CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR : 'after lights out'

CHAE-YOUNG POV :

I check my phone;

11:56PM

I sigh and switch it off.

I can't get to sleep.

Looking around seeing everyone dreaming, I decide to take a small walk.

I know the instructors said we shouldn't go out after lights out, but I will be quick.

Quietly slipping my sliders on, I creep to the tents entrance. I slowly start to undo the zip, i hear a snore and I freeze. Turning around, I relax once confirmed everyone's sleeping. I undo the zip and crawl out of the tent.

HEESEUNG POV :

I need the toilet so bad.

Once out of the tent I tip toe past the instructors tent.

Where were the toilets again?

I see someone in the distance sitting on a bench looking out at the lake.

Maybe they will know where the toilet is.

"Excuse me!" I say while jogging to them. No reply.

What if it's a ghost?!

I take slow steady steps towards the figure. As I approach I see long silk hair flying in the cool breeze.

So she's a girl.

I'm almost right behind her when I step on a twig. The girl swings round punching me in the stomach. I tumble back gripping my tummy.

Ouch!

"Heeseung?" A familiar voice asks.

I look up furrowing my eyebrows, still holding my stomach I realise who it is.

"Chae? What are you doing out so late, alone?!" I question as she helps me up.

"Couldn't sleep, you?"

"Uhhh, yeah yeah same!"

I sit down on the bench with her admiring the view. But not the lake view, the one next to me.

CHAE-YOUNG POV :

"Did I hurt you by the way?" I turn to face Heeseung but he's already looking. He smiles and shakes his head. "I was faking, you didn't hurt me". I scoff; "should I try again" I ask raising my arm as if I'm going to punch him. "No! I mean not necessary" he says lightly pushing my first down. I chuckle, playing with the necklace in my hands.

"What's that?" Heeseung asks pointing at he necklace.

"Oh this, Riki gave it to me a while back. I play with it usually when something's in my mind"

"Can I put it on for you?"

I smile slightly and nod. I give it the him and he gets up standing behind the bench. As he carefully moves my hair to the side, I can feel his cold fingers brush along my skin. Once he finishes he lets it sit comfortably on my shoulders, letting the excess pieces hang down my back.

"Thank you", why am I so flustered. I like my hospital boy 'H', why's Heeseung making me feel like this?

"You'd make a cute tomato" Heeseung says as he sits next to me.

My eyes widen and I hide my face in my hands. I hear him laugh at me. Heeseung grips my shoulder and pulls me close to him, I rest my head on his shoulder.

"I hate you" I scoff.

"You love me"

"No I don't"

"What if I told you I was 'H'?"

"What." I jump off his shoulder staring at him.

"Hospital boy is m-"

"What are you two doing out so late? Get back to your tents!" A stubborn voice screams.

We both jump up bowing and apologising.

I lay in my bed, staring up at the tip of the tent.

Hospital boy, my 'H', could that really be Heeseung?
