Author’s POV…

Everyone had finally assembled after Selena roughed Hoku up a bit for being late.

“Yah! Stop doing that!” Hoku shouted shoving Selena away from her before the guys took a hesitant step forward to help break up the fight.

“Best if you just back up.” Tyra warned them as both she and Eden backed up.

“I’m guessing they do this a lot?” Jiyong asked as Eden nodded.

“All the time.” Tyra chanted as everyone just watched Hoku and Selena’s staring contest.

“You’re so irritating.” Hoku muttered before fixing her bikini away from stray eyes.

“So what are we playing?” She then asked to whoever was listening as Tyra stepped forward.
“We need to teach the guys how to play ‘Marco Polo’.” Eden offered as Hoku snorted looking over flabbergasted.

“You called me over to play that?” She asked shocked as Selena nodded.

“What’s Marco Polo?” Jiyong asked confused as the guys all shrugged.

“Oh god, even I know what that is.” Steph muttered causing the girls to laugh.
“It’s a game you play when one player in blindfolded or just shuts his eyes, he’ll yell ‘MARCO’ while those who aren’t out are running around away from him yelling back ‘POLO’.” Hoku explained easily slipping her dress back over before placing Jiyong’s coat onto her bag off the sand.

“What do you do after? We just chase around without seeing?” Daesung asked confused as Hoku sighed.

“The one that’s out uses his ears to hear where people are when they answer back, right?” She asked as the guys nodded.

“When the out person thinks he knows where someone is, he can yell FREEZE, and then we’re not allowed to move.” Eden added as the guys all nodded in understanding.

“Ah I see.” Seungri nodded in understanding while the others followed along.

“I’ll be out on the first round then.” Tyra offered now dressed in her large shirt while the others began to scatter.

“You can’t go too far.” Hoku mentioned as everyone stayed nearby.

“MARCO!” Tyra shouted with her eyes shut.

“POLO!” Hoku announced gesturing with her hands for everyone to follow as they did. They laughed and played like this before Tyra ironically found TOP oppa without a second thought. Everyone broke out laughing as she basically tackled him to the ground the second she touched skin. Top’s eyes were then covered and on started the next game. They played this for a while before finally Hoku had gotten out from Steph. Hoku stood in the middle of the group, covering her eyes before sighing as she shifting in the sand.

“MARCO!” She shouted smiling listening to the random whispers around her.

“POLO!” She heard everyone shout. She knew who she wanted to get out, but she needed to find him first so she paid attention to each voice as they yelled. Soon enough she could pin-point his exact location and yelled FREEZE. Everyone muffled their laughter as Hoku reached her hands out in the small direction Jiyong was now hiding in. He smiled, accepting the fate that was heading towards him. Hoku slowly walked towards him with her hands reaching out before they landed on something warm. She smiled inwardly before grasping onto it tightly. Jiyong smiled at the others before stepping closer to her causing her to bump into his chest.

“YAH! You moved cheater!” She snapped shooting her eyes open before accusingly pointing a finger at him. He just smiled before shrugging it off and walking away.

“What a push over.” Selena whispered rolling her eyes at the annoying love birds in front of her. Daesung ended up out in one round and basically tackled Steph to the ground thinking it was one of his Hyungs.

“Wow Dae oppa, didn’t know you were serious about her?” Hoku teased as Daesung opened his eyes before yelping at the sight below him

“Yah! At least help her up!” Top hyung snapped as Daesung got up quickly before helping her up and bowing. Steph stood there with the most noticeable blush around while Daesung quickly tried to busy himself with something.

Daesung’s POV…

She hates me. She hates me. I tackled her. Oh my god, what is wrong with me? She did smell good though. Oh shut up. What the hell is happened? Another one of those inner battles with myself, and ironically over the same subject, our tour guide, sigh. She was pretty, smart, funny, and really easy to talk to, but it seemed whenever I tried to, she would look away from me. Did I do something wrong? She didn’t like me, did she? I don’t know why at times like these my courage to do anything would diminish into thin air before I could swallow. Fated to be forever alone, I guess. I’m dead, I just tackled that poor woman to the ground, lying on top of her, oh no, what have I done?

Steph’s POV…

I was now lying out on my back, bare to the sand while one of the most famous men in Korea laid on top of me, for all the wrong reasons. Well this will be another reason I never play games on the beach and in a bikini nonetheless, talk about awkward situation. My cheeks were burning through the roof, I don’t think my eyes could get any bigger, and on top of that it felt as if my body just froze up. Watching him hold himself up with his hands while looking down at my flabbergasted had to be one of the most embarrassing times of my life, but also one of the most heart clenching times too, he was beyond beautiful.

“Sorry.” He whispered equally embarrassed, quickly climbing off before offering me a hand. I had every intention of jumping off the ground and booking it out of there as fast as I could, but my heart had other plans. I put my hands hesitantly into his surprisingly soft ones before he helped me up.

“Are you ok? I’m sorry.” He said again genuinely worried about my well-being, something I was not used to yet.

“I’m alright, it’s alright.” I mentioned now dusting myself before looking around to the eyes directed at me. Did I do something wrong? Did I say something wrong? Daesung quickly scurried away from me and behind Top-ssi before Hoku walked to stand next to me.

“Don’t take it the wrong way, he’s just extremely shy.” She informed as I nodded, also not sure how I was supposed to take this entire situation.
