twenty-five

"how 'bout we just make junhui-hyung sit at the roof of the car then?" says chan. the group continued to discuss at the cafeteria during lunch-for the start of their semester break was tomorrow, so they had to plan their trip all throughout today.

hansol was in-charge (again) of their trip. so they were going to a camp-like place insets of the lodging house they rented-since his uncle said it was unavailable at the moment. and there they were, arguing over the seating arrangement at the car. "how 'bout we leave chan instead, yeah?" junhui rebuts-earning a smack on the shoulder from the younger.

"whos gonna drive by the way?"

"me of course." jeonghan said, slouching. "no not you, hyung. youd definitely crash us into an iceberg like in the titanic movie. or-or make the car jump off a cliff while you put your sunnies on watching the explosion." seungkwan speaks-delusional, yet may happen, too. who knows? its yoon jeonghan.

jeonghan imminently straightened up, widening his eyes on the younger with a weirded look at what he was saying-and seungkwan sticking his tongue out in return. "me? pfft. junhui would be the one who would do that. im practically a professional-"

"me? hell no. says the boy who almost made the car tip over at a zigzag roadway just because of forgetting his charger on the middle of the trip." junhui replies, eyes full with sarcasm.

"i think that was jisoo-"

"still the same." he shrugs. "anyways. so jeonghan-hyung will drive. seokmin and soonyoung-hyung will be at the first row of the car along with me. since you cant put seungkwan with seokmin-hyung and neither soonyoung-hyung with seungkwan because thats-chaos."

"whats the difference of putting seokmin-hyung with soonyoung-hyung then." seungkwan asks. "less chaos." hansol said-giving a sharp look to the other. "oh."

"moving on! jihoon and jisoo-hyung will be at the second row with seungkwan. because you also cant leave seungkwan and jihoon-hyung alone, or theyll end up having a diss rap or scratching each other. so jisoo-hyung will be there to-pray over them if something does happen." hansol continued-with a finger-gun from jisoo. "pfft. please, we're not that bad." seungkwan rolled eyes.

"oh really? whats up with the audacity of telling that, when you totally messed the shit out of my studio." jihoon said. "it wasnt me i told you!"

"see? youre just both proving that we really cant leave you two alone. its war. and again, moving on-! chan would be at the same row as seungkwan, jisoo, and jihoon-hyung-but with a solo seat."

"hell yeah!" chan yelled.

"minghao, junhui, and mingyu-hyung will be seated at the far back. and lastly, wonwoo-hyung will be seated at the passenger seat next to jeonghan-hyung at the front."

jeonghan and wonwoo exchanged hi-fives, mingyu face-palmed himself-for he was sirting with the china line, and youll never know what madness can happen between the two. "so, we're all set for the car arrangement, yeah?"

they all replied to hansol with 'yep!', 'oh yes', and 'mhm!''s. "good! now the next thing is-"

"fuck. oh fuck no!"

"s-seungkwan is there something wrong?" hansol asked the boy beside him-for making the group jump at his sudden statement while looking at his phone. "i-cant join the trip. theres a sudden emergency at home and i need to go back to jeju with mom there. im really really sorry."

"aw i see. its okay. dont worry, we can manage-i mean, take care of your family business first, okay?" hansol comforted the boy who was nearing to tears of the unexpected news. "t-thanks, sol." he looked up to the boy-giving him a warm embrace. the group watched the two friends comfort each other.

yet jeonghan's mind was again full with mischief-for he smirked derisively at the two. though, junhui elbowed the older, knowing what he was thinking-and jeonghan countered with an 'ow' instead.

"alright alright. lets clean up. lunch is gonna end in a while."

at jeonghan's call, the boys started to finish up their loaded trays that was now emptied. they packed their stuff, and headed out of the cafeteria just in time. "oh by the way, what time will we leave tomorrow?" mingyu asked, before they all head back to their rspective rooms. "hm. i looked it up a while ago, and it said that the trip is about 1.5 hours long or so. so i guess we can leave at 12:30 at the afternoon?" junhui answered-yearning for the boys' opinion.

"yep! 12:30 in the afternoon will be just fine."

"okay! see y'all tomorrow then." mingyu said, heading back quicker than the others. "come on come on we'll be late." jihoon rushes soonyoung and junhui who were still rattling about whats tougher-the cat, or the tiger. and as expected, jeonghan was the left one again, putting on a rad grin as always. we can tell that he is obviously the most excited one for the trip.

"arent you going, hannie?" jisoo asks the boy who wandered his eyes. "oh yeah im coming."

"im quite excited for the trip, to be honest."

"mhm. me too. maybe because its the first time again since ive hung out with the boys after a while. and i dont wanna fuck up again-losing them."

"of course you wont. i believe in you." jisoo replied to the boy's doubting admiration. "okay. ill just do my best to make this trip memorable for all, i guess." he responded. continuing-

"because the fun-had just begun."
