Drunken desires

Jaemin walked out of his shared bedroom with Jia, eyes puffy and left arm going limp as she almost cut of his blood circulation when they decided to take a nap before dinner. By now the employees had all settled into their cabins, fully equipping themselves with groceries to make dinner in their separate cabins as it approached 6pm

"You look horrible" Mark said, turning the guys attention to Jaemin as he groggily sat down at the dining table, face down on the wooden furniture with a groan escaping his mouth

"Anyone wanna trade roommates?" Jaemin asked with a rusty voice, Renjun's hand immediately shooting up making Haechan pout.

"You don't like me as your roommate?" Haechan asked, trying to act overly cute with infuriated Renjun further

"I'd rather chop myself up into tiny little pieces than have you as my roommate" Renjun said with a scowl, not liking how the boy chose the bed closest to the window even thought Renjun had claimed it before him.

"Alright, dinner is sorted guys, we'll just barbecue Renjun" Haechan said, rolling his eyes

"Speaking of barbecue, did you remember to buy lighter fluid?" Mark asked Jaemin who nodded, lazily pointing his finger to the grocery bag he had managed to pack with cooking materials to last them the trip.

"I'll cook the meat in an hour, can someone start marinating it?" Jaemin asked

"I'll do it" a voice piped up and they all turned to look at Jia who looked extremely well rested in comparison to her roommate making Haechan smile to himself, trying not to catch her eye since they were still avoiding each other

Jia busied herself in the kitchen with help from Mark and Jeno while Haechan set up the barbecue outside with Jaemin. Dinner passed by smoothly, Haechan and Jia still silently refusing to be within the same space bubble of each other, unbeknownst to the others.

"All by myself!! Don't wanna live" Jia sang her heart out, and badly at that as the group sat around the campfire with a few of the other employees. They sat in a circle of chairs, majority of them empty as it was way past midnight and the employees had to be up early tomorrow for the hike.

"I don't think I can ever see you as my boss again" Chenle said, a disgusted look on his face as she made a horrible attempt to sing like Celine Dion.

"She's not that bad" Jeno said, trying to defend her but as she started butchering the whistle tones, he couldn't help but close his ears

"Who let them drink this much alcohol again?" Jisung asked, turning his head to Mark who was encouraging her to sing more, adding little adlibs of 'skrrt skrrt' 'brrrah' and 'say what' inbetween the lines of the infamous ballad.

"You know Mark, for a human resource manager, singing is the one resource you really don't have as a human okay?" Renjun stated, unable to enjoy the song that was playing off his own phone

"Na Jaemin!" Jia shouted out of nowhere

"Xiao Jiayi!" He shouted back in the same tone, still turning around to give her a smile while brought the plate of cooked smores out to the group

"Come over here and give me a kiss" Jia said with a giggle, making sure to glance her eyes over Haechan, the first interaction they had since arriving to the resort.

"Not this again" Renjun whined and Jia glared

"Be careful Jaemin~ you're sharing a room tonight" Mark teased

"What? You can't tell me we won't make the cutest babies! We're perfect for each other!" She exclaimed and Haechan bit his lip to hide his smile at her failed attempt of making him jealous
