Later at night

Y/N's room was a whirlwind of clothes, textbooks, and travel-sized toiletries. She was in the middle of packing for her university trip, trying to fit everything into a single suitcase. As she struggled with a particularly stubborn zipper, her mom walked in, followed closely by her grandma.

"Need any help, dear?" Mom asked, already reaching for a pile of clothes to fold.

"Yes, please!" Y/N sighed in relief. "I'm not sure how I'm going to get all of this in here."

Grandma chuckled and took a seat on the bed. "When I was your age, we didn't have these fancy suitcases with wheels. We had to carry everything."

Mom rolled her eyes playfully. "Yes, and you walked ten miles in the snow to school, right?"

Grandma laughed. "Maybe not ten, but it sure felt like it some days. Anyway, Y/N, you don't need to take half of this. You're only going for a week!"

Y/N looked at the pile and frowned. "But what if I need something? I don't want to be unprepared."

Mom smiled and started sorting through the items. "Let's see. Three pairs of jeans? You probably only need two. And you don't need all these books, just take the essential ones."

Y/N watched as her mom and grandma worked together to streamline her packing. They shared stories of their own travels, filling the room with laughter and nostalgia.

By the time they were done, the suitcase was neatly packed with everything Y/N would need. She closed the zipper with ease and smiled at her mom and grandma. "Thanks, you two. I couldn't have done it without you."

Grandma patted her on the back. "Anytime, sweetheart. Now, go have the time of your life and don't forget to call us."

Mom gave her a hug. "And take lots of pictures. We want to hear all about it when you get back."

Y/N nodded, feeling grateful for the support and love from her family. She was ready for her adventure, knowing she had the best cheerleaders back home.

Y/N arrived at the university with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. The courtyard was bustling with students, all eager to start their trip. She quickly spotted her friends gathered near the main entrance.

"Y/N! Over here!" Seungcheol waved enthusiastically.

She hurried over, dragging her suitcase behind her. "Hey, guys! Ready for the big adventure?"

Jeonghan grinned. "Absolutely. I've been looking forward to this all semester."

Joshua adjusted his backpack. "I hope we get good seats on the bus. I want to take some nice photos during the ride."

Nayeon nodded. "Yeah, me too. Plus, I packed enough snacks to last the whole trip."

Jisoo laughed. "Of course you did."

Just then, the professors arrived, holding clipboards and looking around at the gathered students. Professor Kim, the head of the trip, raised his hand to get everyone's attention.

"Good morning, everyone! We're excited to have you all here for this educational and fun trip. Before we get started, please make sure you have all your belongings with you. We will begin boarding the buses shortly."

The students murmured in anticipation as the professors went through their lists, making sure everyone was accounted for. After a few minutes, Professor Kim spoke again.

"Alright, everyone. Please line up in an orderly fashion and head towards the buses. We'll assign seats as you board."

Y/N and her friends made their way to the line, chatting excitedly about their plans for the trip. As they approached the bus, a sense of adventure filled the air.

"This is going to be awesome," Jeonghan said, stepping onto the bus.

Y/n followed, looking around for the perfect seat. She found a spot by the window and waved her friends over. "Over here, guys!"

They settled in, stowing their bags in the overhead compartments. The bus quickly filled with the buzz of conversations and laughter.

As the bus pulled away from the university, Professor Kim stood at the front with a microphone. "Alright, everyone. We'll be on the road for a few hours, so get comfortable. Remember, this trip is not just about fun, but also about learning and experiencing new things. Let's make the most of it!"

Y/n tried look out the window as the scenery began to change, feeling a thrill of excitement. Surrounded by her friends and with the promise of new experiences ahead, She knew this trip would be unforgettable.

She was seated in middle of Jeonghan and Joshua. Joshua on her right and Jeonghan on left. Beside Joshua was Seungcheol who was sound asleep keeping his head on the window. Jisoo and Nayeon in their own world beside Jeonghan.

Time passed really fast. The bus dropped the students and professors on the port. As time passed the boat was ready to carry the students to the destination.

As they boarded the boat, Y/N couldn't shake a strange feeling. "Does anyone else feel like we've done this before?" she asked, looking around at her friends.

Seungcheol nodded slowly. "Yeah, it's weird. It's like I've seen this exact scene in a dream or something."

Jeonghan shrugged. "Déjà vu, maybe? Who knows? Let's just enjoy the ride."

Joshua gave a reassuring smile. "Exactly. We're here to have fun and learn. Let's make the most of it."

Nayeon, trying to lighten the mood, pulled out a bag of snacks. "Well, I have enough food to last us through any strange feelings. Anyone want some chips?"

Jisoo laughed and grabbed a handful. "You always know how to make things better, Nayeon."

As the boat set off, Y/N took a deep breath, letting the fresh sea air fill her lungs. The sun was shining, and the water sparkled under its light. Despite the lingering sense of déjà vu, the beauty of the moment began to put everyone at ease.

The boat ride was filled with awe as they passed scenic landscapes and fascinating geological formations. The professors pointed out various points of interest, blending education with the adventure.

Finally, the boat docked at their destination, a secluded island known for its unique wildlife and pristine nature trails. As they disembarked, the excitement among the students was palpable.

"Wow, this place is amazing," Y/N said, looking around in wonder.

Seungcheol stretched his arms, taking in the view. "Totally worth the trip."

Jeonghan and Joshua took out their cameras, eager to capture the beauty of the island. Nayeon and Jisoo chatted animatedly about the activities planned for the day.

Professor Kim gathered the group once more. "Alright, everyone. We have a full day ahead of us. We'll start with a guided tour of the island, followed by some free time to explore on your own. Remember to stay with your buddies and have fun."

Y/N and her friends joined the tour, their initial apprehensions forgotten. The island was even more beautiful up close, with lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore.

As they walked along the trails, Y/N felt a sense of contentment wash over her. She was surrounded by friends, experiencing new things, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.

"Hey, look at that!" Nayeon pointed to a group of colorful birds perched on a tree.

Everyone gathered to take pictures and admire the scene. The sense of déjà vu had completely faded, replaced by the excitement of the moment.

"This is going to be an amazing trip," Y/N said, smiling at her friends. They all nodded in agreement, ready to embrace whatever adventures awaited them on the island.
