Suddenly, Bon-hwa popped up right behind Binna, putting his hands on her waist.
"I took her to dinner!" He shouted proudly, looking down at Binna. "She hasn't eaten any since this morning."
"When did you take her to dinner?!"
Jin-ah screeched. They couldn't believe their best friend had the balls to kidnap Binna.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcT6pV7390
"It was late yesterday so she didn't eat breakfast. I thought it would be a good idea to take her somewhere nice, so she can get some fresh air."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmNliCFYA
Ae -ri, Kang-dae, Kyong, Jin-ah, and Do -yun all stared at Binna wide eyed, speechless.
Binna placed one hand on Bon-hwa's head.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYMqy6cHQr
"Thank you." She thanked. He smiled and leaned closer to her ear. "Anything for you. I'll always be by your side." He whispered sweetly. His warm breath caressed her neck. Binna blushed and hid her face in her hands, clearly embarrassed. The others watched the two interact lovingly and fondly.
"What happened between them?" Do -yun asked Jin -ah.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98HIzXfdon
She glanced over at Binna then smiled slightly.
"I think it's pretty obvious." She replied.
"Are they going to break up or something?"
"They're not breaking up." Ae -ri interrupted. "It's more like....they're trying to mend their relationship...or something. Hold on, they're not even dating!" She gasped.
Everyone laughed lightly, but no one could deny the duo being very affectionate with each other.
"Oh, well, if they can make it work, it's great." Said Jin -ah, and everyone agreed.

Ae-ri glanced over her shoulder and made eye contact with Kyong. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile before looking away quickly.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUlCAMojWe
The rest of the night went without much incidents. They decided to watch a cheesy horror movie after finishing eating popcorn. Ae-ri sighed, standing up.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdZ6BlnLu5
"I'm gonna go get some air. "
Ae -ri announced m She started walking towards the door, before glancing at Kyong. "You coming?"188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkpqk3PIIB
Kyong nodded. "Wait for me outside."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQ73dS1k3
Ae-ri smiled. "Okay."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd11FcfuCB
She walked outside, closed the door behind herself, and leaned against the wall. She inhaled deeply as she felt her heart beating fast inside her chest. It was almost pounding hard enough to leave a bruise on her chest. Every time she thought of Kyong, her heart would beat faster.
Suddenly, the hotel room door opened next to her and she saw Kyong walk out. He looked at her and he smirked.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNTrKVn9O8
"You're so lonely that you asked me to come with you." He teased.
Ae -ri rolled her eyes at him playfully and shook her head.
"Don't flatter yourself too much."
He stuck out his tongue. Ae -ri punched his arm and he pretended to be hurt.
"I heard there was an underground pool here," she said. "Want to swim?"
"Sure, it's one way to entertain me."
Kyong took her hand. "Let's go." He led her across the hallway and into the elevator.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6jBsuI3ex
Ae -ri's face flushed red at the sudden contact, she looked up at him shyly.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG7dcwtt3T
The elevator doors opened and they stepped out. Ae-ri led him to a beautiful swimming pool, filled with different colored water. There were also several lounge chairs laying nearby the pool.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpumWaKAeUD
"It looks beautiful." She commented.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthStI6F4f
Kyong glanced over at her and smirked. "It is."
Ae -ri sat down on one of the loungers and motioned for Kyong to sit next to her. He obliged and sat down beside her.
"Did you bring your bathing suit?" She asked.
He shook his head. "I can just swim in my boxers."
Ae -ri bit her lip. Her cheeks grew redder at the idea of Kyong in only his undergarments.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohcX2C9a9K
"That's fine." She nodded.
"I mean, it doesn't bother me either.." She trailed off when she realised she wasn't thinking straight. What's wrong with her?! She mentally scolded herself. Kyong gave her a knowing look, a sly smirk forming on his lips.
"If you say so." He chuckled and then stood up. He removed his shirt and his pants, throwing them somewhere beside the pool.
Ae -ri stared at Kyong's muscular chest, wondering why it was so attractive to see him this way.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkDclC6BQZ
When Ae-ri realized her mistake, she averted her gaze away from him. Ae-ri couldn't help but blush whenever she caught glimpses of his toned body.
Kyong smirked and then proceeded to dive inside the pool and came back up with a gasp. He swam up to Ae-ri, who only had her feet in the pool.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1m6aW6de
"Why won't you change? You can't just swim in a T-shirt." Ae-ri nodded.
"You're right. I'll go change."
Then she left Kyong swimming in the shallow part of the water, and walked towards the changing room. Ae-ri came back wearing a blue bikini and sat on one of the lounge chairs right in front of the pool.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgJRSSafEg
After a few minutes, Kyong finally arrived to join her. As soon as he noticed her sitting there, he frowned and proceeded to get out of the pool. He sat next to her, tracing his fingers down her thighs.
"I hope I'm the only one who gets to see you like this."
He spoke, staring intensely at her face. He then wrapped his toned arms around her waist.
"Hey, Ae-ri. Can I have you?"
Before Ae-ri could even react, Kyong tightened his grip on her waist and threw her in the pool.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyw5SyMFcr
Her eyes widened, and she splashed water everywhere. After getting used to the cold water, she surfaced again.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM1ob1dUvU
"What the hell?!" She exclaimed. "Why'd you throw me in the water?!"
He grinned. "It was getting way too boring."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3MrLznY3f
She pushed him slightly with her hand.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbshUI5Iqsq
"I can't believe you."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15fePWtRbp
She then grabbed a hold of the edge of the pool, and pulled herself up. She stood there, soaking wet and shivering.
"You're lucky we're friends." She glared at him.
He smirked and then grabbed a hotel provided towel and wrapped it around Ae-ri's shoulders.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mHT49Gfq4
As she dried off, Ae -ri glanced up at Kyong, smiling at him. He smiled back.
"Thanks." She thanked sincerely.
He shook his head. "No need to thank me. That's what 'friends' do, right?"188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFtB1sadD6
Ae -ri nodded and smiled at him.
"We should call it quits for tonight," he suggested. "They're probably wondering where we went. Besides, I'm getting kinda cold."188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG2lwS4bLF
The duo dried off and changed into their clothes. They quickly made their way to the hotel room.
