Sandeul's partner in the picture!

"And it turns out that she likes me back. So, we're official." Jin ended his story and sneakily gave a quick peck on Hani's cheek. Hani bit her bottom lip and blushed at the remark.

"So there was no 'Jin and Hani sitting on a tree'?" Sandeul questioned, his tone was full of disappointment.

"Err...N-no." Hani cursed mentally as she perfectly stammered on her words. She felt her cheeks rising hot and quickly turned away to hide her face when she heard Jin chuckled.

"That's too bad then. It means Ken wins." Baro said casually. "What do you mean?" Jin asked.

"They freaking ki--"

"No no no, that's our thing. You have no right to talk about it in public. The fact that you spied on us is already disturbing, so why not you stop now?" Ken beamed him with a sarcastic smile as he pulled his hand away from Baro's mouth.

Baro pouted and rolled his eyes. He looked to his side where his brother was sitting and pursed his lips into a thin line. Sandeul was awfully quiet which made him wondered if something's wrong.

"You good, bro?" his question pulled out Sandeul from his deep thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Baro was not buying that and the same went to the others who silently watched them.

Baro squinted his eyes, trying to read his brother's emotions and suddenly laughed out loud. Everyone eyed him weirdly as they had no idea why he was being like that.

"Don't tell me you're jealous of them? Come on, bro! You can get yourself a girl when we get back to Seoul." Baro patted Sandeul's shoulder as he steadied himself.

"It's not like that." Sandeul retorted, but his red face showed it all. "I actually, uhm, " He clicked his tongue, pushing his brain to the limit to find a perfect word to tell them.

"You what? Meet someone here and fall in love at the first sight?" Ken tried and surprisingly the latter nodded his head, making everyone's jaw dropped.

"And where is she right now? Did you succeed in making your first move?" Hani asked, blinking her eyes a few times.

Sandeul bit the inside of his cheek, shaking his head in disappointment. He didn't even get to know the girl's name. They accidentally bumped into each other in front of a convenience store and all he could do at the moment was staring at her beautiful features and said sorry.

"She must be so beautiful that you had the guts to ignore this worldwide handsome over here." Jin's voice was heard, snapping Sandeul back to reality.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I was asking if you need our help to get the girl. So, do you want us to help you?" Jin asked, raising his brows. Sandeul awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, thinking whether he should take the offer or not.

"We'll take that as a yes, then. Okay, first, tell us where did you meet this girl?" Baro questioned as he rested his elbow on Sandeul's shoulder.

Sandeul took a deep breath before spilling out.

"Hit you with that ddu ddu du du!" Just as the last word slipped out from Sandeul's mouth, he bumped into someone who he presumed was a girl because of the impact the person gave him.

It turned out that he was right when he looked up to see a beautiful woman probably slightly older than him, was scurrying on the road, picking up everything that she bought from the store which accidentally fell out when they crashed.
