"Hi, Bae Irene!" Wendy waves cheerfully at her.
"Hello." She greeted her back with a low voice.
"I can't believe you're here with us tonight. I used to think of you as anti social, but I guess I was wrong." Wendy chuckles.

Irene didn't speak any further. Huh! I'm the only one she talks with for a long time! That's one thing I cold boast about.

"What are you smirking about? You look kind of evil." Jimin told me.
"Oh, sometimes I do it without noticing for no reason." I gave an alibi.

Our foods have been served after just a while of waiting.
I took some meat from my food for Irene.

"Irene, try this." I offered. 
"Seulgi, try this." Jimin offered. 
"Jimin, try this." Wendy offered. 

Only Wendy wasn't asked by anyone to try something.
We all looked at each other awkwardly, including Irene.

"You try this.." Irene offers her food to Wendy.
"Aww that was so nice of you!" Wendy caresses her head.

I've never done that before but Wendy already did?! If Jimin just offered me nothing, maybe Irene would offer her meal to me instead. Tsk!

"Your name--" Irene looks at Wendy.
"My name? It's Son Wendy!" She offers her hand for a handshake.

Irene shakes hands with her.
She didn't even do that with me. I'm so frustrated!

Irene looked at me and asked, "Where's the meat?"
I thought she won't accept it!
I fed her my meat. I want to screaaaam!!!!

"Seulgi, here--" Jimin puts some meat on my plate.
"I'm not really into meat so you can have mine." Wendy puts hers on Jimin's bowl. It became a cycle where we exchanged meats, except Wendy didn't get Irene's meat.

"Since Wendy didn't like to try your food, can I?" I asked Irene with my eyes blinking to look cute.

Irene takes some from her food and offers it for me to eat. I can't believe she wants to feed me toooo.
I was just about to eat it but I stopped because it was too hot.

"Blow, it at least. You got me a bit scalded." I said.
"You got me scalded too but did I complain?" Irene raises her eyebrow.

I forgot to blow the meat too before feeding her. Now I'm embarrassed for complaining.

"Okay, girls, calm down and just eat. I don't want to see girls pulling each other's hair. Especially best friends," said Jimin.
"We're not bestfriends." Irene and I told him.
"We're rivals." Irene added.
"You two look too close for that." He said.
"Actually Wendy and I are closer." I said.
"Really? Okay, if you say so." Jimin continues eating.

While walking back to our dorms, we passed by some tents with liquor and grilled meat. I stopped walking, causing everyone to stop too and ask why.

"I wonder how it feels like to drink that and eat grilled meat at the same time. Seems like everyone loves it." I said.
"You mean liquor? I want to try it too," said Jimin.
"A few years more and we can try it." I said.
"How old are you all?" Wendy asked.
"17" we all answered.
"We're all the same, then. We all can't buy it yet." Wendy said.

We continued walking two steps more but Irene's words made all of us stop again.

"It's not like they'll check our year of birth."

We all looked each other, thinking of the same thing, for sure. 

"That's true. We're not even in our school uniforms," said Jimin. 
"Yeah. I also think we don't look so young." I said.
"We'll just give it a try. There's nothing so wrong about that, right?" Wendy asked.
"As long as we won't get caught," said Irene.
"You're really a genius!" I gave Irene a thumbs up.

We sat on one table and nervously ordered meat and soju.

"I'm excited and scared at the same time!" Weny half whispered.
"Even me!" We laughed.

"I'll do the grilling," said Irene.

While she's grilling the meat, we started with the first glass of soju.

"You drink first, Jimin. You're the only man here." I said.
"Okay, here goes my first glass of soju." He poured it himself and smelled it. 
"I think I'll love it." He said. 

He drinks it in one go. 

"Kind of painful for my chest and throat but it was good!"
"Can I go next? I really can't wait, I'm so excited." Wendy said. 
"Sure." Jimin pours the soju for her. 

She gulped and drank it too in one go.

"That was hot! I can still feel it making a line in my chest." Wendy said. 
"Shh.. Don't make it so obvious this is our first time." I whispered. 
"Oh, right. Sorry. You go next, Seulgi." Wendy gives me the glass and pours the soju for me.

I drank it too in one go. 

"Ahh, it was nice. I like it!" I smiled.
"Wow! It doesn't look like you never tried it," said Jimin.

I poured soju on the glass and passed it on Irene.

"Drink it now. A second won't burn the meat." I cause I can see how focused and serious she is on grilling.

She took it but she just gulped a small amount and she didn't like it anymore.

"It's bitter," said Irene.

I took the glass and finished her drink instead. Indirect kissssss!!!!!!!

Chapter 26: Added to favorites! I love it, really. The character development, the story itself, how it started and how it ended, everything. I stayed up all night to finish this, might as well re-read this sooner or later. Wholesome and no scenes (well almost) which made me love it even more. Thank you for writing Notice, Me, Author-nim. I enjoyed reading it. Definitely the one of my tastes in stories. ^^
