“The patbingsoo was so good! I’m already craving for more!” Yoona exclaimed.

“Me too, it was so yummy~” Taeyeon agreed, as the group carried snacks, drinks, tables and chairs to make themselves comfortable at the rooftop in preparation for the fireworks later on. Leeteuk did not join them after dinner as he still was not done with his assignment.

“Hey there’s no one here! It’s a good thing that no one noticed this spot, except the great me~” Taecyeon sang his own praises.

When it was almost time for the fireworks, the five of them went over to the railings to have a closer look. “Hey why isn’t it coming yet? It’s at 8pm right?” Junho asked.

“Wait for it, it’ll come. Trust me!” Taecyeon said confidently.

“The wind feels good though, it’s one of the coolest breezes I’ve felt since the start of summer!” Taeyeon said, closing her eyes with a content smile on her face.

‘Everything feels right now… fireworks, the atmosphere, everything. If I don’t confess now, I’m such a coward!’ Wooyoung thought as he mustered his courage.

“Taeng.”

Before Wooyoung could even say anything, the sound of fireworks filled the air, successfully stealing Taeyeon’s attention away from him. The five of them searched for the fireworks they expected to see but there were none in sight.

“Ok Taecyeon, you punk!” Junho said, before putting Taecyeon in a headlock. Yoona also started tickling him and soon enough, Taecyeon ended up on the floor with tears rolling down his cheeks because tickles are one of his weak spots.

Taeyeon just laughed at the three of them and their antics. “We have another choice! I can just bring the fireworks here!”

“Huh? How?” Taecyeon asked after finally recovering from Yoona and Junho’s attacks.

“We found some in Leeteuk’s dorm earlier when we were cleaning! I’m sure he won’t mind. Don’t you think that not able to see any fireworks this year is too depressing?” Taeyeon smiled and turned towards the exit.

‘Wait…. I can’t let Leeteuk and Taeyeon be alone!’ Wooyoung thought.

“Taeng! I’ll go with you.”

“Nah it’s okay, don’t bother! I’ll be right back!”

“No, I want to come with you.”

Taeyeon gave Wooyoung a weird
