"it's nice to be with you here. somewhere quiet and peaceful, you know?"

"this could be every day, but you never shut up."

"you're quiet, i'm loud. we're made for each other. besides, if i were quiet i would be boring, and you wouldn't even know me then."

"when you say it like that it makes sense."

"so you do love me?"

"of course."

minghao shoved junhui away. "don't you dare try to kiss me. it's not friday yet."

"you two are sweet, but i need you back at camp by six or cheol is going to snap my neck."

colour drained out of minghao's face as he dared think of the possibility that they had been spotted.

oh, wait. he recognised that voice.

"just give us ten more minutes. haohao's being a difficult case here," junhui said, still trying to kiss minghao.

"next time, don't sneak up on us. i almost got a heart attack. i thought you were someone else, like jeonghan hyung," minghao scolded.

"if jeonghan hyung found out i was dating minghao, he'd snap my neck too," junhui shuddered.

"what's the matter if he finds out?" jisoo tilted his head, amused at the mere idea of jeonghan somehow being offended by the pair dating.

"he doesn't approve of you guys. i've been dropping hints and he always says that minghao is off-limits. that's why we had to hide our relationship in the first place."

"and you thought that yelling at each other all the time would work?" jeonghan popped out of a bush, a smug expression on his face as he peeled a leaf off of his cheek.

"it's kind of obvious when you're pretending to hate someone but really you're in love with them."

"has he been here the entire time?" junhui gasped.

"yep!" jeonghan chirped.

"i'm dead, aren't i?"

"yep! but before that, how did you even think that would fly under my radar?"

"because? you're dumb as fuck?" minghao raised an eyebrow. "also, how did you guess?"

"i didn't guess, i figured it out the first time you two started arguing every second," jeonghan frowned. "like i said, it's obvious."

"how was it obvious? i'm a great actor," junhui huffed.

"no you're not," jisoo stated bluntly.

"i have a lot of experience with these things. like how i know jisoo probably wants to kiss me right now," jeonghan grinned, discreetly slipping his hand into jisoo's.

"absolutely not," jisoo sputtered, turning red. "you're disgusting."

"uh huh. so why are you holding hands?" junhui asked.

minghao eyed the pair. "didn't expect you to steal my strategy, hyung, but it worked i guess."

"what? oh– what?" jisoo slapped jeonghan's hand away. "i am not into him and for you to even think so is a criminal offense."

"jisoo's cute and all, but i'm not into dicks and assholes, sorry," jeonghan grimaced.

"you're gay. you're into dicks and assholes by definition," junhui said.

"yeah? and snooping around with that grasshopper behind my back? you're dead," jeonghan peered at junhui.

"oops," junhui nervously giggled.
