Face The Sun - Sunghoon ✓

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 9

A very loud music resounds outside the house and wakes all of us up. We go out and see everyone going out of there house too. Sungjung is at the center with a speaker in his hand, dancing in rythm.

- Good morning everyone ! He says, turning on himself and finally turn off the music. I guess you're all up, it's time to eat.

I look at the boys, wave my hand and move foward to the tables where the breakfast already is. I sit down and take milk, butter and bread. The others sit down too and begin to eat.

- For an awakening, it's original ! Jungwon laughs.

I think he did that for a good reason, maybe we have an activity planned.

They nod and continue to eat with appetite. Sungjung came back when everyone has almost finish eating to talk about the activity of the day.

- I will let you guess, give me your ideas !

Several ideas come out : mountain bike, canyoning, as well as many other interesting activities but the activity of the day is rafting, which everyone liked.

He gives us the instructions : put a swimsuit on, take a towel, shoes to go into the water and regroup directly in front of the path leading to the beach. We are going to eat the lunch on the beach after we finish.

We go back to our houses and we change then we wait for Sungjung to be able to leave. We are excited although many of us have been rafting before.

Finally arrived, the two big rafting planks are already on the beach and two adults, a woman and a man, are waiting for us and greet us when we arrive. 

They give us wetsuits to put on and a place to put our towels and bags and then take us further down the beach, where the waves crash onto the sand.

We put our wetsuits and begin to warm up. The two adults make us run, jump and lie face down the wet sand then we make two groups, 15 people each.

We go back to get the planks and carry them to the water and once they float, we climb on them and form two rows.

The woman takes care of my plank and the man the other. The first exercice is to balance. They give a number per position : standing, crouching, sitting and when they shout a number we have to get into the position directly trying not to fall into the water.

Lots of falls make us laugh like Jake slipping trying to hold onto Jay so he doesn't fall but he end up dragging him into the water with him.

The next exercice is just standing and the adults take us further to the bigger waves. We all stand together to stay on the plank and not drag everyone down.

- Put your arm around my neck. Sunoo advises, screaming so I can hear him above the sound of the waves.

I raise my arms and put them around Sunoo and Heeseung and the rest of the group do like us. In the end, the other group falls several times as we narrowly avoid this situation.

- Congrats to group B ! The man shouts.

- Uh, but they seem better than us ! Jia complains while pointing at us.

- Precisely, we are going to make another game where the teams will change continuoulsy. Crouch down facing the opposite team.

The teams face each other, the waves continuing to shake the planks a little.

- I will spell out look features like hair color or eye color and if that sounds like you, you switch planks.

The first feature is black hair. Almost everyone changes except Jia, Ava, Heejin, Jiyun and two boys.

Everyone jumps straight to the plank in front of them but half of them fall in the water, including me.

The next feature is... a nose and at that moment there was a big mess on the ocean. Everyone tried to jump at the same time but no one can reach the other raft.

Except Ni-ki who dances like crazy seeing us struggling. Obviously with is long legs...

The look features are linked until the last one, a bit special.

- Last feature ! I saw that one of you has earrings, I also specify that they had to be removed before but let's not focus on that for the moment, people who have earrings, change raft !

I try to get up, embarrassed for not listening to this instruction and see Sunghoon in front of me, getting up at the same time and we are apparently the only ones.

He raises his eyebrows with a little smirk and reaches for me. I cling to it, arms outstretched and we change rafts at the same time, whitout falling into the water.

- That's what we call teamwork ! The woman shouts.

Sunghoon and I laugh and we give each other a high five.

The last game is a race. The plank that arrives first on the beach wins. Sungjung gives us a countdown from where he is, on the beach, and we all row at full speed.

The team I'm with almost wins but the other was faster and more coordinated.

We arrive at the beach, take off our wetsuits and go get our towels, lying on a wooden barrier. We surround ouselves with these, shivering in the wind after removing our second skin.

Sungjung spreads two large tablecloths on the sand then we sit on them in many little groups and he distribute the lunch to us. A sandwich, crisps, a fruit and a bottle of water, a real picnic on the beach.

I'm not shaking anymore but I can see that Sunghoon is and I remember the last time. I go get the second towel I put in my bag just in case. I abruptly take off the soaked one being on Sunghoon's shoulders and put mine on directly before he reacts.

Don't tell me you don't feel warmer now. I imitate him while I go back to my seat.
