It's finally the chapter for their school trip. Klein had no other choice but to attend it since Mr Ryan and Han nagged him to go with them. Their school trip could be considered interesting for Klein eight months ago. Now, the school trip is just bothersome to him.

They're going camping at a random forest where there will be no internet and Klein had to announce his absence to his reader. The reader was disappointed a little but wished him well. Even though the teacher had assigned a seat for the student, they all chose to sit down with their friends.

What's more stressful for the teachers are the duo, Han and Woo Young, who refuse to leave the Class E bus. They wanted to sit with Klein so the teacher had to ask for two volunteers from Class E to ride class C bus instead. Thank god there are really people who willingly switch with these two troublesome students.

Ryan heard what his son did but turned a blind eye. He even told the other teacher he found Han in the dumpster but of course, that caused him to receive a kick from his son. He's not adopted of course.

The next commotion…you guess it.

Woo Young and Han fight for seat next to Klein.

"Excuse me. My friends offer to move so you guys can sit at the back here. The back had four seats."

It's Class E class president and next to her are her two friends who're standing up ready to take Klein's seat. Woo Young and Han happily sit down at the back and leave the middle seat to Klein. Klein bowed down, apologies to the two girls before sitting down in the middle of his two friends.

The class president who's sitting down next to Woo Young, chuckles at Klein's friends' behaviour. Well, at least Klein has his own friend group now. As a class president, she felt responsible for her classmates. She was sad when Klein refused to talk to anyone in class but when she found out he had friends, she's relief.

Klein had to write his novel idea in his notebook while his friends played rock, paper and scissors in front of his field of vision. This causes him to smack their head. They hit him back as revenge but Han quickly apologies to him.

"Hey, Klein. Mind if I borrow your shoulder?"

"Don't."

"Aw!"

Han laughs at Woo Young who got rejected but soon, he clears his throat and shoots his shot.

"Can I?"

Klein moved his gaze to Han and looked back to his notebook. Since he owes the boy, he pat his shoulder which somehow, makes his assistant blush a bit. Not only Woo Young, but the girls around them are quietly fangirling. They keep whispering, which catches Klein's attention a bit.

Woo Young on the other hand, remembers correctly, the news about Klein and Seong was a hit. People didn't care about their relationship but they're more focused on the fact Seong killed himself for Klein. People blame the boy for killing him but realise soon that they shouldn't blame the traumatized boy.

He even witnessed the body, everyone wondered why they even blamed the boy in the first place.

Han put his head on Klein's shoulder and read his notebook content. It's not even half an hour but the boy has written a lot! Han starts to comment on the story in his mind and make sure he remembers to tell Klein those later. Everyone starts to fall asleep but the sound of writing made by Klein still could be heard by Han.

"Here, you had some spelling errors."

Han lifts his head from Klein's shoulder and takes the notebook and pen from Klein. He starts to circle the error and also write his comment below every page. Klein stares at the cruel comment written by his assistant and sighs.

"Your foul comment is the only reason I wanted to study literature."

"I am glad you want to learn more than before."

"....Thank you."

Han smiles and closes the book. This confuses Klein a bit but he waits for his assistant to say something.

"For a popular writer like you to notice me…I wonder if you didn't notice me…would you still hire an assistant?"

"Don't think much about it. Go take a nap or else you will feel tired when we reach there."

"You should sleep too."

When Han put his head on the writer's head, the writer himself continued writing, refusing to listen to his words. When they reach their destination, they're given a room key. It's three people in one room so Han already chose his second roommate as Klein. Woo Young bite her lips in frustration.

"Teacher! I want the same room with them!"

"Woo Young! Have some shame!"

The Class C homeroom teacher said and pulled her ears. Han smirks at Woo Young while the girl gives him a death glare. A guy approaches Han and Klein and Klein knows the boy quite well.

"Han, right? I am Louis from Class A. Can I be in the same room with you guys?"

"Sure! Now we have enough people!"

Louis stares at Klein who gave him a bored stare. Klein didn't look troubled or scared of Louis so Han thought it was alright. Klein on the other hand questioned Louis' intention. This guy didn't even acknowledge his existence before. Why is he here?

They enter the room and unpack their stuff. They then put their snacks on the floor and sat down surrounding it. Few Class A and C boys enter their room to spend time together but Klein felt suffocated by too many people. Han plays some games with his friends before chasing them out.

Louis, knowing very well why Han did that, also played with his friends for a while before chasing them out. They saw Klein who's hiding under his blanket. They look at the leftover snacks and Han slowly approaches Klein.

"Wanna play some games with me and Louis?"

"...Sure."
