Part 2

A grin flashed on his face when he noticed that the group of ladies sitting at the next table were talking about him. He knew he didn’t mishear their giggles and mistaken their blush as make-up the moment he walked past them earlier.

As if on cue, the cute one wearing a yellow bikini and laced cover-up approached him.

“H-Hi.”, she said, the tone depicts her nervousness.

Chanyeol took his sunglasses off and smiled back at her before winking at the two girls back at her table. And, of course, they squealed.

He found it embarrassing for them to act that way in public, but he managed to hide it behind his smile. He’s used to this kind of attention anyway.

“I’m Maggie.” The lady’s hands are still mid-air, waiting for him to accept the handshake. And of course, like the gentleman he is, he took her hand and kissed her knuckles. It almost caused a scene as her two friends’ squeals got louder.

Just as he thought this tour wouldn’t get any better, Chanyeol’s suddenly sure he’s getting a foursome even before the cruise ship arrives at the island.

He only saw the island through pictures on the internet, but he already knew it was beautiful. The sunrays that touched his skin and the fresh breeze of air welcomed him the moment he stepped off the ship. Not everyone gets an all-expense paid vacation from their company. Chanyeol definitely embodied luck when he got selected for it.

He saw the natives carrying flower necklaces and offering them as a welcome gift to the other tourists, but he was quick to decline when it was offered to him.

“Allergic. Sorry.” Chanyeol politely said, and thankfully, the native understood what he meant. With his suitcase beside him, he joined the group of tourists but kept just enough distance to ensure he wouldn’t be sneezing the whole day.

“Welcome to Isla Lumina!”, an old man wearing a coconut-printed polo welcomed them with arms wide open. There are hundreds of people around them, and he’s happy that the island again gets the chance to be known and patronized. Tourism will surely help the local businesses in their small community.

After a short speech about the pandemic and an introduction to their island, the man introduced someone named “Kai”—a tan-skinned male who was wearing nothing but board shorts. Kai proudly smiled as he displayed his well-toned body for the tourists’ eyes to devour.

Chanyeol rolled his eyes as the ladies who were just with him on his bed earlier that day squealed in unison when the male mentioned that he was one of the tourist guides. Good thing Chanyeol’s wearing his sunglasses so no one probably noticed him rolling his eyes. The ladies weren’t good performers in bed anyway so it’s not like he’ll invite them for more.

“You will be staying in that hotel during the whole tour. We prepared activities for everyone, and we have local delicacies for you to try, but the most important thing is everyone enjoys their stay on our beautiful island." Kai surely knows that aside from his physique, his smile is his greatest asset and he uses it well.

If only his charms could be of any use to a certain cute guy, then it would’ve been really great.
