Dear Journal... | Minsung

28

It was the next day,
the sun shined brightly and some small clouds decorated the blue sky. 
The students all stood in the middle of the camp, waiting for their two teachers.

They had lunch already and it was finally time for their first camp activity. 
Well even tho half of them weren't that motivated and would rather have free time.
Jisung found this a lot better than normal school.

"I hope we don't have to go hiking..."

Said Felix mumbling while looking at the small lake further away from the group. His two best friends couldn't help but laugh at the freckled boy.
They both knew that Felix's memories of hiking weren't that... amazing. 

When they were kids the four often went on hiking trips with Felix's father, since he had the conviction that 'kids need to be in nature'.
That resulted in them going on hikes, camping, and sometimes even fishing. 

But Felix wasn't a big fan of his father's plans. The endless walking in the sun, the mosquito bites, and the feet hurting were enough for him to dislike it very much. 

Ms. Baek and Mr. Park finally came walking towards the students.
Ms.Baek had like always a stern smile on her face, while Mr.Park was struggling to carry a big gray Box.

"So Everybody let's get started for our first activity!"

Said Ms.Baek, Mr.Park next to her nodded out of breath, fixing his green shirt and glasses. Jisung honestly had to hold himself together every time he looked at Mr. Park.
He reminded him too much of some kind of jungle explorer.

"The first activity is to get to know this place better!
We will make pairs of two and give you guys a Map. An individual route is marked on each map, you will follow that Route and take a picture at that place."

Some boys in the back groaned frustrated at the task, making Ms. Baek shake her head. 

"Oh and also don't get ideas to just sneak off and take the picture somewhere else! Mr. Park and I both have been to each spot! Understood?!"

A loud "Yes Ms. Baek" was heard once again, Felix just sighed and looked down with a pout. 
Changbin who stood next to him couldn't help but smile at the younger. 

When suddenly a girl who stood at the front raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss. Cho?"

"I'm sorry Ms. Baek but I thought that we had to do the activities with our project partners?"

Ms.Baek nodded and started to explain.
Apparently, they decided that for the first activity, they didn't pair us up with our project partners.

Jisung found that decision a bit weird but he stopped questioning the thing when he remembered that Mr.Park was part of the two who made that decision. 
He didn't even want to know what kind of weird Psychological reason he had again. 

"So I will announce the groups now, when you hear your name being called please  come forward and get your map."
Said Mr. Park getting out a list.

"And lastly for cabin seven, Moon Kevin and Bae Jacob."

Two boys went to the front and got their map, big smiles on their faces.

After what felt like a decade, Mr.Park finally started to read the pairs for cabin Number 8. He pushed his glasses up and turned the paper.

"Lee Minho and Hwang Hyunjin"

The two raven-haired boys looked at each other, Hyunjin smiled happily, while Minho made a fake annoyed face.

"Seo Changbin and Lee Felix."

Felix and Changbin looked at each other astounded.
Since the two are project partners, but both of them didn't mind, they kept quiet. And the teachers didn't really looked in the mood for another complain after the scene cabin number 4 made. So just like Minho and Hyunjin, they went to get their map.

"And lastly Han Jisung and Kim Seungmin."

Read Mr. Park out, then put the list back into his pocket, handing Seungmin the last map.
Jisung was glad that Seungmin was his partner, and he was certain that their mini-geocaching was going to be... Fun.

The students all got a small bag with two apples some 'healthy' snacks, two water bottles, And of course the map.

"Minnie you have the map right?"
Asked Jisung with a questioning look.
Seungmin nodded as he held up the map.

When the students finally got the go from their two teachers. They all started to walk in different directions.
But six boys still stood there.

"See you later and don't get lost."

Said Hyunjin dramatically, earning a light punch against his arm from Minho.

"Anyway, we'll get going, and don't forget Mr. Park said that we have to be back at the meeting spot at 4 pm."

Said Seungmin starting to walk away Jisung following him, the others just nodded in response.

"Oh! Changbin Hyung!! don't lose my precious friend while hiking!!"

Said or more yelled Jisung, with a laugh. He saw that Felix was flipping him off in the distance. Changbin just gave him a thumbs up.

Apparently, the three popular boys
and Felix had their spots almost in the same area, making them walk together. 

Seungmin and Jisung on another hand... were on the opposite side of the camp. They heard from other students that the whole era the teachers have determined was pretty big.

Jisungs and Seungmin's spot was actually quite far, and there weren't any other students that walked the same path as the two.

Well, apart from two girls that walked a bit behind them. Jisung sometimes felt like the two were staring at him and his friend. But he quickly brushed the feeling off.

Anytime he looked over to the two they were taking pictures of flowers and the view. Not paying him nor Seungmin any attention.

"Minnieee when are we thereee."

Whined Jisung kicking a small rock into a bush. He felt like they were walking since forever. Which wasn't the case but he was still tired. He was also really curious how Felix was doing with Changbin.

And if Hyunjin and Minho have accidentally fallen off a cliff yet.

"Almost Sungie, the spot is right in front, just a bit and we're there."

Said Seungmin looking at the map
closely.
It was a comfortable silence between the two and the birds were heard in the background.
