   "Hey, Josh." Hansol's voice cut through the silence that developed in the bus. The older boy looked over, his eyebrows raised to show alertness although his eyes showed the developing drowsiness. "Do you think about how you're going to do after you graduate?" He asked. The elder smiled and shook his head. "I'll do just fine so I try not to think about it too much." He leaned his head against the glass as his eyelids began to gradually feel heavier and heavier. "Do you know what you'll be doing." Hansol persisted. This time Jisoo's eyes shot open. "Die..." He whispered but then smiled and laughed a bit. Hansol felt himself melt when the boy's laughter swept through his ear like the finest silk.  "I'll be doing music. Either making it, or just being a part of it. Even if it ends up as a hobby and I'm working some dingy little deskjob instead, I'll be glad I'm making music." The elder's face was beaming by simply thinking of making music. 

Hansol couldn't help but grin at that. He couldn't help but grin at the face of someone happily telling him their dream. He loved to see the beautiful glint of motivation and determination that would glow in their eyes as they spoke of their hopes and dreams. Jisoo had a smile on his face as well but for a different reason. "Hansol, why are you smiling like that?" He said softly to not wake the other sleeping beagles. "It's just..." Hansol's grin turns into a shy smile. "Yeah, why are you smiling?" Seungkwan whispered behind them in a heavily accented voice. Both boys jumped forward. "Ah you scared me!" They whisper-yelled. A few of the other beagles stirred a bit but still continued on their slumber. "Nothing, I'm going to sleep." Hansol responded quickly. The elder boy and Jeju's boy exchanged a glance. "Goodnight, sleep well." Jisoo chuckled a bit. Hansol felt himself melt away to sleep as the lovely peal of laughter repeated itself in his ears.

The bus arrived at it's secret field trip location. The first ones off the bus were a bunch of other students who were yelling in excitement as they got off. The others slowly poured out of the vehicle with confusion and excitement written all over their posture and expressions. Hansol's face lit up. "I think this is the aquarium me and my family used to go to!" He grinned at the memories the place held. Subtly, he pushed aside the entire gang of beagles and extra beagles aside, apologizing and swooping his head to show his apologies. Jisoo trailed right behind him, which lead to everyone else creeping behind as well. However, 11 boys following a duo wouldn't go unnoticed. "Hey." Cha Hakyeon, the one who worked at the convenient cafe store, signaled for their attention. "I just noticed something funny." 

The tan man had a beautiful smile etched into his face. "You're divided into three units basically. The rappers," He pointed at Wonwoo, Mingyu, Seungcheol, and Hansol. "The vocalists," This time his finger moves to Jihoon, Seokmin, Seungkwan, Jisoo, and Jeonghan. "And the dancers, or performers." He ruffles Soonyoung's hair, who was becoming more widely known as Hoshi around the school, and nods to everyone's favourite Chinese Duo, Junhui and Minghao, and the littlest giant Chan. Murmurs of agreement rose among the ones who heard. "They could be a group called 3 or something." Namjoon said. "3.. hmm why not... wow.... This is gonna be hard name.." Seokjin responds then his eyes run through the group of boys. 

"Um, excuse me." A kind faced young lady said in a polite tone to get their attention. "Feel free to explore our wonderful sea land on land!" She stopped to think about whether the sentence she said made sense or not. They all did, some murmuring the sentence back to themselves, others looking quizzically at each other. "I'm sorry." She giggled and bowed a bit. Hansol smiled at her adorableness which lead to a jealous glare from Jisoo for a second. However, he quickly shook it off, and was able to smile at her adorableness as well. "We'll enjoy this wonderful sea land on land!" Jackson, another foreign student who was studying abroad,  spoke up. Everyone else echoed him then began cheering, making their way to the front to grab a map. 

Jisoo and Hansol grabbed a map, then hurriedly made their way to a mostly untouched corner. They opened the map, taking each side of the map in one of their hands. Carefully, they looked over the cute illustrations made to indicate which area belonged to the given name. "These are really cute," Jisoo smiled warmly. "The drawings. They make me wish I could draw." Lightly, he ran his finger over the paper. Hansol nodded. "Same here. Mingyu can draw really well, I think." 

Jisoo narrowed his eyes into a confused eye smile at the unsure statement the youth had made. "You think?" A small peal of laughter came from him. Hansol smiled. "I dont stalk him so I wouldn't know for sure." Jisoo looked back down at the map then pointed at a part with a darker shading of blue and a few fishes drawn. "These are fishes from deeper waters! So the room is kinda dark, lets go there." He neatly folded up the map and tapped it into his shirt pocket.

He paused for a second, his face going into confusion as he looked around. "The exhibit to the deep water fishes is this way." The girl who greeted them at first pointed to a small, black painted corridor. "Ah, thank you!" Jisoo said in his smooth voice. Hansol thanked her as well, trailing close behind the American boy. "So why this exhibit first? I'd imagine that you'd want things to go in a more... orderly? way." Hansol asked as he glanced at the black painted walls. Soon enough it was illuminated by a deeper blue colour and fish swam by. The younger boy stopped what he was saying, completely forgetting what he was saying in fact. "This is... This is beautiful." He said quietly, feeling that if he spoke any louder the fish would be frightened. They strolled through, peering at the fish in wonder then at each other. 

Several minutes passed and Jisoo stopped walking in front of a coral reef. "I want to sing." He said suddenly. "Earlier, you asked about my future. I want to sing but... I'm not quite sure I'll make it." A weak smile on his face. Hansol had a concentrated expression as he listened carefully. "Why don't you think you'll make it?" He asked. "There are so many better people who know how to sing better than me. Who have stronger voices." His voice wavered ever so slightly, and a sad gleam was in his eyes. Hansol blinked a few times, his heart sinking with worry. He reached out to intertwine his hand with that of the elders. "Don't worry." He walked ahead, the boy catching up beside him in a bit. They reached the end of the deeper ocean exhibit. "Those fishes werent that deep." Jisoo suddenly said. "Well they arent from waters that deep." 

Hansol looked over, a bit of wonder on his face as he thought about it. "Well, of course they arent. Were you expecting fish that glow in the dark or something?" He chuckled a bit. Jisoo smiled back. "Honestly, I kind of was." Hansol grinned as he lightly pushed the boy. "Next exhibit.... Hm.. Whichever one we walk into." Jisoo swiveled his head around to see if there are signs hung up. He stares at each sign for a bit. "Jisoo, do you need help reading the signs?" Hansol offered as he saw the male struggling a bit. "No, I got it." He began following the arrow to a certain area. 

The younger male decided to just blindly the elder, hoping they dont get lost since the older male had a tendency to sometimes get a bit confused while reading hangul if he tried reading it too quickly. Although, Hansol thought to himself, his hangul reading skills have improved. The male found himself smiling a bit in proudness and fondness as he pondered over the improvement. After a few minutes of accidentally spacing out, he found himself with a stuffed dolphin in his hand. "I had extra money, so here you go." Jisoo said, cheeks hinting at how flustered he must feel. Hansol couldnt even ask the cashier who was watching in secret for a refund because of the face the elder was pulling. Instead, he simply hugged it closer his chest. "Thank you, hyung." He smiled wide, leaning forward to kiss Jisoo on the cheek but moved the stuffed dolphin between them. 

A mischievous spark glowed in his eyes as he left the small gift shop. They explored more of the aquarium, this time walking in complete silence, holding each others hands. Their beagle friends would pass by a couple times, most of them not even trying to tease them simply because of how at peace they looked. Jihoon suddenly appeared beside taller boys. "Buses are here. We have five minutes left." Is all he said, then casually walked away. The boys nodded slowly, seeming completely out of it. In a flash they both widened their eyes. "Five minutes left?!" They exclaimed, moving their heads this way and that to know their bearings. Really,
both of them had no clue which way to go. 

Quickly they agreed that checking the map in Jisoo's pocket would take too much time. Blindly choosing a corridor was deemed the best option. In no time, they found the way out to the lobby they were in hours before. They said their farewells to the girl who helped them find the "deep sea" fishes. With only about a minute to spare, both boys hastily climbed onto the bus where their friends were. Two seats were saved from them in the middle of the bus which brought a smile to their face. After roll call to make sure no one got lost getting back to the bus, everyone was very relaxed. So relaxed in fact that a few were nodding off. 

Jisoo leaned his head against the window. "Hansol?" He said softly. The younger boy raised his eyebrows to signal he was listening. "Honestly, I dont have much clue what I'll be doing in the future. If my dreams will come true or not, but thats really up to me. Something I do have a slight clue about though," The american boy lifted his head from the window to glance around the sleepy bus. "I think we'll all be together. Thats a dream I know will come true." His perfect crescent twinkled with certainty. Hansol sank back in his seat comfortable, preparing himself for a nap. "I feel that way too, hyung. I'm glad you do too. I hope we're all together for a long time too." He peered up at the elder boy who nodded. "Something tells me we will." 

On a another part of the bus, Seungcheol was mumbling as he began nodding off as well. "Seventeen." He murmured to Jeonghan who was sitting beside him. The long haired boy was puzzled. "Namjoon said we could be a like a group all together.. Let's call ourselves Seventeen." Jeonghan beamed at the name. Jihoon peeked over from behind the seats. "Wooww, that's a really good name actually." He commentated. Both of the seated boys jumped at the sudden voice behind them. "Lets discuss all together later though." The dark haired boy yawned.

 "Sleep time now."
