The house party that Seonwoo imagined was a large house filled with college students partying. Foods and drinks were served, people were dancing to a loud music and there's a huge disco ball hanging from the ceiling.

It will be very noisy not like...this.

Six boys awkwardly sat scattered on the large living room of the house, exchanging subtle glances. Lots of chips and snacks were served on the large table but there were no alcoholic beverages.

Seonwoo moved from his seat, slowly reaching for the packet of mint flavored drink on the table.

“Can I have this?” He spoke, trying to break in the silence surrounding them.

“Yeah,” Jay answered for him.

Seonwoo already memorized their name and faces through social media. He actually researches about them.

“Jungwon told me you liked mint flavored things so I bought some. We don't really like those,” Jay straightforwardly said.

Seonwoo felt a bit offended, as a die-hard fan of mint flavored food.

“Yeah, they tasted like toothpaste,” Jungwon spoke as well.

Seonwoo felt betrayed.

“I eat mint-flavored foods as well,” Ni-ki butted in.

“Really? Since when?” Heeseung couldn't help but send Ni-ki a mischievious look.

“Whenever I felt like it,” Ni-ki shrugged. “Doesn't mean I love mint-flavored food though, it's just neutral.”

Seonwoo let a smile graze over his lips. At least, not everyone here hates his beloved mint.

No one knows how, or why, but the supposedly house with six people partying with ends up with two people heading outside the apartment.

Ni-ki suggested to have a small walking session down the street because they are bored watching Jay and Jungwon flirt in front of them. While Heeseung and Jake already entered their bedrooms claiming they needed to sleep as early as eight in the evening.

Seonwoo, although hesitant to leave his friend, followed Ni-ki outside.

The apartment was located in a secure subdivision with street lights and security guarding the whole viccinity. Undoubtly, the four boys renting the house came from a wealthy family.

“Can we not be this quiet?” Ni-ki asked, impolitely as ever.

“There was nothing to talk about, what do you expect,” Seonwoo rolled his eyes.

“Then, can you tell me anything?”

Ni-ki stopped from walking and looked back at Seonwoo.

“Why do I need to be the one talking? You are the bored one here, do the talk,” Seonwoo said.

Ni-ki blinked before walking beside Seonwoo, trying to keep his pace the same with Seonwoo's.

“Can't talk long, I'm confusing words,” Ni-ki said.

“Ah, right, of course,” Seonwoo nodded, understanding.

They've known each other for only a week, that's enough for Seonwoo to know how clumsy Ni-ki gets when speaking Hangeul. He sometimes get confused with words and says the most funny things ever. That's very understandable though, knowing Ni-ki has only been in Korea last year.

“So, anything specific you wanted to know?” Seonwoo asked.

A silence occured between them for a minute.
