Chapter 10: Beginning Of The Chaos

"Hyung! Hurry up, will you? I haven't taken a bath yet!" Wonwoo irritatedly yelled from outside their room's bathroom.

"Wait a second! I'm almost done!" Jisoo yelled back from inside.

Wonwoo rolled his eyes. He's been waiting for almost fifteen minutes but Jisoo is still not going out. Jihoon and him usually took five minutes in taking a bath but Jisoo takes fifteen minutes or more.

He regretted letting the older take a bath first.

Just then, the door of the bathroom creaked open and let out Jisoo who's wiping his hair with his towel.

"I thought you'll never let me take a bath," Wonwoo said to Jisoo.

"You're exaggerating again. It didn't even took me half an hour," Jisoo snorted.

"We'll leave in thirty minutes, hyung! I also need to prepare, you know," the younger said and stomped his feet as he entered the bathroom.

Jisoo just pouted.

"Just let Wonwoo off today," Jihoon suddenly spoke. He's just lying down on his bed since he finished preparing himself, "He's grumpy."

Jisoo nodded and sat beside Jihoon, "Do you have any plans on when to tell about it to him?" Jisoo whispered.

Jihoon looked around before he sighed, "I'm afraid to tell him, hyung. I treasured our friendship more than anything. But..."

"You also love him," Jisoo finished what Jihoon was hesitating to tell, "But you have to tell him before he finds out from others."

"I know, hyung. I'm just waiting for the right time."

"And when is that?" Jisoo asked softly.

"When he found his own soulmate," Jihoon answered, looking away.

Jisoo just nodded understandinly as he fondly ruffled the younger's hair. They didn't talk about it anymore, afraid that Wonwoo might hear them.

A few minutes later, Wonwoo came out and saw that Jihoon and Jisoo had already finished preparing their and his things.

"We already prepared your things, Wonwoo-ah," Jisoo said to him.

He nodded, "Thanks hyung."

Jisoo was sad that Wonwoo isn't a bit enthusiastic of this trip because of one of their members. But he can't blame Soonyoung, and he will really not. The boy didn't do anything wrong and the teachers have no idea about their past relationship and so no one can be blamed.

The three of them went out of the dormitory and head towards the gymnasium where all the students from the twelfth and eleventh grade will gather to have a brief meeting of the rules and regulations about the trip.

Jisoo immediately saw Jeonghan with the chinese couple as they entered the gym. Jeonghan pointed at the seats they reserved for the three of them so they quickly went to their place.

"Where's Seungcheol hyung?" Wonwoo asked the moment he sat beside Jun.

They're friends already. When they had dinner last night, they exchanged numbers and he called Seungcheol when they got back to their respective rooms. He apologized once again and talked about some random things with Seungcheol.
