as all fifteen entered the small ice cream shop, the owner's eyes lit up in delight. it was unclear whether or not it was because he loved customers, or the fact that he knew a lot people were going to buy ice cream at once. however, the group still settled down at the several tables scattered around the room. the members all split up, occupying around 8 or so tables. each table had their own group talking about their own thing, but there was one table of people who were more eager to eat the decadent frozen treats more than the rest.
the eight youngest members scurried to the assortment of flavors, pressing their faces on the cold glass that separated them from their bliss. renjun, who raised his head from the glass, peeked at naeun, who marveled at the flavors in front of her.
"naeun, what's your favorite flavor?" renjun questioned the girl to his right.
naeun, turned to her left, facing the boy next to her. "cookies and cream of course."
snorting in response, renjun immediately critiqued his friend's preferences. "that's unexpected, cookies and cream is such a boring flavor."
"NO IT ISN'T!!" mark yelled, obviously offended, "cookies and cream is the best flavor ever."
"what's your favorite flavor then, renjun?" naeun asked.
"cotton candy of course."
naeun giggled at the childish response as she walked to the lady at the register, obviously ready to get herself a cup of ice cream. after staring at through the glass for quite some time, she settled her indecisiveness. she made eye contact with the employee before starting to order her share of dessert. "can i have a small cherry garcia?" she asked the employee who nodded and started scooping the bright red ice cream into a cup. carefully taking the treat, she thanked the cashier and approached her bright haired friend.
"i thought your favorite flavor was cookies and cream." raising his eyebrows at the cup naeun held, renjun was obviously being judgmental.
"it is, but this flavor reminded me of your hair." she casually answered before talking to her other friends who still haven't decided what they wanted. on the other hand, she gave renjun a heart attack. if it was possible, his cheeks burned with the same red of his hair and apparently her ice cream. what kind of reason is that? renjun, told himself that he thought it was weird, but he secretly loved it. he could easily fool himself, but he could not fool jaehyun, who caught a sly smile creep up renjun's face.
"what a little punk." he mumbled barely audibly at the scene he witnessed before him.
his friend yuta, looked at him obviously confused. "did you say something?"
"nope."

the group of friends stayed in the ice cream shop for two hours until they decided to retire home. naeun, who picked up her stuff from the table, heard her older brother curse under his breath.
