All of a sudden, he embraced you tight, like a loved one whom he almost lost.

You can feel his heartbeat, as well as yours.

But soon enough, he broke the hug with a smile plastered on his face.

"W-Welcome to Manila, Ju-Eun! We missed you! I missed your fatty belly, actually. That's why I wanted to feel it." He faked a laugh; trying to brush off the awkwardness he himself created; he was making it appear that the embrace was merely friend's hug. His joke was much more awkward actually, it was terrible.

"S-so, where are your rooms?" You changed the topic instead, trying to erase that inept memory from your mind. But deep inside, you will never forget that day – the day that your bias hugged you. You felt luckier than those million girls fangirling him.

Jimin pointed the door almost at the end of the hallway.

"Let's go?" He said and walked to the room that he was pointing to.

Walking to the room, it felt like hours, you felt every footstep you were making.

*Was it really just a friendly hug...?*

*I guess I'm just assuming too much.*

You dismissed your thoughts and laughed it off, making you look like an idiot. Jimin even turned around to you, having weird looks.

Just on time, you were in-front of their room, and Jimin opened it to reveal the six other glorious men.

But – they were asleep, there were three beds, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Yoongi were all well settled in their own beds, Jin and Hoseok were either sleeping on the sofa or some chair that they found, covered in a blanket. Everyone except for the one named Namjoon. He was sitting at the dining table, patiently waiting for you two along with a staff member, who seemed to be the director of their so called "Bon Voyage 2".

"Oh hey, Ju-eun. Glad to see you here. Jimin has been-" Jimin hastily cut him off, to the disappointment of Namjoon.

"Want a glass of water?" He asked you instead. You can see Namjoon laughing at the background while browsing his phone.

You nodded and went directly to the dining table, still pulling your luggage trolley. You placed it near the table, and sat near Namjoon.

"How's the flight?" He asked to break the silence between you two.

"It was fine!" You happily replied, grateful that they bought you the tickets to go here.

Jimin went back to you two from the kitchen, and with him a bottle of water and a glass cup. He handed you both of it and you nourished yourself with the ever-delicious water.

"It's almost lunch." Jimin took a peek at the wall clock just behind the dining table as he sat beside the director.

"I have an idea. We should all check a local restaurant here. That would be our first scene." The director suggested. It was a good idea you thought, but with everyone sleeping, you didn't think it would happen.

"They're all asleep though." You looked at the other members, still having their adventures in their dreams.

"That wouldn't be a problem." Namjoon winked.

Secretly, he connected his phone to the Bluetooth speakers, and viola. An alarm clock.
