92: The Dreadful Hunt

"Today, our activity will be a scavenger hunt at Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff where the mechanics are simple. There are various items related to our next destination scattered all over the area. You will know that the item is part of the list when it has a yellow ribbon tied on it. This destination is where our last activity will be held which will be tomorrow. Now, the group that obtains the most number of items will automatically gain 10 points. In half an hour, we will gather outside and once everyone is complete, we will travel to our destination", Taeyong announced just after they were finish eating breakfast.
They then headed back to their rooms in order to prepare for today's activity. Jae-seong was still ultimately worried about Yuta being distant but nonetheless just tried her best to ignore it when she knows she did nothing wrong. Ten and Jae-seong then planned to sit beside each other at the back of the van on their way to their destination. 
They were acting more obvious as the day went by. But they don't seem to mind at all anymore, besides, they wanted to make it official anyway, in the right timing of course. “Don’t you think Yuta is being distant”, Jae-seong whispered asking Ten. “That is out of your control. Don’t stress about it”, Ten answered as Jae-seong shrugged the idea. Jae-seong then leaned her head on Ten's shoulder and closed her eyes with her hand intertwined with Ten's. They stayed like that until they reached their destination. They went out and immediately met with their groups. Since it was awkward, Jae-seong walked just behind Yuta who was on speedily making his way to their group.
They then discussed of strategies to get as much items as possible. Jae-seong's team decided to split the group into pairs and unfortunately Jae-seong was paired with Yuta. She wanted to complain but there's nothing she can do about it other than act professional. They knew that Yuta was part of the group that had VIP treatment under Taeyong's name and that they thought that they were super close.
"Come" Jae-seong said with a smile extending a hand towards Yuta. Yuta just gave Jae-seong a confused look raising an eyebrow towards her. "We better start hunting if we wanna win", Jae-seong said with the brightest smile. Yuta then smiled and took Jae-seong's hand as they started venturing into the hunt. They walked in silence and picked up items that have the yellow ribbon tied on them. The longer that they walk in silence the harder it got for Jae-seong. She gathered up the courage to speak amd break the silence.
"Are you mad", Jae-seong suddenly asked as she stopped from walking. Yuta just looked at her still not saying a word. "Did I do something that made you mad", Jae-seong continued to ask. Still no response. They continued to stared at each other, one longing for an answer and one being pained. "At least say something", Jae-seong said but still got no response. She stared at Yuta who seems to be acting busy, well, to her at least. And that is when she exploded.
"Hey! Why are you treating me like this? You're lucky I am the one approaching you when I don't usually do this not even to my own brother. What did I even do? You wouldn't even tell me what the hell is wrong. Did you go bankrupt? Did somebody die? Did the world end? Tell me! Because I can't stand to work with someone who's not even being communicative in a goddamn game that requires communication", Jae-seong yelled stomping her feet as she moved back and forth not even looking at the person she's scolding.
As she calmed down a bit, she then looked at Yuta who was smiling at her. "Hey! Now you're smiling at me? Have you gone crazy? Have I gone crazy? What the hell even? Yuta! Say something", Jae-seong kept yelling, stomping her feet, moving back and forth until Yuta stopped her holding both her shoulders and turning her to face him. "Do I really matter to you that much", Yuta finally asked making Jae-seong's knees weak. She fell on her knees holding unto Yuta's arms with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Yes goddamnit", Jae-seong exclaimed before sobbing with her head hung low. Yuta then got down as well cupping Jae-seong's cheeks with his hands. "Then I'm sorry for worrying you", Yuta said with the sweetest voice. "But why? Why did you do it", Jae-seong asked hitting Yuta's chest. "Don't worry about it anymore. I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again", Yuta said with the same voice now smiling at Jae-seong. "Fine. Just don't do it again", Jae-seong said pouting. "I promise", Yuta responded smiling.
