"What?"
"Bora told me that that friend of yours is dangerous. You should leave him alone."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5jTnyaMmW
Jin-ah frowned. Why would Bora tell him that? Jin-ah knew that she couldn't change what people thought of her, but that did not mean she could stand her friends being called bad things. Jin-ah clenched her teeth together and took deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Why do you say stuff like that? Why is it such a big deal that I hangout with him?"
"He's dangerous. Don't you see?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsGOxoVhpM
"I'm fine with him being a part of my life. He helped me a lot and he knows a lot about everything. Plus, he's super nice, so I can't imagine how many other people like him," Jin-ah paused. "But I guess you can't even relate. You don't give people chances."
Kang-dae didn't answer her immediately. Instead he leaned forward towards her, putting his chopsticks on the edge of his bowl as he gazed at her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jnyykhwi
"...You're so naive. No wonder why you're friends with a delinquent." he muttered.
"I will talk to whoever I want, Kang-dae." she glared, taking her spoon and eating her food. "You know nothing about me."
"I know more than everyone else."
"No, you don't."
Kang-dae smiled smugly before going back to eating.

Do-yun and Ae-ri were in a deep part of the woods. Normally, there'd be people there camping. For now though, it was just them. Every living animal around them was silent, and the only sound that they could hear was the breathing of each other. Finally, Do-yun decided to break the silence.
"Ae-ri-"
"Excuse me? What's my name?"
"...Master. Teach me your ways!"
Do-yun got on his knees, sliding his hands together, practically begging. Ae-ri chuckled. For the meantime, Ae-ri had been teaching Do-yun how to enhance his fighting skills.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuNbWAbftd
While she wasn't very skilled in martial arts, she did have basic self defense skills, as well as her father's training. When she saw someone attack her mother, she would defend her by fighting for her life.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JCIf6b6G0
Her parents weren't the type of people who would teach her anything. They were strict, and only focused on their duty.
"...Alright! Give me 200 push-ups!"
"Yes ma'am!"
SUNDAY
The next day, Jin-ah was thinking of going to the beach. So, she decided to plan a trip to Seobin Beach. Besides, there was a hotel near there anyway. Jin-ah texted her friends. She invited Kang-dae, Do-yun, Ae-ri, Bon-hwa, Kyong, and Binna. Jin-ah organized their contacts into a whole group chat on Instagram.
As Jin-ah watched her app, a notification appeared on her screen:
Bon Bon: Yo, Jin-ah. Where you off to today?
BOSS: Going to the beach today. What about you guys?
Puppy Kyo: We'll be there in fifteen min, okay?
Goddess Binna: We already left. See ya!
DAE: You all text too much. Let's meet up at Jin-ah's apartment.
Delinquent: Okay, but who's paying for the whole thing?
Ae-ri: Shouldn we ask our parents?
Bon Bon: It's okay. Binna's rich
Goddess Binna: ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
Bon Bon: mb babygirl
Goddess Binna: Shut up
BOSS: So we'll meet up at my apartment?
Puppy Kyo: Yeah, get ready with your stuff guys

Jin-ah set her phone down, going to her bathroom to take a shower.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkIPlyMyOR
She put on some casual clothing before walking downstairs.
"Good morning, mom."
She greeted.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65hxJnnkix
"Morning, baby." Her mom exclaimed. "Breakfast is almost ready. Your dad's already gone to work. Make sure you clean up after yourself and brush your teeth, okay? Your father has to come home early tonight."
"Mom, well...I decided to go on a trip with my friends. I think we're gonna stay there for like three days."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pphYewufu
"Let me guess. You want me to pay?"
"Please.." Jin-ah sighed while giving her best puppy eyes. "It'll just be for three days."
"Fine." A smile appeared on Jin-ah's mother's face. "But only three nights, alright? And if you feel tired or sick, call me, okay?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3hlk7QG71
"Okay."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwQJQEYE8T
"Bye, honey." She hugged her daughter before leaving.
~
At 5 o'clock, they met outside Jin-ah's apartment building. The group was in the car, with a...man driving.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC0nePsHAQ
"And who's car is this?" Jin-ah asked Kang-dae, who was sitting in the passenger seat.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhQuUjFGYK
"It's rented, I think. Just get in, Jin-ah."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbW63Xf8k4
"Yeah! Sit next to me!" Ae-ri squealed.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyKfNfHtMo
"Sorry, she's already taken next me." Kyong said.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMip1LHz1
"Hey!" A blush spread across her face.
"So, where are we supposed to go?" Jin-ah asked, as she sat in the car.
"Four Seasons Hotel," Kang-dae explained.
"There's a beach around here. Want to check it out?" Binna asked.
"How does that sound?" Kang-dae asked.
"..Sure. That's fine."
~
The group had already make a reservation for room. One room for Ae-ri, Binna, and Jin-ah, then one room for Do-yun, Kang-dae, Kyong, and Bon-hwa. The others would have the other room.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKch2ZEjgR
Everyone entered the hotel with bags and looked around. They found themselves walking around the lobby. It was pretty packed, with people hurrying to one place and another.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc2eDdyjLD
The group squeezed through the crowd with their luggage. Once the front desk was sure they had made a reservation, the group made their way to the elevator. The group arrived at two rooms. The girls quickly got into one room, and the boys into the one next to it. Soon enough, the boys began to strip away each of the shirts and pants they wore.
"Wow...your muscles are huge. Are you a weight lifter?" Kyong asked, gazing at Do-yun.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMCKKYktBh
"Huh?! Of course not. It's all muscle mass because I work out." Do-yun replied. He was quite defensive.
"What about you?"
Kyong chuckled, taking off his shirt to reveal his toned abs.
"I barely work out, but when I do, it's either running with my dogs or just doing squats or sit-ups."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UgkjoI93g
"You're really fit." Bon-hwa added.
"Thanks. I try to do a little bit of weights every now and then to maintain my body." Kyong nervously chuckled. Kang-dae laughed quietly, getting his stuff out of his luggage.
