They did arrive before check-in time. It only took a few minutes for them to receive their room keys, then all four of them set off to their rooms to get settled. As much as Areum wanted to explore the resort as soon as possible, she couldn't ignore the fact that her body was ready for a nap.

She didn't even bother unpacking her things from her suitcases. Instead, as soon as she got the door open to her room, she dropped her bags and flopped right on the bed in the middle of the room. The white fluffy pillows and the cooling blanket engulfed her body as she began to relax, eyes closed and mind drifting.

She let out one last sigh before slumber took over. Only to be startled awake thirty minutes later by someone knocking on her door... With an annoyed huff, Areum regretfully pushed herself up from the bed and shouted "Who is it!". Irritation laced in her voice because whoever was at the door was knocking impatiently.

"It's Namjoon! Hurry up!" The familiar deep voice shouted back from behind the door.

"I was taking a nap" She grumbled to Namjoon after opening the door. He didn't even bother greeting her as he barged into her room. Areum stayed by the door, confused but eventually closed it and followed after him.

"What are you doing!?" The tall man was moving quickly around her room. He looked as if he was searching for something, even went to check in her bathroom before he came back out and looked at Areum before asking.

"Where's your red bag?"

"What red bag?" She had only brought two bags and neither of them was red.

"There was a red bag in your trunk and I put something in there that I need!" Namjoon was looking at Areum with hopeful and desperate eyes. Silently hoping she was either joking with him or that she just forgot and left it in her trunk by accident.

"It wasn't my bag. I brought all my bags up with me. It wasn't one of Ji's?"

"No, It wasn't one of Ji's, all her bags are pink!" He ran his hands through his hair, clearly getting frustrated.

"What did you put in the bag anyway?" If he was getting this upset about it, then it was something important.

"Promise not to tell Ji?"

"Is it bad?" Areum wasn't going to promise anything if it was something bad or something that could hurt her friend. She didn't think Namjoon was that kind of person but you never know? He could be hiding something from Ji especially if he was hiding something in someone else's bag.

"No, it's nothing bad! I just- Ugh." He let out a deep breath and ran his hands over his face.

"I'm planning on asking Ji to be my girlfriend. Officially! I even bought her a necklace to give to her if she says yes but I had it in my back pocket and it kept falling out, she almost saw the box so I just shoved it in the first bag I saw that wasn't mine or hers" He explained.

Areum's heart melted as he explained his plan, Especially because this last week Ji was a bit confused about their status.

Ji didn't know if they were dating or if they were just messing around so she confided in Areum about her worries because she wanted to be in a relationship with Namjoon but was too worried about bringing up that kind of conversation.
