You Never Walk Alone [1st Draft Ver.]

Chapter 72

"Hey, Namu!" Hoseok whisper-yelled, kicking his twin in the leg under the table.

"What?" Namjoon murmured back, clearly not enjoying being disturbed in the midst of a class.

"Ki-ha and Ki-ho are asking if... you want to stop by the dam... after school today." Hoseok spoke.

"The dam?" Namjoon repeated, trailing off into thought, "Can I bring... Ga-eun?"

"Ooh lover boy... wants to take his love out... on a date?" Hoseok teased, "Yeah, sure you can bring... her along, I guess." He answered.

"Great!" Namjoon chirped, returning his focus back on the teacher.

-

"Has everyone assembled... here?" Hoseok inquired, turning to Ki-ha, "Vice-president, please check." He ordered.

Ki-ha climbed up the administrative building's stairs to do a quick head count.

"All members present!" Ki-ha declared, jumping down from the stairs and doing a salute.

"Very well." Hoseok nodded, "Let us proceed... to the headquarters."

And with that, the sixteen teenagers walked out of the school, chattering about.

"Hobi," Ki-ho called out, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Yes?" Hoseok responded.

"Should we tease Joon?" Ki-ho asked.

Hoseok looked back at the couple, who were talking about some deep, philosophical topic.

"Nah. Let's leave... them be." Hoseok answered, "We're the Wingmen... and Wingwomen Council,... Not the Annoying Council."

"Alright," Ki-ho shrugged.

"Behold, dear members of The WAWC!" Ki-ha exclaimed as they neared the dam, "Our headquarters!"

"Woah," Ga-eun and Su-hye exhaled as the looked at the dam.

An old structure that had been taken over by nature, moss, vines and wild plants and wild flowers grew everywhere. There were cracked steps leading up to the bridge-part of the dam.

"Are you guys sure this won't collapse to the ground?" Ga-eun asked, "Because this seems a little... unstable."

"We're sure." Hoseok replied confidently, "We've been... here many times."

"Alright then," Ga-eun shrugged.

"Let's go!" Su-hye exclaimed, running up the stairs and covering almost half of the steps.

"HOW do you... have so much energy?" Yoongi whined as he climbed up the first two steps very slowly.

"The idea of adventure excites me, Yoongs." Su-hye grinned.

"Same, eonnie!" Kyung-mi joined in, jumping up to be on the same step as Su-hye.

"Ugh. Youngsters." Yoongi grumbled.

"C'mon hyung, don't... be a grandpa, let's... have fun." Taehyung chirped, jumping up two steps.

"Yeah! At this pace, we'll... reach the top by the... next day." Jimin joined in.

"I suppose, I will... try to hurry up." Yoongi sighed, slowly moving a step up.

"Good!" Kyung-se cheered.

The other teenagers quickly bounded up the cracked staircase.

"Woah!" Su-hye breathed out as she looked around the dam. There were two short hills on either side of the dam, about the same height as the dam, and all of them were covered with vines and wild plants.
