(Field Trip: Day 1)

I wake up to my alarm, the loud abrupt sound giving me a heart attack as I roll over and hurry to tap my phone screen to turn it off.

5:00 AM

I roll out of bed, freezing in my thin t-shirt and shorts I wore to sleep in. I shuffle over to the bathroom across from my room and turn on the shower, stripping before getting in.

The warm water runs down me, relaxing my body as I contemplate how my trip will go.

Today's Tuesday and we get back Friday night... four days with other art students and I even get to be with Taehyung since he's the teacher who's coming with us!

I scrub my body faster, suddenly feeling the excitement come back and replace my tiredness.

I get out and dry myself, throwing on a nice but comfy outfit.

I text Yuna hoping that she'd be on the trip too so I'd at least know someone to sit with

I text Yuna hoping that she'd be on the trip too so I'd at least know someone to sit with.

After receiving a response of "I'm sick so I couldn't go even though I was invited :(" I decide I'll just have to find someone to sit with once I get to school.

I leave a note saying bye to my brother and head out with my bags, getting into Jin's car and thanking him for giving me a ride.

"I have fantastic news." He immediately says.

I bite the banana I brought and motion for him to continue.

"Apparently someone got sick and couldn't go on the field trip so I got to take their spot." He says as a matter of fact.

"Ah! It was Yuna," I sigh but giggle, "poor girl I really hope she feels better soon but thank fuck you're coming on this trip. I would've gone crazy without someone I'm close with since I can get shy around people I don't know well."

He turns into the parking lot, just on time at 6:00 am for the bus.

"Shy? The first time I've heard of you being shy is when you tell me about being shy around Mr. Kim. Even if that isn't like you, I'd be shy too for someone as daddy as him." Jin laughs and we get out of the car.

He's right, I used to be the class clown always making people laugh and messing with Taehyung and now the tables have turned.

Taehyung gets to laugh as he makes me all nervous and shy.

We get on the bus and notice the back half is full of everyone's luggage, making less room for sitting.

I pack mine into a seat next to Jin's and we notice that being the last two on means not finding seats next to one another.
