Park Chaeyoung watches the couple in front of her in their dining table, waiting for the whistling cook Lisa to serve the food. Taehyung kept playing with the helm of his shirt, while Jennie's eyes follows her finger as it scrapes Taehyung's cake icing off of its bread, gently leading it to her lips.
In her strong Australian accent, Chaeng stops the silence. "Why are you acting like I caught you doing something bad?"
Jennie slowed down her actions with the sudden quick flashback on her head. She was kissing Taehyung during sunrise as her birthday gift, something she did not plan but just felt to do at the moment. They were both getting into it, seemingly hungry for each other, their slow pace gradually being faster as she felt Taehyung's tongue trying to gain access to her mouth. She was more than willing to let him in, reciprocate... when suddenly a click of a phone camera made them flinch. As they separate in shock, they looked back to see Chaeng in pajamas, holding her phone on the right hand, a lollipop on her mouth, and eyes barely open. "Sorry for that sound. I'll give you the photo evidence later. But stop eating each other in this divine dorm. But happy birthday, Annoying Taeng." Then walked to the kitchen. It was then Jennie and Taehyung realized what they were doing to each other.
From then on, the couple was red of embarrassment. When Lisa woke up and volunteered to cook breakfast and saw the two red faces, she started singing "Red flavor! I'm curious, honey." Silently, Chaeng jokes, "You should be really curious, Lisa. You don't know what I just witnessed."
"Are your fingers, clean, unnie? You ran them through his hair, he came from outside."
"Stop it!" In Jennie's shock, she immediately covers her face with her hands, without thinking she had icing on her fingers. Taehyung jolted, and immediately but gently grabbed her finger to wipe the icing with his handkerchief, then her face.
"Aren't you being too much, Rosie?" Lisa finally arrives, with three plates on both hands, all with toast, boiled eggs, mayonnaise and salt. "I've been getting a strange vibe with the three of you since I woke up. I can't ignore it now."
Chaeng shakes her head, while Jennie, still trying to hide her embarrassment and not knowing a right defense place, she hides her face behind Taehyung's shoulder.
Taehyung, still cleaning Jennie's finger, finally had the courage to look up. He was met by two pair of curious eyes, Red Flavor finally got right the curious part. "Actually..."
"I'll explain, Chaeyoung..." Jennie slowly rises up to sit properly, but Chaeng did not let her finish. She looked at him with a glare, making him look down to Jennie's finger again.
"Kim Taehyung. What happened to the special place for a first kiss?"
"What?" Lisa, shocked with what she just heard, looks at Jennie who looks at the two like a puppy, clueless as to what was going on. Taehyung, finally done with Jennie's finger, gently placed it on her lap.
"Chaeng, this experience helped me realize, first kisses are spontaneous. You don't just plan it. It's the uncertainty and the timing that makes it special."
"But in this dorm? This shabby place? While the sun has barely been up?"
"You called it 'divine' earlier."
"I was half asleep!"
"Like I said, it just happened."
Jennie, breathlessly listening curiously on their exchange, "Chaeyoung..."
"You kept telling me things I would hate, to imagine you as Jennie unnie's firsts in relationship things, but I accepted it because-----still!"
