Audrey POV
The next day…
“This is so amazing!” Hazel wiggled happily beside me. I nodded in agreement with a broad smile on my face.
We've been on this adventure since we left the Villa after breakfast.
And believe me, it's really exciting and fun!
At the moment, we were heading to Namil largest river.
“Audrey, look!” She pointed to something, and before I could ask what it was, she already ran off.
I chuckled softly before shaking my head sideways. “She behaves like a kid sometimes,” Ryan groused, crossing her hands beneath her breasts. “But I like her,” I said truthfully.
“Me too”
We continued our walk along the forest with other students.
It's pretty obvious everyone was enjoying the adventure. “Can I ask you a question?” Ryan said as she stopped walking. “Sure”
I also stopped walking and turned to her.
“Why aren't you talking to Kwan again?” She asked curiously, staring forward.
I followed her gaze and my eyes landed on Kwan, she's grinning really hard to whatever her boyfriend was saying to her.
I smiled wryly before taking my eyes away.
“She looks happy, isn't it?” I asked Ryan instead, she nodded with a shrug. “You're walking really slow girls, let's hurry” Hazel shouted ahead us. Ryan and I exchanged a short glance and smiled, before running to where she was standing.
“I'm exhausted” I said tiredly, immediately we approached Hazel. “Sorry babes”
“A teacher just announced that we are close to Namil river already, so I guess we'll be leaving afterwards” Hazel explained, but I could do was to nodded shortly.
“Or should I call upon Min jun?” She drawled, winking at me. Huh?
“Why?” I creased my eyebrows confused.
“To give you a piggyback ride, of course,” She squealed. I rolled my eyes before walking past her-she's sick.
“Hang on, Audrey”
I didn't stop, I hastened my steps instead.
Why does she have to mention his name?
“See who's talking to Min jun”I heard Ryan's voice behind me and I quickly halted my steps and turned backward.
He was standing a bit far from where we were, he was staring down at crazy Blondie as he watched her talk. What are they talking about? “Are those two friends already?” Ryan nudged my arm, gesturing her head towards their direction.
I blinked my eyes rapidly before turning to walk away. He was really listening to her?
I thought he said he doesn't talk to girls, either. Such a liar!
Jin POV.
“I'm sorry for bothering you, Min jun,” I began, itching my hair nervously.
“But I need your help” I told him, he just stared down at me like I was blabbering.
“Uhm mm… I want to make an art and I know you are the best artist who could help me with it,” I explained, shooting him my best smiles. “I'm sorry, but I can't help you with it,” He said dryly and walked away before I could say one more word. "Whoa, whoa”
“That guy would never change” Soo clicked her tongue in annoyance beside me.
I stared at Min jun back, feeling so great.
“You're smiling when he'd just snubbed you,” Soo huffed. “He didn't snub me,” I corrected, turning to face her. “Didn't you see how he was staring at me?” “He even said he was sorry, my Min jun has turned a new leaf,” I said ecstatically.
Soo rolled her eyes on me.
“Uh mm… I caught Audrey staring at you guys earlier, by the way,” Soo said, walking ahead.
I scoffed. “And how's that my business?”
“Min jun is mine alone, so she better watch it,” I said hoarsely, clenching my fist.
“Please give me another shot, Jin” Soo pleaded with her eyes, stretching out her phone to me. “How many more shot do want to take, Soo?” I rolled my eyes.
She adjusted her dress before moving close to the river again.
I took a few more shots of her and gave back her phone to her. “They're beautiful, Jin,” She said delightedly, after going through the pictures. I shook my head- such a snap freak.
Something gripped my attention from a short distance.
“Is that really Kwan with Seo yun?” I asked unsure. “Yeah”
“Whoa, is something going on between those two already?” I asked no one in particular as I watched Seo yun taking numerous snaps of her.
****
“Today was really fun filled,” Hazel said as she plonked herself tiredly into the bed.
“And I really enjoyed every bit of it,” Ryan added, untying her shoe laces.
I uncladed myself, picked my towel and headed towards the bathroom, without saying a word to them.
And yeah, I could feel their eyes on me as I walk into the bathroom.
Shortly, I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around my chest, dripping wet.
I walked to my bed and sat down, drying my hair with another towel wrapped around my head. “I'm going in next,” Hazel shouted after Ryan. “If you want, you can come in with me,” Ryan told her, and she grimaced.
"Is something bothering you, Audrey?” Hazel asked after she was done bathing.
“She has been like this since she saw Jin and Min jun together earlier today,” Ryan chipped in and offered a sweet smile.
“You're mistaken, Ryan,”
I shook my head negatively.
“Then what is it?” Hazel pressed on.
“Mood swings, I guess” I shrugged and they both shared a brief glance.
I lay on my back, with a heavy heart.
The image of Duffer and crazy Blondie has refused to leave my head since noon.
Are they really friends already?
Is she his girlfriend?
“Let's play a game!” Hazel's voice brought me back to life. I shut my eyes briefly.
“Come on sit up, Audrey,” She snapped her fingers at me. “I'm not interested,” I declined flatly, turning to the other side of the bed.
“No, Audrey”
“I don't like this atmosphere, so get up!” She commanded. “Audrey” Ryan pouts and I reluctantly sat up.
Their faces brightened up instantly.
“So, what's the game?” I asked, perfunctorily.
“It's a Truth or Dare game,” Hazel replied enthusiastically. “What game is that?” I twitched my lips.
“It's simple, we are going to ask one another some personal questions, and we have to be truthful, no lies” She explained, looking from my face to Ryan's face. “And if you are Dare to do something, you can't refuse it, you must do it” She continued.
“It's going to be fun,” Ryan smiled happily.
“No, I can't do this” I shook my head and made to lie down, but Ryan's voice stopped me. “Don't be a kill joy, Audrey,” She pouted like a child. I heaved a deep sigh. “Okay”
“You go first, Ryan, ask me any question” Hazel urged her, and she nodded, grinning.
“When did you have your first kiss?” Ryan threw the question at Hazel and my eyes popped up. What?
“Uhm mm… That was two years ago, when I clocked sixteen,” She answered like it's not a big deal. Oh, my…
“My turn” Hazel said and I grumbled.
“Who's your first love, Audrey?” Hazel asked, her eyes dazzling with enthusiasm.
"My mum," I replied simply. “Ugh!” She groaned. I arched my brows.
“Not that kind of love Audrey, I meant intimacy with a guy” She tutored. “None”
“None what?”
“I've never had none,” I lifted my shoulders.
She shot me a funny look before facing Ryan again.
“Enough of the Truth now,” Hazel said after some minutes of the irritating questions and answers game.
“Let's do the Dare now,” She smirked with mischief. I rolled my eyes.
“Audrey” She called.
“What, is it my turn?” I asked, pointing a finger to my chest. “Yes darling”
“So what's the Dare?” I asked, parking my hair up. They both glanced at each other.
“I Dare you to go tell Min jun you love him,” Ryan said, directly to my face.
I felt my heart hammered against my chest.
“What?” I sprang to my feet immediately.
“Are you out of your mind?” I bellowed.
“No, she's not,” Hazel defended.
“If you can't do that, then I have another one for you” Hazel said, and I felt calm a bit.
“Let me hear”
“I Dare you to slap Mr. An- the principal” She said and winked. My eyes bulged.
Oh, no…
Shoot me!
