Chapter:24-People On Trip

(Eric POV)

"I thought this was the trip just for our friends😑."

"aa! usually we thought 🤔 that too. but... well😅... you know.

Things might not go according to plan sometimes."

"ok fine."

seriously, when you decide to make a plan and take a trip and just wanting your friends present there with you to chill out. you would only expect them to come along with you to be by your side enjoying the fun moment. you might not expect someone other than your friends to tag along with your group, right? bringing someone whom you are not familiar with feels kinda awkward. you might not feel comfortable around them. and weren't able to act freely so the other person might not feel weird around you. you pretend to have a good image around someone whom you are not familiar. maximum people do that to avoid misjudged. likewise, I also have expected that. having a vacation surrounded with friends only. I guess this was just a fantasy that has not to accomplish this time.

sometimes things might not go as Planned. sometimes there having changes in it or sometimes just opposite of what you have planned. likewise, who knows everyone in my friend tags their better half with themselves. seriously! if someone is single as hell, like single since birth... how would have he feels while looking at those love birds flirting with each other in front of him? I think people like me can better understand that. ha! who I would speak to, I will do the same if I have one. but despite me being jealous. bringing their girlfriends has an advantage too. At least Jasmine will not feel odd one out.

"It was unexpected but fine, no problem let them all join us in."

these were the words from the host(Mint) I can't do anything about that and don't want to say a single world f against that topic. After all, I would not want to argue about this to start a fight.

-------------------------

(Mint POV)

even though it's quite unexpected to see them bringing there better half I didn't say anything all. instead, I welcome them all. I was glad to see all happy. Han has managed to have a big van but still, the no. of people for a van excited. we friends all together counted as 8 people total + they're other than our friends we have 4 more female members. Han, Max and Kim have taken their girlfriends with them and Martin especially comes with her cousin sister. 😑 total of 12 people. but Jasmine will join us when we go camping. so 11 for now. it's ok. As soon as I knew the situation. I was about to call the manager to take one van too. but, Kim has stopped me for doing that. instead, he offers his van for us to travel. I think he predicted the situation before ahead.

"I don't think we all can fit inside of this van."

"I think that too, Martin. let me call my manager to arrange a van quickly then."

"wait! Mint you don't need to call. I have predicted that this might happens so I came along with my van instead."

"Wow, Kim you are quite a saver of the day."

"ah! Don't mention it. this a common thing you might also predict Han."

"Hmm, probably."

"everyone gets inside the van. we need to go."

we get inside the vans. the division was good enough for everyone to comfortably sit and be with the people they want to be.

probably their girlfriends or crush. Ya, I am talking about Jasmine and Freddie. they might sat side by side with each other if jasmine comes along. Han and Kim want to drive themselves so they didn't hire a driver for the trip.

so the positions were like in the first van Han was on the driver seat alongside with his girlfriend Cherry behind I, Martin and her cousin sister Pham who was paying a visit to Martin family this week. on the second van Kim was in the driver seat, alongside with his girlfriend ploysai in short "ploy" behind them sitting Max and his girlfriend Mimi. and at last the best friend Eric and Freddie. I know about Freddie but I don't know if Eric is seeking someone. I wish this guy also find someone soon.

weather was pretty good at that time I was happy to see everyone was enjoying the trip. driving along the roads and playing k-pop songs we were enjoying our precious movement together. until!! Han's girlfriend asked me.

"Hey Mint, I was curious about something, can I ask you that? are you seeing someone?"

I was like😐.. what should I say. I need to come out to an excuse. I.was think of an answer and I looked at Martin. he was looking me straight with his make comfort eyes which were telling me to go on and declare openly. I was thinking the same thing. but I was unable to disclose the truth. I was waiting for the correct timing. I thought that I should wait until. the correct moment. so I pass.

"well, I can't say I am not seeing someone. but... ah!

you will know soon."

"I didn't get it what do you mean. if you have a girlfriend then tell us already. or if you have any crush tell us we will help you."

"Cherry is telling the truth. we will help you achieve your goal."

"Yes, Then tell us who is it?"

"aa! about that, no comment!!!"

"ok, if you don't have faith in us, then I am also fine with that."

"No, I didn't mean that. instead, I was waiting for the right moment. when I tell I will announce to everyone at once. please wait until that."

"Fine then."

"Cherry don't be sad. Mint is just wanted to have the perfect moment to tell us all.

ah!

but if you desperately wanted to know. I can just say that his love interest may be nearer than you thought."

he winks at me to tease me. while looking at me from the review mirror. he knew all the way long who is that person I was seeing. ha! that's my friend for Ya.
