The next morning at breakfast, Sehun approached the table where the nine thirteen to fifteen year old boys were sitting. 

"So, today is the party boat after breakfast. Basically, we take a couple of motorboats and tie them together and go out onto the lake with the other teenagers. There's music and snacks and it's pretty fun," Sehun said. 

"Sure, we're down," Taeyong responded after a silent affirmation from the other boys. 

"Alright, see you then," Sehun spoke, and the boys followed the counselor out of the dining hall. After changing into swim clothes, they met up with the counselors and the sixteen to eighteen year olds. This time, Sehun and Jongdae (the sixteen to eighteens counselor) were accompanied by one of the maintenance guys, the five to sevens counselor, and both of the lifeguards. 

"Aren't you guys supposed to be watching the pool?" Mark questioned. 

"We closed it for today. Anyways, we'll be the lifeguards for you guys," the shorter of the two responded. 

Sehun and Jongdae led the group down to the lake, the motorboats already set up for them. The teens and counselor hopped on and sped off towards the center of the lake. 

Once they got to the middle, when the shorelines looked distant and the deep blue water surrounded them for yards and yards, Sehun opened his bag and pulled out chips and capri suns for the group. 

"I thought Kyungsoo was gonna make us sandwiches!" Minseok, the shorter lifeguard whined. The kids frowned at the thought of missing the yummy sandwiches that the chef made. 

"He was too busy getting ed by Jongin. God, now that he's lost his ity he's become an absolute beast," the taller lifeguard, apparently named Luhan responded. 

Sicheng and Mark blushed a bright red but most of the teens grimaced at the thought of the surly chef having . 

"Let's go," Johnny mumbled, grabbing his snacks and moving out of the way of the dirty counselors. 

Once everyone got settled on the lake, Johnny sat down on a bench in the motorboat to eat his snacks. He eyes immediately landed on Taeil's frame, in the water and clinging onto the side of the boat. "Cute," Johnny mumbled to himself, and immediately clamped his hand over his mouth. He prayed nobody heard but he realized Mark was looking at him with a smirky grin. He was ed. 

Mark looked to Johnny's eyes, still on Taeil in the water, then to Taeil himself, then back to Johnny. 

"I figured you were into him," Mark said quietly and carefully, so no one else would hear. 

"What are you talking about?" Johnny responded with an awkward laugh that fooled absolutely no one. 

"It's pretty obvious that you like Taeil," Mark spoke. Johnny wasn't the type to blush but his eyes widened and even he was left speechless. 

"Uh...uh," he stuttered. Johnny thought he'd done a good job of hiding his crush. "What about you and Donghyuck, huh?" He protested, trying to get the attention off of himself. 

"We're not talking about me and Donghyuck right now. Come on Johnny, it's obvious how much he's into you," Mark countered. 

"Mark, you're almost as inexperienced as Sicheng. I, on the other hand, have had tons of boyfriends and girlfriends. I know the signs, and I really don't think he's into me," Johnny responded. 

"So you're not going to tell him?" Mark asked, ignoring Johnny's sort-of insults. 

Johnny scoffed. "Absolutely not. Are you going to tell Donghyuck how you feel?"

"Yeah, on the last day," Mark responded. Johnny looked back at him in surprise. 

"I didn't think you'd do that, but it's obvious you guys are really into each other. Look, I'm really proud of you and Donghyuck but the relationship between me and Taeil is different. Taeil and I are just friends, and I'm not going to change that in the next two days. It's not worth it," Johnny spoke. 

Mark sighed and shrugged at Johnny. "Your loss," he mumbled, standing up and sliding into the water next to Taeil, Doyoung, and Jaehyun. Johnny sighed, pushing Mark's words aside and watching Taeil silently. 

On the other bench, Ten was draped over Taeyong's body, laying down on the white plastic of the motorboat. 

"I'm gonna miss you, you know," Ten mumbled, snuggling into Taeyong's chest as Taeyong played with his hands. 

"Don't talk like that," Taeyong growled lowly. Ten pouted and even though Taeyong couldn't see his face from their position, he knew Ten was upset. He kissed the shell of Ten's ear. 

"I'm sorry for lashing out. I just...don't know how I'll survive without you," Taeyong responded. 

"There's a such thing as social media, you know. And facetime," Ten spoke. 

Taeyong sighed. "It's just not the same."

"I'm trying to stay positive, alright? I'm just as upset as you are. Do you know how badly I wish you went to my school?" Ten whined. 

"I wish so too," Taeyong responded. "I love you," he added, gently whispered in Ten's ear. 

"I love you too," Ten responded, still blushing a bit even after all the times they'd said those three words to each other. 

"You two are so cute!" The five to sevens counselor squealed at the teenage couple. 

"Yeah we are; we're the cutest couple at camp," Ten responded. 

"Hm, I beg to differ," Sehun spoke, wrapping his arms around the five to seven's counselor's waist and resting his head on his shoulder. "I think me and Yixing here are the cutest couple." 

"No way! Me and Luhan are the cutest couple," the lifeguard named Minseok added. 

"Well, you guys are all old. Me and Taeyong have young summer love," Ten protested. 

"I'm literally eighteen," Sehun responded. "Anyways, me and Yixing met at camp. We had young summer love too, and now we're still together after five years. So I think we win."

"Okay fine. We're the cutest camper couple and you guys are the cutest counselor couple," Taeyong said. 

"Agreed," Sehun responded, and everyone laughed at the agreement. 

In the water, Johnny, Mark, and Taeil had swam off to a different end of the boat, leaving Doyoung and Jaehyun by themselves. 

"I thought you never left the house. How come you're such a good swimmer?" Jaehyun asked. 

"My parents made me take lessons as a kid," Doyoung explained. 

"You're so good at stuff," Jaehyun mumbled, swimming behind Doyoung and giving him a big back hug. Doyoung couldn't help but smile wide, turning his head to peck Jaehyun's waiting lips. 

"Thanks Jaehyun," Doyoung shyly responded, treading in the cool blue lake water. 

"You don't have to thank me for telling you the truth, you know. How many times do I have to tell you that?" Jaehyun asked. Doyoung pouted and whined but secretly smiled at Jaehyun's pure sweetness. 

Doyoung wouldn't, no, couldn't imagine going back home. The idea of being without Jaehyun's cheery smile or waking up next to his warm frame every morning made his heart sink into his chest. 

"Are you okay?" Jaehyun asked. He couldn't even see Doyoung's face, the fourteen year old was faced the other way, but he could definitely sense a drop in his mood. 

"Y-yeah," Doyoung responded, but his heart wasn't in it. 

"Don't be sad about leaving camp. I promise I'll text you every morning! My spirit will be by your side," Jaehyun said so cheerfully that Doyoung couldn't help but feel his mood improve. 

"We can facetime a lot too," Doyoung responded. Jaehyun pressed a sweet kiss to Doyoung's cheek, and Doyoung knew he couldn't be unhappy with Jaehyun by his side. 

On the other side of the boat, Yuta and Sicheng were also relaxing in the water. They were swimming around the boat, sort of racing, and when Yuta would catch up to Sicheng he would softly peck his lips. Sicheng didn't mind the punishment at all, in fact he felt himself swim slower and slower and slower at the prospect of feeling Yuta's lips on his own. 

"I'm tired," Yuta eventually said, laughing and hanging on to the side of the boat. 

"Me too," Sicheng responded, smiling back at his boyfriend. "You're such a good kisser," he quietly mumbled. 

"You have such pretty lips that I can't help but kiss you all the time, so I'm glad you like it," Yuta responded. Sicheng turned his head away and blushed at the compliment. 

"You're perfect," Yuta mumbled in his ear, and Sicheng blushed even further. 

"Stop," he whined, unable to stop smiling. 

"What? Can't a guy compliment his boyfriend?" Yuta responded. 

"It makes my face too red; and the other boys tease. Especially Johnny and Mark," Sicheng admitted. 

"Let them tease, babe. They're just jealous that they're single," Yuta answered. He swam in closer and pressed light kisses all over Sicheng's face. Sicheng giggled, in love with all of the affection Yuta gave him. He reached for Yuta's larger hands and held them under the water, still unable to wipe the smile off his face. 

"What a cutie," Yuta mumbled. At that, Sicheng rolled his eyes. As if his face wasn't red enough.
