Victoria woke up to find Nichkhun’s arms wrapped around her. Even in his sleep he still hold on to her tight. Victoria slowly turned around and began to carefully examine his face. She couldn’t believe that he was sleeping right next to her. She reached out and began to slowly and lightly traced his bushed eyebrows then down to his cute nose, Nichkhun suddenly began wiggling his nose unconsciously at her touch. Victoria let out a chuckled then proceeded to trace down to his perfect lips. She began tracing his thin upper lip and worked her way down to his lower lip. Her finger lingered on his lips just a second too long when Nichkhun suddenly said

 

“You want to kiss me again right?” said Nichkhun in a teasing tone with one eye opened and a big grin on his face

 

Victoria blushed at his words then turned her back to him. Nichkhun quickly engulfed her in his arms and leaned in and whispered in her ear

 

“I’m just kidding….Good morning honey” he said in a husky voice. Victoria could feel his breaths tickling her ear and his hand tracing the curve of her body causing her to slightly shiver under his touch

 

Nichkhun then proceeded to nibble on her ear then he trailed down and started gently kissing her neck then move down to her shoulder, while using his left hand that was placed on her flat tummy to gently pull her closer towards him. Victoria was losing it; she was trembling under his touch and his kiss. She had to muster up all her strengths to tell him to stop

 

“No Khun, you have to go back to your room before everyone wakes up” said Victoria in a shivering voice

 

“Just 5 more minutes honey….just 5 minutes” whispered Nichkhun while continue kissing her and bargaining for just a few more minutes with her

 

Five minutes tuned into fifteen and fifteen turned into an hour. By the time Nichkhun had finally left Victoria’s room it was almost 10 o’clock. Victoria quickly got into the shower and get dressed. It was 10:30 when Victoria and Nichkhun finally made their way downstairs. There friends were already at the dining table enjoying their brunch when Victoria and Nichkhun approached them.

 

“Good morning you two…..how was your sleep last night Khun? It must have been so uncomfortable there in your room for you to sleep somewhere else” asked Teacyeon with a big mischievous grin on his face

 

Everyone started giggling at Teacyeon’s remarks. Luna and Krystal had to turn their heads sideways because they couldn’t hold their laughter anymore while Wooyoung just looked at Nichkhun with a silly smile while wiggling his eyebrow at him. Victoria’s face turned bright red at everyone’s reactions and she just ran and hided behind Nichkhun’s back out of embarrassment. Nichkhun’s face turned completely red and began to stutter, but still extended his arms backwards as if to protect Victoria from the teasing words of his best friends

 

“H-h-hey hey hey!!!” said Nichkhun in an attempt to stop his friends from mocking them but it just added fuel to the fire. Seeing how flustered both Nichkhun and Victoria were everyone just started teasing them to no end.

 

“Omo look at these two….something’s definitely going on….fishy fishy” said Wooyoung teasingly and continued to wiggled his eyebrows. Krystal and Luna began to laugh uncontrollably at Wooyoung’s mocking expression

 

Nichkhun realized that he needed to do something and do it fast, otherwise they would taunt him all day long and he suddenly thought of the best way to shut them all up

 

“Ya! Stop teasing me and my girlfriend!!!” Nichkhun yelled at his friends

 

Suddenly everyone stopped and looked at both of them in disbelief

 

“Yes! Victoria is my girlfriend!” said Nichkhun while pulling Victoria into his arms

 

Everyone just roared into a frenzy of noise and clapping. Teacyeon and Wooyoung ran to Nichkhun and hugged him tight and offer their congratulations while Luna and Krystal came over to Victoria and started giggling at one another. Nichkhun looked at Victoria with a big grin on his face, but she playfully hit Nichkhun’s arm and whispered

 

“I told you to go back to your room before they wake up” whispered Victoria shyly

 

“I’m sorry honeeeyyyy” said Nichkhun smiling at Victoria

 

During brunch it was as if someone had cranked up the cheesiness volume to the max. Nichkhun was all over Victoria. It was as if he had superglued himself to her. He couldn’t keep his eyes or his hands off her. He would occasionally poked her cheek when she looked the other way or pinched her nose out of uncontainable love and affection. Or he would tapped her on her shoulder and when she turned to him he would go

 

“Ahhh” with his mouth wide open so she could feed him. Victoria couldn’t help but laughed at all his dorkyness

 

Everyone in the room was looking at the non-stop display of affections by these two and to be honest they were a little overwhelmed at their cheesiness, but seeing the happiness on their friends’ faces made it all worth enduring.

 

After brunch Krystal suggested that they take the yacht out for some island hoping and do some snorkeling. Everyone thought it was a great idea so they all headed back to their respective rooms to change.

 

The guys were already downstairs wearing their swim trunks while waiting for the girls to come down. When they came down Victoria was wearing a pale green beach short and a 1960’s vintage inspired black one piece halter swimsuit that hugs every curve on her body as if it was her own skin. Luna was wearing a pink one piece one shoulder swimsuit with a cut out at the waist on one side showing her smooth silky skin and a white beach shorts. Krystal on the other hand was wearing a white tunic over a white strapless twist bikini exposing her tone body

 

The guys were having a hard time breathing upon seeing the girls’ attire. Nichkhun immediately went up to Victoria with a wide smile and a looked of bewilderment and said

 

“You look absolutely gorgeous honey” said Nichkhun looking at her with nothing but love in his eyes and Victoria just lit up at his words

 

The gang proceeded down to the dock where a white 70 Ft double deck yacht was waiting for them. The captain took the yacht out to the snorkeling site off of Oedolgae Rock where he anchored the yacht. The sea was calm, the water was crystal clear it was as if they were in a swimming pool rather than an ocean.

 

Wooyoung was the first one to dive into the ocean. He jumped off the deck while shouting “Yahoooo!!!!” and did a summersault while at it. Teacyeon was next, he jumped off the deck, shouted “To infinity and beyond!!!” while holding his legs in his arms trying to cause as much splash as possible. Nichkhun on the other hand used the standard dive in looking like a professional swimmer. Once everyone was in sea the water fight began. It started off with Wooyoung splashed water at Luna then Krystal splashed water at Wooyoung trying to defend her best friend. Then Teacyeon attacked Krystal to give Wooyoung room to breathe, Victoria then came to aid her friend by started splashing water at Teacyeon with the help of her newly minted boyfriend. Seeing that his best friend had betrayed him Teacyoen yelled out

 

“Khun you’re a traitor!!”

 

Then Teacyoen and Wooyoung began to gang up on Nichkhun and Victoria, pretty soon Luna and Krystal joined in the fun as well. While being bombarded with sea water splashing all over them from left and right Nichkhun suddenly grabbed Victoria in his arms and turned his back on their friends to protect her from being splashed to death. Victoria was touched at his protectiveness and she suddenly reached for his face and brought it closer to hers and said

 

“Come here you” and gave him a kiss in front of all their friends without a care in the world

 

After the water fight they all gathered back on board the yacht to begin preparing to do some snorkeling. They began to put on snorkeling gear and fins. Krystal was having trouble with her mask when Teacyeon approached her to help. He crouched down to her eye level while helping her adjust her mask

 

“Here does this fit better?” said Teacyeon tenderly while looking into her eyes behind the mask. Krystal’s heart just skipped a beat at his tenderness and began nodding her head profusely out of embarrassment. Teacyeon giggled at the flustered Krystal and began to help her put on the fins. He knelt down at her feet to help her. When he was done he looked up at Krystal who was touched at his sweet gestures and muttered “Thank you very much Teac” said Krystal and blushed

 

When everyone had finished putting on their snorkeling gears the gang plunged into the sea and began exploring the natural wonders of Jeju Island. The wonderful coral reefs, the school of fish and amazing marine life, it was a sight to behold.

 

It was an amazing experience for all of them. When they had finished snorkeling they all lay floating in the water looking up at the sky lost in their own thoughts, lost in the moment. Out on the sea there was no famous actor who had to hide behind disguises when he goes out in public, there was only an ordinary man who fell in love with a kind kindergarten teacher, there was no daughter of a prestigious family, there was no restaurant owner and patrons to take care of, no deadline, no film to shoot, nothing. There were just a bunch of friends out on the sea enjoying the day and each other’s company.

 

It was 6:00 PM when they finally got back home. After they all had taken a shower and changed they re-group again at the table under the tree for tonight’s black pig BBQ dinner.

 

After dinner everyone was lounging around the table drinking wine when Nichkhun suddenly suggested that they play a game of truth or dare.

 

“Ok, I’ll go first ummm Teac truth or dare?” said Nichkhun

 

“Mmmm…..truth” answered Teacyeon

 

“Ok…ummm, if you could go out on a date with anyone in this room who would it be?” asked Nichkhun with a big grin on his face

 

Teachyeon glanced at Krystal who was sitting next to him and began to mumbled under his breath

 

“What did you say?? I can’t hear you…..speak up pleaseeee” said Nichkhun teasingly at the red face Teacyeon

 

“The answer is….Krystal….if I could go out with anyone in this room, I would like to go out with Krystal ok!!” said Teacyeon while taking a quick glanced at the blushed Krystal who was busy picking the thread of the cushion that she was sitting on

 

Everyone began to tease Krystal and Teacyeon upon hearing his answer

 

“Oooh Teac likes Krystal~~ Teac wanna date Krystal~~Teac thinks Krystal is yyy ~ ~” teased Wooyoung while doing a little dance in his seat

 

“Aisshh….shut your mouth already!” said Teacyeon while trying to cover Wooyoung’s mouth to prevent him from talking……ever again

 

Wooyoung pretended to be suffocating at the hand of Teacyeon causing everyone to roar in laughter. When Teacyeon finally released his hand

 

“Ok now it’s my turn!” said Teacyeon then turned to Wooyoung with a deadly grin on his face

 

“Truth or dare?” asked Teacyeon

 

“Dare” said Wooyoung and wiggled his eyebrows at him

 

“I dare you to let the girls put on a makeup for you and you can’t wash it off until the night is over!! Ha!!...How’s that my friend!!” said Teacyeon all excited and doing fist pump while all the girls shouted in excitement and started clapping then they all ran back into the house to grab their makeup kit.

 

“Man!! What kind of a dare is this??” said Wooyoung a little frustrated at how the situation had turned into

 

When the girls came back they were all giggling and laughing at the thought of painting Wooyoung’s face. Krystal began with applying blue eye shadow covering all the way up to his eyebrow on one of his eyelid, then Luna applied a green eye shadow on his other eyelid in the same style as Krystal. Victoria on the other hand was busy applying a pink blush on his cheeks in a circular motion, however Victoria had applied quite an excessive amount of blush that now Wooyoung’s cheeks had turned completely shocking pink. Next Victoria and Krystal began coloring his eyebrows using a black brow pencil while Luna applied a deep purple lipstick on his lips, but extended the lipstick beyond his actual lips and managed to give Wooyoung a weird looking mustache too. When the girls had finally finished their work of art, Wooyoung’s face was consist of 5 different bright colors on it. Wooyoung now had a bright blue eye shadow on one eye and a green eye shadow on the other. Brightly pink cheeks, deep purple lips, a really really black eyebrows and a black mustache that curled up at the end. Needless to say that Wooyoung looked completely and utterly ridiculous.

 

“HAHAHAAA It’s Salvador Wooyoungie hahahaaa” Nichkhun pointed at Wooyoung’s face and laughed hysterically while stomping his feet at his own Salvador Dali reference joke

 

“Salvador Wooyoungie….hahaha good one Khun…hahaha” said Teacyeon while laughing, rolling on the floor and banging his fist at the ground

 

Nichkhun was laughing so hard he almost choked himself to death. Teacyeon on the other hand was rolling on the grass laughing his brain out while holding on to his tummy and wiping tears away from his face. Victoria and the girls were laughing so hard tears were streaming down their faces and their tummy ache. Wooyoung was not pleased, he knew that it would be bad, but he didn’t dare take a look at his face now since he couldn’t wash it off until the game is over.

 

“I’m glad you guys are enjoying this” said Wooyoung sarcastically

 

“Hahaha….oh you look…..hahahahaaaa” said Luna trying to console him, but couldn’t

 

“Aisshh can we please get on with the game?? said Wooyoung looking a little frustrated

 

“Ok, ok, ok we’ll stop laughing now” said Luna smiling brightly trying to console him

 

“Ok now it’s my turn. Let’s see…….Krystal truth or dare?” asked Wooyoung

 

“Ummm I’ll go with…….dare!” said Krystal still wiping tears from her face

 

“I dare you to run around the lawn 5 times while giving Luna a piggyback ride!!” said Wooyoung

 

“Hahaha Yes! I’d like that!” said Luna excitedly

 

“How hard could it be” scoffed Krystal while getting up to get ready to do the dare

 

Luna hopped on Krystal’s back with a wide grin on her face and said

 

“Go! Horsey!!.…run Krystal run” said Luna mimicking the famous quote in Forest Gump the movie

 

Krystal started running around the lawn while Luna continuously shout for her to go faster and faster. By the time Krystal had finished running 5 laps around the lawn she slumped down on the floor and said

 

“I’m….go..ing….to……ki..ll….you…..Woo……young” said Krystal panting and out of breath

 

All the guys were laughing so hard at the pale-face-out-of-breath Krystal while Luna poured Krystal a glass of water and handed it to her

After downing the water in one go Krystal slammed the glass down on the table and exclaimed

 

“Now it’s my turn!! Luna truth or dare?” 

 

“I’ll go with……ummmm………” Luna thinking hard

 

“Just pick one already!!!” Snapped Krystal

 

“Hahaha ok ok ok I’ll go with dare then hehehe” said Luna smiling bubbly at her friend

 

“I dare you to drink the most delicious cocktail ever invented on the face of the earth…..Krystalicious!!” said Krystal while smiling sweetly at her best friend

 

“Huh?? What’s a Krystalicious??” asked the confused Nichkhun

 

“Oh don’t worry you’ll see….I’ll be right back with your drink Luna” said Krystal while pinching Luna’s cheek

 

Krystal went back inside the house and emerged 5 minutes later with a glass full of black liquid inside. She handed the glass to Luna and said

 

“Here you go dear…enjoy your drink” said Krystal while giving and evil laugh

 

Luna took the glass and smelled it and immediately turned her head away in disgust

 

“Ewwww are you seriously going to make me drink this??” asked Luna in disbelief

 

“Of course dear” said Krystal looking at Luna with a wide eye and a pretended innocent smile

 

The drink was a mixture of ketchup, Tabasco sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground pepper and coke

 

Luna closed her eyes and pinched her own nose to drown out the smell of the drink then proceeded to slowly drink “Krystalicious” while everyone chanted

 

“Lu-na, Lu-na, Lu-na, Lu-na, Lu-na, Lu-na, Lu-na” until she finished the drink. After she finished it she turned to the now crying-from-laughing-so-much-Krystal and said

 

“Ank ku o mut kittal it wat gate (thank you so much Krystal it was great) said Luna while trying not to gag

 

Krystal just laughed uncontrollably at getting her revenge and said “You’re welcome! Hahaha”

 

“Ok now my turn…Vic truth or dare?” asked Luna

 

“I think I’ll go with truth. Don’t even want to think what you guys will make me do if I choose dare” said Victoria

 

“What was the most embarrassing thing you’ve done in front of someone you like?” asked Luna

 

“Oh my god……I’ve never told anyone this before…ok you guys remember Chansung right?” asked Victoria

 

“Oh yeah I remember him…I remember you had such a crush on him in college! You were all like Oh he’s great isn’t he~~? Or like he had such a good body or he’s so cute~~ Hahaha” said Krystal with pretended dreamy eyes mimicking Victoria

 

“Yeah you talked about him non-stop! He was really looking though. I mean the guy had it all, that face, that body and he sure could dance too!” said Luna excitedly while reminiscing of Chansung

 

“What?...Who is he?.....What so great about him?......How handsome can he be??” scoffed Nichkhun

 

“Yeah right and I bet his body wasn’t that great either” scoffed Teacyeon in agreement with Nichkhun’s statement

 

“Yeah and I’m sure I’m better at dancing than he was” scoffed Wooyoung agreeing to his friends’ remarks about Chansung

 

The girls just completely ignored their jealous comments and focused on Victoria telling her story

 

“Yeah well one day I found him sitting at the school cafeteria all by himself and I really really really wanted to go up to him and said hi…..I was alone at the time, you guys were busying with something. So I was sitting there mustering up all the courage, then I finally walked up to him and said “Hi” but before I could say his name……..I burped!!....Because I just had a soda and it just came out!!...He looked at me with this ewww face. I was so embarrassed that I just turned around to leave, but then I must have been too hurried because I slipped and my pants split open right in front of him!!!...He never looked at me again after that” said Victoria shyly

 

“Hahaha no wonder why you never mentioned his name again!! I’ve always wondered about it and now I know! Hahaha oh poor Vic” said Krystal laughing at Victoria

 

Everyone including Victoria began laughing at her story of making a complete fool of herself in front of Chansung.

 

“Ok now it’s your turn Khun…truth or dare?” asked Victoria with her big eye at him

 

“I’ll go with truth honey” said Nichkhun and reached out and pinched her nose lovingly

 

“What was the most painful break up you ever had?” asked Victoria

 

Nichkhun’s expression suddenly changed and he dropped his smiled, Victoria noticed that too, she could still see pain in his eyes and began to regret that she chose such question. Teacyeon and Wooyoung’s expression and demeanors also change abruptly as well, they both turned at looked at Nichkhun to gauge his emotion. Nichkhun quickly adjusted his expression and began to tell the story as if the question didn’t bother him at all

 

“Well….it was 2 years ago….November 15^th to be exact. We’ve been together for 3 years. I didn’t have any clues that she wanted to break up with me….she called me that night after we went out to dinner with these two here and told me that she couldn’t be with me anymore….and that she didn’t love me anymore….and that was it.

 

The atmosphere became quite. Everyone could sense that he didn’t really want to talk about it. That it was still painful for him to visit his past. It was beginning to feel a little awkward and then suddenly Luna said

 

“You said that it was November 15^th 2 years ago right? That’s the same day that Vic lost her parents” said Luna

 

“Really? I didn’t know that” said Nichkhun looking at Victoria

 

“Yes my parents got into a car accident that they, November 15^th” said Victoria looking sad at the thought of her deceased parent

 

Nichkhun reached out and hold her hand in his to comfort her. It was a shocked for him to know that they both had lost someone they love on the same day. He couldn’t help but thought that It was their faith to experience something so painful on the exact date.

 

Wooyoung was the first to break the awkward atmosphere by suddenly exclaimed

 

“Hey It’s all in the past now…..the most important thing right now is that you have each other…no need to look back….just look at the bright future ahead of you….isn’t that right guys?” said Wooyoung while turned to everyone to solicit an agreement from the others

 

“Yeah…yeah…yeah you’re absolutely right! The past is the past, there’s nothing we can do about it now” said Teacyeon

 

“Yes I couldn’t agree more Wooyoung” said Luna while giving Wooyoung a lovely smile

 

“Yes let’s forget about the gloomy past huh? We’re here to have fun! Come on let’s drink up people! Cheers!!” said Krystal while raising her glass in the air

 

“Cheers!!” everyone shouted as they raised their glasses

 

The party continued on until the wee hours of the night when they finally decided to head back to their rooms. Upon entering the house Wooyoung turned to look at himself in the mirror and immediately began shouting at the top of his lungs

 

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU TEAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  shouted Wooyoung while began chasing down Teacyeon who was already up the stairs headed towards his room. Teacyeon entered his room and locked the door behind while Wooyoung started banging on it with intensity

 

“Ya!!! Open up!! Because of you I look like a BOZO HIGH ON ACID!!!!!!! Ya!!!” shouted Wooyoung

 

Everyone burst out laughing at the furious Wooyoung whose face really did resembled a bozo painting his own face while high on acid. Upon seeing how upset Wooyoung was Luna walked over and took his hand and said

 

“Come on I’ll help you take those off” said Luna smiled her tender smile at him

 

Wooyoung immediately stopped shouting and just nodded at Luna to indicate that he would love for her to help him and allowed Luna to lead him to her room.

 

Victoria had just finished taking a shower when she suddenly heard a knock on her door, when she opened the door she found Nichkhun standing there holding his pillow in his arms looking at her with his puppy eyes and said

 

“Honeeeyyy can I sleep in your room tonight?? It’s lonely there in my room” said Nichkhun with his lips slightly pouting and blinking his puppy eyes at her

 

Victoria let out a chuckled at his obvious attempt to spend the night with her. She decided to make him suffer a little bit

 

“No Khun you can’t…I don’t want to be teased to death again tomorrow…it’s better if we sleep in our own room” said Victoria looking all serious at him

 

“But honeeeyyy, I can’t sleeeeeppppp there….I need yooouuuu” whined Nichkhun and pouting like a little boy not getting the toy that he wanted

 

Suddenly Victoria heard Luna’s voice spoke up loudly

 

“Just let him in already! So he would stop whining Vic…hahaha”

 

“Hahaha good one Luna!!” yelled out Krystal

 

Victoria turned bright red at the thought that her friend had heard all their lovely dooly exchange. Nichkhun on the other hand couldn’t hide the happiness on his face to hear that Luna had encourage Victoria to let him in

 

“Fine, I’m only letting you in to stop you from bothering my friends though” said Victoria then proceeded to step aside to let him in

 

Nichkhun quickly went into the room then threw his pillow in the air while yelled out

“Yes!” and quickly scooped Victoria up in his arms and kicked the door shut
