Oppa called out excitedly, "Hey, guys, look what I found!" He pointed down with enthusiasm.
Flower stretched her neck, squinting. "What?"
Oppa grinned. "I found a way to go down there!"
Flower smirked and patted his shoulder. "Well done. You actually came in handy for once."
Oppa practically glowed from the praise, especially since it came from his self-proclaimed wife.
Ori, peering down skeptically, shook his head. "Yeah, no way was I jumping down from where Sam just peed."
The other girls, grateful for the alternative route, also thanked Oppa before making their way down to the camp.
One by one, the group gathered around the fire. As more people joined, the circle around the fire grew bigger and bigger... and Sam found himself sitting farther and farther from the warmth.
He scowled, arms crossed. His eye twitched as he watched the flames flicker just out of reach.
What's the point of sitting by the fire if the circle is too big and I'm too far to even feel the heat?!
His frustration mounted as everyone chattered happily, seemingly unaware of his suffering.
Finally, unable to take it anymore, he stood up and declared, "Alright, this is ridiculous. We need to move closer to the fire. At this rate, I might as well just go back and make a fire there."
Jangla smirked. "Alright then, who's stopping you? Go back and make a fire for us while we sit here."
Furious, Sam stood up and walked back to their camp, muttering, "Better to enjoy the fire by myself than freeze in this group."
Chingla, worried, asked, "Is he mad at us for stealing the fire?"
Tsunamis answered casually, "Don't worry, he'll be back to normal soon."
Flower added, "It's not like it was his fire for us to steal to begin with."
On his way back, Sam was distracted by a frog hopping around. He tried to catch it but lost track of where he was going.
Meanwhile, July Boy, who had woken up from his deep slumber, found no one in the camp. The tents and everything had been packed up by the boys while he was asleep, but there was no sign of anyone.
Back with the group, they continued chatting as usual. Soon, Toping and the others (except Shon and Hori) returned to the camp, dripping wet from taking a dip in the nearby water.
Seeing them return, the group gave them space saying they were waiting for them to return to apologize on behalf of Sam.
Liabilities and the boys, unaware of Sam's actions, asked, "What...we were doing that?"
Jangla replied, "I thought it was obvious, I thought you guys might have realised it by yourself with us telling but never mind.
Toping, "No need to apologize for him. We know Sam always does the weirdest things, and it's good to know he hasn't changed."
Asing interrupted, "Which part of that is good? We were literally the victims here."
Toping chuckled hesitantly. "Yeah, aside from that part, everything else is good."
Tsunami, well then let's get going, you guys must be freezing by taking a quick wash at the river.
Just then, July Boy stood at the slope and asked, "What are you guys doing here?"
At that very moment, Shon and Hori also returned.
Hori was shocked seeing July Boy.
Shon was shocked seeing July Boy.
July Boy was shocked seeing Hori, Shon, and the rest of his old mates.
Liabilities was shocked seeing Shon.
What a shocking moment. Everyone was shocked.
