Jungwon woke up from his sleep and he noticed Niki who was sitting pensively in a corner there. Jungwon rubbed his eyes and sat down while looking at Niki with narrowed eyes.

"It's been a long time since you woke up?" Jungwon asked.

"I didn't sleep last night." Niki replied without looking at Jungwon's face.

"Why?"

"I keep thinking about Jiyoo." Niki sighed a little.

"Uh? Something happened to her?"

"I made her cry last night."

Jungwon opened his eyes wide. He looked at Niki. "What are you doing to her?"

"I hurt her... I--" Niki's reply made Jungwon go straight out of the tent and look for Jiyoo.

At that time, his eyes were fixed on Jiyoo, Lea and Yeji who were laughing while preparing breakfast.

"Jiyoo ..." Jungwon approached her and Jiyoo smiled at him.

"Morning Jungwon!" Jiyoo waved her hand warmly and Jungwon replied awkwardly.

"You okay?" Jungwon asked and Lea had already hit Jungwon's shoulder with a spatula in her hand.

"Can't you see Jiyoo is happy right now? Aigoo ... Move back! I want to cook spaghetti for us." Lea starts nagging and Jungwon rolls his eyes while squeaking a little. Jiyoo just laughed looking at them.

"Where's Niki?" Yeji asked while preparing a drink.

"Still in the tent." Jungwon replied while cupping his mouth as he yawned a little.

"Sunghoon asked for his help lifting some items for our activities later in the evening and I think you need to help them too." Yeji said and Jungwon nodded understandingly.

Then he walked back to the tent to call Niki. When the two of them walked together, Niki glanced at Jiyoo who was busy with Lea there.

He sees Jiyoo looking happy and that makes Niki feels guilty about yesterday's thing.

"Whatever the problem is between you and Jiyoo, I hope you two can solve it well and please don't hurt her, Niki-ahh ..." Jungwon said and Niki nodded slightly.

"We plan to play a rope rubber team match game. The way to play is simple. If one of them stepped on or touched the rubber while passing it, they would lost. So, are you all okay with this game?" Soobin from the Elite group asked for their opinion.

They all nodded in agreement and Soobin smiled. "Who started first?"

"Me!" Lea was the first to raise her hand excitedly. Jiyoo distances herself a bit from Lea as well as Jungwon out of embarrassment with Lea’s actions.

"I don't know her." Jiyoo said while looking at Jungwon.

"Same." Jungwon agrees and Lea starts to death glare at them.

Jiyoo and Jungwon laughed just like Niki.

"Alright. First Dope5 start your move with the first member which is Lea." Soobin said and they all clapped in support of her.

Lea confidently ran forward and prepared to jump to get past the rope rubber that already held by Dahyun and Hanbin.

"Kyahh!" Lea jumped high but unfortunately she tripped and fell forward.

"Oh demmit ..." Jungwon said while closing his eyes. Jiyoo wanted to approach Lea but Lea was already standing and grinning at them.

"I'm okay guys don't worry!" said Lea as she displayed a cheerful face as she held back the embarrassment and pain in her back at that moment.

"Lea out." said Soobin and Lea pouted then stood on the edge.

"Yeji your turn." Sunghoon said and Yeji kept running locally and jumped easily pass it.

Next followed by Sunghoon and Jungwon who were also able to pass it with proud faces.

Niki looked at Jiyoo. "You go first."

Jiyoo shook her head. "You."

He just followed Jiyoo's words and he kept jumping high in his own style. He passes.

"I hope you fall like me Jiyoo-ah!" Lea said teasingly and Jiyoo started cursing Lea in silence.

Jiyoo ran and before she reached three steps forward, she had already jumped and as a result her left leg tripped making her body lose its balance.

Niki who was right in front of her acted to catch Jiyoo's body into his arms. Niki did not have time to control his body and at the end they both finally fell into each other.

All of them gasped and the situation was quiet for a moment. Jiyoo hissed a little while Niki endured the pain in the part of his leg that had sprained a few weeks ago.

"Yahh are you guys okay?" Jungwon checked their condition and Jiyoo immediately got up from her position.

She saw Niki was in pain. Before Jiyoo could approach him, Jungwon and Sunghoon had already helped Niki to check on his condition.

"What happen?" Mr. Jung who noticed about it began to question anxiously. From a distance Jiyoo looked only with a guilty heart. Lea hugged Jiyoo's arm trying to calm her down.

"I didn't mean to do that..." Jiyoo said in a tone crying.

"I think your body was too heavy when it hit Niki's body earlier."

"Yah!" Jiyoo hit Lea's arm angrily when Lea managed to joke again in such a situation.

"How do you feel now? It's getting worse in your leg? Isn't your right leg healed a long time ago, right? Why? It hurts again?" Jungwon asked worriedly.

Niki laughed. "Jungwon ..."

"Huh? You don't feel anything on your feet or what? I need to call an ambulance?" once again Jungwon started to panic.

"It's just a cramp."

Immediately, Jungwon pulled Niki's hairs angrily.

"Yaish! You're just making me worried. Luckily there's nothing." Jungwon said and wanted to get out of the tent but was stopped by Niki.

"Where are you going?"

"Want to go out to pack outside and tell other members that you're okay."

"Can you help me?" Niki looked at Jungwon with a hopeful look.

"What is it?"

•••

Jiyoo stood outside Niki's tent carrying a first aid kit box in her hand. Jungwon says that Niki's condition is bad and she is told to treat Niki's leg because this is all because of her.

She took a deep breath before exhaling it out. In the meantime she only thinks of Niki's sick condition due to it. About last night, she forgot for a moment.

"Come in ..." Niki's voice was heard from inside. Jiyoo walked inside and saw Niki looking at her.

"Are you o-okay?" Jiyoo asked while looking at Niki's feet.

"I think my leg bones are cracked."

Jiyoo was shocked and quickly approached Niki. Her face was worried and she started removing the bandage from the first aid kit box.

"Which part hurts?"

"Here."

"Uh where--" Jiyoo was puzzled and she raised her head to look at Niki who was holding his chest where his heart was located there.

"Here ..." once again Niki pointed at his heart while smiling thinly at Jiyoo.

"My heart ached when I saw you cry yesterday and it all stemmed from me because I was the one who hurt your heart." Niki said in a deep tone.

Jiyoo sighed softly. "I got to go now."

"Lee Jiyoo."

Jiyoo's steps stopped when Niki held her wrist gently.

"Forgive me?" said Niki in a sincere tone.

"I forgive you and just forget about it after all I'm used to it." Jiyoo answered simply.

"Give me a chance to fix all this."

Jiyoo looked at Niki in frowned.

"I'm not sure how I feel when we're together. When you're happy it makes me happy too. But seeing you cry makes me feel hurt inside and I don't like to see you cry." Niki stared into Jiyoo's eyes for a long time while uttering all the words of his heart.

"Jiyoo-ah ... I like you too." Niki replied back to Jiyoo's confession after so long.

Jiyoo pushed Niki's hand away from her. "But you rejected me that day."

"Gosh I'm not rejected you because I still don't know how I feel about you, that's all." Niki said clearly.

"See? You still are not sure how you feel and I still do not necessarily want to believe you or not." Jiyoo said while Niki is silence.

"We need to give space and time for this. Don't worry, we're still friends as usual. Focus on our dream and carrier." after that Jiyoo kept coming out of there.

Niki sighed a little as he nodded his head.

That night they made a campfire and make around a large circle there. As soon as Mr. Kim finished picking up his guitar, they applauded the simple performance from Mr. Kim.

"So how are you guys feeling about this camp?" Mr. Jung asked, looking at their faces.

"Awesome!"

"Camping is fun and there are a lot of activities we do here."

"That's right. We can also create memories with other members."

"We will never forget this camping."

"Yeahh thank you for holding this camp for all of us, we really appreciate it."

Mr. Kim smiled happily. "It's good that way. I'm also happy that we're all here. You all worked together and well done."

"But soon you'll be back competing for the next mission so do the best, okay?" said Mr. Jung as well.

They all nodded and smiled. "We will!"

"Because this is the last night of you all, we're going to have a heart to heart session with each other. Tell us how you decided to follow this show. I'm sure some of you have the opposite story and a different path to get to this point. " Mr Kim said as he placed his guitar on the side of his seat.

"We start from Park Sunghoon first." said Mr. Jung and Sunghoon started to lift his blank face.

Then he smiled a little and was ready to tell his story.

"In the beginning, I was supposed to join as an trainee idol at Hybe company but on the instructions of other parties and my family, I also joined the NetG audition. It's because I to make this audition as my starting first to take a step to become a famous idol one day. "

Sunghoon said in a slightly lowered tone when he felt sad with his way of life as well as with the others. Jungwon who was next to him, gently patted Sunghoon's shoulder.

"I left two things that made me sad when entering this show. My family and my first love." Sunghoon smiled sweetly but still clearly his face turns sad.

"Who's your first love?" Niki asked and he glanced at Jiyoo for a moment.

"Ice skate." Sunghoon replied with a small laugh and they all laughed and understood the situation of Sunghoon who is really interested in ice skating.

"I hope your dream of becoming an idol will come true Sunghoon-shii ... Just believe in yourself." Mr. Jung said and Sunghoon bowed slightly to him.

"Thank you Mr Jung."

"Next, Jungwon."

Jungwon was silent for a moment as all eyes focused on him. He turned to Niki and Niki moved his mouth with a ‘you can do this’ to him.

"My decision to enter this show was not approved by my mom." Jungwon started his talk with a smile on his lips.

Their reactions were different when hearing the words from Jungwon. Jiyoo and Lea were already looking at their best friend with a sad look.

"But I will prove to my mom that I will make her proud of my success later." Jungwon smiled again but it was clear he was holding back the tears from falling.

"I just want my mom to know that ..." Jungwon stopped his sentence when the shadow of his mother's face played in his mind.

"I love you so much and I-I'm sorry mom ..." Jungwon continued his sentence and immediately he rubbed his eyes because of the tearful feeling that overwhelmed him.

Jiyoo who was next to Jungwon started holding Jungwon's hand to gives the spirit for him. Jiyoo smiled at him. "We're here for you Jungwon." she said making Jungwon smiled to her.
