Heeseung
Lee Heeseung adjusted his sunglasses as he stepped onto the deck of the luxurious cruise ship, the ocean breeze tousling his hair. His bandmates followed closely behind, their excited chatter filling the air.
"Wow, this ship is huge!" exclaimed Sunghoon, peering around with wide eyes.
Jake nodded enthusiastically. "I heard they have an all-you-can-eat buffet. I'm going to eat until I can't move."
Sunoo grinned. "And a pool! We definitely need to hit the pool."
Jay draped an arm around Heeseung's shoulders. "What do you think, Heeseung? Ready to relax and forget about work for a whole month?"
Heeseung smiled, feeling the tension of endless rehearsals and performances begin to melt away. "Absolutely. No schedules, no cameras. Just us and the open sea."
"Let's take a group photo!" suggested Jungwon, pulling out his phone. The boys huddled together, flashing peace signs and goofy faces at the camera.
Ni-ki, the youngest, tugged at Heeseung's sleeve. "Hyung, can we go to the arcade later? I heard they have all the latest games."
Heeseung laughed, ruffling Ni-ki's hair. "Sure, Ni-ki. But first, let's find our rooms and unpack."
As they made their way to their cabins, their laughter and banter echoed through the corridors, leaving a trail of contagious excitement.

Aera
Ahn Aera clutched her ticket tightly as she boarded the cruise ship, her best friend Choi Minju at her side. They were joined by a few other classmates, all buzzing with excitement.
"Aera, can you believe it? A whole month to relax!" Minju exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
Aera smiled. "No more late-night study sessions or endless exams. This is going to be amazing."
Their friend, Kim Jisoo, nudged Aera playfully. "Don't forget about the bet, Aera. You have to hit on a guy before the trip is over."
Aera groaned. "I still can't believe I agreed to that."
"Oh, come on! It'll be fun," Minju teased. "Who knows, maybe you'll meet someone special."
"Or at least someone cute," added Park Hyunsoo with a wink.
As they moved through the bustling crowd, they overheard snippets of conversations in Korean. Aera spotted a group of young men taking photos and laughing together.
"Oooo, aren't they cute?" whispered Minju, her eyes widening. "They're very handsome."
Aera shrugged, not particularly interested in some random boys. "Let's focus on having a great time, okay?"
The group finally reached their cabins, and Aera let out a contented sigh as she plopped onto the bed. "This is perfect. Just what we needed."
Minju flopped down beside her. "To freedom and fun!"
"To freedom and fun!" the rest of the group echoed, their laughter blending with the lively hum of the ship setting sail.
As the ship pulled away from the dock, both Heeseung and Aera looked out at the endless horizon, ready for whatever adventures the cruise might bring.

Ahn Aera tossed her suitcase onto the bed and began unpacking, admiring the luxurious room she shared with Minju. The room was spacious, with a balcony offering a breathtaking view of the ocean.
Minju flopped onto her bed, staring up at the ceiling. "Holy shit, Aera. This place is amazing!"
Aera laughed, hanging up a dress in the closet. "I know, right? This is exactly what we needed."
Minju rolled over to face her. "I can't wait to explore the ship. Maybe find a cute guy for a holiday fling. What do you think?"
Aera shook her head, grinning. "You never change, do you? Always looking for romance."
"Hey, it's vacation! Live a little," Minju said with a wink. "You should think about it too. Get over that asshole ex of yours."
Aera sighed, sitting down beside her. "Honestly, I just want some time to myself. That relationship was so toxic, I need to recharge."
Minju patted her friend's hand. "Fair enough. But if you see a hot guy, just remember, it's vacation. No strings attached."
Aera laughed. "I'll keep that in mind. Let's finish unpacking and go check out the ship."
A few minutes later, they were out on the main deck, marveling at the ship's amenities. The pool sparkled in the sunlight, and the aroma of delicious food wafted through the air.
"Look at that pool! We have to go for a swim later," Minju said, practically bouncing with excitement.
"Definitely. And maybe hit the buffet too. I'm starving," Aera replied, her stomach rumbling in agreement.
They wandered around, taking in the sights and sounds, both feeling the weight of their university stress lift away with each passing moment.

Heeseung
Heeseung unpacked his suitcase, savoring the luxury of his VIP suite. The spacious room, complete with a king-sized bed and a private balcony, felt like a dream.
"This is fucking amazing," he muttered to himself, a grin spreading across his face. This break was exactly what he needed. They all needed it.
His phone buzzed with a message from the group chat. Jungwon had texted, "Hey guys, wanna go check out the ship?"
Jay replied first, "Still unpacking, man."
Jake added, "Same here, give me a few minutes."
Sunghoon chimed in, "Sorry, too much shit to sort through."
Heeseung chuckled and replied, "I'm in. Meet you outside my room in 5?"
"Perfect," Jungwon replied with a thumbs-up emoji.
A few minutes later, Heeseung met Jungwon in the hallway. "Ready to explore, Jungwon?"
Jungwon nodded eagerly. "Hell yeah. Let's see what this place has to offer."
They wandered the ship, joking and laughing as they went. "I can't wait to hit the pool," Jungwon said. "And maybe the arcade. I heard they have some badass games."
Heeseung grinned. "Sounds like a plan. This is going to be the best month ever."
Unbeknownst to them, Aera and Minju were walking on the same deck, their paths briefly crossing. Neither party paid attention to the other, lost in their excitement for the adventures ahead.
Little did they know, their fates were about to intertwine in ways they couldn't yet imagine.
