PART 70

"I'm going to pack right now!!!" Hyein exclaimed.

The girls scurried off to pack their bags.

"I've already told Eunwoo to come here though.." Haruto said. "Can he tag along?"

"Sure," I sighed.

"Alrighttt," he said as he pulled his phone out to update his friend.

"Come on, let's go pack too." I said.

I went up and packed mostly warm clothes and essentials.

I saw that everyone else was already finished packing.

"This is going to be so fun!!" Hanni said.

I looked and saw Haerin bringing the tomato frog along with her. She's actually been doing really well on her own. I actually kinda felt bad.

"Hey, you ready?" I said to her.

She nodded.

We made sure to secure and lock down the place before leaving and getting in the minivan.

We were driving in the dark, so everyone was up to their own business. Most of us had headphones in.

Soon, everyone fell asleep. Except me and Minji.

"This is a little.." she said.

"A little what?" I said.

"Ugh, nothing," she sighed.

"I didn't mean it like that," I apologised.

We sat in silence for a little bit, and it was safe to say there was tension.

"Do you think you can beat Kazuha?" I asked, breaking the awkwardness.

"Of course I can," she said confidently. "Do you think you can beat Namjoon?"

"You know I can," I said.

"Do you ever wonder where Chaewon and Cheol are right now? They could be anywhere." She said.

"I do," I said.

"It worries me. It worries me sick. What if they're dead, and we don't know?" She said.

"We're talking about Cheol here," I chuckled.

"I guess you're right.. but you never know." She chuckled back.

We conversed back and forth until we eventually reached the lodge.

"Hey, wake up," Minji said from her seat to everyone. "We're here."

I stepped out of the car to get to the boot, and I almost froze to the cold.

"Put your coat on!" I said to Minji in the cold wind.

I went to the back and got everyone's bags.

We stumbled inside and shut the door. The lodge was quite big.

Hyein rushed upstairs like the little kid she was.
