“So what are you saying?”

“I’m saying it's already July, and I don’t want to waste my summer stuck in the same area for two months. There’s a lot of different things and places to explore in this city, but I’ve never had the guts to go out and see them. Not alone, at least. I don’t know what I can do to make this summer count.”

Soojung turned to face Jongin, her grin forming bigger and her eyes lighting up. “What if we explore this city together?”

Jongin had to take a second to respond. “Are you serious?” He chuckled.

“Oh, it’ll be so much fun! We can show each other a new place every week!” She squealed. “And besides, there’s no better way to spend the summer than with a new friend.”

Her last statement left Jongin silent. They really were friends at this point, weren’t they?

A/N: This is the result of combining my love for the West Coast with one too many Wong Fu Productions shorts. I know it's a little late to post a summer-themed story, but I've been meaning to write a kaistal fic for months now. Keep in mind that this is NOT a romance, though they do get pretty darn close. Hope that doesn't turn off a lot of you readers. But anyway, I wish you all the best of luck for the start of a new school year, and enjoy!

(Another thing: at the beginning of each part, there will be a link to a playlist that you can listen to while reading. If you want to listen to it, right-click on the link and select 'open link in new tab' so that it won't open on the same page as the story. Just a little technical thing - now let's move on, shall we?)
