XXIII: JEJU ISLAND

3rd Person POV

Time passed by so fast and it's already their school trip. Every class had their own buses. Which means, 2yeon and MiChaeng is not together.

"Wah~ I thought you're not coming. I'm right, you'll give up anyways." Jeongyeon said, head up.

"Yeah, that's because you said you won't talk to me unless I go." Chaeyoung rolled her eyes.

For two months, the eight of them (except Mina, who gave up because she don't want to make Chaeyoung upset just in case it will happen), tried their best to persuade Chaeyoung just to go to their school trip. Blackmail, set ups, pranks-- name it, they already did all of 'em. But from all those, only one blackmail worked-- which is Jeongyeon's plan: she won't talk to Chaeyoung if she won't come. Chaeyoung thought it's absurd and impossible, but when Jeongyeon already did that serious and scary face, she gave up and decided to go.

"Yah, you think I'm joking about that, huh? I'll really do it if you don't come!" Jeongyeon said as the two of them sat down on their seats.

Of course it's just a joke. She knows that she can't do it to her closest friend.

"Whatever. Let's just pray that I won't meet any of them here." Chaeyoung rested her head on her seat.

"But if I hadn't done that, Mina would be sad for sure." Jeongyeon also rested her head.

"Beach party, the nine of us, sneaking out in the middle of the night having a supposed to be--"

"What do you mean?" Chaeyoung cut her off.

"You know, me and Jihyo have a secret plan for the nine of us. Sneaking out in the middle of the night going on the seaside. We're going to sleep there then go back to our place before everyone wakes up." Jeongyeon whispered.

"What the hell? You should've told me that instead and I'd go without hesitating." Chaeyoung laughed.

"I would, but you already said you'll come before I'll even say it."

Jeongyeon's POV

"Yaaahh~ Chaeyoung-aaahhh, come with us~" Jihyo clung onto Chaeyoung's arms.

"No, Thomas. There's a big chance that I'd see mom and her new man there."

Aish. This baby cub is really hard to get. Tomorrow's the trip, we've been persuading her for TWO FUCKING MONTHS, AND YET SHE STILL WOULDN'T COME. Our plan shouldn't be messed up.

"Come on, guys. She wouldn't come. Just let her be." Mina said.

"Thank you, Mina." Chaeyoung smiled and Mina smiled back.

"Fine, then. You'll regret it soon because you didn't come." Jihyo separated herself on Chaeyoung.

I actually have my last resort so that she'll come, but it's too absurd! She'll literally won't believe it.

Whatever. I have no choice.

"Yah, Son Chaeyoung." I called out in such a serious voice.

"What now?"

"Come with us, or else..." I glared at her, like I'm about to eat her soul.

"I won't talk to you, UNTIL THE DAY WE DIE."

"Jeongyeon is scary. OML." Tzuyu fake shivered.

Chaeyoung just gave me the 'what-the-fuck?' face. I knew it. I know she'll think it's absurd.

I looked at Jihyo, asking her if I should just tell them about the plan, like we're talking using our brains--telepathy.

"Fuck. No." Jihyo mouthed.
