"Gyeongpo beach, everyone!"
There was an eruption of cheers inside the van once everyone had caught sight of the sea just a short distance away. But they didn't go to the beach just yet, and that's when Hyora learned that the downside to spontaneous trips was not being able to avail a good lodging ahead of time.
Mr. Kim brought them to a guest house which was a five-minute walking distance away from the beach and stores. He had only helped the group bring some of their stuff in before driving away back to Seoul since he was still busy for work, so the nine of them were left standing in their small, private courtyard with all their luggage strewn on the floor.
"Well, shall we decide which rooms we sleep in?" Jongdae piped, clapping his hands together.
Hyora, Baekhyun, and Sehun immediately walked towards the wooden front porch of the small house where there were two adjacent doors, discovering that they were two rooms, both equipped with their own bathroom and kitchen. They were built somehow like two separate houses but in one building.
"The inside is so small!" Sehun complained as he approached Luhan. "And there's only one bed!"
At Sehun's words, the rest of them checked the rooms for themselves, finding indeed only one bed in each room where probably only two people could fit in.
"Perhaps we could ask for sleeping mats?" Chanyeol suggested as he sat on the porch.
"Or we could just move to a hotel where it's actually right in front of the beach," Luhan proposed.
"Nonsense!" Jongdae said. "It's a little cramped here but that's the beauty of this trip, isn't it? We'll all be much closer! It's more fun!"
"You mean it's more discomfort," Hyora whispered to herself. She didn't exactly like the idea of sleeping in one room with Chanyeol, so she was anxious to get this all over with.
"Yeah, hotels are expensive. Besides, they're probably fully-booked considering it's the middle of summer."
"And we're only going to be here to sleep anyway! We'll be outside at the beach all day!"
"Let's go borrow some sleeping mats and pillows then."
With that issue solved, the only problem left was to figure out who were sleeping in which room. There wasn't really any difference between the two rooms, except one would have one more person than the other which was obviously a disadvantage to use the bathroom.
It was also a matter of which trio or duo will be sleeping on the floor while Hyora and Hanna take the bed.
Jongdae raised his hand. "I'll be rooming with the girls. Who's with me?"
The two girls exchanged glances, and they immediately understood: definitely not Chanyeol and Jongin.
"How about Baek and Kyungsoo?" Hyora said, suggesting the two names that first popped into her head. "They're a lot smaller than the rest of you so the three of them should fit well together."
