Usually whenever students spent the night outside of school as part of a certain curriculum subject, the school would make sure to uphold it's wealthy reputation by accomodating the whole group in some nearby 5 star hotel, though finding any signs of civilisation within the forest surrounded by valleys and mountains wasn't the easiest to accomplish, though the school board had made sure the parents understood the requirements of the trip, ensuring them that their safety would be their first priority, next to extremely expensive equipments, and tents the size of a small house would be used, to exude Belle's legacy of spoilt heads. All quite unnecessary since the point of the Outdoor Education trip was survival, which required no technology whatsoever, though no student ever in the history of humanity followed that order, bringing the latest smartphones which was quite pointless due to low to no signal around the area where class 51, class 60 and class 13 and class 7 were headed for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mino sighed, looking out the bus window as he recalled the events of T-ara's party.....

*That night*
"YAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY JINWOO?!?!" Mino shouted.
Mino stumbled across the opening, attempting to run, walk, crawl to the bench all the way to the other side without making a fool out of himself by falling. He had turned sober over the short period of time, though alcohol was still playing around his body and sight.
"Dude what the ?!"
"YAH, GET OFF MY JINWOO!" Mino shouted at the blonde, everything was still blurry so he couldn't tell who the figure was.
Jinwoo released the blonde's from his mouth with a hidden smirk before attending to the clearly intoxicated figure stumbling infront of them.
"Minoya, it's Rachel your cousin? Remember? Do I look like Jinwo-"
"You're related to Song Mino?" The blonde questioned him, still stiff and standing in the cold air.
Jinwoo noded, well Rachell Yoo was, not him. Jamaica? What the Taehyun.
"Oh - Mino sorry." The blonde quickly zipped up his tight, extremely tight jeans, superbly tight jeans before walking away from the maze.
"Yah, Jinwoo...."
"Mino, you're drunk." Jinwoo assisted the other to sit, Mino obediently accepted.
"Jinwoo..." Mino looked up with pleading eyes. Jinwoo sighed. He was drunk himself, but something about taking care of other drunk people seemed to sober him up quickly.
"Minoya, you're still drunk. Take care of yourself okay?" Jinwoo turned his back and started to walk back towards the mansion.
Jinwoo gasped as his movement was anchored by a pair of arms. Mino wrapped his arms around the other's small waist as he back hugged the older.
Jinwoo looked up the night sky, seeing the stars scattered across the sky.

Mino, remember how you would always show up afterschool at the gates? At first I didn't know why but I just went with it. As weeks went by I grew to like your presence, it actually became my favourite part of the day even though I love learning. Mino, remember how every time I had some afterschool activity, I would still see you waiting for me at the gates even though it was night, you endured the cold so many times. Mino, remember how every time it would be dark, you would hold my hands just so you can warm me up, always complaining how cold I was. You would always back hug me whenever we waited for the crossing signals to go green. You would always look up and watch the stars twinkling at night. You would always point out the constellations right before my eyes. You would always hug me tighter whenever a breeze came by. Even though it was our turn to cross the road, we would just stay in our spot. Warm. Comfortable. Safe. Minoya.
"......"Jinwoo sighed, he was about to take off the other's arms when he felt hot tears stream down his neck.

Mino, remember whenever you came over, you would always talk about how lonely you were as a child? Even now, you would complain to being alone even at the company of WINNER.

"Jinwooyah..." Mino's voice cracked as he mouthed out the older's name.

Mino, remember how everytime you talked about being lonely you would look at me with those eyes. At first I never really thought about them, but as time flew by I saw your pain, your struggles, that no matter how poor or rich a person was, everyone had something to deal with.

Jinwoo felt more tears stream down his neck as Mino hugged tighter, burying his face more.

All the late nights we stay up together, all the late nights we text each other, all the late nights you would just hug me, all the late nights we would stare into each other's eyes. Mino, do you remember?

..
...
....
Jinwoo turned around, looking down at the other who was sobbing on his chest. He tiled Mino's chin with his finger, seeing the other's face lined with tears.
"Let's get you cleaned up." Jinwoo weakly mumbled as he wiped the other's tears away with his thumb.

--------------------------------------------------

Mr. Lee stepped out of the bus. Expensive bus. The homeroom teacher of class 51 inhaled the fresh scent of mother nature's forest before talking to his students who were collecting their luggages from the side of the bus. Expensive bus.
"Everyone, welcome to the great outdoors, there is a nearby lobby building just ahead, so please take care of each other as we walk there." Mr. Lee announce to his student with a soft tone before smiling and walking towards the said building. Though everyone seemed to stop and baffle at how..... non aggresive and dying of oxygen from shouting every single second of his life Mr.Lee was. It was probably the scenery, and no one could blame him for that. Seunghoon smiled as he collected his luggages, this weekend was certainly going to be peaceful without the screeching horn that Mr. lee was.

"Hmm... weird." Taehyun mumbled as he searched through the pile of bags for his own. He only bought two, when the rest of the girls owned 6 or more luggages just for a weekend trip.
"What is it?" Seungyoon asked, handing Taehyun's bag before searching his own.
"The place seems pretty empty." Taehyun replied, handing Seungyoon's bag.
"It's a forest.....surrounded by a valley." Seungyoon replied, handing Taehyun's last bag.
"No I mean, where are the other homerooms?" Taehyun asked, handing Seungyoon's last bag.
"Being in the same homeroom as Mino has its perks. The school probably gave us the fastest and latest bus to use." Seungyoon replied, wrapping his hand around the other's waist while carrying his two bags in the other.
"True that. Remember how his dad even installed floor heating in every classroom Mino attended?" Taehyun replied, wrapping his hand around the other's waist while carrying his two bags in the other.
"What are we talking about?" Seunghoon joined in the conversation, running in between the two, disrupting the connection, the love.
"Thirdwheel." Seungyoon whispered.
" Block." Taehyun whispered.
"What?" Seunghoon asked.
"Nothing." Both said in unison.
"Anyway, did you get laid on T-ara's party?" Seungyoon asked the other.
"Yeah." Seunghoon replied non chalantly with a grin on his face.
"Wiithout going to Peaches and Cream?" Taehyun asked the other.
"....." Seunghoon pouted before leaving the two behind to walk beside Mino who was all the way at the front of the crowd.

----------------------------------------

Hanbin looked out the bus window as he studied the scenery. He felt Jinwoo's head rest on his shoulder, Hanbin couldn't help but smile at the sight.
"Why is Rachel already sleeping? It's only 10:00am and we haven't even arrived at the camp yet." Bobby blurted out, playing on his new Iphone6.
"She was busy packing her stuff last night." Hanbin smiled, the other's hair. Wig.
"She was at your place last night?" Bobby asked, gazing away from his screen and staring at the IKON leader.
"I...uhh..Nah she.. just forgot something and dropped by." Hanbin stuttered, looking outside the bus window again. Bobby smiled with his infamous eyes before grinning at the other.
"She left something behind? As in she was at your place before?" Bobby asked the other, though Hanbin uncomfortably shuffled in his seat, careful as to not disturb the sleeping Jinwoo. It was strange. Through the weeks Jinwoo has been staying with him, he could never get over how beautiful the other was, male or female, especially whenever Jinwoo slept.
"Is that why you haven't been inviting IKON over? Because you and her..you know."  Bobby winked, before receiving a smack in the head by the leader.
"Yah! Do I look like some bastard that goes to Peaches and Cream every Saturday night?" Hanbin scolded the other. Clearly eyeing Bobby out.
"Excuse me. I go there not for , Fei is actually quite nice as a person." Bobby replied, diverting his attention back to his brand new Iphone6.
"I bet you her right after." Hanbin muttered under his breath.
"WHAT!?!?!!"
"Yah! Rachel is sleeping! Shut up or I'll bend your phone." Hanbin smacked the other's head again. This trip was going to be long...

----------------------------------------

"Since the other homerooms arrived late, we had no choice but to cancel today's scheduled events, and so since it's already 10:30pm we have no choice but to follow the briefing and make you all sleep. Since it had come to this, students are to sleep in the lobby building for tonight, however this trip is for basic survival skills because there are reports of stupid people at your age getting drunk and getting themselves lost in the woods, eventually dying." Mr. Lee recited in one breath, surprising everyone in the building. It was as if he had lost all the years of stress from teaching.
"Due to the purpose of this trip, you are more than welcome to sleep outside for the night. If that is your wish then come to one of the homeroom teachers, we will give you the required tent, but you will have to set it up yourselves." Mr. Lee smiled at the students all around the room, baffling everyone, including the teachers.
"We know that it is natural to be competitive towards other homerooms, but feel free to interact with each other."  With that, Mr. Lee walked out of the building to get some more delicious and calming fresh air from the night. Everyone in the lobby started to scatter everywhere, preparing themselves for the cold forest night.

Jinwoo was about to head to where Hanbin was but was stopped when someone held his hand.
"Jinw- Rachel. Come, let's camp tonight." Mino smiled as he led the older.
"Mino....Actually I was going with Han-"
"Come! There's no lights outside, so we'll see the stars clearer." Mino grabbed Jinwoo's belongings and led the other outside, but Jinwoo anchored him.
"Mino..You do remember how girls and boys are meant to be kept seperate." Jinwoo looked at the other with concern. Though Mino just looked at the him with a 'are you seriously going to follow that rule even though you're a guy yourself' look.
"Well...Rachel, if we hurry no one will see us." Mino quickly blurted out. Before Jinwoo could reply he found himself being dragged outside in the cool night.

"Mr. Song." Mr. Lee called out, catching the two in their tracks.
Jinwoo's body froze. .
"Uhh..Good evening Mr.Lee." Mino bowed in front of his homeroom teacher.
"Are you planning to sleep outside tonight?" Mr.Lee asked Mino, though paying no attention to Jinwoo whatsoever.
"Uhh.. Yes sir."
"And have you got all the necessary equipment?"
Mino held up the duffle bag.
"And you are planning to sleep outside with this female student?"
"Uhh..actually Mr.Lee we're cousins." Jinwoo nervously put in his comment.
..
....
......
"Okay, have fun." Mr. Lee smiled before walking away.

Mino and Jinwoo looked at each other in disbelief.
"Uhh...what?"

--------------------------------------------------

"Bobby, have you seen Rachel?" Hanbin poked the other's shoulder, distracting him from setting up his sleeping arrangements.
"Who? No, wasn't she just with you before?" Bobby blurted out, admist the Little Asia noodles in his mouth.
"I know but.....YAH WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE?"
"What? This? I ordered it before I came on the bus." Bobby stepped away from the others, he wasn't going to let anyone have them. No one.
Hanbin sighed and walked around the room. He was about to contact Jinwoo, but he remembered phones were utterly useless around this area.

--------------------------------------------------

"Jinwoo....why were you with so much guys at that party?" Mino hesitantly asked. He hasn't seen the older at school since Monday night's party. Last time he said something to the older, no one saw him for two weeks straight. But no matter how hard Mino tried to convince himself of Jinwoo's pure nature, no matter how much possibilities he tried to imagine, he needed to know why Jinwoo was doing all this. The outfits, hanging out with people that he knew Jinwoo didn't even like, though the problem was that Jinwoo wasn't living life as himself, but rather as Rachel.
"How come you didn't come to school for so long?"
...
"What is it because of me?"
...
"Why are you living your life like this?"
...
"And.... Why are you with Hanbin?"
...
"Jinwoo."
Jinwoo sighed as he continued to observe the stars above him. Mino was the one that dragged him outside to sleep under the stars, though he couldn't help but feel his intentions were to find out about his motives.
"....I wonder if living as a star is tiring?"

Mino turned to his side and observed Jinwoo as he continued to stare at the night sky.
"They're always shining... it must be so tiring."

"Jinwoo..."

"No matter how tired, they still shine bright.... Even if the sun takes their shine away during the day, they still continue to shine all the way to night."

Jinwoo sat up, still keeping his eyes on the night sky.
"Minoya....I've endured to even bring a spark through out my life...." Jinwoo cracked a small laugh, though Mino sat up and glared at the older. He's never seen Jinwoo this way before.
"But....the only way I think I can live now is to be invisible..." Jinwoo looked down as hot tears streamed down his face. Mino was about to wipe his tears away, but the older gently waved his hand away. He could only glare at Jinwoo with great concern.
"On that night you confessed your feelings, I ran away....."
...
"I ran away because I didn't want my feelings to get attached." Jinwoo wiped his tears away as he gazed up again at the night sky. Mino saw the sparkle of stars in his eyes as more tears streamed down his face.
"...I thought you ran away because you didn't feel the same way." Mino stared at the older. Though Jinwoo could only chuckle.
"No...I loved you."
..
...
....
"But... I was scared that you would disappear in my life." He didn't want to think about it, yet his memory would always betray him. The bullying eventually found its way back to Jinwoo's life once Hanbin moved away. He was a fool, depending on someone else to make his life more positive when he himself couldn't even do that. He couldn't help but feel abandoned, although time heals wounds, scars will always remain. And so Jinwoo promised himself that he will live his life independantly. He couldn't, he didn't want to have to lean on someone else whenever he needed help. And so he wanted to resolve everything wrong in his life, by himself and only by himself.
Jinwoo chuckled before wiping his tears away, he stood and was about to go inside the tent Mino had set up when the other took his hand.

"Jinwoo, you're the only person I've opened up to.... All my problems, all my troubles I've told you. You stayed up multiple nights and talked to me when I was alone, you came over and provided company when I was alone."

Jinwoo noticed Mino gripping his hand tighter.

"You're someone I shared my pain with."

Jinwoo turned around and looked into Mino's teary eyes.

"So.... share your pain.....with me."
