I.

A while later, Gunil sent a message in the band's group chat, urging everyone to come down with their coats and blankets for a spontaneous bonfire. He wanted everyone to relax and bond after the long day.

vocalkingsu: GUNIL-HYUNG??? HELP???

drumlord_g: guys, shut it, just come down in 20 minutes

seoknroll: alright alright

The group made their way to the beach beside the hotel, the sound of the waves growing louder as they approached the shoreline. They found a perfect spot near the water and began setting up. Blankets were spread out, and Jungsu and Jiseok took charge of building the bonfire, expertly stacking wood and kindling.

Within minutes, the fire crackled to life, casting a warm glow over the group. The atmosphere was light and relaxed at first. They chatted about their day, laughed at the little mishaps during their hike, and shared snacks from their rooms.

Despite the relaxed setting, the boys struggled to implement their plan. Seungmin seemed to instinctively keep Minhee close, always involving her in conversations or activities. "This is harder than I thought," Jiseok whispered to Gunil, glancing at Seungmin and Minhee. Gunil nodded in agreement, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Jooyeon, always the strategist, leaned over and suggested, "Maybe we need to split them up for a bit. Any ideas?" Hyeongjun, munching on a marshmallow, pondered for a moment before replying, "We could start a game or something that requires partners. Then we can pair Seungmin with someone else."

II.

The group quickly agreed, and Jungsu took the lead, standing up and clapping his hands to get everyone's attention. "Alright, everyone! How about we play a game? Maybe some charades or something fun to keep the night going?" Minhee's eyes lit up at the idea.

"Charades sounds fun! I'm in!" she exclaimed, not noticing the exchange of glances between the boys. Seungmin nodded, still holding Minhee's hand. "Sure, sounds good to me," he said, his usual calm demeanor unchanged. The group quickly organized themselves into pairs, deliberately pairing Seungmin with Jiseok and Minhee with Jooyeon.

The game began, laughter filling the air as they tried to guess each other's ridiculous acting. Despite their efforts, Seungmin still managed to stay close to Minhee, often turning to her for guesses or involving her in the charades.
