Author’s POV…

The next morning as guessed, Hoku refused to get up from her bed; she was so tired and exhausted from the previous days that she just wanted to lay in bed all day till their date tonight.

“What a lazy .” Selena spat as Hoku growled through the comforter before pulling it down and glaring at her.

“Well excuse me your majesty, but I didn’t have a nap yesterday when we got back. I had to work the chat.” Hoku snapped before rolling over and wrapping herself up.

“We’re gonna be gone for a while, are you going to be ok?” Tyra asked over as Hoku sighed before putting a hand through her tousled hair.

“Just go so I can go back to sleep.” Hoku whined before the girls snorted and quickly left her in the hotel suite alone while the guys joined them on their shopping spree.

“Is noona going to be ok?” Seungri asked worried as Eden nodded.

“She’s just tired, she needs her rest too.” Daesung added while the others nodded in agreement.

Hoku laid in bed half dead until she heard the hotel room shut heavily. Sighing in relief, she threw the comforter off of her before looking around her room.

“What am I going to do all day?” She whispered to no one in particular before she climbed out of bed only dressed in a pair of teal leg warmers and a large Big Bang tee. Brushing her teeth and hair slightly, she made her way out of her room and into the quiet living room. Looking at the view welcoming her from the living room windows she stretched before groaning.

“Finally, peace at last.” She whispered trotting into the kitchen and straight to the coffee maker. Turning it on, she began preparing a bowl of oatmeal mixed with a few fruits they had sitting in the fridge. Adjusting her reading glasses, she took the coffee mug and oatmeal bowl out to the balcony area right out from the living room onto the table set up. Soaking in the sun, she began eating her breakfast all awhile reading through the itinerary for Japan.

“Wow, we’re going to be so busy.” She whispered in realization to the packed schedule sitting in front of her. Considering that not only did she have to help the 2 girls take photos and interview the guys on their down time, but she was also going to be their translator in Japan for the 3 weeks they would be there for. She sighed agitated before putting both hands through her hair.

“If you keep doing that, all your hair will fall out.” A voice suddenly whispered causing a shiver to run up her spine scaring her.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH.” She screamed in reflex before the voice began laughing. Angrily knowing who it was, she snapped around to the laughing figure, indeed it was his almighty.

“What the hell are you still doing here?” She snapped cleaning up the spilled coffee now soaking up into her papers.

“What? You think I would leave you alone in the hotel?” He asked over amused before she groaned giving up on the papers.

“were they important papers?” He asked noticing her upset expression before she sighed and glared up at him through her glasses.

“Those were the teams itinerary papers, and your schedule for Japan.” She informed in monotone while his eyes shot open.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t think you would get scared easily.” He said now sounding slightly panicked while she rolled her eyes, not a let bit entertained.

“Now I have to get new ones from YG when we get back.” She mumbled sitting back down in front of her oatmeal while he took a hesitant seat next to her.

“You mad?” He asked never leaving her eyes from him. She sighed massaging her forehead before shaking her head.

“Its fine, it’s just paper, nothing serious.” She explained while he sighed in relief.
“So what are you planning to do today?” He then asked as she shrugged looking to the view.

“Was planning on just sleeping all day.” She muttered under her breath before curling her stray hair behind her ear.

“Let’s go eat breakfast.” He offered as she quickly looked over.

“What?” She asked as he stood from the chair before offering her a hand.

“I wanna take you on a breakfast date.” He informed smirking causing her to sigh before smiling and nodding.

“Fine.” She said in defeat, putting her hand in his as he helped her up.

Author’s POV on group outing…

“Where are we going?” Tyra asked over to Steph in the front seat.

“Hoku said to take you to the best shopping district on the island.” Steph informed back as they nodded and sat back.

“Can’t believe Hyung gave up shopping to stay in the room.” Daesung mentioned still in disbelief.

“I’m starting to catch on to what’s going on between those two.” Top added as the guys looked to him interested.

“What?” Seungri asked as Taeyang just listened in in interest.

“Don’t you see the way those two have been acting differently?” Top asked over as the guys shook their heads.

“Geez, seems like I have all the brains in the group at times.” Top muttered annoyed before sitting forward.

“Have you noticed that giant diamond necklace Hoku-ah’s been flaunting around?” He asked as Taeyang’s eyes shot open in surprise before the guys all nodded in realization.

“Do you think she’ll be able to afford that with her pay?” He asked hesitantly as the guys shook their heads.

“So you think they’re secretly dating?” Daesung asked as Top nodded.

“But why wouldn’t hyung tell us?” Seungri asked slightly hurt while they sat back in thought.

“Bae, you know something about this don’t you?” Top pointed out seeing the way the younger man was acting. Bae just sighed before looking to them.

“Ji, made me promise.” Bae informed as the guys glared at him.

“Ya! We’re a group, there are no secrets.” Daesung informed outraged by the secrecy.

“Just answer, are they going out?” Top asked as Bae sighed looking around to the confused faces of the girls before nodding.

“I knew it!” top shouted cheering that he had actually caught on to something before the others.

“But don’t say anything, Hoku-ah doesn’t want anyone to know yet.” Bae interjected as the guys stopped cheering and looked to him confused.

“Why not?” Seungri asked as Bae looked at them.

“Hoku-ah wants to make sure it’s alright with YG before she makes anything official. So it’s a secret for now.” Bae whispered as the guys all nodded.

“Can’t believe she finally said yes though.” Daesung mentioned flabbergasted as the others nodded in agreement.

“You think Hoku will be ok up there?” Eden asked over as Selena sighed annoyed before nodding.

“She’ll be fine.” Selena muttered before Eden hesitantly sat back in her seat.

“She has Jiyong after all.” Tyra teased as Steph laughed.

“Those two are so adorable together, don’t you think?” Steph asked as the girls nodded in agreement.

“They just need to get together and date already so I don’t have to see them drool over each other anymore.” Eden added gagging a bit before Selena scoffed.

“And you two call you her friends, lame.” Selena added before Eden and Tyra looked over confused.

“Excuse me?” Tyra asked outraged as Selena rolled her eyes at her lame attempt to scare her.

“If you guys were really her friends and paid attention to her more than just your addiction to the band in the car, you could see.” Selena spat in a monotone while the two girls looked at each other confused.

“They’re dating aren’t they?” Steph interjected as the girls looked over.

“Thank you, someone actually pays attention.” Selena announced sarcastically clapping her hands to the driver.

“What? Wait? Is she?” Eden asked over to Tyra still confused while she shrugged.

“I could tell something was off from the beach till the maze yesterday. They are different towards each other.” Steph explained while Selena nodded.

“So they are, but why wouldn’t she tell us?” Tyra asked slightly angry that her best friend decided to hide one of the biggest secrets ever.

“Um, have you guys not noticed that you two aren’t the best when it comes to keeping secrets?” Selena asked as the girls hung their head in acknowledgement.

“I’m sure she just doesn’t want word out yet.” Steph added while Selena nodded to her answer.

“So keep those lips shut, I’m sure she wouldn’t appreciate you blabbing about her private life.” Selena threatened while the two girls quickly nodded in understanding. Everyone was quickly catching onto something that was intended to be a secret..
