The spine chilling winter was finally melted away to a cool spring dew, the woods became a lot more bearable for both killers and survivors alike, causing both groups to ease up on the multiple layers of thick clothing.

The entity decided to bring in seasonal clothing for its puppets to wear for spring. Jake was wearing a rather cozy outfit; a heart pattern pajama set with luscious locks of waves. Claudette couldn't help but to shyly admire her long time friend/ crush as she was wearing a blush colored outfit, her top had a slightly lighter pink colored heart pattern on it as her blush jeans made her feel both warm and cozy.

It didn't take long for any of the survivors to notice how Jake and Claudette had feelings towards each other. Both new survivors and the survivors who've been around could see that they were rather fond of each other. Some feel sympathetic towards the duo for finding love in a hopeless situation while others desire for a peace that both of them have with each other.

From the way they were always together, the way they sneaked glances at each other when the other wasn't looking, or even how Jake always sacrificed himself whenever he was in a game with Claudette, or how Claudette was always healing Jake with the most gentleness and care.

That was also known within the killers. Some of the killers thought that the both of them were perfect for each other while others were frustrated with how they didn't notice how enamored they were with each other. Ji Woon was in the middle- he thought that they were perfect as a couple and annoyed by the lack of awareness both Jake and Claudette had.

The odd friendship he had with Claudette was rather a curveball for the entity's expectations. Ji woon always had a secret soft spot for Claudette, from seeing her interactions with her teammates during trials. The jaded kpop star sees the look of adoration that both Claudette and Jake have for each other. It frustrates him to see how oblivious they were towards each other.

Ji knew he had to do something about it for his own sanity and the sanity of other killers and survivors. He knew that talking to the other two original survivors Dwight and Meg would be a waste of time for Ji woon. After close observation with multiple trials and how both Jake and Claudette interact with other survivors, he's found the perfect person to help him.

Jake was rather good friends with the paranormal investigator, Haddie- her name was. She would be able to help him get Jake and Claudette together. It took Ji woon a hefty promise to Haddie to allow her the hatch for the foreseeable future for the paranormal investigator to help him set the date up.

Both of them decided that the clearing in between where the killers lingered and where the survivor camp would make a perfect location for a romantic picnic for Jake and Claudette. It took both Ji woon and Haddie a lot of collaboration from killers and survivors alike to set the quaint picnic date.

A blanket from the garden of Joy was used as some of the plates and utensils came from Ormond and Haddonfield. The entity was feeling rather fair, pitching in with some food that reminded both Jake and Claudette of their lives before they were abruptly taken.

Haddie wrote notes to the both of them to meet her at the location of the picnic under the excuse of wanting them for different reasons. Ji woon was hidden with Haddie behind a couple trees as they watched Jake and Claudette walk towards the clearing, surprised to see that in place of Haddie, there's a simple picnic set up.

Claudette feels the butterflies flutter in her stomach as she reads the small note on top of the toolbox- turned picnic basket that Jake was reading. She doesn't notice the faint pink flush on the tips of his ears.

"I'm guessing that Haddie didn't really need our help from the looks of the picnic basket."

They could hear Jake tell Claudette before helping her down to sit over the blanket. A grin spread on Ji woon's face as he watches how Jake obviously sat beside the smaller woman, wrapping his robe over her shoulders.

"Everything looks good. I guess we should enjoy the lunch made for us?"

Claudette shudders from the bashfulness of being so close to Jake as she takes out the meals for them to eat. Haddie smiles at how cute and bashful her good friend and the girl he loved as she looks at the kpop star, seeing him watching the both of them.

Everything was going well as they saw the both of them moving closer together. The soft caws of the crows echoed the woods as Claudette looked up to Jake. Her gaze lies at his lips. Jake knew that the botanist never really liked direct eye contact, he wanted her to be comfortable around him.

Her face was peaceful as Jake swallowed the bite of food he ate, gaining the sudden courage to tell the beautiful woman he loves his feelings for her.

"You know, I always loved you Clade.."

Claudette had the look of shock when she heard Jake's sudden confession. Everything started clicking for the botanist, making everything make sense to her. This confession explained a lot of his actions throughout their time in the realm.

From all the hits he's taken for her, the sabotaged hooks that saved her life multiple times, all the way to the random trinkets he's given her that he thought she might've liked. He even showed her how to quiet herself when she's injured during trials.

It made her aware that she was in love with the lone survivalist. Remembering all the times she healed him after a chase, all the lessons she taught him about the botany around the camp. Claudette Morel was in love with Jake Park.

The silence from Claudette caused Jake to feel a wave of anxiety, thinking that he's probably screwed up by telling Claudette how he felt about her. He gave her a few moments to gather her thoughts, trying to not assume anything before she gave him an answer.

"I love you too."

It took a lot for Claudette to utter those four words. Jake smiled in response to her confession. He felt elated that she returned his feelings. Claudette moves over top of Jake, hugging him. Jake hugs back- his hands gently touched her upper back, welcoming her arms around his shoulders.

It took all of the familiar kpop star's restraint to keep his cover and not tell Jake 'it's about damn time.' in their mother tongue and to congratulate Claudette. Haddie quietly smiled, happy that two of her good friends were finally together for what seemed like an uncomfortably long time.

'Mission success," was unknowingly the thoughts that Ji woon and Haddie collectively thought before attempting to sneak away from the trees to leave the now newly happy couple alone.

What both the infamous kpop singer and the recently arrived paranormal investigator weren't aware of was how the lone survivalist already knew that they were watching him and Claudette but decided to let them have their fun with setting the two of them up as a couple. Smiling to himself, Jake gently held Claudette in his arms as she ate the rest of her meal.
