As we finished setting up the tent, Yu Lin announced, "Alright, folks! It's time for some audience interaction! We've got a list of questions from the viewers that our idols will answer during this mission. Let's see how they fare under pressure!"

The tension in the air shifted as everyone exchanged glances, a mix of excitement and dread.

"First up," Yu Lin said, reading from her tablet, "What's your biggest fear about this camping trip?"

Lily laughed nervously. "Honestly? I'm terrified of bears. What if one comes sniffing around our food?"

I smile at her and say "Don't be worried I will fight it because I'm not sharing!"

Alastair chimed in, "Bears? I'm more worried about getting lost. I have zero sense of direction. Without GPS I will be a sitting duck." This is the first time he has spoken without getting prompted, looks like he has gotten comfortable with us. 

"I'm with Miss Dahlia on this one" Kai says 

"Just call me Dahlia" I tell Kai

"Okay, will do"

Kai continues saying "I'm worried about the judgment from the viewers. I hope they understand that we're just here to have fun, not to be perfect." We all nod in agreement with his statement.

I nodded in agreement. "I think we all share that fear, especially with the live stream adding pressure."

Adrian shuddered and says "I will rather be inside playing video games than being in the wild. Everything is out to get you out there." Causing us to all laugh he has a way of making people feel light. 

"What about you Andromeda what will you do?" Yu Lin looks at Andromeda who is silently sitting on a log.

I glanced over at Andromeda, who had been quietly observing us from her perch on a nearby log. She had a serene expression, as if contemplating the universe itself, her dark hair falling over her shoulders like a curtain.

Yu Lin's question hung in the air, and the group turned to her expectantly. "What about you, Andromeda? What will you do?"

She blinked, momentarily startled by the attention. "Um," she began slowly, "I guess I'd want to connect with nature. I've always felt that being outdoors helps clear my mind."

Lily leaned in, curious. "What do you mean by that?"

Andromeda smiled softly. "There's something grounding about being in the wilderness. I find peace in the sounds of the wind, the rustling leaves. It reminds me that there's more to life than the chaos of our careers."

"That's deep," I said, genuinely intrigued. "So you're not worried about all the craziness we might face during the live stream?"

She shook her head. "Not really. I think it'll be fun to step outside our comfort zones. Plus, I have a few survival tips up my sleeve." A playful glint appeared in her eyes, making her seem more approachable.

"Like what?" Yu Lin pressed, eager for content.

"Well, for starters, I know how to identify edible plants," Andromeda replied, her confidence growing. "And I can make a fire using just a few sticks and some dry leaves. Maybe I can teach you all if we get stuck out here!"

The group laughed, and suddenly the atmosphere felt lighter.

"Count me in for the plant lesson," I said, a newfound appreciation for Andromeda sparking within me. "I could use all the help I can get."

Yu Lin clapped her hands, energized by the shift in conversation. "See? This is the kind of teamwork we need! Let's make sure we all contribute our unique skills. You might just survive this after all!"
