"The winner for this year's ice skate duo pair is Park Sunghoon and Yun Hwayoung!" said the host while clapping his hands as well as the rest of the audience.

"Hwayoung we did it!" Sunghoon said happily then pulled Hwayoung's wrist to get medals and trophies for them.

After that, they took pictures together. Once again Jay felt his eyes so sore seeing them both. But he tried to refrain from showing noticeable ripples at that point.

As soon as the event was over, Sunghoon take Hwayoung to return to the backstage. Hwayoung who was smiling all the time started looking at Sunghoon.

She immediately hugged him before Sunghoon could say anything. Then, Hwayoung let go of her hug.

"I'm happy for our win! It's not in vain that we practiced before, is it?"

Sunghoon nodded and carved a sweet smile on her. "Me too."

"So why are we here? Let's go out to meet others." Hwayoung wanted to step but Sunghoon quickly stopped her.

"Hwayoung ..." Sunghoon called to her in a soft tone.

"Eumm?" Hwayoung faithfully looked at him while waiting for the next sentence.

"I know now is not the right time for me to said this to you but ..."

"But ...?"

Sunghoon stared deeply at Hwayoung's eyes. "I don't want to keep this feeling for too long because I know my rival is my own brother."

Hwayoung's heart started beating fast.

"I like you Yun Hwayoung." Sunghoon said in a low tone of voice.

"Sunghoon ... I appreciate your feelings for me." Hwayoung paused her sentence for a moment.

"Please give me time. I'm stuck with all this things." Hwayoung moved away a little from him.

"I understand. Just take the time you need and I'll still be waiting for you." Sunghoon concluded with a smile.

"Thank you." Hwayoung carved her small smile to him.

Three days later, Byeongho school held a camp for two days and 1 night organized by the school principal. Only 25 students attended the camp.

The mvp members will participate because they are regular students in this camp. Not to forget also Aera and Nellie force Hwayoung to join once and finally she agrees as well.

That morning, in a bus carrying 10 students began to take their respective seats.

"So there are only two seats in each row?" Hwayoung asked while looking at Aera and Nellie who were already sitting together.

"I saw an empty seat next to Jay." Nellie said slowly. Hwayoung rolled her eyes while shaking her head.

Her eyes were fixed on Sunoo who was sitting alone in the front row. Hwayoung kept approaching him.

"Hi Sunoo, can I sit here?"

"Sorry Hwayoung but Niki-"

Hwayoung continued to sit next to him without hearing Sunoo's verse. Niki, who had just entered, looked at her in surprise.

"Yow Niki, I think you should sit beside him." Hwayoung pointed her finger at Jay.

"Alright no worries." Niki replied while making peace with her and then took a seat next to Jay who was listening to the song with his headphones.

Soon after, their journey began.

They all arrived safely at 9 a.m. Mr Chan as the leader there began to instruct them to set up their respective tents according to the female and male students.

Upon completion, they relax by enjoying food prepared by teachers and other students.

"After this, you can all do your own activities. But remember not to wander far from this forest. Tonight we will have a game. Understand?" said Mr Chan and they all nodded understandingly.

Hwayoung, Aera and Nellie relax outside their tent while enjoying the air there.

"Hwayoung-ahh."

Hwayoung turned to Aera. "Hurm?"

"Why is Sunghoon looking at you here?" Aera said slowly.

Hwayoung was shocked. "Did he?"

"Jay too. I did notice the Park siblings were always looking at you. Is there anything going on between of you guys?" said Nellie too.

Hwayoung bit her lip. Don't know what to reply.

"Yea but I also noticed Heeseung looking at you. Not this time but the previous days as well. Something fishy ..." Aera looked at Nellie who was already grinning.

"Actually ... We're a couple."

Hwayoung and Aera gasped. "Since when?" Hwayoung asked.

"Last month ago, I guess?"

"How could you hide this from us." Aera pout her lips.

"Excuse me? You're the same as Jake."

Hwayoung looked at Aera in surprise. "What the ..."

"Lol no. Nothing happens between us. He's the only one bothering me." Aera replied calmly.

"So Hwayoung ... You don't have anything you want to tell us?" it was Hwayoung's turn to be questioned.

"Huh? No. Nothing. Guys, let's take a picture! There's a beautiful tree here hahahahaha!" Hwayoung got up from her seat and left Aera and Nellie who were still confused there.

That night, they all gathered to listen to instructions from Mr. Chan for activities carried out shortly.

"Tonight we will do an night walk activity according to the signboards provided around this forest. Before that, I will divide four students into one group." said Mr. Chan carefully.

"The first group is Jake, Heeseung, Nellie and Hayeon."

"The second group is Niki, Jungwon, Aera and Dahyun."

"The third group is Jay, Hwayoung, Sunghoon and Sunoo. Next ..." Mr Chan continued arranging the other student group members.

"Damn ..." Hwayoung murmured slowly. Sunghoon and Jay looked at each other before turning their eyes elsewhere. Sunoo always smiles when he hears his name mentioned.

They began to fit into their respective groups. After that, Mr. Chan gave them instructions.

"The rule in this game is stick to the team. Don't split up and always work together. Focus on the clues that are around you and be careful when carrying out missions. You guys can start now, goodluck."

The first situation is Jake's group. He was in the back row while Heeseung kept in front.

"Just stay with me, okay?" said Heeseung to Nellie.

Nellie nodded. "Okay Hee." she held tightly to the back of Heeseung's shirt while following his.

Jake who saw the scene made a strange face. "Since when did they look closed?" he muttered to himself.

"Did you talk something to me oppa?" Dahyun who was in front of him asked him.

"Nothing dear." Jake replied with a wink to her.

"Oop be careful Aera ..."

"Thanks Jungwon."

Jake looked towards Jungwon's group that was not far from him. It looks like Jungwon is helping Aera who almost fell earlier.

Soon after, once again Aera almost fell as her foot tripped over a rock in front of her. But Niki quickly stopped her.

"Ffuhh! Glad you saved me Niki."

"No problem."

Jake snorted a little. He reached for a tree branch next to him and was thrown forward to vent his agrily.

Without realize, the branch hit Heeseung's head.

"Arh!" Heeseung looked back while holding his head.

"Who threw it?" he asked while looking at Nellie and Dahyun. The two girls shook their heads in ignorance.

Heeseung stared at Jake.

"You?"

Jake shrugged.

"Does it feel hurt?" Nellie asked Heeseung with a worried face.

"Don't worry." Heeseung smiled at Nellie.

"Eherm! What was that?" Jake scolded them both but his question was simply ignored. Heeseung and Nellie resume their journey.

Dahyun looked at Jake. "Oppa, should we-"

"I'm not your oppa geez!" Jake kept walking forward.

In the situation of Hwayoung's group, she was always close by Sunoo's side. Not to let go of her grip on Sunoo's arm and that was noticed by Jay and Sunghoon in silence.

"Emm Sunoo ... You still haven't found the clue?" Hwayoung asked as her eyes darted around the forest.

"Not yet Hwayoung."

"I'm sorry because I'm holding your arm for now. I'm just a little scared." Hwayoung said slowly.

"You can hold mine." said Sunghoon as he stood by Hwayoung's side.

"Here, takes mine." Jay's turn was to stand on Hwayoung's right side by pushing Sunoo's body away from her.

Hwayoung was silent. She saw them both take turns. Sunghoon brushed Jay's hand away.

"Back off. You should stay in the back position."

"You don't deserve to be next to Hwayoung so move." said Jay not wanting to give up.

"I approached her first." Sunghoon said angrily.

"Do I care?" Jay asked lazily.

"Just go Jay." Sunghoon sighed heavily.

"Same goes to you brat."

"YAH!" Sunoo screamed a little louder.

"Hwayoung is mine full stop!" Sunoo kept pulling Hwayoung's hand to get close to him. They kept walking forward leaving Jay and Sunghoon.

"It's all because of you." Sunghoon roll his eyes.

"Shut up." Jay also returned the favor.

Prak! The sound of falling branches near them startled them and hugged each other. Moments later, Jay pushed Sunghoon's body away from him.

"What are you doing huh?" Jay cleaned his clothes as if disgusted with Sunghoon's hug earlier.

"You the one who hug me first." Sunghoon squeaked before walking forward while opening the flashlight on his phone.

"Yahh wait for me!" Jay ran to get Sunghoon who was already far away from him. They continued their journey all the way to the finish line.
