The X Mountains were outside of B City, up at an elevation of more than a thousand meters above sea level. A professional mountaineer would hardly bat a lash at it, but for us students, it was very imposing!

I climbed out of bed bright and early in the morning because we were meeting at 6.1 washed my face and brushed my teeth. Then I grabbed the bag I packed the previous night and rest out. I borrowed the backpack from Jennie. There was a lot of space inside, which I filled with water and some extra clothes, since supposedly it was still very cold at night in the mountains. Additionally, I packed a pocket knife, a whistle, and other small, essential items for staying in the outdoors. Food and other necessities were divided up between teams, and the boys were responsible for carrying it. The girls just had to make sure they took care of their own things.

With how far the destination was, taking public transportation would have been tedious and time-consuming, so instead, the club rented a coach bus. I arrived early, so there weren't many people on the bus yet. I found a spot by the window and sat down. Then I pulled out a piece of bread to nibble on. The cafeteria wasn't open that early, so everyone prepared their own breakfasts.

It was nearly 6 when Jungkook and the other guys arrived with the food and equipment. The bags were gigantic frighteningly so.

After they put all their bags into the luggage compartment, the boys got onto the bus. With a plastic bag in his hand, Jungkook walked down this aisle, and under the girl's watching eyes, he nonchalantly took the seat beside me. I turned toward the window and continued nibbling on my bread. Although Jungkook wasn't my type, and he probably wasn't interested in me either, the stares from the other girls were really stressful.

Jungkook opened his plastic bag. Inside was his breakfast, which included bread milk, eggs, sausage, beef jerky....

From the side, my eyes fixed on his assorted breakfast. Meanwhile, I sat there chewing on my dry bread, silently sighing with grief, 'Why world, why...."

Then Jungkook handed me a box of milk and asked, "Want some?"

I hesitated a moment before shaking my head. Meat pies don't just fall from the sky. This guys obviously had something up his sleeve.

But then Jungkook suddenly grabbed the bread in my hands and put it into a plastic bag. He twisted it a few times and then put it to the side. Then he put his breakfast in my lap, and smiled. "Go ahead". Without waiting for my reaction, he grabbed a soy egg and started to unwrap the packaging. 

I looked down at the very enticing breakfast on my lap, and to my surprise, I realized that there were two servings of bread, milk, eggs, sausages, and jerky....

So I didn't hold back. I picked up a sausage, unwrapped it, and started to eat. As I ate, I thanked Jungkook. "Jungkook, you're not so bad".

Jungkook raised his brows and smiled at me. Then he asked, "Am I very bad?" Although he was smiling, I felt a strange gust of cold air hit my back.

And then I started to chuckled a bit nervously.

Jungkook smiled slyly and said, "You're won over with just a bit of food? That's no fun".

I was chewing on a sausage when the flash of indignation made me speechless.

When I finished eating breakfast, the bus was already on its way. It would take about three or four hours to get to the destination. At first, I was awake enough to listen to the jokes people were telling, but later, my eyelids started to droop. I didn't want to go to sleep because it wasn't very comfortable. The backrest on the seats were very vertical and went past my head. If I fell asleep, my head would start tossing left and right, so if I didn't want that, I'd have to stay awake. In the beginning, I'd nearly fallen asleep until the driver suddenly braked, which caused my head to hit the window, painfully waking me.
