Ji-eun glanced down once again at the denim jacket which swamped her frame, thankful for the protection as she felt another gust of wind rush past her legs. Sehun walked ahead of her and a small smile appeared on her face as he chatted animatedly with one of the assistant directors, thankful he no longer seemed too guilty about the airport fiasco.
Behind she could hear the heavy footsteps of the crew, all seemingly exhausted from hauling their heavy equipment around all day and she glanced quickly at them as she recognised the excited ramble of the director following the group down the dimly lit street.
"Hopefully we will be finished by the end of the week. Maybe you'll even have a day off to see some sights" he chattered happily. Ji-eun grinned to herself, focusing on the cobbled pavement beneath her feet as she heard a quiet chuckle respond to the man. The deep voice startled her as he jokingly replied "I'll make sure to work extra hard then" and Ji-eun walked more rapidly as they turned the corner, telling herself she needed to get back to the hotel quickly and get some proper sleep.
After a while, everyone had filled the hotel lobby which was sparkling with fairy lights and still busy with people enjoying the evening. A few stopped at the entrance to the bar, looking questioningly at the staff who rushed back to their rooms but seeming not to recognise Ji-eun. She sighed in exhaustion, grateful that she wouldn't have to force conversation with anyone and said goodnight to Sehun, telling him to go enjoy himself with the rest of the staff while she got an early night. He gave her a concerned glance but she waved him away tiredly, pressing the button for the elevator.
Her feet ached where her sandals had been rubbing and she unbuckled the shoes, peeking at the broken skin on her heel and staring as the number above the lift lowered and she lethargically stumbled inside. As she stepped in she peeled the shoes from her feet, wincing slightly before relaxing into the grey carpet as she reached for the button of her floor.
"Wait a second" a voice yelled and an intruding figure joined her in the lift, nodding his head in recognition and then looking down at her bare feet in confusion as a smirk appeared on his lips. The pair waited in silence and Ji-eun moved her feet uncomfortably, wincing with awkwardness while she waited for him to speak again. He coughed, seemingly amused and Ji-Eun quietly gasped as a bell sounded and the heavy doors of the elevator began to open, trying to get away before he spoke.
"Wait, Ji-eun!" he yelled behind her as she entered the hallway, watching her back as she rushed towards her room. Her shoulders sagged at his words and she quickly swiveled her face towards him.
"My feet are blistered!" she yelled through the deserted hallway, watching as his eyes widened in amused shock at her sudden outburst.
He didn't answer for a moment and the pair simply stared at each other, with Ji-eun reeling from the embarrassment of her words.
After a few seconds, Chanyeol looked back at up, trying to hide his grin and reached his arm out towards her.
"I was just going to ask for my jacket" he chuckled, watching as she looked down for a moment at the thick material which was still resting on her shoulders. In one swift motion, she ripped it from her arms and threw it in his direction, quickly turning back to her room as she raced down the hallway.
"Goodnight" he chimed in amusement.
--------
The next morning, Ji-eun awoke due to the rumbling to her empty stomach and quickly changed into a summer dress to search for some food. Above her, she could hear the rushed footsteps of other people and she quickly stumbled to her door, giving her a reflection a glance of approval in the mirror as she left.
