-Kai’s POV- We all decided to meet in front of Aerin’s house. Well, of course, it’s also Sehun’s house. I was the first one there since my parents were also away. I really didn’t like the feeling of being alone for too long in our house. It gives me the creeps especially after one of our maids claimed to have seen my late grandfather walking around the house in broad daylight. I helped her and hyung stuff the van with some of the supplies we will need while we were at the rest house that Sehun hyung’s grandparents owned. We’ll be using the camping car that Suho hyung’s mother insisted to lend to us along with their chauffeur who would be driving us to Uijeongbu. “SEHUN!” I heard Aerin screaming from inside the house. Uh-oh! What was going on? I quickly ran towards the house only to find Sehun chasing after her around the living room, threatening to tickle her. They stopped when they saw me standing by the doorway. I rolled my eyes at them, about to leave when Aerin ran towards me, linking her arms with me. “Let’s pick Hee Jin up?” she said to me. I nodded. “Sure.” She smiled at me then took her car keys from the side table by the door. “Sehun-ah, fix the supplies. We’ll be back in a jiffy.” “You’re leaving me here alone?” he said, on the verge of complaining when Chan Yeol hyung arrived. “There you are,” Aerin said to him and I saw him roll his eyes. “Have fun fixing the camping car.” She then looked at me. “Let’s go.” Chan Yeol hyung ran after us. “Where are you going?” “On a date!” I snapped at him then entered the car. Aerin noona chuckled when she saw the shocked look on Chan Yeol hyung’s face. “We’re picking up Hee Jin. Help Sehun with the supplies.” “What?” hyung said. “Chop, chop~!” Aerin said then put on her sunglasses and boarded the car and drove off. After a while, I glanced at Aerin who had an amused look on her face. She glanced at me once in a while until I couldn’t take it anymore. It was generally easy to read what goes through the mind of other people, but not her. She always had that mysterious aura and it was annoying the hell out of me now especially when she was wearing the same look the day Hee Jin and her friend Min Ji approached us. “Aerin-ah, why did you invite Hee Jin-ssi?” I asked. She beamed at me. “I can’t be the only girl there, can I? I insisted on taking her there so there would at least be a distraction. Plus, I really like the kid. She’s a sweet girl.” I nodded. “She is…” That made her jerk her head towards me. “How do you know? Are you close?” she asked me. “She…she’s in most of my classes. More or less, I observed how she was…” That was a close one. I narrowed my eyes at her. “Did you invite her on purpose?” To my utter surprise, she nodded. “I told you. I want a distraction.” “No…I mean, aside from that…” She arched a brow at me as she glanced at me through her sunglasses. “What other reason is there unless…” She removed her sunglasses as she parked in front of a big blue house. She killed the engine, but didn’t make any move to get down from the car. “You like Hee Jin!” she said out loud and I was forced to cover . She struggled under my hold. I guess I was being too harsh, but when I removed my hand from , she was sniggering. I did like Jo Hee Jin, but I never really got the chance to talk to her at all. I knew she figured it out last Monday. “Ha! I knew it!” she said. “Aerin!” I complained. She chuckled more. “Quit blushing, Kim Kong In. You look worse than Sehun when he confessed to me.” “Stop it…I like her, okay, but no one else knows.” “D.O. does.” “What?! How –” I shook my head at him. “I don’t know. I just felt like he knew.” “You didn’t tell him, did you?” I demanded. I’m doomed! They’ll surely make fun of me after this. “I did not. Don’t worry. I won’t tell.” I shrugged. “Thanks, I guess.” She just smiled. Now I knew why Sehun and Chan Yeol hyung were after her. She really was gorgeous when she smiled that way. She honked the horn of her car and soon, Hee Jin was coming down from their house. A lady saw her out of their gate then waved at Aerin. She waved back and got out of the car. I stayed in while she talked to the ahjumma. It must be Hee Jin’s mother. “We’ll be off now,” Aerin said to the lady, bowing slightly then hurriedly came to Hee Jin who was struggling to stuff her bags into the hood of the car. I immediately went out of the car and helped her with them. I saw Aerin sniggering to herself when she saw that. “I didn’t know you were here,” Hee Jin said to me. I just nodded awkwardly. “I accompanied her.” “I see.” She nodded at me then boarded the car. When the door closed, I felt Aerin patting me on the shoulder with a mischievous look on her face. “Good going, kid.” I pouted at her then watched as she went into the driver’s seat. “You coming or what?” “Coming,” I muttered then went to the passenger’s side. We soon arrived at their house. Everyone was there already. Aerin helped Hee Jin with her bags and gave them to me. “Stuff those in the camping car.” I nodded with a grin at her. “Yes, ma’am.” -Sehun’s POV- We got to the rest house at around eight in the evening and everyone immediately started unpacking for the three-nights two-days vacation we were having. There were only three rooms in the house, two of them wide enough to house three people while one was good for two people. I told everyone to put everything upstairs as I set up the grill outside for the barbecue. Chan Yeol hyung came a little later and helped me load the charcoal. We didn’t say anything to each other the whole time and just worked out the dinner. “There!” Aerin said, popping out of nowhere. Chan Yeol hyung and I turned our heads to stare at her. She had her arms crossed with a smirk on her face. “That’s what I was talking about. No fighting. Don’t you think that’s better?” Hyung and I looked at each other then sneered at each other. She shook her head at us and we continued cooking. Suddenly, she was standing in between us, looking at the progress we were making. She placed an arm on either of our shoulders. “Flip those,” she told Chan Yeol, indicating the meat. Hyung
