In just a blink of an eye, the day of our class outing has arrived. As instructed by Ms. Seo and Mr. Lee, the whole class is

suppose to arrive on campus no later than 7:22am or else we'll be left behind.

Being the sleepy head that I am, I luckily managed to arrive right when the clock struck the deadline.

“Ah, Ms. Jung, how nice of you to join us, and you as well Mr. Kim” Mr. Lee smiled at me and then at Stephen who also just

arrived, and I thought I would be the last one to show up. Oh well, at least Mr. Lee didn't give me another lecture on why a

lady shouldn't be sleeping all the time. I mean has Mr. Lee not have heard of beauty sleep, no wonder he's skin is looking

unhealthy.

“Alright everyone, it's officially 7:22, so we will now depart.” Ms. Seo smiled and everyone cheered and then began to

move towards the chartered buses.

“Wait, wait.” Ms. Seo stopped everyone from getting on.

“Alright, now, before we leave I need to tell you all that I along with your other teachers, have decided that this trip will be a

little competition.” Mr. Lee revealed.

“Eh?!?” Everyone voiced out and began to talk amongst themselves.

“Everyone settle down, and let Mr. Lee finish his explanation okay.” Ms. Seo somehow managed to shut everyone up.

“Thank you Ms. Seo, okay as I was saying. This competition isn't normal. I'm sure by now you all know that in business

being fast on your feet and making split second decisions can make or break your company. So this competition will both

be a physical and academic competition. Before you all start to complain, I want to make it clear that this is not an

individual competition. In fact, you will be in pairs. Oh and the prize for the winners is a trip to Jeju island.” Mr. Lee

explained earning a loud YAY! From most of us, except for me, Tiffany, and Taeyeon, since Jeju island isn't even new to

us anymore, since we basically can go to jeju like right now and come back the same day if we really wanted to. Oh well at

least this outing is getting interesting.

After Mr. Lee's explanation, people began to form their pairs.

“Oh wait we almost forget.” Ms. Seo began, “But you won't be choosing your partners. We have decided to put all the guys

names in a hat and each of the girls will draw a name. Now we decided for the teams to be this way so no team has an

advantage for having both girls or both guys okay. Also, no switching partners. Oh and your partner will also be your

roommate. Okay so all the girls please line up and pick out a name.” Ms. Seo beamed.

Oh great, not only can't I not partner up with Tiffany but I'm going to be stuck with some guy, that I probably don't know.

Whatever, I guess I can tolerate it unless my partner somehow ends up being Stephen, but I'm like 22nd in line so I'm sure

some other girl will pick his name before me right?

“Hmph, I don't like this.” Tiffany ssaid while we were standing in line.

“Why? It sounds interesting.” I smiled.

“Yeah~ but what happens if some flirty girl picks out my Taetae's name? That means that those two are technically going to

have to be together the entire time!” Tiffany groaned in frustration.

“Someone's feeling insecure.” I teased, earning a glare and a playful slap on my arm.

“That's not funny Jessi. You know how popular Tae is.” She pouted.

“Yeah, but so are you.” I chuckled at my pouting best friend.

“Aish~ whatever Jessi, but if some other girl calls out my Taetae's name it will go down even worse than in World War Z.”

Tiffany threatened.

“Yeah but what if you end up with Tae?” I asked.

“Oh, well that would mean that destiny and the heavens and God are all rooting for Taetae and I.”Tiffany eye-smiled her

mood becoming cheery once again.

“Okay, well let's see if that's true it's your turn.” I chuckled and she picked out a name from the hat.

“So Ms. Hwang who is your partner?” Ms. Seo asked.

“It's Kim Taeyeon.” Tiffany beamed and showed Ms. Seo and everyone else the piece of paper with Taeng's name on it.

“Jessi Fighting^^” Tiffany encouraged, before making her way back towards her dorky boyfriend.

“Okay Ms. Jung, who is your partner?” Ms. Seo asked.

“It's..” I opened up the fold.

Holy crap! WTF?!? Why does my best friend have to have better luck than me?! Great just great a whole 2 nights and 3

days with this guy. Does the heavens hate me or what? Like damn.

“Well?” Ms. Seo asked, getting a little impatient, jeez I never knew Ms. Seo had very little patience, I mean with Mr. Lee I

would understand, oh well whatever.

“My partner is Stephen Kim..” I managed to say without sounding y, pissed off, or annoyed. Which surprised me by a

lot.

About half an hour later everyone is already paired up.

“Okay, guys, from now on, you and your partner will be together like 2 peas in a pod, so make sure you all get along well, I

mean you are all college students, so I don't expect you to behave like children.” Mr. Lee said, before everyone boarded

the buses.

Great just great, now I have to be with that jerk the whole time! There goes my enjoyable first and most probably last class

outing.. Stupid Stephen!

“Jessica-shi would you like to take the window seat or the outside seat?” Stephen asked before it was our turn to board the

bus, but I just ignored him and took our assigned, yes assigned seat. Stephen and I had to sit in seat #7, but thank heavens

Tiffany's seat, #9, is just right behind us.

“Alright, the window seat for you it is.” I heard Stephen sarcastically mumble before taking his seat.

This guy! He irritates me so damn much! Like argg!! I just can't stand him! It's taking every ounce of self restraint I have not

to harm this child!!

Okay, Jessica, calm down, it's not good for your skin if I stress over Stephen. Let's just keep calm and forget that Stephen is

even here. Yeah, let's just close our eyes, and take a nap.

Stephen's POV

We've been in the bus for probably about half an hour now and I notice that Jessica is fast asleep, well I should have

expected that knowing how much of a sleepy head she is, but isn't she uncomfortable with her head bobbing up and down

like that and occasionally hitting the window? I wanted to rest her head on my shoulder but I was too afraid of what will

happen when she wakes up and realizes her head was resting on my shoulder. I mean I don't want her to hate me more

than she already does, since it's already hard to keep my secret. But good thing Taeng asked me to get them that list or

else they might have found out about me. And I don't think Sic..I mean Jessica is ready to know yet, especially with her

hatred towards me.

So I just left her the way she is, mean huh, but what can I do, unless by pure luck, her head ends up resting on my shoulder

on it's... oh that gives me an idea.

I'm sure Jessica will be angry with me if I purposely put her head on my shoulder but if she was the one that rested her

head on my shoulder than I wouldn't be at fault. But how can I do that...Ah I know! If tiffany accidentally kicks Jessica's
