*****

After some small talk all four of us ended up buying another round and moving to a table to sit together.

We finally started talking as a group for the first time and I thought it was going really well. We were learning some things about each other, like Chan producing his own music and Hyunjin making beautiful pieces of art.

Finally seeing Chan up close I noticed things I hadn't before, like an eyebrow ring hiding behind his blonde hair, a very faded scar on his cheek, and a tattoo on his wrist peeking out from his sleeve.

The boys were beyond humble when they spoke, but I couldn't help but feel like they were hiding something.

I still wondered what it is they did for work ... why they took off in a speeding vehicle like maniacs and where they were headed in such a hurry.

My eyes went back to Chan and fell to his hands that were intertwined on the tabletop.

His knuckles were torn up, like he had been punching something or someone. Nothing fresh but it was definitely recent.

I tried to think back to earlier today, his hands clutching Roxy's many shopping bags. There were no wounds.

My eyes widened and trying to hide my discovery I quickly brought my drink to my lips, inhaling it

My eyes widened and trying to hide my discovery I quickly brought my drink to my lips, inhaling it.

I turned myself towards Hyunjin, seemingly innocently, but now I was examining him head to toe trying to find an anomaly similar to the red knuckles on Chan.

I had to stop for a second and laugh at myself, feeling tipsy and realizing how crazy and intrusive my thoughts were.

Hyunjin glanced to me, he was in the middle of speaking and thought I was laughing at what he was saying.

*K* "Sorry." I quickly said.

"I just uh ... thought of something from earlier." I tried to excuse myself.
