“He told me to send his apologies.” Jimin handed a soda can to the girl before him.

“Eo.” Seulgi answered curtly, taking on her drink.

Jimin took his seat across her. They were seating in front of a convenience store. Seulgi chugged her soda, causing Jimin to panicly shouted, “ya ya ya, drink slowly, Kang Seulgi! It’s not water!”

Seulgi harshly put down her bottle on the table and wiped with her sleeve. “What’s with him, Jim? He was so on fire the other day, why did he suddenly become pessimistic? Lame!”

Calming himself down, Jimin sighed, “Geulsse (Dunno/I wonder why). As far as I know, he’s pretty hasty.” He moved his eyes away, staring into space. “I guess love is a special case, after all.”

Seulgi knitted her eyebrows. “Park Jimin, since when did you become a love expert?” She jokingly threw him a demeaning look. “Don’t act as if you understand.”

Jimin banged his bottle on the table and roared, “I DO!!” causing Seulgi's eyes bulged out in surprise.

“Oppa, you’re here.”

Taemin felt Naeun tugged him closer. Despite being speechless, he heard the stranger girl spoke, “Uh, I should go.”

He looked straight at Naeun who was shooting her eyes big and sharp as the other girl walked back to her group of friends. They could hear them whispering,

"No way, are they together?"

“What the, who is she?”

“You don’t know her? She is—“

The rest was unheard, but Naeun knew they’re talking about her. It brought her down in instance. Little did she know that her puffed cheeks and slightly pouted lips were adored by someone in her arm. Staring at her, Taemin chuckled. He forgot his shock for a sec. So cute!

His chuckle turning Naeun back to him and realized their position, “Ah, mian—“ She tried to pull her hand away, only to be pulled back by him.

“Not so fast.” Taemin stared at her teasingly as a jester smile featured on his face. Flustered Naeun screamed lowly while glancing around, “oppa!”

Taemin titled his head at her, “Naeun-ah?” She looked at him as he continued, “You’re Naeun-ie, right?”

She looked away, slightly pouted, ”what are you saying~” He giggled.

“You can do this?” He said in a teasing tone, raised their linked arms. “Why?”

Naeun, trying her best to act indifferent, answered calmly, “Geunyang (just because). She was pushing herself on you and you looked uncomfortable.”

“I see... “ He nodded slowly. “Then what if I looked comfortable?”

She glared at him, “Heol!”

“Pfft!” As the result of holding in his laugh, a wide grin formed on his face. Adorable!

“Well, now you should take responsibility by being my guide, Miss Son.”

She sent him a glare, causing him to grin again.

Too adorable!

“We’ve been seeing representational art. Now, this is an abstract painting.” Naeun motioned towards the painting they’re heading.

Taemin frowned, “I totally can’t understand the meaning of this kind. There’s no answer no matter how hard you think.”

Naeun gasped, “oppa...”

Taemin turned to her.

“Art is not a problem you ought to solve.” Naeun looked straight at Taemin’s eyes, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She turned back to the painting. “Painting is an emotional
