Touring with Block B

Close to Home

Izzy's POV

It's been two months since opening night, we were touring on the east coast now and next we were heading to Charlotte, North Carolina. Jiho and I have gotten closer, we spend almost everyday together now.

It's so quiet on the bus because everyone is asleep. I look out the window and see cities that were passing off the interstate. They seem so lifeless, then again it is 3 a.m. I haven't been to Charlotte since I was in high school and I was excited about going around the city, not just that but because that meant that our next stop was my home town of Charleston, SC. I'll get to see my mom and dad...it's been about three years since I've been home and I can't wait to surprise them.

 A few hours passed,we got to the arena and did our sound checks and then decided we were going to find breakfast. We managed to find a Denny's near by and decided that would be the best option because even if no one wanted breakfast we'd all be set. When we walked in there were some teenagers and some older couples along with a few families, we didn't think that anyone had noticed us so we walked over to a corner and sat down.  The server walked up to us looking down at her pad, as soon as she looked up she smiled really big. I seen she was looking at Zico before she looked at me.

"I can't believe you guys came here of all places. I have tickets to your show tonight." She looked back at Zico. "Can I get your guys drink order please."

P.O. smiled really big at her "Coke, please"

No one else really looked up from the menu when telling her what they wanted. We all ended up with tea or water aside from P.O. A few minuets later I seen some heads poke around the corner and looked up, kitchen staff were looking out as if they didn't believe the server that we were really in the restaurant.  I smiled at them before looking back down at the menu. Zico nudged me and I looked at him.

"What's on your mind?"

"Huh, I'm just trying to figure out what I want." i said

"Then why are you smiling, your up to something."He laughed.

It's sad that he knows me enough to know when I'm up to no good.I point to where the staff was.

"She told the people in the kitchen we were here and they all looked around the corner to see if she was telling the truth." I kept smiling.

" Oh, do you want to leave?" he asked with a serious look.

"no, well be fine."

The waitress finally came back after a few minuets to take our orders. Once we all  ordered she went back to punch in our orders. We all started talking about what was going to happen in the next week since we got an unexpected break. I brought up our show tomorrow in Charleston. I missed the city so much and I wanted to rent a car for a couple days to drive around and visit the town, to share it with Zico.

"So I want to surprise my parents tomorrow and have a car pick them up and bring them to the show." I said. "I figured we could stay with them for a few days then go to Disney or universal."

"Your parents?"They all said in unison before I watched all of them look at Zico.

He looked at me and got up grabbing my hand. We walked outside and I seen people looking at us as we left the restaurant. He let go of my hand and walked to the end of the sidewalk before turning around. He looked at me and smiled, then looked down at the ground. He pulled a cigarette out and lit it.

"I wish you would have told me. I don't really like surprises like that. What if they don't think I'm good enough for you?" He looked at me.

"Your kidding right. Your parents want you to marry a nice Korean girl, maybe we should be worried about what they say. My parents will just be happy that I'm happy especially after they hear about Branden."
