"So we can't chose who were are sharing a room with?"

They finally landed in Japan and were on their way to the hotel. To everyones surprise, the rooms were already assigned by Mr Seo. You would think in a group filled with all adults a childish sleeping arrangement wouldn't be needed. 

All Jiah wanted is to be roomed with Yujun. Her head had been hurting the whole flight. She first thought it was just the nerves until her forehead started to burn up too. She didn't mention it to anyone though, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble.

"I have the list here" Mr Seo said as everyone gathered in front of him at the hotel parking lot. "When hearing your name, you come to me and get your key. It's simple"

Everyone nodded.

Yujun grasped Jiah's hand, shaking it exited as they waited for their two names to be called right after each other. By now Jiah her head felt like sand on the beach that had been frying under the hot sun for hours. She was panting heavily, forcing herself to keep her eyes open.

"Na Gowon and Kim Demi" Mr Seo started.

"Ahn Seungjun and Lee Minkyu"

"Oh Yujun and.." It stayed quiet. "Jung Jiah"

Yujun jumped a hole in the air and started to jump around, holding Jiah's weak arm. She tried to jump along with her, but felt how this mornings breakfast started to make its way to her throat. Yujun grabbed her friends hand again and pulled her with her towards Mr Seo. They collected their key and stepped into the hotel. 

The lobby was huge and looked expensive. There were paintings on the wall and on the ceiling there was this big diamond skylight. They started to wonder how the company could even afford this place, not knowing that it was already prepaid by the place their artists would be performing at soon.

Yujun and Jiah got into the elevator. Jiah leaned her weak body against the cold wall. It made her feel a little bit better. The cold texture of the metal is exactly what her heating up body needed. Just as Yujun wanted to press the button to the last floor, a hand stopped the door. Both Jiah and Yujun looked up, seeing two familiar faced. 

Jiah her eyes rolled while Yujun kindly greeted them.

"What floor are you guys in?" Yujun asked, ready to press one of the buttons.

"The 9th" Hanbin replied with a smile.

"Oh? Us too" Yujun looked at Jiah, exited. "We must be neighbours"

Jiah was looking at her shoes. After the little show she threw in the airplane, she had been avoiding Ricky like the plague. He didn't really mind and thought what she did was really thoughtful, but she made the biggest deal out of it. He was standing across from her and started to make small talk with her best friend, hoping this way he could win over Jiahs trust. 

She glared at them, secretly. But she couldn't even hear what they were talking about because of her throbbing head.

"You okay?' Hanbin asked the question Jiah had been waiting to hear.

Ricky turned his head, jealous. Hanbin took place besides Jiah who nodded at his question. Her cheeks were red, not because she was blushing but because she felt hot. Way too hot. Now she was sure that she had caught something during the plane ride.

When the four of them left the elevator, they headed towards their rooms. Jiah was panting heavily while trying to keep up with them.

"We're indeed neighbours!" Yujun yelled out exited. "There doesn't seem to be much other rooms.."
