"Alright, who's everyone rooming with?" Professor Finnerty questioned with a clipboard in his hands.

Yuri raised her hand instantly, before I could volunteer me and Kitty.

"Kitty and I will room together!"

Kitty stared at her, dumbfounded. "We will?!"

I took a step back with my hands up in a fake surrender. "Good luck."

HeheheeHEEheHEE I feel like the matchmaker now, I thought with a grin as I watched Kitty hesitantly follow Yuri away.

"I'll room with Madison." I said loudly, not wanting to get assigned with someone weird. Madison hopped over to me and hugged me excitedly.

"You will?!" Min Ho exclaimed incredulously. I blew him a sarcastic kiss.

"We'll have so much fun together!" Madison squealed, and I sighed.

"Yep. I love Nature! The Outdoors! Pollen! Mosquitos! No WiFi!"

Madison's smile fell a little bit. "Oh, yeah, I forgot about all that."

I raised my hand, and Professor Finnerty pointed to me. "Yes?"

"Can we sleep in the bus?"

He gave me a strange look. "No?"

When I walked past him, however, he stopped me. "I thought you were rooming with Kitty?" he asked discretely.

"I thought so too." I grumbled back.

"Whatever. As long as she doesn't get all buddy with Yuri and tell her I'm her brother."

My eyebrows furrowed and my nose scrunched up as I tried to figure out what he was talking about. But I thought you were Kitty's brother...?

Instantly, the realization dawned on me that Kitty had been keeping information from me than I thought. Wonderful. This is where my trust issues come from.

Madison and I picked a tent in the middle of the campsite ("I'm not fighting bears in the middle of the night," I had said) and started to unpack.

"There's no hard feelings about Min Ho, right?" I asked her. She laughed and air-pushed me away with a flick of her wrist.

"Please. It's completely fine. I was just playing anyways. You guys are cute. I'm voting for you for couple of the year."

"Thanks, but I hope we don't win. I don't want to give my parents the satisfaction."

"I might run an Instagram fanpage," she joked, and I grinned.

Collapsing onto her side of the bed, she looked up at the ceiling. "I can't wait to meet Ocean Park. He's my celebrity crush." she sighed dreamily and looked at me. "Who's your celebrity crush?"

I'm dating him, I almost said, but I didn't out loud. "I don't have one. Wait, maybe Sang Heon Lee."

We learned some more about each other and spent some bonding time. By the time we finished unpacking, it was already dark.

I snuck out of the tent to the bus, where I knew the WiFi worked.

"...bye, Mom." Someone was already in the bus! I froze when I recognized the voice.

I heard Min Ho sigh, and his phone close with a click.

"You're seriously everywhere." I stated, going up the stairs and facing him. He scrambled into an upright sitting position.

"__! What are you doing here?"

"The same reason as you? WiFi and charging portals?" I plugged my charger into the side of a seat and let my phone hang from the side.

"They say great minds think alike, but this is seriously stalker behavior," he teased.

I sat down in the row diagonally across from him with a huff. "I don't have to stalk you, I'm your girlfriend."

He blinked obliviously for a second before nodding. "Ohhh yeah, right. I forgot about that."

I smiled and shook my head at the same time at his idiocy.

"Are you planning to kiss me on this bus?" he asked.

I fake gagged. "Ew, no, there are cameras."

"Is that the only thing that's stopping you?"

"You're seriously testing me, you know that, right?"

"Oh, trust me, I know."

"We're going to get in trouble if someone finds us in here," I informed him truthfully. He grinned, but before he could reply, a sound from the entrance of the bus startled both of us, and we jumped into two seats in practically a second, as if we'd rehearsed it before. I grabbed my phone and acted like I was scrolling through social media.

Q poked his head through, and Min Ho and I both breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a random person.

"Oh, goodie, it's just you two," he said in a flat tone. He sighed very tiredly and rolled his eyes at our nonchalant phone-viewing positions. "Don't even bother pretending. I'm leaving. Why does this always happen to me?"

"Why does what always happen to you?" I asked calmly.

"I... well, I always find a way to co—"

"STOP." Min Ho and I both interrupted at the same time.

"If you say that one more time..." Min Ho grumbled under his breath.

"There's cameras in here!" I agreed heatedly.

"That didn't seem to bother you guys a minute ago. And there aren't any cameras, I checked." When we just stared at him, he made a 'what' pose. "You think I'd be with Florian on the ride here if I knew someone was recording it?"

"Fair," I said.

Q waved at us. "Have fun kids—"

"OUT." Min Ho and I demanded at the same time. He muttered something too quiet for us to hear and promptly left the bus.

"Anyways," I continued awkwardly, "How are you?"

"Good, I guess. You?"

A text from Kitty averted my gaze. "Yuri and Dae were fake all along, she just told me!"

I frowned and typed back a response, ignoring Min Ho for a second. "Yeah, why wouldn't they be?"

Oh, wait, I thought a moment later. Does Kitty know Yuri's gay?

"You knew?!" she texted.

"I guessed, I texted back, sighing. 

"Who's that?" Min Ho asked with mild curiosity.

"Uh, Kitty." I answered absentmindedly, reading her new texts.

Kitty was telling me "Yuri says you figured out she was gay a long time ago."

"It wasn't that hard," I replied.

"Hello? __?" Min Ho grabbed my phone gently and tilted it down, covering the screen and making sure I couldn't see.

"What?" I asked, slapping his hand away.

"Are you gonna stop being distracted now?"

I laughed like he'd just said a funny joke. "Stop being distracted?"

My phone started beeping aggressively as Kitty called me.

"Kitty again?" he asked, unamused.

"Sorry. I'll talk to you later." I told him, grabbing my charger and running out of the bus. Before I left, I heard him groan.

"Come on!"
