Chapter 8

On the next day, the students who are involved with the camping gathered on the varsity field. Lia was talking with Liyli while waiting for the student council members to arrive to give some briefing. She was so glad that Liyli is here, if not, she don't know who she's gonna talk with.

"Yah, aren't you excited?" asked Liyli as she took a selfie. "It's your first time joining in the university activities for the mid semester break!" added Liyli feeling happy that finally her friend tried something new in her senior year.

"Yeah… Excited~" said Lia. But her eyes were wandering around the field looking for someone and it was Dan. While she was looking around for him, suddenly she heard a squealing from the girls not too far from her. It was Dan, the President of Student Council, Haneul University. He dressed up, he dressed up in a white t-shirt, and mustard coloured outwear and black jeans with black Nike shoes. Indeed, he's an Ulzzang. Lia literally smiled seeing him walking with his friends.

"Oh my god, he is so handsome!" squealed Liyli as she shook Lia's arms feeling excited.

Then, the student council members starts the briefing for the students.

"Alright, we have two buses here and your name has been listed down and we have pinned up your name list on the board over there so please proceed to the bus that you've been assigned to." Said Haru who was the one that in charge with the transportation. Then, he gives some space to Dan to continue with the briefing. He saw Lia was standing down there next to Liyli and smiled at her. The other girls start to squeal again as he some sort of an idol and thought he was smiling at them. Instead, he was smiling at Lia. And Lia too, literally smiled seeing him.

"I believe that all of you are excited so please be careful and we have a lot of activities prepared for all of you at the camping sites later, so have a nice ride and let's have some fun!" shouted Dan and so did the other students.

Then, after the briefing ended, all of the students went to the board to have a look on the name list to know which bus they had to be in. Some students were not satisfied because they had to be separated with their friends, but some students were jumping in glee. Meanwhile, as for Lia and Liyli, luck was not on their side, and they had to be separated.

"Awwww we can't sit together~" pouted Liyli

"That's okay… go to the other bus… we can still meet at the camping site later~" said Lia.

Truth to be told, Lia was sad too. Because she had no friends to talk with. The only person that she talked with is only Liyli. And also Dan. But she doesn't know which bus Dan will get on to as his name was not on the list. As she bid a goodbye to Liyli, Lia walked to the second bus feeling sad while carrying her backpack. Then, she heard a familiar voice giving directions to the other student council members and it was Dan.

"You can get on the first bus… let me take this bus and also make sure the foods and beverages are packed before we go." Said Dan to Dong Hoon. After Dong Hoon left, Dan was looking at the name list for those who will ride the second bus, then, he saw Lia's name on the list.

"Han Lia… oh, Lia?" muttered Dan alone and he starts looking for her. While he was looking around, he saw a familiar figure were standing not too far from her and it was Lia.

"Lia-ah~" called Dan and Lia walked near him.

"Hi! I'm in this bus… so which bus are you in?" asked Lia

"This too…" answered Dan and Lia feels glad that she was not alone in this bus.

"You can get on the bus first and I'll settle this… save a seat for me, alright?" asked Dan with a smile and Lia nodded. Then, she get on the bus first and choose a seat at the back next to the window waiting for Dan. After most ever students have filled the bus and took their seats, Dan was nowhere to be seen. Then, came one of the boys and was about to sit next to Lia, but before Lia could say something, Dan stopped him.

"Sorry bro, that's my seat." Said Dan

"Oh, sorry Dan." Said the boy and he took the seat at the last seat of the bus, while Dan sat next to Lia.

"Sorry I'm late, I gave some briefing the student council members just now…" said Dan as he adjusts his seat in a comfortable position.

"No worries~" beamed Lia.

Then, a few minutes later, the bus starts moving and the students began to cheer. And Lia too, she smiled while revealing her teeth feeling so excited to go for a camping. *At least once in a while trying new things, isn't that bad, right?* thought Lia.

"We might arrive there after lunch…have you had your breakfast yet?" asked Dan

"Yeah I did… I went to have some breakfast with Liyli just now and also…." Said Lia as she took out something from her bag. It was a container that is filled with fruits. Such as melons that she had cut into small pieces, few green grapes, and oranges. "If we're hungry, we can eat this for a while or eat something at the rest stop area~" said Lia "do you want some?" asked Lia offers Dan some melons as she pokes the melon using the small stick and gave it to Dan.

Without hesitation, Dan took her hands and feed the fruits into his mouth. The situation is like Lia was feeding him the fruits. Without they know, some of the students saw them and starts to cheer for them. "Woahhh I didn't know our Mr. President has a girl~" teased one of the boys.

Meanwhile, In Ha who was sitting in front near the bus driver was feeling with all the teasing they had between Dan and Lia. "Ahjussi, can you drive faster please?" said In Ha but the bus driver ignored her as the students were too loud. *urghh I better go and sleep* thought In Ha as she put on her earphone and sleep while listening to music. While Lia at the back was feeling very shy about it. And Dan knows that she hates the attention.

"Okay okay. Just leave us alone alright." Said Dan trying to calm them down, knowing that Lia was feeling very uncomfortable. "Thank you" mouthed Lia to Dan. A few minutes later, the teasing had calmed down, Lia noticed that Dan took out his earphone and gave her the left earphone.

"Here, let's hear the song together~" said Dan.

Lia smiled as she took the earphone and put it in her ear. "Alright." Said Lia

Then, Dan begins to play the song on his playlist. It was one of Lia's favourite songs at the moment too. James Arthur – Avalanche.

"It's my favourite song…" smiled Lia while listening to it.

"Glad you like it." Said Dan and he too, smiled looking at Lia. Both of them were listening to the songs together for a while and Dan noticed that Lia's head was dropping down till she almost kissed her knees. Dan chuckled, seeing how cute she is. Then, he took her head gently and place it on his shoulder and noticed that Lia was comfortable with it. *beautiful* thought Dan as he caressed her hair gently.

Her hair is soft like a silk, and her long eyelashes make her look so beautiful to him. Like an angel. With that, both of them fell into the slumber till they reached the camping site.

"Alright everyone, each tent can fit three people. You may choose your own tent and your own friends. We meet up at the pool to prepare for dinner together… we're having a barbeque later, so unpack your things and change your clothes and let's meet 2 hours later." Said Haru and the students' starts moving, choosing their own roommate and which tent they want.

"Yah, let's go to that tent!" said Liyli pointing to a tent that is located not too far from the barbeque area.

"Let's go~" said Lia and both of them walked to the tent together.

The tent was so big and spacious. The bed has been set up, tables and many other essential things have been prepared.

"Wahhhh" amazed Lilyli happily while Lia chose a bed at the end of the tent and looked around the tent.

*this is amazing* thought Lia feeling amazed as this is her first time been to glamping with friends. While both of them starts unpacking their belongings, a familiar figure entered their tent and it was In Ha.

"Aishh just when I thought this tent is empty, I see two annoying faces in this tent." Said In Ha as she rolled her eyes and choose the leftover bed. "Yah, if you're so annoyed with us then why chose this tent?" asked Liyli in furious. In Ha walked to them with crossed arms, "don't I have the right to choose my own tent too?" asked In Ha in annoyed. Lilyli was about to say something, but got stopped by Lia. "Just let her be… she won't disturb us." Said Lia loud enough for Lilyli to hear.

***

Two hours later, as what Haru said, they had started preparing barbeque for their dinner. The best part of this camping site is that they have a hot spring pool. Some of them were playing in the pool, while some of them were preparing the barbeque. Both Lia and Liyli came out from the tent right after they've changed the attire for the barbeque later.

"Yah, let's go to the hot spring pool!" suggested Lilyli but Lia refused to. Not because she doesn't know how to swim, but they're just too many people. She doesn't really like crowds. "It's okay Liyli… I just wanna sit on that chair I gotta update a new chapter~" said Lia as she showed Liyli her laptop.

"Awwww okay then…" pouted Liyli and went the pool leaving Lia alone. Meanwhile, Lia walked to the chair and take her seat. She saw Liyli was playing with her classmates in the pool. She is so easy going and Lia wanted to be like her but she can't. She has no confidence in talking to people that she has never met before. Then, she turned on her laptop, and starts brainstorming for her new chapter.

As for Dan, he just came out of the tent holding his camera and was about to help Donghoon and his other friends preparing the barbeque. "Yah, do we have enough food for today?" asked Dan as he saw the packed foods that will be cooked later. "I guess… don't worry~" answered Haru. "Do we have any games that we're gonna play tonight?" asked Haneul as she just came back, rinsing the vegetables at the kitchen that has been prepared by the site. "Nope. It's a leisure glamping… you guys can do anything~" answered Dan as he organizing the beverages on the tables so that it will be easy for the other students to pick it up if they are thirsty.

While he was organizing the beverages, he noticed that Lia was sitting alone in a small tent that is located not too far by the pool. Right after he finished organizing the bottle, he took his camera walked towards her.

"What are you doing?" asked Dan as he took a sit on a chair in front of her.

Lia, who was too focused on writing, was startled by his sudden greeting.

"Dan~" said Lia with a smiled and paused on her writing.

"Why aren't you with your friend? I noticed she was at the hot spring pool~" said Dan

"Oh, I need to write new chapter for my story… plus, it's too crowded at the pool… not very fond of it~" answered Lia as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. She looked beautiful. Without noticing, Dan took his camera and captured a candid photo of her.

"Hey, you took my photo again…" pouted Lia "I bet I looked ugly in it, like last time~" added Lia and Dan chuckled.

"Why do you always said you looked ugly? If you're ugly, I would never captured a photo of you~" said Dan as he looked at her making Lia blushed.

"L-let me see the photo and judge it." Said Lia and Dan gave her the camera. In the photo, Lia saw that she wasn't even looking at the photo, instead, she was looking down at the laptop. "Then can you tell me the meaning of this photo?" asked Lia as she remembered that Dan told her every photo that he took has its own meaning.

"This one…" said Dan as he tapped his chin, while thinking. "A photo of a girl who was about to mad at me for capturing a photo of her. See, she even refused to look at me~" teased Dan as he pointed at Lia's face was looking at the laptop.

"Yah, stop teasing me, will you?" said Lia and found that it was too silly and laughed with Dan too. Without both of them noticing, In Ha was watching them in jealousy from her tent and one more person, was looking at them from the hot spring pool in furious.

"Come on, turn off your laptop for a while, I'll take some photos for you." Said Dan as he stands up. "Are you serious?" asked Lia and Dan nodded.

"Come on~" said Dan as he saved her story, shut down her laptop and gave it to Lia. Then, he took her other hand and brought her at the back of the barbeque area. The sunset can be seen in the area.

"Stand there, I'll take photos for you." Ordered Dan and Lia did as he told.

Once the photo has been captured, Dan takes a look on the photo.

*beautiful* thought Dan.
