hae-yi quickly kicked him in the shin, before turning to the others.

" the sun's about to set, let's start a fire."

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

the group all sat around a bundle of sticks and various other flamable items as hae-yi grabbed nam-ra's small blue lighter out of her skirt pocket. she had forgotten to give it back to nam-ra after the fight with gwi-nam. hae-yi flicked the lighter on and lit up the fire, getting a few noises of excitement from the group. everybody grinned at the warmth from the flames as hae-yi passed the lighter over to nam-ra, who sent her a smile before putting it in her pocket.

hae-yi smiled back before tucking her knees up to her chest and placing her hands out in front of the fire, feeling them warm up from the heat of the amber flames.

" when did you.." hae-yi spoke up, getting nam-ra's attention, " start smoking?"

" since the eighth grade." nam-ra replied, and su-hyeok raised his eyebrows in surprise. nam-ra turned to see su-hyeok's shocked expression and began to explain, " i had no friends, and no outlet to relieve stress."

hae-yi took a slow breath before talking again, " did you ignore us all because you didn't like us?" her question made nam-ra furrow her eyebrows as everybody turned to her.

" i never disliked you guys. i just.. didn't have any friends." nam-ra finally spoke.

" to be honest, i didn't like you." hyo-ryung hesitantly said, " i thought you didn't talk to us because we were beneath you."

" to be honest, there were times i wished you weren't around." joon-yeong added.

" aren't you two close? you're the top two students in our school." ji-min asked the boy beside her, who pushed his glasses up his nose before he spoke.

" that's why i hated her." he continued, " no matter how hard i tried.. i was always second. but it's okay now. i think i was able to come in second because of nam-ra."

" hey, second place is good too!" dae-su told him, " i can't even come twentieth, right?"

he held his fist out to su-hyeok, who bumped it back. hyo-ryung gently punched dae-su's shoulder.

" hey, don't compare yourself to joon-yeong."

" i was just saying!" dae-su defended and turned to the girl, " why do you always jump down my throat when i say something?"

hyo-ryung looked up at him as he raised his eyebrows.

" do you like me?" he exclaimed.

hyo-ryung gasped and cursed at dae-su, hitting his arm repeatedly.

su-hyeok interrupted the pair's bickering by asking, " dae-su, how did your audition go?"

" they told me to lose weight." dae-su sighed at the memory of the k-pop agency turning him down, causing su-hyeok to chuckle slightly.
