After classes, Shin and Zii were scolded by their teacher. It was around 5 o' clock by then. The three of them headed towards a mountain near their homes. The mountain was clean. There were no snakes or any other animals that could harm them at the foot of the mountain.

"Hey Shin, move faster or do you want me to hit you!?" Zii shouted teasingly while flexing his speed in climbing with a smile.

"You wish! Don't you know that if you speed up your speed when climbing, you'll get tired even faster?" Shin said with a snort trying to justify his laziness.

"Jay, are you okay??" Then Shin looked towards Jay who was at the furthest of the group.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Jay said while trying his best to look composed. But he was obviously having a hard time climbing.

Shin looked at Zii and then they both nodded. Seemingly understanding the thoughts of the other.

"Jay, look behind you! There's a snake!" Shin shouted with a voice full of fear and nervousness.

"Ahh!!!" Jay shouted as he hurriedly stepped to the side. He then suddenly felt two arms wrap around each of his legs. Jay felt himself being lifted into the air as he said in exasperation,

"What the f*ck are you doing? Fuck! Put me down!" Shin and Zii laughed and at the same time, shouted like madmen as they charged towards the top of the mountain.

"Ouch! Put me down!" Jay said irritatedly.

"Relax, pretty boy, we're here," Shin said.

"Don't call me a pretty boy idiot!" Jay replied with an angry expression. But deep inside his heart, he felt warmth. He knew that both Shin and Zii noticed that his body couldn't go on any longer so they carried him all the way to the top. Jay looked at Shin's tired face. Shin wore a smile but he was drenched in sweat. Zii on the other hand, well he was Zii! An athlete! A hike in the mountains was nothing for him. Although he was also sweaty, his shirt wasn't drenched in sweat like Shin.

"Thank you" Jay said gratefully.

"What sort of gayshit is this again?" Zii teasingly said with a laugh.

Shin leaned on Jay and closed his eyes. Acting like he was going to kiss Jay.

"Jay babyy~~~"

Shin said with his eyes closed and his lips curled into an exaggerated kissing form.

"F*ck! Disgusting! Get the hell out of my face!" Jay said while pushing Shin's face away.Zii laughed uproariously at the scene.

"BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA AMP" Zii said while holding his stomach and laughing.The three of them sat down on the grass and reminisced about their past.

"Shin do you remember when we were in grade 3 and Jay sh*tted on his brief?" Zii said teasingly while laughing.

"I DID NO SUCH THING" Jay said. His face was red as a tomato.

"At least he didn't eat a hotdog that was in the bin and had dirt all over it!" Shin rebuked Zii.

"Hey! Even if it was in the bin, it was only for five seconds! The five second rule exists!" Zii said with a glare.

"Are you sure!? There was dirt all over it. Yuck!" Shin said. His face distorted and revealed a disgusted expression.

"Well, Shin cried all day when we were in grade 3 because he thought that a ghost played tricks on his hair and made him have horns..." Jay joined in.

"Hey I thought that was just between the two of us!" Shin replied with his finger on his lips.But just then...

"BOOM!" An ear piercing sound echoed about as the mountain shook. The three of them were blasted away a few meters.

"Shit!" Shin shouted, his face unsightly.

"JAY!!! SHIN!!! HELP!!!" Zii shouted out in fear.
