"get up."

Jay's eyes, which had been closed, open drowsily and widen at Sunoo's tone. "huh?"

"you heard me, get up! we're going to do something fun. it's almost 7 p.m."

"what??" Jay shoots off the couch he had been sleeping on like a rocket. after he had drunk the water Sunoo had given him, he had laid down to take a nap.

napping turned to full on sleeping it seemed.

"i slept for almost 10 hours!" he yells. some of Sunoo's crew look his way and Sunoo tsks at him.

"shh. you're so loud. anyway– since you're clearly awake– we're gonna use the bubbles i bought. i'm also craving something sugary, so we're gonna find a dessert shop."

"what about your bodyguard?" Jay lets Sunoo push him out the lounge door as the younger shoves his tube of bubbles in his jacket pocket.

"he's sleeping. i don't want to wake him up."

"but Sungchul said-"

"Sungchul knows i'm like this. it'll be fine. if we meet a fan we say hi. that's all there is too it. now let's go!"

"so, what's your favorite candy?" Sunoo asks as he browses the aisles of Lolli and Pops. Jay thinks he'll pass out from all the sugar surrounding him.

"i dunno, chocolate maybe? i don't really have a sweet tooth." Sunoo grabs a bag of champagne gummy bears, and then plucks five honey sticks from a jar.

"that's a bummer. everyone likes honey, so i'm buying you these."

"no!" Jay objects. "you've already bought me a keychain. seriously, i don't need you to spend your money on me."

Sunoo shakes his head and grabs a giant rootbeer flavored lollipop, about the size of his fist. "i'm buying it for you because i want to. you can't stop me, so just enjoy it!"

Sunoo pays and hands him a small orange bag, all five honey sticks bundled up nicely inside.

"what flavor lollipop did you buy?"

"rootbeer."

"that. is. just- we can't be friends anymore." Sunoo clutches at his shirt, right above his heart.

"Jay, i gotta tell you. that hurt me– right here." Sunoo feigns heartbreak. Jay rolls his eyes

"okay, but seriously? who the fuck likes rootbeer? nobody."

"i do. i'm not a nobody either, so there." Jay snickers as they exit the shop.

they walk for a few minutes, a good distance away from the lounge, before Sunoo stops.

"i've always wanted to hitch a ride in a golf cart. we should see if someone will drive us back."

Kim Sunoo is everything Jay feels he isn't.

young. talented. positive.

and,
lucky.

so damn lucky.

because how is it possible (??) that at that exact moment two fans see Sunoo and come up to him to introduce themselves.

"hi!" Sunoo eagerly greets them in English and takes a photo with them. "where are you two headed?"

the two girls, Inès and Léna, explain how they're waiting for someone to take them to a certain gate.

"that's on the other end of the airport!" Sunoo exclaims. Jay sees the mischievous glint in his eyes.
