   Mariji was sitting with Johnny in the living room, growing tired of everyone else getting ready. Having learnt the hard way, she had become an ace at packing, in contrast to Katnya who still couldn't decide how many swimsuits to bring with her.

 -"You know, I'll have to drop you off to where we're meeting Jaebeom before we start, right? You should get a headstart, being with a bike and all." , Johnny announced as the doorbell rang. After standing up to get that, he continued: "Which also reminds me, do you maybe want to wear something more comfortable?", he said pointing at her midi flowery skirt.

   After standing up to welcome whoever it was at the door, Mariji replied: "Well, don't worry I also wore tights underneath so there won't be a problem, I think."

 -"You'd know better.", Johnny opened the door to face Jungwoo, dressed in all hawaiian attire, straw hat and big sunglasses to go with it.

   Mariji's eyes gleamed, and she ran towards Jungwoo to jump on him koala-style.

 -"OMG JUNGWOO!!! I'm so happy to see you again, holy shit!!!"

 -"Argh, I, I can tell, cherry. But would you mind letting me breathe??", Jungwoo exclaimed making them all 3 laugh.

 -"So, I'll go ahead and assume that you two, know each other?", Johnny asked, lowkey confused.

 -"Cherry here, you see, was my best bitch at the party last night. This girl here, can definitely move those hips."

 -"JUNGWOO!! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING?", Mariji turned to the side clearly embarrassed.

 -"Cherry, don't be silly. Just OWN it. Anyway, we were dancing like crazy, until mrs. sensual hips here, went to the bathroom. And then, I lost you. Where the heck did you go?", he asked looking back at Mariji.

   After dropping his luggage to the floor of the entrance, and moving with the other two towards the living room, Mariji went to explain:

 -"You guys will not believe what happened to me after that! So, I'm like all drunk moving like a leaf in the wind, getting booze on my shirt and all, and I finally reach the bathroom, right? But being the stupid shit-head I am I forget to lock the freaking door. Suddenly this weirdo tries to open the door and I completely snap, grabbing it and slamming it shut. But I guess that bastard  hit his head or something, so he starts, wait for this, YELLING AT ME! And I am just staring at him yelling at me, but afterwards, I gave him a piece of my mind, you know?"

 -"No shit, cherry. That's weird. Do you know who it was?"

 -"No idea. Just this dude, I mean I don't even remember him that well. But I do remember him being hot, like, REALLY hot. Which made me even angrier for some reason."

   At that moment, Danny and Katnya descended the stairs, the first carrying only a backpack and the latter... well a LOT of luggage.

 -"Hey Kat", went Johnny, "are you going somewhere after Jeju?"

 -"Ha ha ha, really funny Suh."

 -"I know, was born with it, what can I say? Come on now, give me that.", he came back at her, while helping her with her things.

   The two of them headed out to load the bags in the car, Jungwoo running right behind them, "Wait for me too!!"

   Danny started making her way towards the car, but Mariji grabbed her by the wrist drawing the black-haired girl's attention on her.

 -"Danny, what about Ivy? Isn't she coming with us? Why is no one anxious she is not here?"

 -"Hahahaha, you silly. Don't worry about her."
