' I like you...'
It was the 2nd day of the trip .
It was currently 4 in the morning when their teachers had woken them up.
"Yahh... Jaehee wake up..."
Minseo said and shaked Jaehee to wake her up.
"Stop it...! Let me sleep "
Jaehee said.
"Please stop shouting you both"
Jihye said as she sat on her bed.
"I swear Jaehee wake up or else teacher will kill us...! We need to get ready fast....!"
Minseo said as she slapped Jaehee's butt and went inside the washroom to clean up.
"Jaehee please wake up...you can't act lazy here at least please...!"
Jihye said as she was arranging her bed.
"Ugh...fine!"
Jaehee said as she sat on her bed straight.
"Better...now arrange your bed and clean up or else we'll be late..."
Jihye said as she completed arranging her bed and sat there waiting for Minseo to clean up fast.
"Yeah yeah fine I'm up"
Jaehee said as she started arranging her bed.
15 minutes after Minseo came out of the washroom after taking a bath as jihye went inside to take a bath.
" The water isn't cold ?"
Jaehee asked.
"Well it is but they have hot water supply..."
Minseo said as she wore her jacket .
"Oh ok...good"
Jaehee said .
"Btw why are we up so early...?"
Jaehee asked again.
"You don't know ?"
Minseo asked.
"If I knew then why would I ask you dumbass"
She said.
"Yeah true you sleeping so deeply that you did not even hear what the teacher said when she came to wake us up..."
Minseo said while wrapping her scarf around her neck.
"Whatever...! Why are we up so early???"
Jaehee asked
"Well we will be going for mountain climbing right now..."
Minseo said.
"Mountain climbing...? We have a mountain here??"
Jaehee asked
"Well yes we do...it is not so far it's just the opposite side from the lake..."
She said.
"Oh ok!"
Jaehee said.
Just then jihye came out of the washroom as Jaehee went to take a bath.
"The water was so cold..."
Jihye said while shivering.
"What...?"
Minseo asked as she started at the girl.
"The water was so cold darn it...!"
Jihye said as she wore her cardigan.
"Don't tell me you had a bath with cold water..."
Minseo said .
"...well yes I did..."
Jihye said.
"Oh my gosh- how more dumb can you be??? There is hot water supply..."
Minseo said.
"Wait what..."
Jihye said as they stood in silence.
"WAHHH WHY TF AM I SO DUMB??? "
Jihye yelled .
"Idk brooo"
Minseo said as she wore her boots.
"I feel like pissing myself..."
Jihye said as she face palmed herself.
"Why the heck are you guys shouting..?"
Jaehee said as she came out of the washroom.
"Yk whattt jihye took a bath with cold water..."
Minseo said.
"What lmao"
Jaehee said while laughing.
"Stop laughing you nerd...!"
Jihye said .
"Ok fine let me dress up as well then we'll move out"
Jaehee said.
"Ok I'll go downstairs first!"
Minseo said as she went away.
"I'll wait for you.."
Jihye said as she wore her boots and sat on the chair.
After few minutes jihye and Jaehee both went downstairs and saw their classmates standing there in a crowd.
They saw Minseo with the guys so they went towards them.
"Hey guys morning!"
Jaehee wished as they wished back.
"So are you guys ready to climb the mountain??"
Junhyeon asked.
"Yeah I mean like I have experience so not a big deal"
Jihye said .
"Ok Miss singer"
Gyuvin said.
"Yah! Stop calling me that fr"
Jihye said.
"Ok fine singer"
Gyuvin said back while jihye just glared at him.
"Will you be able to climb the mountain tho?"
Ricky asked Jaehee.
"Yeah why??"
Jaehee asked.
"No I was just wondering in case if you sprained your leg again.."
Ricky said.
" Oh really worried much ??"
Jaehee said as she smirked.
"No ew why would I worry ?"
Ricky said as he made a disgusting face.
"Oh yeah...we'll see that"
Jaehee said.
"Woah woah woah no flirting in front of us please"
Minseo said.
"You are the one to say...huh"
Junhyeon said and scoffed.
"Oh please respectfully shut up"
Minseo said as she rolled her eyes.
"Ok students! Let's go now"
The teacher said as they went in a line standing behind each other marching towards the local mountain of that area.
While all the students reached the mountain they started climbing the mountain through the route made.
It was a very thin route and the line of students was too long.
Gyuvin got so tired while waiting for the students ahead of him move so he decided to make a new route himself.
He looked around and saw two small trees beside each other at the top of a rock.
He climbed the rock in front of him and looked up at the tree .
He let out a sigh and took hold of the branches of the trees and climbed up using them after climbing up he split the two trees away from each other to make a route.
(a/n- based on real life incident that happened during my trip )
"Yah gyuvin! Wth are you doing??"
Junhyeon yelled.
"The line is too long so I made another route!"
Gyuvin yelled back looking at them.
"How did you even-"
Ricky was cut off by gyuvin.
"Just climb from here it'll take less time!"
Gyuvin yelled back.
"Gyuvin's right let's go from there"
Minseo said as she climbed the rock too.
"Sister in law hold my hand"
Gyuvin said as he stretched his hand out for her to hold.
"Stfu gyuvin"
Minseo said as she held his hand and gyuvin pulled her up.
"Fine I'll go too"
Junhyeon said.
And after him ricky and jaehee climbed too.
Gyuvin stretched out his hand for jihye to hold who was also climbing.
She held his hand and climbed up when she accidently slipped causing her to fall backwards.
But she did not gyuvin immediately pulled her as he placed his arm on her waist to not let her fall.
"Are you fine?"
Gyuvin asked looking at her still in that position.
"Y-yeah I am"
Jihye said feeling flustered as she looked down.
"Ok I think we should continue now???"
Ricky said interrupting the two.
Gyuvin nodded as he left her waist as he walked ahead of them.
Well gyuvin's route was actually helpful because they reached at the top early even tho they slipped and almost fell in the process compared to the others who were still in line.
The six people stood at the top of the mountain as they were mesmerised by the beauty of the city from the top.
"Wow this is so pretty..."
Jaehee said.
"I know right...."
Ricky said.
Jaehee looked at him and frowned .
"Stop agreeing with me.."
She said.
"But it's the truth..."
He said and frowned back.
"Whatever.."
Jaehee said as she looked back at the beautiful scenery.
"Guys let's take a pic!"
Junhyeon said .
"Oh yes! "
Minseo said as she stood beside jihye while tugging on her arm.
"Ok guys get in the position!"
Junhyeon said as he took out his phone opening the camera in selfie mode.
Jaehee bent down in front of jihye and Minseo making a peace sign with jihye and Minseo making a cheek heart with ricky and gyuvin posing behind them with their brightest smile.
"Let's capture this memory"
Junhyeon said.
"Shoot take a panorama!"
They all yelled as junhyeon clicked the pic.
....
"Y'all that was so tiring.."
Junhyeon said as he sat on the couch while rubbing his leg.
"I know right...but that was memorable at least!"
Minseo said.
"True...who knows will we be able to meet after graduation..."
Jaehee said as they all looked down while smiling.
"Of course we will! Because we are never leaving each other's side even after death!"
Gyuvin said trying to list up the mood.
"Real..but it's not even been a year since I met you guys and we will be separated"
Ricky said.
"We won't ricky! And we won't let you return back Jaehee will chew up your passport and you'll never return back"
Jihye said making them laugh.
"Why me-"
Jaehee was cut off.
"Oh be quiet Jaehee...~"
Minseo said while wiggling her eyebrows.
"Bro wut"
Jaehee said.
"Anyways enough of the emotional talks let's go have our lunch"
Junhyeon said as they all moved towards the canteen of the hotel.
After having their lunch they returned back to their rooms to freshen up and change into their comfy clothes.
Since the students had nothing to do now they were just walking around the place.
Some were gossing in the backyard some were having a walk in the woods some were busy playing in the huge playground while few were playing in the lake.
It was already 5 in the evening and the students were called in the backyard to prepare the foods for dinner .
The girls were preparing the food and the guys were arranging the place to eat.
Jaehee , jihye and Minseo with few other other students were preparing fried pork belly and salad , few were preparing steak , ramen and seafood soup and also kimchi is a must.
It was already past 7 when the food was ready .
The students in a line took the food and sat with their friend group to eat.
After all the students finished eating the teachers told them sit with their friends and discuss how they enjoyed their time here during the trip and so at the moment all the students were sitting with their friends talking an gossiping.
"So what should we discuss...?"
Junhyeon said.
"Idk bro "
Minseo said.
"Well we already talked about the things..."
Jaehee said .
"Yeah but honestly the way we made our own route today while climbing the mountain was very fun...and yeah all credits to gyuvin"
Ricky said as they all looked at gyuvin.
"O-oh yeah...haha"
Gyuvin said as he rubbed his nape feeling flustered.
"Well don't you have anything to say gyuvin...?"
Junhyeon asked.
"Me? "
Gyuvin said.
"Yes obviously you"
Minseo said.
"Uhmm I actually do have to say something..."
Gyuvin said as he looked down and then to jihye .
Jihye looked at him and immediately understood what he was trying to tell.
She looked at the ground for few seconds then looked up at him, she slightly smiled and gave him a thumbs up to which gyuvin smiled and responded.
"Uhm actually..."
Gyuvin started as he slowly stood up from where he was sitting and slowly moved towards Jaehee.
"Uh how do I say it...um Jaehee you know that we have been friends since middle school...and to be clear I caught feelings for you...and yes I like you...! I've been liking you even before I moved schools...and..."
Gyuvin stood in front of jaehee and said as she looked up at him with her mouth slightly open.
"and...I like you will go on a date with me after the trip is finished ...?"
Gyuvin said as he let out a heavy sigh as he looked at her .
"Gyuvin I..."
Jaehee was not able to say anything she turned her gaze towards jihye who was sitting beside her she looked at jihye who was staring at gyuvin with an expression less face.
Jihye noticed Jaehee and looking at her as she made eye contact with Jaehee and then broke it soon looking at the ground.
"Gyuvin... I don't have anything to say... but yeah I appreciate... what you feel for me but I don't feel the same towards you...and also you deserve someone who truly cares for you...not someone like me..."
Jaehee said while gyuvin looked at her with disappointment in his face .
He glanced at jihye who was looking at him with concern he then looked away and started at the ground not knowing what to do.
"Gyuvin I'm sorry but I only see you as a friend and nothing more nothing less there's definately someone you deserve... I'm sorry..."
Jaehee said as she straightened her body and looked away.
Gyuvin just stood there he just nodded and forced out a smile
"I-its okay... maybe I was too desperate..."
He said and went back to his seat and sat down looking at the ground.
He felt embarrassed and sad at the same time .
He could feel his tears being filled up in his eyes but he somehow controlled it and no noticed since he was wearing an oversized hoodie .
"Uhm so let's continue with our talk..."
Junhyeon said trying to change the topic.
"Y-yeah"
Minseo replied .
Junhyeon, Minseo and ricky were talking jihye also talked a few times but she was mostly quiet while gyuvin and Jaehee did not say a single thing.
Ricky glanced at Jaehee and saw her spacing out .
Ricky slightly nudged her making her come back to her senses .
"Are you fine...?"
He asked.
"Oh y-yeah I am..."
She replied as she looked at the ground.
"Don't think about it...it's fine...I'm sure everything will be fine.."
Ricky said and smiled at her reassuring her as he slowly patted her back while she just nodded and smiled back.
