“Just what did you eat today?” Seungwan sighs as she follows her energetic friend as they hop off the bus they rode from their building to… a somewhat deserted neighbourhood. Creepy. She thinks as she looks around, it seems peaceful but still creepy. Creeped out, she pulls her jacket closer to her as if that’ll help her feel less creeped out and it didn’t so she scoots closer to Seulgi who was busy with her phone, texting. Not that it was such an odd thing for Seulgi to be this active, okay, maybe a little so it intrigued Seungwan. Though usually not the nosy type, since she has the right to know why she was here and what Seulgi was planning, she takes a peek at her phone. The hamster’s eyes suddenly widen when she sees her messaging Soojung about sneaking into someone’s home to take a dip in their pool. Sure, she’s had her rebellious times but that was back in Canada and she wasn’t part of a rising kpop group. So she felt a little nervous, “We’re so getting in trouble for this, Seul…” she starts, gently poking the girl on her side to catcher attention. “Like get in jail for trespassing…” Seungwan tugs at the hem of her jacket this time, still unsuccessful she sighs. I guess there’s no stopping you. Seungwan knows that once Seulgi is set to doing something, whatever it is, the slightly older will do anything to make it happen. And tonight just had to be her lucky night, another sigh leaves her lips. Slowly, she felt herself almost drifting back to sleep until…

“Seul!” Jongin greets the familiar figure standing by the nearest lamppost; he immediately jogs towards the two Red Velvet members, engulfing Seulgi in a hug, slightly lifting her up from the ground. Seulgi squeals, still not used to this much skinship with Jongin even if they consider each other best friends. She wasn’t used to skinship in general but living with the girls made her learn, especially with Joohyun unnie. She gives him the hug he wanted just so he’ll put her back down and once he does, she rubs her cheeks, as if it’s possible to rub the small blush on her cheeks. The usual Seulgi makes an appearance, shy and cute when it comes to skinship. Jongin only chuckles, then gives the seemingly sleepy Seungwan and pinch on the nose, “Wakey wakey Seungwan-ah” he teases her before a hand hits the back of his head. Soojung gives him a glare, “You idiot, are you trying to blow our cover and get us in more trouble?” she scolds him for saying Seulgi’s name that loud and hugging her like that in public, in the street, not that it was even busy, the streets were empty. That’s because they’re in the somewhat rich part of the neighbourhood, but not rich enough to have security cameras everywhere.

The two bickered for a bit, Seulgi, Sehun, and Jinri cheered like it was some sort of fist fight. Thankfully Seungwan finally woke up from her sleepy state, just in time to pull the two away from each other. Sometime she doesn’t know how and why she even hangs out with them (other than the age factor), they get all rowdy and that’s just not her and probably Seulgi too. But after a few weeks of staying with them, she finally realizes she’s bound to be their mediator, the referee as they call it. “You two, it isn’t the time to bicker like a married couple.” Seungwan hisses, each hand holding onto the other’s wrist to keep them away from each other, she wasn’t mad but it really wasn’t the time to be shouting or scolding. The neighbourhood was pretty much dark now, only lit up by some of the lampposts and the moon itself. It was like the moon was giving them full support as it illuminated the night, making it easier for them to see. None of them brought any bags, just as Seulgi has instructed them.

Once Krystal and Jongin settled down, they all gave Seulgi a questioning look, yet their eyes twinkle the same way Seulgi’s does, that excitement, the rush of knowing they might get in trouble for doing this. But really, isn’t that what makes things even more exciting and worth it? But Seulgi knows they won’t get in trouble for this, she just feels it and so she tells her friends just what exactly they were doing. The boys howled at the idea, high fiving each other before getting hushed by the girl’s glares. Boys will be boys. Krystal rolls her eyes, then looks at the three other girls who knew exactly what was in her mind and they gave her the look of agreement. One, the boys were happy they finally get to do something rebellious. Two, the idea came from Seulgi. Three, they’ll get to see the girls in nothing but their underwear. That’s probably a little erted, but boys will be boys. Not that they were exactly interested in one of the girls, they really just can’t help it. Blame their hormones. The girls didn’t have to worry though, knowing the two well they wouldn’t do anything too stupid. “Seulgi, you’re a freaking genius.” Sehun laughs and gives the bear a pat on the back before going back to Jongin who had a big grin on his lips.

Soon the six of them started to scout around the neighbourhood, until Jinri and Soojung finds the perfect pool to jump into. The pool was fairly far from the house itself, with a big backyard and no signs of dogs and of course the fence was barely taller than Soojung. With a text, the four others went running towards them, slightly out of breath but still jumpy with excitement. They all started to climb to the other side, first Soojung then Jinri, Seulgi goes next and Seungwan follows --- with the help of the boys, hoisting her up and Seulgi waiting for her on the other side, she hops down, hand linked to Seulgi’s for support. “Thanks” Seungwan smiles, feeling embarrassed she had to be helped, now she remembers a good reason not to spend time with them. I’m so tiny next to them. She always thought that when they spend time, because she really is the shortest among them. With her hand still linked to Seulgi’s she follows her close to the pool, the light from the moon illuminates on the water and on Soojung’s milky skin--- Soojung was already undressed, leaving her underwear on of course, the plain black bra and looking definitely y on her, Seungwan couldn’t help but stare a bit before Seulgi catches her attention by letting her hand go and undressing herself. Seungwan wasn’t a big ert but her eyes follow the way Seulgi’s shirt goes up and reveals more skin, and besides it wasn’t like she hasn’t seen Seulgi . Just tonight felt different, it must be the moon. Yeah. It must be. Seungwan says to herself and averts her eyes, only to see the boys standing next to her looking at what she was looking at earlier, she couldn’t help but feel the urge to punch both of them but she doesn’t.

“Stop staring!” Jinri calls out to them as she finally shimmies out of her shorts, revealing her cute strawberry printed , which she totally rocked, she still looked attractive and not childlike. The boys only laugh and start peeling their shirt off. Jongin’s tanned body was attractive and Sehun’s doesn’t disappoint too, milky and slightly toned but nothing like Jongin’s. Soon the guys were down to their boxers and ran towards the pool, jumping in, the splash was loud, but right now no one really cares. Soojung and Jinri follows the too, another loud splash and she was awoken from her own thoughts.

“Jeez, you’re slow tonight.” Seulgi, now only clad in her underwear stood right in front of the gaping Seungwan. “You’re so cute.” The taller one smiles at her, walks closer and places her hand on Seungwan’s waist. It must be her imagination but Seungwan swears she felt Seulgi’s fingertips on her taut stomach, she bites back a whimper. Because God knows that will make things awkward. Seulgi might think she’s some sort of ert. Thankfully Seulgi only came to help her undress seeing that she was the only one fully dressed. “Come on Wan-ah” The devil, in the form of Seulgi throws her shirt to the side, fingers ghosting down her sides before reaching for her shorts. In an almost practiced movement (it felt like Seulgi’s done this countless times. Duh. She undresses herself), she s Seungwan’s shorts and tugs at it, not forgetting to slip her finger teasingly under Seungwan’s waistband before she runs off to jump into the pool with another big splash.

“Seungwan! Hurry!” They call out to her as they all wait for her in the pool, all soaked, with a grin she kicks her shorts off and runs to jump in the pool, landing right beside Seulgi who held her by the waist once she emerges from the water. “Awesome!” She grins widely at Seulgi who only laughs at her facial expression. Soon everyone was splashing water at each other, thankful she didn’t accidentally drink the pool water like how Sehun did as Jongin and Soojung decided to jump on him.

Seulgi watches at the side, how the three rowdy ones continue to ignore Seungwan’s pleas to stop or at least tone down a little because they after all just sneaked into to a strangers house for a free dip in the pool. Her eyebrows furrows when she notices Jinri was missing, she looked around only to jump a little when she felt arms wrap around her waist and a plush body press against her back. “Hey Seul.” Jinri’s usual cheery voice she uses on tv wasn’t present, just the ordinary Jinri who she met years back, this makes her smile—forgetting the way her skin flushes at the contact and her ears all red too. “Jinri.” The smile never left her lips, the hug from the slightly younger one kept her warm in the coldness of the water and that makes her lean back against the other. “Missed you.” A hint of somberness could be heard in her voice, Seulgi doesn’t miss that. She may be known to be a little dull at noticing people but definitely to people she loves and cares about. “I missed you too. We all did.” Her hands slides down Jinri’s arms that now wrap tightly around her, until her fingers gently tangles with the others, fingers entwined. “I’m scared.” Voice shaky as she nuzzles at the crook of Seulgi’s smooth neck, this only made the older’s skin grow redder and Jinri’s hot breath on her neck didn’t help at all. Seulgi’s mind is about to go into an overdrive if she doesn’t do anything, so she gently pulls away from the other and faces her. Hands now cupping those cheeks, slightly wet with tears? She wipes them with her thumbs before leaning in to kiss those tear streaked cheeks and Jinri’s closed eyes. “You don’t have to be. We’re here, always.” She smiles warmly at Jinri, who soon mirrored her smile, a small blush on her cheeks at how unusually mature and serious and touchy Seulgi was. Jinri’s eyes twinkles, and Seulgi sees the stars in them, “Thanks.” Jinri gives her lips a peck, too bad for her Sehun catches this when he suddenly appears beside her, originally planning to surprise her but the kiss happened and a big stupid grin appears on his lips then he teases them. The bear’s ears went redder, embarrassed of the stolen kiss and because Sehun just had to see that. Seulgi glares at Sehun, though her glares were never effective because she was too cute so she gives him a splash in the face before swimming towards the others. Sehun however does recover quickly and catches up with her, their eyes meet and they both knew that they’re racing each other to the other end of the pool. And like all races they’ve fought, the condition is, loser does whatever the winner asks them to. And Seulgi is definitely not losing, not right after getting caught kissing or rather, being kissed by Jinri. She knew exactly how Sehun’s brain works, so she swims hard, harder than she’s ever done before only to lose in the end. Seulgi was breathless, so she leans on the cold tiles of the pool to catch her breath.

The rest of them crowding over her, wearing the same teasing look-- Darn it, Oh Sehun. He’s told them already, so she stands up straight to see Jinri putting Sehun in a headlock, but back to the three little devils. “Sehun’s just being stupid.” Seulgi tries to laugh it off, pushing past Jongin who was wiggling his eyebrows. “I didn’t know you swung that way Seul~” The water on the pool barely reaching his chest, he catches up with Seulgi and slings his arm on her shoulder. “Oh please, I wouldn’t be surprised.” Soojung jokes, “We all know Seulgi has a soft spot for Jinri.” Soojung huffs, as if she was jealous only to have Seungwan cling to Seulgi’s free arm, “Yah, you never let me kiss you~” She puckers her lips at Seulgi who only pushed her face away from her. “I don’t want your cooties.” Seulgi deadpans at the younger only to have the three burst in laughter, “And you want Jinri’s?!” Seungwan laughs even louder, it’s a miracle the owner of the house wasn’t waking up at the commotion they’re causing…maybe no one’s home. Soon the three were singing to Seulgi and Jinri swimming in the pool, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! only to have the blood rushing up Seulgi’s cheeks again, she splashes them with water and jumps on them and that definitely stopped the teasing.
