"Gurff me mloore murthmawowsth!" Sungyeol said, and we all looked at him weirdly.

"Gurff me mloore murthmawowsth!!" he said, more impatiently.

"Maybe you should talk without marshmallows stuffed in your mouth, ne?" Sunggyu rolled his tiny eyes.

"MORE MARSHMALLOWS!" Howon threw the pack of marshmallows to his face and he squealed instead of getting angry.

"Don't we have anything else to eat? Is this our dinner already?" I asked, tired of chewing the millionth piece of mallows. Don't get me wrong; marshmallows are awesome, but you could get tired too after eating a whole pack.

"Actually," Dongwoo turned in his seat to get something from his bag. "W e have barbeques!"

We cheered. Dongwoo raised his hand to hush us. "But... We only have a few pieces, so we will have a couple game to determine who would get to eat most of it!"

"Myungsoo and Sungyeol pair!" Sungyeol squealed like a dolphin and ran to Myungsoo's side.

"I'll be with Emmi," I nodded.

"No no no no...," Sunggyu shook his head. "It should be boy-and-girl pair."

"But Myungsoo and Sungyeol are both boys!" I whined.

"Well we only have 2 girls, right?"

"Then I'll go with Emmi instead!" Woohyun clapped and ran to Emmi. Sunggyu blocked him.

"Ah, aniya. You're too greasy! We couldn't let you go near her!"

"Fine, I'll go with Hoya." He glared at Gyu.

"NO!!! I want to be with Yuan!" Howon dodged Woohyun's hug and hopped to my side. We simultaneously stuck our tongues at him.

"Why doesn't anyone want to be with me?" he whined.

"I could go with you," Sungjong smiled.

"Ah you're an angel!" Woohyun kneeled in front of him. I heard Emmi giggle at the scene.

"I'll be the judge since I'm holding the barbeques." Dongwoo said.

"So we already have Myungsoo and Sungyeol, Sungjong and Woohyun, Howon and Yuan, Dongwoo as the judge, so that leaves us with...." Sunggyu thought deeply.

"Sunggyu and Emmi!" I finished up for him. "Now you be the partners!"

"Kyaaa my #1 Fan!" Sunggyu hugged her, and Emmi blushed madly. I chuckled.

"They make a cute couple, don't they?" Howon whispered to me, and I nodded. "Do you think we could look like a cute couple too?"

"YAH." I slapped his arm and he giggled. I rolled my eyes, but deep inside, I was blushing madly.

"So what's the game?"

"The couple would piggyback ride to the yellow post over there, and the first to get back to me would win a point! No pushing, tripping, or cheating!"

"You carry me," Howon nudged me.

"Pabo," I nudged back, and he giggled.

"Ready... Set.... GOOO!!!!" I quickly hopped onto Howon's back and he started running. I heard Sungyeol and Myungsoo bicker.

"No, you carry me! You're heavier!"

"No! You're stronger! You carry me!" Sungyeol yelled.

"Gah you're so heavy! You spend too much time in your coffee shop!" Sunggyu groaned and took a shaky step with Emmi on his back. She slapped his shoulder.

"YAH! You just don't work out too much!"

"Howon, am I heavy?" I peeked over his shoulder.

"You're light as feather," he smirked and took a quick turn around the yellow post. Of course, we won the race.

"Do we get a barbeque now?"

"No, this is just Round 1." And with that, Howon sulked.

"I want to change partners! Myungsoo is not cooperative!" Sungyeol screeched while pointing at Myungsoo, who had his arms crossed and was staring blankly at the ground.

"You chose him. You can't change partners now." Dongwoo shrugged.

"What's the next game?" I asked.

"Oh... Um, jumping rope! Couple jumping rope!"

I frowned. I haven't held a jumping rope for a while. Like, 5 years.

Dongwoo produced jumping ropes out of nowhere, and the game started. We had to complete 20 consecutive jumps and of course, I just had to trip every. Damn. Time.

"For the sake of barbeques, we have to win!" Howon frantically said. I just looked at him sadly, and he shut his eyes as he tried to think of an idea.

"Wrap your arms around my waist."

"Huh?"

"You should stick to me so we could jump together! Then step on my feet."

"Oh okay." I did what was told and it felt awkward. As I had my body firmly against his, I felt the hardness of his stomach. There were tiny bumps, and I jumped to the conclusion that he probably has abs......

Anyway, I grabbed onto him tightly and just shut my eyes, and I felt him start jumping. Finally, we reached 20.

"We win!" Woohyun squealed just before Howon could say that we're done. We both fell to the ground, exhausted.

"Okay, so, 1 point for HoYuan, 1 point for WooJong. One last round to determine who wins!" Dongwoo announced. "So the last game would be........."

Wait.

Why don't I feel good about this?

"...... Peppero game!" Emmi and I exchanged looks, both our eyes saying, "Eotteokkae?"

"But we don't have pepperos...," Dongwoo mumbled, and I gave a sigh of relief.

"I brought chocolate sticks! We could use them instead!" Sungyeol cheered. Damn you, Sungyeol. I turned to Howon and instead of feeling sympathy, I felt more creeped out since he was wiggling his eyebrows.

"Can we back out on this one?" I pleaded.

"Why? You don't like Pepperos?" he asked innocently.

"Well... It's just..."

"GO!!" Dongwoo signaled for the first pair, which was MyungGyeol. They gave an unbelievable result of 1.7 cm. How is that even possible without the lips touching?! Unless......

Next was Woojong, and they got a poor 3.1 cm. The MyungGyeol couple cheered. Next was EmmiGyu, and Emmi was obviously panicking.

"Do you really want the barbeques?" Gyu asked her.

"I'm fine with the marshmallows." She gulped, and I tried to contain my laugh. Gyu chuckled, and started biting the chocolate stick.

"Go Emmi!" I silently cheered, but Howon heard me and laughed. Then it dawned over me that I would be in that place later. Sunggyu stopped biting when there was still a centimeter between his lips and Emmi's, and I could almost hear her sigh of relief. They got 3.5 cm.

"Next, HoYuan! Step into the circle, please!"

"I'm not desperate in having the barbeques either." I quickly said. He softly smiled.

"Just trust me."

"How can I trust you in this?!!"

"Ah. Just trust me! No more questions!"

"But-"

"GO!" Dongwoo signaled, and Howon shoved the stick into my mouth. I bit on the very very end, if that was even possible. I watched as Howon inched closer, until I felt his breath blow on my face. He had his eyes closed.

"Dafuq Howon don't close your damn eyes!!!!"

Just then, he snapped his eyes open. He kept eye contact with me as he neared.

"Please please please stop right there!! Don't get any closer..."

But he continued biting with a sparkle of mischief in his eyes. Okay, so I can't trust him at all in this one. I just shut my eyes tightly, and felt his nose brush against mine. Just before I could bite away, I felt something brush against the edge of my upper lip.

"For the sake of barbeques." Howon's breath blew against my lips. I opened my eyes and saw Howon standing in front of me with a huge grin on his face. Was it just his breath that I felt on my lips? Or was it his lips? If then... Is it possible for the lips to be light as feather?

"Yuan, you could let go of the stick now." Dongwoo said.

"Oh," I said and dropped it on my hand. They measured it and it was 1.8 cm. Howon groaned and sulked on his seat. So close!!

Sungyeol cheered while Myungsoo looked uninterested. Howon sat beside me and tapped my shoulder while pouting.

"We should have done better..." He looked like an innocent kid. My eyebrow rose.

"And how could we do better without your lip touching mine?"

"I didn't say our lips couldn't touch." He wiggled his eyebrows, and I punched his arm HARD.

"Aigooo that hurt! Did you take boxing lessons when you were a kid?!!"

"Serves you right," I huffed. My eyes ran across Myungsoo and saw him looking at us. He quickly looked away.

Weird......

"Since we have 3 ties, with one point each for MyungYeolm Woojong, and Hoyuan, we would have a tie-breaker game! But EmmiGyu can't participate anymore. You have no points."

Sunggyu sulked, but Emmi sighed in relief.

"The tie breaker game is..." Dongwoo made drum roll noises. "Card-kissing game!"

"BWOHH??!!!" Howon and I yelled at the same time.
