Lee Taemin was smiling widely under the peach blossom tree. His cheeks flushed pink just like the color of those cherry blossoms...He even wore light pink hoodie and covered his hair with his pink hoodie. Hyunwoo never forgot those plump pink lips who greeted him in friendly way, lips that formed beautiful smile, and lips that tempted him in spring ...

8 years ago ...

Hyunwoo and Hoseok were running in the train station. Sweat all over their faces, they fastened their pace when they saw one particular train was about to leave the station.

"Oh no..no..no...nooooo! Hoseok, faster!!" Hyunwoo shouted in panic mode.

Hyunwoo increased his speed. He was getting closer to the train now.

Hoseok was panting hard. He fixed his backpack and ran faster. He saw Hyunwoo had jumped onto the train. Hoseok grunted and he was desperately increasing his speed. He saw Hyunwoo's face popped out from the train door. That robot was actually smirking to him now.

"Hoseok-ah!! Faster! Japan will not wait foreveerr!!" Hyunwoo laughed while pretending to extend his arm to Hoseok.

"Shut up!" Hoseok grunted. He actually felt panic inside. This was not funny at all, he groaned. At his last attempt, he managed to reach the train. Hyunwoo held his hands steadily and pulled him up into the train. They fell instantly inside the train with a big laughter coming from both of them.

Hoseok wiped his tears. "Man! That was close! And you, evil! How could you leave me behind?!" he slapped Hyunwoo's arm.

Hyunwoo only laughed.

After their laughter was over, they stood up and staggered straight to passenger's section. After two compartments, they found their seats and sat with a big huff.

They both closed their eyes in exhaustion.

"For the sake of Japanese finest woman!" Hoseok whispered in disbelief.

Hyunwoo chuckled. "Please hit me hard if our efforts was paid in vain where women that we met were there were only Koreans."

Hoseok laughed. "Deal."

The first part of the journey was to get from Seoul to the southern port city of Busan. They booked seat on South Korea's KTX (fast train) in "Seoul Station". It departs at regular intervals so they found no difficulty to buy a ticket. From Busan they planned taking the ferry over to Shimonoseki Japan. And transferred to Nozomi bullet train out of Shimonoseki. The journey to Tokyo from there is only 5 hours.

Hyunwoo and Hoseok planned this holiday earlier spring and they had same wish which was to visit Japan in backpacker style or affordable style. Hyunwoo was feeling more enthusiasm in sense of adventure and travelling while Hoseok wanted to spoil his romantic side which was seeing cherry blossom tree blossoming in Tokyo - Kyoto. Hyunwoo at first only scoffed the idea but he turned to be a bit thrilled seeing festivals which would be held during cherry blossom season. They managed to save their money and rejected the pleasure for a while to experience their own vacation as college student in their 2nd year. Minhyuk unfortunately couldn't join them because his father was married again after 2 years his mother passed away. So there were only both of them enjoying their vacation.

Hyunwoo was awaken and shook Hoseok's shoulder. "Hoseok-ah! Let's get off!"

Hoseok groggily opened his eyes and scratched his head while yawning." What? Wha--have we arrived?"
