I opened the window to a marble in the face which I fired back futily.
"I see you copied my technique."
I smiled .

"Finally found something to do with them, so pointless."

"Yeah," I chuckled quietly.
"My parents are asleep so shhh!" I smiled.

"Oh, well , come on then!" He whispered as he started wriggling his way out the window and coming over to help me squeeze out of mine.
We walked through the dim lit campsite soaking in all the beauty. I stopped at almost every thing to snap a quick picture of the shadows cast by the bright moon on everything .
Tae sighed at everything.
We finally reached the outskirts of the camp and the tree. My mouth fell open as I seen the tree again. It was glowing bright pink as if it had elecricity in it.
"Wow." I gasped. Tae smiled like an excited child.
"Come on ! Lets go inside!" He beamed as he grabbed my hand as I had zoned out.
I was gently pulled through the fluffy cherry blossoms into the 'room'
Fireflies danced around the air flickering on and off creating the soft cherry blossoms to glow luminous pink.
My mouth fell open and my eyebrows dropped in amazement . I spun around slowly as I rook in everything . I took thousands of pictures before almost falling down in amazement . Tae sat down beside me as I looked at the pictures.
"UGH!" I sighed in frustration. "Cameras cannot capture images like eyes can, but eyes cant resee , why does it have to be unfair like this!?" I sighed as I rested my head back on the bark.

Tae shrugged .
"Maybe god didnt want us to use them."
I gave him a confused look.
"Maybe he wanted us to always live in the moment."
He looked up at me from the ground .
"Makes sense...." I whispered as I looked back at him.
"I feel like I could sit here forever, and just watch them fly ." I said as I reached out my hand to one.
It darted away quickly and I withdrew my hand .
"It's the best part of this whole camp! I come here every night to relax , I won't have much time to relax once this summer is over!"
I furrowed my brow at his words .
"Why? Why's that?"
He sighed . "Once again, I shouldn't be telling you this confidential information, but , the group I'm in, we're going to debut once the Summer  is over so this is kind of my last ever free summer holiday." He looked abit sad.
"Well,  if you don't want to why ware you debuting ? Can't you pull out?"
He looked really confused .
"What? This is a once in life time opportunity I can't give up now ! Besides , it's too late ."
I felt bad for him. I know that idols life's aren't ever easy, even if they aren't publicly big. I know about all the strict diets and guidelines they have to follow , how they rarely see their family and friends and rarely get married .
I pity them .
"Im sorry?" I hesistated . I didnt really know if he wanted me to be .
"I hope you enjoy this summer , I hope its the best summer you ever have!" I tried to comfort him, but I'm not very good at comforting people and I'm prettg sure I told him that entire sentence earlier.
"Will you help me have the best summer ?" He asked briskly as he looked at me .
I was abit taken back.
"This is going to be my last sumner with....a girl."
I blushed amd looked away. What was he implying? I only met him yesterday!
"As friends you know?"
My heart kind of sunk in dissapointment but at ths same time leapt in relief.
"Just hang out, go to ths beach , do whatever!"
I nodded and smiled .
"Yeah, yeah sure I'll help. You're an upgrade from my brothef anyway!"
We laughed, but its true. Tae can be my escaoe from my family .
We spent the whole night talking under the tree . I felt like I had known him my whole life .
I could already tell Tae was going to be the best thing on this whole holiday.

I guess I fell asleep.
