Nayeon and Sejeong had finally finished their supplementary lessons. Sejeong was able to graduate and Nayeon was able to pass her exam. They would also finally enjoy their summer vacation.
Three days prior to the trip, Jeongyeon was busy packing their things on their bed when she felt Nayeon's hands sneak on her waist from behind.
"W-what are you doing, unnie? Let go."
"Let's just stay like this for a while, please? I'm super drained from that summer classes I took." Nayeon pleased as she snuggled her face behind Jeongyeon's neck. Jeongyeon sighed as she sat down on the bed, taking Nayeon with her and allowing her to back-hug her.
"Don't lie to me. Your supplementary lessons ended last week. What's wrong?"
Nayeon already knew Jeongyeon would figure it out. She placed her chin on Jeongyeon's shoulder and admired the younger girl's side profile. She pursed her lips and sighed. "I'm worried about our friends. Momo confessed to me that she likes Dahyun and always chicken out to ask her out. She also thinks Dahyun likes Sana. And yesterday, Sana said she sorted out her feelings for Tzuyu and that tall brat said she likes her, too, so they're now dating. Momo said Dahyun was depressed for unknown reasons and wouldn't talk to her. Because of that, Momo also got frustrated and wouldn't come out of her room, only when she wanted to eat or use the bathroom. And our trip is in three days, for god's sake! I think we need to do something."
Jeongyeon didn't say anything as she listened to Nayeon's rants while back-hugging her. She didn't know what to say, so she just asked: "What about Chaeyoung and Mina?"
"Ah, yeah! I almost forgot! They're still in the phase of getting to know each other. As to Jihyo and Sejeong, they said they would always meet in family dinners since their parents are close friends and business partners. The only sad thing is that... their marriage with those rich dudes is already planned." Nayeon pouted.
"Oh." That was all Jeongyeon had said. They were silent for a moment until Jeongyeon spoke again. "Are you done? I need to pack up now."
"Nope. I still have to give this to you." Nayeon beamed as she stood up and went to get something from her backpack. "Tada! We'll just get rid of the pendant and instead, replace it with our rings! Great, right!? Now give me your ring first." She said and helped Jeongyeon to put the new necklace on her neck. "There we go. I have mine, too, so don't worry." She added, showing her neck with the necklace and her own ring as a pendant.
Jeongyeon felt warm. She always thought of ways on how to wear the ring without being seen by other people other that their friends. She was planning to buy one, but Nayeon already bought it for them. She held the necklace and clutched on the ring pendant and smiled. "Is there more? I'm almost finished packing, so hurry up." She pretended to be annoyed, but was internally smiling.
"Not until we kiss." Nayeon teased as she back-hugged her again and puckered her lips towards Jeongyeon's cheek. Surprisingly, Jeongyeon didn't back away. Both were blushing hard. The younger girl put her hands above Nayeon's arms wrapped around her stomach as she hung her head low.
"A kiss..." Jeongyeon blushed harder as her ears turned redder because of the thought and completely forgotten about packing her things for the trip. "... would be nice."
Nayeon squealed internally as she held Jeongyeon's shoulder and turned her. Not wasting any time, Nayeon immediately captured the younger girl's lips, which caught her off guard. Jeongyeon finally immersed herself into the kiss and closed her eyes until she felt the older girl push her back to lay down on the bed.
"N-Nayeon un... w-wait— ngh..." Jeongyeon tried to push her but the older girl won't bulge. "Nayeon!" She kept kissing Jeongyeon, but Jeongyeon was stronger than her so the latter succeeded in pushing her away, but not enough to make her get off from straddling between Jeongyeon's legs. "Stop! You kissed me already!—"
"It's not enough!" Nayeon yelled. Thankfully, Mrs. Im wasn't home, so the two of them were alone.
Jeongyeon looked up at her, her hands were still holding Nayeon's shoulder up, preventing her to lunge back down. She was confused and surprised at the same time because of Nayeon's bold approach of words to her. "Huh?"
"I said it's not enough! I've been holding back all the time, so it's not enough!"
Jeongyeon sighed and closed her eyes as she let go of Nayeon's shoulder. "Alright. But just kissing, okay? Nothing more. You still have to pack your things." She smirked.
"You're excited, aren't you? The trip is still in three days, why are you packing now?" Nayeon chuckled.
"I just want my things to be organized before we go. Now hurry up and do your business. I'm busy."
"Ugh! Fine." Nayeon whined before leaning down to capture the younger girl's lips.

"Dahyun-ah, were you able to invite them to the trip?" Jin asked as he wipes the counter.
"Yup. Ten of us are coming." Dahyun, who was sitting on the stool in the counter as she lays her head on her arm and was obviously not okay, said.
"Oh no, my car wouldn't be able to drive us to the airport." Jin scratched his head.
"Just rent a car or something. Nayeon unnie knows someone, I think." Dahyun said as she sat up after Jin handed her her chocolate drink. She muttered a 'thanks' before sipping.
"Speaking of Nayeon-ssi, was she abe to give her present?" The young man asked as he placed his newly bought plates and cups on his cabinet of utensil collection.
"Oh. I didn't see a ring on her finger, so I think she didn't, yet." Dahyun shrugged and kept sipping her hot drink.
"W-what?" Jin's mouth was agape and he nearly dropped a plate.
"Maybe I should ring her and console her, oppa. Just a sec..." Dahyun fished out her phone from her hoodie and dialed Nayeon's phone. On the third ring, the aforementioned girl responded. "Hey, unnie... did you give your present already? Jin oppa is worried."
"W-what!? Hold on... what?" Jin tried to stop her, but failed.
"Oh? You already gave it? That's great!... I see... yeah, then, we'll celebrate tomorrow at the trip, is that okay? Okay, thanks unnie! See you tomorrow!" Dahyun beamed and immediately ended the call (she knew Nayeon would scold her since shock was evident in her voice after seeing Dahyun ringing her). She turned to Jin and smirked. "Don't sweat it, she already gave it to her lover."
"That's a relief. But Dahyun-ah, I won't be with you on the first day. But don't worry, I'll be back on the second day. You girls can do whatever you want, just don't break my plated and cups on the shelf, okay?" Jin sighed and smiled afterwards.
"Leave it to us, oppa."

Nayeon was in front of the mall waiting for Momo and Sana. They decided to shop for snacks and summer outfits for the trip. She was wearing a black glittered v-neck shirt, denim shorts, black ankle boots, and her white baseball cap. She also brought her tote bag to carry things they will buy.
"Those brats are late." She mumbled and fished out her phone. While waiting, she checked her neck with her phone's camera and saw an obvious bite mark just above her collar bone. She sighed. "This is going to leave a mark for a while." She chuckled as she remembered what happened.
~~~~
"Ah, good morning, Jeongyeon-ah! Hang on, I'll finish soon."
"You're going out?" Jeongyeon asked while rubbing her eye.
"Yup!"
"Where? And who's with you?"
"I'm going to buy snacks for the trip with Momo and Sana. Want me to buy you some?"
"It's fine."
After that, they were silent. Only the splash of water from the faucet is heard. Moments later, Nayeon finally turned to Jeongyeon after washing her hands.
"Okay, I'm finished. Your—"
"The kiss..." Jeongyeon cut her off. Nayeon blushed since she didn't expect Jeongyeon to open it up but stayed silent as she let the younger girl continue. "The hickey you left on my neck..." She added as she showed the reddened mark on the side of her neck. Nayeon gulped nervously and looked away. Jeongyeon glared at her. "If it doesn't disappear before the trip... it's your fault." Jeongyeon fumed as she slowly approached Nayeon, who was leaning in the sink. Looks like their make out session turned into something more last night...
"W-wha— what!? We did nothing last night—!" Nayeon stuttered as she felt the younger girl's hands on her shoulder, trying yo lower her shirt on the side. "Ngh!" Nayeon almost moaned and her heart raced when she felt Jeongyeon's breath hitting her neck. "Ah... Jeongyeon— wait Jeongyeon-ah! Ow! Hey!" She cried out when Jeongyeon bit her skin above her collar bone.
They heard footsteps coming to them and they hurriedly changed their position.
"Nayeonie! Jeongyeonie! What happened!?" Mrs. Im lashed out while holding a laddle, ready to fight the invisible intruder. When she saw Jeongyeon holding Nayeon's face and her other hand holding an eyeliner, she soghed in relief.
"J-Jeongyeon was o-only putting an eyeliner and accidentally poked me in the eye! Yes, that's what happened, eomma!" Nayeon awkwardly smiled at their mother as she glanced at Jeongyeon. "Shit, that was close..." she whispered.
"Oh! Just be careful next time, okay? Ah! My meat is burning!" Mrs. Im immediately ran to save her cooking.
Nayeon and Jeongyeon was left in an awkward silence and immediately let go of each other.
"A-anyways, you can u-use it now. I gotta go... bye!" She said, pertaining to the sink, and ran out of the bathroom.
~~~~
Jeongyeon sometimes does these childish things. What a troublesome little sister. Nayeon giggled and put her phone down. "No matter how you look at it, it's a bite mark, not a hickey." Even though Jeongyeon does that, she didn't want those childish things to stop. Besides, she always find them cute.
"Nayeonie~!" Nayeon heard Sana from a distance. When she turned to them, she saw that Momo was missing. "I'm sorry I'm late! On the way here, a horse—"
"Stop right there! I know you're lying. Now where is Momo?" Nayeon asked while roaming her eyes around trying to catch a glimpse of the girl with a hime cut.
"W-well.., she's still not fine. I know she likes Dahyun, but—"
"It's not your fault, Sana-ya. For now, just let them be. If you and Tzuyu have feelings for each other, then date each other. Nothing's wrong with dating the one you like." The older girl tapped her shoulder and smiled. "So, ease up and let's enjoy shopping! Besides, Dahyun called me earlier and she seems fine now. Let's go?"
With that, Sana finally smiled as they started shopping. They bought snacks first and was supposed to have lunch when Sana froze after hearing a shutter snapped from a phone behind them. She paused from walking and turned around, taking Nayeon with her since their arms were linked. Nayeon god confused and turned to where Sana was looking when she saw a blue-headed girl.
"What the— Dahyun-ah! You silly shit!" Nayeon immediately ran to the said girl and scolded her. "Do you know how worried we were because you shut us off!? What were you thinking!? And calling me and pretending that nothing happened!? What the fuck are you doing here, anyway!?"
"I took a picture of your affair. I'm sending this to Tzuyu and Jeongyeon unnie later." Dahyun giggled and put her phone back to her pocket
as she peeked behind Nayeon. Behind her, Sana was distanced from them and her head was hung low while fidgeting. Dahyun didn't hesitate to approach her and teasingly ignored Nayeon. "How are you, Sana unnie?" She greeted.
"D-Dahyunie,... I-I'm-"
"Don't! Please don't apologize. You did nothing wrong. Just because you don't reciprocate my feelings, doesn't mean you have to apologize. Just... just be happy. You and Tzuyu." Dahyun genuinely smiled and hugged Sana, who was now sobbing.
"T-thank you, Dahyunie..."
"Are you done? I'm hungry." Nayeon interjected as she crossed her arms on her chest and Dahyun glared at her after breaking the hug.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. By the way, didn't Jin oppa tell you?" Dahyun asked.
"Who's Jin?"
"Tell me what?"
"That he opened another branch nearby? I was with him earlier and decided to play arcade when I saw you two. I decided to follow you and take pictures of you going out on a date without the others. Let's go? Your Boss is worried about your love life." Dahyun smirked.
"Who is this Jin?" Sana asked again.
"Jin is Dahyun's cousin and my boss when I worked for his cafe branch in Busan." Nayeon replied as they started to walk.
"Wait, you worked? I though that's against—"
"Momo covered for me. I guess she forgot to tell you?"
"Why that—"
"We're here, unnies!" Dahyun beamed as she opened the entrance. The place was similar to the design of where she worked, except the position of the counter and the arrangement of the chairs and tables. Sana was amazed by the interior design and the ambiance of the cafe.
"Wow... I should bring Tzuyu here tomorrow." Sana mumbled. Dahyun, although gave up on Sana, felt a little pang on her heart when she heard the older girl. But she decided to completely ignore it and called her cousin.
"Oppa! I brought Nayeon unnie! And her friend!" Dahyun yelled. Luckily, only a few customers were there to witness, but the blue haired girl didn't care.
Jin came out from below the counter and smiled. "Nayeon-ssi!"
"Boss! It's been a while!" Nayeon greeted as she sat on the stool at the counter in front of Jin. "Wow, your branch here looks amazing! Should I work here again? Do you need any help?" She added.
"Oh, no, no. You'll get in trouble if you do that, Nayeon-ssi. And, is this your friend?" Jin asked as he turned to Sana.
"Ah, yes. She's Sana. She'll be joining the trip with our other friends including my step sister's friends, if that's fine..."
"Of course! I'm glad someone will occupy my rest house even for a few days. Nothing to worry about." Jin assured as he continued to arrange things. "By the way, we'll use our van to the airport, but I think we need one more vehicle. I heard from Dahyun that you know someone who owns a van?"
"Ah, yes! Mina's father owns a van. Right, Sana?" Nayeon said.
"Yup! I'll text her about it now. Dahyunie, I thought you know?" Sana added as she turned to Dahyun.
"Um... no? I don't know about their family. I just heard from Nayeon unnie long ago about her friend whose family owns multiple cars and vans. I didn't know it was Mina unnie."
"Ah, yeah. I remember mentioning it. Anyways, what'd she said, Sana-ya?" Nayeon peeked through Sana's phone.
"She just responded. Ah! She agreed!" Sana exclaimed.
"Is that so, Sana-ssi? Okay, it's settled now. Do you want to eat something? It's on the house, of course!" Jin offered, and the three of them agreed for free food happily.

"I'm home!" Nayeon called, carrying three bags of snacks and a bag of new clothes. She was greeted by Jeongyeon, who was in the living room reading her book as usual, and offered to help her carry the bags to the kitchen. "I might have bought too many snacks..." Nayeon scratched her nape and giggled.
"Probably." Jeongyeon was about to return to the living room when she heard Nayeon gasp. "What's wrong, unnie?"
"It finally disappeared!" Nayeon exclaimed. Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms as she was confused. "The bite mark, I mean." Nayeon added and showed where Jeongyeon bit her by lowering her shirt.
"Oh, bite mark? I'm sure it was a hickey." Jeongyeon smirked.
"It's obviously a bite mark, Jeongyeon-ah. Even Sana was confused earlier why I had those." Nayeon teased and giggled as she started to organize the snacks she bought.
"See? I knew hiding it was difficult. Y-your lucky I gave you a bite mark. I'm going to blame you if they notice this on the school trip." Jeongyeon glared at her and went back to the living room.
After arranging the kitchen, she went to the living room and found Jeongyeon still reading. She sat beside her and placed her head on Jeongyeon's shoulder as she hugged her side. Jeongyeon just let her be but now, she couldn't focus on what she's reading.
"I'm excited for the trip." Nayeon commented and rose her head up to look at Jeongyeon, her hands still wrapped around the younger girl's waist.
"Yeah..."
"We can have pillow fights, play card games, grill barbecue, and Boss said there's a swimming pool, too!" Nayeon paused as she took the book from Jeongyeon's hand, placed it on the table in front of them, and held her hands up. She then looked at Jeongyeon's brown orbs and stared at them for a while before bringing Jeongyeon's hands up to her lips. Jeongyeon was surprised of the bold move Nayeon did and felt her heart skip a beat as she stared back to the older girl. Nayeon smiled. "I want to do... many different things with you, Jeongyeon-ah."
Jeongyeon couldn't help but smile. She was captivated by the older girl's smile that she unconsciously returned them.
"Oh, right!" Nayeon snapped out of her trance as she looked away, flustered by how Jeongyeon smiled at her. She always thought Jeongyeon has the most beautiful smile, and she was grateful she's one of the people who could witness it. "The rings..." she paused.
"Why?" Jeongyeon furrowed her eyebrows.
"I know I gave you a chain necklace, but if I wore it as a pair with you, they would tease us." Nayeon looked down to their finger as she looked at their couple ring and sighed. "I wonder if there's something we can wear? Or something we could do so no one would notice..."
Jeongyeon's eyes traveled down to Nayeon's neck up to her collar bone where she left teeth marks that were now fading. Then, a thought came to her mind, but it was too lewd, so she shook it off and released her hands from Nayeon's grasp. She quickly grabbed her book and started reading from her bookmark to distract herself from her thoughts. Nayeon was confused of Jeongyeon's action and sighed. She noticed how Jeongyeon wanted to say something, but was forcing herself not to.
"Did you think of something?" Nayeon asked.
"N-nothing. It's fine." Jeongyeon denied as she was caught off guard by Nayeon's question.
"Eh!? Your face looked like you thought of a good idea just now!"
"It's nothing, I swear!" Jeongyeon shot back and flushed in crimson but Nayeon continued to tease her.
"Your lying! You did! Tell me what did you think about? Hm? Did you think about giving each other hickeys?" Nayeon teased and Jeongyeon couldn't help but blush.
Jeongyeon couldn't take it anymore, so she stood up and excused herself as she headed to their room after saying 'good night' to Nayeon.
"Silly Jeongyeon." Nayeon giggled as she followed the younger girl to their bedroom.
