Chapter 07

Jake POV
We were seated around the campfire, clapping along to a beat of a song.
I heard a giggle coming not too far from me and realised that it was Miso.
I smiled as her eyes glistened against the light as she enthusiastically clapped to the song.
"You really like her huh?" Hajoon whispered.
I quickly nodded in response, still looking at Miso.
"I see..." Hajoon laughed.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Miso, shall we take a stroll?" I asked once the campfire was over.
"Sure! I don't mind." She laughed.
"Ah Miso... I'm pretty beat, I'll head back first okay?" Jieun whined.
"Oh sure! Go ahead, I'll hang with Jake." Miso laughed before waving at her.
I saw Jieun turn around and wink at me before rushing off into the house.
"Shall we go?" Miso asked.
"Sure!" I responded quickly before trailing behind her.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"I never realised how pretty the sky is at night." I laughed.
"You must be indoors alot then, have you not gone stargazing before?" Miso quickly asked, looking up at the sky.
"No, not really." I smiled, looking at her.
"Mh! Then let's do it, come!" Miso laughed, quickly running to an empty patch of grass.
I quickly followed as she laid down on the ground.
We stared at the sky for a while before she spoke.
"Pretty right?" She asked.
"Mhm, super." I laughed.
"Oh would you mind taking photos for me? You're quite the photographer." She laughed, getting up.
"Of course!" I laughed as she handed me her phone.
She quickly turned to pose as I snapped tons of photos of her before we sat down once more.
"Oh this is cute!" She laughed.
"This and this too!" I chimed in as she selected the photos to be posted on instagram.
"Tag me!" I smiled as she was typing down a caption.
"Okay! Posted!" Miso laughed as I quickly refreshed my feed.
"Alright, I liked it!" I laughed before quickly adding the post to my story and putting my phone away.

Miso POV
Jake and I were talking when I noticed his gaze shift from my left eye to my right and down to my lips.
Triangle method?...
I stared at him awkwardly, unable to comprehend what was going on.
Was Jake in love with me?
"Anyways I think we should head back, It's almost 11." Jake sighed, standing up.
"Sure." I said abruptly before standing up.
We quickly arrived back at the dorm and I quickly ran off to my room, leaving Jake behind.
I huffed before shutting the door.
"Why, what happened?" Jieun asked, turning the pages of her book.
"Jake literally used the triangle method on me." I huffed as the rest of the girls turned to me in shock.
"No kidding..." Soyeon asked, getting down from the top bunk.
"I'm not kidding I saw it happening." I groaned in frustration.
"Isn't that good? The most popular guy using the triangle method on you? Doesn't that mean he likes you?" Mina chimed in.
"I know but I don't know if I see him like that... My feelings have been all over the place lately..." I whined.
"But you don't know for sure if he likes you anyway." Soyeon reassured.
"Yeah! Maybe he was just looking beyond you or whatever." Mina smiled.
"And don't forget about Chaesoo, don't worry too much about it okay?" Jieun sighed, patting my back.
"How could I not? That guy is literally potentially flirting with me?" I groaned, lying down on the floor.
"Geez you're so dramatic." Jieun laughed as Soyeon quickly slapped her on her arm.
"Don't forget about me guys." Seojin suddenly spoke.
I froze and quickly got up.
"Sorry, forgot about him." Soyeon laughed awkwardly before quickly ushering him off the bed.

Jake POV
"She totally likes you dude, I practically herd it myself." Seojin laughed.
"Stop getting his hopes up! It's a maybe." Hajoon huffed.
"True that, her feeling are over the place afterall, just give it some time." Yeonjin added, sipping on his water.
I nodded in response, glad that I was finally able to get advice.
"Mmh! But you should plan something, afterall we have 2 nights left!" Hajoon suggested.
"Oh yeah! What do you want to do?" Seojin asked.
"Dunno. I'll go with the flow I guess." I shrugged in response as the rest groaned and went back to doing their respective things.

The next day
Miso POV
I walked out of my room to see Jake in the kitchen holding a glass of water while looking at his phone.
I quickly tip toed to the toilet, hoping that he wouldn't see me.
"Miso!" Jieun called out as she came out from the toilet.
I sighed as I noticed Jake look up from his phone.
"Shit!" I thought as I dragged Jieun back into the room.
"What?!" Jieun huffed.
"Did you not see Jake there? It's so awkward between us now!" I groaned.
"Whoops... But still, what if he wasn't?" Jieun protested.
"But still! He literally has a girlfriend, I can't just be some homewr3cker can I?" I huffed.
"But you like him don't you?" Jieun whispered.
"I don't know okay? I just need some time to think about it." I sighed.
...

Jake POV
I sighed as I heard the conversation from the other side from the door.
Does that mean I shouldn't be making a move?
Just then, I heard Mrs Nam knock on the front door.
I quickly opened it as she smiled widely at me.
"Good morning Jake, just a reminder that your group should be outside at 10 am sharp." Mrs Nam laughed as I nodded, acknowledging her reminder.
"Will do Mrs Nam!" I smiled as she turned to walk away.
I quickly shut the door before knocking on the girls' room door.
"What's up?" Jieun asked, opening the door.
"Erm... Mrs Nam just said we have to be outside by 10." I informed, looking around the room for Miso.
"You're looking for Miso?" Soyeon laughed as she got off her bunk.
I went flush red upon hearing this.
How did she know?
"You're a little obvious you know, try harder next time." Soyeon scoffed as she unplugged her phone from the charger.
"Ah." I let out in attempt to hide how flustered I was.
Soyeon smiled as she walked past me and into the kitchen.
"Thanks for telling us by the way." Jieun smiled before promptly shutting the door.
Strange... Did I say something?
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Okay class! For our first activity, we'll be doing a food scavenger hunt!" Mrs Nam started.
"This will determine what your group has for lunch." The other teacher, Mr Lee continued.
"The food cards are hidden everywhere, from the trees to in your little houses." Mrs Nam smiled, holding up a few food cards.
"A bell will be rung to signal the end of the scavenger hunt and please remember to look out for eachother!" Mrs Nam quickly continued as the two classes ran off in search of the food cards.

I walked alone among the trees when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I quickly turned to see Jieun behind me.
"Oh hi!" I smiled, turning around.
"Hey, I wanna tell you something before Miso comes." She quickly said as I leaned in.
She quickly whispered something in my ear before running off back to Miso.
I smiled at the new found information before quickly continuing my search.
Throughout the rest of the search, I couldn't help but find myself giggling from time to time.
"Geez, isn't that so cute?" I mumbled at the thought of what Jieun had told me.
"Wait snap out of it Jake, don't get ahead of yourself okay?" I huffed, slapping my cheek.
Just then, I saw a classmate pass by as he gave me a weird look.
"Gosh how embarrassing!" I huffed, running off.
