"He looks so peaceful." a voice wavered, coming from directly across from me. It sounded soft, like they were trying to be quiet.

"He sleeps a lot, kind of like you, hyung."

"Shut up."

"Okay but we're here, shouldn't we wake him up?"

"You should do it, he's sleeping on your shoulder."

"I'm not gonna do it." 

"Do you think he'll like it? Maybe we can even get a smile out of him."

I groaned, my eyes opening slowly. "I can hear all of you." I mumbled, sitting up, rubbing the side of my neck. We were all sitting in a large van, with the back seats facing each other, There were four of us in each row, and I was wedged between Jin and the window. I didn't take up much space, and therefore, didn't need as much room. Unfortunately, that meant that there was a 50/50 chance of my head rolling onto him. And that's apparently what happened. 

I darted my eyes to the floor. "Sorry." I coughed, clearing my throat of all traces of sleep. Jin patted my leg tentatively. 

"You're fine, no need to apologise. We're here." he smiled, pointing out of the tinted window. I glanced up to where he was pointing, and read a big sign that said "Lotte World". I scrunched up my eyebrows. 

"I thought we were going to an aquarium...?" I asked quietly. I opened my door, cool air rushing towards my warm face. I adjusted my hat and mask over my face in case there were any Pistols or Armys around. The other members did the same, following me out. I could still tell who was who by height, and clothing, obviously.  I shoved my hands into my black hoodie. 

"We are. Lotte Word has an aquarium. Have you never been here before?" Hoseok questioned, albeit a bit loudly. He seemed excited. 

I shook my head. "Never. I was raised in the US, and when I came to South Korea I spent all of my time on studies, and on my trainee career."  

"What? You never had any free time off? We're definitely bringing you back here for the rides some other time, then." He scoffed. He grabbed my wrist, making me wince. Hoseok began dragging me towards the entrance, while I looked back at the other members for help. Namjoon just looked at us, and shook his head, following after the group. 

"Yah, Hoseok, not so rough." Yoongi called, trailing behind. I was still being dragged by my hyung, and he showed no signs of stopping until we reached the entrance. Taehyung latched himself onto my arm the second we did finally stop, huffing from keeping up with our brisk pace. His pale green face mask drooped a little, and moved with his heaving breaths.

"No...fair...why do you get to be so close with him? " he wheezed. Obviously for show, since these boys were used to constant dancing and exercise. I didn't know if he was speaking to me or Hoseok. I just rolled my eyes, scooting out of Hoseok and Taehyung's reach. Both hyungs frowned, but I stayed put. 

Namjoon reached into his pocket, pulling out a bunch of cash that they all probably pooled to do this. I decided to reach into my own hoodie pocket, pulling out my wallet.  The boys all looked at me confused. 

"Colby-ssi, we already have all the money we'll need. We can pay for yours, too." Jimin piped up. I shook my head. 

"No, I can pay for myself. Besides, I don't want to have to make you guys pay for me, it's not fair to do so. I've already burdened you with the stress of having to add me as a member."  I walked up to the counter, where a small girl around my age wearing a uniform stood, looking bored. Her hand supported her head, and she looked like she'd rather be anywhere else at the moment. She looked up, smiling a little too brightly upon seeing me.
