Description of the cabin. The cabin is made of mud walls and a rush roof. A wreath of red poppies hangs on the door. Inside, there's a hearth with a crackling fire. Above the mantel hangs Hypnos' symbol: a poplar tree branch dripping water from the River Lethe, into a collection of tin bowls. Soft violin music is always playing, and the air always smells like fresh laundry. There are always plenty of empty beds, all with feather pillows, fresh sheets and fluffy quilts. The Hypnos cabin makes everyone feel like sleeping, with its cozy and comfortable feel. ((It's safe to say that if not strong enough it could pull you to sleep.)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There had been some rumors going around the camp about the older kids having a party. Which left the younger kids alone and without anyone watching them. It kind of made Savanna smile a little. But that meant that they could have their own party. So, Savanna had spread the word about her little sleep over at the Hypnos cabin for the younger kids. It was the best place for the kids to be at. They would be asleep by the time that the party was over, and they would be safe. Well, safe enough. She thought to herself. She had a smile on her normally sleepy face. Her older siblings had left the cabin, leaving her and her younger siblings there to do what they wished. She giggled a little at something that one of her siblings said as she sat out the punch and snacks on the table. There were tons of soft pillows around the place so that whoever wanted could totally pass out and sleep. Savanna wasn't sure that she wouldn't be one of those that would be asleep before the party ended. But she was going to try her best to stay awake. She had gotten everything set up and she was ready for the party guest to arrive. She had a bright smile on her face as she walked to the door, swinging it open for those that wanted to come in, to be able to come on in without knocking on the door. She picked up a glass of punch and a cookie and glanced at the door, waiting for someone to walk in.

Julia had heard the rumors going around camp about a party going on, it was mainly for the older campers which she wasn't the happiest about. She would of loved to go have some fun at a party. That's when she found out that her friend Savanna decided to put on a sleep over, and Julia was happy once again. Throwing on her comfy pjs, packing a small bag, as if she needed to. Smiling as she tossed the bag over her shoulder, she walked out of her cabin, her older sister was already leaving for the big kids party. She didn't see her younger siblings, she thought maybe they heard about the sleep over before she did, so she shrugged and walked out the cabin, headed to the Hypnos cabin. Walking up on the cabin, Julia admired the look of it, it looked so different than most the other cabins. With a bright smile on her face she walked up to the open door and stepped it "Knock Knock" she said as she glanced around the inside of the cabin. Spotting the punch and snacks, she tossed her back by the door and headed straight for the table, making herself a glass she sipped on it as she turned to see where Savanna was. "Hi! Your cabin looks so neat inside" she comments, still looking around, when she notices some white stuff coming from the walls. Cocking her head to the side, she walked toward the wall, "woah, what is this stuff?" she questioned just ask she started to right for it with her left hand.

Leroy would see some of the older siblings leaving for party which he was upset he did not get an invite to.However he heard about a sleepover at the Hypnos Cabin for the younger siblings. He would go and ask Octavia if she planned on going to the sleepover. Depending on her answer he would offer to walk over to the Hypnos cabin with her. He would go up to the cabin and knocked on the door. When he was invited in he would say “Howdy, how are y’all doin this evening? Thanks for the invite.” He would try to make small talk when he would see Derrick out of the corner of his eyes and say “This is a great sleep over and look at that it’s Derrick.” He would walk over to him and say “How are you bon ami? Are you staying the whole time?”

Derrick had told that his older sibling were going to some party and he was not allowed to go. Well he didn't want to be around a bunch of weird older people anyways. Azrael told him about this sleepover at the Hypnos cabin which he was happy to join in on. Of course he made sure Leroy his new friend was coming to as he didn't want to be surrounded by girls. Maybe they would try to hold him down and kiss him.....GROSSSSSSS. This thought made him shake his head with a disgusted look on his face as he walked to the cabin. It wasn't too far from his own but he was taking his own time. That was when he noticed Julia the girl he had a food fight with going on into the cabin. Holding his small bag and pillow he then rushed to the cabin as he had never been inside. His eyes got big as he looked around at all the things inside as this place seemed very peaceful. "Hey" he said as he noticed julia wasted no time is going for thing. Was Savannah going to stop her?

Krystal was pretty excited for the party. She wasn't always big on partying, but with the way this year has been, getting to let go and have some fun was exactly what she needed. Even better she will have a date to bring with her to the party. Whether he liked it or not, he wouldn't deny her the joys of going out having some fun. Krystal had been busy with her little brother Axel most of the day, trying to help him with being more involved with his peers. As the day wined down, she could already hear Aislynn coming over the speakers, playing her guitar and getting things started. Heading back to her own cabin, she changed out of her work outfit, and into this cute outfit she found when her and Mckayla were out shopping (outfit). Once she was changed, she headed for the Ares cabin. Arriving at her boyfriend's cabin, she swung the door open "Oh Dusty!" she hollered out with a bright smile, as she walked in and headed for his room. Stepping into his room, finding him dressed in just a pair of shorts, she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him "Hey sexy, getting ready to come with me to Aislynn's party tonight?" she questioned him with a hint of playfulness. Letting him go and walking around to be in front of him, she giggled "you could just go without a shirt" she winked. ~ Krystal and Dustin showed up to the party, hand in hand. They walked into the Dionysus cabin, and Krystal found the drinks, seeing that there was a bowl of liquid, she could only assume it was something that either Ash or one of her siblings threw together. It looked good but she wasn't sure if it was a great idea to drink something those drinkers threw together, looking to Dustin she giggled and with a smiled said "I'll try some if you do Babe".

Stepping into the lively room, Damien felt the cabin porch light hit him from behind, casting a divine glow that further accentuated his charisma. It was as if the universe itself knew how to highlight his grand entrance. "Make way for the showstopper, the epitome of divine excellence.......Damieeeeeennnnnnn Dawwwwwwwnnnnnn has arrived!!!!" he boomed, his voice filled with the kind of self-assuredness only a son of Apollo could muster. His eyes scanned the room assessing the "audience" he was about to bless with his godlike presence. With a smile that could've been sculpted by Hephaestus himself, he swept into the room, very aware that his entrance had attracted the eyes of nearly everyone present. Ah, what a delight it was to be the center of attention; it was his birthright after all. Even as Aislynn's guitar chords filled the air, Damien couldn't help but think how much more electrifying the party would be with his own musical flair added to the mix. Hmmmm, maybe later! Yet, a tiny sliver of him questioned if this night would be just another echo in a life full of performances, or if it would offer him something more; something beyond the adoration and awe he so effortlessly commanded. With that thought momentarily tucked away, he prepared to seize the night like only Damien Dawn could!

Sage had about enough of Damien, he had been so obsessed with himself that he lost the winning point for Capture the Flag. If that didn't burn her buttons enough then the fact he was not helpful as a partner in class just pushed her to the edge. That was it! She thought to herself, she didn't care how good looking he was or that he shot her down by calling her not by her name. It was as if this prick didn't give a crap about anyone but himself! As if the sun shined just for him or that everyone at camp was to be there to play his stepping stools. GRRRRRRRRR HE WAS SO DUMB ....but yes he was handsome but dumb!!!!!!!! Sage had made some fake posters stating the most talented and good looking campers should apply for a special award. Knowing that Damien could not resist. She made sure to put one in his bedroom which she snuck into. GOSHHHH he even had like hundreds of photos of himself signed by himself. This was just nauseating. Scheming with Henry, the two of them waited until the date on the poster to put up signs with arrows that lead to a tent. That tent was a trap that would snap down on pretty boy. This would allow them to then get him back...maybe they would color his hair or cut it or even better. Put makeup on him to make him hideous!!!! Now it was just time for them to wait to see if the dumb big head baffoon would come. @ Henrietta Abbot @ Damien Dawn

Petal whimpered as Andralyn's fingers slipped into her, exploring her most vulnerable place with a soft yet confident touch. The delicious pressure and curl of Andralyn's fingers sent ripples of pleasure coursing through Petal's body. "A-aahh... Andralyn...y-yesss..." Each thrust was sensitive yet assertive with a rhythm that made her heart pound and chaos reign within her body. Wet and warm, with Andralyn submerged inside her, she gripped the hands that held her waist, nails digging into the tanned skin due to overbearing excitement. Petal’s her small whimpers shifting into drawn-out cries of embarkment. As Andralyn plunged deeper, hitting the spot that had her moaning out incoherently, she bucked her hips upward. Andralyn's change of position caught her off guard. The sight of Andralyn spread out underneath her made her cheeks burn hotter. Now she was in the position that offered an enticing view of her body. Unprepared, she yelped and squirmed when a warm tongue reached her already overstimulated clit. Goddess, she was feeling everything at once. "Aaa...mmmm....I...Oh..Andral...ynnnnnn..." her words came out strangled between gasping moans. The soft vibration of Andralyn's moans against her clit sent fresh waves of pleasure tearing through her urging her to move her hips in sync with Andralyn's mouth. Panting heavily, she finally took advantage of her position, reaching back to stroke Andralyn's glistening body with shaky hands. She slipped her fingers down Andralyn's torso, seeking her own wetness. She slid her fingers deep inside Andralyn, a little awkwardly but with determined precision, setting a fast pace. "Let's see how the prankster likes being on the receiving end for a change?" Petal teased, though the way the other girl was working her pussy it didn't come out as dominant as Petal might have tried. Still, she kept her fingers moving rhythmically amidst the ocean sounds, trying to reciprocate the very feeling that was pulsing within her own self.

Dressed in a boho-inspired ensemble of a tie-dye crop top, a flowing skirt adorned with embroidered flowers, and multiple beaded bracelets clinking at her wrists, Petal sauntered into the transformed main room. Her brown leather sandals barely made a sound as she stepped on the floor. Her aura was awash with feelings of excitement and a tinge of nostalgia; these year-round parties were like small-scale echoes of the grand summer festivals she'd grown up attending. As Aislynn strummed her guitar and belted out a welcoming anthem, Petal felt the vibrant energy in the room pull her closer to the heart of the celebration. Just then, her eyes caught sight of Andralyn who she'd shared a recent, passionate fling with. Her cheeks flushed a delicate pink, and a flurry of emotions ran through her. Caught between the thrill of seeing Andralyn again and a hesitation borne out of the undefined nature of their relationship, Petal felt a fleeting tension. She took a slow breath and moved slightly closer but kept a safe, ambivalent distance, choosing to ride the wave of the night and see where it took her. As she did so she also tried to keep an eye out for Gael, another camper with which she'd had unknown feelings towards...uggggghhh she had a habit of making complicated relationships at camp. What else could she expect though, she just had so much love to share!

MK had been through a lot in a year really! This time last year she had been fighting with her boyfriend Zoren who was mad about Levi, which at the time she didn't think she had feelings for. Something deep inside made her want to run from Levi but it was as if she could not resist him. As if he was the sun and she the star that was drawn to his brilliance. It was after the hard break up with Zoren that she found herself fixing her relationship with her half sister Krystal. Her sister had always been the one that tried to be there MK but the anger and jealousy over Dustin had gotten in the way. But when she was in pain, it was the arms of Krystal that held her when she felt like giving up. When she felt so broken and unloved, it was there that she felt safe for once. That was when she began to heal slowly. But then the unexpected happened from a night of passion and fun, a beautiful thing emerged. MK hadn't expected anything serious from Levi, the boy who she pushed away time and time again. He was the camp playboy who just had his fun and then moved on..right? But it was from the unexpected that her heart began to feel things she wasn't sure was going to be reciprocated. MK had already had this happen once. So she guarded herself but kept falling more and more in love with the untamable Levi. The boy who stole her heart. He was fun and yet playful but also passionately devoured her. That was when the scary words of 'I love you' came from his mouth, which were the words she was never expecting, but shifted her whole world. Of course she had loved him back but knew he had to be himself. There was a knock at her door, squealing she pulled on her dress over her head as she was finishing getting ready. Biting her lip, he eyes gazed up at Levi as he spun her around. "Why thank you, you look pretty damn good yourself" she said looking Levi up and down. "Only if I am with you" she heart was racing as she felt breathless in his arms. They soon arrived at the party as MK looked at Levi, having a hard time feeling as if this was all too real or not. "Right this way" she giggled as she lead him through the group to the dance floor. Ready to have a bit of fun! Dropping his hand she put her arms around Levi's neck as she began to dance, moving her body to the music.

In the Apollo cabin at the moment, there was a lot going on. Most of the older campers were getting ready for the party, and then there was the younger brothers and sisters getting ready for the apparent sleep over happening over at the Hypnos cabin. Which she found cute. She told them all to have fun in that respect. Because a sleep over there could be very dangerous. She had heard a couple stories from some of the camper that had stepped foot into the cabins before, but again it was just hear say, but she believed them. She at the moment was getting dressed in her cute red dress. She didn't have to worried about James; she knew that he was going to be at her door any time. She knew that he needed some time off, he had told her about his siblings and as bad as she felt for him being the cabin leader and all, she knew that he loved them dearly. After her dress was on, she began getting her hair done and putting on her make up. Dark eye color to make her baby blues pop out more and then of course she couldn't help but go with a red lip as well. She stood up and turned around in the mirror. Loving the way that she looked. Her siblings whistled at her, and she couldn't help but smirk. "I know, right." she said sending them a wink. She couldn't help but love the fact that she looked good. She walked out of her room and over to the door, noticing that there was a sexy hunk of a man there. She sent him a sexy smile as she walked over to him, throwing his arms around his neck, pushing herself up against him. "Hey there." she purred softly. James was someone that she couldn't beat. After getting together last summer, things had only gone up from there for her. Nothing had gone bad, no exes coming into play at the moment. Though she knew that something bad was aimed to happen since Lord Ares came to the camp, but she was trying to forget about that one. She wondered if James knew anything from Dustin by this point. "Let's get to this party." she said as she pecked him gently on the lips. ~~~ As the arrived at the cabin, she heard the music and she couldn't help but turn around, pulling James to the side of the cabin. "Are you sure you want to go in?" She stated teasingly. "I mean I could always show you a better time." She murmured a little, looking up at him through hooded eyes. Though as much as she wanted to do that, she totally needed some fun in her life. Drinks and friends. Maybe a dirty dance with her man here and there. She loved that idea. She gave him a cheeky grin as she laced her fingers through his, pushing herself into him once again. "How about later then." she said as she pulled him into the cabin. The music hit her, and a bright smile came to her lips. She loved the world of music. It was the reason that she was getting a degree in it. She pulled James around the people looking for certain friends. But she passed the drinks, and she couldn't help but stop and grab one. She turned to James and giggled. "Good dancing juice." she said winking.

Octavia was worried about having to be put to sleep by her big brother, because she had heard that there was another party being put on by the older campers. Which sucked. She didn't want to be put to sleep because of that reason again. She huffed a little when Leroy had asked her to go to the sleep over together. She hadn't heard about that one yet, but she was excited enough to go. She walked over to the Hypnos cabin with her big brother and looked around the area. The door was open, and she could hear people talking on the inside. She grinned as she walked in but something about the place made her want to go to bed. She fought it for a moment and then noticed Derrick over there. Apparently so did her brother. A small smile came to her face as she ran and jumped on Derrick. "Did you meet Leroy, he's, my brother. Big brother but still my brother." she grinned looking at the older boy with a grin. She couldn't help but love the fact that she had more family. However, her attention was turned to a girl that asked about something hanging on the wall. She tilted her head being a little curious as well.

Levi was in a trance of heightened desires, his body was feeling every little movement she made. Balling his hands into a fist as he pulled at the belt, he felt her breath linger across his throbbing cock, the closer she got to him, the more his hips moved, pushing his cock toward her mouth. "Mmmm fuck" he groaned out, he wasn't sure how he was feeling about the situation he was in. Normally being the predator, he now found himself as the pray, it was a new and interesting feeling, the tension building, his chest falling hard with deep breaths. Was this what girls felt like when he tied them up, this sense of helplessness? Did they really enjoy this? So many questions started to pop into his head, as chills were running threw his body with every slow deliberate stroke she made, until she stopped, this jolted Levi's head down and he was meet with big round doe eyes staring up at him. "Yes that's it, take my length in" he says, trying to feel some sense of control at this point. He was still plotting how he was going to turn the tables on Tempest. He wanted his control back, as much as his body was reacting to her, he was not happy to be the pray. Her mouth wrapped slowly around his cock, as she took his length in a little at a time. His head tilting back in pleasure, it was like a jolt of electricity running threw him. His cock pulsed insider her mouth as his hips pushed forward more. "Good girl" he says in a breathy moan. His wrist were burning at this point, as he pulled trying to either pull out of the belt or break the belt. Part of him didn't want to break the belt because well it was the only one he owned.

The past few months have been so crazy for Levi, so much has happened, from his best friend finding out his going to be a dad and is pissed off at him, to confessing his love for Mk, which is still in shock over himself, it just slipped that night. Levi had so much on his mind, but when he found out that Aislynn was throwing one of her parties, he was more the happy to join in on the fun. There was just one difference about this party, he actually had a date to go with him, he wasn't going by himself and just looking for a girl to play around with for the night. It was going to be a little weird for him, he was so new to this whole relationship thing which meant other girls were off limits to him. He told himself though that this wasn't going to be a problem for him because he'll have the most beautiful girl at the camp, on his arm. Getting dressed, he through on a pair of comfy ball shorts and a black t-shirt, nothing fancy. Once he was dressed, he headed out to the Nike cabin. Just as he was about to knock on the door Krystal walked out the door, giving him a small smirk as she walked passed him. He shook his head and headed into the cabin. Going up to McKayla's door, he hesitated on knocking or just walking in. Instead he choose to knock as he opened the door and walked in. McKayla had just pulled her dress over her head. "Damn" he said with a laugh, as he realized what he just missed. Walking up to her, he grabs her waist spinning her around to face him, a huge smile on his face "well don't you look beautiful" he said looking into her eyes. "Ready for this party?" he questioned her. ~ When Levi and Mckayla arrive at the party, the cabin was already full of campers, ones dancing to Aislynn's music, and others drinking and talking to friends. Looking to Mk he pulled her hand forward "Lead the way" he said with a wink.

The tension in the air had been palpable, and seeing his older brother let his guard down, even for just a moment, was like lifting a weight off Benji's own shoulders. For too long, he had been the silent observer, taking in the nuances of his brothers' characters, understanding their struggles but not knowing how best to address them. Now, as he looked at Dustin's tear-streaked face and heard Liam's words of loyalty, he felt a new sense of unity among them. "You're not alone, Dustin. None of us are," he reaffirmed, hoping to echo the strength of Liam's earlier sentiment. "We've each got our own way of preparing for what's coming. Yours is to lead; mine is to observe and strategize; Liam's is to charge in with all the strength and courage he possesses. Together, we cover each other's weaknesses and amplify each other's strengths." Something about this interaction had cemented something within Benji, a resolve that seemed to say, 'We will face this, and we will face it together.' He wasn't naive. He knew that the upcoming war would bring trials that would test them in unimaginable ways, but in that moment, as he stood there with his brothers, he felt ready. Benji was often accused of being too aloof, too detached, but he loved his brothers fiercely, and he knew that now was the time to show it. "It takes a strong leader to show vulnerability, Dustin," Benji added softly, locking eyes with his brother. "Your strength isn't just your own; it's drawn from all of us. Remember that, especially when you feel the weight of this war on your shoulders."

Liam's unwavering gaze remained fixed on Dustin as he spoke, his words imbued with a genuine sense of loyalty in him. Even Benji came up and seemed to feel the same, forging a connection among the brothers. The feeling of impending war hung heavily over them all, making Liam's steadfast presence beside Dustin was one he hoped showed his stance. Their blood was thick and he would never waver in his loyalty. As Benji spoke, it only fueled him more for how he felt about his brothers. Dustin's vulnerability lay exposed for all to see, evoking a surge of compassion within Liam. Throughout their shared history, it had often fallen on Dustin's shoulders to bear the heaviest burdens, and this moment was no different. "Until the end, this life hasn't been easy for any of us and we won't let it beat us down without a fucking fight" his face was stone straight but then grew a smirk "We Ares boys know a thing or two about war." This was true as it was in their blood!!!! So whatever the future held for them they would face it together. This camp had seen a lot of war before and it wasn't something that would just go away. It was as natural as something as love in this world.

Petal felt a mix of relief and warmth wash over her as Gael touched her head. His smirk, oddly enough, was comforting. It was as if he were sharing a secret with her, a piece of himself he didn't let many people see. "That makes sense. Powers like yours are a big responsibility," she said, her eyes meeting his. "You know, I've heard it said my mom always told me that powers are just extensions of who we are. They don't define us, but they can help us when used wisely." She paused, watching his expressions closely. Was she getting through to him? "And it's kinda cool to know that you've got this whole other layer that most people don't see. It's like you're a mystery wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in, well....a lot of darkness." Feeling emboldened by Gael's somewhat softer demeanor, Petal couldn't help but tease him a little. She took a step closer and gestured towards the rainbow paint he had smeared under his eye. "You know, that little splash of color actually looks good on you. Ever thought of adding a bit more brightness to your wardrobe? I mean, it could be your secret weapon—no one would see it coming!" Petal had never felt this torn between wanting to know someone more and fearing what she might discover. Gael was unlike anyone she had ever met; the more she knew him, the less she understood him. But that was okay, because Petal had always loved a good mystery. And right now, Gael was the most intriguing mystery she knew. She smirked playfully, her eyes twinkling. "Well, if you're taking a break, and I've got a flag, maybe we should catch our breath together. What do you say, Team Darkness and Rainbows? Shall we seize the day?"

Miro smiled when the girl, who introduced herself as Winnie, asked him about his name, it wasn't that he didn't like revealing that he wasn't American, in fact it was quite obvious too, just... it was strange: sometimes he felt quite marginalized for this, he was happy to know that the girl didn't care, in fact, she seemed genuinely curious and interested. "Yes, you're right, I'm from Russia actually though... I haven't been back there for quite some time" and his heart dropped for a moment, some days, he missed home a lot. He touched the daisy on her fingers and came back quite happy, there was more to think about after all.... "That's a beautiful name, Winnie," and he looked at her, getting the idea of her, she looked just like a good person. "You guessed it! Again! In fact my mother is Aphrodite, well I have some really cool siblings! I love them and I love them so much, they welcomed me when I was just starting out, and then... I look good , even if I don't exploit it or believe in it as much as Levi." and he chuckled a little, thinking of his brother who he admired "But I'm also very happy because I can do things like this" and suddenly he transformed into an exact copy of Winnie and smiled ... what could he do about it? He loved doing this trick. When the breeze picked up and she put the sketch book on the ground he felt entranced by the beautiful atmosphere, and decided to ask her his question: "You're Apollo's girl, aren't you? You have very beautiful features that are easily illuminated by the sun , you would be very beautiful as a model indeed" and he smiled at her.

When they got to Mk's room, Dustin beat her to knocking and when he said he was going to go in whether she was dressed or not, Krystal rolled her eyes and slapped his arm playfully just as he opened the door without even waiting for a response from Mk. Luckily for all of them Mk was dressed and reading once of her magazines. Dustin just as eager to find out what was going on with Mk and Levi, as she was, he demanded answers as he sat down next to the bed, while Krystal made her way to sit down on her little sister's bed next to her. Mk stuttered and tried to play innocent, Krystal rolled her eyes and laughed "Come on now, don't try to play dumb, you know why we are here, spill the beans sis" she says with a smile. Krystal didn't really trust Levi but she never really got to know him either, besides just what everyone at camp knew, but she didn't really get to know him as a person. So, she didn't want to jump to conclusions but at the same time this was her little sister he was messing with now, and she was not about to have some man whore fucking with Mk and breaking her heart.

Krystals nails dug into the sheets as she gasped, she could feel her orgasm build as he asked her to wait for him. Breathing heavily her shoulders pushed against the bed as hard as she could, trying to feel every inch of his cock inside her. That's when he put his thumb to her clit that was so swollen and sensitive that it made her eyes roll back, it should wave threw her body so intense that her moan was mixed with a scream, when she let go. She wasn't able to hold it, and her orgasm hit stronger than it ever had. It must have been where they hadn't had sex in a while, and the buildup just made her orgasm so much stronger. Krystal soaked Dustin's bed as her pussy clinched tightly around his cock. He was still pumping throwing her orgasm, making her body weak, and she moaned happily, as she opened her eyes looking up at him. Biting her lip, she moaned out the words "cum in me, please".

Benji had been meditating in one of the quieter spots of the camp trying to reign in his fiery temper. The tranquility of the forest surrounding him, combined with the sounds of the distant water lapping the shores of the nearby lake, provided a stark contrast to his usual life filled with combat and challenges. Taking these moments for himself had become a routine lately – a way to introspect and reflect on his actions, trying to find balance in a life that always seemed to be teetering on the edge of chaos. It never seemed to work... Hearing Dustin's shout Benji's eyes snapped open, what little serenity he'd been trying to achieve shattered. The surprise quickly turned into a smile though. "Dustin! You always have this knack for finding me when I'm trying to find myself," Benji quipped, stretching his legs out as he rose to his feet. He dusted off his pant. "Just taking a break from the usual. Needed some space to think, you know? Everything's been so... intense lately." He sighed and then smirked, nudging Dustin with his elbow. "So, what trouble have you gotten into today without your trusty sidekick?"

MK's mind drifted back to that wild weekend in New York with Levi. It had been exhilarating, passionate, and completely unexpected. They had shared moments of intimacy and connection that felt like they belonged to a different world. It was a side of her that she hadn't even fully understood herself until that trip. But how could she explain this to Dustin and Krystal? How could she make them understand the complexity of her feelings for Levi? They had always seen him as trouble, as someone who would only bring her heartache. And in some ways, they were right. Levi was unpredictable, and their relationship was far from conventional. MK knew she couldn't expect them to fully comprehend the intricacies of her bond with Levi. Their perspective was colored by their love and concern for her. They wanted stability and safety for her, and Levi represented the opposite of that. MK looked up from her magazine, surprised to see Dustin and Krystal barging into her cabin. She quickly closed the magazine and put on a composed expression, although inside, she felt a knot of anxiety forming. She knew this conversation was inevitable. Dustin's words hit her like a slap in the face, but she took a deep breath and prepared herself to face the music. "Explain? Explain what?" she asked innocently, playing dumb, although she knew exactly what he was referring to.
