"Good morning kid," Gunwook's voice echoed through Yujin's room, waking him up. "Your alarm has been going off for the last ten minutes." Yujin rolled over to see him peeking his head in cautiously. 
"Sorry," He yawned, turning the alarm off quickly. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and rubbed his eye gently. 
"Everything okay?" Gunwook shuffled into the room more, looking at Yujin with a serious expression. "Even Taerae was awake before you." 
"Long day yesterday. It must have worn me out." Yujin shrugged, stretching his arms above his head. "I'm alright though." He grinned sleepily at Gunwook who seemed satisfied with his answer.
"I made breakfast again if you're hungry." Gunwook said before being pushed out of the way by Taerae. 
"Please eat. We have a long day and I don't want to deal with a near death experience again." Taerae had his hands on his hips, standing in the doorway. 
"Sir yes sir," Yujin mumbled, getting off the bed, shuffling over to nudge them out of his room.
"Was that attitude?" Taerae gasped, getting pushed out of the room. "I'm supposed to be taking care of you both. Give me respect, not attitude."
"Yep," Yujin nodded, now pushing Gunwook out of the room. 
"Who made that rule?" Gunwook questioned as the door was shut on both of them. He made sure he locked it so he could change clothes in peace. 


The military training course was ridiculous. In front of them were wooden walls, hurdles, tires placed in weird patterns and one huge wall to climb up. From then on there were places to step across with nowhere but the hard ground to land on. Ropes and adult-style monkey bars after that, too. 
"Oh this is impossible." Seunghwan mumbled from the back of the group. 
"No thank you," Woonggi announced, turning to leave the area. Park Hanbin stopped him, smiling. 
"I say we make Woonggi go first." He announced. Today, he was in charge of directing the mock military training. He had a devious grin as he directed Woonggi to where ZhangHao was handing out harnesses to everybody. Woonggi complained and whined but reluctantly put himself in the safety harness. Sung Hanbin stood at the top of the last rock climbing wall. At that point he would be ready to hook the safety rope onto the harnesses so they would have some comfort as they stepped across the wobbly section. It was just thin saucers with ropes that ran through them that connected to wood on the ground.
"Oh fantastic." Woonggi mumbled as he made his way to the start. 
"I thought we were doing it in teams." Yujin said to Park Hanbin who was standing next to him.
"We are but I kind of want to see what happens." He mumbled back, a grin on his face. 
"That's mean," Yujin frowned, watching as Woonggi mentally prepared himself to go alone. 
"Is it?" Hanbin asked, looking at the younger male. He decided to shut it down, walking over to Woonggi. 
"Good call," Seowon said from beside him, a pitying look on his face. "That was almost bullying."
"I'm sure he didn't mean it like that." Gyuvin said, arms crossed as he watched Hanbin bring Woonggi back to the group. Yujin remembered that they were roommates so of course he would defend him- not that he was in the wrong.
Everybody was grouped into teams of three to four depending on the number of roommates they had. The rules were pretty simple: work on a way to figure out how to safely finish the course by working together. Some called it team bonding while others called it torture. You could really tell who the introverts were.
