Chapter 4: Of Question Marks & Trip to Sunset Chapter 4 Theme Song: Wait Yo! (aka Why?) by ZE:A     ♥♥♥     Silence. Maybe it's better this way. Better than having to talk about anything I don't want to talk about. Let's see, have I took everything that needed to be brought for this little trip? Torchlight just in case, money in case the allocated money isn't enough, cup noodles in case they didn't prepare food to cook up there, water, matches, blanket. Well, I think for one day, should be good enough. We're lucky we have excuse to not record our journey to the location because we're hiking, how on Earth are you going to record yourself hiking? Us girls were asked to choose either beach, waterfall, lake or mountain. And I purposely chose mountain. For two reasons. One being that, if my partner is Bang Chulyong, then I'll get my revenge on him for always treating me and even other girls without respect. Haa! I may not gain popularity with them boys, but the girls will think of me as their hero if they knew I'm choosing the hard task of climbing the mountain for the sake of getting our sweet revenge on that kid.   "Seungah noona,...can we...stop...rest for a bit."   I turned to my back, to see quite a big gap between us as he struggled to make his way up, looking like he'd die at any second. So, I had to stop. I myself am surprised that I have managed to outclimb this kid, without showing half as tiredness as him. But unfortunately, my partner is not Bang Chulyong.   "Ommo, Hyungsikkie, are you alright? The next stop is probably less than one kilometres away. Think you can hold on till we reach there?"   He nodded.   And that, is the weirder part than not having Mir as my partner. Jei told me during breakfast, that she saw PD nim talked to Hyungsik and showed him the envelope Jihyun had chosen earlier. I'm freakin' sure the PD told Hyungsik to choose that envelope. Question is, how did he end up with the blue one? Mine.   And the bigger problem is, at this moment, I don't feel prepared to spend a whole day with any of the guys but Mir. Shocking? Don't be. So far, Mir has annoyed me many, many times, but he hasn't hurt me once. He didn't like me and I didn't like him. He didn't lead me to think he had feelings for me and that there's a possibility for us to end up as a happy, compatible couple, even in the show. I mean, when I'm really angry, I'd feel like I want to kill him. He angers me so much, but do I hate him? We could at least co-exist in the same place just to make the viewers laugh even if there's definitely no romance in the air wherever we are. I can appreciate his honesty, at the least.   Unlike Jaebum. Who had manage to deceive me over and over, and turned me into an idiot they probably laughed at behind my back. Just imagine the embarrassment I had to go through, everytime the other girls gushed how nice he was to them, how he easily chose Jei after just half date with her where he had to even share her with Minjun oppa, and everytime I heard the rumours of him kept picking Jihyun over myself. Jihyun, who he never had a chance to talk or have a date with yet, over me whom already become his partner twice, If he ever had date with Hyejeong, he'd even choose her over me. I guess, I stood that low in his ranking. I am afterall, an old, boring noona who's probably not pretty enough for him. Yes, he did made me feel good at first, but it was all an act.    I'm glad at least I don't have to pair with him again. Truthfully, after being humiliated time and again...I don't know how to face him anymore. I feel so devastated at the sight of him, in a different way than how I'm annoyed at Jihyun.   The sight of him smiling, now, cuts me. How feelings can easily change in a few days huh?   "Noona, here." A coke can landed on my palm. It was chill.   "Hyungsik, are you serious? The weather is cold."   "That's why. The carbon dioxide in it will warm your body."   Pft. Seriously? I broke into unexpected laugh.    "Really, I'm serious. Our trainer told us that." The funnier thing is, he really did look serious. I can imagine him being cheated a lot by people around him if he's this trusting.   "Okay." I shrugged and opened the can. I won't make a big drama over a drink even if it's not my favourite in this windy weather.   "I bought some food too at the stall." I looked over inside the paper bag he shoved, looks like potato croquettes. The drinks, the food, everything kept bringing back the memories of the first day of filming. My first date, with Jaebum. At that time, he was totally like a kid. But seeing how different Hyungsik's choices of things were, Jaebum can be Hyungsik's hyung. Haha. Really, how did Miss Popular even fell for this kid? Or did she even fell for him, or just see him as a trophy boy? Because he really does look like one.   "Take one." He probably saw my hesitation.   "Ah, it's..." Before I could finish my sentence, he started eating. Well...    "Oh, this one is potatoes...here, this one is for you." And he took another paper bag he's been hiding somewhere. Probably another outrageous thing I don't even like, but...if I can tolerate Mir's attitude, there's no reason for me to reject this thoughtfulness even if it's done cluelessly. I opened the paperbag to see...sweet potatoes, baked, and still warm. But why? How...   "But...this...how did you..."   "So, you really do like sweet potatoes, right? That's why I bought potatoes for myself. You won't be tempted to steal mine, right, noona?"   "Haha. Well, yes, I won't. But how did you know?"   "Remember before we start our journey we went back home for a short while to pack things up?...Jaebum told me about it, and he asked me to take good care of noona."   That's...funny, yet it still manage to startle and confused me for a second, before I forced myself to be reminded that this is Jaebum we're talking about. I've let myself confused and deceived so many times because of his sweetness. Why treat me nice if all he cares about is getting Miss Nam for himself? Heh. No thanks. He's an indecisive pushover, maybe he's just too naive. But clearly he doesn't even know what he really wants or what he's doing. If I let myself get into this kind of gesture he's probably playing with everyone to win good marks in their book, I will be disappointed again. I wasn't joking when I said I'm serious about this show. If you can't give me real feelings, even for just these 10 days, then don't give me anything. Times like this, Mir looks like a crazily good guy. Absurd huh? No way he'd ever hear this from my mouth.    "Noona, Jaebum seems like he really likes you."   "Oh yeah?" I took out a piece of the sweet potato and peeled off the skin, while letting the paper bag rest in between us at the pit stop hut we stopped by to rest before continuing journey to the mountain top. I didn't want to give anymore response that would only further embarrass myself. What was he expecting me to say? That I like that little kid too? So that he could tell everybody and everyone could feel sorry for me when that little kid picks another girl? Huh, no. I'd rather let this topic die now.   "Noona, do you...like Mir?"   "What?! Are you crazy?"   "Then...why did you asked to change partner just now? Nobody has done that. Do you dislike me that much?"   Okay. I did not expect he would bring that up. Just...don't talk about 'that' thing.   "Do you like seeing Jihyun with Mir? Of all people...Mir, and Jihyun?"   He was silenced by my comeback at his question. But I know his answer. He's very transparent actually, he may look blank from afar, but once you're seated next to him and watch him closely...he's not that blank.   "No, right? Then why didn't you agree for the change?"   "I...couldn't do that." He looked away.   I knew the real reason. He must've felt sorry for me, because the moment I suggested the change, Mir started protesting. If Hyungsik had ag
