Owen's POV:
"Time to sleep, Pookie," I hear Sean say as I walk into the bathroom. Locking the door behind me, I have a short pep talk to myself.
"You can do this Owen. You won't take up her space or roll on top of her. You won't hog the blankets like Sean does and you won't drool all over her face," I tell myself.
After that, I splash my face with cold water and then walk out of the bathroom.
You can do this.
I walk towards the bed and then climb under the covers.
I make sure I'm at my edge of the bed so that I don't take up Sang's space, and then start to fall asleep. It was a nice change to not worry about my father doing anything to me while I sleep.
I feel Sang climbing into bed, and then I fall asleep.
-------------------
Sang's POV:
I try climbing into bed as softly as possible so I don't wake up Owen. I push all my nerves of sleeping next to him away and try to sleep. In a few minutes, I'm fast asleep on my pillow.

I wake up in the middle of the night from the cold and start to shiver uncontrollably. I look to my right and see the outline of Owen sleeping in the darkness. Maybe if I move towards him I'll get some body heat. I start to scooch over and stop when I'm a few centimeters away. Ahh, that's nice. I'm a lot warmer now.
I start to fall asleep when Owen's arm hits me. Oh no! Maybe I should move back. It's better to suffer in the cold than to be extremely embarrassed. Before I can start to move away, I feel his arm wrap around my shoulders. Feeling more body heat, I snuggle into him and sigh happily. I'm was finally warm, but I also had a strange feeling in my stomach. It was like there were butterflies in it.
Maybe I'm getting sick. What happens if I get sick and barf all over Owen? Oh no, that would be horrible! I involuntarily shudder at the thought.
"Shhh, go to sleep," I hear Owen whisper to me while pulling me closer to his body.
Oh no, that just made the butterflies in my stomach flutter more. Ignoring the feeling, I try to fall asleep. And in a few seconds, I do.
------------------------------------
Sean's POV:
I wake up from my dreamless sleep with a large yawn. Sitting up on the bed, I look around the room. I'm the only one awake. Eh, might as well study for my test that was right after winter break. Speaking of winter break, when does it end?
Walking to the bathroom, I pass by Sang and Owen snuggled up to each other on their bed. Oh, that's cute....
WAIT WHAT!!!
I turn around abruptly and look at them once again. Am I imagining things? I rub my eyes to see if I really am. I look back at them again and see they're still snuggled up to each other. Am I dreaming? I pinch myself to make sure.
Nope, this is really happening in real life.
Wait! Let me take a picture of this. I can always show it to Owen. Wow, it turns out Owen has a soft spot for Sang. Thinking of the sight again, I start to feel a little bit of jealousy. Why am I feeling this? I just met the girl. I must have mixed emotions about something else. I brush off my jealousy and take a picture of them. Maybe I can use this to blackmail him.
Hey! That would be funny.
After washing up in the bathroom, I take out my books and sit at the table in the corner of the room. Time to study.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
After two hours passed, I hear someone yawn. Looking up from my book, I see it's Kota.
"Morning," I tell him.
"Good Morning," he replies and then starts to get up. Placing his glasses on his face, he starts to walk to the bathroom.
Getting up, I walk to the coffee machine and make some coffee for him.
"Can you make me some tea, Sean?" I hear Sang say from her bed.
"Sure thing Pookie," I say while picking up a tea packet from the bowl right next to the coffee maker.
I'm about to place the tea packet in hot water, when I hear a knock on the hotel door.
I walk up to the door and open it thinking that it was someone from the other room, but I hear an unfamiliar voice.
"Hello, Sean Green. It's nice to meet you," the 50 looking-year-old man said.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" I ask with a little bit of fear.
"I'm Phil Roberts. The reason why I know you will be confusing, so I think we should discuss this while sitting down," he said.
"There is no way I'm letting you into our hotel room," I tell him while closing the door slightly.
He starts to laugh.
"No, don't worry. I can meet you in the lobby. We can discuss my reason of knowing you over breakfast," he says while turning around to walk away.
"Oh yeah, you should also bring Sang, Owen, Kota, Nathan, Silas, North, Luke , Gabriel, and Victor with you. They'll also need a reason as to why I know them. I'll be waiting," he says and then disappears down the hallway.
Was this guy stalking all of us? That'd be completely crazy. Should we even meet him in the lobby?
"Sean, who was that?" Owen asks from behind me. Everyone was also looking at me questioningly.
I recall what just happened to them.
"Should we go?" I ask.
"I mean, if he already knows who we are, then we should go down. We never know what he could do next. Anyways, the receptionist is also down there. We won't be alone," Owen says.
Everyone agrees with him.
"Okay, let's do it then," I say.
"Kota, could you go tell the other room?" I ask him.
"Sure thing Sean," he says and then leaves the room.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
In the next 20 minutes, we're all ready.
"Alright, let's go crew," I tell them as we all gathered in the hallway.
Let's hope we're not being lead to our deaths.
