Overnight

Polar.

          Mingyu felt like time had frozen for a second after hearing those comforting words. Mingyu regained his balance, and resumed walking. Wonwoo slowly let go if his arms as he noticed Mingyu progressing across the bridge. Wonwoo wasn't afraid of heights, but he had trouble walking backwards and would accidentally sway the bridge sometimes, making the latter pause for a moment. Mingyu was half-way across the bridge when Minghao decided to have some fun since it was getting kind of boring with his friend easily making it across.

"Yah! Watch out, there's a missing plank!!" Minghao yelled from the other platform.

Immediately, Mingyu started to panic, making the bridge sway vigorously, and Wonwoo also panicked at the sudden movement. However, he managed to make it to the terrified taller, and grabbed his hands,

"Calm down, he was just kidding. I'm still here.", the two were hand in hand, and Wonwoo slowly pulled the latter towards him, his voice gentle and sweet saying,

"Slo~wly. Let's make it across together.", and the couple began walking again.

Meanwhile, Minghao was dying of laughter at his friend's reaction, and Mingyu heard him and yelled,

"YAH MINGHAO-AH! I'LL KILL YOU ONCE I GET ACROSS!" 

Minghao was clutching his stomach, laughing and Mingyu's cute and innocent reaction made Wonwoo laugh too.

"Yah. I don't need you laughing at me too," Mingyu said from underneath the blindfold, and Wonwoo shut his mouth, concealing his laughter. The two were holding hands, and slowly walking across. They were three fourths of the way across, and Wonwoo said,

"Almost there."

Mingyu replied,

"Aish. I seriously hate this.", and since Mingyu was in such an innocent state, he decided to take advantage of it. Wonwoo pretended to let go saying,

"Okay, I'll just be making my way-"

Mingyu grabbed onto Wonwoo's hands, which surprised the Pres. 

"No, stay." Mingyu pleaded, "I hate this bridge walking , not you."

Wonwoo began to blush, and was extremely thankful that the latter was wearing a blindfold. He took Mingyu's hands in his once again, and they made their way. The couple finally got to the other end of the bridge, which Mingyu fell to his knees on the platform. Wonwoo laughed at the sight, and then leaned his back on the tree as he waited for Minghao and Jun to walk across. Minghao decided to be blindfolded, since he didn't really care. It was quite entertaining to see the newly formed friends trust each other this much. They didn't really hold hands or anything, but Jun just directed him vocally, and Minghao listened and followed his instructions diligently. They made it across in no time, and Minghao rubbed it in Mingyu's face, who just slapped his annoying friend on the chest. The rest of the Trust Building Activities included ziplining, and the classic trust fall. But, this one was different. It was from a height of about 20ft, and you would fall, trusting the members on the bottom to catch you as they held a spread out tarp.

"Why the hell do all of these things involve heights?" Mingyu asked, upset at the 3rd and final activity. 

"It'll be fun... Unless, you know, we decide not to catch you cause you're a ." Minghao said, and laughed. He flinched when Mingyu raised a fist at him, and pretended to swing. 

"I am not.", the latter said, defensively.

"Are too." Minghao and Jun replied in unison, and gave each other a high five. 

The Trust Fall was completed quickly, as Mingyu didn't make such a fuss as he did on the bridge. But, now they were on to their last activity of the day, excluding the student barbeque, fishing. The 40 senior students went back to the lodge, and grabbed fishing poles, bait and buckets, and made their way to the river. Each team set up in different parts of the long stream, and the team of mismatched couples decided to place themselves in between 2 other teams, but there was sufficient space for them. Minghao and Mingyu decided to make it a challenge. The misfits verses the nerds, Minghao put it. To which Jun agreed with the idea of a competition, but not with the name. The quartet split up into pairs, and began fishing. There was no wager on the competition, but it was mainly for pride. Jun decided that he would win, in an attempt to impress Wonwoo. And so, the fishing competition began. While the other teams were fishing relaxed and comfortably, the quartet was trying their best to get a catch. After an hour passed by, it was already 5PM, and the pairs were tied in the amount of fish caught. 11 to 11 was the count. Eventually, the "misfit" duo ended up losing, and Wonwoo and Jun high fived each other at their victory. It was a close competition, 13 to 12, and ended at about 6PM. Due to their loss, Minghao and Mingyu were blaming each other, and arguing. The Class Pres. and his bestfriend just watched to the side, as Minghao shoved Mingyu into the river. Their mouths opened wide in shock, and started then they laughing. But as Mingyu was falling, he managed to grab onto Minghao's arm, and dragged him into the water with him. The duo was wrestling in the water, and the splashes were going everywhere. They were quickly reprimanded by a teacher on sight, to which they lied saying

"Oh sorry Sir, he fell in and I was just trying to help him out.", Minghao explained. 

The duo got out of the water, completely soaked but they were laughing with arms around each other's necks. The plain white tee that Mingyu was wearing was now transparent, revealing his skin underneath. Wonwoo caught himself staring at the latter as he walked out of the water. 

"Yah, you're an idiot. Now you're all soaked," Jun told Mingyu.

"It's fine, I have clothes at the lodge.", he said.

"You should change or else you'll get sick if you stay in those wet clothes." Wonwoo nagged like a mother

"Oh, really?" Mingyu said, raising an eyebrow, "okay."

The latter then proceeded to take off his top, and wring it, letting the excess water drip into the river. He was now shirtless, revealing his nicely toned abs, and a few scars from fights, Wonwoo assumed. Mingyu pushed back his wet hair, reminding Wonwoo of that day in detention. 

"That's not what I meant, but okay."

Wonwoo's thoughts were interrupted by screams from girls that saw Mingyu's shirtless body. Minghao pointed at a scar on Mingyu's side,

"That's still there?!" he said surprised.

"Yeah. The knife he used was freaking huge, man."

Wonwoo kind of wished he knew what the duo was talking about at times, since he felt left out, and not that into the conversation when they talked about something only the 2 have experienced. Minghao was soaking wet too, but he simply put on his sweater and shook his head until his hair became relatively dry. Mingyu walked back to the lodge with his jacket on, but nothing but skin underneath. 

The students were given about an hour to wash and rest up, and then they would gather again for the barbeque. In room 134, the quartet was laying spread out across the room. Mingyu was on the floor, Minghao was napping on a chair, Wonwoo actually sitting on the bed, and Junhui was on the other. They were relaxing and just waiting, when just then a knock came on their door. When they opened it, it was a shy girl from across the hall calling the 4 boys for the BBQ. All of them changed from the clothes that smelled like outdoors. Now, Minghao was in comfortable black sweatpants, and a black top, topped off with a White snapback that he wore backwards, which looked nice against his blue hair. Mingyu was in a black sweater, and white pants, with a red jacket tied around his waist. The other two wore similar clothing, both wearing jeans, but Wonwoo wore a plain white tee, while Jun decided to wear a dark maroon sweater. They made their way to the campfire, which was already surrounded with 30 something students. They all sat in a row, from left to right was Minghao, Mingyu, Wonwoo and Jun. On either side of the 4 boys, were girls and their friends, as expected since they were good looking. The BBQ proceeded to be similar to a social gathering, which surprisingly Mingyu was pretty involved in. 

"Minghao-oppa, how did you know that Sungwon guy? Oppa wasn't the one who gave him that scar, right?" a girl beside Minghao asked.

"He's not someone you want to know, and yes, I did give him that scar... He deserved it." the cute boy answered.

"Ah~, Oppa is kind of scary", she replied with aegyo, making Mingyu cringe and Jun and Wonwoo rolled their eyes. Minghao just smiled sweetly at her.

"Mingyu-oppa,", Mingyu almost spat out his soda when he heard "oppa". Minghao saw his friend almost gag, and started laughing

"Do you have a girlfriend?", she asked with some hope in her eyes. Wonwoo listened for this answer, because he never thought that Mingyu could've been straight. The Class Pres. was so infatuated with the chance that Mingyu might like him back, that he never thought he was just being friendly. He always thought that Mingyu was just teasing him though, so Wonwoo never truly believed that the latter may reciprocate his feelings.

"Nope," Mingyu replied, "I've never had one." he added. 

Many of the girls gasped at the news.

"No way, you're so handsome, how could you not have a girlfriend?" the girls asked.

"Just never had one, or was interested in one.", he answered.

Conversations continued, and the night went on. Since Wonwoo was only wearing a shirt, he rubbed his arms saying,

"It's cold."

Mingyu looked at the shivering President, and began untying the jacket around his waist. He placed it on Wonwoo, who accepted it, and said,

"I'm always taking your jackets.", while lightly laughing.

Mingyu smiled and said,

"Keep that one, that way you don't keep stealing mine," he replied.

The rest of the night went on with conversations happening, and students getting to know each other more. When it was about 11PM, a male student suggested they play the King Game. The group of students agreed, and one of them ran into the lodge, and returned with 40 popsicle sticks and a marker. He then began marking the sticks from numbers 1 all through 39, and marked the last one with a crown. The crown signified that the player who chose it was King, and he then had the power to make any 2 numbers do something. They placed all the sticks in one jar, and the game began as all the students reached for a stick The first few rounds went by smoothly, neither of the 4 boys numbers were involved in the punishments. A random boy from the other side of the fire said,

"Number 13 and 9, hold hands for the rest of the game.", which resulted in being a girl and a boy, who barely knew each other.

The next round went,

"Number 23 sit on Number 32's lap for the rest of the game", and it ended up being 2 guys who cringed at the punishment. 

The next couple of rounds went by, and the students laughed, enjoying the game. Then, someone finally did it. A boy who was king that round said,

"Number 11 and Number 39.... Kiss.", the friends began looking around at each other's stick, trying to find out who was who. 

"Who's number 11?" a voice finally asked, and Mingyu stood up from his seat.

"Me.", he said

Wonwoo's eyes widened, when he looked at his own stick. All the girls after seeing Mingyu was 11, searched their sticks to see if they were the lucky number 39, but none of them were.

"Then! Who's number 39?" Minghao asked, looking around the circle. Wonwoo hesitantly raised his hand,

"M-me."

and the girls scoffed in jealousy, while Jun's eyes widened in the same emotion. Minghao looked at the 2 and a smile appeared on his face as he laughed and nudged Mingyu on the side, receiving a hit. 

"Okay, kiss." said the King.

The couple looked at him, and then at each other. Wonwoo started saying,

"I-I can switch numbers with a girl, if you'd like. I mean, it's not that I hate you, it's just you may not feel comfortable kis-",

His deep voice was interrupted by a pair of lips that fit perfectly with his. Mingyu's hand was holding Wonwoo's chin upwards, as he bent down a little into the kiss. It was a quick kiss but Mingyu's taste lingered on Wonwoo's lips, leaving him longing for more. Mingyu sat back down after the kiss, and Wonwoo quickly did the same after him. There was an awkward silence, which Minghao broke by prompting to begin the next round. The King Game continued until their curfew hit, and everyone dispersed, returning to their rooms in the lodge. The quartet returned to the room, and then had to face the problem. 2 beds, 4 boys, and there was basically awkward tension between 3 of them. So, to prevent any unfair "rigged" sleeping arrangements, they decided to play rock, paper, scissors. And coincidentally, both Wonwoo and Mingyu put out scissors, while Jun and Minghao put out rock. Therefore, making the pairs Minghao and Jun in one bed, and Wonwoo and Mingyu in the other. Minghao wrapped his arms around Jun's neck and started saying

"Yay~, Bed time. Let's sleep, Jun-ah.", and Jun wondered how someone so freaking cute could cut someone, leaving a scar on their face. After all 4 boys washed up, and were preparing for bed Mingyu said something,

"Wonwoo-ah. I sleep with just my shorts, and no shirt on.... Just warning you."

"Yeah, it's weird. Even in the Winter, he can't sleep unless he's basically ," Minghao said

"I'm not , I just feel a lot more comfortable without clothes restricting me while I sleep.", the latter said defensively.  Causing the room to laugh, even Jun who was relaxing with his back on the headboard of the bed, while Minghao was leaning on his shoulder, comfortably.

"I don't mind if that's what makes you comfortable." Wonwoo said directed towards the latter who was in his shorts and tee.

Mingyu smiled, and said "Thank you, person that actually mattered to my previous statement", while looking at Minghao, but speaking to Wonwoo.

He then procedeed to take off his tee, and Wonwoo managed to stay a bit more calm this time. Wonwoo never really noticed, probably because it was under his clothes, but Mingyu wore a chain necklace with 2 rings as a pendant. The latter felt Wonwoo's gaze and teased,

"Do you want a picture, it'll last longer.", receiving an eye roll from Wonwoo, and disgusted looks from Jun and Minghao.

"What's that on your necklace?", the Class Pres. said from the bed where he was sitting, waiting for the last room mate to get to bed so they could finally turn off the lights.

"Ah, this.", Mingyu said while taking the ring in his hands, and turning it around, observing it. 

"It's just a ring of brotherhood, all the boys have one.", he said. Minghao raised his hand from the bed, and on his right hand pinky was the same ring,

"Yep!", he confirmed with a smile.

"Why do you have 2?" Wonwoo asked.

What followed was a quick tense silence, and Mingyu inhaled deeply and said,

"It's because-"

"He's the leader. So, he wears 2 for like.. power, or something." Minghao finished the explanation. Mingyu looked at the blue haired boy, and gave him a sad smile, which Minghao just nodded and smiled back. They didn't go deeper into the subject, and Mingyu finally his way to the bed. The lamps were conveniently placed beside the beds, so no one had to get up to turn off the lights. The 4 exchanged goodnights, except for Mingyu and Minghao who's exchange went like

"I hope you fall off the bed,"

" you too~"

Then the lights turned off, leaving the room in silence and darkness. Wonwoo and Mingyu were facing opposite sides, but Wonwoo turned and was now facing Mingyu's back. It was nicely tanned, and muscular, and he watched in peace at the rise and fall of Mingyu's muscles as he breathed in and out. Suddenly, Mingyu turned the same way, and now they were face to face, their noses almost touching. The Class Pres. could feel Mingyu's peaceful breath, and Wonwoo continued to stare. He was gazing at the latter's lips that were slightly parted, and their kiss popped into his mind. His eyes trailed his face, noticing and taking in every little feature. But then, he got to his eyes, that were surprisingly open.

"Are you sure you don't want a picture?", the latter whispered while Wonwoo was panicking because that was kind of frightening. 

The two were still face to face, neither of them changed position. 

"I thought you were asleep..." Wonwoo whispered

"Oh, so you only stare when I'm unconscious.", the latter replied, making Wonwoo laugh quietly.The two were looking into each other's eyes, and the silence returned. Mingyu blinked, and said,

"Okay. Fine, you win." and Wonwoo smiled at the victory of the staring contest that he was unaware was happening. Mingyu then said good night again, and closed his eyes, but didn't turn or change his position. Wonwoo closed his eyes, still facing the latter, and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Wonwoo awoke and squinted his eyes at the blinding sunlight. He felt that his pillow had been replaced by something else, and he came to the realization that his pillow was now Mingyu's chest. Wonwoo layed there, unsure if he should move in case he woke the boy, so he just remained in the same position for a while. Wonwoo could hear Mingyu's slow heart beat, and his head was slightly rising and falling along with Mingyu's chest. The Class Pres. then feared that the other 2 roommates may see them like this, and assumed that Minghao would probably take a picture, so he slowly and silently got off the boy and slipped out of bed, making sure not to wake the others. He then made his way to the bathroom, where he brushed his teeth and fixed his morning hair. As he was brushing his teeth, Mingyu came into the washroom, half awake, and scratching his head. He still wasn't wearing a shirt, but by now Wonwoo learned to control himself. The latter walked in beside Wonwoo, grabbed his toothbrush and began brushing. While brushing, Mingyu's eyes kept closing, drifting in and out of sleep. Wonwoo began laughing when he saw the back of Mingyu's hair standing straight up. Then, Jun joined in, saying

"Good morning," with a smile to his bestfriend, and stood in between Mingyu and Wonwoo. 

"Morning!", Wonwoo replied with a smile.

Mingyu wasn't fully awake, so he just continued brushing his teeth, sleepily. 

By 8AM, all 4 boys were fully awake, and began packing and changing. They had one last activity to do for this trip, and that was a blindfold walk with a partner. At the room, they established that it would be Mingyu and Minghao and the remaining 2 as partners. 

The walk was going smoothly, the pairs split up, and finally for the first time during the trip, Jun was alone with Wonwoo, who was blindfolded. 

"Wonwoo-ah.", he said.

"Yeah?", his bestfriend replied.

"Can I ask you something?", Jun responded.

Wonwoo went quiet for a couple of seconds, wondering what question Jun could ask, before nodding and saying,

"Sure" with a smile.

Jun continued looking at the ground as they were walking,

"Do you like Mingyu?"

Wonwoo stopped walking, and his smile turned into a line as he thought about the answer. Honestly, he didn't know himself. They were nothing like each other, and Mingyu probably didn't like him, so did he like him? Wonwoo thought to himself. Before he could answer, Jun added,

"Nevermind, I don't want to know the answer." Wonwoo surprised expression showed through his blindfold, due to his eyebrows. Jun continued saying,

"Because even if it's a yes or a no. Even if you may not be able to give your all to me yet... I'll make you mine."

Chapter 36: Hai Zen! I spent a few days to finish this story. And I realllyyyyy love this!!! How the story goes sweetly, then comes the problem that makes me a little scared when Mingyu fights. I like the portrayal of Wonwoo's character. It doesn't feel forced, just flows naturally. And I'm reading this in 2022 which made it easy for me to match their young and current images. Lastly, thank you for presenting a beautiful story!!
And, I was wondering where is Seungkwan? I didn't find him in every chapter. Just curious.
