The sun no longer radiated its complete warmth, as evening would soon announce itself in the next few minutes. Dip the sky in a dark red and thus change the atmosphere. The only sounds to be heard were the water of the whirlpool and the soft music coming from the speakers. Huening Kai had been enjoying the warm water for quite a while, lying in the bubbling water with his arms spread out and his head on the back of his neck. "What's the temperature?" asked the master of the house, who had just entered the garden through the patio door. Yeonjun was dressed only in swimming trunks and was trying to balance two wine glasses in his right hand, holding the chardonnay bottle in his left.

What bad luck would it be if he dropped the expensive white wine he had specially ordered from China?

Yeonjun placed a lot of importance on good, tasty alcohol and was never afraid to spend a lot of money. Fortunately, the clumsy Choi had managed to put it down on the table in time before it would have broken into a thousand shards on the floor.

"Perfect," the boy sighed in the Jacuzzi, closing his eyes with pleasure and letting himself be intoxicated by the hot water. He had definitely needed that, to be able to relax for a change after the exams. If he was honest, he would have also liked to reward Ethan with a stay in Yeonjun's jacuzzi, but unfortunately the said one was not here. The past time with his tutor was still buzzing through Kai's mind. He couldn't help but grin to himself at the thought of it.

Yeonjun, however, turned his attention back to the glasses on the table, took the bottle of wine and a corkscrew, and busied himself with the task of opening it. He often let out a strained sigh while Kai turned on his stomach, crossed his arms on the cold marble and rested his chin on it. He watched with interest as the tall man, dressed only in his swim trunks, fiddled with the expensive bottle. Briefly, he turned his gaze to Choi Soobin, who had taken a few laps in the pool earlier and was now dripping from the pool. So Kai pushed his lower lip forward, exchanged a glance between the host and the swimmer, and asked in a dramatic tone, "When are you coming in?" For several minutes now, the Huening had been shrinking away alone, gradually growing a little impatient with the slight boredom.

"You can see I'm busy," Yeonjun grumbled, holding the chardonnay bottle tightly in his hand and thus gesturing to the glasses vegetating on the table.

Soobin dried his face with the towel and gave the waiting man an encouraging look. "In a minute," he promised him, but the person addressed could not give much credence to this word, for it had already fallen when he had first asked.

Before the latter could reply, however, he was interrupted by his best friend Kang Taehyun.

"Hi ...", he said simply and also had Beomgyu in his slipstream. Together they took the shortcut across the garden.

The mood between the two sourpusses was depressed, you could tell by the expressions on their faces. They probably hadn't spoken a single word on the way here and had merely glared stubbornly at each other. Never would one of the two stubborn people give in. And certainly not one would apologize.
