I lie on the stripy sunbed on the porch in my polka dot sun dress reading my favourite book.
An almost irremovable smile stuck to my face as I remember yesterday. I close my eyes and bite my lip as I remember. I'd never experienced anything like that with someone else.

I feel someone tap my head and ruffle my hair slightly and turn to see Tae jumping onto the sunbed beside me smiling.

"Whatchu reading?" He asks boredly.

I sigh trying to hide my smile and flip over the book to find out the title although I already know it.

"The vegetarian." I smile .

"Boring." He rolls his eyes.

I pffh. "Why can't you read something more interesting."
I furrow my brow as I continue reading. "Yeah? Like what then?"

"Fifty shades of Grey?" He smirks and waits for my reaction.
I laugh embarrased and look away slightly.
"Mhm." I reply.
"I'm so bored, can't you stop reading and talk to me instead?" He whines as he shuffles around on the chair.

"Mhm." I hum in reply, engrossed in my book.

His strong grip grabs my book and snatches it from me.
"Hey!" I protest as he folds the page with one hand and holds me back with the other as I try to get my book back.

He places it on the table amd smiles. I sigh and turn on my side to face him.
He looks me up and down and smiles ans laughs slightly.

"What?" I ask . "What are you laughing at?" I grin as he laughs into his sleeve.

"What!?" I repeat as I chuckle nervously.
"Nothing, its nothing , I just." He stops and smiles at the sky.
"Don't make me say what again." I beg.

"I've never seen you like you were yesterday, like that."

I blush desparately. What does he mean by that, I repeatedly ask myself.

"W-well I'm not like that really, I just got carried away." I hide my face with my hair by looking down.

"Not like what? A normal person?" He laughs. "Its normal, I've just never sesn you so desparate, it was nice."

It was nice? To see me desparate? Whatever your into I suppose. My uncle has a foot fetish so I take this news lightly.

"Right." I chuckle umcomfortably.

I take book number two from the pile beside me and start reading.

"Round two?" He teases smiling.

"Pah!" I half choke half laugh. "Goodnight." I roll over turning my back to him and close my eyes. The heat from the sun eats my skin.

"I was jokingggg." He laughs . I feel his strong hands grasp my leg as he drags me off the sunbed making me land harshly on my bum on the porch.

"Taehyung!" I bite my lip smiling and slap his leg.
"Ow!" He laughs as he tries to contain my kicking legs. He cups both my heels and stretches my legs out into a middle split.
"Ow!" I smile.
"Wow you're pretty flexible."
"I did gymnastics for three years- Tae if anyone sees us they'll think were crazy!" I chuckle and cover my mouth as someone walks past and shoots us a dirty look.

Tae looks behind him and salutes the man walking past with his hand smiling.

"Tae stop!!" I cover my face with embarrasement laughing.
He puts one heel on his shoulder and leans in to kiss me stretching my leg.

I smile, "Can you become a yoga instructor instead of an idol?" I joke, but a part of me hopes he'll consider it.

"Pah." He sighs as he releases my lwg and grabs both heels.
"You can't stretch one leg and not thw other!"
"Sorry." He smirks as he leans in for a kiss with the other leg on his shoulder.
"Thats better," I whisper. "I feel even now."

He shakes my legs side to side slowly like a seesaw.

"So we only have eleven days left of our holiday here and I've planned activities that I want to do before it ends," I sit up as I grab my notepad from beside me and flick to the page I have written my list on.
He creases his brow as he tries to peek at it upside down .
"Mhm," I clear my throat. "Day 11, relax!" I smile at him from behind my notepad. "I made it as even to both our interests as possible."
He rolls his eyes. "So far anyway."
I smile knowing ninty percent of the schedule is tailored to me.

"Day 10, tommorrow , nine a.m" I emphasise. The worry in his face increases. "I've booked us for a trip out whale watching." I squel with excitement. I've always been in love with whales and sea life. When I was young I had posters and books about whales all around my room. I've never seen a whale in real life, mother never liked the sea, it made her sick , so whenever we were near a place with whale viewing tours I was never aloud to go.

"Pfh, okay no, no, why not like shopping or something?" He looks at me desparately.
  "B-but I love whales, I've never seen one in real life ! I really want to go!" I pout. I've previously educated him on my whale fascination.

"You and this whale obsession." He smiles.
"I've never seen one before !" I remind him while he decides.
"Yeah you have stop lying ."
"What?" I ask unsure. Have I?
"I've seen you looking in the mirror before!" He bites his lip as he contains cruel laughter.
"Hey!" I half smile half try to act angry and I slap his arm .

"Fine, I'll go! I'll go!" He exclaims through slaps from me.
"I love how you act like you have a choice." I flick a magazine open defingly.
  "Arent you going to tell me whats on the rest of the list?" He grabs the refill pad.
I snatch it out of his hand. "You will find out everyday." I place it back .
"Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise would we?"
"Depends what it is."
"Nhmm."

"TAEHYUNG!"
I fling my head around curiously flipping down my sunglasses. My brother runs towards us, his face scrunched up as he runs.
"What?" I mouth at Tae.
"I got it !" My brother gasps , his face red. He holds up a red ball. "I got it."

"Thats great! Lets go?" Tae smiles.
Utteely confused I sit up and take off my sunglasses.
"Yeah." Seojun starts walking and Tae follows him.
"H-hey!" I follow them to the steps and look down at them from there .
"When did this happen?" I fold my arms.
Seojun shrugs and bounces the ball off the ground. Tae grabs it quickly and holds it above his head as Seojun protests and tries to jump up and reach it.
"When will you be back? Where are you even going?" I press.
"We're going to the court to play , we'll be back later."

"And no girls aloud!" Seojun atomps his foot as he shoots me an evil look.

I put my hands up in surrender and roll my eyes. They dissapear down the street bouncing the ball as they go.
