Clandestine

Chapter 36 (Chen)

I was the first one to wake up. I checked on my phone and headed out of the tent without waking up Jong in who's sleeping soundly. There are two backs walking away from the campsite. I'm sure it's a girl and a boy.

I checked on noona's tent and she was there. The bed next to her was empty. Now, who is Seolhyun with at this hour?

"Is she awake?"

Chanyeol just came out of his tent, rubbing his eyes.

"Is Gikwang hyung still inside the tent?"

Channie shared a tent with hyung. He took another peek and looked at me shaking his head.

"He might have taken a stroll"

"Yeah. A stroll with Seolhyun"

"Ohhh!!!!"

Our brains are so in sync we initially looked at each other and thought of the same thing.

"She's going to kill them if she finds out"

"Yeah! Like Push them off a cliff or something. We never know what she can do. So let's agree not tell her"

"Okay"

and then we giggled like grade schoolers keeping a secret. Sehun came out with Suho who went straight to where we're standing.

"What's so funny?"

"No one tell noona, okay?"

Channie started. We formed a circle, arms on each other's shoulder like were about to spill a big secret.

"Gikwang and Seolhyun is on an early morning date..."

"Pft. They must have just taken a stroll!" 

"What? This is a matter of life and death"

Suho hyung broke off and started to laugh. This is a serious matter but even Sehun is laughing. We just looked at them like we said something really funny.

"Shh!!! You'll wake her up!!"

I covered Sehun's mouths to stop him from waking up the others. Xiumin and Baekhyun woke up whining.

"What's the noise about?! Yah!"

"Shh!!!!"

We said in chorus. Everyone's being too loud. Kyungsoo whining about being hungry, Kai who can't find his contact lenses and Lay who's complaining about being cold.

"What's this about?!"

"Sh*t! You've woken her up!"

She was approaching while her eyes were still half close and her hair so messed up. Everyone turned their backs and started dispersing like nothing happened. I was closest to her she so grabbed my shoulder. I just froze while she gave me a stare.

"G-good morning!"

"Yah! I already heard the part where you told them not tell me.. so what was that?"

"Suho hyung! He knows!"

I turned and they just left me with her. She doesn't let go of my shoulder and waits for an answer.

"Don't hurt me if I tell you, okay?"

She lets go of her grip and tied her hair up.

"Seolhyun and Hyung is out on a morning date..."

I crossed my arms to protect my face incase she plans to hit me.

"You saw them?"

"Y-yeah?"
