“Jihyun.” A deep voice called to me and I shifted slightly. “Come on babe, wake up.” I groaned and flipped completely over. The sound stopped and I smiled in triumph in my mind. A pair of lips suddenly pressed gently against mine. I moaned lightly, still half-asleep, and relaxed again. He parted his lips and ran his tongue against my lip teasingly, requesting more. I lazily parted my lips and as his tongue brushed against mine, my eyes shot up open and I pulled away too quickly, sliding off the bed by complete accident. I winced and rubbed my back as I sat up and glared at the male on my spot “Good morning.” Kris chirped happily as he got up from the edge of my bed with a small smirk. “You probably need to hurry up and get ready; we’re leaving in an hour.” I groaned at him and crawled back up on my bed, covering my face with a pillow as I threw an incoherent slew of curses at him. “Don’t be like that, Cactus. You need to get up.” I heard his voice travel closer, but I tried to ignore him. His hand rested on my abdomen and I blushed beneath the pillow, though curious as to what he was going to do. “If you don’t, I’ll have to do something creative to wake you up.” He brushed his fingers down my skin and I threw the pillow from my face to his and threw his hand off of me before pushing him off the bed.

                “I’m awake. There’s no need for that. If you want to touch something, touch yourself. Go. Shoo.” I pushed his back and he started laughing at my flustered and rushed outburst.

                “Touch myself? What, you don’t want to help?” He teasingly shot at me and grew bright red and pushed him with my foot. “Good to know you’re awake.” He smiled at me and got up from the floor, leaving the room.

                “ert.” I grumbled and got myself dressed and ready before dragging myself and my single small suitcase down the hall. I bid the member a small farewell as I was going to be boarding the same plane, but ahead of them to keep my identity safe from the fans for the meantime.

               After getting out of the taxi at the airport and checking my luggage in, I went to a small shop and bought a couple of souvenirs for fun. I sat with my backpack at a small bench at the gate, waiting for it to open for boarding and took out my phone. I quickly dialed the number and held the receiver to my ear.

               “Hello?” The English made me smile, hearing a familiar, homey voice.

               “Hey Mom, its Jihyun.”

               “Oh, hello dear, what’s up?”

               “You know how you and Kevin have wanted to take Nick for a vacation lately?” I heard her murmur of affirmation on the other line and I sighed. “How long does it take for you to get down to Anaheim?”

               “From here, about six or seven hours, why?” I giggle slightly at the confusion in her voice, but took in a breath to calm myself.

               “I’m leaving with the guys today for SM Town LA. I’ll be in Los Angeles for about four days because I’m going to leave after them. We could all go to Disneyland together.” I casually spoke and I heard my mother scream like one of the fangirls I had gotten oddly used to in the past time I’ve been in Korea.

               “Oh my. Yes, dear. What day? We’ll be there definitely! Just tell me when and we’ll drive down there for you sweetie.”

               “The concert is tomorrow for you guys, and then on the twenty-first I’ll be able to do my own thing from what their manager was telling me.” I could practically see my mom hyperventilating with the bright smile on her face. “Mom?”

               “Of course sweetie, tomorrow we’ll drive down and spend a few nights down there. It’ll be Nick’s first time to Disneyland. Oh! Is it just you or is your boyfriend coming with us? Chunji was his name right?”

               “No, he won’t be coming Mom. We have a lot of things to talk about when we meet though. Well, I have to go, the gates just opened and I have a fifteen hour flight ahead of me. Give Nick a kiss for me. I love you Momma.”

               “I love you too sweetie. See you in a couple days!” I said my farewell and shut my phone, grabbing my backpack and slinging it over my back as I held out my papers for the lady at the front.  As she gave me my papers back, I bowed to her and walked through the boarding hall and into the plane, quickly finding my seat. Just as I became comfortable, a passenger plopped down next to me and stretched his arms up. A whisper of a whiff of manly cologne fogged my senses and I sighed happily before looking over. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head and I groaned lightly.

               “Oh hi there, newbie.” The man’s voice chirped and I shrunk in my seat, taking out my iPod for after takeoff. “Yoohoo, newbie.” He waved his hand in front of my eyes and I glared at him.

               “Yes, Leeteuk? Why are you even in China?” I questioned and he just smiled.

               “Zhou Mi and Henry needed to be reeled in you know, I am responsible for them. I’m glad you remember me though.”

               “How could I forget you, you creeped on me in an elevator the first day I walked into SM Entertainment.” He laughed lightly at my words and leaned back in his seat next to the aisle.

               “Well, let’s not be creepy. How about we start over?” He offered and extended his hand. “I’m Park Jungsoo, leader of Super Junior, and a completely not intentionally creepy guy.” A laugh fell on my breath and I had to admit he was amusing.

               “I’m Jihyun, American Photographer, former head of the digital art department of TOP Media, reinstated drama and dance teacher, and backstage photographer of SM Entertainment focusing on the rookie group Exo, sub-group Exo-M.” He chuckled lightly and shook my hand before we both relaxed into our seats. The announcement for takeoff came over the intercom and I looked over to see my younger friends on the opposite side of the plane. I waved to Tao as he smiled at me and then went back to sitting comfortably.

               After take-off, I bid a goodnight to Leeteuk even though it was broad daylight, put my earphones on and laid my head on the pillow I propped up against the side of the plane. With my music on shuffle, I slowly drifted to sleep, singing softly out loud by accident.

“Dadeul michyeotdago hae geuman ijeurago hae”

               “Jihyun! I’m not as gentle as Lu Han and Tao. Get your up!” I grumbled and shifted as per usual, and received a swift kick to my behind, pushing me out of whatever I was sleeping on and onto the floor. I groggily opened my eyes and was met with a strange room. “Hello.” Out of nowhere, a male’s face appeared in front of mine, only centimeters away. My heart had a spasm and I screamed, pushing him away. “Whoa! Jihyun! It’s just me.” He gripped my shoulders and forced me to face him. Feeling my heart calm, I glared darkly at him.

               “Chaneyol, I’ll give you ten seconds to back up before I kill you for scaring me.” The Happy Virus laughed lightly and shook his head. “It’s now down to five.” I warned and his eyes widened.

               “Are you serious?” He inquired in disbelief and I readied myself.

               “Three seconds.”

               “Yah! Yah! That was four not three!”

               “Yeah? And here’s one.” I growled and lunged forward, tackling the tall male to the floor. Just before I could do anything, I was dragged off of him and to the other side of the room.

               “This is why I wake her up. She doesn’t try to kill me.” Kris held out a hand for Chanyeol, who took it to stand back up as I pouted from my half-dragged body propped up against the wall on the other side.

               “Yeah, noted.” Chanyeol muttered and shook his head lightly. As I sat staring at them, my surroundings dawned on me. I jumped up and looked around me. “Looks like she figured it out.”

               “Hey! How did I get here?! I fell asleep next to Jungsoo on the plane!” I cried out and looked around for my bags.

               “Relax, Leeteuk dressed up to hide himself and snuck you out through the back. We gave him the hotel because you wouldn’t wake up on the plane.” Lu Han sat me down, took my hands, looked into my eyes with his soft, glossy ones and explained gently. He succeeded in his mission to calm me, and I took a deep breath. “Now that all twelve of us are together, let’s go get something to eat, yeah?” I nodded gently and Chanyeol’s jaw dropped.

               “What? I- er- uh…” He was speechless Kris patted him on the shoulder.

               “You learn a lot when you live with someone even for a short period of time.” He smiled at me gently before guiding his friends out of the hotel room first. As Lu Han pushed me by my shoulders out of the room, I texted a quick thank you to Leeteuk. We met with the managers and the coordinators, whom I walked with to not be noticed, and we all went across the street to McDonalds for some food. Kris and I teamed to get the orders and I felt comfortable being back with him.

               “Too bad we can’t show off our relationship here, you know?” Kris mumbled sadly as we stood in line. “I just want to hug you right now.” He trailed off and I patted his arm.

               “That’s what hotel rooms are for dear.” I spoke and moved up in line before I realized what I just said. My gaze shot up to Wu Fan and he was just smirking darkly at me. “No, no! I-that’s-”

               “Trust me, Cactus, I plan on using it to the best we can.” He smirked before putting his hand on the small of my back to push me forward in line. “I already feel sorry for the cleaning crew.” He mused with that smirk planted on his lips, tormenting my slip up. My eyes widened and he chuckled lightly as he looked back down at me. “Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you.” He attempted to reassure me and I looked away. Suddenly I could feel his breath on my neck as he whispered against my ear. “If you behave anyways; you’ve always had trouble with that before.” I blushed bright red and nudged him harshly as I stood up and placed our order. The lady gave us a bewildered expression and I sighed.

               “We’re with them.” I pointed to the rest of the Exo members, the managers, and the coordinators. The girl nodded and read the large order back to me before charging my card and giving me my number.

               Though it felt like late night for us, the time in Los Angeles was just a little after noon. After lunch, we all went back up into the hotel, and we gathered in the manager’s room to get the details for later. We had a free time of about three hours before we had to go to the stadium for the concert preparation. I planned on using that for a good nap since I overslept on the plane and felt —and likely looked like—the walking dead. I took my room key and left the manager’s room, making my way down to the room number he told me. Before I could reach the door, the card was snatched from me and I looked up to see Kris opening my door for me.

               “How about some fun?”
