I was next to Soobin, all of us sitting at a picnic table together. It was Yeonjun's birthday, and Yeonjun had the pleasure of inviting all of us—yes, including Beomgyu—to his birthday cookout. I was helping Soobin cook, trying to get away from the tension at the table.

Yeonjun and Beomgyu kept staring at each other, and even with Yeonjun's silly-looking birthday hat, the painting of this event was sour. They haven't said any words, but my eyes keep glancing between them. Beomgyu hasn't started any fights with me yet—but there have been at least a total of five this week. However, every time Yeonjun tried to steal me away by the thin strands of my hair, Beomgyu would grab my hand, somehow thinking he saved the day again.

These days, his kisses would just be because of Yeonjun. I don't think any of them were out of pure love.

But somehow, I still loved him.

I perked up when I felt a sharp burn on my finger, instantly taking it off the hot grill. Soobin slightly gasped, catching the attention of the four men at the table. "Hey, are you okay?!" He whispered, grabbing my hand before inspecting the burn. "You held it on there for a while, my gosh..."

Well, Choi Soobin, if I was okay, would I be on the verge of tears? Mhm, yeah...

I simply nodded, grabbing my finger as I inspected it. It looked like it would blister, but I guess I got too lost in my thoughts to care. At least the meat was ready. I could eat and read literature books until my head hurt. "Who got hurt?" I heard, causing me to shove my hands in my pockets. I winced at the burn, trying to smile despite the growing ache. I saw both Beomgyu and Yeonjun walking over, trying to spot who got hurt.

So, immediately facing Soobin to help me out, he saw the panic in my eyes. He widened his own, almost snapping his fingers as he hissed. Beomgyu and Yeonjun looked at their friend, seeing him hold the palm of his hand. "Ow! I hit the grill on accident...don't worry—just a burn!"
