camp ♡ jaywon

˗ˋ chapter 4 ˊ˗

for the rest of the night, jungwon was a runner. he was a track star.

he ran back to the eating area in hopes of finding sunki, but only to find jake alone on their table, gawking over sunghoon. jungwon asked where they went, and the australian himself had no idea. "they just bid goodbye to me and left," he told the younger one.

jungwon was pacing around the woods, wondering where the hell his two bestfriends went. "what did riki say about their cabin number again...?" he mumbled to himself, crouching down with a frustrated sigh as he closed his eyes in an attempt to remember.

"cabin... cabin... what the hell was it? cabin 6? i think so," he stood up from his resting position and he knew there was only one way to find out. he ran past his cabin, thankful that jay kept their windows closed.

cabin 6 was in front of jungwon in an instant. hesitantly lifting his fist up to knock the wooden door, he cleared his throat and prayed that sunki was in that cabin and not some random stranger he'll most likely bump into for the next few weeks. after mustering up the courage to knock, jungwon bit on his lower lip gently. "sunoo? riki?"

the door flew open and to jungwon's relief, the tall japanese boy was in front of him. "wonie!" riki grabbed jungwon's arm and just like that, he closed the door shut.

sunoo was on his bed, shuffling his stuff that was inside his two backpacks. "now, where did i put my toothpaste.." he looked up at the sound of riki and jungwon, his face lighting up at the sight of his bestfriend.

"wonie~ what brings you here?" he set his bags aside, tilting his head curiously.

"well," jungwon scratched his head, "j-jay hyung is my cabin-mate."

"AYOOOO," riki said and fanboyed loudly.

"yah! keep it down!" sunoo threw his sunki plushy at riki's head. sunki was a medium sized tiger plushy holding a little fox plush. riki gave it to sunoo one time so sunoo would be reminded of him. "anyways," he flashed jungwon a knowing look. "it's fate! i ship it."

"please, i barely know jay hyung," jungwon muttered and shook his head, sitting himself down on riki's bed, the younger friend sitting down beside him.

"wait, didn't you say he's your cabin-mate? what are you doing here then! go hang out with him," riki exclaimed.

"well... that's the thing. i just- i don't know, i'm shy around him. you guys must have noticed, i wasn't myself during dinner earlier."

"shit, that was because of jay hyung?" riki nudged jungwon's arm, "eyyy, you think he's attractive, don't you~?"

"riki, stop pressuring him, he's new to this crush thingy," sunoo raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms. he turned to jungwon, "i thought you were quiet because jake hyung looks utterly handsome. i think he's the most handsome guy i've ever seen."

"yah, what about me?" riki pouted, "and you have no chance with jake hyung. he's totally smitten over that sunhoong or whatever-his-name-is guy."

"pft, it's sunghoon, dummy. and no! jake hyung is indeed handsome, but i somehow feel... uh, weird around jay hyung. i don't know, i probably just feel awkward cus he's the same guy who was staring at me while you guys were canoeing," jungwon mumbled.

sunoo stood up from his bed, "well, that's normal. you'll warm up to him in an instant~ and you're yang jungwon, everybody in school knows you because you're president of the student council. and you're everyone's friend. i'm sure you'll be close with jay hyung with ease."

"i- i hope so. ah, why am i even like this?" jungwon sighed. "i just feel more nervous around him than when i'm at my taekwondo competitions."

riki snorted at what he said, before standing up and pulling jungwon out of his bed. "let's go to the bathroom so we can prepare for bed before lights out!"

"okay, just.. lemme grab my stuff."

♡♡♡

jungwon was glad that jay wasn't in the cabin when he entered. he quickly dashed to get his necessities and clothes before leaving the cabin he shared with jay.

as the three went to the bathroom, they couldn't help but notice that there were only two shower stalls. jungwon tied his bangs up so it wouldn't get wet as he washed his face, with sunoo beside him. riki went to take a shower on the free stall, while the two busied themselves with skincare.

the stall opened, revealing jay who had his hair wet, a towel draped around his neck as he dried his hair with it. he had a white shirt on and sweatpants, catching jungwon off guard to see his hyung.

"hey!" jay gave them a smile.

sunoo smiled back through the mask on his face, waving at his hyung. "hi, jay hyung~."

jay waved at sunoo and stared at jungwon's reflection in the mirror, the latter still not ready to be face-to-face with him. he chuckled, seeing jungwon had an apple hair. he wanted to pinch his cute cheek so badly, but the blond resisted the urge to do so as it was obvious that jungwon wasn't comfortable with him.

not yet.

he didn't say anything more as he left the bathroom. sunoo giggled at jungwon, "you should stop ignoring him, he'll be your cabin-mate for the next two weeks, anyway."

"mhhm.."

♡♡♡

after changing his clothes to an oversized blue sweatshirt and matching sweatpants, jungwon walked back to the cabin.

he opened the door to find jay sitting on his bed, his phone in front of him as he watched a drama.

jungwon closed the cabin door, locking it so nobody would barge in while they were asleep. he crept to his bed, grabbing his fully-charged phone. he remembered what sunoo told him earlier.

"you should stop ignoring him, he'll be your cabin-mate for the next two weeks, anyway."

he let out an inaudible sigh, staring at his hyung who had his attention on his phone. "s-so, what are you watching, hyung?"

"oh?" jay looked up from his phone, a little smile forming on his face. "ah, well, it's called vincenzo. jake and i like it a lot."

"ahhh," jungwon muttered and nodded his head. silence enveloped the two, with jungwon just sitting down on his bed. 'yah! jungwon, you were the student council president last school year and you're friends with a good population of the people at school! why are you awkward around a blond guy who's only two years older than you?'

he mentally slapped himself. jay finally spoke after two minutes of awkward silence, "it's rude to stare, y'know?"

'shit. this is it, i'm gonna dig a hole and bury myself in it,' jungwon bit his lower lip and looked away.

he heard the older boy chuckle, "it's okay, though. i wouldn't mind you staring at me," he looked up from his phone and paused the k-drama. "your eyes are really beautiful- and i'm speaking the truth! it's.. like the night sky, very sparkly. it would be an honor to have those beautiful eyes of yours on me-"

"g-goodnight, hyung!" jungwon quickly turned the light switch off of his side of the room, laying down as he covered himself with his blanket. he could feel his heart thumping against his chest, and he figured it was probably just because someone as attractive as jay complimented him.

that's all.. right? he possibly couldn't have a crush on someone he just met.

then again, jake is completely whipped for sunghoon who he saw at a figure skating competition a year ago.

jungwon heard jay chuckle as he turned his lights off, too.

"sweet dreams, jungwon."
