Suddenly, Bon-hwa popped up right behind Binna, putting his hands on her waist.
"I took her to dinner!" He shouted proudly, looking down at Binna. "She hasn't eaten any since this morning."
"When did you take her to dinner?!"
Jin-ah screeched. They couldn't believe their best friend had the balls to kidnap Binna.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFZZpmAoyx
"It was late yesterday so she didn't eat breakfast. I thought it would be a good idea to take her somewhere nice, so she can get some fresh air."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9e5341yv
Ae -ri, Kang-dae, Kyong, Jin-ah, and Do -yun all stared at Binna wide eyed, speechless.
Binna placed one hand on Bon-hwa's head.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf5vVmGExw
"Thank you." She thanked. He smiled and leaned closer to her ear. "Anything for you. I'll always be by your side." He whispered sweetly. His warm breath caressed her neck. Binna blushed and hid her face in her hands, clearly embarrassed. The others watched the two interact lovingly and fondly.
"What happened between them?" Do -yun asked Jin -ah.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbUXdM5k1V
She glanced over at Binna then smiled slightly.
"I think it's pretty obvious." She replied.
"Are they going to break up or something?"
"They're not breaking up." Ae -ri interrupted. "It's more like....they're trying to mend their relationship...or something. Hold on, they're not even dating!" She gasped.
Everyone laughed lightly, but no one could deny the duo being very affectionate with each other.
"Oh, well, if they can make it work, it's great." Said Jin -ah, and everyone agreed.

Ae-ri glanced over her shoulder and made eye contact with Kyong. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile before looking away quickly.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ196CpxN6bu
The rest of the night went without much incidents. They decided to watch a cheesy horror movie after finishing eating popcorn. Ae-ri sighed, standing up.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKsNNkXSEx
"I'm gonna go get some air. "
Ae -ri announced m She started walking towards the door, before glancing at Kyong. "You coming?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5hombXV7V
Kyong nodded. "Wait for me outside."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhORNOdJJh7
Ae-ri smiled. "Okay."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamzjXbL8Fo
She walked outside, closed the door behind herself, and leaned against the wall. She inhaled deeply as she felt her heart beating fast inside her chest. It was almost pounding hard enough to leave a bruise on her chest. Every time she thought of Kyong, her heart would beat faster.
Suddenly, the hotel room door opened next to her and she saw Kyong walk out. He looked at her and he smirked.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTfJZcvRsI
"You're so lonely that you asked me to come with you." He teased.
Ae -ri rolled her eyes at him playfully and shook her head.
"Don't flatter yourself too much."
He stuck out his tongue. Ae -ri punched his arm and he pretended to be hurt.
"I heard there was an underground pool here," she said. "Want to swim?"
"Sure, it's one way to entertain me."
Kyong took her hand. "Let's go." He led her across the hallway and into the elevator.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFps4P0blX
Ae -ri's face flushed red at the sudden contact, she looked up at him shyly.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN4l4NfiQV
The elevator doors opened and they stepped out. Ae-ri led him to a beautiful swimming pool, filled with different colored water. There were also several lounge chairs laying nearby the pool.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6kJ1eCIw2
"It looks beautiful." She commented.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DrmXZinot
Kyong glanced over at her and smirked. "It is."
Ae -ri sat down on one of the loungers and motioned for Kyong to sit next to her. He obliged and sat down beside her.
"Did you bring your bathing suit?" She asked.
He shook his head. "I can just swim in my boxers."
Ae -ri bit her lip. Her cheeks grew redder at the idea of Kyong in only his undergarments.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeELmoSI65
"That's fine." She nodded.
"I mean, it doesn't bother me either.." She trailed off when she realised she wasn't thinking straight. What's wrong with her?! She mentally scolded herself. Kyong gave her a knowing look, a sly smirk forming on his lips.
"If you say so." He chuckled and then stood up. He removed his shirt and his pants, throwing them somewhere beside the pool.
Ae -ri stared at Kyong's muscular chest, wondering why it was so attractive to see him this way.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJxz2HZSgW
When Ae-ri realized her mistake, she averted her gaze away from him. Ae-ri couldn't help but blush whenever she caught glimpses of his toned body.
Kyong smirked and then proceeded to dive inside the pool and came back up with a gasp. He swam up to Ae-ri, who only had her feet in the pool.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ585I29Yz6W
"Why won't you change? You can't just swim in a T-shirt." Ae-ri nodded.
"You're right. I'll go change."
Then she left Kyong swimming in the shallow part of the water, and walked towards the changing room. Ae-ri came back wearing a blue bikini and sat on one of the lounge chairs right in front of the pool.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5wZn7BBp
After a few minutes, Kyong finally arrived to join her. As soon as he noticed her sitting there, he frowned and proceeded to get out of the pool. He sat next to her, tracing his fingers down her thighs.
"I hope I'm the only one who gets to see you like this."
He spoke, staring intensely at her face. He then wrapped his toned arms around her waist.
"Hey, Ae-ri. Can I have you?"
Before Ae-ri could even react, Kyong tightened his grip on her waist and threw her in the pool.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cVcZ59gpX
Her eyes widened, and she splashed water everywhere. After getting used to the cold water, she surfaced again.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FtMjjjZ2m
"What the hell?!" She exclaimed. "Why'd you throw me in the water?!"
He grinned. "It was getting way too boring."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD7zrCSoLW
She pushed him slightly with her hand.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU8FUP878k
"I can't believe you."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1iO7ONu94
She then grabbed a hold of the edge of the pool, and pulled herself up. She stood there, soaking wet and shivering.
"You're lucky we're friends." She glared at him.
He smirked and then grabbed a hotel provided towel and wrapped it around Ae-ri's shoulders.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzlE86GT3H
As she dried off, Ae -ri glanced up at Kyong, smiling at him. He smiled back.
"Thanks." She thanked sincerely.
He shook his head. "No need to thank me. That's what 'friends' do, right?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnxukchUkY
Ae -ri nodded and smiled at him.
"We should call it quits for tonight," he suggested. "They're probably wondering where we went. Besides, I'm getting kinda cold."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlig3yhm2Rd
The duo dried off and changed into their clothes. They quickly made their way to the hotel room.
