Screams and laughs echoed through the hall. Everyone was excited to go the camping. You were with your friends. They kept on teasing you to the guy who just confessed to you named, Sehun. He’s tall and handsome. Your friends wondered why you declined a guy like him.

*I’m engaged, duh.* You sighed. *Should I just tell them? Besides, they’re my friends. So I guess it’s okay.*

“And I already have someone I like.” You mumbled in a very low tone. Unfortunately, Jay heard it. “Mwo? Why didn’t you tell us? Who is it? Who is it?” Jay shook you as he stomped his feet. Jay is nineteen yet he acts like a five year old kid.

“You’re hearing things, Jay. I did not say anything.” You defended yourself.

“Nooo! I heard it! You like someone!” Jay shouted.  People looked at your way, including Myungsoo.

*Wait... what? Jiyeon likes someone?* Myungsoo raised his eyebrow. Myungsoo’s eyes stumbled upon his friend, Sehun. He looked really down since then. “Hey, dude.” Myungsoo sat beside him and nudged his shoulder.

“Leave me alone.” Sehun said. “Hey, don’t be such a kid. What happened?”

Sehun sighed in disappointment. “There’s this girl that I like and I confessed to her a while ago... but she doesn’t like me,” Tears began to flow on Sehun’s eyes. “Shhh. It’s okay...” Myungsoo patted his back. *Poor kid. The girl that he likes declined him.* “So can you tell me who’s this girl?” He asked.

“Ji---“ Sehun was cut off by Kris. “Dude, why are you crying?” Kris ran towards Sehun.

“He got dumped.” Myungsoo shook his head.

“Ohhh. It’s okay, dude. There’s still a lot of girls out there. Let’s go to our bus.” They stood up from their seat, grabbed their bags and went inside the bus.

Myungsoo glanced at you one last time, before closing the door. *See you later.* He smirked.

~~~

“Woah! This is so nice!” Minah exclaimed.

“I know right!” Eunmi agreed.

Everyone went to their groups. Luckily, you have Minah in your group.

“Let’s go, Minah.” You said as you grabbed her wrist and followed your group.

Soon, you got to your group’s cabin. The leader told you your room number. You got the same room with Minah. *Must be a lucky day.* You grinned. You felt happy because you’re gonna be with your bestfriend.

“Kyaaaaaa~!” Minah hugged you tightly. “We’re in the same room!” She shouted.

“Yeah...” You smiled as you put your belongings inside a cabinet.

You heard someone knocking from the door. “Come in.” You said.

“Jiyeon, Minah, get ready because we need to go outside now.” The leader said.

“Okay.” Minah nodded.

~~~

“As for Jiyeon...” The teacher browsed his notebook once again. “Your partner is Kim Myungsoo.”

The fangirls looked at your way and gave you an irritated look.

Myungsoo smirked and went towards you.

“Hi baby.” He whispered.

“Hey. Don’t call me that on public places.” You said.

“I missed you, baby.” He whispered once again.

You can’t help but to smile. He’s just too sweet to handle.

“I missed you too.” You shyly whispered. “That’s my girl...” He grinned as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder.

You hastily pulled away. “Yah.” You blushed.

Without the both of you knowing, Sehun and Jay had been looking at you.

*Ohhh. So this is the guy my bestfriend likes... Aha!* Jay smiled in accomplishment. 

*They are so sweet. Don’t tell me they’re together? Lucky Myungie...* Sehun pouted.

“Let’s go, Jiyeonnie.” He grabbed your wrist and started listen for the first mission.

“So the first mission is to find the next clue inside the forest. Once you find it, you’ll be able to complete the second mission and so on.” The teacher declared. “Mission starts now!”

The students started to go to their own ways while Myungsoo had been dragging you to who knows where.

“Hey! Where are we going? This isn’t the way!” You wriggled your hand, trying to get off to Myungsoo’s grip. Myungsoo stopped walking and faced you. “Shh. Quiet. I know where can we find the first clue. I saw our teacher putting it somewhere near hear. So just stay quiet and trust me. Okay?” He gave you an assuring smile.

“Okay!” You beamed.

“There!” He let go of your wrist and grabbed the red envelope. He read what it says:

Congratulations! You found the next clue! Now for the second mission, find a green bottle inside the resort. There, you can know what the third mission is.

“Yay!” You jumped with joy. Myungsoo grabbed your hand and intertwined it with his. Both of you started to run. *I’m enjoying this.* You thought.

Soon, you completed five missions and there's still one mission left. You and Myungsoo had been leading the game.

"One more mission, baby!" Myungsoo shouted.

You found a green envelope and read what is says:

Congratulations! Now for the last mission, find an old tree house inside the forest and convince the mysterious old man to tell you where the goal is.

"Looks like this will be harder." You said. "Yeah. Let's go before the sun sets." You followed Myungsoo.

Two hours had passed, you still couldn't find where the tree house is. Your feet started to ache and you couldn't help but to fall down.

"Ouch." You hissed in pain. Myungsoo stopped walking. His eyes widened and he immediately went towards you. He bent and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Seeing you in pain is one of Myungsoo's weaknesses.

"I'm okay... I'm just tired..." You tried to get up but you fell down.

Myungsoo closed his eyes. His heart aches whenever he sees you like that.

"Get on, Jiyeonnie." 

"No... I'm okay..." You said.

"I said get on. One... two..." He insisted.

"Okay. Okay. Fine." You hopped on his back. You can feel the warmth of it. 

"You're not heavy, my princess. Okay! Hold on tightly. The prince will now run!" You smiled as you tightened your grip around him.

Myungsoo ran for like three minutes, and finally, the tree house is already near. "Yay! There it is!"

Myungsoo put you down as he wrapped his arm around your waist to support you from falling.

"Thanks, Myungie myungie. I love you!" You kissed his cheek. He turned crimson as his heart fluttered fast.

He was frozen on his position. You chuckled. "Oy! Wake up!"

"Oh... Oh yeah... where were we?" He asked in confusion.

You chukled again. "Aigoo. Let's go. The tree house is already there." You pinched his nose.

~~~

You knocked the door and waited for someone to open it. 

After a few minutes, an old man in his 70's greeted you with a cheerful smile.

"Hello! Are you here for the mission?" He looked at you and Myungsoo.

"Yes." You nodded.

"Come in..." The old man led you inside.

"My name is Jang Ki beom. You can call me harabeoji." The old man smiled.

"Ah, yeah harabeoji." You nodded.

"You want some drink?" He asked. "No thanks. We're fine." Myungsoo said. Myungsoo looked at you and saw that you were sweating. He grabbed his handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat on your forehead.

"There." Myungsoo smiled.

The old man saw the scene and he couldn't help but to smile also.

"You guys are so sweet. I can tell that you're together." All of you chuckled. "How about you stay here for the meantime? It's already 10:00 PM and I'm already fragile so I don't think I can help you where the goal is."

"Uhm... are you sure?" Myungsoo asked. "Yeah. I have a vacant room upstairs. You both can use it."

"Ah, thank you." You smiled. "So what's your relation with the school staff?" Myungsoo suddenly asked.

"Oh, I'm a retired professor." He said.

Your phone rang as you answered it. 

"Hello?"

"Oh, Jiyeon ah... where are you?"

"Minah... I'm here at the tree house. Please tell our teacher that we will stay here for the meantime."

"Okay. Be careful, alright?"

"Okay. Bye."

The phone call ended.

"I'm sorry for that." You said. "No, it's okay." The old man gave you a smile. "You keep on smiling, harabeoji. It suits you." You said. "Oh, thank you."

"So you live here alone?" Myungsoo asked. "Yes. My son and daughter left me. They already have their own lives." His smile turned into a sad one.

"I'm sorry. It must be painful for you." Myungsoo said. "It's okay. I just hope someday, they can visit me."

"We can help you with that..." You said. "Hey, no... you don't have to..." He shook his head.

The old man stared at you for a long time. "Your face kinda resembles my daughter...."
