“You should pick,” Dav En says as we start walking.

I snort with a quick chuckle. “Don’t you know it’s a dangerous game you play, asking a woman what she wants to eat?”

Out of the corner of my eye, I see him flick a worried, questioning gaze over to Kyung who just laughs with me.

“I’m kidding,” I reassure him. “How do we feel about the convenience store? I think I could do with some ramyeon tonight.”

“Sounds good to me,” Kyung agrees as Dav En rubs his belly.

“I’m just glad we didn’t bring Jae-un,” he says quietly. “I’m hungry tonight.”

“You’re always hungry, though, Dav En,” I tease him.

Kyung laughs. “It’s true.”

They start teasing each other again as they let me walk us to the store I’ve got in mind. We’re still laughing as we get inside and start picking out our food. I don’t even wait to see what all Dav En is going to load up on. I go straight for the ramyeon, grabbing an iced drink, rolled sausage, and a pack of mochi ice cream after I get it set up to cook. We all get to the counter about the same time to pay where the two of them end up playing rock paper scissors to see who gets to pay. I offer, but they act like they don’t hear me.

We gather our spoils and walk back out to the walking trail. I take them up a little bit further where there’s a small park and a couple picnic-type tables. Sitting back and enjoying my food, I laugh a little as I think about the fact that this is the quietest they will be all night.

“What?” Kyung asks, making Dav En look up from the chicken he’s practically inhaling.

I shake my head with a smile. “Nothing.”

He looks down at the mochi I’ve set between us and gives his own short little laugh. “There’s only two in there. Who is splitting with Dav?”

“Rock, paper, scissors?” I tease, resorting to their method of choosing.

I lose first shot, but he prompts best two out of three, and I win. Dav En simply sits next to him across from me watching us as he eats. When it’s finally decided, he announces, “That’s okay. I don’t want any sugar after this anyway.”

Kyung looks at me and we both start laughing, because he could’ve told us that before we started playing. Or even after I lost for the first time.

When we finish eating, we clean up our mess and the boys stretch like they ate too much.

“I think we should start solving our problems with fights instead of rock, paper, scissors,” Dav En suggests.

“Are we talking hand to hand battles or medieval like with swords and stuff?” Kyung teases back, taking a sip of his drink.

Dav En grins ear to ear, and it pushes his cheeks up making his eyes narrow like mine do when I’m cheesing hard. “Hand-to-hand.”

“I could take you,” I warn him.

His eyebrows raise as his expression turns incredulous. “Maybe finger to finger then?”

We laugh and he adds, “Is there anything that you can’t do?”

Tapping my chin, I think on it, spotting the swings behind him. “Not that I’ve found. I can even fly.”

This time it’s Kyung’s eyebrows that raise while Dav En purses his lips and pouts at me.

“I can prove it,” I tell them with a quick wink before I stand. Going over to the swings, the two of them take up posts on either side of me.

“Wait,” I tell them before I sit down. “Can I see one of your phones?”

They should be used to this now. Dav En complained a few weeks ago about not having new content for his social media account, so I try to snap pictures of them while we’re out that I know their fans would love to see, because I know that I sure do. He’s the one that gets it into my hand faster. Taking a seat in the swing, I tuck it safely so that I don’t drop it and start to swing. When I’m high enough to look down on them, every time that I go up, I take a picture of one then the other before making them get together. Got to admit, they’re pretty awesome shots.

I slow down to pass his phone back to him before picking up speed to go higher again. “Okay, you ready?”

I can see the moment Kyung knows what’s about to happen. His lips part in surprise like he’s going to tell me not to do it. Dav En is the only one surprised when I tuck the chain behind my arms and jump out. I’m high enough that I catch some serious air before coming down on my feet. It’s jarring but not enough to hurt anything. Yet, I still roll with it, trying to relieve some of the impact. I’m flat on my back laughing at the sky when the two of them come into view over me.
