To See You Again [UWMA AU]

Chapter 4

Getting down from the bus, the members of the Mountain Club arrived at the camping site they will be staying in for the weekend.

This outing was organised since their first club meeting. The aim was to let everyone know each other doing different activities : camping was one of them as well as trailing in the forest and participating in a treetop adventure course. Needless to say, Dean's gang was really excited and were chatting happily.

The leaders made them assemble and separate all members so that they can set up their tent on their allotted slots. The camping was not privatised but there weren't many people either. October marked the end of the Camping season.

Randomly selected, each tent had four people arranged to sleep together, girls and boys in different sections of their site. His team having been quite efficient putting up the tent, Dean was now helping out others to do the same.

« Thanks Dean, that's so sweet of you to help. »

Dean smiled gingerly to the young woman who was tilting her body toward him. He quickly averted his sight when he saw that she was not very careful of her cleavage. The girl was trying to reach for his tan and sleeveless arm when, luckily for him, Amber called him out. After briefly excusing himself he joined his friend who offered to walk around.

« Sorry I interrupted. » Amber joked making Dean chuckle.

« One more minute and she would have forced me into the tent. »

« Such a shame ! »

Dean snorted at her irony. Amber was not what you would call tall but she was slender and had light brown short hair that she liked to have on the right side of her face. It allowed her to flaunt the colourful tattoo that she had on her left arm and which went further to the tip of her neck. Just as when they were in Uni', Dean saw their club mate greet and call up to her while they walked. Her friendly and sardonic personality made her easily likeable and she was getting popular in the whole campus. But she stayed unfazed and true to her friends and Dean was thankful for that.

Ruffling his dark hair, Dean took in the surrounding area and took a deep breath.

« Feels nice. »

« To get away from boobs ? » Amber was smirking, eying him so relaxed.

« Don't you belong to that frightening species ? » Dean retorted while faking to be choked stepping back as if she was going to jump on him. Amber rolled her eyes up.

« How come no one has ever gotten their hand on you ? I know for a fact that eyes are ogling you up !»

« Humph, if you mean groping me, and trying to get in my pants, plenty tried. Sometimes, if he seems interesting, it goes further than that. But it just never felt right. »

« Our little Flower boy is romantic much ? »

Dean could faintly hear a bit of sarcasm in Amber's tone but before they could keep on, they were hailed by Win and they went back to join the whole group for dinner.

The evening went on with games and boozes. Tom was restless, hopping from one place to another, joining a game and then leaving before the end, yelling that he was bored. Win tried to make him stay in place by blocking his head under his arm, but the younger one trashed around so much that the former ended up falling on a girl's lap making everyone hoot and whistle. The blond haired guy just smiled and proceeded to flirt with the girl who was furiously blushing. Without getting down.

Ji Su grinned at him, as they were sitting next to each other, on the grass. They were on the border of a lake in the neighbouring park. It was a lovely day with sunshine keeping them warm even though it was late autumn and the trees surrounding them had shed their red leaves on the floor.
