"It's your fault!" Renjun yelled facing Haechan who was creasing his eyebrows.
"Excuse me? My fault? As far as I remember I was following you so you're the one at fault" Haechan accused the other as the shorter male visibly frowned. As if anything worse couldn't happen the two got separated from the rest and were in the middle of nowhere.
"It's not the time to argue. let's find our way back" haechan spoke as Renjun hummed a bit glancing towards the male.
"Let's go that way" he suggested as the taller male tilted his head.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure but...let's try out our luck? That path seems oddly familiar" whispering the last words he started leading the way with Haechan close behind checking sideways if he could find any unusual happenings.
"Oh, we got another flag" chirping Renjun squatted down to collect it, the birthmarks on his hand being noticed by Haechan.
"What's this?" he questioned capturing the other's hands with his own, the movement making the shorter male jerk a bit.
"Seriously don't do things like that" avoiding the older male's remarks haechan eyed the mark. It was grey in color and though it wasn't broad daylight he was still able to see it.
"What's this?" he implored as renjun's eyes followed the other's sight, a small gasp leaving his mouth.
"It's my birthmark. C'mon, we're going to waste our time standing here. Follow me" with that Renjun grabbed Haechan's hands and started marching away. Haechan didn't protest but let the human do so, his lips twitching into a smile due to amusement.
"Isn't that Daehwi?" Once they saw a familiar person in the background Renjun mused as haechan nodded in approval. The male seemed so lost.
"Daehwi!" Renjun called out waving his arm as the latter sighed a breath of relief running towards them. When inquired daehwi narrated the whole incident.
"See, this is why I said they should at least let us use phones before they send us to missions like this" Daehwi complained as Renjun chuckled. He doesn't fail to amuse Renjun.
"Bold of you to think that we'll be even able to make calls from here" Haechan mumbled
"Let's just walk ahead before it gets too late" Renjun intervened and the two looked at each other before following the shorter male's lead.
"God! you're finally back!" Jaemin screeched as he clung onto Renjun making the older stumble a bit. Daehwi made his way towards his team as Haechan smiled his eyes looking for his brother.
"Where were you guys? We were so worried" the pink-haired male whined as Renjun rubbed his forehead a bit before signaling the other to get down from his hip. Once he was able to breathe he faced the Jaemin.
"Well...we kind of lost track? We didn't see you guys moving ahead so when we tried to catch up we ended up getting lost." Jaemin hummed before he hugged the male once again, inhaling his cologne. He knew jaemin had this weird habit of smelling him, especially his hair. Once jaemin was done he moved away a sigh escaping his lips.
"Are you okay kids?" Mr. Kwon asked as Renjun bowed his head a bit before nodding.
"Thank god. We were about to search for you three"
"Mr. Kwon-" Mr. Kim called out as the old man excused himself before walking towards the other leaving Jaemin with Renjun. The pink-haired male nudged Renjun making him hum.
"Guess whose team lost?"
"Who- wait don't tell me-"
"Yes, it's them. They're currently cooking food over there" Jaemin pointed towards a van as Renjun sprinted towards the place his eyes widening at the sight.
Mark and jisung were trying to cook eggs while Lucas was standing near his boyfriend encouraging him. Chenle seemed to be cutting vegetables and there not too far was sungchan cornering Shotaro as seen in animes. By the looks of it, the younger male was interested in his teammate to the point he didn't even bother to help his teammates.
"Renjun. Did something happen to you both?" Came a worried voice as the mentioned guy looked at his brother who seemed nervous. Panic was written all over.
"We were fine ge" Renjun replied as Lucas smiled before his eyes went back to the frying pan. Mark was shaking as Lucas hold his left hand in an attempt to comfort him.
"Take it slow, bae"
"But Lucas I cant-"
"You can! I showed you how to cook one right? Just take this as a challenge and do it"
"In the end please don't let your boyfriend burn the eggs Lucas" shouted Hyunjin in the background as mark raged.
"You'll be the first one to eat those burnt eggs Hyunjin! Prepare for that!" screaming Mark went back to his job earning a chuckle from Lucas.
"Don't pay attention to those clowns. They're trying to get a reaction from you"
"But-"
"No buts. Don't pay attention to them. Take it slow. We still have time"
"Okay..." nibbling his lip mark went back to the cooking as the giant stood closer to help him. Chenle, though he knew Jisung was worse, didn't expect to see the male literally setting the pan on fire.
"Jisung!" chenle hollered as he pushed the other way.
"I should have known better than to let you handle this. Go and cover for me or stay away. Where the hell is sungchan?" fuming his eyes darted sideways and the sight wasn't pleasant at all. Striding towards the male he harshly pulled him by his arm making sungchan wince in pain.
"What-"
"Come and help us"
The dinner, though it wasn't pleasant, was still edible thanks to the efforts of the three excluding Jisung and Mark. The two sat there pouting as the students raised their opinions with Hyunjin taking the lead. The teachers eyed Mr. Byun who came up with the idea of students cooking.
"C'mon I didn't know that they didn't know how to cook! Plus kids of your age should learn this by now! Why are you all blaming me?" he whined as Mr. park hit his head lightly making him frown.
"Cause you're the one who came up with the idea dummy"
"But-"
"Shush!" shushing the older male Mr. park turned towards the students who seemed to be disappointed. Shaking his head a bit he stood towards the center, clapping to draw the attention of the students and teachers present.
"I know you kids are disappointed by the food but let's not blame them. Why don't we do something to lift up the mood?" he suggested as hands were raised, some even getting up from their spot.
"Let's make a campfire? After all, we are here to relax so why not use this time for that? The activities are going to be tough so leisure must be provided. What do you all think?"
The students readily agreed as Renjun slumped back into the ground. Sulking he stared at Jaemin.
"Do we really have to participate in this?"
"Of course, it will be fun Renjun"

Sorry for this lame ass short chapter. Honestly, I'm having writer's block but thanks to the pre-written drafts I'm kind of able to update. And yes I'm procrastinating though I should be completing my notes by now. I might update another chapter before I go to sleep so watch out <333
(No guarantee tho. It's me we're talking about so yikes + stream 90s love)
Also a slight disclaimer. Please don't take this in any offensive way. If I call someone clown (especially stray kids or NCT) that's because they're my clowns. They're our boys. In no way do I intend to spread against them.
Now about mark and jisung not knowing how to cook, I'm even worse than them so don't take it in any offensive way either. I'm adding this here so as to avoid butthurt fans. This is just fiction at the end of the day. Please do remember that.
