Bold & Italicised in Korean

Hoku’s POV…

I spent the day with Jiyong, breakfast next to the pool in the morning, some shopping in the hotels designer shops before we just lazed around the hotel. I soon found out why I was needed so desperately at tonight’s dinner, with it being the guys wish from winning yesterday at the maze. I know the girls all found out being out with the guys when they came running in the door as if they were being chased. I shot off the couch and watched them confused as they ran down the hallway to their separate rooms with a ton of bags.

“Um, is there a fire somewhere?” I asked to the men following slowly behind them.

“We told them about dinner.” Taeyang pointed out as I nodded in understanding.

“Did you ask Steph like I asked?” I asked over to Top who nodded with a smirk while Daesung’s eyes shot open.

“Wait? You invited her?” Daesung asked over as I nodded.

“You need to stop drooling over that girl, like now.” I informed walking up the two steps into the entryway where they were all standing.

“So when are we leaving?” I asked over to Jiyong who was still sitting on the recliner. He looked up from his magazine then to his watch.

“I made reservations at 7pm.” He informed as I smiled and nodded, walking down the hallway to my room to get ready for the night.

Jiyong’s POV…

“So hyung..” Seungri started once Hoku was gone before I looked up slowly from the fashion magazine I was reading.

“What?” I asked confused as the guys all quickly took a seat on the couch across from me.

“Why didn’t you tell us you were dating Hoku-ah?” Daesung whined outraged as my eyes shot open and over to Bae.

“You told them?” I asked through my teeth as he quickly shook his head.

“They suspected something.” He explained causing me to groan before I massaged my head.

“Ok, fine, but whatever you do don’t say anything to anyone. I’m in deep enough water as is.” I pointed out standing and stretching before walking away.

Author’s POV…

“Deep enough water?” Top asked over confused to Bae who just sighed and nodded.

“He called her father to ask for permission to date her.” Bae whispered as their eyes shot open.

“And what?” Daesung asked eager to know the answer.

“Did he say no?” Seungri gasped putting a hand over his mouth.

“No, worse.” Bae whispered as they looked at each other confused.

“How can that be any worse?” Top asked confused as Bae stood up from the coffee table to walk away.

“Her father wants to meet with him. Her father and eldest brother will be in Japan when we’re there.” Bae explained as their eyes shot open.

“Oh my god, that sent a shiver up my spine.” Seungri whined holding himself.

“It’s not even about me, and I’m nervous.” Daesung whispered.

Hoku’s POV…

I took a quick shower, putting my wine red hair into curlers before I began applying a bit of makeup. The usual light eyeliner, BB cream, some basic eye shadow, followed by my favorite lip gloss, everything was perfect. Once I was done, I began searching through my suitcase full of outfits.

“What the hell am I supposed to wear?” I whined sitting in only a towel on the ground in front of my bag. I know I’ve been sitting there for a while until my phone began to vibrate on the ground next to me. I sighed looking over through my curlers to see it was Steph calling. I smiled inwardly before reaching over and answering it.

“Hey Steph.” I answered smiling.

“Oh hey.” She answered as I sat there confused.

“Um, is there something wrong?” I asked as I heard her sigh.

“Um, I need to ask you something, sort of personal.” She mentioned as I crossed my legs getting comfortable.

“Oh yah, go ahead. I’m listening.” I mentioned interested.

“I need some advice on something.” She added causing me to smirk.

“This wouldn’t have anything to do with Daesung Oppa would it?” I asked teasingly before the line caught quiet.

“It does, doesn’t it?” I asked taking in the silence.

“It does.” She answered in a whisper causing me to smile.

“Well what’s up? Did something happen?” I asked as she sighed again.

“I like him, alright, like a lot, and it’s driving me insane.” She whined causing me to smile and quietly cheer off line.

“It’s alright, I totally understand.” I reassured before she sighed even louder.

“What am I going to do?” She whined in a begging matter before I stood off the ground.

“I can help with that if that’s what you’re asking.” I offered.

“How?” she asked interested as I took a seat on the edge of the bed.

“By giving you some really good advice.” I whispered smiling.

“From the month I’ve spent with the guys I would have to say Daesung oppa is the sweetest, most genuine person I have ever met. And I’m not just saying that.” I explained smiling.

“I’ve noticed he doesn’t take interest in a lot of things except his music easily, but when it comes to you, I’ve notice he’s been attracted to you.” I teased knowing that she was indeed blushing on the line.

“So what do I do?” She whispered as I sighed looking up to the ceiling.

“Take charge, don’t wait for him to ask because I can say you’ll be waiting a while for that to happen.” I added laughing a bit.

“Sit down, talk with him. I’m not saying you guys have to get together immediately, but maybe get to know him a bit more.” I explained before she sighed for the thousandths time.

“I guess you’re right.” She mumbled before I looked to the clock to see that it was already 6:45.

“Well I need to finish getting dressed, so we’ll meet you in the lobby restaurant at 7 right?” I asked standing off the bed and back over towards my bags.

“I’ll be there. And Hoku.” She said as I looked up in interest.

“Huh?” I answered.

“Thanks for the advice.” She thanked as I smiled.

“That’s what friends are for, right?” I teased. Finally we hung up and I was back to finding something to wear. Not really having a choice with the time slowly closing in, I shut my eyes and randomly grabbed into my bag before pulling out the dress in my hands. Surprisingly it was a cashmere, long sleeve grey dress that reached to my mid-thigh. I sighed shrugging uncaring before I slipped into it. The dress had a v-neck collar, as I adjusted to make sure it wasn’t showing anything that didn’t need to be shown. When I was sure this was the dress I was going to wear, I found a pair of black pump heels and slipped them on. Lastly, I pulled out the curlers in my hair, pinning of few strands in various places before finishing.

“Finally.” I sighed looking at myself in the mirror, smoothing out the ruffles a bit before someone knocked.

“Yah!” I called out not moving from the mirror before the door opened behind me and a face peeked in.

“Wow.” Eden said surprised as she saw me. I just smiled and turned to her also giving her my own ‘wow’ on her outfit.

“Seems like we’re all going all out tonight.” Tyra said walking in with a smoking outfit also.

“Girls!” A voice whispered down the hall as I sighed.

“Do I look ok?” I asked holding my arms out as the girls snorted.

“When don’t you look amazing?” Selena spat back causing me to laugh.

“Well then, let’s go get our guys tonight, shall we?” I said adding a dramatic twist before Selena rolled her eyes.

“I’m going to eat.” She insisted before I stopped in front of her.

“You need to stop lying, I ain’t buying it so go and get Seungri, he likes you, so be nice.” I threatened pointing a finger at her while she sighed. This was going to be one interesting night.
