~chapter 28~

Everyone set out together, deciding to walk to a nearby restaurant instead of taking a cab. The weather was nice, and it felt good to just stroll...

Pond and Phuwin walked side by side, occasionally brushing shoulders and sharing soft smiles. Behind them, Dunk and Joong were holding hands, lost in their own little world. Somewhere in the group, Aou walked quietly - following Boom like a lost puppy, his eyes never leaving him for too long...

Perth and Santa, as usual, were teasing each other nonstop, exchanging playful pushes and silly jokes...

At the very end of the group, Fourth walked alone - his headphones in, a huge smile on his face as he recording everything with his camera. He was completely immersed in capturing everyone's candid moments, laughing softly to himself as he walked....

In his distraction, he didn't notice someone coming from the opposite direction.... He bumped into him slightly, muttering a quick, "Sorry!" without even looking up, still focused on his video.

But the person he bumped into did look up - and his eyes froze.

"It's okay," that person said softly, but his gaze lingered on Fourth...

That person watched him walk away, stunned... like they had just seen something - someone - unforgettable....

He was completely lost in the moment, staring after Fourth as if the world had just slowed down around him...

After reaching the restaurant, everyone sat together and enjoyed their meal, chatting and laughing like a big family. Once they were done, someone suggested taking a group photo to capture the memory....

Fourth quickly raised his hand and said, "Guys, no need to stress! I've already made tons of videos of all of you! We're covered!"
Then, with a cheeky grin, he added, "And P'Boom... please say yes already. Phi Aou has literally walked behind you the entire way here like a loyal puppy!"

Everyone burst into laughter while Aou and Boom exchanged flustered glances, both trying hard not to meet anyone's eyes - especially each other's.

After clicking a bunch of photos and fooling around, the group decided to take a late-night walk by the beach. It was peaceful, with the gentle sound of waves and the soft breeze making the moment feel magical.....

Boom walked quietly ahead, lost in thought, a small smile tugging at his lips. Somewhere deep down, he already knew - he liked Aou....

And then, while walking under the dim streetlights, Aou slowly reached out and tried to hold Boom's hand. Boom paused for a second... then gently laced his fingers with Aou's....

Everyone noticed.

Fourth gasped, quickly turning his camera to them. He nudged Santa and whispered, "Third couple unlocked!"

Santa cleared his throat loudly and said, "Ahem ahem! We've found our third official couple!"
The whole group laughed and began clapping and cheering for Boom and Aou, making them both blush hard...

As they continued walking along the quiet beach, Fourth kept filming, capturing every smile and every moment of the night.

Just then, distracted once again, Fourth bumped into someone - for the second time that day....

This time, the stranger said, "Oops! We bumped into each other again! What a coincidence, right?"

Fourth, still a little confused, stepped back and said, "Wait... what do you mean?"

The stranger chuckled. "I mean, I was the same person you bumped into earlier today... at the restaurant. That was me...."

Fourth blinked, "Oh...!"
