“Yah! Why are you guys screaming?” Jie laughed.

“Are you sure you’re 22?” Daesung asked, making Nyan and Jie laugh.

“Yes, well, not until December that is,” Jie chuckled.

Taeyang surprised them by suddenly singing, “naiga manh-ado eolyeoboineun yeoja nan geuleon yeojaga johdeola”

Then, he translated it for her (which was no need), “A girl who looks young even though she's old. I like that kind of girl,” and winked at her.

Remembering that’s the lyrics of his song “I need a girl”, Jie laughed. “YongBae Oppa, I can’t believe you just did that!”

“We could either,” the other boys said in sync, with surprised/disturbed faces. Again, making the girls laugh. ‘My god, I’m laughing too much!’ Jie thought.

“Yay! We’re the same age!” Seungri grinned, giving Jie a high-5. Giggling, Jie gladly returned it.

Suddenly, Top leaned over the table and shocking Jie by started pinching my cheeks, “Aigoo~ such a cute agi!” he cooed. That made the others laugh. Wow, that’s unexpected.

“Jagiya!” Jie teased while my face still in Top’s hands. In result, he jumped back, releasing my now sore cheeks.

“Omo! Did she just call me Jagiya?”

Everyone laughed, except Nyan.

“Ka, what did you say?”

“I called him ‘honey’ since he called me ‘agi’, baby…or was it babe?” I explained to Nyan, grinning in satisfaction that I was getting the hang of understanding more.

She giggled, “that’s a good nickname for you, Ka. “Agi”” she stuck her tongue at me.

Jie groaned, “Please, not another nickname”

“Heh? Why?” asked Daesung.

“Yeah, agi. Why?” asked Top teasingly.

“Boy, jagiya. I didn’t know you were such a tease.”

“Oh, you don’t even know the half of how unexpected he can be,” Seungri laughed.

Jie laughed, “Anyways, I have a lot of nicknames. Even I don’t remember most of them. Somehow, people think I’m so easy to be nicknamed.”

“Like?” Gd asked curiously.

“Umm, “Little Odd”.”

“Odd?” GD asked with a raised eyebrow, clearly confused, like the others.

“Yeah, Odd. Like weird. Strange.”

“Why would someone call you “Little Odd”?” asked Daesung.

“Because she’s 150cm tall,” teased Nyan, making the other laugh and Jie smacking her. “Ouch! Stop with the harassments, please!” she pouted.

“No, I mean why “Odd”?,” Daesung laughed.

“Well…because I can be pretty weird sometimes. Oh, and I’m 154cm, thank you.” Jie glared at Nyan, who stuck out her tongue at Jie.

“Like how weird?” SeungRi asked suggestively. “Ouch! Hyung!” SeungRi whined looking at Top.

“Don’t look at her like that,” warned Top, who smacked the back of SeungRi’s head.

“I was just kidding,” SeungRi pouted. How cute! The others looked unconvinced, though. Looking at him in warning.

That made Jie curious, she looked at Nyan, who was a bit blushing. Jie nudged her, she looked at Jie and leaned in to her to whisper, “Something about him in a scandal early this month.”

Jie laughed and gaining curious looks from the boys. “Really?” Jie whispered back. She nodded and shrugged it off. “Man, Nyan’s ability sure can be uncomfortable sometimes,” Jie chuckled at her thoughts.

“What are you laughing about?” SeungRi asked, looking a bit uncomfortable.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Jie laughed. “So, SeungRi, how good are you?” Jie grinned, wriggling her eyebrows suggestively. This made the boys choke on air, surprised by her behaviour. The girls laughed at their reactions.

“That’s one of the reasons why she “little odd”,” Nyan laughed.

“You have to stick around me long enough to know more of the reasons.”

“Yeah, but you might get more freaked out or traumatised with her if you stay longer.” Nyan stated, who received another pinch. “Ouch!”

They laughed. “So why not hang around us some more?” suggested suddenly GD.

The girls looked at him in surprise. Even the other boys were surprised. “You serious?” Nyan asked excitedly.

“Why not?” said Taeyang after a while, smiling with his smiling eyes. Jie looked at the others, who nodded in agreement.

“Can we, Ka?” she asked Jie excitedly.

Jie looked at her, who looked like she was going to jump off her seat. Jie sighed,  “Alright. Sure.”

That night, The girls were back at the hotel. Bored, they went at the hotel’s swimming pool. Jie couldn’t swim, so she stayed near the short end and just float around.

Jie thought back on what had happened that afternoon. They laughed a lot with the boys that afternoon, maybe from the sugar rush of eating too much ice cream. Top and her started being hyper and acted like whiny kids, making the others laugh and maybe a bit annoyed. Then the boys got a call from their manager, so we went our separate ways. Just in time, because people were starting to crowd and noticing them. Before leaving, Jie got her salary from the owners, and bid them farewell with hugs and well greetings. It’s really unbelievable that that actually happened. Jie laughed at the thought.

“Seriously, Ka. You should really learn to swim with me,” Nyan puffed beside her after extensively swimming laps. “That way, you wouldn’t be so chubby,” she teased while poking Jie’s tummy, that’s hiding under a big t-shirt and making her squeak.

“Hey! I’ve tried learning, you know. I ,” Jie explained, leaning her back on the poolside in the water. "I even look ridiculous swimming"

"Your can save you from drowning at least," she teased, refering to the time she swam, her was out of the water like a bouy. Jie glared at her cousin and splashed her water as Nyan laughed. 

"Anywho, that’s because you lack commitment,” she splashed water back at her. 

She looked at Nyan. She was wearing a one-piece swimming suit and swimming trunks, that didn’t reveal too much. While, she was in swimming shorts and a big blue t-shirt that had a hood. Why a shirt with a hood? She grabbed the wrong shirt.

“Don’t remind me,” Jie sighed, splashing back at her.

“Why? It’s true anyways,” she propped herself, laid her head sideways arms crossed on the poolside and closed her eyes. “You tend to change your mind a lot. Especially with obsessions, like one minute you love a boy to death, the next minute you could care less. ”

“What am I suppose to do if I’m like that? ...Sometimes I hate your ability”

Nyan laughed, “That’s why you’re single, Ka”

“So? I’m not going to bother with love if they hurt me. Better if I shut down, than feel pain. Might as well ignore them, right?”

“I hope you’re not talking about us.”

“Huh?” Jie turned and they looked up seeing Young Bae squatting over them. He was wearing a cap and swimming trunks, and shirtless (which isn’t surprising at all).

“Eh? Young Bae oppa?” Nyan asked surprised.

“Looks like we’re staying in the same hotel,” he smiled, sitting on the pool edge. “Who would’ve thought we’d be hanging out sooner than expected, eh?” he grinned.

Jie chuckled, “Yeah.” she looked around, “So, where are the others?” she asked, looking up at Taeyang.

“Oh, they’re in their rooms, but SeungRi will be coming. He was too slow, so I came here first,” he explained. “I didn
