"Why does it attract me so bad?"

Changmin was hesitant. He had been standing in front of the fridge for God knew how long while cupping his waist. Once in a while, his hand would move to the handle but it never succeeded in grasping it. He would retreat his hand away.

He was contemplating which drinks should he buy.

"Ah, I don't know!" Finally, he chose the bottle of drink he had been keeping his eyes on from the beginning. "If it's not delicious then Chanhee can drink it."

Closing the fridge in a swift move, he then turned around for the checkout and that was when he almost cursed.

Sunwoo was standing ever so soundlessly right behind him, and a creepy smile adorned his face. His big eyes weren't cute like what girls had said, they were scary. Though horror was Changmin's favorite, this boy in that state, however, made him want to kill.

"I don't suggest you buy that," Sunwoo took away the bottle from the older's grasp and showed him another drink of his choice in his small hand. "What about this? I heard it's tasty. Just tell me how many you want. I'll buy them for you!"

Sunwoo had overworked himself by clarifying and it was obvious with his heavy breathing. Changmin blinked before a subtle gasp escaped his lips. He seemed to be ready to spit something out or throw a hand but what was seen was him leaving.

"Chanhee, he is weird!" He sprinted along the aisle as if Sunwoo was some sort of zombie he needed to run from.

The boy sighed. It was his fifth attempt only for today to gain Changmin's favoritism but all were in vain. Nothing had worked out. He desperately wanted Changmin to see him as a nice boy who had nothing to do with Juyeon and maybe to have him spread the words to Soobin because Sunwoo simply thought that the girl was affected by what had happened.

Either it was only his feeling or it truly happened - Soobin was avoiding him on the campus.

"I wonder what had happened." It was then that Haechan appeared, curiosity was clouding over him. "Would you tell?"

"You shouldn't know," Sunwoo replied while picking out more drinks from the fridge. "It's not something I would be proud of."

Suddenly, Haechan screamed under the sealed mouth, and both hands balled. It made Sunwoo concerned and startled, unable to break his stare off his weird friend.

"The curiosity is killing me," Haechan said which Sunwoo then rolled his eyes. He was concerned for no reason.

"You two!"

It was then, that another familiar voice was heard from the end of the aisle - the owner whom someone the two couldn't ignore the presence. Or else, it would be a disaster.

"5 minutes more or you two will walk to the destination!"

At that, both Sunwoo and Haechan clumsily grabbed anything they could see and rushed to the checkout. None of them would want to walk and not to mention none of them knew the directions. It was a foreign land away from home.

They currently were at a rest stop they managed to catch while driving to somewhere Chanhee said they would have their short trip at. He never said where was the place but one thing he did say: it was the coast.

Chanhee offering a package of a short trip to all his staff already sounded weird, he would never be this nice. And rumor had it: he was paid to close the cafe and give all of them a few days break.

Well, none of them seemed to care what it was about. As long as it benefited them, that was enough.

"Have you talked to Soobin?" Was the first thing Sunwoo accidentally heard from the back seat of the 7-seater car. Chanhee who was driving was heard humming, confirming the question from Changmin next to him.
