   The next morning came, bodies of tired students were everywhere laid on the floor of the warehouse. Aerin woke up by the irritation on her skin, feeling like its itching. She instantly flinch when she found out that it was Hendery's hair that has been poking onto her face, thinking of how close he is. She then felt like her palms were sweating under the pillow, putting it there like she always do when she's trying to sleep.

Another skin was brushing against her palm, so she took her hand out only to see another hand on hers. She knew it was him, throwing it away which made Hendery only rolled his body over to the empty space beside him when she pushed him away.

She tried to think back after they arrived in the warehouse helping others last night. Almost all of the students didnt use their tents indoors because it took most of the space in the warehouse and it was hard to make a path to walk by. The teachers helped with arranging their sleeping positions and places. Then, she remembered his annoying face came with his stuffs, sitting next to her before taking out his sleeping bag.

He wanted and always been clinging to her and that's what happened. She also didn't forget when he's being cheesy to hold her hand under her pillow when she had her back facing him. Saying things like, "Let's hold hands. I'll keep you warm." She swatted his hand away but it made him grip on it tighter.

"You do that again, imma pull you into a really tight hug you can barely breathe in." So she gave up, only to sleep with such position. Then the words he breathe into her ears before sleeping which only send chills through her whole body. "Dream of me."

She shrugged by the thoughts and started to pack up, also reminding herself that it was their last day of the trip. Once she finished folding her blanket, she sat straight and scanned the place to look for her friends.

She looked over a stretching Hendery who automatically smile every time he sees her. His hands lands back on the ground lazily. With the messy look he have, Aerin only stare at him like she always do. A clueless stare that doesnt know what the hell he's gonna do next. "Did you sleep well last night dreaming of me?"

She let out a sarcastic 'psh' sound as she look away, "You wish."

"Why so harsh in the morning?" Hendery frowned but Aerin only let out a sigh to leave before he trynna start his no ending flirt. She stood up immediately, not even looking back at him, "Anyways i'm gonna help others pack up and start my job, or else we're gonna be late."

He started to whine like a kid, pulling the hem of her hoodie, making her look back at him with a confused look. "No~ Stay with me here, im bored."

Even if she try to start a speech, this stubborn man never gets it. She sighed again as she cross her arms, "If youre gonna do nothing, at least help. Just straight to the point, Hendery. What you want- what are you trying to tell me?"

"What are they talking about actually? The fact that he's looking clingy right now makes me sick." A girl stood with her arms crossed on her big chest, staring at the two people from upstairs. "When can i get back on her?" She continued.

Her friend spoke with a smirk, "when it's the right time. On the last day. What do you say?"

"Marvelous, you two plan this for me. I don't want to make it obvious." She flipped her hair.

Hyosonn from afar stare at the both of them talking, Aerin's face were changing its expressions less than a second. "Is he up to something again?"

Sungji only nod as a respond while packing up her stuff but after seeing one of Aerin's familiar expression again made her join Hyosonn's little gossip in the morning. She look back at her."What do you think he said that made Aerin's iconic shook face come back?"
