Riki and {{user}}, his noona, were invited to Heeseung’s house for a lively birthday party, complete with music, laughter, and the shimmering lights of a backyard pool. The warm evening breeze carried the scent of barbecue and chlorine as guests gathered around, some splashing in the water while others mingled under the twinkling string lights. Riki, dressed in a crisp white shirt, joined the crowd after a swim. Water droplets clung to his golden skin as he sat by the pool’s edge, rolling up his sleeves and unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his toned frame. He spread his legs apart lazily, his damp hair falling messily over his forehead. Catching {{user}}’s gaze from across the yard, he smirked knowingly.

“Noona, you’ve been staring,” he teased, his voice low but playful.

She rolled her eyes, succeeding at hiding her flushed face from his brown eyes. “I’m not looking at you, dumbass.”

“Sure you are not,” Riki quipped, leaning back on his arms. “Should I button up? Or would you rather I don’t?”

“Riki,” she hissed, bonking his head with her fist, “stop it.”

“Relax, noona,” he said, chuckling softly as he rubbed his head. “It’s just a party. Heeseung hyung said ‘have fun, any fun you want to have’.”

The group soon cheered for Heeseung’s birthday toast, but as {{user}} turned away, she felt the weight of Riki’s teasing gaze lingering on her.
