The Star

101. Tension.

No One's POV.

In the afternoon, the resort staff guided us towards the forest for a short hike. We were about to go up on a mountain and then at the top they'll ride the zip line.

Chaeyoung was excited while the other two were nervous. Chaeyoung went first and loved how it felt as she zipped down the mountain. Mina and Jihyo rode together and both were scared at first but seconds after they started they began enjoying it. They landed both smiling. They all enjoyed it so much that they decided to do it again. They went back up the mountain and zipped down again but this time they did it one by one.

Before the night fell, the three decided to go to town to buy some groceries. They were escorted by a guard and a resort staff to show them around. They also stopped by some vendors and tried some local street foods. They went back to the resort past 8pm. They had dinner at the dining hall and went back to their cabin. They were all tired so after they arranged the things they brought, they washed up and went to bed.

The next day, the director, actors as well as 20 production staff arrived at the resort. Once they settled they ate lunch which was prepared by the resort staff. They stared at the dining hall as they had a briefing about what would their schedules be. By afternoon the others settled on their accomodations while Mina stayed at the cabin and rehearsed her lines with the help of Chaeyoung.

The next day, Mina was scheduled for survival training. It'll play a huge part for her role. Chaeyoung sat on a bench, watching them. She's curious what their training is about.

They taught her about first aid, how to cook, hunt, build fire, make shift shade or sleeping area in the forest. They even taught her what to do when there's wild animals.

Chaeyoung shifted from watching their training to staring at Mina. She admires how dedicated she really is in her work.

Jihyo: Take a picture, it'll last longer.

Jihyo said as she noticed her staring.

Chaeyoung: Nah, I prefer to cherish moments better.

Jihyo: Woah, Chaeyoung, you don't strike as sentimental.

Jihyo sat beside her and joined her watch Mina's training.

Jihyo: I'm glad you two are getting closer. Like.... so close...

Jihyo looked at her teasingly while Chaeyoung looked around them.

Chaeyoung: Yah! Shhhh... Someone might hear you.

Jihyo: Sheesh, you're worried about someone might hear us but you're not worried about people noticing as they watch how close you two are.

Chaeyoung: What do you mean?

Jihyo: Nayeon unnie is right, you're clueless as always... Ever since the michaeng pic from RM and the Hawaii pic went viral, people paid more attention to you two. How you two act around each other were well noticed.

Chaeyoung: Really? I didn't know. What should I do? Mina have just warmed up on me again, I don't want to avoid her.

Jihyo: You don't have to. Both of you just need to be careful when you're out. I'll talk to her as well.

She then looked at Chaeyoung teasingly.

Jihyo: The cabin would be safe. I bet you wished I'm not there too huh.

Chaeyoung: What! No!...

Jihyo: I could sleep on the couch whenever you two need that... ALONE time...
