Yeosang yawned as he sat down next his friends at the table. He had been the last one to get there which meant he had a plate filled with food without having done anything. He smiled and started digging in the food that Yunho, Jongho and San had cooked.

"So does anyone mind telling me why did Wooyoung wake me up in the middle of the night to come sleep in my tent" Seonghwa asked as he looked at his friends. Yunho, San and Jongho turned to look at Wooyoung for an explanation, whereas Yeosang was way too sleepy to pay them attention.

"Because I kicked him out so Hongjoong could sleep with me" Everyone woohooed as the ravenette almost choked on his orange juice, he looked at Hongjoong who was sitting right next to Mingi.

"Wait, wait, wait, does this mean?" Seonghwa asked as he looked at the two who nodded. "Are you two?"

"We are" Hongjoong looked up and quickly stole his boyfriend a kiss making everyone aww.

"You guys this is awesome" Jongho smiled and looked at Yunho mouthing a "told you so".

"Who would have guessed that those two would be together before San and Wooyoung" Yeosang yawned as he finished his sentence, not even realizing the tension that had settled as soon as those words had left his mouth.  

Seonghwa rolled his eyes, Yunho looked away, Jongho focused on his food and MinJoong focused on each other and San looked at Wooyoung who was determined on not looking at him. The rest of the breakfast was spent talking about Mingi and San's adventure until the teachers called everybody to an "assembly". 

One by one the teachers talked about what the students had learned during the weekend, how they had forged new bonds, better bonds. Some students were listening, some were trying to hide that they were listening to music and a few were glued to Mingi listening him talk about what had happened. 

 San looked around and saw Wooyoung sitting with Yeonjun, he exhaled sharply and focused back on the speech. Yeosang was busy dozing off on Yunho's shoulder while Hongjoong told everything about him and Mingi to Seungmin and Ravn.

At some point, all the students got up and started walking away. Yeosang blinked awake not understanding what was happening, a hand wrapped around his wrist dragging him along.

"San, what's up?" He asked.

"We have to clear our stuff, we leave in two hours" The ravenette replied.

"Already? I want to sleep"

"You'll sleep on the bus don't worry, come on I'll help you"

The brunette docilly followed San all the way to their tent, everyone around them was packing and talking, some had put on some music and some were busy hiding the other's bag. 

San was undoing the tent but couldn't figure out how to undo the metallic structure of the tent, the boy  groaned and exhaled while looking at the instructions.

"Here, like this" A voice spoke as two seconds later the structure folded neatly.

"Thanks, Han"

"No problem" The brunette smiled to the other before walking away.

"Was that Han Jisung? Did he just help you?" Yeosang blinked in disbelief.

"Yeah, he's not so bad"

"I really should have listened to your story" San rolled his eyes and hit Yeosang on the head with the instructions before continuing folding the tent away.

"Hey we're already done, need help?"

"Sure. Thanks, Jongho"

"Here Beomgyu, hold onto this and Kai help us pull it that way" Jongho said.

Twenty minutes later, the tent was folded and neatly kept inside its bag as the four boys laid down on the grass surrounded by their bags. Almost everyone had already finished packing, some students were helping the teachers emptying the kitchen and others were starting to load up the bus.

"So what's next for you guys?" Soobin, Yeonjun and Taehyun had arrived a few minutes ago with their bags and were sitting next to their friends on the grass.

"College I guess" Yunho said.

"You don't sound sure?"

"Well I'm not, I don't know what I'm going to do actually. What about you guys?"

"I'm thinking about becoming a trainee, actually Taehyun and I were talking about auditioning to enter an agency, we still don't know which but it could be interesting" Yeonjun spoke.

"Yeah definitely, what about you Kai? Don't you want to be an idol too?"

"I don't think I could, I'm still learning the language" The boy couldn't even finish his sentence that all his friends were already telling him how good he was and how better he'd gotten in a few months making the boy blush.

"And the others, do they know?"

"Hongjoong and Mingi want to compose music, that much I know" Yunho chuckled. "I'm not so sure about the others" He continued.

"Wooyoung said something about become a model or a dancer, I don't know if that's still up to date" Jongho spoke lowly as he stared at the sky.

"Who knows, we'll have to wait and see"

"Yeah, I guess so" Taehyun whispered.

Yunho looked around him, truth is college had been worrying him for some time now, he still didn't know what he wanted to study or where, and time was running out. The good thing was, neither did any of his friends.
