"Jake, can you please switch rooms with Ni-ki? He shares the rooms with Jay and Jungwon so you don't need to worry about anything. Moreover I think it'll be pretty awkward in this room with you here." Sunoo said as he courageously looked in others' eyes but he just looked cute. 
Jake glanced towards Sunghoon, who silently stood there, with curious and hopeful eyes. 
'Plan failed. He doesn't even want me here. Why didn't I think about the other rooms too ugh!' Jake thought to himself. 
Sunghoon sighed as he got no response but a stare from Jake, that made him feel something funny in his stomach, he didn't know why.
"Leave it, Sunoo. Ni-ki will manage. Moreover we aren't going to-" Sunghoon said as he was cut off. 
"Sure. I can switch rooms with Ni-ki." Jake smiled as he picked his bags up and made way towards the another room, leaving Sunoo and Sunghoon standing, shocked. 
----------------------------------------------------------
"Wow, we're in the same room?" Jay smiled as he looked at Ni-ki who half heartedly entered the room. 
Oh how much Ni-ki hated his smiles. He hated how Jay's face used to shine up as soon as he used to make an eye contact with him. He hated how that made him feel. He hated him, he definitely did. 
Ni-ki rolled his eyes, totally ignoring Jay and making way to his bed. The door opens and there comes Jungwon, instantly annoying Ni-ki. He didn't like Jungwon. 
"Ugh! How am I supposed to share room with you two!" He brushed his hair back as he opened the door, just to see a Jake standing there in shock. They opened the door at the same time, wow.
"Uh.. you can switch rooms with me." Jake looked over at Jay, who was equally shocked as the other two in the room. He sighed, looking at Ni-ki. 
"So are you going or....?" 
"I'M GOING! Thankyou Jake." Ni-ki smiled and took his luggage and went out of the room. This did hurt Jay though, for some reason, it made the older feel if he really annoyed Ni-ki. 
"Jake-" Jungwon was going to annoy Jake but was stopped. 
"Not now, Jungwon." Jake said as he sat on his bed. 
----------------------------------------------------------
It was dinner time already. Sunghoon was happy. But at the same time, he couldn't get the image of Jake glancing at him out of his head. Why did he look so hurt? It's his fault, without any purpose he just started this stupid rivalry with me. He thought, but just couldn't get that look out of his head. 
"UGH!" He shook his head as his friends looked at him, in shock. 
"W-what happened Hoon? Are you not feeling well? Do you need something?" Sunoo asked as he frowned. 
"No- I'm okay... Just some things on my mind." He mumbled as he took a bite of his food. 
Suddenly, the dining room is full of chatter and faint screams. 
"Here they come. We can't catch a break even here." Ni-ki sighed as he took a bite of his food. He kind of expected Jay to come over and flirt with him, but he didn't. Instead the boy just passed through their table to sit at another one. 
"They annoy me. Like why the fuck can't they tell the students to shut the fuck up and let us eat peacefully, right Ni-ki?" Sunoo mumbled as he ate. 
Ni-ki was looking at something, more like someone. Jay was flirting with some guy, all smiling and giggling. He was lost in his thoughts until Sunoo called him so he snapped out of it and mentally cursed himself. 
"What's wrong with you two today..." Sunoo shook his head and wondered as he took a sip of his hot chocolate. 
As much as Ni-ki was shook, Jake was too. He nudged Jay's arm after everyone left the table. 
"You're flirting? With another dude? What about-" 
"He doesn't seem to like me, I would rather waste my time with those who actually value me." 
Jake looked at him as he gave his best friend a look. 
"Did you think Ni-ki would just accept you even after knowing that you're a playboy?" Jake said as he scoffed. 
"If he had fell for me, I would've stopped this long ago. This flirting with others... he is different. I would never hurt Ni-ki, but he doesn't like me, so I want to move on from him now. I won't force him." Jay said as he got up and went to throw(?) his plate. 
----------------------------------------------------------
It was the time to sleep, but Sunghoon was feeling so overwhelmed by so many things in his head. It was too cold, but he was okay with it as long as he gets fresh air. Socializing with people the whole day is just so exhausting. He needed to get out or he could swear he'd go crazy.
He wore his padding jacket as he snuck out of his room, as he tucked Sunoo a little more inside the warm blanket. 
He finally took a breath as he felt ice cold air touch his cheeks. He could already feel his nose and cheekbones being red. He sighed as he closed his eyes, remembering every little thing that has happened to him in the last few months. 
"Wow, my life really sucks, doesn't it?" Sunghoon spoke to himself as he took a seat near the the blown-off campfire. 
"Can't sleep?" He flinched as he heard a very familiar voice as he shifted away from the boy who just took a near him.
"I can ask the same to you, Jungwon." He asked, ignoring the way the boy stares at him. 
"Yeah. Just too many thoughts." Jungwon said as he looked at the blown-off woods. 
"I'll be going now. Enjoy your time, I guess." Sunghoon stood up but was stopped by Jungwon, who held his wrist. 
"Stay.. please, Sunghoon. Can we talk, I have a lot to tell you."
