Courage in the Game (Completed)

Something's Up

Xiumin (Exo)

Today was going to be fun as it was water day. The first thing we were going to do as an entire camp. All of us waited as names for groups were called out and it took forever due to the fact that there were eight groups, but we couldn't do anything until all the groups were formed. My name wasn't called until the last group. I was put with a chick named Lucy and Lay. Lay........that brought my thoughts back to last night. It made me blush a little to think of it. I was glad it was sunny out it meant I could say my blush was just my cheeks red from the sun. Lay and I had agreed no one could know what we had done. Everyone knew we had been fighting as we had been for about two weeks. Even though we were yelling and mad, we still kept to the secret code talk we had come up with so no one would know what was really going on. Lay and I were mad because each was getting distant from the other and it was becoming awkward around each other. We ended up yelling at each other due to the fact that neither of us would give the other a straight answer. Suho had separated us before we could get to the bottom of it.

Only later did I find out that Suho had arranged things so Lay and I would share a room. Let me share why we were fighting, we both liked each other. Not in a brotherly way anymore either. But while we were fighting and all that, I couldn't tell him that. For two weeks I couldn't tell him how I felt. I had no clue he had been feeling the same way. Both of us were blind to the way the other felt until we got to go to bed that night. We were just laying there when Lay started talking. Still in our little code.

"Why are you so mad Xiumin?" He quietly asked. I almost didn't hear him.

I rolled onto my back from my side. "Do you really want to know?"

Lay sighed at that point. "If I didn't want to know I wouldn't be asking."

"True."

"Now what is it?"

I began to feel my mind go blank. "Well...um...you see...I..."

I never got to finish that sentence. Lay was hovering over me in a flash. Something had changed, I could see that in his eyes. I couldn't bring myself to move as he laid a hand over my eyes. We had stayed like that for a minute before I felt something soft and warm on my lips. Was he kissing me?! I could feel myself relax. This meant he liked me too. After he broke the kiss, we ended up sharing the bed. Don't worry nothing else happened. We just fell asleep curled up facing each other with our foreheads touching. Not to mention we had our hands joined in between us. I had never slept so peacefully before. But we couldn't tell anybody about it. As far as they knew, we were mad due to the fact we had each been taking the other's things.

I sighed, grabbed Lay's arm, and lead us over to Lucy. I had no idea what was in store for today, but I imagined it would be fun. Once we were in our groups and lined up, our managers lead up farther down the beach. I could hear groans and excited shouts ahead of me so I didn't know whether to worried or happy. As my group neared the rest, I saw it was a huge obstacle course floating on the water. It amazed me. This thing was huge and floating like it was nothing.

"This is gonna be fun," I heard Lay whisper in my ear.

He was so close I could feel his breath on my ear. It made me blush to think of him so close. Why did he have to do this to me now? Lay knew I needed to focus and yet he was doing this to me. Aish. I would have to take it out on him later.

"So three members from each team going to run this course. We will have eight people on the course at one, one team member from each group at a time," I heard a manager say. Though I didn't know who's manager.

This was going to be interesting. But I was thankful not to be on the course at the same time as Lay. The eight of us that were going to be on the course at one time. I looked to see who I was up against. Suho, CAP, GD, Aaron, Rayne, Lynn, and William. This was going to be easy. I knew Suho wouldn't be fast on this. CAP looked too big and I wasn't too sure about GD. Aaron looked like he might fall off. And come on two girls?
