"I think Friday's party killed Jooyeon and Eunwoo.", Gunil laughs as we all set our stuff down at the same bench on the gazebo in the rose garden.
Instead of the usual nine people here, it's gone down to seven.

"They had almost three or four plates of cake, what did they expect?", Eunmin laughs as she opens up her lunch she had just bought from the store before classes had begun.

"Min.", Jiseok calls out as he passes me half of his sandwich, "has your mom already left?", he asks.
I nod my head as I take a bite from his sandwhich. Seungmin then furrows his eyebrows.

"Where's your mom gone to?", he asks as he tries to peel his orange.
"She went on a two week long cruise for her friend's retirement party.", I sigh, "that means I'm currently responsible for Kijae and whatever stupid things he does."

"Isn't Kijae sixteen now?", Jungsu asks with a slight frown. I nod my head with a defeated look on my face as I remember all the dumb and immature stuff Kijae had done these past few years.

When he was fifteen, he set the fire alarm off because he wanted to cook noodles, yet he burnt it.

When he was twelve, he was having a small dance party with Heejae and when Kijae's favourite song came on he danced a bit too hard and pinched a wall in the ceiling.

When he was nine, he somehow locked himself out of his bedroom. We still don't know how that happened.

Lastly, when he was six, he was trying to learn how to do a backflip on our trampoline, but he broke the trampoline and got his legs stuck. We had to call the fire brigade to help since we didn't want to do anything which could cause Kijae to be in more pain, or even embarrassment.

Now that he's sixteen. and is able to do more things, both Heejae and I are scared for our lives, and even scared for the house itself.

"I'll come over after classes today and help you and Hee out.", Jiseok smiles as he finishes his sandwich half, then taking a bite out of mine which was still in my hands. He and Hyeongjun then stands up. "We'll be right back, we need to meet up with a professor real quick."

"We won't be long, maybe five minutes max.", Hyeongjun smiles as they both jog off to wherever.
Meanwhile, the others were looking at me weirdly as I continue to take small bites out of the sandwich.

"What're you guys looking at?", I furrow my eyebrows. Eunmin then scoffs as she points to the part of my sandwich were Jiseok had taken a bite out off.

"Are you sure you guys aren't dating? Because him taking a bite out of that was a bit too unnatural.", she laughs as she continues to eat her caesar salad. I shake my head.

"You're thinking too much of it.", I laugh. Gunil them clear his throat out from his rice bowl.

"He also goes over to your place and sometimes stays overnight.", he points out, "the romantic tension between you guys is real, trust me."

"Guys, leave them alone.", Seungmin frowns as he finishes off his wrap. "Jiseok doesn't catch feelings that easily, be realistic now."

Ouch, Seungmin. That fun fact about Jiseok hurt me..
