11 | POOR LITTLE ROACH

Minjun furrowed her brows together in confusion, eyeing the Canadian boy weirdly, "Uhh? Mark? What do you mea—"

"Shhh-" he hovers his forefinger over Minjun's lips, "You can take all the time you need, I promise we won't judge you, just be you, Min." he nodded and ruffled the girl's short hair.

Is he okay? Minjun thought slowly, focusing back into the dirt path they've been following for what seemed like hours now.

"We're not lost, right?" she questions out loud, throwing a wary look at Donghyuck who nodded. "Have some trust in me, dude. We're totally gonna win this."

Minjun sighed, nodding her head, "Alright, just checking."

"Everyone seems to be checking the forest, shouldn't we go take a look there too?" Yangyang suggested, looking over the forest entrance for awhile now.

"If you want to get eaten by a bear then go ahead." Renjun calmly replied, gesturing a hand towards the forest making the younger scowl at him.

"Never mind."

"What if Bella's in that forest?" Lucas murmured before poking Chenle's arm continuously. "Chenle! Chenle! Chenle!"

Chenle deadpanned before raising a brow questioningly at the tree, "What? What? What?" he replied, the same enthusiastic energy returned.

"Do you think Bella's in the forest."

Chenle hummed, thinking for a bit, though mostly his mind only thought of how he'll be able to meet Stephen Curry. "Probably?"

Yangyang shook his head, "I thought we were done with this conversation? Your dog isn't here, Lucas!"

Lucas shot him a suspicious look, "You never know, Yangyang, you never know."

Hendery closed the equipment shed's door, sighing in defeat, "No flag here."

"Check harder." Xiaojun insisted.

Hendery ruffled his own hair, "I already did!"

"Well... what'd you find?"

"A dead cockroach..."

Xiaojun scrunched his face in displeasure, "I was hoping for something exciting but okay."

Lucas shot a look towards the two boys before approaching them, "A dead cockroach?" he gasps dramatically, "Omg, we need to give him a proper burial!"

Renjun gaped at the taller boy before pulling him back by his shoulder, "Lucas, no."

"Lucas, yes." the said boy replied before pushing Hendery out of his way, walking into the equipment shed.

"Is he that caring for animals?" Renjun questioned Xiaojun who only replied with a forced smile. "Don't mind him- he probably just misses Bella."

"Poor buddy–" Lucas frowned, cradling the dead roach in the palms of his hand making them yell out in either disgust or shock.

"Lucas! What the hell!? You really- Drop that! That's dirty- ew." Yangyang yelled and slapped Lucas' arm, making him drop the roach on the floor.

Hendery stepped on in repeatedly, "Is it dead?"

"What the fuck do you mean 'Is it dead'? It was already dead! Now the roach is double dead!" Renjun retorted, eyeing the squashed insect on the ground.

Lucas faked a cry, hand reaching out to the poor roach, "Time with you was good, little roach."

"Okay, no. We got no time to mess around! We need to earn that special prize!" Xiaojun called out for their attention, stomping his foot onto the grass.

"What is the prize anyway?" Chenle questioned. "I heard it was a free access to midnight snacks!" he added.

Xiaojun nodded, "Exactly! I need food for my new combination, that's why we need to win that prize."

Renjun sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Well, the flag isn't here so we need to get going fast."

"But- but! Little roach!" Lucas pointed down at the cockroach.

Renjun gave him a solid stare before shaking his head, "Lucas. No."
