"Okay, separate into your groups please." The professor yells and the students scatter around the site to meet up with the other people that they have to live with for two weeks.

"Now set up your territory, somewhere secluded and far away from the other groups. The point of this assignment is to try and work independently, you're already technically cheating by being in groups and having a ready made shelter waiting for you, but I don't want to be sued if someone dies or something."

The students end up rolling their eyes at the professor's overly dry humor and starts walking off with their group in different directions from the others.

"Be like Henry Thoreau!" They hear their professor say one last time as a last ditch effort to make this strictly educational, but the professor knew better than that. He's been teaching this same thing for much too long and if he didn't see at least one of what he was expecting, it'd come as a total surprise.

"Be like Henry Thoreau my ass." Yifan mumbles, "I've been in this class for what, four days? Who the actual fuck is Henry Thoreau?" He shoves his hands in the pocket of his sweatshirt and starts kicking around a pine cone.

There were five people in the group, including himself and only Namjoon spoke up, probably because he was the only one who actually knew about everything they'd learned in the class so far, including the guy Yifan already forgot the name of.

"Henry David Thoreau is one of the greatest poet, philosopher, and abolitionist of his time. The guy excluded himself from civilization to live in the forest, built a little shack for himself and everything." Namjoon says matter-of-factly making Jimin groan immediately.

"Enough of that Henry whatever, let's just find our stupid shack we have to live in for 2 fucking weeks." Jin grumbles as he starts walking ahead of the group with his backpack hanging from his shoulders and a sports bag hanging from the side.

Namjoon shrugs at how impatient Jin was being about this and tries to catch up with him, at least he tried before he was approached by an overly excited Hoseok.

Although Hoseok was visibly the only one excited, something about his aura was highly contagious in making Namjoon smile for no reason besides his crushes presence.

"I did this last year and it was actually so much fun, Namjoon! Don't worry, you'll have a blast and maybe you'll even make friends with people you've never imagined." He tells the boy as he pats his back and all Namjoon can do is blush for even being talked too by him.

The second Jin hears Hoseok's voice, he's already frowning. It's like he doesn't care or maybe even forgot what Jin told him at the party a few days ago. It wasn't a joke, he was 100%, completely serious about what he told Hoseok.

He disregarded it anyways though, because Jin knew that the second they arrive to their shack thing Hoseok wasn't allowed to stay with the group unless absolutely necessary.

It made Jin smile, a little too much, because Namjoon practically knew everything about this forest class, they were all lucky enough to be paired in the group with virtually the smartest one in the class. There was absolutely no reason for Hoseok to be around.

"Just keep walking until you see a huge stone and make a left." Hoseok stops as the others keep walking tiredly and Namjoon turns back to wave at him, "Thanks Hoseok hyung!"

After another two minutes or so had passed Yifan starts to notice that Yoongi was falling behind in their walk. He immediately swings his backpack over from his back to his chest and stops in front of the smaller boy.

"Shortcake," He says and Yoongi looks up from the earthy ground to find his friend smiling at him innocently.

Over beside him, was an annoyed Jimin.

He still doesn't know why he feels the way he does when Yifan calls Yoongi that nickname, perhaps he wants to be Yifan's "Shortcake"?

"Here," Yifan says gently as he crouches down in front of the younger boy, "I'll carry you the rest of the way. Don't want my lil' baby to pass out from exhaustion."

Yoongi gleams with joy, at these times, he was glad he had a best friend who cared enough to do small things like this for him.

However, as he was getting ready to hop onto Yifan's back, he was scooped up from behind. His face lightly squished into a very built chest and his nose intaking a scent he was very unfamiliar too.

Yoongi struggles with trying to move his face away from the persons chest, so he moves his gaze up only to find a perfect blonde boy with a perfectly chiseled jawline carrying him in a lowkey bridal style as he had a smirk etched onto his face.

"H-hey! What do y-you think you're doing? P-put me down." Yoongi stutters out, nearly as embarrassed than the time he had put on that god awful maids outfit, but that was a thing of the past.

Jimin readjusts Yoongi more comfortably and lets out a small chuckle, one that leaves goosebumps all over the underclassmen's skin, "No can do, Kitten."

Kitten? Yoongi thinks to himself, why was he blushing at such a cliché nickname, let alone from the guy he was supposed to be getting over instead of crushing over.

Jimin readjusts Yoongi again, but this time he was being held upright. His body pressed up against Jimin's, arms around his neck, and legs wrapped loosely around his waist. Yoongi rests his head upon Jimin's shoulder hesitantly and caught Yifan's immense gaze.

'I'm sorry.' Yoongi mouths and Yifan shoots a smile his way mouthing back an 'It's fine.' as he walked in close range with both Yoongi and Jimin.

After what seemed like an eternity, Namjoon's excited shriek causes everyone to become a little more alert, since they really hadn't been paying attention all that much.

"There it is, home sweet home."
