They found Luhan and Sehun soon after their own arrival. Sehun was setting up an umbrella and blanket; Luhan placing biggish rocks on the corners so the wind wouldn't blow it away.

Baekhyun huffed as he descended upon them, and pursing his lips and crossing his arms, he demanded, "And why didn't either one of you think to tell us where you were? We just practically searched the whole beach!"

Sehun squinted against the sun as he glanced up at Baekhyun and retorted, "Because I already did, genius. Didn't you get my text?"

Baekhyun frowned and pulled out his phone as he said, "You didn't send me a—- Oh . . . Um, yeah...." He slipped his phone back into his pocket, and then smiling as if nothing happened he bounced forward as he chirped, "So, how can I help!"

Sehun rolled his eyes before saying, "You can help by throwing me that bag of chips."

Luhan dropped the towel he had been holding and cried, "Sehun! Don't eat! I want you to go swimming with me! You know what people say about eating and swimming . . ."

"That's a myth!" Sehun cried around a mouthful of chewed up chip.

Luhan gagged and smacked his arm. "Stop being gross! We're with friends."

Sehun rolled his eyes and retorted, "Yeah, being my brother —- who has seen very gross moment of my life . . ."

"It's true . . ." Baekhyun murmured before wiping away a fake tear. Sehun rolled his eyes.

"And his boyfriend," Sehun continued by saying. "So, I'm just going to let go and relax, Lu. Love you!"

Luhan rolled his eyes and huffed before plopping down beside Sehun on the blanket as he grumbled, "Fine, if you're going to be a lazy slug, I'll join you."

"Well, this has been fun . . ." Baekhyun drew out. "But I really want to go swimming, sooo . . ." He tossed off his bag before turning to Chanyeol, holding out his hand as he asked, "Will you join me?"

Chanyeol grinned and tossed off his bag too, avoiding Baekhyun's hand as he quickly ducked down to seize his waist, and throwing him over his shoulder instead.

Baekhyun playfully shrieked and cried, "Channie! Oh my gosh, don't drop me!"

Baekhyun laughed again while Chanyeol replied, "Never, baby," and then he was running towards the waves with a laughing and yelling Baekhyun slung over his shoulder.
