"We all deserve a round of applause" Siwon announced then everybody started clapping and cheering for their successful month-long show. As promised, they had a meeting regarding their beach outing. 

"So now we can start planning, when do you want the outing to be?" he asked the group. 

"How bout next weekend after the exams? it could serve as a breather to our student artists too" Eunhyuk suggested. Since their group was composed of students and young professionals, each one had to adjust to the schedule of the others.

"That would be great! at least we could prepare the list of food and games for that day" Luna agreed

"Anyone who would oppose to the date?" no one answered

"So it's set, this coming Saturday to Sunday"

Come Saturday late afternoon after the exams of the student artists, they all met at the CCA bldg so they could all go together to the resort. Most of them were already carrying their travel bags going to school so they would directly leave as soon as their class ends. Those who have work took the whole day leave so they could do their groceries for the things they need before they leave that afternoon.

Sulli was checking on the food they bought if they might have missed anything. Then her phone rang.

"Hello?" 

"Hello, is this Ms. Sulli?" a male voice answered

"Yes, speaking. May I know who's on the line?" Sulli's brows furrowed

"This is Park Chanyeol, the manager of the resort you booked online."

"Oh, yes, hello Sir. Is there anything wrong with our reservation?"

"None at all Ms. Sulli, I just called to confirm your time of arrival here so we could wait for you" Sulli checked her watch, it says 4:15

"We might be there around 7PM, hopefully we don't meet any untoward incident along the way"

"Fine Ms. Sulli. See you then" then Sulli hang up.

They reached the resort 20 mins before 7 and luckillly still had a good view of the sunset. Sulli asked for the manager she spoke to on the phone at the reception.

"Hello. I'm Chanyeol, you must be Ms. Sulli" the young manager brought up his hand for a shake which Sulli gladly shook.

"Yes, pls just call me Sulli. We came a little early" she informed

"yes, at least your group got the chance to see the sunset" he warmly smiled "by the way, since we have a lot of reservations this month, i was informed that your rooms were given to the other guests, and i sincerely apologize for not informing you. However, we moved you to our private cottage near the beach to make up for the shuffling. I hope that we would be ok with you and your group" Chanyeol said with full apologies

"That's great! I mean at least our group wouldn't have to be separated. but wouldn't that require any additional charges since it's a private cottage?"

"Oh no Ms. Sulli. the additional charges are already taken care of" Chanyeol smiled

"Taken care of? by who? we didn't even settle the bill yet" Sulli asked confused

"By the owner of the cottage. Whom I think is one of your avid fans" he said, not wanting to give any more hints

"Oh... please tell the owner 'Thanks' and if we could probably meet .. him?her? after this" Sulli said

"I'll let him know. You're welcome. I'll call the helpers to guide you to the cottage" Chanyeol bowed and left them to the care of the helpers.

The group got confused to why they were led away from the standard cottages and towards the beach.

"I think I heard the cute manager talking to Sulli that our original reservations were give to other guests" Henry  told Jiwon and Jjong

"Ugh! Do you suppose they'll let us camp out in the beach instead?" Sunny spoke who heard them from the back.

"Probably not, I mean... you know Ssul.. she won't let her plans be strayed just like that." Jiwon answered

Up ahead, they can see the beach coming into view with the sunset and a row of what seems to be private cottages.

"Oh I wish we'll be staying on one of those cottages instead" Jiwon remarked

"Well princess, looks like your wish is being granted, the helpers are bringing our bags in one of the cottages" Jjong pointed to one of the helpers.

"Ssul, what happened? did you book us here? do you own the cottage?" Taemin run upfront to ask

"Psh, of course I don't own the cottage, or else I could've just suggested it right away. but there was a slight change earlier so we were moved to one of these private cottages" Sulli explained

"Really? but who owns this?" Taemin still can't believe, as they entered the cottage.

"The manager didn't say, but maybe we'll get to meet the owner later, he mentioned that he's a fan of our group" she continued to explain while placing the groceries in the kitchen counter. Taemin and Krystal helped her bring out the groceries and prepare the meat for barbeque. The others were preparing the things for the games and the younger newbies are enjoying the beach.

"How are you and Minho?" Onew asked, both Sulli and him were on the grill.

"We're doing fine. I still can't believe that I have him as a boyfriend, and now as a fiance, and soon to be husband.... I couldn't ask for any other man" Sulli smiled also imagining him

"I'm glad you found each other" Onew smiled back

"Any progress on the courtship?" Sulli asked. Onew looked up and smiled

"Hmm... there's something behind that smile" Sul
