*Nicole’s POV*

“Minho!” I shouted as he, along with Jonghyun and the manager, came walking out of the woods.

Minho actually wasn’t walking. He was sleeping in Jonghyun’s arms. It kind of scared me at first because it made Minho look fragile; weak. It was weird to see him like that. However it didn’t stop me.

“Minho!” I shouted in his face, waking him up.

Jonghyun set him on the ground once he was fully awake.

He smiled at me groggily, “Hey bab-,”

“What the heck were you thinking?!” I screamed. “You almost scared me to death! How could you put me through that; thinking you were hurt or possibly… possibly-,”

In the blink of an eye I was in his arms; his lips smacking furiously against my own.

“Just shut up,” he said, through our kisses.

Instead of a smart comment, I just wrapped my arms around his neck. My baby was safe, and that’s all I cared about.

*Taemin’s POV*

I didn’t understand why the girls had been so worried; of course we were coming back! I didn’t say anything though, because I loved the feel of Carolyn’s hand in mine. She stayed close to me while we talked and exchanged stories, never once leaving my side.

After things died down we decided it was time to head back to our own camps. Thankfully the manager had set up glow-in-the-dark trail markers between the camps, each being the color of the camp it led to.

Carolyn and I walked hand-in-hand down the yellow lit path. My eyes scanned the beautiful view around us. Multicolored lights from other trails danced between the trees, while lightning bugs assisted in brightening our way. The moon occasionally peaked its way through the canopy above us, casting more light down upon the romantic atmosphere.

“You know, I think this is the first time I’m not afraid of being in the dark,” Carolyn said quietly, so as not to break the beautiful moment.

“Why is that?” I asked.

“Because it’s beautiful, and I have you.”

I squeezed her hand and kissed her on the cheek.

We continued walking in silence. A few minutes later I heard a sniffle come from my yeoja chingu. I looked over to see a tear on her cheek, glistening in the yellow tinted light.

“Yebo, what’s wrong?” I asked.

She looked up at me. Her eyes were glossy so I knew she must’ve been crying.

“We only have a month and a half left together,” she whispered. “I don’t want you to leave me.”

“Oh Carolyn…”

I tried to think of something comforting to tell her, but what was there to say? We both knew I couldn’t stay, and visiting just wouldn’t be the same. The fact was: We’d eventually have to breakup.

“Let’s just not think about it, okay? These past five weeks with you have surely been the best weeks of my life. Let’s make the last five weeks just as enjoyable, if not even better!” It was all I could think to say.

“Okay Oppa,” she squeaked, trying to stop her tears and regain control of her emotions. “I’ll try to be strong for you.”

“That’s my aga,” I smiled. “Hey let’s catch some fireflies! We don’t see them that often in Korea. We can put them in this,” I held up the empty water bottle in my hand which I’d gotten from Minho’s campsite before we left (it was obviously full when I took it, but a man’s gotta hydrate!).

“Okay Oppa!” she smiled at me. “But my family doesn’t call them fireflies; we call them wishes, because every time you catch once you have to make a wish! But it won’t come true until you release them!”

“Then we better not forget to set them free when we’re done!”

Carolyn was the first to catch one of the light-up-bugs. She closed her eyes and I listened hard as she mumbled her wish under her breath.

“I wish that Taeminnie Oppa could stay forever.”

Her words made me smile.

“Here Oppa, put it in the water bottle, quick!”

I opened the lid to the bottle and the dumped the little bug inside. I watched as he flew around inside the plastic, amazed by his little light switching on and off.

“Teach me how to catch them Carolyn!” I exclaimed, setting down the water bottle.

We spent the night, chasing after wishes.
