Somehow, a few students managed to sneak in alcohol, all happily talking and playing games with each other. Everyone claimed a spot around a smaller campfire. Seungmin could see the other's rosy cheeks that had gotten red from drinking too much. "Minnie," Felix muttered, looking at him with a wasted smile. "I love you," he chuckled, almost falling while leaning onto Seungmin's shoulder. "Come on, let's go back to the cabin," Seungmin stated and got up just to get pulled down again by the other. "Don't leave yet," Felix pleaded with a pout. Seungmin took in the fact of how close their faces were. That's it. He couldn't handle it anymore. Before Felix could say something again, Seungmin's lips molded into his. Felix's eyes peered open, heart jumping at the sudden sensation. 

Seungmin acknowledged Felix's shocked expression and quickly moved away. "I am sorry, this was a mistake." he apologized to the other male. Seungmin clenched his fists, opening his mouth but shutting it when no other words came out, body in hopeless dread of what to do. He couldn't stand being here any longer and ran away. He didn't know where, but at least not anywhere near Felix. 

Felix's gaze followed him until he disappeared into the distance. "Seungmin.." he called out, a devastating look plastering his face. 

Felix groaned whilst rubbing his temples, waking up with the biggest hang-over. It took him a minute to stand up and not drop himself to the ground before taking a look around his cabin. But he didn't spot the other from yesterday. 

He held on to the edge of his bunk until he got a hold of the doorknob, slouching into the bathroom, and turning on the tap of the sink. Felix held his hands under it, splashing cold water all over his face. He lifted his head, looking into the mirror, his hair looked as if it had exploded, strands pointing in every direction. He also noticed the eyebags, weighing under his lids. "I look awful," Felix mumbled to his reflection. Flashes of memories roamed his mind from last night like a camera roll. The male traced his lips with his fingers, caressing them ever so softly. A small smile tugged at the corner of them but soon disappeared. 

"I am sorry, this was a mistake." Seungmin's words rang through his head, voiding Felix from the fairytale happiness he felt before. "It was a mistake," he repeated. "A dumb mistake." 

Felix stepped out of the bathroom after freshening himself up, scouring the area for Seungmin.  Then Felix noticed someone once he looked outside of the window. It was Jisung, coming out from his cabin so he tug open the door and ran to him with a hopeful smile. "Jisung!" Felix yelled after the other. 

Jisung turned around, seeing Felix breathing out heavily before straightening himself up. "Have you seen Seungmin?" he asked, still a bit out of breath. Jisung shook his head. "No, sorry." 

"Why are you looking for him though?" the lad asked him out of curiosity. "Something happened, I'll explain later," Felix rushed, waving his hand as if to wipe Jisung's memory of his previous words, and before Jisung could say anything in response, he had already disappeared. "What's up with him today?" Jisung murmured to himself. He shook his head and continued to walk further. 

The announcement sounded from the speakers scattered around the area, urging everyone to go back to their cabins to pack up. Felix looked over at Seungmin's luggage that stood in front of the bunk across from him. He must be somewhere in the bathroom, Felix thought. And as if on cue, the door opened and Seungmin walked out. Felix gave him a look which the other was quick to ignore, reaching down to grab his luggage. When Felix tried to open his mouth to say something, he left the cabin with his earphones plugged in. "Seungmin, you bastard." he cursed the other. "How dare you ignore me just like that?" Felix whined and proceeded to pack. He basically threw his clothes into his suitcase, not bothering to fold any of them before slumping outside.  

"Lix, over here!" Jisung waved at him and he waved back. "I'm serious right now," Jisung started. "What happened between the two of you?" Felix looked down, kicking some pebble. "What would you do if your best friend kissed you?" the Australian asked him, already giving it away by saying that. "You two kissed?!" Jisung whisper-yelled. "It was a mistake!" Felix whisper-yelled back, but Felix's body and expression gave him away, the words cut into him, hurting him more than he wanted to show. Jisung observed the other and sighed. "You are sad aren't you?"

 "I must be disgusting right?" he muttered, keeping his head low. Jisung grabbed Felix by his arms. "Don't you dare ever say that again!" he demanded with a sharp tone kicking in. Felix looked up, eyes flickering over him. "Aren't you disgusted by me?" Jisung's gaze softened, staring back at the other. He empathized with his friend. He really did. "Why the hell would I be disgusted?" Jisung uttered disbelievingly. 

"I fucked up, Ji. I'm in love with my best friend."

Felix felt like he could break down any moment now, his lips beginning to quiver. Jisung brought him into his embrace. That was the moment his first tears started to fall. "He hates me now, Ji. He doesn't feel the same! He's not in love with me!" Felix sobbed, clawing the back of Jisung's clothes in his hands. Jisung tightened his grip. "Let it all out, Lix." He caressed his back. 

The students lined up in front of the busses, one by one entering after their belongings got stored away. When Seungmin got on the bus, they spared each other one glance before he sat down somewhere at the back. He didn't sit next to Jisung and Felix like they used to before. Jisung and Felix just watched him walk past. The rest of the bus ride was just quiet. The male had his head leaned against the glass window, looking at how they passed by all the trees and roads. The weather even matched Felix's mood, grey and clouded. Jisung gave him a concerned glance every now and then. "It will turn out fine, Lix." He caressed Felix's shoulder. "Thanks, Ji. I'm just not in the mood today," he explained while looking down. The last thing Felix could remember after that was falling asleep on Jisung's lap. He finally felt at ease in his best friend's touch. It didn't take long before he drifted off to sleep. Jisung smiled at his cute friend in front of him, a bittersweet smile as he continued to stare at him. He felt bad that Felix had to be this sad. He didn't deserve to be in pain. "What can I do to cheer him up?" Jisung thought to himself, patting the boy that laid on his lap.
