Third Person POV

"Where are you going?" Win asked Bright when he saw Bright getting out of bed and heading for the door.

"Jungkook and his group have arrived," Bright said. "They are downstairs at the lobby checking in."

"I'm going down with you to meet them," Win said, excited to see Yoongi again.

Bright and Win quickly made their way to the lobby and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard Jungkook yelling, "Over here!"

Jungkook had been watching out for them even while he was still standing in line with the others to check in with the hotel receptionist.

Bright rushed over to Jungkook and they gave each other a buddy hug.

Win was walking a bit slower and shyly behind Bright but he was smiling widely at Yoongi.

Yoongi broke out of the line and approached Win and he and Win gave each other a buddy hug as well.

"It's so good to see you again," Yoongi said.

"Same here," Win responded.

"You wanna join us later for a seaside cookout?" Yoongi asked.

"Does the hotel allow that?" Win asked.

"Oh yeah," Yoongi replied. "We asked about that even before making our hotel reservation."

"Then definitely my answer is yes," Win said excitedly.

Bright and Win greeted the other members of the group. Jungkook introduced everyone once more to make sure that Bright and Win remembered everyone's names.

The other members were excited to know that Bright and Win were going to join them in their seaside cookout.

"It would make the outing so much more fun!" J-Hope declared with a big smile.

Bright set Win aside.

"Would you like to contribute something for the cookout?" Bright asked Win.

"Oh yes, of course!" Win replied immediately.

"Namjoon," Bright said. "Win and I would like to help out with the cookout preparations."

"That would be brilliant," Namjoon said happily. "Taehyung is in charge of going to the nearby supermarket to buy the foodstuff to be grilled."

"I could go with him and help buy whatever foodstuff you have in mind," Win offered.

"Hey, thanks!" Taehyung said, smiling at Win. "I would love that."

"My pleasure!" Win replied.

Bright handed Win several bills.

"Use this to buy whatever foodstuff you need to purchase," Bright said.

"Thanks!" Win said accepting the bills.

Bright and Win continued to chat with the group until everyone had finished checking in.

It turned out that the three adjacent rooms that the group had reserved were on the same floor as Bright and Win, except that Bright's and Win's were farther down the hallway.

"Let's go," Taehyung said to Win after he had set his luggage inside the closet of his room. He would take care of sorting his clothes later when he got back from shopping.

Downstairs at the lobby, while waiting for the taxicab that the receptionist had ordered for them, Taehyung and Win tried to get to know each other a little more.

Taehyung informed Win that he had recently just got back from Paris to model a popular brand of men's apparel.

"Isn't that a coincidence!" Win declared. "I have also just recently finished a modeling stint in Bangkok."

"You are a fashion model, too?" Taehyung asked excitedly.

"Yes, I am," Win replied. "Modeling is such a fun thing to do."

"And you get paid handsomely," Taehyung remarked.

Win giggled and said, "That's true."

Suddenly the receptionist paged Taehyung to let him know that the taxicab driver was at the reception desk to pick him up.

"Let's go," Taehyung said, grabbing Win's wrist.

At the supermarket Taehyung took a grocery cart from the lineup of grocery carts just outside the entrance.

"Will we need a second shopping cart, Taehyung?" Win asked, already grabbing the handle of another one.

"I don't think so," Taehyung replied. "And just call me Tae, okay?"

"Tae it is," Win agreed happily.

"Let's go straight to the meat section," Taehyung said, pushing his cart towards the section he mentioned.

Together with Win they loaded their grocery cart with packs of assorted cuts of pork and beef and chicken drumsticks ready for grilling.

They then proceeded to the seafood section where they again loaded their grocery cart with packs of assorted sizes of jumbo shrimps and giant squid already cut up for grilling as well.

"Let's buy some corn on the cob and some watermelon," Win suggested.

"Yes, let's do that," Taehyung agreed.

As they made their way to the checkout counter, Win said, "Bright gave me some money to pay for some of the groceries."

"I have a budget for the foodstuff," Taehyung said. "You can pay for whatever is beyond the budget, is that okay?"

"Sure," Win replied.

Taehyung called Namjoon as soon as they finished loading the grocery bags in the trunk of the taxicab.

"Hyung, we're on our way back to the hotel," Taehyung informed Namjoon.

"Okay," Namjoon replied. "Jin and I will meet you at the lobby to help carry the groceries to the beach. The others are already by the seaside frolicking in the waters."

Taehyung turned to Win and told him what Namjoon said.

"Is Bright also at the beach already?" Win asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Hyung, is Bright with the rest of the group?" Taehyung asked.

"Yes, he is," Namjoon replied.

"Yes, he is," Taehyung repeated to Win.

"Okay, meet us at the lobby," Taehyung said before cutting the call.

Taehyung noticed Win with a thoughtful look and just the hint of a frown.

"I know what you're thinking," Taehyung said which made Win almost jump in his seat because Win had been so lost in his thoughts imagining Bright in his swim trunks splashing water at a Jungkook also in his swim trunks.

"Don't feel so bad," Taehyung said, placing his hand lightly on Win's thigh. "We can have fun together as well."

"That sounds like a good plan," Win was suddenly smiling now.
