Days passed and her willingness to avoid Sehun slowly loosens. She hated to admit it, but her heart started on longing to see him.

Today was the camping day, Jaein jogged to her locker and kept on making fast paces. She putted more effort on rushing because of the heavy backpack and she needed to be soon because the buses was waiting outside and ready to set off in next minutes.

She arrived at her locker and panted heavily, she tucked her hand inside her chest pocket to find the locker’s key. Her heart skipped a beat at the moment she figured out that the key was nowhere inside.

 She also tried to search at both left and right pockets of her pants, but sadly she only found a random washed bubble tea bill that she forgot to throw away.

Jaein scratched her head and grunted as she put her bag and laid it against the locker’s door. She turned her body and cautiously trailed the course she passed and wandered her eyes on the ground as she believed that the key fell down when she ran earlier.

She walked with a bent down head and her finger was tucking her hair strand behind her ear to prevent it from disturbing her vision.

A pair of shoe appeared and burdened her search. In such haste circumstance, she didn’t even bother to look up and immediately took a step to her right, trying to avoid the person in front.

But the shoe remained following her step even on her third try to escape. This time she was pissed and she clicked her tongue.

“Excuse me?” she bluffed and looked up.

Her eyes widened so round and she quickly took a step back as the person turned out to be Sehun.

Jaein considered herself as an idiot for bluffing in such temper towards him. She tried to show a small smile to restrain her embarrassment.

Sehun just stood there with his steady look as she stared at the girl.

“Ex- cuse me...” Jaein repeated her word with a softer voice and quickly stole a gap beside him and escaped. She tried to walk as casual as possible.

Sehun eyed her back and his sight followed her figure. After she has walked a little bit far, the boy started to take a step and now he followed her with paces.

“Ha Jae In!” He called, the girl startled and turned her body towards him. Sehun hooked something on his pointer and showed it to her as he walked nearer.

Jaein stood still and she squint her eyes to see the object clearer. Until he was close enough, she finally could recognize the thing.

“Are you looking for this?” Sehun asked. Jaein’s lips curled up a relived smile and she thanked God.

Sehun was walking out from the toilet and ready to head for the bus. He was drying his wet hand with a handkerchief when someone rushed very quickly and he heard a sound of something that hit the ground.

His eyes noticed a key and he tilted his head right to see the one who dropped it. Unfortunately, that someone has already disappeared and ran behind the corner.

So he took the key and tried to follow the person, he recognize the key’s shape and could tell what that was for. He understood the importance of a locker’s key for a student and decided to help out.

Thus, there he was. He managed to find the owner and not regretted on his own decision, he was grateful instead to see Jaein again after days of her disappearing.

“Yes, that’s mine” She answered with a wide smile. Sehun’s lips frowned up a little bit after he saw the brightened face.

He stretched out his arm and offered the key for her.

“Thank-“

Sehun pulled his hand in quick motion and left Jaein flustered with her hand still in the air. She tilted up her head and found him smirking in enjoyment.

“I wonder if you received my last message-“ Sehun said slowly. Those words ringed a danger bell on Jaein’s mind. She gulped and pursed her lips in one thin line to reduce the nervousness.

“Or not?” He finished.

Jaein pulled her hand from last position and inhaled hard.

Good thing for her that she googled every night about how to get rid of burning cheeks. Sure sounds stupid, but somehow it worked a little bit and she managed to restrain the emotional causes of red shades.

She exhaled and started to lift a voice.

“Did you send any?” She tried to defend herself with a ‘sweet’ smile to hide her anxiety but sadly she didn’t realize of how awkward those smile formed out.

Sehun remained silent as he stared at that ‘abnormal’ smile and soon he choked a laugh. He took one of her arm and put the key inside her palm.

“Just reply me next time, okay?” He said. Sehun looked at the statue-like girl and couldn’t hold to stretch out his arm and ruffled her upper hair. Now the girl’s cheek went all red as she felt some warmth on both sides. With that, she knew that she failed to stay chill. Then he left without any word.

“How do you know?” She asked bluntly. Sehun heard that and turned around.

“Your number?” he asked. She shook her head. With that, Sehun understood of what she meant to ask.

 “Your face shown everything” He gave her a last smile and bid a farewell wave and started to walk away.

She knew it. She failed on throwing a small lie. Even though she tried to set her calmest face, later she realized that he wasn’t an idiot for not figuring it out. He’s instead a real genius for God’s sake.

With that key on her hand, she ran again towards her locker with a loaded heart and she tried to get rid of bad thought.

It took about two hours to reach the camping ground and I used the long boarding time to sleep and regain my energy. All students gathered in a wide green field and separated in two sections, one for the second grader and the other one for the third.

As excepted, there were only small amount of people here. Especially, when I took a glance at the third grader section, I could see that the attendant was less than half of how it should be.

Few days ago I heard of some girl were complaining about the camping on their chatter, about how gross the camp would be. They were typical ‘prestigious’ girls who worried too much about the tent, bugs, and another things they considered harmful for them. At the time I accidentally eavesdropped it, I already knew that they won’t be joining the camp today.

Then I wandered my eyes to make sure that Sehun was there, I found him within a second and decided not to stare too long because I avoided chances of any eye contacts that would end up awkward for me. I didn’t know myself if my eyes were already used to chase his figure or that blonde hair he had were to appealing for everyone?

I tried to look for Krystal and found her waving at me with a wide smile, I walked nearer to her and now we stood next to each other.

“Good morning students”

I looked straight and found Mr. Kim stood in front and was starting his welcoming words. I darted my attention towards another things instead, I knew it will took a really long time.

I enjoyed the green environment around me as I felt the cool breeze that gently brushed my skin. I inhaled the fresh air and filled my lungs with the fresh air joyously.

“Thankyou” It’s done, everyone clapped and I followed.

“Now for the name I called, please go in front” He continued.

Names called and all of them were seniors, I continued to hear him and when the name “Oh Sehun” spoken, my eyes darted on his figure that walked from the student’s line and stood there with his trademarked straight expression.

I felt someone poked my waist, I darted my eyes on instant and found Krystal who tilted her head toward Sehun to tease me. I slapped her hand and rolled my eyes to the teacher again.

“Students beside me have been chosen as our camping’s leader. The activity group members will be announced later after the first activity. For now, build a tent together by the name that will be announced now”

I have my tent built done and looked at it in satisfaction, the girls who will share the tent with me were not really bad after all and it was really my luck that Krystal was one of them.

I put my things inside and chose my sleeping spot then Krystal and I both went back to the field as the teacher ordered.

I was holding a piece of group information paper and found my name written right under Sehun’s, I wasn’t really sure myself if I was delighted or not about being in a same group with him.

I scanned the whole member and concluded that I have two reasons to feel unpleasant being on it.

First. Kim Hyuna, she’s one of my classmates, she was not my enemy or anything similar. It just happened that I weren’t really fit in with her and she had that ‘cheerpy’ personality I disliked.

Second. It was Sehun. It was not because of his existence here but you sure will know my reasons later.

As the group gathered, worse thing happened and there were exactly three out of six of the group members available. Sehun, Hyuna and I.

Our first task as a group was cooking a curry rice and I really doubt if my group would be succeed. I whipped the plates as two of my partners doing so.

“Oppa, let’s go and take some water” Hyuna smiled at Sehun. I felt shivered at the way she called him ‘oppa’.  The boy just nodded and soon as they walked, I saw Hyuna hooked her hand onto Sehun’s arm.

I rolled my eyes, knowing that this kind of thing would happen. Of course I felt jealousy and tempered about it. But what to say? I left with no choice and had to endure these until tomorrow.

Sehun and Hyuna still walked beside each other with her hand hooked on his. He didn’t feel comfortable and he kept on staring at his occupied hand in a pity way. Hyuna gripped his arm tighter and slowly, he pulled his hand to get rid of her.

Hyuna tilted her head towards him after she realized that movement, but Sehun just showed a fake smile and soon he the girl bid him another smile then she looked straight again. After he succeeded, he kept some distance from the girl as he tried not to be caught again doing it, he just tried not to be rude to a stranger.

‘What the hell is wrong with her?’ He cursed in mind because he wasn’t really used to any girl who tried to initiate a flirt with him.

“Oppa, let’s carry this galloon together” Hyuna said. Sehun quickly took the gallon and carried it on one of his shoulder.

“I will do it” He said. He chose to carry the water alone rather than have to do it together with her. He was strong enough and he thought that he will have a good reason to leave Hyuna behind.

But it was an unfortunate for Sehun. Rather than felt being avoided, she considered him as a gentleman and adored him even more.

 As he planned, Sehun walked really fast but ended up for Hyuna to follows him with faster paces.

They were arrived and Sehun gently put the water against the ground then he stretched his stiffen arm.

“I will prepare the stove, you can call Jaein.” Hyuna said.

“Sure” he replied.

His lips curled up wide, but this time was real from his heart. It was a spontaneous smile for a sign of happiness being free from Hyuna.

Jaein had finished whipping the plates and she decided to seat on a lodge nearby, waiting for her team to go back. Her eyes wandered around and she found out that another teams had already start their cook.

“Let’s get started too”

She looked up and found Sehun who stretched his arm to her. She tilted her head to left and right and a little bit flustered.

“Hyuna’s preparing the stove now” Sehun said like he could read her mind. The girl gladly took his arm and stood up then both started to walk.

Unlike earlier, Sehun tried to walk slowly and Jaein tried to sync her steps with him.

“I will cook the rice for three of us” Sehun said as they walked.

“Can you?” Jaein said bluntly. Weren’t most of the boys lack on cooking?

“Of course!” He snapped.

“I ever made you a delicious soup, remember?” He flattened himself.

Jaein giggled by that, he said that with such confident. She could only agree with him, even though she knew that the ‘delicious soup’ was just an ordinary instant soup. But somehow it really tasted different for her that time, that bowl of soup was so meaningful.

 “Okay, okay. I trust you now”

Meanwhile Sehun was cooking the rice, Jaein and Hyuna were on charge in peeling and cutting the apple for the curry.

“You know? I found out something” Hyuna suddenly said as her lips curled up.

“What was that?”

“I think Sehun’s pretty handsome. I regretted a lot for just finding it out today”

A Knife, yes Jaein was holding one when those word spoken and you can guess what scene she had on mind. That’s how she felt; this Hyuna was way too flirty. She often hits on a guy, just if they had a well feature on their faces.

With Sehun being one of her objectives wannabe, Jaein could only named her with one word.
