Seungmin got an email about his order being ready and asking what address it should be sent to. He stepped away from his friends to make a quick call in Chan's balcony.

"Hello?"

"Yeah, hello. I was calling for your address"

"What?"

"No. I'm not coming", Seungmin heard her exhale and let just one titter leave him. "I am sending something your way. Tomorrow is your birthday and sadly, I can't treat you physically"

"You remembered?"

"I have one hell of a retentive memory", Seungmin quickly stopped wherever her train of thoughts was going to. "So, the address?"

"Yeah. It's the northern province, Haryung-gu district the 58th Street Post"

Seungmin's retentive memory could be a curse sometimes. "Wait, did you just say Haryung-gu?"

"Yeah. Why?"

He blinked. "Oh. Nothing. You should recieve a package by tomorrow. Bye", that wasn't how he expected the call to end but he was so saturated now. Haryung-gu?. Seungmin laughed at himself darkly. He turned around, walking back into Chan's house.

The boys all sat on different sofas, watching Chan's best show with his girlfriend. The best way to spend the Saturday. It wasn't about to end well though.

"Han Jisung"

The boy literally jumped in his own skin, eyes wide, as he looked for the caller. He relaxed at Seungmin standing behind the sofa Chan and Chaeyoung were lounging on. "Yes?. My name?"

"By chance, could you remind me of the place you spent your spring break last year?"

It's been such a long time and no one was on guard anymore so Jisung had forgotten that Seungmin had no idea where he stayed during the time. "Haryung-gu?. It's in the Northern province"

"Bro, what the fuck", Seungmin cursed, coming forward. "You lied to me for a fucking year?!"

The boys became hyper attentive. "What is it?", Chan asked.

Seungmin laughed. "You knew, didn't you, hyung?", he must have been really blind and dumb not to have figured this out for a year. "Hyunjin, Felix, Chan hyung. Yes, the three of you that morning were so secretive and...", he trailed off.

"What are you talking about?", Hyunjin asked, about to get defensive.

"Do you really have the right to ask me that?", Seungmin attacked. "You were all in this together"

"Can you fucking clarify yourself?", Jisung asked, getting pissed off.

"Don't tell me to fucking clarify anything!", Seungmin raised his voice. "I am so mad that you all led me on and kept mute for a whole year and didn't even care to tell me later on. I found out all on my own"

"What is this really about, Seungmin?", Chaeyoung asked cautiously, standing up.

The boy scoffed, looking through his friends. None of them remembers. "Noona, they all fooled me for a year", he couldn't believe it. What was there to tell him?. If they explained themselves, he wouldn't have been mad or anything.

"Who fooled you?", Felix asked. "You mentioned my name and I don't remember doing anything for you to stare at me like I betrayed you"

"Because you fucking did, Felix. Jisung spent his spring break at Daya's place last year?", Seungmin let it out. The boys slowly paled. "Cat got your tongues?"

"Fuck", Chan cursed lowly. "Seungmin, it's n-"

"No, hyung. It is exactly what it is!", Seungmin cut him off. "You all lied to me. I was in the dark for a year. Why didn't any of you say anything?"
