No one POV

It was the third day of camping and all nine students had woke up. Jihyo made breakfast for that day, and they were all gathered to eat. Tomorrow was their last day where they had to return home in the afternoon. When they all finished eating, Jihyo then announced their next challenge, which was fishing.

"Alright everyone, your next challenge, is to see who will catch the biggest amount of fish in the sea area" Jihyo instructed.

"Let's do this!" everyone agreed.

Everyone received their fishing tools and sat beside the sea to start fishing.

"Jeongyeon ah, you haven't prepared your fishing tools yet" Jihyo stated and looked at Jeongyeon who was just sitting alone.

"I don't really feel like doing anything right now, I need some time alone" Jeongyeon replied with her cheerless voice and left the others.

But Jeongyeon didn't know that Momo was staring at her the whole time. She had no idea that Momo actually felt alone when she left her. She just wasn't good at expressing her feelings. She always had her mask on. The mask that showed her fake smile, and emotionless face. Nobody knew her real face. Her real feelings. Her real self. It was all hidden deeply behind that mask.

Momo felt lonely, but she didn't have the courage to follow Jeongyeon. She stared deeply into the sea and thought about her. She regretted everything, and she wanted Jeongyeon to know what she really meant by the words 'I love you'.

"Yah, this is so boring" Chaeyoung complained.

"I didn't expect this to ever happen, but I'm agreeing with you for the first time" Tzuyu said and sighed.

"Heol, I've caught something!" Dahyun said excitedly.

"I don't want to be here anymore" Nayeon said with her judging face.

"Yah, I almost fell in the sea" Sana whined.

"Dammit" Tzuyu whispered under her breath.

"This is so fun" Dahyun exclaimed while catching fish after fish.

Everyone stayed like this for two hours until Jihyo announced the results. Everyone looked tiredly at Jihyo except Dahyun.

"So the winner is Dahyun" Jihyo said and gave Dahyun a box of tofu.

"That's called cannibalism!" Chaeyoung pointed at the tofu with wide eyes.

"Wah, so funny Chaeng" Tzuyu eyerolled.

"Sorry, I forgot Mina. Minari is in second place" Jihyo said and clapped like a seal.

Chaeyoung smiled at Mina from afar, but she was still speechless after her peck on the cheeks.

Momo POV

I left the others and took a walk around. A feeling rushed through my body. A feeling of emptiness. My only thoughts were on Jeongyeon. Am I already missing her?

I inhaled the cold air and touched the green leaves of the trees around me. I had walked for a while, that I haven't realized that I accidentally walked into the camping kitchen. I stopped when my heart started beating faster realizing I wasn't alone. I saw a person cooking from behind. My heartbeat got faster and faster knowing who the person was. I was too afraid to go further. I watched in silence how focused the person was in cooking the food and using different ingredients. I was so attracted that I didn't realize there was someone behind me.

"Boo" a voice came behind me and made me jump.

"Shh" I squealed as I grabbed the person and quickly hid behind the kitchen wall outside.

I realized that the person was Sana who was just chuckling at my serious face.

"Ah, so you've already fallen for Jeongyeon ah. I see" Sana smirked.

"Shut up, no I haven't" I exclaimed.

"Huhu, then how do you explain what I just saw" Sana kept teasing me.

'Istg if this snake won't shut up'

"Go away" I said annoyed and left.

"Aww Momo ya is flustered" Sana kept following me.

"I'm not"

"Yes you are"

"No"

"I'm gonna tell everyone" Sana said with her irritating smirk.

I immediately turned around and held her shoulders.

"Don't you dare" I threatened.

"Of course not. But then you have to confess that you like her" Sana chuckled teasingly.

I sighed and removed my arms from her.

"I just...."

"You just?"

"I just don't think she likes me back" I finally let out my feelings.

"What do you mean? Of course, she would, Jeongyeon is a playgirl" Sana pouted.

"My god, look who's talking"

"Sorry. Now continue" Sana said.

"I.....already confessed" I said and looked away.

I couldn't look at Sana anymore.

"Oh no, did you get rejected?"

"I don't know, she just answered in a weird way"

"Hmm, I think she's just nervous" Sana replied.

"Really? Do you think she loves me?" I asked her with a sanguine tone.

"Kyaaaaa, Momoring is in love" Sana screamed.

"Shut the fu-"

"Annyeong" Sana quickly ran away.

I took a deep breath to remind myself that Sana was just a gay pabo. I decided to just walk back to the others. When I reached our camping area, dinner was already served. I saw Jeongyeon laughing with Nayeon and having fun. I don't know why, but that kept bothering me. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Why did she suddenly go with Nayeon when she promised that she'll stay by my side.

I sat down beside Chaeyoung and started eating with them. Tonight was our last night here. Fall break was almost over. I took a bite of my jjigae while slightly glancing at Jeongyeon and Nayeon. My mind couldn't stop thinking of anything else than Jeongyeon. Did she already forget me? I'm probably worthless. I don't deserve her.

When we finished dinner, we decided to turn our campfire on since it was already getting darker. Everyone was having fun and talking. I stared deeply into the fire. The atmosphere gave me a feeling that I wanted to experience it with someone I liked. I wanted to just sit beside a special person and enjoy this feeling. This weird feeling called love.

"Alright everyone, let's have some fun" Jeongyeon said and took out a guitar.

I never knew she could play the guitar.

"I've made a song for someone special. I didn't really know how to apologize, so I've written this for you" Jeongyeon said with a low voice and looked at her guitar sadly.

Then she suddenly started singing while playing a beautiful song on her guitar. My heart felt broken. Why Jeongyeon ah? I really hope Nayeon makes you happier. I hope she makes you smile so you can forget me. Cause I'm meaningless. I wanted to run away, I wanted to escape. But Jeongyeon's sad tone tore my heart apart.

A tear escaped my eye.


"I hope you're happy, while my broken heart is not"
