Eunchae clapped her hands together. "Oh! Let's run by the store and get some marshmallows. And one of those tiny foldable barbecues." She excitedly suggested.

"What, do you think I'm made of money?" Sakura asked, folding her arms.

Eunchae stared her in the eyes. "Unnie, you're the richest out of all of us."

"Oh," The other muttered back.

The members packed themselves into Yunjin's car again, despite Sakura's protests against the girl's driving skills. Chaewon fought Kazuha for the spot in the passenger's seat, and came out victorious; there's no way she would ever let someone take her spot beside Huh Yunjin.

The beach was only ten minutes away, but Sakura kept yelping each time they came near a crosswalk in fear of hitting someone.

Eventually Chaewon guided her girlfriend towards free parking spots using her Maps app. Once they got out of the car again, Sakura was finally able to breathe again. Kazuha rubbed her back, sighing as she shook her head at Yunjin.

"I didn't even speed this time!" The girl exclaimed, earning a weird look from a passer-by.

Chaewon laughed, giving her a playful punch. "Do you really have to shout out all the crimes you've committed?" She asked.

Yunjin grinned as she scooped the girl into her arms and twirled her around. "Wait till they find out why Kim Chaewonnie is missing!" She said menacingly, holding onto the girl for dear life as she tried to pry herself free.

Eunchae chuckled at the pair. "As if you'd ever dare hurt a hair on her head," She huffed.

As she set the shorter girl down, all Yunjin could do was smile. Her hands lingered on Chaewon's hips, making the girl's skin tingle. They stared into each other's brown eyes, and it took everything in her power not to kiss Yunjin right there.

So instead she smiled, a blush creeping up on her cheeks as she buried her thoughts far down.

"Well, can't mess up that beautiful bob, can I?" Yunjin hummed, brushing her hand through Chaewon's hair.

The shorter girl scoffed. "Anyone else would be dead for touching my hair, you know?" She spoke softly.

The other chuckled. "So cute," She hummed.

Sakura detached herself from Kazuha after her heart finally calmed down. She took Eunchae's hand and dragged her towards the entrance to the beach. "Come on, then! I want to see if the water's cold," She sang.

Kazuha hurried behind them, holding onto Eunchae's shoulders. "You'll protect me from crabs, right, Manchae? You're tall, you can defeat them." She said.

Chaewon pried Yunjin's hands off her hips. "Come on, babe. Gotta follow our kids," She laughed softly.

The other leaned down a little, placing a quick kiss on the short girl's forehead. "Ah, yes. Including our much-older-child. Practically a granny, really." She hummed.

"Hey, don't do Sakura like that! I'm heading that way too, you know." Chaewon groaned.

"I think you're right. I can see some lines here," Yunjin brushed her thumb over the girl's cheek, "and here..."

Her thumb trailed over Chaewon's lips.

She knew she shouldn't be in such a trance because of a simple touch, but her girlfriend was right in front of her looking all cute and smug, and she knew exactly what she was doing.

She took the girl's wrist in her hand and lowered her arm. With a sigh, she ignored the thoughts about everything she wanted to do to her girlfriend. She slid her hand into Yunjin's, and started dragging her along towards the other members.

No more getting distracted by her girlfriend who's got legs for days and an incredibly beautiful everything.

"Chaewon unnie! Look, it's a crab!" Eunchae called, pointing at a dark blue critter on the sand. It had a pink hue from the setting sun, and looked weirdly cute crawling away from them.

Kazuha nearly busted their eardrums with the scream she let out as she saw it. She jumped into Sakura's arms, relying on the eldest to save her.

Chaewon laughed as she bent down to look at it, her hand still attached to her girlfriend's. "Looks weirdly adorable, doesn't it? Long legs, creepy face... kind of like Jennifer Huh," She grinned.

"Well, guess what? You look like a sea urchin. They're so short they don't even have legs," Yunjin shot back.

"What? No, Chaewon looks like those cute sea snails that look like bunnies. You know what I mean?" Eunchae said, kicking the sand as she walked further towards the shore.

Kazuha watched the sand like a hawk, terrified of running into more creepy critters. Sakura kept assuring her that there would be none.

The girls gathered where the water met the sand, and took their shoes off. Eunchae tried to splash everyone by kicking water towards them, and Yunjin chased after her to make her stop. Sakura yelled at them to stop whilst Kazuha just laughed at the pair.

Chaewon rummaged around her bag, a smile stuck to her face as she pulled out her polaroid camera. She put it up to her eye, getting the frame just right...
