Those few seconds felt like forever until Sun got her senses back and Rad almost lost his balance. Sun's reflexes got her arms clinging on Rad's shoulders and flinching at the thought of him dropping her.
Rad: I won't drop you if you try and get on your feet now.
Sun: Shoot.
She jumps off Rad's arms and tries to calm herself from what just happened.
Sun: (still shuddering) Oh God. Phew! (wipes her forehead) Thank God you were there or else I would've lost one of my 24 precious ribs.
Rad: Well (points ladder) that should be repaired or else, yes, you're gonna lose one of your 24 precious ribs.
Sun: (chuckles softly) Yeah, I'll get that fixed. (looks up) But did you like it? (smiles)
Rad seemed taken aback by her lovely smile. She looks so happy. He spent a few seconds looking at her before answering.
Rad: (sighs and looks up) Yeah. I mean it's nothing special, but I like it.
Sun: (looks at him and scoffs) Excuse me? It's special because I made it. (winks and smiles)
Rad can't help but let out a slight chuckle. He was surprised by Sun's reaction. Some others will probably react violently with his choice of words, but she looked cute gloating. So then he wanted to annoy her more.
Rad: You made that?
Sun: Well technically I hung them, but I made the blueprint in my head on how'd they look like hanging out here. (looks at him again) Why you grammar nazi.
Rad: (raises an eyebrow) I am not a grammar nazi, trust me.
Sun: (chuckles) Anyway, I'm-
Tanner: (arrives with some other boys) There you are!
They turned their heads to Tanner who's walking towards them while looking at the lights.
Tanner: Wow 'lil sis, I mean- you didn't have to go all-out for my party, but I like it. (chuckles and hugs Sun)
Sun: (hits his arm) It's not for you loser. (chuckles)
Tanner: Fine, I know. So I guess you guys were already acquainted?
Sun: Almost, if you didn't come marching in like a diva. (chuckles) A! You made it! (hugs Arden)
Arden: Hey darling. (Kisses her head)
Tanner: (to Rad) See? (Sarcastic tone) 'Told you she's so sweet. Anyway, she's the one I'm talking about earlier. You know, the one who took that huge photo of my cousin inside? (Rad nods) She's the little sister, my favorite cousin and an incredibly amazing photographer, Sun. Sun, meet my good friend all the way back from college. He looks like a soulless dude, but trust me he's really nice. (chuckles) And an incredibly talented composer and music producer, Rad.
Sun: That's quite an intro brother. (chuckles)(extends hand) Hey, Rad. Nice to meet you.
Rad: (shakes her hand) Nice to meet you too, Sun.
Tanner: Oh and in case you don't know man, she's also Arden's cousin - from her dad's side.
Rad nods to acknowledge.
Rad: Small world.
Tanner: Yep. Oh and sis, meet Kash here, also our good friend. Kash, meet Sun.
Kash: No intro for me? (scoffs) Bastard. (chuckles)(extends hand) Hi Sun, I love your name. I'm Kash - with a K. (winks)
