The girl turned around and looked up at Mason, Suho who was sitting next to the girl, writing something on this phone, turned his attention away to the boy and frowned. Emma looked at Suho who now put his cell phone in his pants pocket and remained silent.

"Aren't you going to answer?" Mason asks. Emma swallows a dry one and looks down.

"It's been months, Mason. It's time for you to move on." She responds by focusing on the boy again.

"You know I don't break my promises." Mason says pointing to Suho. "Who is this?"

"I'm Emma's boyfriend." Suho answers politely He looks away to Emma who buried herself in the chair with her hands in her face.  

"Right." Mason chuckles. "Never seen you around here." 

"I don't really stand out, that's normal." Suho shrugs. Mason rolls his eyes and leans over to Emma looking at her. 

"Not today, tomorrow. But I will. Don't forget that." He whispers loud enough for Suho to hear in the chair in front. Emma turns her head to answer but is interrupted by Suho.

"That's not going to happen, pal. If I were you I'd give up already. It's a waste of time." Suho answers. Mason shrugs and leaves.

The sitting couple sees Mason leaving and joining a group of friends. Suho grabs his mug by taking a sip of his drink and places back on the table. Emma remains quiet. She runs her hands through her hair. 

"Sorry for him, I guess. I thought he was out of town." Emma says while playing with the little sugar packet in her hands. Suho shakes his head. 

"You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault." Suho answers.

"I know but– Just yesterday we talked about him, that he was no longer boring and you didn't have to worry, but it seems I was wrong." Emma still responds with her head down focused on the tiny packet. He gets up from his chair and pulls it closer to Emma, sitting again and putting his hand on her thigh.

"I don't care about him, he can bother us all he wants. It's not going to make my vacation here with you less good." He says by taking the sugar packet out of her hands and putting it on the table. Emma follows the movement of Suho's hands and looks at him. He chuckles and gives her a little kiss on the lips.

Kai opened his eyes and looked away watching Anneliese sleeping peacefully and with no sign of waking up so early. He smiled and as he tried to turn around he noticed that he had his arm making a pillow for the girl, sighing and afraid to wake her up he tried to lift the blonde's head carefully but she snuggled closer to him. Chuckling, Kai shakes the girl lightly and lays his head on hers.

"Rise and shine, babe, we have to go meet Suho and Emma." He whispers in Anneliese's ear, she shakes her head.

"Emma doesn't need me, she has lived here her whole life, she's a good guide." She turns her back on Kai as she shakes her hand in the air and prepares to go back to sleep. Kai chuckles. 

"I know, but we said we'd have lunch with them and it's almost 1:00pm." He recalls the blonde.

"I need to stop making plans the night before because I'm too comfortable to leave now." Anneliese responds opening her eyes and rolling in bed. Covering herself with the sheet to the head.

"I'm glad my arm is comfortable, but now we need to hurry." Kai says, he got out of bed, taking his travel bag and putting it on top of the bed free to take off his clothes. She groans. 

"Fine, fine. I'll take a shower first." 

"Can I join or am I going to be assaulted?" Kai asks as he closes the bag and puts it back on the floor. Anneliese frown.

"I thought you said we needed to hurry." She says, crossing her arms. Kai shrugged and approached her, pulling her by the waist. 

"I'm sure they won't mind spending another half hour alone." He replies by giving her a kiss on the cheek. 

"But do you deserve it though?"

"I do."

After breakfast the couple had gone for a walk around the city, to show a little of the city since they had gone to a café downtown. After that, and seeing the time, the couple decided to go to the hotel where Suho and Kai were staying to wait for their friends who had just woken up according to the message that Kai had sent to Suho. At the door of the hotel, Suho was leaning against a pillar hugging Emma who was leaning against him facing the street, the two waited a good half an hour until Kai appeared hand in hand with Anneliese and with a smile on his face.

The four of them greeted each other and headed to an Asian food restaurant nearby that Anneliese loved so much. When they got there and greeted the waiters standing at the door, they directed the four of them to a table and immediately went to give them the menu. Kai grabbed them both and passed one to Suho and politely thanked the waiter with a smile.

"What did you do in the morning? Anything interesting?" Anneliese asks by taking her eyes off the menu and facing Emma. Emma looks at Suho and chuckles.

"Well, we almost got caught by my parents when we were leaving my house." Emma replies. Anneliese is surprised and pass the menu to Kai.

"Oh, aunt and uncle Andersen arrived earlier this time?" She asks. Emma nods.

"Yep. They did." She says. "And after that we went for breakfast where we had the unfortunate pleasure of running into Mason." Anneliese closes her eyes and sighs deeply.

"Oh my god, that piece of crap is everywhere. If I have to punch him again, I will." 

"Let's hope it won't be necessary, but please, Suho tell me you punched him." Kai intervenes by putting his hand on Anneliese's thigh and he looks at Suho who shakes his head. 

"You know I'm not like that." Suho starts taking a sip in his drink. "I tried to remain calm but he was really getting on my nerves."

"To be able to bother you he must be really annoying." Kai points out. 

"Trust me, you'd have punched him already if it was with Liz."
