“I have a question for Jong Kook hyung,” Kwang Soo declared.

Jong Kook looked over at Kwang Soo, “Okay.”

Fishing an eyeliner from his pocket, he flashed the small black object to everyone. His curiosity piqued and given the opportunity, he immediately asked, “Do you apply eyeliner every day? I found an eyeliner on your seat.”

Angered, Jong Kook marched towards Kwang Soo, “Yah!”

“What is this about?” Jae Suk asked.

“Jong Kook, close your eyes.” Kwang Soo asked, leaning forward to inspect Jong Kook’s eyes to check if he had drawn eyeliner on his eyes.

As Jong Kook eyes were eyeliner-free and he doesn’t use that product, his first thought was that Kwang Soo was framing him, he retorted, “Why would I apply eyeliner? Whose is it?”

“You want your eyes to look bigger,” Jae Suk reasoned, supporting Kwang Soo.

“No!” He retaliated.

He knew that his eyes were small, but the physical attributes of his eyes didn’t bother him. That very feature of his was one that defined him.

“It was on your seat,” Kwang Soo insisted.

“He applies eyeliner,” Suk Jin commented.

That eyeliner seemed quite familiar to him, but he couldn’t pinpoint where.

And this is the story…
