I WOKE UP to a gentle nudge, my senses slowly awakening as I gradually opened my eyes. The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow upon the room. As consciousness washed over me, I realized I was enveloped in Jungwon's tender embrace. His arms wrapped around me, providing a comforting sense of security. I could feel the rise and fall of his chest with each breath, a rhythmic lullaby that whispered tranquility into my ear.

Jungwon, ever the shy and cautious one, seemed slightly stiff, unsure of my reaction to our closeness. His voice carried a hint of vulnerability as he spoke, "Another game is starting soon." A rosy blush tinged my cheeks, a natural response to the proximity and his affectionate words. My heart skipped a beat, silently acknowledging the depth of our connection. With a gentle nod, we began to stir, gradually untangling ourselves from the cozy embrace of the bed.

As I stumbled drowsily towards the door, my senses still adjusting to the waking world, a sudden knock disrupted the tranquility. Surprised, my sleepy eyes widened as I opened the door, revealing Yuri standing there, our classmate, clutching a stack of papers in her hands.

It had been no secret that Yuri harbored feelings for Jungwon, though she had been suppressing them during this trip, torn between her emotions and the constant interference of her friends. A soft, yet forced smile graced her lips as she handed me a paper, her eyes betraying a hint of frustration. It was clear that Yuri had been sending subtle glares my way in recent days. "The game will start in 20 minutes," she stated, her tone tinged with a mix of formality and hidden emotions, before turning away and retreating into the distance.

Suppressing a mischievous snicker as Yuri's figure disappeared, I closed the door and turned my attention to the paper clutched in my hand. Jungwon approached his presence as a comforting anchor amidst the whirlwind of emotions. Together, we perused the contents of the paper, absorbing the details. "Wear comfy clothes," Jungwon read aloud, a mischievous glimmer dancing in his eyes, hinting at the playful banter to come. He swiftly delved into his suitcase, retrieving a set of clothes suitable for the upcoming challenge.

"The game will be tug of war," I added, my eyes momentarily leaving the paper to meet Jungwon's gaze. In that split second, I caught a glimpse of his toned stomach as he began to lift his shirt, playfully teasing me. Surprised and flustered, I couldn't help but avert my gaze, feeling a blush creeping onto my cheeks. "Yah!" I exclaimed, my voice betraying a mix of embarrassment and amusement. "There's a bathroom, you know!"

A sassy smile played upon Jungwon's lips, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. "Ah, I forgot it's a big deal for you," he retorted, his voice laced with playful sarcasm, his shirt remaining tantalizingly close to being lifted.

My brows furrowed in mock indignation, determined not to let him rattle me. "What's that supposed to mean?" I inquired, attempting to maintain a composed front.

A mischievous glint danced in his eyes as he paused, leaning against the bathroom door. "Can't handle seeing a little skin?" he questioned, his tone teasing and light.

I hesitated for a moment, caught off guard by his playful banter. "I can..." I trailed off, my voice betraying a hint of uncertainty.

A triumphant smirk graced Jungwon's face as he considered his victory, relishing in the playful banter. With a proud smile, he acquiesced, "So it's fine if I change out here then?" His fingers lightly gripped the edge of his shirt, teasingly suggesting an unveiling of his sculpted physique.

My flustered expression gave way to a defeated sigh, realizing I had fallen right into his playful trap. "No, just go to the bathroom," I conceded, a mixture of amusement and exasperation lacing my words. Jungwon beamed with satisfaction as if claiming a small victory, before disappearing into the bathroom. As the door clicked shut, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me, grateful that I could finally release the concealed flustered expression that had been building within me.
