"Mark, it's too early for a meeting," Donghyuk says, eyes blinking around the rec room groggily. The eldest boy nods in understanding but doesn't say anything more; he knew that everyone would take the meeting seriously, seeing as he's never done one of these before.

Mark waits for everyone to get settled, taking a seat himself in the armchair in between Donghyuk and Renjun.

"Ok guys. Me and Renjun were talking last week, and we've decided to move camp." He pauses, letting the news sink in.

Jaemin shifts a bit, trying to get comfy with a half-asleep Jisung practically laying across him. "Where...?" His voice was soft, clearly still drowsy and in any other circumstance, the other boys would have cooed at his cute nature. A sleepy Nana was an adorable Nana.

"Jeju island. It's more self-sufficient there and we'll survive longer there than here with our stop-to-stop stores. We have a higher and better chance of living in Jeju than we ever will here."

Renjun butts in, adding to Mark's point. "Although it will be tough to get there, the land is more fertile and we'll be protected and safer if we're isolated," he states, the logic finally getting into everyone else's minds.

"What about transport?" Jeno raises a brow, his body leaned back into the sofa, arm slung around behind Jaemin's head.

Mark sits up a bit before talking. "Well, who here can drive a car?" Himself, Jeno, and Jaemin all raise their hands. "Ok. Can either of you drive a boat?" Both Jeno and Jaemin shake their heads, while Donghyuk and Chenle's eyes both glisten happily.

"We can." The tanned male turns to Mark. "I practically grew up in the water-"

"And I had the money to buy myself a boat," Chenle adds, making Renjun groan.

"Of course you did. You're a Zhong."

Chenle glares at the older boy. "The heck is your problem Ge? I have a wooden staff and I'm not afraid to use it on your dense little head-"

"Enough you two! I don't speak Chinese but your facial expressions are telling me nothing good will come out of arguing. Back to the matter at hand." Mark sighs once the two foreigners have calmed down and turns to Jaemin. "Jaem, do you need to stock up on medical supplies? I know you and Chenle went like last week or so, but we need extra of everything."

Jaemin nods. "Yeah, we don't know what's going to happen while we travel so the more supplies I have, the better." He says softly, fingers combing through a sleeping Jisung's hair and his neck laying against Jeno's arm. "Plus, depending on where we land, we don't know where the closest medical area or hospital will be."

Mark nods before turning to Donghyuk. "And what about you? We definitely need lots of food, but we also need to grab seedlings for veggies and such." He says, indicating that they'll be growing their own food on Jeju.

Donghyuk shrugs. "I mean, I don't really wanna starve."

"Ok." Mark clasps his hands together loudly, accidentally waking Jisung up from his sleep. The boy blinks to see all the older males looking at him, he stiffens anxiously and flips himself around, burying his face into Jaemin's stomach. Mark makes eye contact with the honey-haired teen, who only shrugs in response. "Alright, we'll spend the next 2 or 3 days getting all final supplies for the travel. We'll get containers to store things and we'll start our trip on..." He looks across the room to the makeshift calendar on the wall. "Saturday, so the 26th. Sound good to everyone?" The boys all nod. "Ok, good. You all go back to bed and we can start gathering supplies later this afternoon. We can split into teams as well. It's still early in the morning, so go get some more sleep."

Jaemin stands, and with the help of Jeno, carries Jisung back to the 16-year-old's room. Renjun sends a final annoyed glare at Chenle, muttering a "my IQ is much higher than your body count Chenle."

"Oh fuck of Huang." The green-haired boy rolls his eyes and leaves the room, most likely going to sleep with Jisung in the boy's bed.

Mark sighs, rubbing his face tiredly, earning a worried look from the tanned male beside him.

"Come on Mark, let's get you to sleep." He stands and adds "I'm not taking 'no' for an answer hyung." before Mark can protest.

He drags the Canadian to his bedroom, letting the boy flop onto the bed. Donghyuk shuts off the lights and gently closes the door before heading back to his own room. He should probably be making breakfast, but he was honestly too tired to care at this point. All he wanted was his sleep.
