Jisoo
I badly wanted to kill Jennie fucking Kim.
How dare she make me go alone to the woods?!
It's my first time running so fast like that. I didn't bother walking because I'm so fucking scared and I can't help but imagine that there is a ghost behind me.
"What's wrong with you, Chicken?" Jessi asked as she put a hot chocolate in front of me. "You have been glaring at the table for a couple of minutes."
"Don't ever suggest a courage test; I might have a heart attack and trauma." I said, taking a sip of my hot chocolate.
She just laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
The weather is getting colder and winter is near. Every time I breathe, I can totally see smoke coming from my mouth.
"Yo! How is your tour in the woods?" Seulgi asked. She arrived with Jeongyeon since they are partners.
"Not bad, but not good." I answered, which made her chuckle a bit.
"Did you see any ghosts?" Jeongyeon asked, and I shook my head, 'No' as my response. "There is no ghost at all, Chicken."
"Why do you sound sad about that?" I asked her and she took a sip of my hot chocolate.
"Because I am, there is no thrill at all." She responded, and Seulgi nodded in agreement.
Our teammates are arriving. There is no evident fear in their faces. They are laughing and talking about what they did in the woods.
So, I'm the only one who gets scared of nothing.
Jessi served hot chocolate to the whole team. There are two extra cups of hot chocolate left on the table. I frowned when I realized that there were two missing, which were Lisa and Jennie.
"How long since Limario and Jendukie went to the woods?" I asked Jessi, which made her look at her wrist watch.
"36 minutes," she answered.
"Wow, it looks like the two got lost in the woods." Seulgi said as she brought out her walkie-talkie that Jessi had handed us earlier.
She used the walkie-talkie to call Lisa.
"Limario, where are you?" Seulgi asked through the walkie-talkie.
Jeongyeon, Cubby, and I scooted closer to her and waited for Limario's response.
"Near the camp, I can see all of you drinking hot chocolate." Limario responded.
We looked around and saw Limario walking beside Jennie. I waved my hand and she smiled at us.
She walked towards us, and Jennie followed her from behind.
"Why did it take you guys so long to arrive here?" Cubby asked, which made Limario's face turn red.
"We got lost. I'm bad at using manual maps like this." Limario showed us the map and we nodded in understanding.
"Here." Tzuyu handed her a cup of hot chocolate.
Instead of her drinking it already, she gave it first to Jennie, and she made her sit comfortably in the foldable chair.
She wrapped a small blanket around Jennie's shoulder and made sure she would not feel cold.
Limario became so extra attentive towards Jennie, which is a bit fishy. Her smile was so wide that it reached her ears.
Seulgi, Jeongyeon, Cubby, Tzuyu, and I quickly made a secret. We all noticed how our monkey was so weird tonight.
"Why is she smiling like that?" - Seulgi
"Why is our monkey so smiley?" -Jeongyeon.
"Do you think Jennie did something to her while they were in the woods?" -Tzuyu
"What happened inside the woods?" -Cubby
"Did the ghost possess Limario?" We asked each other in sync.
"What kind of question is that, Jisoo? There are no ghosts in the woods." Seulgi said, and sighed.
"Lisa is acting strange. She was not that smiley monkey at all before she went to the woods with Jennie." Cubby stated, earning a nod of agreement from us.
"For now, let's observe them. Then let's ask Monkey about what happened later." Tzuyu suggested, and we all agreed.
We broke the circle and acted normally. I know we are all secretly glancing at the smiley monkey who is talking with a slightly blushing kitten.
"Okay, Everyone, let's sleep since it's already late. Goodnight! See you guys tomorrow!" Jessi shouted.
We all went to our tents. It sucks that Limario will be my tentmate. I waited for her so I could ask her about what happened in the woods.
The zip opened, revealing Sana. That made me frown and confused.
"Why are you here?" I asked her.
"Lisa and I exchange tents because I can't stand being Jennie's partner." Sana said as she fixed her comforter. "Goodnight, Jisoo."
"Yeah, goodnight." I turned off the lamp and laid beside her.
Suddenly, what she said hits me. If Sana is partnered with Jennie and I'm partnered with Lisa, It means Limario will be sleeping in the same tent as Jennie.
I quickly went out of my tent, and it's pretty dark here outside. I quietly walked to Jennie's tent and found somewhere to peek at.
"What do you think you are doing?" I heard Limario's behind me, which made me flinch.
Limario raised an eyebrow while looking at me and welcomed me when I turned around to look at her.
"I'm planning to kill our captain. Do you want to help me?" I reasoned it out, half-meaning and half-lying.
"Do you want me to kill you first?" I froze in my position when I heard a very cold, intimidating voice that made my body shiver.
'Help.' I mouthed to Limario, but she just crossed her arms and smiled at me.
'Goodluck, Chicken.' She mumbled back and started walking away.
I gulped so hard and slowly turned around to face the fuming kitten. I got confused when she was smiling instead of glaring at me.
"Do you want it painful or painless?" She asked coldly, and her smile turned into a murderous smile.
"I'm going to kill myself. Goodnight, Jennie Kim. " I immediately ran back to my tent and zipped it up.
She's terrifying as fuck!

Lalisa
We pulled away from each other when the oxygen became a problem. I'm still on top of her and she is underneath me, both catching our breath.
We were both staring at each other, and her arms remained in my nape while mine remained beside her head, so I'm not going to throw myself at her.
I pulled away when I realized that we had been in the same position for a couple of minutes.
We sat on the ground, and I was looking everywhere just to avoid making eye contact with Jennie.
"I'm sorry." She apologized, which made me a bit sad.
"Nah, it's fine." I stood up from the ground and patted my clothes to remove the dirt. I offered a hand and she accepted it.
"Are you not going to asked me about why I did that?" She asked me, earning a shake of the head from me.
"As long as you didn't regret it, because I didn't regret any tiny bit of it." I smiled at her and she reciprocated it with a wide smile.
"I didn't because I love what happened." I felt my face heat up, which made her laugh a bit. "You are blushing."
"It's normal when my crush just kisses me and says she loves it." I playfully rolled my eyes.
I was about to continue walking when she suddenly grabbed my wrist, making me stop in my tracks.
"Don't ever think that I hate you because it will never happen, Lili." She said it with full sincerity.
"It's good to hear that, Nini." I slightly pinched my cheeks.
We continued walking back to our camp and suddenly someone talked on the walkie-talkie. It's Seulgi asking where we are, and I replied that we are near the camp.
What happened in the woods keeps repeating in my mind every time I see Jennie, and I can't help but smile.
I know our friends are looking at us and thinking that I'm being weird, but who cares? I'm so happy right now that I can hear my heart pounding loudly and fast.
It's already late and time to bed. Our teammates went to their tents and I was supposed to go to my tent, which I shared with Jisoo, but Sana asked me to sleep in her tent with Jennie.
I let Sana sleep in my tent because she really doesn't like the idea of sharing a tent with Jennie.
"Are you going to sleep in one tent with me?" Jennie asked, we are still not inside our tent.
Suddenly, I noticed a figure peeking at Jennie's tent, and I recognized it as Jisoo. She appeared to be looking for something.
I motioned to Jennie to keep quiet and pointed at Jisoo. She looked at Jisoo in disbelief.
I slowly walked behind Jisoo and watched what she was doing.
"What do you think you are doing?" I asked behind her, which made her flinch. I raised an eyebrow, and she slowly turned around to look at me.
"I'm planning to kill our captain. Do you want to help me?" She reasoned it out, and I stopped myself from laughing.
She doesn't know that Jennie is standing beside her with an unknown aura.
"Do you want me to kill you first?" She froze in her position when she heard Jennie's voice.
Jennie intentionally spoke coldly to Jisoo, who was scared.
'Help.' Jisoo mouthed to me, but I just crossed her arms and smiled at her.
'Goodluck, Chicken.' I murmured back and started walking away.
I decided to just sleep inside the van because I can't sleep beside Jennie tonight or else I will die because of my heart, which is beating so fast every time she is around.
It's pretty hard to lie here inside the van. I can't stretch my long legs because I need to curl up to make myself fit in the chair.
"Goodnight, world." I said as I closed my eyes and let myself fall into a deep slumber.
•••
I woke up when someone opened the compartment door of the van. I slowly sat up and adjusted my sight.
It's Rosé.
She didn't notice that I was inside the van, maybe because it was still pretty dark. The sun is still sleeping.
She gets something in the back of the van and it's her bag.
I wore my jacket and went out of the van. I followed her where she was going, and she was having a walk in the woods alone.
"You might get lost if you walk too far from the tent." I spoke from behind, which made her startled.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Following you." I answered.
She didn't ask any further, she just continued walking with me following her behind.
I hope I'm not making her feel uncomfortable.
We arrive at a cliff, and the sun is starting to rise. I sat on a big rock and Rosé was just standing in front of me, admiring the beautiful view.
Suddenly, she turned around, facing me, and she smiled at me.
"I like you, Lisa." She confessed bravely and chuckled. "I've been wanting to tell you that, but I'm scared of ruining our friendship. However, today is an exception since you already know my romantic feelings toward you. "
"I have been liking you since we were still children. I'm sorry for liking you romantically and for avoiding you these past few days. "
"Don't apologize, Chaeyoung-ah. It's fine. I know you need some space and time to think. " I smiled at her, reassuring her that everything was fine.
"I can still be your best friend, right?" She asked, hoping that we would be the same after her confession.
"You didn't have to ask because you are my bestfriend since day one. I'm not going to waste our friendship just because you like me. I treasure you more than anything else because you are my best friend and twin. " I stood up and walked towards her. "How long am I going to wait for my best friend to come back to me?"
"Not that long. Let me just forget my feelings for you, then I promise I'll be back as your best friend who will always have your back like what you always do back then till now." She said
I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and hugged her tightly.
"I'll be waiting, Chipmunk." She hugged me back and nodded.
"Thank you, Monkey."
