In The Forest

-Today every cabin will play with a card or board game.-announced Juyeon. Because of yesterday's events Yeonjun was still unable to walk so he was out "being sick" as Juyeon said.
-How will they know who won or who lost? And how many rounds should we play? This seems a bit hard to track for them.-whispered Jungwon then he saw how Juyeon looked at him.

-But today's game will be different. The students in the cabin will be assigned to a different cabin, which means every person who wins, wins for theirs cabin. The cabin with the least win will be eliminated immediately.-said Juyeon and they looked at each other.

They knew what eliminated means.

-Okay but loosing a game doesn't mean you're bad. -said Niki looking behind at the others.
-Huh?-asked Jay after everyone trying to process what Niki said.
-We're here because we did bad things and we need to redeem ourselves right? But winning card games are just purely luck.

-The whole thing is stupid.-sighed Sunghoon.-I think I'll move to Japan after this. Maybe it's a better country than this.
Sunghoon referred to what Juyeon said last night.

Jake just glared at him and rolled his eyes.
'Would I be following him to Japan? That's crazy what are you thinking about???'

-Anyways, we'll just play this smart, okay?-whispered Heeseung and everyone nodded.

They had 2 hours til the announcement.
Some decided to sleep and some decided to just walk or play in the water.

-Hey, you wanna walk with me?-asked Sunghoon running up to Jake.
-Sure. But please tell we're not going on a boat trip.-joked Jake and Sunghoon just laughed.
It was a beautiful sound for Jake, it made his heart skip a beat.

-But seriously, are you better? Don't you want to rest?-asked Jake pointing at Sunghoon's wound.
-It's okay, I rested enough. Then follow me, I know a place.-smiled Sunghoon and Jake just followed him.

Jake couldn't help but think about how many things changed in the past few days. How him and Sunghoon became close, after what happened in the past, and how Jake despised Sunghoon.
He forgave Sunghoon of course, maybe thinking back he wasn't even that mad at him. He made a mistake and he apologized.
And now he got to know Sunghoon better, and he liked it. He liked Sunghoon and how he made him feel. It was something Jake has never felt before.

After like 15 minutes of walking in the woods they sat down on the ground on Sunghoon's sweater.
It was so pretty. There was a little lake with a little waterfall. The sun shined through the trees giving the place a magical feeling, like it's out of a fairytale.

-Wow Sunghoon. This is breathtaking.-said Jake looking around like a kid.-How did you find this?
Sunghoon chuckled at him. He looked so cute like a puppy.

-I think the second day, I was walking around and found it. Read a book and I think slept a little.-he chuckled while still looking at Jake.-Jake, I think need to tell you something.

Jake could hear his heart beating so loudly and he gulped. He was scared.

-We get along well, and I think we're really good as friends.-said Sunghoon looking into Jake's eyes whose heart just broke. -For now at least.

With that Jake couldn't help but smile. Wow only Sunghoon is capable of making him change his emotions this fast.

-I-I like you, Jake.-said Sunghoon but he was becoming shy. He didn't think this through.-But you only just forgave me like 3 days ago, and even though it feels like we've been friends for a while, it's still so soon to say anything for sure much more soon to act on it.

Jake completely agreed with every word. He slowly nodded as he processed what Sunghoon said.

-I like you too Sunghoon. But I agree it's too soon.-he said and as he was looking at Sunghoon he couldn't help but lean closer. Not because he wanted to kiss him. (I mean he did but it was for a different reason.)

He started caressing Sunghoon's cheek while leaning closer.
-You look like an angel Sunghoon.-said Jake and Sunghoon cleared his throat.
-That's sweet but I'm just so emberrassed right now.-he said getting up from the floor, and at that moment someone knocked on their door.

It was Jay. It was time to go back.

-Everyone good luck. Because you'll need it right now.-said Jungwon and they went closer to the list to see which cabin they've been assigned to.-Let's try to win. Goodbye.

Sunghoon looked at Jake's list.
-I don't want you in the same cabin with them.-he said as he stood in front of Jake.-I won't be there to protect you.

Yes, Jake was in the same cabin as one of his "former bully".

-I can take care of myself, I'm gonna be okay.-smiled Jake.-And after last time I doubt they'll do anything.
-Okay, but call me or shout my name if anything happens.-said Sunghoon seriously.
-You look hot when you act like a protactive boyfriend.-chuckled Jake as he walked into his cabin.
-Get used to it.-shouted Sunghoon after him as he walked to his "teammates".

And the games began.
