"What a relief." I smiled in satisfaction as I sat on a mat laid on the sand, perfectly hidden in the shade provided by the parasol protecting me from the blazing sun.

Kuja, who sat beside me, nodded his head. "Agreed."

"I thought it's going to be awkward between them, but they easily became friends." I commented as we both watched the girls already playing in the sea, with Haru joining them.

Dahyeon sat on a duck floatie, evidently having fun with the two. Jihyeon also looks a bit carefree, a smile graced her usual stoic expression.

"Girls usually become friends with each other quicker than guys. Although it's a surprise that Haru's with them."

Kuja then pointed at the two remaining members of the crew. "Because he felt out of place with those two, I guess."

"Well, if I were a man, I'd feel pathetic in comparison." I honestly remarked with my arms crossed. That's a thought I had a long time ago. What if I became Suhyeon Kim, but still a man?

It must be difficult for me to adapt to a man's body if that actually happened.

"I saw some girl ask for Hajun's number earlier."

Glancing at Kuja who said something random, I squinted my eyes at him. "Really? Damn. Did he give it?"

He shook his head. "I don't think so. He pointed at us earlier."

My forehead creased in confusion. "What does that mean?"

"Maybe he took pity on me and suggested they ask for my number too."  He responded in a straight forward manner, not even a hint of hesitation or something.

I sealed my lips, trying not to laugh or else he might get hurt. "I really admire your self-confidence, Kuja."

"Dahyeon surprised me." He changed the topic as we went back to the girls. "I never knew she was that sociable and outgoing."

Watching her smile brightly as she stared at Haru made me smile as well. "Yeah. I can see that." Glancing at Jihyeon, I sighed in relief again. "Jihyeon's loyalty is increasing."

He shot me a curious stare. "You can...see that?"

I nodded as if it's a normal ability for a normal human being. "Yep. I can. My eyes are pretty good, you know?"

"Is Yugyeom having fun too? His expression is giving nothing away." We both directed our gaze towards the white haired guy who have an undescribable expression.

But, I don't know, he looks like a baby who's experiencing a new situation for the first time. How cute!

Anyways, even his loyalty is increasing as we speak. Stretching my arms, I took a deep breath. "I deserve this kind of break after everything that happened."
