*Jonghyun’s POV*

“Annie?” I called from my tent.

The sun must’ve been up for a while now because my tent had grown very hot. I ped the door and crawled out into the daylight.

“Annie?” I called again.

“Good morning sleeping beauty!” I looked over to the picnic table to see her reading a magazine. “I’ve been up for three hours now!”

“What time is it?” I asked groggily as I took a seat next to her.

“Eleven o’clock!”

“Ughhhh, can’t I sleep for a little longer?”

“No!” she stated, slapping her magazine down on the table. “We’re meeting the other groups for some activity thing that your manager planned.”

“What kind of activity?” I asked in a whiny voice.

“Now how am I supposed to know that? Just make sure to wear your hiking shoes!”

“Ughhh…”

 “Quit your complaining,” she slapped my arm. “There’s some milk for cereal in the cooler, along with cream cheese if you want a bagel. I’m going to go finish getting ready. Hurry up and eat so we can go!”

“Yes ma’am!” I saluted her.

She rolled her eyes at me, but I just smiled. She was more of a noona than a dongsaeng, but that was okay with me. I liked noonas!

We all stood in a circle around the manager, waiting to hear our mission. I struggled to hold in my laughter as I eyed Nicole’s outfit (http://s3.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/7B9EEAFD.jpg). The worst part about it was that she had matched it with a set of silver one inch heels.

“I hope you all brought your bandanas with you,” the manager began, “because those will be representing your team colors!”

“This really is like Survivor!” Brianna exclaimed, clinging to Key’s arm and jumping up and down.

“You and your partner will be working together to win each day’s competition. Now, since we’ll only be out here for three nights, there will only be three challenges. Your goal for today? Find and collect as many tie-dye flags as you can! This is what they look like.” He held one up for us all to see. (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ2A6OJj29Hh1boOkyviKOrTmbLFaS3Ies1zNd8Jx2UIeivnubljGuzdO4UHw). “They are hidden within a three mile radius of this spot. You have two hours to search. You will each receive a timer. If both you and your partner aren’t back by the time time runs out, your group will be disqualified.”

I got this in the bag- …oh crap.

I was feeling confident, until I remembered who my partner was.

“We got this!” Taemin whispered in my ear, sending chills down my spine.

“Any questions?” asked the manager.

“What’s the prize for today?!” Key piped up.

“I was wondering when someone was going to ask that!” A smile spread across the manager’s face. “The couple that comes in with the most flags today will get to spend tonight in a hotel. Yes, the hotel has a pool, jacuzzi room, sauna, and RUNNING WATER.”

“We are winning this!!!!” Key screamed. “Quick, let’s just start!”

“Okay, every starts with their hand on the big tree right here,” the manager said, motioning to the tree. “It is directly in the center.”

We all hurried over to the tree.

“On your marks…” I got in ready position, Taemin by my side, “Get set…” he shot me a quick smile, “GO!” and we were off.
