"Beach?!" JiYong exclaimed, almost spilling the cup of juice in his hand. He quickly apologized and sat straight up. SoRa chuckled at his reaction while SeungHyun squinted his eyes in disbelief.

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?" SeungHyun asked back with his arms crossed. 

"I mean, it might dange-" JiYong stopped when he saw SoRa's childish smile. He sighed and then smiled. "Alright, I'll go too." With that, SoRa and SeungHyun high-fived each other, though it was actually SeungHyun raising his hand out and SoRa reaching her hands out to cup his. "BUT!!!" JiYong interrupted, pulling apart the hands. The couple looked his way in a curious matter. "We'll take everyone else along. And I don't know when I can take my next off-day. I have to talk to my manager first."

SeungHyun translated the proposition to SoRa in his newly learnt sign language as their friend patiently waited, drinking the juice he almost spilled. SoRa seemed to have understood, turned toward JiYong, and gave him two "okay" signs. JiYong smiled and returned two thumb up.

"Beach?!" DaeSung, and SeoNam chorused, DaeSung with his upper body leaning almost completely over the register counter. JiYong laughed at their reaction. 

"I know, it sounds a little dangerous," JiYong agreed, calming them down. "But we're still not sure when exactly we'll go since I need to first talk with my manager about my schedule. They wanted to go with everyone, so I'm going around inviting people."

"Wow, JiYong sshi, you must be busy even on your off days," SeoNam chuckled. JiYong chuckled along bitterly. 

"I just can't leave them alone, you know," JiYong said, his expression turning sentimental. DaeSung nodded greatly.

"I agree. You never know what SeungHyun hyung would do to SoRa noona if they were left alone." DaeSung nodded with his eyes closed, not noticing JiYong and SeoNam shaking their heads sideways in amusement. 

"Beach?!" YoungBae and SeungHyun turned around in unison. JiYong laughed even harder this time, as this was the third time the same response was given, including himself. He gave the same clarifications as he did to the two workers of the music shop. YoungBae and SeungHyun nodded along.

"Those two must be really looking forward to it," YoungBae said, dipping the window cleaner in soap water, then pulling it back up. He started cleaning the window, the other two chasing the movements with their eyes.

"Yeah, I wish I had recorded SoRa's reaction when I agreed. She was smiling so wide!" JiYong explained, chuckling at the memory.

"Oh no," SeungHyun suddenly said, cupping his cheeks with his hands. JiYong and YoungBae looked his way, uneasy. "If I go to the beach, all the girls are going to go crazy for me. Oh no, what should I do??" YoungBae, dipping his window cleaner in the water again, pulled it out in a manner that splashed some water on SeungHyun's face. "Hey!! You can't do that to your boss!!" SeungHyun complained, wiping the water away.

"Sorry, my hands slipped for a second, right, JiYong sshi?" YoungBae replied without even looking his way. JiYong immediately agreed with a straight face.

"I don't think you need to worry, SeungHyun sshi," JiYong assured. "If anything, all the girls will go crazy for the other SeungHyun, so you won't have to worry a single bit!" He smiled, earning a big laugh from YoungBae and a pouting face from SeungHyun.
