"Why aren't you eating anything?" Taehyung asked.

"I just want some coffee." I said as I sat down on the table with a cup of hot coffee.

We were in the dining hall for breakfast. We'd reached the camp site at about seven in the evening the previous day. The bus we'd taken after the train had to stop, because on our way up to the campsite, there had been a huge ass tree on the road. The road was too narrow for the bus to go from the side. We'd also taken a lot of breaks because of which we'd reached in the evening. We didn't have anything scheduled for the evening though.

After reaching, the students had been divided into groups of four and sent to their respective huts. 10 pm was the sleeping time, so we'd had dinner at around 8:30 pm. I don't know how on earth but somehow, Taehyung had convinced Ms. Mijin to let him stay in the same hut with me. I feel like she thinks that we're cousins or something.

"We have a lot to do today. Have some proper breakfast." He said.

I don't know why but I wasn't hungry at all. However he was right, so I got up and fetched some cheese sandwiches.

"Okay, everyone, please pay attention. I'm Mark and I'll be your instructor for the trip. As soon as you're finished with your breakfast, I'll be telling you about our schedule for the next 8 days." Mark said. I'd already talked to Mark the previous night.

The students had their breakfast and were now seated in the dining hall facing Mark. He had a black board beside him as he explained the activities for the day. Today, we would be going for Bush craft, rock-climbing and rappelling.

All the students were divided into two teams for the activities and were told to choose their leaders and Team name.
The first group named themselves 'Team Fire flyers' and the second named themselves 'Team Stark'

A break for half an hour was given after breakfast for the students to pack their backpacks and get ready for the day. We didn't have to come back to the camp site between activities so we had to pack proper supplies.

After the given half an hour, everyone was ready outside the dining hall. Taehyung and I stood at the end of the crowd. Ms. Mijin had told us to take care at the back, to make sure that no student sneaked out of the group.

Taehyung and I were in different teams. He'd gone for Team Stark and I'd chosen Team Fire Flyers. The first activity of the day was bush craft.

For bush craft, all the team members were made to stand in a straight line and were tied to the same rope. The rope went went around the belly of the person ahead of you and then it stretched for a gap of five feet and the again went around you. The chain continued till the last person, so everyone was tied to the same rope. One of us makes a mistake and all of us go tumbling down.

We were walked to the obstacle course, all tied together. I was the last in the line.

"Okay, everyone!" Mark said and clapped to get everyone's attention.

"The course starts here. I'll be here leading the first person and telling him where to go and all of you have to follow. Remember if one of you slips or loses balance, then people around you are going to face the same thing. So, be careful while taking your steps. No pulling the rope or jumping around." He said from the front of the line.

"I will be noting down the time taken by your team and then it will be compared to the time taken by the other team. Whoever makes it in less time, wins. Everyone, ready?" He asked.

"Yes!" Everyone yelled back. I smiled. This felt so good. Coming to an adventure camp after such a long time feels so good.

"Remember, you don't have to run. Walk slowly, take cautious steps and complete the course. Alright, your time starts in, 1...2....3....GO!" He said and everyone moved.
