"I thought we were going to see the Hollywood sign," Xukun frowned as the group walked into another amusement park.

"We'll go tomorrow since Crimson has to go to some meeting," Yanjun said throwing an arm around the girl's shoulder.

"Why didn't gege come," Chengcheng asked, talking about Yanchen.

"He's meeting with his other boss," Linkai replied. Scarlett was hoping that Yihui didn't have more work to pile on for the two of them. At the rate, Scarlett was going to need another assistant.

"I thought he was back home with Dad," Justin muttered. He didn't ask for an explanation so Scarlett didn't say anything.

"I kinda wanted to go to the beach," Ziyi admitted, scratching the back of his neck.

"There's something I really wanted to do here today and right after that we'll leave if you guys want, but just give me a couple hours," Yanjun said and the others mumbled their okays.

"Have you been here before, Scar," Zhangjing asked, on the opposite side of Yanjun.

"I was supposed to for a field trip, but I got sick so I had to stay home," Scarlett thought of the time. She was so sad about not going too, but someone stayed home with her instead of going himself. He was her nurse for that day and stayed by her.

"I would've cried," Nongnong frowned, no one was surprised.

"I did, but it wasn't cause I couldn't go."

"Then why?"

"Did you throw up," Zhengting asked looking back at her and she nodded. "Scarlett hates throwing up so much that she cries about it."

"Oh, thanks for exposing me," Scarlett shook her head, pouting.

"Oops."

"So where are we going," Justin asked and Yanjun walked ahead of everyone with Scarlett.

"He probably has no idea."

"What are we doing here? I thought we were going on rides," Scarlett looked around as they waited beside a huge stage that had musical instruments just sitting there.

"You can ride m-"

"Bro, what did we say about that," a familiar voice yelled. Scarlett turned around and saw three boys standing right behind her with wide smiles.

"My losers!"

"Surprise!"

"Woah~ its them," Chengcheng looked at each of the males as they all hugged Scarlett.

"Who are they," Ziyi muttered, nudging Xukun with his elbow.

"I have no idea."

"Guys, this is Eunwoo, Rui, and Luke. Guys, this is Justin, Linkai, Zhangjing, Zhengting, Chengcheng, Xukun, Ziyi, and Nongnong," Scarlett introduced pointing to each of them.

"Hey, dudes," Luke smiled, nodding his head at them.

"Hello!"

"They're taller than I expected," Rui muttered looking at each of them.

"Jiejie," the boys bowed to him in thanks and Rui nearly lost it.

"I'm a boy!"

"Anyways," Scarlett giggled. "What are you guys doing here?"

"We're going to perform," Luke informed as Eunwoo was talking to Justin on the side. They were laughing about something, but Scarlett wasn't sure what about. "Eunwoo, Rui, me, and you."

"And who exactly said I agreed to that," Scarlett narrowed her eyes at the blonde boy.

"Your boyfriend."

"Yanjun," Scarlett looked at him to see a smirk on his lips.

"There's a very special reason why though," he shrugged his shoulders, but enjoyed it.

"We have news," Rui smiled to her. "I got into a company back home so I'll be moving back this summer to be a trainee."

"That's awesome! Which one," Scarlett asked knowing that Rui had wanted to get into one for a long time.

"You wouldn't know them. It's new, but Eunwoo and Luke have their own news." Scarlett's eyes moved back to Luke who was smiling brightly.

"My new band got signed to a company and we'll be touring by next month."

"Holy shit," Scarlett said, but quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Zhengting who glared at her. "Sorry, but that's crazy! I'll be waiting for my tickets in the mail."

"You're rich," Luke narrowed his eyes, earning a smack on his arm which he laughed and rubbed the spot.

"What about you, Dong," Scarlett asked, taking his attention from the other boys that lived with her.

"I'm joining a group out in Korea so I'm going back home too," the boy smiled, revealing his pretty wide teeth.

"Probably cause you're a pretty boy, huh," Scarlett joked. "Can't wait to see your moves."

"I don't have two left feet...anymore."

"Sure."

"So we going to do this or what," Rui asked, pulling out a pair of drumsticks from his back. He waved them in front of Scarlett who thought for a moment.

"Okay," she smiled and took them into her hands. "Let's do it."

A crowd gathered since Scarlett's old bandmates put word out that they would be performing. Yanjun and the others sat to the side of the stage watching the group play music.

Scarlett looked happy on stage, her eyes were bright and her smile was genuine.

"Where's the other guy," Zhengting muttered looking at the stage.

"What other guy," Zhangjing asked.

"The lead singer, there was five of them in the band. It wasn't just Scar, Rui-ge, Eunwoo, and Luke," Chengcheng muttered.

"Supposedly he quit the band a long time ago. They don't like talking about it though," Justin informed, staring at the stage.

"Weird," Ziyi murmured.

A song ended and Scarlett banged her drum once more before relaxing in her stool and twirling a drumstick in her hand skillfully. Her eyes moved over the crowd then stopped at the boys who all waved at her. She smiled and waved back. Her eyes focused on Yanjun who smiled, proudly watching his girlfriend.

And when Scarlett looked at him, her smile grew ten times wider.
