SO YEONWOO WAS walking towards her tent, feeling very pleased with herself. Suho would have never approached Jugyeong if she hadn't intervened—with that, she gave herself a mental pat on the back.

She was thinking about unveiling the deck of cards she had packed into her suitcase when she came across Chorong and 'the gang' exiting their tent.

"Hi Yeonwoo!" Chorong said, waving emphatically at her. The rest of the gang followed suit, calling out cheerfully, "Hello Jeong Yeonwoo!"

"Hello to you all!" Yeonwoo chuckled. She found them likeable and funny, despite the street fighter persona they attempted to keep up. She noticed that they all had headlights fastened to their foreheads. "What are you guys up to?"

"Can you keep a secret?" He whispered loudly.

"Of course I can. What's up?"

"We're going to visit the haunted well!"

"The haunted well? The one the campsite manager told us to stay away from?"

"Exactly! You're so smart, Yeonwoo-ah." The rest of the boys murmured their agreement. "Wanna tag along?"

"S-Sure," she said slowly. 

Chorong linked arms with her. "We're going to have so much fun!" He nodded towards Manshik, whose expression was one of slight terror. "See! Yeonwoo's braver than you."

"Yeahhh!" They cheered voraciously. Yeonwoo gave him a sympathetic smile, as she too felt a bit trepidatious going to a haunted well.

They all whooped again when Mansik relented. Their excitement was so infectious, she couldn't help but laugh with them.

They walked towards the forest path, in which Seojun appeared.

"Where are you guys headed?" He asked, eyes resting for a tad second longer upon Yeonwoo. 

(He still felt a bit iffy over her abandoning them for Ha Minkyu).

Mansik blurted out, "He's off to see the ghost!"

Chorong said excitedly, "A ghost is said to appear at the well. A video of us searching for it will go viral! Come with us."

Seojun scoffed. "I can't be bothered so have fun."

The gang whined. Chorong said, "Seojun, I see you're scared of ghosts. Look, even Yeonwoo's not scared of them!" He tugged on Yeonwoo's arm, inciting a laugh from the girl.

Seojun laughed loudly, before fixing a deadly expression upon them. "So where's this well?"

The boys saluted. "There!" Seojun walked swiftly ahead of them, and they all cheered. "Seojun is going with us!"

"What are you doing? Let's go!" Chorong had noticed Yeonwoo's feet were still firmly planted upon the ground.

Her face, which had been devoid of emotion, immediately broke into a smile. "Let's go then."

It just so happened that along the walk, Seojun had slowed his walk to the point where he was walking beside Chorong and Yeonwoo, whose arms were still linked.
