Four

You slam your bedroom door close with a loud THUD. Climbing into your bed covers, you take out the letter you received today and read it over and over. In disbelief of finding out who your partner is, you place the letter on your night stand.

After being dropped off by Jinsub, coming home and arguing with your parents about school and grades, you were at the point of wanting to scream and punch your pillow furiously. But more important things crossed your mind...

Maybe Jinsub is with someone else? Maybe it's just a coincidence? This is far out of anything that was expected during camp.

You turn off your night light and hide yourself under the warmth of your blankets, snuggling into your little rabbit that you've had since you were three.

You closed your eyes and let your mind drift away, but you were awoken by an image popping into your head, making you break out into a sweat.

You and Jinsub as summer camp partners, helping out with the kids, alone when there were meetings, doing projects together...

What if something happened between the two of you?

What if something was developing that you didn't want?

Gasping, you leaped for your window, unlocking the hatches and using every bit of your strength to open it.

You breathed in the fresh smell of the trees, the bright green grass, the smell of flowers blooming, all were signs that summer was approaching.

Instead of going back to bed, you crept down the stairs, mindful of the others that still remained asleep. You looked around and spotted Isaac's phone, surely it would be okay to borrow it for a few minutes right?

You needed to text someone, you were debating between several people:
Hyunuk
Sunghyun
Yeontae
Inpyo

You picked Hyunuk.

You haven't spoken to him in a long time. Ever since he moved areas, you lost connection. If you stole Isaac's phone a few months ago, Hyunuk would have already been on your contact list.

You dialled his number 4 different times. He never answered once. You felt so disquieted that you dialled his number once more for the 5th time in a row. Finally, a low-tired voice was heard over the phone.

Hyunuk: Mmm... Hello? Who is this? Isaac?
You: *Scoff* You don't recognize my voice?
Hyunuk: Yah! Y/N?
You: Now your on the right track. How you've been?
Hyunuk: I'm doing pretty well! Is something wrong? Why are you calling on Isaac's phone at 3am?
You: Oh I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hello
Hyunuk: It's been too long... Maybe this weekend we can meet up and hangout?
You: Yea! I'd love that
Hyunuk: Perfect. Tell your family and Isaac that I said hi
You: Will do
Hyunuk: Oh! And give them all a big hug from me!
You: Is that necessary?
Hyunuk: When is a hug not necessary?
You: Alright alright, I got your message
Hyunuk: Haha, see you then Y/N
You: Bye
Hyunuk: Oh and.. Goodnight!
You: Night...

You hang up with a sigh, placing Isaac's phone down on the table. You sulk, questioning yourself as to why you never expressed all your built up energy and stress.

You could always talk to Hyunuk, so why couldn't you now?

After hours of painful thoughts entering and exiting your brain, you dozed off on the sofa. A soft hand touched your cheek, looking up and seeing a blurry face, all you could make out was a smile.

A name that you never wanted to mention, escaped your drowsy mouth. "Jinsub...." You snapped out of your daze when someone aggressively pinched you on the side of your neck that would certainly leave a bruise. Looking up, you see Isaac staring at you in shock, his eyes staring right through you.

"Wow... I didn't know that you dream about Jinsub..."
"Why were you caressing my cheek?!?!"
"You don't like it when I wake you up suddenly, so mom said to awake you gently and carefully!"

You curl into a ball and lay back down, sticking your head under a small pillow. You couldn't believe what had happened, only seconds ago you were enjoying the touch of a hand on your cheek, and you whispered the name of your summer partner. Not to mention the worst part: Your brother witnessed everything, now he had something to go against you with if you ever ticked him off. Nothing could get any worse.

Actually, things did.

You were now resting in bed, a bucket by your bed, five boxes of tissues surrounding your tired body, and a tall glass of water sitting on your night stand. Glancing around the room, you moaned in distress.

After getting such little sleep over the past week and especially waking up early morning, you ended up catching a cold. You constantly sighed as there was nothing much you could do besides lay in your bed like a zombie.

Mom and dad told you to stay home. Isaac agreed too, he kept calling you "Snotty nose." Fun right?

Even though Isaac is like a toy that never breaks down, he is your brother. You'd rather hear his high pitch screaming than be all alone.

Your eyes slowly start to close, but re-open just as quick when you hear the doorbell going off. With a sigh, you manage your heavy and exhausted body as you head towards the stairs, going down step by step so you don't trip.

As your waddling down the stairs, the doorbell goes off again. You grumble in annoyance "People have zero patience..." When you Answer the door, you glare at the people that are standing on the front doorstep, with a box of candies and flowers.

Jiahn, Yeontae.

You smile gladly, yet it doesn't stay. Your glee quickly whips away when you see Sunghyun standing with them.

Oh lovely.

You pulled all three of them inside before shutting the front door to prevent a breeze from coming in.

Yeontae and Jiahn look at you, they seem concerned. Yeontae speaks smoothly, his hand making its way to your shoulder. "Ah.. Y/N! It's been awhile." His hand moves down to your waist, pulling you closer. You don't react, he was always a loveable person towards you. "You don't look well... Are you sick?"

Bingo.

You were at the edge of speaking when Sunghyun cut in and made a terrible joke which was more of an insult.
"Don't worry Yeontae, she always looks this miserable." You send lasers at him through your eyes before Jiahn walks over and pinches his ear.

"Be good Sunghyun"
"Ah.. Hyung that hurts!"

You stick your tongue out before turning back to Yeontae who is gradually holding out the box and flowers you saw from when they first came. You smile and gladly accept with a groggy "Thanks."

You take two steps towards the kitchen and loose your balance, Sunghyun is fast to slither his way out of Jiahn's grip and catch you in his arms.

He looks down at you with fierce eyes, this is the first time you actually see a bit of concern in his attitude when he asks if your okay. You nod casually and let yourself relax in his arms until you regain the strength to stand back up on your own two feet.

Jiahn rests his hands on his hips and Yeontae only smirks. You don't blame them for their mischievous reactions, the way Sunghyun caught you is in a slightly awkward and easily misunderstood position. Your hands were resting on his shoulder to keep yourself more secure.

He placed you back on your feet, your hands moved down to his chest as you kept yourself balanced and his hands rested on your waist. Before the two of you could separate, the door bust open.

Oh sweet cupcake. Things had to go from mild... To wild.

Thanks for the read! ❤️
