Camping Day

The morning sun cast a golden glow over the school grounds as students gathered for the much-anticipated camping trip. Soojin's excitement bubbled as she chatted with her best friend Yeji, both eagerly anticipating the adventure ahead.

As they boarded the bus, the air buzzed with anticipation and energy. Students sang along to lively tunes, and even the teachers seemed to be in high spirits, joining in the fun

"Can you believe Jungkook is actually here?" Yeji whispered to Soojin, her eyes wide with surprise.

"I know, it's strange," Soojin replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

The journey was filled with laughter and banter, punctuated by occasional bursts of singing and impromptu games. Taeyong's witty remarks kept everyone entertained, while the teachers gave instructions for the day's activities.

Arriving at the camping site, they were greeted by the serene beauty of nature. Soojin couldn't help but admire how Jungkook effortlessly carried camping equipment, his strong arms flexing as he unloaded the bus.

Setting up tents turned into a chaotic yet amusing affair. Soojin and Yeji struggled to figure out the tent poles, earning laughs from their classmates. Meanwhile, Taehyung attempted to set up a tent, only to realize he had forgotten the instructions, much to everyone's amusement.

"Taehyung, are you sure you know what you're doing?" Soojin teased, watching him wrestle with the tent fabric.

"Of course, I'm an expert at everything," Taehyung replied with mock confidence.

Amidst the chaos, Soojin couldn't help but notice Jungkook's skillful tent-building technique. She found herself stealing glances at him, surprised by how capable he seemed. But then she quickly reminded herself of his past actions, squashing any budding admiration.

As the day progressed, they engaged in various camping activities. Soojin found herself laughing and enjoying the moment with her friends, momentarily forgetting about Jungkook's presence.

After the tents were finally set up, the teacher gathered all the students in a clearing, their voices echoing in excitement across the campsite.

"Alright, everyone, gather around!" the teacher called out, gaining the attention of the bustling students. "We're going to kick off our camping trip with a fun game!"

The teacher explained the rules of the game: it was a variation of capture the flag, but with a twist. The campsite was divided into two teams, and each team had a designated flag hidden somewhere in their territory. The goal was to sneak into the opponent's territory, find their flag, and bring it back to their own base without getting tagged by an opponent.

Excited murmurs filled the air as students understood the challenge ahead. They began strategizing with their teammates, deciding who would be the defenders and who would go on the offense.

Soojin overheard whispers among her friends about who would form teams with whom. Taehyung and Yeji seemed particularly enthusiastic, their laughter ringing out as they discussed their game plan.

Meanwhile, Jungkook exchanged playful banter with his friends, his eyes occasionally flickering in Soojin's direction. He couldn't help but notice how she seemed to be genuinely enjoying herself with her friends, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

As the game rules were explained, students started forming teams, strategizing and teasing each other along the way. Soojin found herself joining forces with Yeji and Taehyung, their competitive spirits high as they prepared for the challenge.
