----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It felt like forever as the boys decided on who was going to stay with me. After Sandeul’s outburst Gongchan quickly disagreed to it and opted for me to stay with him and then Baro interrupted and said maybe I should stay with him instead. Jinyoung and CNU backed away from the arguing and stayed neutral about the whole situation; Jinyoung went to talk to his parents about the issue soon after and finally a decision was made.

“Since you three want to room with her so badly we’ll play a game to see who gets to be with her.” Jinyoung spoke up and made the three stop talking and pay attention to their leader. “My parents will hide certain things around the hotel and parking lot and whoever finds five of the things first is the winner.” So they were going to play a scavenger hunt to see who would room with me?

“Can’t I just choose who I want to room with?” I asked shyly bringing everyone’s attention to me. They were silent for a minute until Baro and Sandeul started laughing at my idea and waved it off.

“Can’t you see a scavenger hunt is fun and exciting and gives us a challenge.” Baro commented and Sandeul agreed with him while CNU just sighed knowing my idea was a lot easier and would save a lot of time.

“Don’t worry May I’ll win so we can have tons of fun hanging out together in our room.” Gongchan spoke up with a huge smile on his face and to be honest I would rather him win then the other two. Sharing a room with a boy who looks like my first love or the boy who took my first actual kiss did not seem too comfortable, but staying with my best friend would be a lot better since we’ve already discussed that we only see each other as friends.

Though I have to admit if I wanted to share a room with anyone it’d be with Jinyoung, it might be awkward and embarrassing but I’d have the chance to be with the boy I liked for a whole week in the same room, but he wasn’t even interested in it in the slightest.

Once Jinyoung’s parents were done hiding the items they handed the three boys a list of the items and a picture next to them for the competitors to go off of. When every boy had their own list Jinyoung set them up in a line and shouted, “Start!” and just like that the boys ran off in different directions to find the items.

In the meantime Jinyoung, CNU and I sat on the nice comfy couches in the main hall of the hotel and talked for a bit about what we were going to do for the week. “So we’ll spend two days at Disneyland and one day at Universal Studios. Then we’ll have one free day to do whatever we want but the catch is we have to go with someone since my parents don’t want us going alone—“

“More like you’d get lost if you go alone.” CNU chuckled and Jinyoung put a finger to his mouth and made the ‘Shh’ noise.

“The rest of the days we’re still deciding on but we’ll definitely take a day just walking around as a group and seeing everything on the streets. We’ll be heading back on Sunday and its Monday now so we have roughly a week if not less so we have to try our best to get everything in before we head back home.” Jinyoung continued and pretended like he did not hear CNU’s comment about Jinyoung’s ability to get lost anywhere and everywhere he goes.

“Oh and May.” Jinyoung turned his attention to me with a serious look on his face. “Please don’t tell your parents about the whole staying with someone this week, I know its wrong to lie but they’ll not be too happy if they find this out and I don’t want us to lose anything because of this. Whoever wins won’t try anything they’re too childish.” Jinyoung sighed, “I wish I spoke up first then it wouldn’t be so awkward having to room with someone since you know I wouldn’t even dare do a thing with my parents around.”

I couldn’t help but smile at his kind words and I had half the mind to just tell him that I wanted to room with him and no one else but I knew it’d get awkward if he knew I really did want to share a room with him. “It’s fine, I won’t tell anyone and I know they wouldn’t do something, Baro and Gongchan had spent the night at my house once and they didn’t do a thing—“ I paused to remember my kiss with Baro and waking up next to him. “—I hope.”

“AND THE WINNER IS!” Sandeul ran through the front doors with five things in his hands and my heart instantly sank. “ME! LEE SANDEUL! I get to room with May! Ha I knew I’d win, they should have just let me share the room from the start without having to do all of this nonsense.” He crossed his arms with a smirk and walked over to where the three of us were. He sat down casually next to me and put his arm around my shoulder making me lean into him. “Don’t worry I’ll follow the rules and be good.”

I couldn’t help but blush at the sudden contact between him and me and if it weren’t for him being so cocky and loud I probably would have instantly thought he was my imaginary Sandeul instead of the real one. “Right.” I commented back in the most sarcastic tone I could muster up.

Before he could say something back Baro and Gongchan came back into the hotel panting and completely out of breath. “Sorry May, I failed you.” Gongchan stated dramatically before falling to the floor to catch his breath and rest for a while. Baro remained silent but didn’t collapse on the floor but rather walked to a different couch and laid on it and turned away from everyone out of shame of losing.

“Now that that’s out of the way can you guys please lug your things to your rooms? CNU and I already decided we’d room together so it’ll be Baro and Gongchan in one room and of course Sandeul and May in the other.” Jinyoung stated and pointed to all the baggage the three boys had brought. Gongchan whined a bit more but eventually sat up and grabbed his things and a key card from Jinyoung and disappeared into the hotel. Baro waited a bit longer before doing the same as Gongchan and disappearing to his room.

“Come on May we have unpacking to do.” Sandeul grinned and stood up turned around and held out his hand to me. I sighed but decided not to be sad about this turn of events and grabbed his hand for him to help me up. We grabbed our things together, got our key cards from Jinyoung and went off to the elevator to get to our room. After checking on the key card we had room 505 which was obviously on the fifth floor. They said the rooms were next to each other so most likely the rooms around us were the other members of the group but we were unsure of what rooms they were.

The elevator ride didn’t take long and neither did finding the room, once we reached it we opened the door and took all of our things in and set them down beside the door so we could look around before claiming a spot.

It was like any other hotel room with a TV in the middle of the room, a small stand in the middle of the beds, one being by the window and the other being closer to the door. The bathroom was to the left of us as we walk in and the closet next to it. And like always the room was missing a lot of things like a microwave and other small things that normally come in a room.

“I want the bed next to the window!” Sandeul shouted like a little kid grabbed his things and ran to the bed he had mentioned and sat on it with his things next to him. He smiled back at me before placing his things on the bed and turning to look out the window. I couldn’t help but giggle and smile at his actions and allow him to have that bed; he seemed so much like him it was almost like I had based my imaginary friend off of Sandeul, but that wouldn’t make sense at all the first time I’ve ever met Sandeul was when I moved here.

“I guess I’ll take this one.” I moved my things over and did the same as him and lifted them up to my bed. I really didn’t need to unpack anything but we were allowed time in our rooms for most of the day since the real things weren’t happening until tomorrow.

Sandeul continued to stare out the window and sighed, “I really hope I can go to the beach this time. I remember last time something happened and I wasn’t able to go.” It was very far but a view of the ocean was close enough for Sandeul to see out the window and I knew then that was the reason why he wanted that bed so much.

“What happened?” I asked looking out towards the ocean as well.

“It snowed too much and I know something else happened because of the snow but I can hardly remember that now.” Sandeul replied but kept his eyes out the window and away from me. I had the sudden urge to go over there and hug him but I knew things would get awkward fast if I tried anything. Ever since the beginning when I met him I pushed my feelings away from him and kept a distance from getting close. I grew close to Gongchan, I talked to Baro, I crushed on Jinyoung I did everything possible to stay away from Sandeul in classes where I knew someone else. I had a feeling he knew I was doing this and I had a feeling that was why he would push so much to hang out with me or talk to me but I couldn’t help it. Every time I’ve ever been alone with Sandeul I either think too much about my past or start forgetting some of it. There were times in History together where I completely forgot things about imaginary Sandeul and I would only remember him once I was away from the real one.

“Well I’m sure you’ll have the chance to see it up close this time, but why do you want to go so badly knowing its winter and it’s too cold to swim?” I looked away from him and glanced at the TV and the night stand and anywhere but towards the window at him. I felt suddenly embarrassed to be with him alone even though I felt warm and comfortable with him at the same time.

“I just want to go and walk along the shores; okay I know that sounds kind of weird and most people don’t do that, but I just want to be close to the ocean, not swim in it.” Sandeul responded with a calm serious tone of voice. “If I do have the chance to go, would you go with me?” This was the first time he turned away from the window and looked at me. He looked so peaceful I couldn’t stop myself from saying yes and agreeing to go with him. “Great!” He smiled and returned to a happier mood. “We can pack a lunch and eat out there and it can just be the two of us!”

I giggled at his sudden enthusiasm and nodded to his idea, “So just the two of us? No one else?”

“Yeah, it’ll be like a date.” His smile just widened and I couldn’t help but smile wider as well.

After that we both decided it was about time to go down to the lobby and see where everyone was at, it was getting close to dinner and as everyone knows when Sandeul is hungry he wants to eat right then and there.

When we reached the lobby everyone was already there except for Jinyoung’s parents and we just joined the other four until Jinyoung’s parents came down soon after and asked all of us what we wanted to eat. Everyone wanted something different but in the end they all decided they wanted pizza and we were off to a random place close by that served pizza; which happened to be Pizza Hut.

We sat down at our own table while Jinyoung’s parents sat in a booth close to us but allowed us enough privacy to speak to each other as teenagers without them easdropping on our conversations. In our booth I sat in between Sandeul and Gongchan while Baro sat in between CNU and Jinyoung; it was a fairly large booth so we had no problems fitting everyone in, but even so I still leaned more towards Gongchan to keep myself feeling comfortable even though only a little bit ago I had told Sandeul I’d go on a date with him.

It took a few minutes before a brave looking waitress showed up at our table held in her breath and asked, “Are you ready to order?” She aimed her question at me and at first I didn’t understand why until I realized she probably thought the boys didn’t know english well since they look foreign.

“Yes!” Sandeul exclaimed, “I want lemonade as a drink, bread sticks as an appetizer and a pepperoni pizza.”

It seemed the boys didn’t notice her nervous-ness but when Sandeul spoke in perfect English she seemed to have calmed down and started to write down his order and turned to me next.

“I would like just a lemonade.” Before the waitress had gotten there it was decided that between the six hungry people three would order pizza, two would order an appetizer and the rest would just order their drink.

“I’ll have a coca cola and a cheese pizza please.” Gongchan ordered and sat back in his seat trying to find a new comfortable position.

“Just a Dr. Pepper for me.” CNU smiled and the waitress jotted down his order as well, Jinyoung ordered the second appetizer and a tea for himself and Baro ended the order with a coca cola as well and a three meat pizza.

“Alright I’ll have your drinks out in a little while and the appetizers will be soon after.” She smiled and with a nod she left the table and allowed the six of us to hang out in privacy once more.

After getting our drinks I needed to head to the restroom before the meal actually started, when I was coming back I heard some of the waitresses and waiters talking now I wasn’t trying to listen in on their conversation but the second I heard, “In a group of five boys, she’s obviously some sort of to be hanging around so many of them.” I stopped and hid slightly to see if they were really talking about me.

“What if she’s a sister, or family member?” A waiter asked and glanced at the table where B1A4 was talking at and laughing at some joke.

“They’re all Asian, she’s an American for sure there can’t be any relation.” My waitress spoke up but their conversation ended there because she had to go the back to get our order.

I walked out confidently after she disappeared into the back and walked towards the group that was about to get back to work, “For the record they’re all my friends, and don’t be expecting a tip from me tonight.”

As I walked away from the group I couldn’t help but glow with pride and if I wasn’t in a public place I would have jumped for joy. Okay so I didn’t say that to the face of the girl who started the conversation, but I still had the courage to go up and say that to the rest of them! I was glowing with pride when I got back to the table and Gongchan asked me if anything was up but I kept it to myself and decided not to let anything ruin the rest of my night.

And for once nothing did happen to ruin the rest of my night. We got our orders, enjoyed our food had a great time, paid for our food and walked back to the hotel with smiles on our faces. I knew having five boys as my best friends wasn’t going to be easy in the eyes of the public and my high school just got used to it and I’ve never been made fun of it or called any bad names but it did feel good to slightly stand up for myself when people talk about me. I didn’t tell any of them because I didn’t want to get them involved and maybe since I’m still used to not having friends I didn’t want to tell them because I didn’t know how they would react.

In the end…back at the hotel room I ended up telling Sandeul everything. I’m such a loser, I forgot completely that he was the real Sandeul and ended up letting out all of my feelings to him and even though I acted so high and mighty back at the restaurant here at the hotel room it finally hit me that she had called me such a bad name just because of who I hung out with.

I didn’t mean for Sandeul to comfort me that night, but it just felt so right. He felt so comfortable and warm in my arms when he hugged me and said it was alright. He felt so perfect when he looked me in the eyes and said friends are always there for each other. He mentioned this before back when we first met, but this was the second time he brought up the fact that he felt like he knew me. He felt like he met me before and that was why he felt so at ease when I was around. I just wanted to tell him the same exact thing; I wanted him to know all about my past and my only best friend since the second part of my second grade year.

But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I didn’t want to lose him, I didn’t want to chance him thinking I’m a freak and leaving me all alone once more.

I just wanted to continue to love him from afar without getting too close.
