"Do you guys know where Jungwon is?" Eunji forcefully sat down, startling both Youngmin and Sunghoon who were busy eating their lunch.

"You are up?" Sunghoon wiped his mouth with a tissue, greeting her with a smile.

"You slept like a bear. I didn't want to wake you up." Youngmin continued, smiling as well, "It's lunch time by the way. Sit down and-"

"Where's Jungwon?" Eunji repeated, looking around again, "I can't find him anywhere."

"Is he the first thing you think of when you wake up or why are you so worked up?" Sunghoon laughed, shrugging, "Someone said he went to the forest because he forgot something."

"Sunghoon asked Jungwon if he needed company, but he was straight up rejected." Youngmin smirked, teasing the boy next to her, as he pouted, trying to shut her up, "But yeah. He did go back. It hasn't been long, I'm sure you will catch up with him if you are fast enough."

"Alright, thanks." Eunji nodded gratefully before eating a big spoonful of her friend's meal, ignoring Youngmin's shocked gasp as she ran off.

"Hey! You can't just come here and steal my food like that!"
Eunji heard Youngmin say, but soon she was already too far away.

Catch up? Not in a million years.
The girl knew that Jungwon was using his extra speed to dash through the forest, making sure that no one could ever reach him.

But why did he go back to the forest?

Eunji frowned and couldn't stop worrying. There was no reason for him to return.

And she was a 100% sure that "forgetting something" was just a poor excuse of the boy.

Was he avoiding her? Eunji couldn't help but sigh in despair. There was so much she wanted to tell him.
From "I like you" and "I'll always be by your side, no matter what", there was everything.

So where did he go?

Eunji couldn't wait anymore. Knowing herself, she wouldn't have the courage ever again, if she didn't tell him her feelings now,
It was the last day of their class trip after all.

It was now or never.
"Where did he go...?" Eunji cursed at every piece of branch that was brushing past her injured leg as she looked around for the nth time.

Unconsciously, she was walking the same trail she and Jungwon took when they were having a late night walk to the lake. It was as if it was engraved in her brain.

Eunji could hardly believe her luck when she saw his calm frame, leaning against a tree with his back in silence as he watched the birds and rabbits take turns drinking off the gigantic lake.

She waited, not wanting to disturb his peace.
Not meaning to be creepy, she eventually decided to approach him when suddenly a strong wave of coldness caused her body to freeze in its tracks.

She couldn't control a single part of her body except for her eyes which would shift towards a discomforting presence not far from her.

What's happening to me?! She felt tears gathering in her eyes. Seriously how many times was she going to cry during this trip?
