"i will kill you if you ever talk to me again."
"you'll have to catch me first."
san and wooyoung had never met before, but their paths crossed one summer at a camp for young adults. one consenting to be there while the other... not so much.

the young man voice was barely above a whisper as he climbed up his best friend's bunk bed, trying not to disturb the others sleeping in their cabins. "yeo, i need the perfect revenge plan. you've got to help me," he implored.
yeosang groaned, slowly opening his eyes and blinking several times. "why do you ask me that in the middle of the night?" he grumbled.
"because i gave him too much freedom! we're still at war," he complained. he had been thinking about how to get back at san for waking him up with a glass of water a few days ago, and he was determined to come out on top.
yeosang couldn't help but roll his eyes at his friend's dramatics. "you're so annoying, i hope you know that," he muttered, but he still made room for wooyoung to crawl into the bed next to him.
"yet you love me," wooyoung teased with a grin.
yeosang couldn't help but chuckle. "even though you're annoying at times, you are amusing," he admitted. "but you know. sometimes revenge isn't always the answer you know? sometimes it's better to just move on."
wooyoung stared at his friend for a moment, looking unimpressed. "but i can't just let him get away with it. he needs to know not to mess with me!" he insisted. "plus, it's the perfect time because he must think i won't do anything."
yeosang sighed, considering wooyoung's request. "okay," he relented. "but let's make sure it's something harmless, okay? we don't want to cause any real harm."
wooyoung grinned, feeling relieved. "thanks, yeo. you're the best," he said.
his bestie laughed, giving him a playful punch. "yeah, i know i am."
the two boys huddled together for half an hour, brainstorming ideas with the limited resources they brought to camp. they wanted to come up with something that would be amusing but wouldn't cause any real harm. finally, they landed on what they thought was the perfect plan.
"okay, this is it. we've got it," wooyoung whispered excitedly.
yeosang nodded in agreement. "yeah, it's perfect. let's get some rest before someone catches us and we get in trouble," he said as he nudged wooyoung towards the ladder.
wooyoung climbed down, trying to be as quiet as possible as he headed back to his own bunks. in this camp, sleeping in was not an option, so they knew they needed to get some rest before the morning came. as they settled into their beds, they couldn't help but feel excited for what was to come the next day.

as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the cabin windows, wooyoung stirred from his slumber. despite being the last one to hit the sack, he was the first one up, eager to set his plan in motion. with calculated steps, he tiptoed his way out of the dorms, careful not to disturb his sleeping comrades.
