Stray Kids

Summer in the village was unfolding as usual.

In the mornings, the guys would spend their time fixing someone's fence, bringing water to a grandmother, or helping gather apples. And by evening, the whole group would be sitting by the store, laughing so loudly that half the street could hear them.

Everyone knew them.

Felix always smiled at everyone he met. Chan could strike a deal with anyone in five minutes. Seungmin pretended to be the serious one, but he joked just as much as the others. Jeongin was constantly teasing his friends. Hyunjin loved to look stylish even when he was going to chop firewood. Han couldn't go a single day without some kind of adventure. Changbin carried sacks as if they weighed nothing. And Minho was the primary source of most of the trouble.

That was exactly why, when an unfamiliar girl appeared near Grandma Zoya's house, he was the first one to notice her.

The guys were walking down the street after helping out on a neighbor's plot.

"Grandma Zoya gave out pies again," Han complained, finishing his fourth one.

"Then don't eat them," Seungmin smirked.

"I can't. They're delicious."

At that moment, Minho stopped.
Behind a wooden fence, a girl was sitting on a bench.

A white dress, loose hair, a book in her hands.

Clearly not a local.

Minho narrowed his eyes.

"Whoa..."

Everyone turned their heads at once.

"What?" Changbin asked.

"Look behind the fence."

The guys all looked together.

The girl was calmly reading her book, not even noticing them.

Minho grinned.

And suddenly, he let out a loud whistle.

So loud that even the sparrows flew off the tree.

The girl looked up.

"Hey, beautiful! From the city?"
