Seokjin and Byulyi walked to the barbecue pit.
Byulyi: Jin-ah, how do we start a fire?
Seokjin laughed.

Seokjin: I don't know... I thought you knew?
Byulyi laughed.
Byulyi: No, I don't... Looks like we'll have to use Google.
Byulyi whipped out her phone and did a quick search.
Byulyi: It says to... put the fire starter in the centre... surround it with charcoal and stack up charcoal into a pile until it's almost covered. Then... light the starter and fan it.
Seokjin takes a few fire starter and puts it in the centre of the pit.
Seokjin: I guess... this will do?
Byulyi took a glance and nodded.
Byulyi: We need to slot the charcoal under the grill now though, since the grill is not removable. Did you see the tongs?
Seokjin's eyes widened and he gasped.
Seokjin: I forgot...
Byulyi frowned hit him on the shoulder.
Byulyi: Ya! I told you to get them earlier at the supermarket!
Seokjin laughed.
Seokjin: I guess I'll just have to use my hands then?
Byulyi frowned.
Byulyi: Isn't charcoal toxic?
Seokjin waved her off.
Seokjin: Please, I use charcoal facial washes, which explains my silky smooth complexion.
Byulyi rolled her eyes and shook her head. Seokjin laughed.
Seokjin: It's fine, trust me.
Seokjin picked up the charcoal with his bare hands and started loading the pit with the charcoal. He scrunched up his nose slightly and lifted up his hands up to his nose. He was just about to scratch it, but he realised his hands were all black by now, covered in charcoal.  He looked up at Byulyi, who was busy looking through plastic bags to take out the food they had bought.
Seokjin: Byul-ah, help me a bit!
Byulyi looked down at him and Seokjin showed her his hands.
Seokjin: I want to scratch my nose. Can you help?
Byulyi laughed. She walked over and scratched Seokjin's nose lightly.
Byulyi: Is it better?
Seokjin shook his head.
Seokjin: A bit more to my left.
Byulyi squatted down to be on the same level as Seokjin to be in a more comfortable position and moved her finger slightly to his left.
Byulyi: Better?
Seokjin looked at Byulyi in the eyes. A mischievous smile spread across his face. He lifted up his charcoal-stained hands and smudged them all over Byulyi's cheeks.
Seokjin: Much better!
