and he must be a whole ball of fun, he was literally vibrating with positivity. The girl named Dahyun smiles and waves at all of you. She is really pretty and has a pale skin with a bleached platinum blonde hair that's put in a two braids which reminds you Elsa from Frozen.

"You will all start by setting up the tents first, and then everyone needs to search for woods for the bonfire which is the main activity to the night", Jackson began, counting it off from his fingers.

"We'll do barbeques after or anything you should want to eat, just send your leader to us to give us the list of your order", Dahyun adds with a smile.

She is the only pretty sight in this place, you thought, looking at her mostly than to Jackson.

"Each pair of you must come and grab tents from the storeroom before it runs out", Jackson immediately gestured to where the other sections was already clearing out of their tables.

Jay who was sitting beside you turns to you with a questioning look, "Wanna share with me?", he asked but Jake interrupted him.

"No, she'll be with me", he stated then stood up, expecting for you to do the same.

"I'll be with Kai. At least I have a decency with me to not sleep with that", Sunghoon pointedly says before he stood up and left with a chuckling Kai.

Sometimes, you couldn't help but wonder how, in the name of your patience, you were able to keep your tounge to yourself and not lashes after him.

But then again - you were naturally mature. He is not.

You were still deciding what to do when Mrs. Nam takes you to the side while Jake and Jay waited stubbornly from the table.

"You are welcome to sleep alone in a tent. I made sure for your counsellors to give you one, but I'm still here to remind you, do refrain from sleeping with any of the boys", She laughs then at the look in your face, making you smile.

"Thanks Mrs. Nam for giving me a reminder. Sleeping with them is the last thing I wanted, anyway", you explained.

She nodded gratefully, "That's nice to hear. You better be careful around them since we know how boys their age can be sometimes"

"I should let you know that I hate them, Ma'am", you said making her laugh again then she walks off.

Mrs. Nam actually seems like a sweet woman and it was just too bad she has to deal with the spoiled-brat princes like the ones in your section. This is all actually coming together because from now on you will be helping her to deal with them.

And yes, you should make them feel to know their place.

"Come on, Y/N, the tents is running out!", Jake shouts as you walks towards him and Jay where they soon leads you into the area for your section.

Sunghoon and Huening Kai was at least nice enough to pick up all the tents. They were already preparing theirs by the time you arrived.

As soon as Dahyun saw you from the folding chair that she was seating at, she handed you the tent bag Mrs. Nam was talking about and you let yourself drew a smile from the corner of your mouth.

Once Jake and Jay catch onto the sight of you setting up your text next to Dahyun's, they couldn't believe it and let out a groan in unison.

What did they expect? For you to freely volunteers yourself to sleep with them?

Just the thought of it makes you sick.
