After spending their day at the aquarium, admiring all the sea animals that they have, they all return back to the house they've been staying at. It's past four when they arrive. They decided to have a barbeque outside the house and have a campfire before they'd have to leave early in the morning the next day.

While Minho is taking care of the food, the others decide to go to the beach one last time. Jisung is staring at his phone while he stays behind with Minho. He bites his lower lip anxiously as he stares at the convo before him. He hadn't noticed the pair of eyes that observed him, his worried expression.

"What's wrong?" Minho breaks the silence as he takes a sip from his beer that Felix had gotten from last time.

Jisung snaps his gaze to the voice, finally acknowledging Minho's presence. "Um...Nothing," he tried to lie.

Minho doesn't believe him at all. He sets the tongs to the side and makes his way to the chair beside the younger. "You're clearly lying, so, tell me what's actually wrong," Minho points out.

Jisung slowly meets his stare, hesitantly. He tries not to falter under Minho's look, so instead he looks away. "Um...I...I think Juwon and I...aren't friends anymore," Jisung admitted, unable to hold back his tongue after seeing the look in Minho's eyes.

Minho flinches, he hadn't expected this. He blinked, trying to process what this meant. Which means, a good thing. A very good thing...Yet he couldn't help but feel bad for Jisung. Jisung was clearly bothered and confused about why this must've happened, and that doesn't seem to make Minho feel as good as he thought it would.

"Why? What happened? What'd he do?" Minho couldn't stop the questions from flooding out his mind into the air.

Jisung lets out a quiet chuckle upon hearing Minho's curiosity. "Why?" Jisung repeated the question, unable to find any answer. "I honestly don't know..." Jisung mumbled.

Minho stayed silent, wondering what was the right thing to tell Jisung now. Reminding him about how awful and rude Juwon was wouldn't exactly help, he was sure of it. Instead, something inside Minho's pockets felt like maybe, this was a good time to show its appearance.
