31

The Boy Next Door (Discontinued)

It was the evening of that day and finally after so many hours they finally got to the site. CAP parked the truck not far from the actual site and turned off the ignition. He turned to Eunhee, who was still sleeping, and shook her shoulder. “Eunhee wake up, we’re here now.” Eunhee shifted in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes and glanced around. She sighed and nodded her head and got out of the truck, and CAP did the same. CAP saw Eunhee stretching her limbs and groaned when she cracked her back.

                CAP went to the backseat door and opened it, but was surprised when Nicole came falling out of the door. As a reflect CAP instantly caught her before she really fell. “Oh dear god,” CAP awkwardly held on to her, trying to push her back in to the car.

                “What are you doing?”

                CAP turned his head and saw Chunji staring at him weird, or more like glaring daggers at the guy. CAP looked at him innocently, “I swear to god I didn’t do anything,” CAP reassured the younger one, “She just fell over and I caught her.”

                Chunji just continued to glare at the older guy with all his might, not caring about everything. Eunhee, who was still on the other side, was staring at the two, not really caring about it. Eunhee was still feeling a little lethargic and couldn’t comprehend what’s going. She was still tired and without even thinking she opened the truck door and she instantly felt an impact falling on her chest. That instantly woke her up and she looked down and saw Changjo leaning on her chest, sleeping. “Uhh,”

                CAP looked at Eunhee, who was awkwardly holding Changjo, “Oh, I forgot to tell you that all three of them are sleeping.”

                Eunhee glared at him, “Yeah, thanks.” She sarcastically told him. CAP gave her a sheepish smile, and Chunji sighed. He jumped out of the back and walked to CAP and took Nicole from him. CAP took a step back and stared at the younger man, mumbling, “So freaking defensive, even if the girl isn’t yours.”

                “Okay, we know that Chunji is defensive to a girl that isn’t his, but really I have a freshman leaning on me and he’s a lot heavier than me, and his weight is too much and can someone just come over here and get him!” Eunhee screamed, waking up Niel, but only making Changjo stir in his sleep.

                “Oh are we here?” asked Niel.

                “Yes, now get Changjo.”

                Niel looked at him and then at Eunhee, he shook his head and ignored her. “Daniel!” Niel jumped in his seat and thinking that he shouldn’t further anger Eunhee he gently took Changjo away from Eunhee. Eunhee shook her head and stared at the guys. “So we here?”

                CAP looked at her from the other open door and nodded his head. “We’re here, and I think everyone is sleeping. It’s like… don’t know the time, but it’s probably in the evening and we still need to get to the actual site and set up the tents and make food… for Ricky.”

                Eunhee let out a breath and ruffled her hair. “God, why is everything so complicated?”

                “It’s not that complicated. It’s just we’re wasting time.” Chunji nodded his head, who was still holding on to Nicole.

                 “Then let’s get a move on.”

                Eunhee told Niel to wake Changjo up and shut the car door, which Niel complained for. She saw CAP wake up Ricky, roughly. Eunhee passed by the side of the truck the same time L.Joe jumped out of the truck, landing right in front of Eunhee. Eunhee let out a shriek at the sudden appearance of L.Joe. She blinked her eyes rapidly, her hand over her heart, she could feel it pounding against her chest. “God, you almost gave me a heart attack!”

                L.Joe looked at her and turned away and walked away, not before mumbling, “Sorry.” Eunhee stared at the back of L.Joe’s head as he walked away from her. She was confused at his sudden coldness towards her and frowned, What was that about?

                Not for away from Eunhee, Chunji witness the scene and couldn’t help but sigh. He knew why L.Joe was acting like that and couldn’t help but feel really bad for Eunhee. He saw her walk up to him. She stood in front of him and pointed at Nicole, whom he didn’t notice he was still carrying. “I can take her if you want.” Chunji looked at her and nodded his head, handing Nicole to her.

                Chunji looked at Eunhee and patted her shoulder, “Don’t take L.Joe seriously, he’s probably still tired from the ride.”

                Eunhee looked at him, confused at what he was getting at, but nevertheless she nods her head.

 

-------

 

After waking Nicole up, they all grabbed some equipment and walked to their site to set up. All was heard was the sound of Nicole’s constant complains that her feet hurt and that she was really tired. Everyone was getting fed up with it but didn’t say much about it; surprisingly enough Eunhee didn’t speak up, which was weird since she’ll be the first one to speak up when Nicole gets annoying. But this time it was calm and collected Changjo- or well he was calm and collected.

                “Noona, for the love of god stop complaining! We’re almost there so just stop complaining.”

                Nicole stopped walking and stared the younger guy, “Did you just shout at me? Did Changjo seriously just shout at me?”

                “Yes Nicole, so be quiet and keep moving.” Said Eunhee, whom had enough of her constant complaining and decided to speak up about it. Nicole pouted but nevertheless kept quiet until they reached the site.

                After a couple of minutes of walking they finally reached the site. It was nice and open and free from the other campers camping in the area.

                “Okay, we’ll set up the tents while you girls go get the wood from the truck that Ricky forgot to bring up.” CAP told them.

                “I said I was sorry!” Ricky whined, but he only got a glare in return.

                “Yeah we could go get it.” Nicole told CAP, which she got a smile in return. Nicole grabbed Eunhee’s hand and they both walked down the way to the truck.

 

----------

 

The two girls walked down the path to the truck in silence, but Eunhee was suddenly attacked with questions from Nicole. “So who’s the real guy you find attractive in Teen Top, is it Changjo, because if it is I won’t blame you he’s a pretty good looking freshman, it can’t be Niel or Ricky is it, because that would be really weir-“

                “Oh my god Nicole be quiet,” Eunhee groaned, “You’re giving me a headache. “

                The said girl pouted, “But you promised to tell me who you really find attractive.”

                “I’ll tell you with that one question, no the many coming after that.”

                “Oh… so will you tell me?”

                Eunhee sighed, “It’s… L.Joe…”

                Nicole abruptly stopped walking, which caused Eunhee to stop as well. She looked at her and saw her with wide open. “Oh. My. God.” Nicole blinked her eyes before a grin appeared across her face. “You like him!!”

                That caused Eunhee to groan again and start walking again, stuffing her hands into her jacket. “I’m not going through this.”

                “But you find him attractive! That must mean something!” Nicole shouted at her.

                “I’m leaving Nicole.”

                “You won’t leave me here.”

                “What am I doing right now?”

                Nicole watched Eunhee walking away from her, not stopping to wait for her.

                “Eunhee,”

                “…”

                “Yah, wait for me!”

 

----------

 

As the girls were getting the wood that was left behind by a very forgetful Ricky, the guys were setting up the tents for everyone. Since there were only two girls, Eunhee and Nicole, they get their own tents, and they guys decided to split the six of them from older to youngest. This will leave CAP, Chunji and L.Joe in one tent, while Niel, Ricky and Changjo in the other.

                Ricky and Changjo were doing their tent, while CAP and Niel did the hyung line’s tent, and Chunji and L.Joe did the girl’s tent. While everyone was setting up their respective tent, Chunji thought this was the perfect opportunity to talk to L.Joe.

                “So you were pretty dazed during the car ride here,” Chunji told him, while trying to put the poles together.

                “I was?”

                “Oh you didn’t notice?” L.Joe shook his head. “Oh well you were, and it seems like you were thinking about something. I could be wrong.” Chunji shrugged his shoulders.

                L.Joe stopped what he was doing and looked at the slightly older man. He knew something was going on with Chunji. He knew Chunji wanted to say something, but that’s the thing with Chunji, he can’t come out and say what’s really on his mind. For example: he can’t go up and tell Nicole that he’s been crushing on her for what 2 years now.

                “If you have something say just say it already.”

                “What do you mean?”

                See?

                “You want to ask me something but you won’t tell me, and that always happens when I’m with you sometimes.” L.Joe told him, while putting the pole into the tent, “You’re never upfront when you want, which is annoying, but I love you, you’re my best friend, but seriously man you need to come out and say what you want-“

                “Are you in love again?”

                L.Joe instantly dropped what he was holding and stared wide eyes at Chunji, who was staring right back at him, not saying at word.

                “W-what?”

                “You had the exact same look from middle school. And you know what happened after that. You didn’t just leave for a ‘better education’.”

                L.Joe stared at Chunji, completely lost of words to say. “I-“

                “We’re back!”

                They both turned and saw Eunhee and Nicole back from getting the woods. The same time Eunhee and L.Joe made eye contact. Chunji saw the eye contact and saw how L.Joe quickly turned away, not wanting to continue the eye exchange. Chunji thought about what just happened, and like his mind just finally put the pieces together, he widens his eyes. L.Joe’s in love with Eunhee?
