Chapter 14 : On The Bus

The day of the camp...

🎵 Raemi's P.O.V.

A lot of the people had already arrived when I got to the venue. I spotted Eunhae among them and made my way toward her. "Eunhae ya!" I said, waving to her. "Eu, Raemi ya. You're here." She said moving aside to give me some space to sit on.

"Are you ready for this three-day camp?" She said. "Yea..." I said unenthustiastically. "What's up with you?" She reacted. "Nothing. It's just that..." I said. "What? Myungsoo?" She guessed. I nodded. "I miss him. I miss spending time with him but it feels like something's changed." "You're the one who changed Raemi. I can see that he likes spending time with you but you always refuse to do so. He still keeps asking you if you wanted to get on his bike eventhough you keep om refusing.. That means something. I thought you said that nothing would change... " she said seriously. She was right you know. I know that I said that but.. "I know I said that but I think it was some kind of defense mechanism on my part. How would you react if you were in my situation? I'm sure you would do the same thing. But... My efforts to forget everything about him, me feelings... were useless. During the time I was at home.. Or walking towards home, he was all that I could think of." I said. "I'd probably do the same thing. No ones likes to get hurt. So what are you going to do now?" She asked. "I don't know... I'd like everything to be the same again but I'm not sure he would like that." I said. "Don't be silly, Raemi. He enjoys your company. I'm pretty sure he misses you too." She said putting an arm around my shoulder. "Really?" I asked. "Really."

Just then Myungsoo and Sungjae arrived. "Speak of the devil.." Eunhae whispered to me. I looked at her and smiled a little. I knew that it was her way to encourage me. They approached us and stayed with us. Myungsoo sat beside me while Sungjae stayed with Eunhae. The couple were lovey-dovey with each other which left Myungsoo and I to ourselves.

There was an eerie silence between us so I was glad when he was the one who broke it. "They're doing it again." He said looking at them, a smile on his lips. I stared at him. How can he act like nothing changed? I was happy about it but I was just curious. I wondered why I even bothered forgetting him. He was comfortable to be with..he was one of the few who looked past my faćade.. He likes me for who I am and I like him for who he is. He's kind, good-natured not to mention that he's handsome and perfect (well,for me anyway).. "Is there something on my face?" He said and smiled.. Well that brought me back to reality. "Huh? Aniya oppa.. It's just..." I started but the teacher's voice interrupted.

"Well, it looks like everyone's here.. Let's get on the bus." She screamed. I gathered up my things and started to get up but when I looked up, a hand was in front of me. It was Myungsoo offering his hand to me. I grabbed it and felt a tinggling sensation as our skins touched. He gracefully lifted me up but uncoordinated me managed to outbalance myself. He caught me and pulled me close. His hands were around my waist.... our faces inches apart. He smiled at me and said, "Gwaenchanha? I see you still trip over stuff." And smirked. "Yah.." I playfully hit him. He smiled to himself.

We were approaching the bus when he said, "Why don't we sit together? Besides.. You can continue what you were saying earlier before the teacher interrupted." Sit together with Myungsoo? My heart races just thinking about it. "Sure.. If you won't mind." I managed to say and smiled a little. "I won't mind.. Especially if it's you." He said and looked at me with those eyes. Right then and there I knew that I've fallen for him.... HARD.

During the ride, the teacher said some reminders that I couldn't remember. Myungsoo and I talked about anything but most of the time I would just be staring out the window watching the view while he would keep on asking me what I was staring at. Half way to our trip, we stopped at a rest stop. We were supposed to have our breakfast there but I already had mine but still, I went down with Myungsoo.
