"Sehun?" The other figure called out barely above a whisper as it sat itself down the edge of the bed. "Sehun-ah?" 

Slender fingers slowly wrapped themselves around the sleeping boys shoulder shaking them gently. "You have to get up now."

The youngers eyes slowly fluttered open and quickly landing on the olders smiling face. 

"What time is it, hyung?" He spoke lazily as he stretched out his long limbs. 

"A little after nine." The older stated as he removed himself the edge of the others bed. "I figured we could all eat breakfast together and explore the area since we have the day off." He continued fixing his gaze out the window. 

The younger hummed a slight response as he sat up stretching some more before following the olders gaze out the window. 

"California, sure is beautiful. No wonder Ta- He chose to come here." The other remained silent as he looked over to him allowing a small frown to appear on his face as he notice the pain in the youngers eyes. 

He stayed that way for a few moments longer watching the younger lose himself in his memories before realizing the other probably wanted to be alone now. He promptly cleared his throat and smiled at the younger.

"I'm gonna go check on the others so you can get ready. We'll eat around Ten."

The younger smiled at the retreating form of the older as he got himself up. 

"Thanks, Suho hyung."

 

  Breakfast went by smoothly the other members joking around with eachother and practicing up on their English. Afterwards they all argued about where the should go and what they should do before deciding to split into different groups. Sehun ended joining Chanyeol, Xiumin, and Baekhyun who were going the the beach. As they arrived they quickly decided on a spot to set their stuff before agreeing on a game of volleyball.

  All was going well before Sehun spotted him, that gorgeous man that

  The sunlight flooded through the open curtains showering the hotel room in it's warm glow, although the figure sleeping on the king sized bed wrapped in the fluffy duvet seemed completely unfazed by it's intrusion. A light knock on the door echoed around the room causing the relaxed expression on the sleeping beauty's face to contort into one of mild distress as they snuggled closer into 

so completely and utterly distracted. The way he styled his blonde hair, the way his designer sunglasses framed his beautiful face, the way his black tank top and rode up just slightly exposing his middle, or was it the way his swim shorts were clinging to his slender hips just low enough for Sehun to make out a very distinct V shape? But, then again maybe it was the way he was just there relaxing under an umbrella with his headphones on, existing in his own world.

  To tell the truth Sehun wasn't sure himself, all he knew was he couldn't tear his eyes away from the man, and it had his heart racing in a long forgotten form of excitement. He decided to excuse himself from the game to go and introduce himself to this gorgeous creature that had him so enticed. As he got closer it would seem the man had noticed him as well, and Sehun's heart raced faster as the blonde turned his head to stare in the others direction fully. The other mans lips parted slightly in a surprised fashion as he sat up and gave Sehun who was now in front of him his full attention as he pulled off his headphones. He shifted nervously for a moment before flashing the man a polite smile. 

  "Hello, I'm Sehun." He introduced himself quickly in English as the other mans lips formed a slight smile as he nodded at Sehun. A moment of awkward silence settled between them as Sehun struggled to remember some more English. The other man continued staring at him from behind his sunglasses for a few more moments before shifting as he became slightly uncomfortable. 

  He said quickly completely forgetting he was in America and that this man probably didn't speak Korean, but to his surprise the man hummed softly and raised an eyebrow. He understood him?! This gorgeous creature spoke Korean? Sehun quietly thanked his lucky stars before deciding to sit down next to the man. They stayed like that for a while Sehun rambling to the other who stayed mostly quiet except for a few hums and grunts. And before he even knew it, the guys were collecting him as it was time to meet up with the others. It took every bit of courage he had left in him but Sehun decided to 

ask the man for his number as he handing him his phone, to which his heart nearly jumped out his chest in excitement when the man nodded and entered his number into Sehun's phone before gathering his things and leaving himself. 

 To say Sehun was surprised by this mans name would be an understatement. Crown?

Sehun couldn't help but stare at his phone in confusion. Crown. After a quick and silent debate with himself he decided it was probably the mans nickname or something and let it go as he quickly joined up with the others as they headed back to the hotel. 

  It took a Sehun a few hours to work up the courage to text Crown and another half and hour to decide what do even text him. He settled on a simple greeting before throwing himself and his phone down on his bed. 

 

 

A few moments passed with him just laying there staring at the ceiling relaxing before an all too familiar ding had his heart racing all over again. 

 

 

Sehun just laughed to himself quickly typing back a reply. 

 

 

 

 

Another laugh erupted from Sehun as he stared at his cellphone screen smiling. 

 

 

 

 

By now the man had him smirking feeling oh so confident in himself.

 

So please be single.' 

 

Sehun's heart was practically beating it's way out of his chest by this point. He couldn't believe he was being so foreword with this man. I mean he never even asked if he was gay! He just sort of assumed he was...

Time seemed to drag on forever as Sehun sat there worrying while he waited for a response. 

 

 

 

Sehun didn't even a chance to get to read the message before another ding rang out from his phone. 

 

 

Sehun's fingers at this point were flying across the keyboard typing out a response before he even had time to register what he was saying.

 

 

It took a good long hour for Sehun to get a response, and the one he got sent his body straight into over drive. As he scurried around his hotel room putting himself together. 

 

 

Once he got himself put together he sat on the edge if his bed. Should he actually go down and meet up with him? What if crown wasn't actually gay and was just playing along. I mean they did just meet earlier that day. But Sehun honestly couldn't help what he was feeling. He was so completely and utterly drawn to the man in every way. 

Sehun took slow and steady almost calculated steps down to the park. It was a little after 6:30 and the sun had recently begun to set, so it wasn't actually dark out which put his mind at slightly ease.  After a few more steps a bench came into view along with the silhouette of a man sitting on it. The butterfly's in Sehun's stomach started going crazy and his heart all but leapt out of his chest. 

A few more steps and the mans face came into view this time minus those designer sunglasses. It had Sehun's all but gasping for air as he stopped directly in front of him. Neither the man nor Sehun said anything for a long time, they just stared at eachother before Sehun began sobbing uncontrollably as sank down to his knees. 

 

"T- Tao." 

 

The other man got up from the bench quickly and bent down to wrap Sehun In his arms as tears fell from his eyes as well. 

 

"It's okay, Sehunnie. It's okay. Shh, it's okay. I'm here now. I'm here."
