Innovating Pipeline Rehabilitation: Pipe CIPP Lining Engineering Design Services as per ASTM F1216

In the dynamic world of plumbing and pipe rehabilitation, Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining stands as a testament to the industry's progress and innovation. Pioneering a non-invasive, cost-effective, and efficient approach to pipeline repair, CIPP lining engineering design services have carved a significant niche in the industry. Adherence to the ASTM F1216 standard, set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, has further cemented the integrity and reliability of these services.

CIPP Lining: A Brief Overview

CIPP lining is a trenchless rehabilitation method that effectively repairs existing pipelines without the need for excavation. This process involves inserting and running a felt lining into a pre-existing pipe that is impregnated with a specially formulated resin. This resin is then cured, essentially creating a "pipe within a pipe."

The CIPP method addresses a wide array of issues, such as leaks, corrosion, root intrusion, and age-related wear and tear, without disrupting the landscape or the daily activities of businesses or households.

CIPP Lining Engineering Design Services

CIPP lining engineering design services employ advanced technology and innovative engineering principles to create effective, long-lasting solutions for pipeline problems. These services are critical to accurately assessing the damage, designing the CIPP liner, implementing the solution, and ensuring successful pipeline rehabilitation.

These engineering design services consist of various steps, such as:

Inspection: Before any design work can begin, the pipe's condition needs to be assessed using closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection and other technologies. This inspection enables engineers to evaluate the damage extent and pinpoint its location.

Design: Based on the inspection, engineers design the CIPP liner considering factors such as pipe diameter, length, material, operating conditions, and the type and extent of damage.

Installation: This step involves inserting the designed liner into the damaged pipe and curing it using hot water, steam, or UV light.

Post-installation Inspection: The final step involves inspecting the rehabilitated pipe to ensure the CIPP liner is correctly installed and functioning as expected.

The Role of ASTM F1216

The ASTM F1216 - "Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by the Inversion and Curing of a Resin-Impregnated Tube," is a globally recognized standard that guides the CIPP lining process. It prescribes the material requirements, resin preparation, inversion process, curing method, and testing techniques for CIPP lining.

Adherence to this standard ensures that the CIPP lining engineering design services meet the necessary quality and safety standards. It also guarantees the end product's durability, structural integrity, and optimal functionality.

Benefits of CIPP Lining Engineering Design Services

CIPP lining engineering design services offer numerous benefits, such as:

Durability: CIPP linings have a lifespan of up to 50 years, making them a long-lasting solution.

Tips for maximizing tube, pipe mill efficiency (Part II)

Finding, Reducing, Eliminating Bottlenecks

The pace at which the strip moves through the mill, from one station to the next—breakdown, forming, welding, sizing, and straightening—sets the pace for everything else. The mill’s reference speed is the maximum speed at which it makes a properly formed tube with a robust, durable weld.

“The limitations often are in the entry and exit areas,” said Nelson Abbey, director of Abbey Products at Fives Bronx Inc. Efficient mill operations can be hampered by material handling and coil joining at the entry end; cutting the product to length and getting tubulars off the mill likewise tend to impose limits at the exit end.

Getting the Coil Into the Mill. If the coils are long, butt welding the outgoing coil to the incoming coil might take place every 15 or 20 min., and the operator gets a break between each one, Abbey said. If the coils are short and take only 5 min. or so to work their way through the mill, the end-joining process is likely to be the mill’s productivity limit. Longer coils mean less frequent mill stoppages and put less stress on the operator, he said.

For some applications, the butt weld serves a second purpose. For long lengths of coiled tubing, which can be miles long, the butt welds are a product feature and must be just as durable and leakproof as the longitudinal welds. Although an arc welding process is traditional, laser technology is making inroads relative this application, said Kevin Arnold, Midwest sales manager for IPG Photonics. The benefits are the same as those for making the longitudinal weld with laser technology, especially the minimal heat input and minimal ensuing distortion.

“The lower heat input and smaller heat-affected zone create a more durable weld,” said Mark Wagner, vice president of sales for Guild International. “A hard, brittle weld is prone to breaking as the joint moves through the mill. The tension can be enormous and often is more than enough to break the weld. When using a laser to join the coils, Guild has found that weld breaks are greatly reduced, and that the line can get back up to speed much quicker.”

“Another issue is the weld bead’s thickness,” he said. “Arc welding processes typically leave a thick weld bead. The additional thickness accelerates the wear on the roll tooling and other equipment, like inline tension levelers, so the weld has to be treated with either manual or automatic milling to reduce the weld bead, so the thickness is consistent. Laser welding doesn’t leave a raised weld bead, so it eliminates postweld treatments such as milling.”

The initial process, making the butt weld, also tends to go more quickly with laser welding than arc welding processes, he added.

Make It, Cut It, and Move It Out. When all is nearly said and done on the mill, the focus turns to the cutoff process. Some products simply take more time to cut than others. Even a product that usually is made at a fast rate and is easy to cut—say, a light-wall, small-diameter tube—can slow a mill down if the final cut lengths are short. The saw has to move at the same speed as the tube to make the cut, return to its starting position, then get back up to the mill’s speed to make the next cut. As the cut lengths decrease, the saw’s accelerations have to become increasingly faster to keep up.

Beyond the cutoff, carrying out finishing as part of the production process can create a bottleneck.

“Flushing the chips out of the tube, facing, and bundling them are additional processes that usually slow down a line,” Abbey said. The problem is that these run in different ways, Abbey explained.

“A mill runs most efficiently when it’s running consistently at a constant speed,” he said. “Finishing operations are start-and-stop processes.” On the surface, the difference is the pace of the mill versus the pace of the finishing steps, but it goes deeper.

“Every line stop creates at least one length of scrap,” Abbey said. Another drawback is the time it takes to ramp up the mill. “You don’t press a button and get back to full speed,” he said. “For typical mills, it can take 10 minutes or so.”

Depending on the system’s design, which often is influenced by limited floor space and obstructions such as building columns, such a connected system might just be inherently inefficient. Designing a generous buffering capacity between processes that run at substantially different rates is a good solution, depending on handling complexity. But if it’s impossible to include a buffer, or if the buffer is undersized, a lower overall production rate is inevitable.

It seems counterintuitive to connect a mill to finishing equipment, but indeed many mills are set up in this way. Depending on the product and how fast it runs through the mill, this setup isn’t detrimental to operational efficiency. For example, among mills designed to make products according to American Petroleum Institute specifications, about half of them can be connected to the finishing system with no effect on productivity, Abbey said. However, many such setups would run faster if they were disconnected.

What are the benefits? Such a setup uses less labor power than a disconnected system, and it takes up a smaller footprint than a disconnected setup, so many tube and pipe producers are willing to sacrifice some line speed and possibly lower overall product rates for these benefits.

On some mills, processes such as flushing and bundling are manual, which can be even more detrimental. In some cases, these end-of-mill processes bring the mill speed down by half, Abbey said. It’s a tradeoff—the company makes a smaller capital investment and brings in less revenue—but it can have unintended consequences. The operators become accustomed to the mill’s pace, and even if the company upgrades to automated flushout and bundling, it can have a lot of difficulty with the return on investment. After learning to do the job at 200 ft./min., the operators simply aren’t comfortable operating a mill that runs at twice that pace.

Changeovers

Selecting the right tooling for the job seems like an obvious first step, but mixups do happen. Mounting the wrong tooling—say, substituting tooling with a modified edge break for tooling with a standard edge break—makes it more difficult to make good product, and it compromises the tooling life, said Warren Wheatman, vice president of T&H Lemont’s Tooling Business Unit. The same goes for mounting the tooling correctly. When tools are reconditioned, the company that did the grinding usually provides a set of bearing block shims for proper mounting. In many cases, the shims get misplaced or their purpose isn’t understood and they are discarded. The tooling can’t do its job properly without the shims.

Getting the tooling aligned is the next step. Automated tool positioning devices are available, but many tube and pipe producers still rely on manual setups.

“Motorized adjustments with position feedback at each pass can help the setup go much faster, leaving only a small amount of manual tweaking to finalize the setup,” Abbey said. The same goes for the settings of the straightener, he said. The only caveat is that the maintenance staff has to be knowledgeable on how every device works and how everything is wired, and the company has to keep sufficient spares of every critical device in its inventory. Otherwise, just one bad component like an encoder can slow the process substantially, especially if used in an automated quick-change mill.

Does a tube producer need quick-change hardware, electronic positioning devices, and other hardware to reduce its changeover time? No. According to Abbey, good procedures and a motivated crew can cut changeover time nearly in half. He cited one 10-in. mill that had standard equipment and no quick-change features or setup assistance of any sort. While most such mills need five to eight hours for a changeover, one company with a motivated crew equipped with well-documented procedures could get it done in three and a half hours.

If a mill can accommodate rafts—subplates with tooling mountings—it can cut the mill’s downtime by a large amount, frequently up to 75%. It still takes time to do the changeover, so the company still needs the labor to change out the tooling on the raft, but it does so while the mill is still running and making money.

Of course, planning goes into this like it does everything else. Michael Strand, president of T&H Lemont, suggests three rafts per mill. While one raft is on the mill and making money, a second raft can be prepped with tooling for the next run. The rafts themselves have a large number of moving parts, so the third raft can be set aside for a teardown, inspection, and repairs if necessary.

“Threading is also a candidate for improvement on some mills,” Abbey said. “When threading a new strip through the mill, it’s common practice to jog the mill, starting and stopping numerous times. Once threaded, the mill is then typically run for a short distance to check the weld and do sizing adjustments, which generates a substantial amount of scrap. Simple improvements in this area can be obtained by streamlining the steps and by including interlocks with the welder so it can weld and jog at the same time.”

“It would generate less scrap if the company that made the welding power supply would change the controls so the mill could jog the material forward, weld, and scarf simultaneously,” he continued. “On large mills this is a necessity, and it really reduces the amount of scrap generated at each startup.”

Bringing It All Together

The essence of tube or pipe mill efficiency hasn’t changed, but in times like these, it’s more critical than ever. The revenue a mill generates while it’s running is always offset by the losses it incurs when it’s not, but times such as these seem to amplify the losses. Steel prices are higher than normal, and some materials simply aren’t available, so keeping the mill running and minimizing scrap are two considerations that are in sharp focus right now.

Best Practices. These industry experts, each of whom has decades of experience in the field, provided informed insights and perspectives regarding best practices:

“Every changeover involves downtime and scrap, and traditionally these are the two areas where tube and pipe producers can make the biggest gains,” Abbey said. “Every mill supervisor needs to study their changeover procedures.”

“It’s important to perform every maintenance action according to the schedule and document everything,” Strand said. Track every action on the mill, including the number of feet of product made by each set of roll tooling during each run, to stay on top of mill maintenance from a big-picture, years-long perspective.

“It’s helpful to use a status board or checklists that show each major step described clearly and concisely,” Abbey said. “Whether it is a changeover or a routine maintenance procedure, such as inspecting tooling, using checklists adds to consistency and efficiency,” Abbey said.

Using automated systems and devices to assist with mill setup can keep changeover time to a bare minimum. Abbey cited one special, automated mill that had its changeovers down to a science, relying extensively on such hardware, and it achieved consistent 15-min. changeovers. In that case, it was necessary to keep operator intervention to a minimum.

“Tube and pipe producers need to be careful how they use the mill,” said Stan Green, general manager for SST Forming Roll Inc. “Many of the materials available these days are much harder than common carbon steels, and the steel producers seem to introduce stronger materials all the time,” he said. Using a mill designed for carbon steel with a 50,000-PSI minimum yield strength to process 80,000-PSI material is going to accelerate the wear on every component on the mill and likely will break something—and sooner rather than later.

Inspections, maintenance, alignments, and yield work together, especially with tooling and roll stands.“The weakest point is the point that moves [out of position],” Green said. He cited a tiny bit of movement, anything more than 0.010 in., as too much movement. “Proper tooling position is important for a consistent process and to maximize yield, but you can’t keep the tooling in the right position if the bearings and shafts are worn,” he said.

Budgetary Matters. Regular maintenance is always important. It’s a critical issue day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. Following the suggested maintenance schedule for every item isn’t more important when runs are shorter and changeovers are more frequent, but these activities are more likely to be delayed or even overlooked during difficult times.

“When times are good, tube and pipe producers hesitate to stop production for maintenance,” said Michael Strand, president of T&H Lemont. “When times are tough, they don’t want to spend the money.” And although many mills are running full-tilt right now, a sign of good times, some of the business conditions are tough—especially the sky-high cost of raw materials and the less-than-reliable supply chains, fallout from the pandemic.

“More money spent on the raw material and more time spent on changeovers means less money and time for scheduled maintenance,” said Dan Ventura, president of Ventura & Associates. It’s not just a matter of spending money, but spending it wisely. It takes high-quality machinery and consumables to make high-quality products, and better investments can pay off.

“When buying tooling, many tube producers work right off the quotes and make decisions based on price,” Strand said. If it’s not a trustworthy tooling provider, it’s impossible to know if the tooling is made to the right design for your mill, made from the proper alloy, and if it was heat-treated properly.

The same goes for the ferrite used in the impeder, said John Holderman, general manager for EHE Consumables.

Few would go so far as to research something that many would regard as a minute detail, but ferrite varies in grade, which equates to its capacity to do its job. To provide the best use of electrical energy, the ferrite must have three characteristics: low losses, high permeability, and high saturation of flux density. For durability, it needs construction methods and binders that resist heat.

The same goes for everything else on the mill. Frugality is one thing, but taking that too far can mean dedicating disproportionate time and effort on repairs and incurring more downtime than necessary as the equipment ages.

Breaking the Speed Limit. If a company does adhere to every best practice, where can it go from there? For those who are prepared, there is one more boundary to be pushed.

“When everything is dialed in, the operator has one more thing he can do to maximize throughput,” Abbey said. “A motivated operator can run the mill a little faster than he’s accustomed to.” Abbey acknowledges that this means the operator has to work outside of his comfort zone, and this isn’t easy, but this is one last area for productivity gains, and perhaps the only way to find out what the mill really can do.

“Well, maybe if you just–”

“Dad! Just–…” you swallowed the rest of the heated statement that nearly escaped your lips, mentally counting to three before glaring back at the man who was breathing down your neck, “do you remember when I was 12 and you had the clever idea of attempting to install that new sink in room 5?”

Already knowing where this story was gonna go, Harvey quietly replied, “…yeah…”

“And just who, pray tell, fixed it after you made the pipes uncontrollably spurt out water, consequently flooding the entire room?”

“…you did…”

“That’s right,” you sucked on another tense breath before continuing, “so, unless you’ve somehow improved that skill since then, which, I’m sorry dad, but I highly doubt that you have, please, just let me handle it alone.”

“…alright, fine,” he ultimately backed off, nearing the basement stairs, “but I’ll be right up by the front desk if you need me.” 

“I won’t,” you called over your shoulder as you redirected your attention to the hopeless pipes, “but thanks.”

Letting the illuminated spot from the small flashlight clutched in your palm guide your vision, you checked each and every rusty tube. 

After too many pokes and prods, you finally found the source of the problem. Stepping over towards the main pipeline you bend down and reached through tickling cobwebs to turn the paint-chipped knob clockwise, shutting all of the water off.

Before your spine managed to straighten back out, you felt your blood begin to boil as you heard the sound of heavy footsteps once again ascending the crooked staircase.

“Dad, please, for the love of god, just–,” you spun around, though the unexpected figure that stepped into the low light caused your fury to fade away in an instant, “oh, uh, you’re not–, uhm, h-hi.”

“Hey,” Pete’s deep voice echoed throughout the dim space, sounding the way that hot chocolate felt. 

“Uh, not that I’m not thrilled to see you here, in my basement of all places, but, um, what are you–, what can I help you with?” 

“Nothing ma'am,” he took a step closer, “it’s what I can help you with.”

“Excuse me?”

“Well, Harvey sent me down here to take a look at something.”

“Oh, did he now…” that was the last you needed in order to lose your patience.  

“Yeah,” Pete’s eyes tracked your form as you riffled through the open metal toolbox and yanked out a wrench. 

“Well,” you huffed as you began to loosen the various hexagon-shaped fittings snug on the pipes spiderwebbing out from the bulky water heater apparatus, the labour of the task presenting itself in your vexed voice, “you can tell my dad that I’m still just fine and don’t need any help!” the tool on your palm then inadvertently slammed against one of the pipes, the clanging and therapeutic blow snapping you enough out of your ire to take a step back. Squeezing your eyes shut a moment, you let out a deep sigh before parting your lips once more to speak, “I’m sorry, it was very kind of you to offer your help, but I’m okay.” 

Fully expecting him to just take off, his stationary stance caught you off guard, “so, the water heater’s acting up?”

“It’s fucking ancient, that’s what it is,” you replied as you returned to twist the remainder of the fittings, “should have updated it long ago, but no, no, that never happened,” you continued to grumble mostly to yourself at this point, “of course it’s much more fun to let me handle it down the line when the hot water outlet is completely rusted over and clogged up to the point of no return, you know, that’s just so much more fun…” your words then faded away as you attempted to turn a knob that in no way wanted to corporate.

Quietly cursing underneath your breath, you tried to put all your weight into it as you strained to turn the stuck fitting. 

But just then, from out of nowhere, you felt the wrench begin to turn, but that victory wasn’t the only thing you suddenly felt. Engulfing your own, the comparatively massive hand of Pete enveloped yours as if it wasn’t even there to begin with, helping you turn it as though the metal was made out of butter. 

Blinking up at him after it finally twisted completely, his intimidating stature seemed even more towering up close. 

“Uh,” you slipped your hand out from under his calloused palm, “thank you…”

“No, problem,” you promptly whirled around to avoid his piercing gaze, busying yourself by riffling through the toolbox without any purpose whatsoever, “so your old man’s not helping you out in renovating this place?”

“Well, he’s brilliant at a lot of things, but those skills in particular have never really been in his bailiwick–, wait…” you kept your back turned to him as you asked, “how do you know that I’m renovating?” 

“People in this town like to talk, a lot,” he breathed out the essence of a laugh, “and that includes your father.”

“Ah, okay…”

Spinning around once again, you kept your eyes steadfast on the dusty pipes, though after what only felt like a second, Pete unexpectedly proposed, “hey, what do you say I lend you a hand?”

“What?” 

“Well,” hands clasped together in front of him, the digits on one of them dug into the palm of the other as he spoke, “I’m no stranger to fixing things, so it might help make it fly by a bit faster than if you try and get through it all on your own.”

Unable to detect if this was just some strange joke or not, you verified, “I’m sorry, but are you legitimately offering me your help in renovating this place right now?”

“Yes.” 

“Seriously?” you bellowed a little louder than you’d intended, earning just a small nod from him in confirmation, “I–…” you blinked back at him, downright dumbfounded, “that’s incredibly generous of you, but I can’t really afford to hire you right now…”

“Oh, I’m not asking you to hire me, just let me help out a bit.”

“Pete, I can’t let you do that, not without any form of compensation.”

“Well, then just pay me in free coffee till it’s done,” he attempted to joke, though it didn’t manage to crack a smile on your lips. 

“This is not funny, Pete.”

“No, it’s not,” he continued, still in a startlingly light-hearted tone, “you clearly don’t know yet just much coffee I tend to drink on average every day,” seeing you not budge an inch, he then dropped the attempt with a gentle nod, “fine, how about we just take a look at a price at a later date? Decide on it later when it’s all done, and you start making a profit again?”

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (or: why the climate movement is failing)

Okay, talking about politics this week, let me talk about this amazing book that you all should read, because it is not that long and it really makes a lot of good points. I found this book through the Philosophy Tube video a couple of years ago.

So, what is this book about?

To put it lightly: It is about how the climate movement is failing over their refusal to use any sort of violence or sabotage. And it is about the ethics of violence.

Which is not only important to the climate movement, but all sorts of progressive movements. Which again brings me back to what I talked about so many times before: Being against a revolution is being against change. And the left in general has a problem with idealizing parcifism to an unhealthy degree.

Let me explain: The left has in general very much drunken the cool-aid to accept that there is no violence happening right now, so using violence against the perceived non-violence is wrong. But that entire idea is bullshit.

Letting people starve, while there is enough food around for everyone, is a form of violence.

Letting people die of preventable deseases, because they cannot afford health care, is a form of violence.

Letting people die in extreme weather, just so that a few people can profit from fossil fuels... Well, that is a form of violence, too.

But left people - especially white, leftists - have very much accepted that non-action can never be violence. So, not giving someone the food they need, cannot be violence in their point of view. So, using violence to act against the system that lets this happen again and again... that is "out of proportion" in their point of view. Because they do not suffer themselves, they do not perceive the violence.

The book talks about how specifically the climate movement refuses to use any form of violence, even just in the form of sabotage, in which no human would ever come to harm. Which is why the title is "how to blow up a pipeline". Because blowing up a pipeline would harm those, who profit from climate change, from the fossil fuels. The book is also about how the climate movement then goes ahead to appropriate civil rights leaders, without really understanding the context they were in. Because they will name Martin Luther King, Ghandi or Nelson Mandela as examples of people who succeeded with non-violence, without acknowledging that all three of those leaders were leaders of a non-violent group that closely associated with a violent movement that aimed for the same changes. And through that contrast - of a violent group and a peaceful group with widespread support - the people in power were forced to make a move to work towards them to some degree.

Now, technically the book involved nothing new to me. Because I thought about this topic - about the ethics and visuals of violence - for a long while now. It also is fitting with the entire French Revolution thing I spoke about on Sunday. Because we see it in the judgement of the French Revolution as well. On how there a) was a peaceful group first, and b) the violence that happened, happened in response to other violence.

And as the book points out: The fossil fuel industry does not care. As a German I know this too well. And I think it is no accident that a lot of the examples of this in the book come from Germany. Our climate movement here is very tame. It is mostly just kids (like people between their teens and early twenties) doing protests in forms of blocking streets and the likes. Yet, the fossil lobby and those in power will call that "terrorism" and will call that one time when folks tore down a fence at the coal mine as "extreme violent behavior". They are doing massive and at times violent police action against those KIDS, who organize the street blockades. Having thrown literal teenagers into prison for at times weeks, before judges intervened clearly saying that "the kids have done nothing illegal".

They do not care that the movement is non-violent. And the movement will not get anywhere, without some group standing in and doing some damage to the most important thing those people can think of: Their base line.

More IRL Lego Lancer!

We played the Tomb of Delios one-shot by Katherine Stark. Some NPC comp / sitrep spoilers ahead.

I used the backs of old trivial pursuit boards for grids, egg cartons, poster tubes, and a big Roomba box + insert for terrain.

I coated the cardboard with this flour and glue paste recipe I found on youtube.

I found a bunch of cheap-ish large lego octogons and walls online for the modular buildings, then greebled them with misc urban details I collected from my local bricks & minifigs bulk by-volume bins.

Our PCs were a Swallowtail artillery (callsign Bandit; an SSC plant in the union auxilliaries), Störtebeker striker (callsign Roadkill, silver-nanite kintsugi'd mechromancer), and Black Witch support (callsign Egret, disgraced princess (gotta be one of my favorite genders)).

The elite cataphract ended up playing trapdoor spider for most of the game; hiding in a magical healing forest (thank u support o7) and grappling PCs back into the forest with it.

Its scariest turn was popping out, structuring the Bandit and destroying his siege stabilizers, and lassoing it back into the forest. Egret came to the rescue and finally did the cataphract in with perimeter command plate/impact lance/crit thrown tactical knife overwatch combo.

The Swallowtail never took any voluntary movement after deploying its siege stab round 1, but between rainmaker knockback, the aforementioned trapdoor spider incident, and allied ferrous lashes, and a few rams, it was pingponged around the map pretty significantly.

"Come out Rainmaker, I just want to talk."

The final threat to the objective was when a bastion clambered up onto the pipeline to contest them. The Störtebeker (whose mini was having trouble standing up on the pipeline) pulled an indiana jones and just shot it down.

For the pre-battle narrative section, I made two 4-step clocks out of lego and a minimap as the party visited various districts of the city. Both were totally unnecessary but I think added a lot to the IRL experience.

All in all, it was a lot of fun! Things that worked well/could be improved on:

The aforementioned mini stability. I should add more baseplates to the minis to making moving and standing them up less finicky.

As cool as the egg carton bottoms are, having flat surfaces is just better. Going to stick with the tops going forward.

The grid ground floor worked great. I should trace more grids onto the egg cartons and larger boxes. I also made a few measuring sticks out of dowels and that was super handy.

Witchdice on phones continues to work well for PC character sheets.

I made a handful of status tokens that we could put next to mechs. They were handy for consumable statuses like lock-on, but less so for memorable ones like exposed and hidden.

We needed more little indicators for misc systems like Javelin Rockets and Iceout Drone.

It was fun to be able to follow up "how do you want to do this" with "you may now destroy the mini".

previous masterlist next

word count: 2.4k

warnings: alcohol (underaged gasp), innuendos, suggestive language, cursing, yunjin says sexism as a joke, jake smacks ni-ki upside the head but that’s basically it lol

a/n: just a cutesy little chapter full of some crumbs of fluff. i don’t really know how long im gonna make this series 😭 also finally some content of all of them together we love!!!! (channeling jungkook for heeseung and sunghoons stance here)

"I NEVER AGREED to this," Yunjin gapes, staring at the large rapids that the lake held, Heeseung attempting to convince her to go tubing. "You said it was like the lazy river things at those water parks, not a whole waterfall!"

"It's fun," He laughs, a hand lightly tugging at her arm while she shakes her head. "C'mon, you said you would. You gonna leave me alone now?" Heeseung pouts, the puppy eyes he gave Yunjin more than enough to be convincing no matter how hard she tried.

You watched from afar, a small snort erupting as you see her nod along without much hesitation. A week in the making, Heeseung and Jay had put together a three-day vacation for the group. Headed out three hours north from campus, they reserved a lot on a camping reservation. Having left so early, much to everyone's dismay, Jay had successfully leaded the two cars to arrive in the morning and find a spot to call home right beside the river which was the main attraction of said grounds.

In a fairly shady spot due to the large trees, it provided enough room away from any other campers that would arrive, a sort of privacy at the end. Truthfully, you weren't the biggest fan of sleeping on rocky ground and having no access to an actual hot shower for the next few days but you agreed with much reluctance. Jay had went as far as talking to Cho herself to ensure you and Ni-ki would have the adequate days off and buying a blow up mattress for your sake.

"10 bucks says they'll hook up by the end of the trip," Sunghoon snickers, his voice breaking your thoughts as you jump slightly out of surprise.

"Maybe not hook up," You shiver at the thought. "We're sleeping in tents, I'd hope they wouldn't especially since I'm supposed to share with her," Grimacing at the thought, you shake your head. "But definitely make out a couple times, Heeseung's obvious as hell,"

"Pretty sure Jake didn't get that memo," Sunghoon nods toward said boy, watching as he was in the midst of setting up a tent with Ni-ki's help. Glancing over, you see how he grouped yours and his things together, presumably setting up for you to share for the next few days. "I'm not worried about them. Jake has no shame though so I'll be sleeping as far away as I can from you two,"

"We're not fucking next to the kids," You defend, gesturing toward the larger tent that would house Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki while Sunghoon laughs at your dumbfounded expression. Shoving his shoulder, you shake your head at the amused look he sent your way. Sticking your tongue out at Sunghoon childishly, he returns the gesture while you make your way toward the two crouched attempting to get the tent secured in place.

"Just nail it into the dirt—"

"This is like concrete it doesn't want to go in!" Ni-ki huffs, the consistent banging of the hammer to the metal pick heard though you couldn't due to the material blocking your view. Jake notices your presence, a small smile thrown your way but you took note of his obvious annoyance. Just as he was about to move to help Ni-ki, the younger boy lets out a loud laugh. "Ah! Ha! I did it! Fucking thing took forever but it worked,"

"Ni-ki," You tsk, the boy standing up and sheepishly peering around the now perched tent with an innocent smile.

"Sorry," He mumbles out. Rolling your eyes, you wave him off while Jake stands up, dusting his hands off on his pants and rolling his neck with a wince. "Is it done?"

"That took so much longer than it should've," He says under his breath, looking around and ensuring it would stay up. "Yeah all good, thank you," Jake calls out while Ni-ki gives him a thumbs up before walking away to where Jungwon and Jay seemed to be messing with the grill.

You pursed your lips seeing how tense Jake seemed to be. He wasn't a morning person, something you've come to realize, thus spending 3 hours cramped in a car full of people so early certainly did a number on him. His patience was thin, Ni-ki not moving fast enough for him seemed to worsen it and although he wasn't outwardly going to say anything, Jake seemed rather spent.

Stepping behind him, you wrap your arms around his waist, your head leaned against his back while he seemed to melt to your touch.

"What're you doing?" Jake lets out a small laugh, one of his hands falling over your own that was along his midsection. He turns his head slightly, attempting to get a glance at you but the height difference only allowed him to see the top of your head.

“Take a break," You mumble into his back.

Jake felt his stomach flip involuntarily, the warmth of your body pushed against his did more in seconds than he liked to admit in helping him relax. Pulling away so he had room to turn, he flipped around to allow you both to face one another. His arms loosely wrapped around your shoulders after yours stayed put at his waist.

"I think this is the first time you initiated us touching," He hums, the giddy smile that made its way into his lips more than obvious. "You love me now or what?"

You roll your eyes. “I barely tolerate you, don’t get ahead of yourself Sim,” You tut, pinching at his side causing him to laugh. “I just figured to distract you before you blew up on one of the kids for being annoying. Is it working?”

Jake hums, nodding along to your words. One of his hands pushed away the hair that blew in your face, tucking it behind your ear but not moving as he gentle cupped your cheek. “Good distraction,” He mumbles, leaning closer to put a chaste peck to the tip of your nose.

Your face scrunches up, the minimal amount of blush making its way to the apples of your cheeks. You quickly turn away to ensure he wouldn’t see, unraveling yourself from his grasp and pausing short seeing how utterly disgusted Jay looked from the opposite side of the area.

“Do you really have to do that here?!”

“OKAY OKAY, I got one,” Jungwon holds out his hands, gaining the attention of the group that sat around the campfire as the contents of his cup sloshed around as he did so. “Cheating or not cheating: the perilla leaf thing that’s been trending?”

Immediately riling up the group, Heeseung and Sunghoon were quick to shout of their ambient no’s while Ni-ki and Sunoo held no problem with it. Since the sun had set and the fire ignited, your group of nine had been gathered around talking about everything and anything. Having been filled up by Jay’s grilling earlier, the causal drinking had begun and thus the conversation topics slowly began to get more heated through debate.

“No, I’m not just gonna let one of you help feed my girlfriend. Basically touching chopsticks that’s weird,” Heeseung shakes his head while Sunghoon points in agreement.

“That’s because you’re overly possessive either way hyung,” Sunoo rolls his eyes, though a small laugh left his lips as the older boy clicks his tongue.

“First it’s the perilla leaf then it’s holding hands and making out behind my back,” Sunghoon dramatically huffs out, louder than usual due to the alcohol coursing through his bloodstream while Yunjin snorts from her seat beside him.

“That’s a crazy jump from a simple dinner encounter,” She snickers while he shakes his head.

“I don’t like it,” Sunghoon says entirely close minded before hitting Jay’s shoulder who sat to his left. “What do you think?”

“I don’t necessarily have a problem with it as long as it’s like a one time thing,” He shrugs, lifting the bottle to his lips to take a swig. “Once or twice okay, and as long as it’s not just specifically between them only. I think as the boyfriend it would be my job to feed her,”

Jungwon hums in agreement to Jay’s explanation. “Yeah me too, one or twice is fine but its technically something that I should do,”

“I don’t think it’s that serious,” Ni-ki pipes in, gesturing around the group. “Especially if it were one of you, we’re all friends. It wouldn’t be something weird or out of bad intention,”

“What if it were Yunjin or I?” You suddenly ask, sitting up from your slouched position in having your feet dangle off of Jake’s legs from your seat. “Is it different if it’s one of the boys compared to us?”

Sunghoon falters, a sheepish smile taking over his lips knowing it was a convicting question. “Well—”

“Sexism!” Yunjin yells out, an accusing finger pointed toward the boy who sputtered to respond.

“No, none of you can do it,” Heeseung shakes his head. “I’m a hater to all, I know you two are girl kissers too so no! I don’t need my only girl friends stealing my girl,” He tuts while you let out a small laugh at the thought, seeing his pouty lips at the complete imaginary scenario.

“Lets ask the actual couple in the group,” Jungwon clears the air, being the main instigator of the topic as he gestures toward you and Jake who had kept quiet, merely amused by the conversation his friends debated upon. “Hyung what do you think?”

You raise a brow as you turn to Jake who sat on your right. One of his hands was comfortably placed on your shins, tracing small circles along your skin as you continued to wear shorts due to the humid air. His other dangled his beer bottle in hand, seemingly comfortable with a slight buzz.

His eyes peer over to yours, amusement lingering through the look he sent you. “She wouldn’t have to have one of you help her if that were the case,” Jake shrugs, a smile quirking at his lips at his smug words. “It’s my job to take care of my girl,”

The boys as a collective being sent into a frenzy by his response. Sunoo and Jay rolling their eyes in disgust by his attempt to seem cool and collected knowing well enough how much of a sulk he tended to be majority of the time. You couldn’t help but laugh as he winked noting your look, Yunjin loudly gagging at the sight but bursting into a fit alongside you.

“___ be honest, does he treat you that well?” Heeseung interjects, looking for your voice in the matter after Jake seemed to drop such a well versed answer.

You hum, deciding whether or not to play along in Jake’s ploy. “So far,” You tease while he merely rolls his eyes in a playful manner. “I can’t say in this particular topic since it hasn’t happened but he does ensure I’m always first when it comes to small acts,” You add on truthfully, thinking back to the amount of times over the past weeks that Jake has seemed to go above and beyond in ensuring you were comfortable and always ate before him.

It was hard to get used to at first, independent thus far and having his help was completely different. But you grew accustomed to it, figuring it was just the way he was raised which earned more brownie points than you’d like to admit. The first time he tied your shoe in a parking lot, your foot perched on his brand new jeans without a care, in particular being the main gesture that caused your heart to flutter even for a split second.

“Ah what a good boyfriend~” Ni-ki cooed, patting Jake’s arm while Sunoo lets out a small snicker. Leaning over to catch your eyes, he added his next words on with a mischievous smirk. “Let me know if he slips up noona, I’ll help you with the perilla leaf instead,”

Your eyes widen at Ni-ki’s words, knowing fully well he was joking and only intended to get under Jake’s skin but it caught you by surprise. Jay, Heeseung, and Sunghoon burst into a fit of laughter at sight while Yunjin, Jungwon, and Sunoo seemed to mirror your expression.

“Yah!” Jake, in a momentary daze, snaps out of his dumbfounded expression and attempts to lean over to hit Ni-ki upside the head but the younger boy moves. “You’re such a brat, annoying me all day and now this?” Tapping your legs to get off of him, you oblige to the silent command as he stands. Ni-ki was quick to leap away, already running around the row of chairs as Jake followed after him. “Don’t run away now after talking all that shit!”

“Now now, play nice kids,” Yunjin calls out, her laughter mixing in with the rest. “Just don’t fall into the lake or trip over a rock, alright?”

“I was kidding!” Ni-ki yells, voice distant as Jake continued to chase him down the dirt road, the dim lighting from the fire being the only lighting around opposed to the few lights further down from another group. “N-no, no it was a joke! I’m sorry!”

There was a loud scream that came from Ni-ki, one that echoed through the air and mixed in with his laughter before their footsteps made their way back to the group. As the two came back into light, Jake moves his chair as close as possible to yours before plopping himself down while Ni-ki trails behind, rubbing his shoulder though his amused expression never faltered.

“Next question?” The youngest boy asks, breaking the air causing Jay to let out a small snort, the conversation topic now moving on with ease.

Silently, Jake pats his legs. Draping yours over his lap once more, you shift to get comfortable, his hands finding way to your shins once again and giving it a slight squeeze. A small smile plays at your lips, sending him an air kiss to rid of the small pout he wore, one that caused Jake’s expression to melt into a grin in an instant.

“Oh! I got one!” Sunghoon suddenly claps his hands, the loud snap gaining everyone’s attention at his bright eyed expression. Looking around, he pauses for dramatic effect only to get a series of heated exchanges upon his next few words.

“Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?”
