The morning sun spilled golden light through the classroom windows, casting warm rays across the desks where students chatted excitedly about the upcoming science project. Eunhye sat with her friends, Haeryeong and Eunbyul, flipping through a flyer about the requirements for the project. For some reason, he thoughts kept drifting back to Wonbin.

"Are you even listening, Eunhye?" Haeryeong teased, nudging her shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm just... thinking," Eunhye replied, shaking her head to clear her thoughts. She glanced over at Wonbin, who was seated with his friends—Eunseok, Shotaro, and Sohee—on the other side of the room. They were laughing, their camaraderie easy and infectious. A small smile crept across her face as she watched Wonbin's animated expressions.

"Thinking about Wonbin again?" Eunbyul teased, wiggling her eyebrows.

Eunhye felt her cheeks heat up. "Maybe," she admitted. She thought, why do they keep on catching me?

"Maybe? Girl, you're totally crushing!" Haeryeong exclaimed, and Eunhye shot her a warning glance.

"Keep it down!" Eunhye hissed, though she couldn't help but giggle.

"Okay, so we need to come up with an idea for the project," Eunbyul said, munching on a chip. "Any ideas?"

"Maybe a volcano?" Haeryeong suggested.

"Boring! That's so stereotypical!" Eunbyul rolled her eyes. "We need something more exciting!"

As they debated, Eunhye's mind wandered again to Wonbin. Isn't she just obsessed? Just then, her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a message from Wonbin.

"Hey, Eunhye! Are you and your friends free this weekend? We're planning a camping trip and would love for you all to join us!"

Eunhye's heart raced as she read the message. A camping trip? With Wonbin and his friends? She quickly typed a response, her fingers trembling with excitement.

"Wow, that sounds amazing! We'd love to join! What do we need to bring?"

A few moments later, her phone buzzed again.

"Great! Just some clothes, sleeping bags, and snacks. We'll take care of the rest. Can't wait!"

Eunhye could hardly contain her excitement. She shared the news with her friends, who squealed in delight.

"Are you serious? We're going camping with them?" Haeryeong exclaimed, practically bouncing on the grass.

"This is huge! You and Wonbin will have a chance to really bond," Eunbyul added, winking.

Eunhye felt her cheeks flush again. "I hope it goes well. I'm a little nervous."

"Don't be! Just be yourself," Haeryeong reassured her. "This is your chance to show him how awesome you are!"

As the days passed, the group prepared for their camping trip. They packed snacks, games, and plenty of supplies, their excitement bubbling over. Eunhye felt a mix of anticipation and nerves, especially knowing she would be spending an extended period with Wonbin.

Finally, the day of the camping trip arrived. The six of them met at the school parking lot, each carrying their gear. Eunhye spotted Wonbin standing beside his friends, looking effortlessly cool in a casual t-shirt and jeans.

"Hey, Eunhye!" Wonbin greeted with a bright smile as she approached.

"Hi, Wonbin!" she replied, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Ready for an adventure?" he asked enthusiastically.

"Absolutely!" she said, feeling a surge of confidence.

Once everyone was loaded into the van, the atmosphere was lively. Haeryeong, Shotaro and Sohee joked in the backseat, while Eunseok and Eunbyul engaged in a light-hearted debate about camping gear. Eunhye and Wonbin sat in the middle, exchanging occasional glances and smiles.

As they drove toward the campsite, Eunhye felt the tension begin to melt away. The conversation flowed easily, and she found herself laughing at Wonbin's jokes. He had a way of making her feel at ease, and she appreciated how he included her in the group's banter.

After a scenic drive filled with music and laughter, they finally arrived at the campsite. The air was fresh, and the scent of pine filled their lungs. As they unloaded the van, Eunhye marveled at the beauty surrounding them—the tall trees, the distant sound of a flowing stream, and the clear blue sky.

"Okay, team! Let's set up camp!" Sohee announced, taking charge with enthusiasm.

They all worked together, setting up tents and gathering firewood. The camaraderie among the group made the tasks enjoyable, and Eunhye found herself stealing glances at Wonbin, who was in his element.

Once the camp was set up, they gathered around the fire pit. The sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. Eunhye settled onto a log next to Wonbin, her heart fluttering as they shared the warmth of the fire.

"Isn't this amazing?" he said, gazing at the flames.

"It really is," Eunhye replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'm so glad we came."

As night fell, they roasted marshmallows and made s'mores, laughter echoing in the stillness of the forest. Eunhye felt a sense of belonging and joy, surrounded by friends and the beauty of nature.

"Eunhye, you're going to love this!" Sohee exclaimed, handing her a perfectly toasted marshmallow.

Eunhye took a bite, savoring the gooey sweetness. "This is delicious!" she said, grinning at Sohee.

With the fire crackling and stories being shared, Eunhye felt the bond between them all strengthening. She caught Wonbin's eye, and for a moment, everything else faded away.

"Here's to friendship and adventures!" Haeryeong raised her cup, and everyone cheered, the warmth of the fire matching the warmth in Eunhye's heart.

As the night wore on, they shared ghost stories and played games, the laughter ringing out into the cool night air. Eunhye couldn't remember the last time she had felt so carefree and happy.

"Alright, everyone, it's time to get some rest," Eunseok announced, and everyone nodded in agreement. They made their way back to their respective tents.

Haeryeong, Eunbyul, and Eunhye settled into their sleeping bags, switching off the camp light. Haeryeong was a quick sleeper, drifting off almost immediately. About thirty minutes later, Eunbyul's loud snoring filled the tent, breaking the silence. Meanwhile, Eunhye found herself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a notification.

He took her phone and noticed a notification from Wonbin. What is he doing late at night? Is he also not asleep?
