A/N Korean will be in bold from now on. Starts when mentioned. Sorry for not following my schedule. Be back on it this week.
The paper game is from their interview in Taiwan. I thought it'd be appropriate to add. Enjoy(:

"Miguel! Come here, we have to go on the plane!" He jogs over to me with his small legs and grabs my hand.

"Miggy, are you ready to go on the plane?" Dorine asks him. He nods excitedly and looks out the window seeing the plane we are about to enter.

"It's best for him to fall asleep before we take off and before we land," Raymond explains to me. I nod and keep note of that. We showed our tickets and passports and were guided to our seats. They were seated in front of us on the right side of the plane. Raymond placed our carry-ons in the compartments and Dorine helped me buckle Miguel with the baby seatbelt.

"Thank you," I tell her and she nods and smiles before going to her sleep. "Let's take a nap."

I soothe Miguel handing him his blanket and monkey as I hum to him and rub his tummy and his eyelids begin to drop. I keep him coddled to me as I wait for us to take off. Once we do I ease into my seat and watch a movie.

Miguel woke up an hour later and I fed him and changed his pull-ups. I allowed him to watch movies before I put him back to sleep for landing.

"Our baggage claim is number 9," Raymond tells us. Dorine, Miguel and I follow him as he leads us to our baggage claim. We stack ours into one of the carts and he pushes it for us.

"Chris, are you sure you don't want to stay with us?" Dorine asks me.

"No it's okay. Mark said they reserved a room for me at their hotel. I'll call you guys if I need anything. I'll see you at the concert. Enjoy your vacation!" I tell them waving as I grab the bags and go to a taxi. They see me off before getting into their own. I tell the driver the hotel and he nods. I pay him and grab Miguel and the bags as I lug them into the hotel. It was a big and nice hotel. I wonder how much my room is.

"CHRIS!" I turn to where I heard my name be called and smiled when I saw the owner. I let go of my bags and put Miguel down. He ran and leaped into the owners arms.

"Hey, Mark. Hey, Jackson," I greet as they approach me. "Where are the others?"

"In their rooms. I asked Jackson to join me because he was in the room," Mark tells me and I nod. I give each of them a hug and they help me carry the bags.

"Let me just check-in and-"

"We did that for you already. You're in the room next to ours. There's a door that connects it," Jackson tells me.

"A door? That connects it?" I ask as we walk to the elevator.

"Mhm. I made sure yours was the one connected to mine because it'll be better that way." I look at mark with a raised brow as we stand in the elevator.

"Better that way?" I ask. He gives me a sheepish look making Jackson laugh at him.

"Erm..." He mumbles.

"Mark doesn't want you being friendly with the other members," Jackson speaks for him.

"Why can't I be friendly, Mark? Don't you want your friends to be friendly with each other?" I ask emphasizing the word friendly. I ready knew why he didn't want my room to be attached to the others' rooms. "Aren't you afraid I'll be friendly with Jackson?"

"Uhmmm..." He hesitates.

"I like her. We're gonna get along fine. Same with all the other members. They'll like you. We can all be friendly together!" Jackson joins in to my teasing. Jackson wraps an arm around me and we chuckle as we exit the elevator with Miguel holding my hand.
