sunghoon had accepted my dumb request for another match. by the time i was at my limit, chaos had already unfolded for the umpteenth time of the day. i was losing my mind.

"aha- you're about to fail." sunghoon lifts his weights again while my muscles were burning more than they should be. muscles, don't fail on me, please, i beg you.

i began to laugh along, clearly showing signs of more death. "hah, i did one more." i lift mine again, and actually letting my arms back down. ah, muscles are in pain. i don't think i should workout anymore, my muscles can't depend on losing nor winning.

i swear i'd rather just throw these sixteen kilograms of steel and metal at your face and you'll never have to see the daylights ever again, park sunghoon.

no, i can just throw them somewhere that isn't so vulnerable to him. "just give up, jake."

"stop trying to beat me!" i think i should just fling these at your kneecaps.

"you wanted to what with my kneecaps?" did i say that out loud?

"i-i-i-i was preaching about your knees! y-your knees look really smooth, like i'd want to touch them forever and admire them like how i admire toe fungus-"

"h-huh?"

"TOFU. I SAID TOFU." i stop doing my lifting. we look at each other, all hate, friendliness, brotherhood, and concerns of toe fungus all are in the presence of our eye contact.

...

caw, caw, caw...

"ONE, TWO, THREE. FOUR FJKHDHFSLJFKL AH-"

"FIVE. SIX." sunghoon does two more lifts when i actually place the weight on the ground physically. he quickly places his weights down and laughs at me in triumph, pointing at me in defeat.

"WAHAHA- I WON- AHAHA-" should i be concerned?

"hyungs! hyungs! the competition is going to start!" jungwon rushes over to us, a playful grin on his face. i coo. nobody could ever ignore a pretty boy like yang jungwon. nobody.

over at the pavilion, many of the campers were preparing for the competition. jay and daniel were in the middle of sharpening our cabin's knives, the sounds of metal scraping against each other proving that our cabin had teen chefs.

"hello, i-landers. you all will have three hours to make enough food for your teammates. there will be three courses: the main dish, the appetizer, and a meat dish." the entire pavilion gets loud with different food ideas. "additionally... the eggs you have received from the hikes can be used as power-ups." wait, free eggs?

mr. bang produces the same egg from our hiking trips. he breaks it in an instant. instead of egg yolk, confetti came out of the egg. he shakes off the smaller pieces of paper revealing a piece of folded paper. "this paper is a power-up. there are different types ranging from getting more food supplies to borrowing a team's member to assist in cooking. if your team would like to use a skill, please go up to one of the counselors to receive your pleads."

"how many eggs do we have?" we had 35 eggs in total. 35 eggs to crack open.

"jake and i can open the eggs, everyone else can help jay and daniel cook." sunghoon suggests.

"i want to join, too..." jungwon mumbles.

"hey, me too!" sunoo begs.

"the four of you can crack the eggs open and figure out what you guys want to do. remember, we're the cabin with the most advantage right now." heeseung orders.

"are we really at advantage? we have a 6-foot tall 14-year-old zygote playing with knives with a memelord."

"i can stab you right now, euijoo." daniel exclaims, smirking as he holds butter knives in both hands. jay stands besides daniel, his face telling he's done with euijoo's not-so-very dry humor.

"let's get going, guys." heeseung forces the three of them to all turn opposite directions. i pity heeseung, i hope i can treat him to some ramen soon to make up for braincell compensation.

"yes sir!" we all reply.

"hello." k pops out of nowhere, dragging heeseung with him. "you are needed in the kitchen."

with that being said, sunghoon, jungwon, that doofus sunoo, and sat at an empty table. near the abandoned bathrooms, away from all the other cabins in case they try to jump us for our eggs.

well, it was my idea that we be near the abandoned bathrooms. another wrong and dumb move by yours not truly, me. "jake, why exactly did you decide to pick this area out of all other tables?" sunghoon groans. jungwon sat next to me, sunghoon and sunoo across from us.

"y-yeah hyung, i don't really like this place, especially when seon hyung mentioned the ghosts." jungwon moved closer to me, clinging onto a small part of my flannel sleeve.

how many times do i have to say this? jungwon is so adorable, his tiny actions like a bunny are so attractive, cute, and mesmerizing... nothing about jungwon could ever be vicious.

"let's just start cracking eggs." sunghoon stands up from his seat and hits jungwon's head with the egg, confetti decorating the youngest's hair strands. sunoo begins to laugh and jungwon a little confused and a bit pained at the hardness of the egg.

"sunghoon hyung, that hurt..." jungwon pouts.

"jake, did you just... uwu?" sunghoon asks.

w-what...? no way did i bust an uwu out loud. that could never be possible. jungwon is extremely adorable without trying. well, it's not my fault he's naturally a cute person. ah, i'm not okay.

"how?" the back of my neck became warm in a matter of seconds.

"you were whining like this." sunoo attempts to imitate my actions.

"woah... i am amazed at your aegyo, sunoo." sunghoon gasps. he ruffles sunoo's hair, causing the strands to floof up and sunoo a whole new... sunoo. man, why does he have to look so handsome? me compared to him is like a rock next to a diamond.

i grab an egg and whack sunghoon's head with it, revealing the second power-up out of the 35. "jake, i swear- sunoo!" sunghoon groans in slight pain when sunoo had hit his head with an egg harder than i did. he grabs two eggs, aiming them at both of us ready to throw them into our faces.

"oh my gosh, sunghoon, you're bleeding!"
