Sam

After setting my bag inside, I went for the evening call.

I didn't want a partner, I was good on my own.

Secretly wishing no one to notice my half-filled tent, I became the part of the crowd.

The air was a bit moist due to the crowd otherwise steady mildly cold breeze flowed in the now a darkening background.

"I didn't get anyone who didn't have a partner if someone was left out please come forward." The female teacher in the tracksuit called out and I stayed low.

"Okay now, we'll make groups through random pick up chits. And people will be given tasks. Pick the chit and report to your captain teacher. Hurry up the work needs to start." She kept a big box on the table motioning everyone to come forward and pick up.

"Are we supposed to work now, do I pay fees for this!" A girl spoke from between the crowd.

"I think it would be fun."Her friend responded.

"Tasks will change on a daily basis." The teacher shouted once again.

I waited till the way was clear and then walked to get my group.

I picked up the chit:'3' it said. Group 3 out of 4 groups.

I saw Hoseok and Taehyung standing with their chits so I joined them.

"Hey" I joyfully patted both of their backs making them turn in shock.

"Omo, you scared me" Hobi answered with a little color returning to strangely paled face.

"Hey!" Tae responded.

"Which group did you get?" Tae asked me.

"3, what about you two?" I opened the piece of paper once again and displaying it to them.

"4" Hobi pouted.

"1" Tae glanced at the surrounding trying to find his groupmates.

"Oh, Jungkook-aah," Tae mumbled when Jungkook came up and accompanied us.

"Yeah, which group did ya all get?" He asked at once while fidgeting with the paper.

Tae:1

Hobi:4

Me:3

"Oh, I'm with Sam." He hi-fived me and the other 2 people pouted.

"Let's wait for others." Hobi declared.

All of them gathered at the place in 5 minutes or so, being made into different groups. 'I'm in 3' Yoongi said meeting my eye and smiling. Was it just me or did he really look that happy?

Group 1 had Taehyung and Namjoon, Group 2 just had Seokjin alone which resulted in Jin pouting like a child, Group 3 with me, Jungkook and Yoongi; and Hoseok, Jimin in group 4.

Me, Yoongi, and Jungkook walked to the tent which said '3' and got our first task- doing nothing.  Group 2 was supposed to make food for the night today.

Tomorrow's lunch was our task and it was already decided who'll do what.

The people who weren't working on their task made bonfires and sat around them.

"The person who gets there first has to sing a song." A girl spoke out as the three of us reached one of the bonfires, the golden flames trying to get higher and higher between a group of people.

"You" she pointed out to Kook who was a step ahead of us.

"Me?" Kook nervously blushed while he sat around the fire trying to remember a song.

I and Yoongi sat side by side.

"Remember the way you made me feel. 

such young love but"  Jungkook started singing as everyone looked at the owner of the angelic voice.

I felt overwhelmed at the voice, my heart jumping up and down wondering around one person, the person who was sitting beside me. 

"Something in me knew that it was real

frozen in my head"

I sneak peeked at his composed figure, his face glowing due to the bonfire, showing another wave of unreadable expressions.

I felt a warm finger touching my little finger. I don't know who's hand moved. My hand slowly held his as I stared at the ground.

"Pictures I'm living through for now

trying to remember all the good times"

We sat like that for some time, strongly holding each other's hand, not thinking about letting go in anytime near. It felt just so right and good. The melodies changed for a while as I felt it in my heart.

'I'll always be there for you.' I wanted to say it but my voice left me, stuck somewhere in my throat.

"Hey, sing a song!" the melodies stopped abruptly and someone spoke.

I looked up and scanned for the next singer, they were all looking at me. A quick anxiousness filled me as they burned their gazes into me. 

I felt a squeeze on my hand which bought me back to reality as I turned and looked at the person, the anxiousness leaving bit by bit.

I took a breath and turned back to the flames.

"You're the light, you're the night" I started with a little voice.

"you're the color of my blood, you're the cure, you're the pain, you're the everything I wanna touch, never knew that it could mean so much, so much" 

My voice slowly got back at its old texture and I felt high at the lyrics.

"Love me like you do, la la love me like you do, like you do"  Everyone chanted, clapped and few of guys started dancing.

I got up too, pulling Yoongi by his hand and causing him to stand up.

"I've let you set the pace, cause I'm not thinking straight." 

We danced around the fire, a small smile playing on both of our lips, clapping, singing, and dancing.
