December 30 London- UK 

It was after nine at night when the plane landed. Joalin had incredible days in Turku, her Finnish hometown, he could see her grandparents, uncles and cousins, but still, his mind was on a certain Filipino who, for some reason, barely answered his messages. 

When she said she needed to go to London, no one in his family understood and then, of course, they started to think that Bailey was her boyfriend. She didn't have to go through immigration but it still took her a while to find her bags and then, Matt. The airport was full, many going, many arriving and she was just another blonde in the crowd.

-Matt- she spotted her future father-in-law, walking up to him waving, trying not to lose sight of him.

-Joalin- they hugged- I thought I wouldn't be able to find you. Let me take your suitcase- he said, taking the heaviest one.

-Thanks- she said following the English man pulling only the handbag.

-How was the trip?

-Quiet and much faster than I'm used to- they laughed, what were a few hours after a flight from Japan to Brazil? - And Bailey, how is he? 

-Still weird, I'm getting more and more worried- they left the heated area for the parking lot, the cold wind made the blonde shiver, even facing even lower temperatures in Finland, no doubt her body was no longer used to it. -On Christmas night, I thought things had worked out, he looked normal. 

-But was it a passenger? 

 -Yes- he opened the trunk guarding the girl's things- the next day he had the same sad expression, seeing him that way and without understanding why is killing me. 

-I'm really worried about him- they got in the car and the older one started-He is always happy and excited, now he almost never responds to my messages. 

 -Not even for gym is going. 

 -So it's really serious- they laughed, cutting through the heavy weather.

-Anyway, he started to feel sad since we returned to England and each one returned to his native country. The two of you were even more attached in the last tour that you participated, so maybe he just miss you. 

 -Let's hope it's just that, maybe a little lack. 

-Yeah, I hope it's nothing serious- he took a deep breath and concentrated on the traffic for a while. His cell phone rang and as it was connected to the car, Joalin soon realized it was a call from Vanessa. Had Bailey found out? 

-Hello love, are you coming back yet? - the Filipina asked 

 -Yes, I'm already with Joalin on the way back.

-Great, Bailey is already in the room.

 -Okay, we're coming soon- The call has ended. 

 -What excuse did you have to pick me up at the airport? - the blonde asked curiously 

-Maya pretended to be sick and I said I would buy some medicine, as it was too late, Vanessa must have made him go to the bedroom before he could notice my delay.

 -Ah yes, I think he will be scared when he sees me here. 

-I thought you could knock on his bedroom door pretending to be me and when he opens it will see that it's you. 

 -Great idea

-If you don't mind, I wanted to shoot. I think the fans will going crazy. 

 -Yes, film, they'll love it. End of year gift for our fans- they laughed. 

 -Well, we're coming. We're unable to rent a very large house so quickly, to tell you the truth I was surprised that it has a small heated pool, a jacuzzi actually, but only three rooms. The rooms all have a double bed, do you mind having to share it with Bailey or Maya? 

 -No problem, I'm used to it - and it's true, when traveling with the group she always shared a room with one of the girls. 

It was strange when she was alone, she felt lonely and had nothing to do. Sharing a room with Maya would be a good thing. Or Bailey.  

-We arrived- he parked the car in front of a typical London house. It was possible to observe a third floor, where the jacuzzi should be and from where they would watch the fires during the New Year. They took the girl's bags and went up the three small steps before entering the house.

-Make yourself at home- he said quietly, leaving her bags by the door. -Hello- Joalin greeted Vanessa with a hug, a little embarrassed. Although they saw each other several times, they were not as intimate as with Matt, since he did not participate in his son's travels. -Glad you came, Joalin. I'm sure only you can cure our son's need- she said softly and playfully, eliciting silent laughter from those present. - How are you doing? - She referred to Maya, hugging the younger one lovingly. -Better now, I couldn't stand my brother anymore- once again they laughed. -Well, let's go to the surprise? -Matt asked and the Finnish woman nodded anxiously, snapping her fingers in a sign of nervousness -We will stay here because of the noise, otherwise he may end up noticing before the time -the older said-After we want to see the video- Maya winked at her. Joalin stepped on the wooden steps with all the care in the world, he didn't want the heels of his boot to catch the boy's attention. -It's that door- Matt whispered- Ready? - she nodded, taking a deep breath and stopping in front of it. Three hits.

-Who is it?- Bailey's voice came out hoarse and muffled, making the blonde shiver on the other side of the door.

-It's me- Matt said already recording everything, the fans would love it- Open it please- he took a few steps back, in search of the best angle. The sound of the door opening followed the Asian's voice.

-What was it- he didn't finish his sentence when he found Loukamaa, she smiled at him, his eyes were wide and his mouth was half open, his eyes were slightly red and his face was a little swollen, as if he had cried- JOJO- he woke up from the trance and said loudly, hugging the blonde so tightly that he lifted his feet off the floor.

Joalin smiled and unwittingly wrapped his legs around his waist. Matt was right, from the way he hugged her, it was as if he needed her there, more than anything else in the world.
