The School Hunk is Taken | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 9

The 20 of us trekked along for a while. Just before the sun set, we finally reached level ground halfway up the mountain, where we would be settling up camp for the night.

After organizing things a bit, the team leader distributed tents, groundsheets, and sleeping bags. Then he gave a demonstration on how to put up the tents. Jungkook and I put our tent and tossed our things inside. Then we took a commemorative photo together. To be honest, I still had some complaints about sharing at tent with a boy, especially one I didn't much like. But at the end of the day, we'd each be in our own sleeping bags, not paying the other any harm. This was a big group event, so I couldn't just cause an uproar over such a small thing.

When everyone finished putting up their tents, we all gathered to have dinner together.

Although the area had been developed into a park, aside from the places selling water and a bit of food at the foot of the mountain, the land was basically uninhabited. We had to carry our food and cooking supplies up the mountain on our own. Since there was a lot of stuff to carry, our food and supplies were rather rudimentary. We decided against any barbecue equipment and just went with gas burners and pots. In the mountains, getting a fire started was the first and foremost matter, so we were very conscious of the gas burns. Everyone was in charge of preparing their own utensils. For food, we brought meat, fish balls shrimp balls, vegetables, tofu, and such things that could be boiled, along with a large amount of noodles and some seasoning....It may sound simple, but out there in the wilderness, away from civilization it was actually rather extravagant.

I crouched down at the side of the pot with my food container, the saliva nearly dripping down my face. From the bubbling soup, I grabbed some lamb and vegetable pieces. Then I walked off to the side, carefully added some seasoning, and then....offered up the food to Jungkook.

Disgruntled groans sounded around us.

Jungkook tasted it without reservations and nodded. "Not bad".

Looking at his capitalistic face, I really wanted to grab the food out of his hands and pour it onto his head....But I had to endure it. For my precious Canon, I could endure it!

Aside from the noodles, the other food was basically a rare resource, which meant that everyone had their set share. In other words, if Jungkook ate my portion, I didn't get any more.

I was trying to figure out how to protect my lamb without angering Jungkook, when Senior Jieun offered her portion to him. She said, "Jungkook, I don't like meat. You can have it".

I looked over at them happily. Senior Jieun, good job!

But Jungkook didn't accept the lamb meat. Instead, he gave her a sweet smile and replied, "That's OK. I'll just eat Lisa's portion".

Listen to this, listen! What is he saying!? He's clearly exploiting and robbing me! How could he say those words so confidently? It's really true that a person needs to train their skin. I may have pretty thick sin, but it wasn't even a tenth as thick as Jungkook's!

With a grumpy face, I scooped up more meat from the pot and added seasoning. And without waiting for Jungkook's words, I immediately gobbled the food. Unfortunately, I was in too much of a rush that my eyes popped out from my mouth getting burned; tears nearly streamed down my face. I had my mouth open, sucking in and blowing out air. I couldn't beat to spit out the food, but neither could I just swallow it.

Jungkook quickly caught on to this embarrassing scene. At least he had a conscience though. He immediately poured me a cup of water. And then, with that smile of his, he asked, "You didn't go that far just for a few pieces of meat, did you?"

I gulped down a mouthful of water, which was very effective in bringing the temperature down, but I inadvertently ended up swallowing all the food like it was a pill of medicine. I wasn't grateful to Jungkook at all. He was the one who caused the entire problem with the meat in the first place. And he had this ill-intentioned expression on his face. He may as well have taped a sign to his head that said 'rejoices in others' misfortune'.
