...

Later that day...

The sun was already high in the sky, bathing the valley in warm, golden light that promised a perfect day. Nayun stretched her arms upward, the muscles sore from training with Theo protesting slightly. A sigh of satisfaction escaped her lips.

"Sigh... This is going to be great."

She murmured, looking at the crystal clear waters of the stream with a mixture of desire and anticipation.

"A cold bath will feel perfect after all this sweating."

Yeonha, already wrapped in a soft towel, nodded serenely.

"The water looks inviting today. It'll be invigorating."

Cappie, of course, was already practically jumping from foot to foot, her boundless energy focused solely on diving in.

"Let's go! Last one in is a wet snail!"

Cappie announced, laughing, as she pulled down the hem of her shirt.

Soon, their clothes were left on the rocks around them.

Cappie revealed a red bikini, vibrant like her own personality. The complete set fit snugly to her body, with straps that molded to her shoulders and brightly colored fabric that enhanced her fair skin.

Yeonha wore an elegantly cut purple bikini that brought with it an air of natural sophistication. The soft lines enhanced her curves, and the color contrasted perfectly with her blackened lilac hair, giving her an almost mature air even in such a simple setting.

Nayun opted for a simple, straightforward black bikini that fit her body perfectly.

For a few seconds, silence reigned.

"..."

"..."

"Uh? What is it? Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Cappie raised her eyebrow, curious about the looks she was getting.

Yeonha and Nayun exchanged quick glances before lowering their eyes to their own busts, comparing them almost automatically.

"Nothing..."

Nayun muttered, but soon added with a competitive twinge.

"...It's just that appearances can be deceiving. Mine are still bigger. Yours only look that way because of the way they fit in there."

Cappie blinked, confused, tilting her head to the side, not quite understanding.

Yeonha sighed deeply and clicked her tongue.

"Tch!"

It wasn't exactly that hers were smaller, but there was a difference in leveling that was impossible to ignore. The balanced lines, the almost perfect symmetry... and the provocative contrast of shapes, especially in subtle details, such as the perfect tip.

"Now I understand... these headlights are in a different category."

Yeonha muttered, crossing her arms.

Before Nayun could reply, heavy footsteps caught their attention.

Theo appeared, carrying only a towel over his shoulder. The contrast was immediate: his skin glistened in the sun, and his minimal attire, a simple, tight-fitting black swimsuit, revealed every detail of his defined body, shaped exclusively by perfectly balanced muscles.

The three of them stopped talking at the same time. Nayun and Yeonha's eyes followed him almost instinctively, but it was Cappie who first realized how much she was staring.

She froze, her face suddenly flushing as she realized that her eyes had lingered too long, especially on the most striking area. Her heart raced, and she quickly looked away, as if she had been caught red-handed.

"U-uh! Y-you took a while."

She exclaimed, trying to sound normal, but her voice completely betrayed her.

Theo raised an eyebrow, a half-smile forming on his lips as he noticed the strange atmosphere in the air.

"What's up? Were you guys arguing about something?"

"N-no!"

Nayun replied quickly, her arms crossed in front of her body as she tried to look normal.

"Nothing important! We were just wondering if we'd have to drag you here by your feet."

Yeonha, looking calmer, simply turned her face toward the stream.

With Theo's arrival, everything quickly fell into place, giving way to a lighthearted and fun atmosphere. The stream, once just a backdrop, became the stage for the group's relaxation. Cappie, with her contagious energy, was the first to dive in, splashing water everywhere and letting out a cry of joy.

"The water is perfect! Come on."

Nayun and Yeonha, despite their different personalities, didn't take long to join in the fun. Nayun, with a mischievous smile, began splashing water at Theo, who tried to dodge it with surprising agility.

"Oh, is that so? Then get ready."

He said, retaliating with a jet of water that made Nayun laugh out loud.

Soon, the water splashing game evolved into a water tag game.

Cappie, with her speed, was difficult to catch, gliding through the water like a fish. Yeonha tried to corner the others, while Nayun tried to catch them with a tight hug.

Theo, in turn, used his agility to dodge the attacks, laughing at the girls' frustrated attempts.

"That's not fair! You're too fast, Theo!"

Nayun complained, panting, as she tried to catch up with him.

"That's not fair."

"Life isn't fair, Nayun."

Theo replied with a victorious smile before diving and reappearing a few meters away.

The sound of laughter and splashing water filled the air, creating an atmosphere of pure joy.
