As we arrived at the resort, the staff kindly guided us to the house we would be sharing for our stay on Ticuba Island. The anticipation mingled with a hint of awkwardness as we stepped through the front door. It was a beautiful house, with large windows overlooking the breathtaking scenery that surrounded us.
The staff informed us that they would give us a detailed tour of the entire island in the morning, along with a list of activities we could enjoy during our stay. But for now, it was time to settle in and choose our rooms.
Feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness, I hesitated for a moment. Being the only girl in this group of incredibly talented and charismatic guys was a bit overwhelming. Deep down, I craved solitude and moments of quiet reflection. But at the same time, the thought of spending a vacation with BTS was a dream come true.We exchanged glances, each of us unsure of how to proceed. Jimin, always considerate and caring, broke the silence. "Allysa, why don't you take the master bedroom? Since you were the first one to arrive, it's only fair."His words instantly put me at ease, and I couldn't help but smile at his thoughtfulness. "Thank you, Jimin. That's very kind of you."After organizing my belongings and settling into the master bedroom, I headed downstairs to the kitchen to prepare a meal. While the resort offered food services, I had dietary restrictions and needed to be cautious about what I ate. I couldn't consume foods containing iodine or iodized salt.As I entered the kitchen, I heard a familiar voice singing softly. It was Jungkook, standing by the stove, engrossed in his cooking. Surprised, I asked him what he was doing in the kitchen.He turned towards me with a playful smile. "Oh, just satisfying my hunger. What about you, Allysa? What brings you to the kitchen?"Jimin, who had followed me downstairs, chuckled. "She's hungry, silly! Can't you see?" He nudged Jungkook teasingly.Joining in their lighthearted banter, I explained that I needed to be cautious with my food choices due to my dietary restrictions. Jimin nodded understandingly, while Jungkook's eyes widened with curiosity."I see," Jungkook said, his voice filled with genuine concern. "It's important to take care of yourself. Don't worry, we'll make sure to keep your dietary needs in mind when we prepare meals."I was touched by their consideration and felt a sense of camaraderie growing among us. Together, we set about preparing our meal, with each of us contributing in our own way. I appreciated their willingness to help and their warm presence in the kitchen.As we cooked and shared stories, the initial awkwardness gradually melted away. Their playful teasing and genuine interest in my well-being made me feel accepted and included. Despite the different paths we had walked in life, in that moment, we were simply a group of friends enjoying a meal together.With the aroma of food filling the air and laughter echoing through the house, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this unexpected connection.
After our meal, we all gathered in the living room to chill and get to know each other better. Jin, being the caring one, asked me how they should call me.I blushed a little and replied, "Just call me Allysa. And you guys can be my 'oppas' since you're older than me."Jimin burst into laughter and teased, "Oops, Jin hyung, looks like you're the oldest one here!"Their playful banter made me smile, and I felt more comfortable in their presence. As the night went on, it was time to wind down. J-Hope kindly offered to do the dishes while the rest of us headed upstairs to our rooms.Changing into my cozy nightgown, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The tranquility of the island embraced me, easing my mind. But as I glanced at the time, I noticed it was already two in the morning. The house was dark, indicating that everyone was fast asleep.Feeling a sudden thirst, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen to grab some milk..
To my surprise, I found Taehyung there, his hair all messy as if he had just woken up. He asked, "M-mul... water, please."I couldn't help but smirk, finding his disheveled appearance cute. I handed him a bottle of water and replied, "Sure, here you go. Did I startle you?"Taehyung looked surprised as he realized I was there. We began chatting, trying to get to know each other better."So, Allysa," Taehyung said, curiosity twinkling in his eyes, "what made you choose this secluded island for your adventure?"I took a sip of my milk, feeling a little shy but excited to talk to him. "Well, I'm an introvert, and I wanted some time alone to get inspired for my writing. Ticuba Island seemed perfect. How about you? What brought you here?"Taehyung leaned against the counter, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. "Oh, you know, we needed a break from our crazy schedules. We wanted to relax and recharge. And the idea of exploring an unknown island sounded cool."I nodded, a smile playing on my lips. "It's kind of funny how we ended up here together. I never expected to share a vacation with BTS."Taehyung chuckled, his laughter infectious. "Life has its surprises, right? Maybe it was meant to be."As we continued talking, the conversation flowed naturally. Taehyung's playful and artistic side began to shine through. He shared his love for photography and painting, telling stories of his travels and the things that inspired him.With each passing moment, I felt more at ease with Taehyung. His laughter was like music to my ears, and his warm presence made me feel comfortable being myself. It was a special connection, and I cherished every minute of it.Eventually, exhaustion caught up with us, and we settled on the sofa in the living room. We decided to watch an episode of "Going Seventeen," svt show that always made me laugh.As we watched, we playfully exchanged comments and reactions, thoroughly enjoying the entertaining moments. In the coziness of the living room, I found myself leaning against Taehyung, feeling a sense of comfort and safety.As the episode came to an end, fatigue took over, and we both succumbed to sleep. As the sun gently kissed my eyelids, I stirred from my slumber. My eyes blinked open to find myself snuggled under a cozy blanket with Taehyung. To my surprise, the other members of BTS were gathered around, looking at us with amused smiles.Feeling my cheeks heat up, I cleared my throat and mustered up the courage to speak. "Um... well, ahem, we were just talking and... ended up falling asleep."Their smiles widened, and they exchanged knowing glances. Jin, spoke up, "It's alright, Allysa. We understand. We ordered some food, so let's eat."Taehyung chimed in, remembering my dietary restriction. "Oh, by the way, she can't eat food with iodine."I chuckled and expressed my gratitude. "Thank you, Taehyung oppa"With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, Jin declared, "No worries! I'll make some delicious pancakes for you."I couldn't help but smile at his thoughtfulness. It was such a sweet gesture that made me feel welcome and cared for.As we enjoyed our breakfast together, laughter filled the air. The casual banter and genuine camaraderie made me feel like a part of their close-knit group. It was a moment of pure joy, where worries seemed to fade away, replaced by friendship and happiness.Once our appetites were satisfied, the staff arrived to take us on a tour of the island. Excitement fluttered within me as we embarked on our adventure, eager to explore the hidden gems of Ticuba Island.As we strolled along the sandy beaches and hiked through lush trails, the beauty of the island unfolded before our eyes. Each step was accompanied by light-hearted conversations and laughter, making the experience all the more memorable.In one instance, as I walked, lost in the enchanting scenery, my foot caught on a hidden root. Before I could stumble and fall, Jin swiftly caught me, his arms wrapping around me protectively. I blushed, feeling both embarrassed and grateful for his quick reflexes."Careful there, Allysa," Jin teased with a playful smirk. "We can't let our precious writer get injured."The others joined in the lighthearted moment, their laughter echoing through the trees. It was a small incident.Throughout the tour, I found myself engaged in countless conversations, sharing stories, dreams, and even embarrassing moments with the members. Their genuine interest in me made me feel seen and valued. It was a testament to the bond that was forming, a bond that transcended mere acquaintanceship.As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, we gathered on a secluded spot overlooking the ocean. The tranquility of the moment washed over us, and we sat in comfortable silence, appreciating the beauty of nature.Taehyung, ever the romantic, broke the silence with a whisper. "Allysa, look at the sky. Isn't it breathtaking?"I followed his gaze and marveled at the vibrant colors, feeling a sense of awe and serenity. "It truly is," I whispered back, my heart filled with gratitude for this magical experience.In that tender moment, as the ocean breeze gently caressed our faces.
