Following his inspirational speech—everyone was distributed by Jun Pyo's extremely fair hand;

Woo Bin and Ji Hoo

(Poor) Ga Eul and Yi Jung

Jun Pyo and I. Just Jun Pyo.

"Yah, what about Ga Eul, what will she and Yi Jung have to talk about? I still can't talk to him about anything!"

My words had dissolved before reaching his ears. I was practically carried into a car with no clue as to where we were going. The remaining four shrunk into ants in the distance.

It's been silent for a few seconds now. Since he ignored me, I'm not saying a single word to him.

"Yah aren't you going to ask?"

Say nothing Jan Di. State your claim to power. Ignore his words!

"…Why is your head tilted? Do you have a cramp?"

Jun Pyo looks up at the roof of the car-as if anything will be of interest.

"There is nothing there...Aish, whatever."

Oh god….the frustration is making my heart hurt, I sigh in partial defeat which relieved it somewhat.

"Commoner!-Geum Jan Di? -Don't you want to know where we are going?"

"FINE! WHERE ARE WE GOING?"

Oh god. Now he looks wounded. Like I snatched his favourite car away.

He recovers. That stupid grin….

"It's a surprise!"

I feel anger flaring up in all of one second. Aigoo!

"You were never going to tell me? WHY did you make me ask?"

Giant sunglasses spread across his eyes. I can't see the smirk in them, but I know it's there.

"Car journeys are fun when the passengers speak to each other."

"So…Ji Hoo will be Woo Bin's partner in crime today! Have fun you two."

I glance at my "partner" who seems pretty happy. When his arm briefly drapes across my shoulder, I smile. I am more or less content with spending the day in his company, but if I could really do what I want…

I look at Jan Di, openly but unnoticed. She appears to have realised she won't be spending the day with Ga Eul and is understandably upset. Even more so considering there is only one option left.

"Jun Pyo-What is this? You have three of your childhood friends here and you're not going with them? Are you listening? Yah, what about Ga Eul, what will she and Yi Jung have to talk about? I still can't talk to him about anything!"

Knowing she was being ignored didn't stop Jan Di. I almost smiled when she even resorted to waving and jumping in front of him like a child who was too little for him to notice.

As if that were really possible….She's pretty infectious after all.

My last and final chance to address her drove away from me. I will have to wait until later.

We were the only ones who did not take a car. Instead we took a curving path along the edge of a cliff, which overlooked the sea, strolling in silence at first.

I can't take it anymore. I clutched by bag strap for dear life and turn to his profile before speaking.

"Why…was it necessary to be in pairs?"

Sunbae responded as if he just switched on. I in the meantime had been incredibly aware of our surroundings.

"Why? Because Jun Pyo has motives with Jan Di, that doesn't include four guys and her best friend distracting them. Also because I would be walking by myself otherwise. That's not very fun."

Suddenly the awkwardness didn't seem to exist, there was now a pile of questions in my head.

"Motives...What do you mean?"

I stopped and touched his wrist. He coolly turned around to face me. Finally registering the conversation he got himself into.

"Is Jun Pyo going to try something with Jan Di? Aigoo…it is just the two of them alone. And they were in a car..."

I trailed off, expecting him to jump in.

That….a smirk? He's smirking at me? We are talking about my best friend and a someone I barely know!

I felt a weight on my shoulder. He leaned a little closer to me.

"Don't worry. Jun Pyo isn't that kind of guy."

I was still nervous, but there was nothing I could think of to say to that. I knew my next question exactly, but waited a few minutes.

"Why didn't you take a car?"

"Because the walk feels better…don't you agree?"

"Only if it isn't much longer. It's been too long already! Are we going to town?"

He chuckled, my stomach suddenly filled with butterflies, which I did NOT like.

"We're here."

All of a sudden, Sunbae began descending further and further down into the rocks. I found myself watching him rather than following—meaning I was quite far behind when I did manage to move.

Aigoo, these are not the right shoes for this.

Sorry this took so long! If anyone is still with this story I hope this was a good update. Any new comers, welcome to this story I enjoyed updating this a lot so I imagine the gap won't be as long this time.

Bye guys!
