"This is where you and the girls will stay." Hoseok oppa opened the door and greeting me was a very posh hotel room. Damn. Everything looked so expensive I might just fly back to Korea. I bet the bathroom would look ten times better than what this room was showing me. I scratched the corner of my brows, exhaustion has quickly sipped through my body the moment I saw the plush bed.

My brother has been keeping an eye on me ever since we set foot on foreign land. Never has he let go of my hands. Even if my palms began to sweat, he still held it. Seriously, he acts as if I'll disappear in to thin air or be kidnapped by crazed fans.

"Woah. This is nice." My mouth is still agape as I walk to the bed. I internally screamed when the soft mattress hit my skin. I didn't even notice until now that my knees were aching. "You can go now, oppa. Thank you." I quickly dismissed him, my hands were still playing with the soft duvet. He narrowed his eyes at me before he finally decided to step back and give me space.

The moment he walked out of sight, I immediately grabbed my phone and snapped a photo of the suite I was in. The room consisted of two queen sized beds and a fairly large living room. Gosh. I can stay here forever. I sent the photos to the girls. I'm not even sure if they're awake at this time but I tried anyway.

I laid on the bed doing almost nothing when I hear a knock on the door. The loud hits on the wood pierced through the silence. I got up and put on my sandals this time, setting aside my converse tops near my luggage.

"We'll be heading out to the stadium location to check out the stage. Will you be alright here or do you wanna come with?" Namjoon oppa was frowning. It almost seems like he doesn't like the idea of me being left alone in my own room. I flashed him a reassuring smile and made a thumbs up. I really don't feel like moving today. I'll just pour everything out when the girls arrive and we start rehearsals.

"Very well. Here's your brother's card. He says that you can use this in case you get hungry." I graciously took the black thin plastic from Joon oppa's hands and cradled it like a precious baby. "When will you be back?" I asked him, pocketing my brother's card.

"Maybe around noon? We still have an interview scheduled after we finish visiting the concert location." I sucked in a breath. Good thing I declined then. I didn't want to be a distraction from their work.

"You should go now, then. I'll be alright here. I'll text you guys updates if ever you still feel worried." I gently pushed Joon oppa's shoulder, urging him to start walking. Knowing him, he will pull me back to the van just to really assure his overprotective self that I'm safe.

Yoongi oppa was probably the one who convinced him to let me have the choice to stay in. I heard him sigh before he finally took a step back. He had his hands tucked in his pockets and his dimples were out again, indicating his troubled thoughts.

"Fine. Call me immediately if something happens, okay JiJi?" When he saw me nod, he finally turned on his heels and walked his way to the elevator.

Our days has been wonderfully spent playing board games during the daytime and at night, me and my brothers sneaked our way to the streets to go sightseeing. It was so fun. I didn't realise that I craved for their chaotic presence until I started to hang out with them again. Its like I am in high school again. They still treat me the same. Making fun of me and at the same time siding with me just for the sake of pissing another person who wanted to bond.

My members finally arrived around lunch time. They were immensely mobbed in the airport by fans especially TXT. I just realised now that we were supposed to room with only two people. The suite was too big that I assumed we were all going to fit in one room.

This time I got to share the space with Ria. Our manager thinks it would be fun to switch roommates. We spent the remaining hours of our break pampering each other and communicating with fans on weverse. She has been going on and on about my new hair and that I should post a selca on our twitter page. She informed me that our fans have been moping because they only got to see the change through the pictures posted by Yoongi oppa.

"Oh— Ria, I just got a message from Kibum oppa. Our rehearsals are moved early. We'll be heading out to the venue at 6:30 am." I read through my messages before looking up at the youngest's face.

"Then that means we'll officially start our reality show early in the morning. Ugh." She plopped herself violently on the bed and started thrashing around. I laughed loudly at the maknae's cuteness.

Ria isn't exactly a morning person. She enjoys her sleep and rest more than a normal person would. And I understand though; she is still growing.

"Aren't you excited? We'll be given more chances to look around each cities because of the show." I reached over and ruffled her hair. I hear her let out a groan.

"Let's just see tomorrow. Good night unnie." She stood up from the bed and gave me a hug. She turned off the lights and switched on the lamps on the side table. "Good night Ria."

I just finished my interview with the staff and now I'm sitting here on the foot of the thrust stage sipping on iced coffee. The questions asked were typical. How I felt with being one of the opening acts for our sunbaes, what my goal was throughout the tour, if I had a desired country to visit and many more. I'm guessing this will be the opening clips for 'Make a wish, G:NiE!'.

"I just finished! Eunbi unnie's next then we'll start practicing." Ga eun sat beside me and without a word grabbed the drink in my hand.

"Where's Ria?" I peeked behind her to find the maknae but she was nowhere in sight.

"She's bugging the directors backstage. She wants to learn editing." Ga eun rested her head on my shoulder and swung her legs back and forth.

"I watched the song cover you posted a day ago. It's great! You were so in to it." I tensed when Ga eun began to open up about the video I posted before they arrived here. "It was for him, no? Don't try to lie."

I remained silent, looking anywhere that separated me from the girl beside me. I tried my hardest not to melt by the heavy gaze Ga eun was giving but I guess everything is ineffective because I see myself unconsciously nodding my head at her.

"Jesus christ. You two should make up already! It's so frustrating!"
