Rehearsals passed by smoothly. The heartfelt conversation I had with Jin oppa had been pushed to the deepest parts of my head— and I hope it stays there forever.

It was immediately and completely replaced after the head PD of the tour announced that we can spend the rest of the day for free. It was as if the talk never happened. All I know was everyone was screaming in delight. We got dismissed early at 4:00 pm so everyone was very ecstatic, the place was brimming with claps and hoots.

"Unnie, I think there is a mall near us. I overheard it one time when Kibum oppa was busy buying us lunches." Ria tapped Ga eun and I's shoulders. She looked at the three of us back and forth to see our reactions. She must have been wanting to go out for a while now. Her legs were bouncing at a certain pace and her hands were all fidgety.

I actually saw this coming. Our youngest enjoyed window shopping instead of sight seeing. Hearing that there was a mall near the venue must have been honey to her ears.

"I'm fine with it." I chided in, turning to Ria who flashed me an appreciative smile.

Us girls were still in the dressing room, deciding still as to where we'll go. I heard the rest of the idols left upon hearing the announcement. I bet the older ones chose to sleep and the maknae's are wandering around the city by now.

"Where else? Our curfew is 9:00 pm so we have plenty of time." Eunbi unnie asked.

It was fascinating to see how the rest of us simultaneously pulled out our phones, searching for other tourist attractions in the city. The months we've spent together showing in our actions.

"Oh! Oh! The bridge! I forgot what its called but can we please go there?" Ga eun's eyes widened adorably as she pointed to the picture on her phone. "I think it's called Harbour Bridge. I'm not really sure but we can definitely go there! Right, unnie?" I turned to our eldest, hoping she'd say yes. Her words were usually a solid assurance to us so I couldn't help but plead with my eyes.

I can already feel the cold breeze as we walk through the bridge, lights glistening and a cup of coffee to warm our hands. It was perfect.

"Yeah sure! But we have to head back at 8:30, we don't exactly know how heavy the tra—" Eunbi unnie unexpectedly got cut off by someone knocking on the door. We looked among each other, silently asking the question 'did anyone hear that or..?' because our manager wouldn't be back for another ten minutes. I guess he finished packing early.

The knocking continued and Ria sighed. Automatically bouncing to her feet to get the door.

"The traffic. That was what I was about to say." Eunbi unnie continued.

"Yeah. That would be perfect unnie." I told her. I was about to add that she shouldn't have to worry because all of it was a suitable walking distance from the hotel we were staying at when Ria called for us. I scrunched my brows together when her eyes solely focused their attention on me. They had an unidentifiable glint to it. I couldn't help but question.

"Can you come here for a sec, unnie?" She called unsurely.

"Sure." I dusted off my pants and fixed the stray tendrils away from my eyes. "What is it?"

"Yeonjun sunbae is here." It was too late to turn away when she announced who the visitor was. I paused but still continued walking, I've already caught a glimpse of him so I didn't have an excuse anymore. "I'll leave you guys now. Uh— bye." Ria dashed away quickly.
