Campfires and ASMR | Pt. 3

"And here we are," a manager spoke up from the front seat, causing the rest to look out there windows.

"We're in the middle of the forest," Minji deadpanned.

"Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. Why can't we just go to a hotel or something?" Mai looked outside, her features drowning in pure disgust.

"Because!" Donghyuck countered from the very back of the minivan, "We are not cowards!"

"I object," Jisung put his hand up from next to him. "I'm a coward. I wanna go home."

A gasp came from the front. "If jisung wants to go home then by god we'll go home!" Jaemin spat out as he craned his head to glare at Haechan in the back.

"But that's so boring!" The culprit started to whine, deflating in his seat.

"Now I feel bad! Donghyuck, I'll camp with you," Minji, not truly thinking through her words, turned to him.

"You're the most cowardly out of all of us, don't even pretend-," Mai's fighting words were drowned out by the full on fight that broke out in the poor minivan.

"I wanna go home!"
"It'll be fun!"
"I'm hungry."
"Shut up, you beast."
"I hate all of you!"
"You don't mean that!"

A scream erupted from Mrs. Kim as she turned to glare at the young idols from the passenger seat. Her hair was askew and her eyes burned red. She looked like a homeless man on cocaine. "I will blow this car up, if you all don't," she took a deep breath, "SHUT THE [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] UP! YOU [bleep] [bleep]."

Gasps filled the vehicle as Jaemin covered Jisung's ears. The once bar-fight-like atmosphere was replaced by one of stillness. Even the Dream's manager, who has been through a lot, was slightly terrified of the woman next to her.

"Uh, I guess we're staying," Donghyuck chirped out after a few minutes. Sounds of objections were quickly silenced by one sharp glare owned by Mrs. Kim.
  The passengers quickly rushed out of the vehicle and started to unpack. It was only 10:00, so they had plenty of time to kill. As the van's contents were being taken out, Chenle let out a nervous giggle.

"Guys... where's the cooler?"

All hell broke loose as everyone frantically searched for the cooler, which held all of their water and food.
"Who was the one responsible for taking it?"

"Jeno," Renjun spat. "Jeno, I specifically told you not to forget the cooler!" Out of nowhere, the small boy lunged toward Jeno in an attempt to strange him. Luckily, Mrs. Kim and Heesun held him back.

"Oh no," said the older woman, "no one is dying on my watch. Besides, I thought you guys were boy scouts or something. Didn't you make a whole song solely for that?"
The Dreamies all scratched their heads, muttering something along the lines of, "Not really."

"Haechan, are you sure you still want to camp out here? We literally have nothing to survive on. The only thing we have is our bags, and unless one of you brought food and water, we have absolutely no nutrition." Mai looked at him in doubt.

Noticing all eyes were on him, Donghyuck stood up straight and put on a brave face. "Like I said, we're gonna be surviving all on our own. We better start making shelter and finding food, most importantly water."
And so, everyone was sorted into groups, each with a task so that they wouldn't all die and be eaten by bears, or worse, sasaengs.
