After a half an hour drive, the boys have finally made it to their destination. It was a small town called Enola Valley, which Seungkwan was giving a history lesson of the area during the drive.

"So 'Enola' is backwards for the word 'alone' which is pretty ironic since this place is full of entertainment." Vernon interrupts Seungkwan with his observation, which had everyone nodding in interest.

"I can't wait to see what they have! Maybe we can buy some stuff to take back home!" Wooyoung suggests, only to be accompanied by cheers.

As soon as Wonwoo finally found a parking spot after ignoring all the closer spaces that Mingyu had pointed out, the boys got out of the vehicle and begin to admire the scenery around them. The town is far from small; shops were in every corner with entertainers standing in front of them. Not a single person had a frown as they passed by. This left the boys more excited to see it.

"What are you all waiting for?! Let's go!" Hoshi shouts to the group, waving them over. The boys agree and run over to where Hoshi was standing.

As the boys begin to explore the town, Mingi was noticing how big of a change in the atmosphere it is compared to being inside of that church. In the town, it was lively, bright and happy. On the other hand, the church was more serious and tense. Mingi would have added 'quiet' to the list but the boys of seventeen were far from that, and so is his group.

Mingi's mind then drifted to the thought of his boyfriend. He knew there was something wrong with Yunho, but he wondered what happened to his sweet and kind boyfriend. he shrugs it off quickly, blaming it on the fatigue and the lack of sleep he had been getting. Mingi knows that it is not an excuse but there was no time to dwell on that subject.

"Mingi! Come check out this comedian! She is so funny!" Jongho snaps the taller man out of his thought bubble as he drags him over to where the crowd of people were watching the comedian.

The comedian was a bit shorter than Jongho and was more on the plus size.  She was wearing a snug-fitting yellow-coloured suit with a black pencil skirt that went above her knees. Her shirt was also a yellow colour but in a deeper shade. Her dark skin shone with the sunlight, and so did her black cornrows.

"So I went France about 2 years ago, lots of things were new to me. One the most shocking things was that they ate snails, but they call them escargots. And I was like 'boy they sure don't like 'fast' food'." She ends the punchline, which causes the crowd to laugh. Mingi found himself chuckling at the joke.

"Fast food! Get it? That's such a good joke!" Jongho is in hysterics at this point, causing a couple of people in the crowd to stare at him.

"Jongho stop! You're making a scene!" Mingi tried to hush his loud friend, but things got louder as he heard the other boys run over.

"Oh my god?! Is that Laika?! She's a great comedian!" Seungkwan flaunts his admiration, which caused more cheers and screams.

Mingi wanted to crawl back into the car and never come out. People were staring at them and they were disrupting Laila's performance, which that was the last thing that Mingi wanted.

"Hey fellas! Stop yapping or go back home! You're being disrespectful to Laika!" One of the attendees shouted, glaring at the group.

"It's alright big fella, they're just having a laugh." Laika, the comedian responds which had Mingi internally sighing in relief.

"We are going somewhere else until you all have calmed down!" Mingi shouts to the boys, pushing his friends away.

He looks back and gives Laika an apologetic smile before arguing with a persistent San and Seungkwan.

"I wanted to say hi to Laika!!" Seungkwan pouts as he's walking with the others.

"You guys could have done that AFTER her performance." Minghao tries to reason, but is told to zip it from an angry Seungkwan.

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt but I think we should start heading back to the church. But first, let's get some food." Jun speaks up, the others agreeing as they head to a small pub.

The boys have been exploring the village for a while and everything seems perfect! Everyone's happy, but is there a reason why? Perhaps a certain person that could change that?
