(So I'm back finally!!!  Sorry to keep you waiting lol, but my life has been on hyper drive and even now it's barely stopping to let me breath...

Well a recap of what has happened: Hayoung and Youngmin FINALLY realize that they loved each other and they decided to be together, but they soon come to realize that their decision will not only affect them, but also everyone around them!)

Kwangmin's point of view

It was silent as I sneaked a glance at Hayoung's hidden face, curious as to why she had such a tense expression. Her concerned eyebrows were slanted as her lips were turning pale from the pressure of her gritted teeth. 

"Did you sleep all right?" I asked, worried. She turned towards me, surprised. Slowly, her gaze softened as she smiled slightly.

 " Yes, and Kwangmin?" I shook my head honestly as I chuckled. " Barely... It's always hard for me to sleep in new environments, and it didn't help that Youngmin was sneaking around last night." 

My chuckle halted as her lips pressed into a thin line. " What's wrong?" I questioned. "What? Oh… uh, nothing... I'm just nervous for today's shoot." Her voice trembled. 

 I smiled in encouragement. 

" You'll be fine! Today's an easy day, no lines." She nodded in agreement as the doors suddenly opened to the busy lobby.

Hayoung's point of view

It didn't help that Youngmin was sneaking around last night...

Biting my lip, I felt the tension in my shoulders of Kwangmin's sudden remark. What would he think if he had known Youngmin's sudden disappearance was because he was in my room? What anybody else think? I shuddered at the controversy it would make. 

Youngmin and the country bumpkin unrequited love...

 I just could see Marie taunting by the second. 

The lobby was once again filled with people as we made our way to the cafeteria. My steps quickened unconsciously, wanting to escape the eyes of Kwangmin behind me.

"Calm down... calm down." I tried to reassure myself. Too focused on my own thoughts, I almost didn't see the golden sign on the large white doors. Banquet hall.

Entering the room slowly, my eyes widened at the vastness of the restaurant styled dining hall. There were rows and rows of food lined up similar to a buffet and fancy white tables with glass wine cups and golden plates. It all screamed luxury. Once again I couldn't help but feel myself out of place in such an environment, in such an unknown setting.

How could people digest anything in such a sophisticated and proper place? Suddenly, I began to miss the orphanage and their rickety chairs and chipped tables. As I continued to gaze around, admiring the large french inspired windows, Kwangmin pointed at the far right of the room, recognizing the rest of the members. 

Immediately, I felt my face flush as I recognized the back of Youngmin's blonde hair. The images of last night were returning to my mind in bright vibrant colors, reminding me of our kiss. Placing a finger to my lips, I could feel the rare feminine and girlish side taking over. Quickly, realizing the strangeness of my actions, I forced myself to snap out of it. 

" Common Hayoung! Don't embarrass yourself. Act normal!"

Finally when I have persuaded my red cheeks to return to their peachy color, I followed behind Kwangmin, trying to be unseen as long as possible. But of course, Joori being as keen as a hawk spotted me immediately as she called me over simultaneously. "Hayoung, over here!" She chirped. 

My foot jerked to a halt when Youngmin turned around, facing me. Oh no…

I felt my heart racing inside my chest, ready to burst and explode out of me. Oh how I wish I could read minds! Especially Youngmin's mind. 

Biting my lip, I felt the embarrassment rising. If I had known it would be this hard to face him, maybe I shouldn't have kissed him in the first place. I was ready to turn back and hide in a corner, when suddenly... he smiled. 

My panicking heart slowly came to a rhythmic beat as I stared at his twinkling eyes. " Good morning." His voice was the usual smooth and velvety sensation I remembered. Taking a breath in, I felt myself relax, realizing that I was overreacting like usual. " Good morning... Youngmin." The words couldn't feel more right. 

........................................................................................

Youngmin's point of view

All morning I had been wondering what I would say to her. Hello. Did you sleep well? How are you doing? 

I didn't know why, but I have never felt as nervous as I was now. I have never been the easily embarrassed type or shy brother, but for some reason whenever I think of Hayoung, I could feel my ears burning, and my face reddening. 

What was happening to me? Was this the magical powers of love I supposedly heard about? Making you inevitably sappy and conscious? 

Joori stopped in the middle of biting into her apple when she perked up, looking past me. Waving her hand, she smiled. " Hayoung, over here!" 

My hands froze on the plate, still holding the knife and fork against a slice of ham. "Hayoung?" I whispered quietly. Slowly turning around, I stared into her hazel eyes that were wide and curious. 

Without thinking, I felt my lips curve upwards, my nervousness disappearing as it was replaced with the feeling of eagerness. I wanted to see her again. 

.................................................................................

Hayoung's point of view

Sitting in the seat across from Youngmin besides Joori, I greeted the others happily. 

"Here." Joori handed me a plate of food filled with pancake, eggs, and bacon. Until I saw that plate of food and  smelled it's captivating scent, I didn't realize how hungry I was. Feeling my mouth salivate, I thanked her as I bit into the crunchy and salty bacon, absorbing the heavenly taste. 

...................................................

The rest of breakfast was exciting and relaxing as we stacked our empty plates high, except for the bickering of Jeongmin and Hyung Seong complaining about each other's bed habits. "Do you have to always sleep !?" Hyun Seong grunted in disgust. 

" Absolutely! It is perfectly normal to sleep ." Jeongmin defended. " Well could you at least use a blanket?!" Hyun Seong shot back. 

Youngmin elbowed Jeongmin, stopping him from continuing. " Leave your bedroom discussions in your hotel room please hyungs." I smiled at him softly, thanking him that he understood my discomfort of the inappropriate conversation.

" Oh sorry..." They both apologized. " You guys are out of contro-" Minwoo was interrupted by Mr. Yong and Yoon Jin who suddenly joined us at the table. " Seeing how everyone is so lively, I'm guessing everyone is having a good time?" Mr. Yong asked happily. "Yes, we are. Thank you for letting us stay in such a relaxing hotel Ms. Yoo Jin." Dong  Hyun complimented.

" I''m very happy that you are all having a good time, but also as director I must pause our vacation. It is time to start heading to the next shooting sight." 

………………………………………………………....

After everyone had finished their breakfast, we were sent back to our rooms where we must pack for an over night trip in the mountains. Joori excitedly opened the silver box that had her brand new leather boots she kept safe for this trip. " I can't wait till we are up the mountains unnie!" Joori exclaimed. " Aren't these hiking boots super cute?" She showed off her merchandise proudly, gleaming. 

" They're very nice but…" I stopped halfway, my voice drifting to a silence. " What is it?"  Joori sat on the floor, pulling on her boots. " Well, this mountain… exactly how high is it?" I couldn't help but show the concern in my voice as I remembered my injury. Even though my ankle was a lot better and it was no longer swollen, it still slightly hurt to stand on it. 

"We're going to a lodge house that isn't too far up, but it's a pretty difficult trail. I don't think there is even a path anymore." Gulping, I worried at the possibility of me slowing everyone down. "Uh.. I'll be right back."

I excused myself to the bathroom, quietly shutting the door behind me. Staring at my reflection, I sighed. " What am I going to do?" Sitting at the edge of the bathtub, I raised the black jeans to my knee, pulling down on my white socks. 

The bruising was still blueish but it was no longer the puff mass I couldn't recognize. Softly, I poked it, wincing slightly at the sensitive tissue. " Are you coming?" Joori's voice called outside the door. Pulling down my jeans again, I decided just it up. I came so far and I wasn't going to let a small injury get my way or anybody else's. " Yeah, I'm coming!"

Kwangmin's point of view

"Where's the green gloves I bought at H & M the other day?" I shouted from the walk-in closet. A muffled voice directed me to the last dresser to my left. Digging through the pair of socks and undershirts, I found the dark green gloves at the bottom of drawer. Stuffing it into my small duffel, I walked out of the closet, closing it. 

" Are you almost ready?" I asked Youngmin who seemed to be looking for something. " Have you seen the pain relieve spray I bought this morning? I can't find it." 

"It's in the bathroom drawer. Why do you need it?" I asked curiously, wondering when he started to carry a first aid kit with him. " Huh?… uh, just in case something happens." His respond was dull and mumbled. "Mhm….well hurry up. Dong Hyun just texted me. It's almost time to go." 

……………………………………………………………….....

Youngmin's point of view

Scanning the lobby, I placed my bag on the couch besides Kwangmin's as I looked for Hayoung. Quickly, I found her talking to one of the staff members about her wardrobe for today's shoot. 

Coming up towards them, the coordinator was advising what she should wear." I think we should go with this blue jacket, instead of the yellow one. It matches your shoes better." Hayoung nodded eagerly, unaware of my presence. " Oh! Youngmin!" The coordinator remarked. " Good morning, Coordinator Woo. Would it be alright if I borrow Hayoung for a few minutes?" 

………………………………………………………………….

Hayoung's point of view

My eyes widened as Youngmin sudden appeared before me. " Of course. We're done anyway. Hayoung, just make sure to wear the necklace along with the matching earrings we talked about." Coordinator Woo left us as I curiously stared at Youngmin. " What did you-" In a flash, Youngmin grabbed my hand, leading me away. " Follow me." 

Surprised, I slightly stumbled as I tried to keep up with his long legs, wondering where we were going. Once we were in the hallway, he took me into a small unfamiliar sitting room. Still holding my hand, he set a plastic bag on the closes table. 

Blushing, I remained silent at the touch of his warm fingers. " Sit here." Confused, I obediently listened as I  sat on the long red couch besides me. " What's wrong?" I asked, unable to understand what he doing. " Lift up your jeans." He pulled out a small red bottle, shaking it. " What is that?" My voice was tinted with curiosity. " Your bruise still hurts right?" He asked. " I bought some pain relieving spray in the morning. I think it'll help when we walk in the trails today. "  My eyes widened, surprised. " Pain relieving spray?" I couldn't believe it. He had already come into my room at the middle of night, concerned about my injury, and even now he was worried about me?" Blushing, I bit my lip. 

" I'm fine really… It doesn't hurt anymore." I promised. 

"I don't want to be anymore burdensome then I already have. "  Sighing, he pulled my jean cuff upwards exposing the still very blue bruise. Embarrassed, I clenched my fists. " You silly girl. You trying to be strong is burdensome to me." He gently poked at it making me wince immediately. " See?" He smiled, proving his point. I remained silent as he sprayed the cold liquid onto my leg. It rested on the skin until it disappeared, soaking itself dry.  Surprisingly, the throbbing pain was numbed and starting to be barely noticeable. 

" There… Does it feel better?" He asked. I nodded slowly, grateful. Looking up at me, his dark brown eyes were calm and tranquil. " Since you're too stubborn to listen to me about staying behind, at least use this to lessen the pain. You're going to have to reapply it every hour, so don't forge-" Bending down, I wrapped my arms him, his warm neck nestled against my face. 

" Thank you…" I whispered, too embarrassed to look at him.  No matter what, Youngmin has always managed to make me speechless. Always coming to my rescue, as cliche as it sounded, it was as if he was a knight that always came when I was distressed. My very own personal savior.
