I woke up feeling refreshed, a sense of happiness lingering from yesterday—it was definitely one of the best days of my life.

I glanced to my side, where Jeongin was still asleep, his face peaceful and relaxed. Smiling, I carefully slipped out of bed, not wanting to wake him. After a quick shower, I made my way to the kitchen where Changbin and Chan were already up, chatting quietly.

"Morning!" I greeted them with a bright smile.

"Morning, Hae!" Changbin grinned back. "Breakfast is ready. Could you wake the others for us?"

"On it!" I replied cheerfully and headed back to the rooms.

"Wake uppppppp!!!" I shouted, loud enough to get everyone's attention.

Groans filled the room as the boys stirred, each one of them slowly waking up, rubbing their eyes, and stretching.

"Good morning!" I said sweetly, hands clasped behind my back, wearing an innocent smile.

"Yeah, give us that innocent face after you screamed at the top of your lungs," Lee Know mumbled, still half-asleep.

I giggled. "Come on, breakfast is ready!"

They reluctantly shuffled out of bed and followed me to the kitchen. Everyone sat down to eat, the smell of freshly cooked eggs and toast filling the air.

"So, what's the plan for today, Chan?" Han asked, his mouth half full of food.

"We're probably going to explore another area. But you, Haewon, Hyunjin, and Lee Know are staying here," Chan said, pointing at us.

"Why do we have to stay behind?" Lee Know asked, eyebrow raised.

"Because I said so," Chan replied, flashing him a teasing grin.

After breakfast, we all washed our plates and got ready for the day. I watched as the others gathered their gear, Chan asking for the fifth time, "Did we get everything?"

"Yep!" Felix replied, giving him a thumbs up, clearly used to Chan's over-preparedness by now.

"Alright then, let's head out. Bye, guys! Don't set the place on fire or get yourselves killed!" Chan waved as the group walked out the door.

"So, it's just us four now," Hyunjin said, his tone relaxed.

"Yay, alone time," Han joked sarcastically, though he was smiling.

"Oh, by the way, have you guys seen my ducky plush?" I asked, looking around the room for it.

"The one Hyunjin won for you yesterday or the one you sleep with every night, which, I'm assuming, was also from Hyunjin?" Han teased with a smirk.

"Yeah, the old one," I giggled, ignoring his teasing.

"Didn't you sleep with it last night?" Lee Know asked, looking slightly confused.

"I did, but when I woke up, it wasn't there!" I pouted, crossing my arms in frustration. I hated losing things, especially something so sentimental.

"Don't worry, Shorty, we'll help you find it," Hyunjin said, patting my head affectionately.

"Yeah, it couldn't have gone far," Lee Know added.

With that, we started searching around the room, lifting pillows and blankets as we tried to find my plushie. It was a small thing, but it was important to me. I glanced over at Hyunjin, who was already checking under the bed, and my heart warmed at the sight.
