TRACK 08 #3

In Se shoves him playfully out of the way to go first. She laughs, not knowing that sound alone will only encourage his bad behavior, and it doesn't take much as it is.

He makes a show of it, hopping like she did down the squares.

As he gets to the end, he squats down and poses with his chin in his hands for her, making her laugh again.

Dav En is sulking, which allows Yoon Ji to take his place.

He follows suit, pausing at the end above her with a pose I can't see.

"This is where all yours and Dav En's great photos for social media have been coming from, huh?" Jae-un asks, coming up beside me with his arms across his chest.

I nod, glancing at Yeon Hu taking his turn. "She's really good at catching the moments."

He huffs out a short laugh as we watch our leader go next. "I can see that. Not just anyone can make Seong Su do something like this."

"I know," laughing under my breath. "She's pretty good at that, too."

Dav En, the last to go other than the two of us now, acts like the diva he has been and has something to prove.

It really doesn't help that he's kind of a klutz for a tall guy.

He takes the squares faster than anyone else, only making one quick stop before reaching the end.

I'm not sure what he was going for with his pose, but he trips and looks like a tree getting ready to fall straight on top of Liz.

I call out for her as some of the others do behind her.

None of us are close enough to catch Dav En or move her out of the way, and my heart sinks.

In a move out of a martial arts movie, her heel hooks around the back of his leg as he's falling, giving her leverage to pull herself up by his arms. Their bodies turn mid-air to where Dav En will be the one on his back when they hit, but she braces both feet against the ground and catches him with the hold that she has on his forearms. Gently laying him on the ground, she straddles him, sitting on his stomach and grinning.

"And I didn't even drop your phone," she brags, standing up and brandishing her accomplishment with a quick click taking his last photo of him laying on the ground.

I suck both my lips between my teeth with my smile as I pull her into a hug. "Thought you were a goner for a second."

"Nah," she says, reaching up to kiss my chin. "He's not nearly as heavy as he looks anyway."

"Hey," Dav En groans finally getting up off the ground.

"It's a compliment," she reassures him.

"Should've let you fall for acting like that," In Se teases him.

"How did you do that?" Yoon Ji asks what we're all thinking again.

She shrugs, sitting back down as she explains, "I took jiu jitsu for almost two years. It's all about leverage and physics when you're the smaller person. Okay, my last two people. Try not to make me pull off moves that I haven't practiced in years, yeah?"

"No promises," Jae-un teases with a wink, taking his place at the end.

The man is an endless flirt with our fans, but in real life he’s one of the three most reserved out of all of us.

The fact that he's flirting with her right now makes me happier than it probably should.

He takes his time, giving her a few good shots of him before he stops right in front of her.

There's barely a hairs breadth between them.

Her eyes track up his legs and torso before finding his face.

My lips twitch into a smile because she forgets for a second that she's supposed to be taking his picture as he looks down at her.

I can't see his expression, but I can see hers.

That's the look that she normally gives me when she's on her knees in front of me.

I can't explain it, but watching them makes me start going hard in my pants.

Whatever In Se catches from Jae-un has him captivated, too.

The others haven't noticed the tension in the air yet.

Jae-un waits a few more seconds before making a tiny heart with his fingers down at her, and that's when she remembers the phone in her hand.

It comes up quickly and snaps his photo.

I absolutely cannot wait to see that one later.

Taking my place, I do as the rest did, giving her a few poses and blowing her a kiss at the end before taking the phone from her. "Your turn."

She was already in the process of standing as she glances up at me. "What? No way. That was for you guys."

I raise an eyebrow and press my lips together.

Her eyes narrow slightly as her lips twitch and a light pink colors her cheeks.

Without another word, she takes her place as I sit in her spot.

Taking the In Se route, living in the moment, she makes a show of hopping down the squares, giving me more than a few good shots.

When she gets to me, she crouches down, crosses her arms over her legs and simply tilts her head over a little and smiles.

"That's going to be my new lock screen," Dav En says directly behind me. His arms go underneath mine to lift me to my feet.

"Are you sending all of those to the group chat, Dav?" Yeon Hu asks.

Dav En is completely oblivious as he does just that as we start walking again. However, the rest of us know what he was asking. He didn't just want his own pictures. He wants hers, too.

"Come on," she says, taking the lead again. "The night is young, but we've much to do."

All of us follow along like the love-sick little puppies that I think we're all becoming.
