The next day is a day of grief. There were no talk to Hannah about whether she would go or not, the agency agreed with Emelia that it would be a good closure, and that’s why dressed in black, 5 Pieces attend the memorial service with Myung and his family. Two ladies go first with the family, Myung’s brother is there too in a wheelchair and it is just so much tears. With some of the dancers the other three ladies go when the others come back, everyone in black and mourning and taking their time, not bringing any attention to them. Hannah gives her all to not start crying when she is there, holding on tightly to Emelia’s hand, these two not leaving each other’s side at the memorial service.

Though they found it inappropriate, Myung’s mother convinced them all to come to their house afterwards. Myung’s brother is there, the one everyone should put their attention on but no one really daring to say much to him because he looks beaten up and broken. To have the house filled with 5 Pieces and their dance crew must be awkward for Myung’s brother who hasn’t met many of them ever before, while he is told by his parents how supportive and helpful the ladies have been, saying how much they prayed all together for his return… Everything just feels wrong for Hannah. She doesn’t think she should be there, even if she is glad Myung’s brother is alive she finds it wrong for his brother to have these strangers there when he is mourning his classmates and what he has been witnessed.

Being at the memorial service felt good, she got to hold back her tears a lot and just pray without feeling it is wrong because thousand and thousand of people do the same there, but to sit in this house and hear a mother cry out of happiness that her son has returned alive while the son is only thinking of the terror he has witnessed and all the friends he has lost, it just feels wrong to sit there. Hannah knows a lot of the others feel the same sitting or walking around in the house, no smile seen other than the forced ones whenever the mother asks if they don’t find it a blessing to have her son back. Because most of them share the same thoughts and feelings of being there they keep their visit short.

The day is still early on Friday after the memorial service. Hannah’s body still has this weakness from lack of eating and from being at the hospital, but like always the schedule is not changed and today’s schedule she actually looks forward to. 5 Pieces is going to Malaysia for a beach photo shoot; hot summer and the beach with 5 Pieces. It can not go wrong.

A few hours on the plane, calming down from the memorial service, they arrive in Malaysia and spend the next hours going to the island they will be having the photo shoot on while at the same time having a guided sightseeing. It’s like a vacation. The same morning they had gotten dressed in black and were mourning, and now in the afternoon they are in a completely different sight for the vacation. The weather is hot; the ladies are in shorts and tops, looking longingly at everything they see, and it is like when Hannah went to the beach with Jonghyun; healing and relaxing – but louder.

Something that Hannah had worried about was whether she would eat well or not, and because of the heat when arriving she worried more because she tends to not be able to eat when it’s hot, but a lot of the things they are served and that they order are combined with cold and yummy drinks and fruits, making it easier to eat.

Eating a late dinner at the hotel they are staying at, 5 Pieces look like they have been here for days already; beside from that they are pale from being in the city, and not here by the beach. Their hotel is the closest to the beach, maybe the most expensive hotel nearby but it is huge with a great view and a pool, and everything is in white like a super villa at the beach in rich movies. The ladies get to sit by the table by the balcony with the slide-door made of glass pushed open for the cool sea breeze to reach them, the view is amazing with the pool right outside and the sea further away. They definitely got the best room at the hotel.

“My mom wants me to start updating Facebook,” Emelia comments while they are enjoying the food on the table.

“You still have that?” Carolina looks surprised. “I deleted mine years ago…”

“I look through it from time to time,” Emelia answers, “All my relatives use it. Mom said my cousins would enjoy it if I updated the page at times, because my relatives don’t look at our blog and those things because we write in Korean at times.”

Hannah just nods, but Maria asks if Emelia doesn’t have old classmates as friends on Facebook, to which Emelia says she has a bunch of old classmates on Facebook. Facebook is a lot about status, how many friends you have even if you haven’t seen each other in years or even if you didn’t talk during your school years together. Hannah remembers a lot of people she had never exchanged a word with added her as a friend on Facebook just because of the number of friends. Emelia probably has that too.

“You think our fans will notice that? Or will it be private among your family?” Maria keeps asking questions.

“I got no idea. But I keep thinking of uploading pictures of us, like now when we are doing the photo shoot here. It would be great to show a picture of us really enjoying the beach or something; mom would like it,” Emelia says, “You okay with that?”

“You’re asking for permission?” Julia asks with a laugh and the others actually laughs too, though Carolina focuses more on eating.

“After all these years…” Maria dramatically jokes and Emelia just rolls her eyes, pushing Hannah on the shoulder because Hannah laughs too.

“Hilarious. Watch it so I don’t take sleeping pictures of you to upload online,” Emelia warns them and leans over the table to reach for some more food.

The ladies enjoy the evening in Malaysia, but they go to bed early. The heat makes them tired, but they have to wake up early in the morning to prepare for the shooting.

Early in the morning, 5 Pieces get their hair and make-up ready while eating breakfast. It is a light breakfast, to look good for the camera, and the ladies get dressed in the chosen summer outfits before heading to where they will begin the photo shoot.

The first day will be spent by the hotel, to do the photo shoot by the pool and the hotel surrounding. That means that the ladies can relax and just lie down in the sun-chair waiting for their turn while working on their summer tan. Hannah is first up. In the morning they had turned the hotel room into a hair-saloon to prepare their hairs for a comeback style, meaning that Hannah’s hair now is in pastel pink, long and light, suited for the beach and summer island. She gets to wear a pair of high-waist distressed jeans shorts and a loose cropped t-shirt; it fits the summer concept, but she surely has too much make-up on to be able to enjoy the sun, covered in sun-cream and whatnot to look like she really has been enjoying the sun for a few days.

While Hannah is off posing for the camera, the other ladies are really enjoying the sun while waiting for their turn. Emelia is getting ready for her turn though, so she is not sitting in a bikini and facing the sun but instead being inside. Hannah poses all differently, both standing up and sitting down, the whole time somehow trying to cover up the tiny part of her stomach visible in the cropped t-shirt. When sitting down the cropped t-shirt covers her stomach, but when standing up she tries to cover it with her arm, only that the photographer wants her to stretch up her arms to show off her s-line. Hannah does as she is told; only embarrassed on the inside, while her manager is standing on the side with a smile knowing how insecure she is with her body, especially after loosing weight. Manager Kim takes a few pictures too, so when checking the pictures later Hannah can see the pictures that are not taken with the super awesome camera the photographer uses. They change clothes and continue with more pictures.

“Doesn’t it look weird?” Hannah asks the manager when looking at the pictures once she is done with her part; Emelia taking over.

“It looks really sophisticated and y,” Manager Kim says, smiling over how silly Hannah is. The pictures turns out great, it is just Hannah is silly.

Hannah goes inside to change clothes, and goes out to show the pictures on her phone to the ladies sitting in the sun. “Doesn’t it look weird?” Hannah asks them, taking a seat next to Maria.

“Gorgeous,” Maria answers shortly, giving back the phone to look up at the sun. “Get that top off now, baby, we are burning here.”

Hannah giggles and pulls off the long top she is wearing to join the others in a bikini, smiling when looking up at the sun. She breathes out, feeling relaxed in the sun next to her members, her skin starts burning too in the hot sun and it feels like a summer vacation. Carolina ends up being under a parasol, not loving the sun on her skin the same way the other three does.

“We should have brought some snacks with us,” Carolina mentions.

“You said you were taking it with you,” Maria mutters, upset over something they brought up last night.

“Yeah, but Emelia said she was taking it-”

“Emelia said she is NOT taking anything with her because Appa ALWAYS looks through her bag,” Maria corrects her.

“Please don’t say you are fighting over snacks again,” Hannah mumbles.

Maria smiles up at the sun. “Who wants to take a picture of me like this?”

Carolina and Julia shows no response – Julia is listening to music – so Hannah ends up being the one. Maria guides her through it all, knowing exactly how she wants the picture, and that means Hannah has to take a few pictures, let Maria look through them, then is given new instructions and does it all over again. By the time Maria is satisfied, Carolina is up and away to prepare for her shoot.

“I think the fans will like this,” Maria says as she rolls around to lie on her stomach, starting to upload the picture on Instagram that shows her in a bikini enjoying the sun. You can see Carolina further away holding a book too, hiding in the shadows. Carolina’s deep red hair stands out a lot, looking absolutely gorgeous in shoulder-length. Maybe fans won’t even notice it is Carolina.

The day seem joyful and relaxing, the photo shoot goes well and at each chance the ladies sit down in the sun. But after lunch there are clouds covering the sun now and then, though that doesn’t seem to stop them. To get a tan to welcome summer sounds like a good idea. The photo shoot is fun too with the light clothes, shorts or summer dresses; the whole concept seems elegant and feminine, like sophisticated teenagers at the beach.

After shooting by the hotel all day, they all go to a beach nearby in the evening when the sun is about to set in a few hours. Wearing beach dresses, either long or short ones, the wind blowing their hair and dresses perfectly for the pictures, 5 Pieces are enjoying the evening sun and beach for the photo shoot.

They are walking away from the camera, the photographer busy taking as many pictures as possible while the ladies are slowly walking away. Julia walking deepest in on the sand away from the water is holding up her long sleeveless beach dress lightly for it to fly up in the wind, her pixie cut looks non-styled and is freely moving so she looks like a beach goddess. Hannah is in a short dress, and she smiles as she walk backwards, making sure the dress is down but looking to have fun as the photographer tells them to laugh for the camera. Her hair blows in her face and she puts it all on one side to control it better, still managing to look just as pretty like the other ladies in their pretty beach dresses and light wind blowing to their laughter.

Though they try to do as much as possible today, when the sun has set they return to the hotel to eat dinner and go to bed to begin early in the morning again.

Emelia’s talk about Facebook has continued today ands he has during the day kept taking pictures in search for the perfect picture to share with her relatives. Before going to bed she seems to have made up her mind when showing the ladies the chosen picture; their manager had gotten to take a picture of them on the beach in their dresses; not as professional as the real photographer but you can see five girls having fun while working. And that is what Emelia writes for her update; ‘doing a photo shoot in Malaysia, happiness overload’.

“LOL,” Emelia chuckles and shows a comment to Hannah, one of the first.

‘wow you all look stunning, surprised over the update, it’s nice knowing you are having fun :)’ is written by a classmate from about six years ago, someone who didn’t often talk to anyone of them. Emelia just laughs as the comments runs in, from her family and old classmates just like expected. A lot of people surprised she updated it, someone even asking if she has become a model and wishing her good luck in the career while another person says he is surprised she remembers this place now when she is a superstar.

“I am a superstar,” Emelia proudly tells Hannah, making Hannah smile as they are in the same group. “My uncle says so.”

“Your uncle used to tell me that you would end up working with cars like your father,” Hannah jokes with her friend and Emelia shrugs her shoulder, saying that future isn’t completely gone both as she still is young and can do many things in her life. Based on the smile in Emelia’s face, Hannah think she is joking; no she do not want to go back to a garage and work with cars when she has this kind of a life.

For the last day on the island, they start the photo shoot at the beach as soon as the sun appears. Carolina is first today, managing to look ier than they knew she could; wearing shorts showing off her pretty bum and a shirt that she ties at the end to show off some of her body. Hannah looks at it from a distance, seeing Carolina doing surprisingly well for the photo shoot as she ties the shirt while leaning back in a pose, and even the photographer gives her praise for the pose.

While waiting for her turn, Hannah is wearing a long-sleeve t-shirt and shorts, not yet dressed. She walks around barefoot on the sand, joined by Maria who also is enjoying the sand and morning weather. It’s hot today too, but the sun just came out and is starting to warm up the surrounding. Walking around on the beach without being in the way for the photo shoot, the two ladies are slowly moving their feet forward while talking about this and that. They take a few pictures too, just dragging out on the time.

Today’s photo shoot is really fun. They are playing with the sand, Maria and Emelia gets to wear bikinis and actually play with the sand for the photos. A great picture is of Maria in a white bikini, sitting tailor on the beach with her blonde hair looking like a summer blonde colour, she is laughing over at someone else and the camera has captured her perfectly in the picture. They play with flowers too. Emelia gets to lie down on her back in the sand, her hair carefully laid out and the ladies helps out to put flowers prettily on her hair. It’s weird. Julia wears a flower dress, walking on the beach and she gets to throw up flowers in the air; staff helps out to throw out flowers too, making her look like a flower goddess on the beach. Hannah gets to sit down by some of the trees, sitting on her knees for one picture wearing the white long blouse with short sleeves and a bikini underneath, her pink hair styled with extensions and a little sandy after rolling around in the sand for previous pictures, and she gets to hold a fruit in hand. Her favourite picture of herself is the one they took yesterday when the sun had disappeared, Hannah walking by herself along the shore wearing a top and bikini, looking to be on a vacation by herself. All of their pictures turn out great – wearing dresses, bikinis or bathing suits, shorts and whatnot. For the bikinis, other than the ones of Maria and Emelia sitting down playing with sand they always wear something over.

It’s still in the middle of the day when the photo shoot is done. And as soon as it ends 5 Pieces rush to the water. They have longed to get in the water. It is hot outside and their skin has been burning since they arrived in Malaysia even with tons of sun-cream because they have been outside most of the time, and 5 Pieces throw off the clothes to be in their bikinis and they run into the water screaming. The water is warm too, but it is definitely much cooler than being on the warm beach, and all of a sudden they have become ten years younger while playing in the water.

{Instagram, 5P_HANNAH: Beach~}

On the way home, Hannah uploads a picture that they had taken of her and Julia before they left the beach. You can spot a sunset somewhere based on the light in the picture, and two girls in shorts and top standing with their hands held up in the air as if thanking the ocean.

Their healing work trip has come to an end. Arriving there on Friday, the ladies are back in Korea at midnight going to Monday. They have definitely gotten a tan, maybe not as much as they wished but you can definitely see they have spent time in the sun, and Hannah feels a lot better when coming home this time.

Performance on Monday. Half the day 5 Pieces has been practicing in the agency, and in the evening they attend a concert as it today is Children’s Day in South Korea; their first time on stage in a month. Hannah can’t remember when they performed in Korea last time – three months ago? – but it is not making her feel good because this country is still mourning the loss from the ferry, everyone performing are wearing the yellow ribbons and no one is too cheerful during the performances. Attending the event is the easy part, it is the performing that puts the ladies on a test. They perform [I Want a Man] without being too cheerful and though they perform it well it is strange to not be cheerful, to not bounce around and be happy, they perform [Oppa] which also is supposed to be a cheerful and happy song but today not as much, and [Daze], which only is difficult to perform because it is tiring. All three songs are well performed thanks to the audience support, and as a special performance 5 Pieces sings their cover of [Stand up for love], and that’s where the ladies’ sad faces can’t be hidden.

The ballad is the most difficult song to sing. Not because of the vocals, because that is no trouble at all, but what is troubling is that Hannah is spending so much of her energy to not start crying while looking out over the audience and hearing her members sing the English cover. All she can think of is her grandmother and all the things they saw in Jindo helping out after the ferry incident. She think she does her best, imagining herself just looking to be into the song other than being in other thoughts, and she tries her best to focus on her parts, on singing with her members and to keep her voice with theirs. Towards the end of the song, when the ladies all are singing the chorus together, Hannah gives a glance to her left and sees Emelia giving her a glance. It’s just a glance to see if the other one is okay, but somehow it warms them both to know they are not standing there alone. They are there together, as 5 Pieces, and it eases their hearts so much.

At the same time it reminds them both of what they have lost. Hannah’s grandmother passed away last September in cancer that had spread through the body, Emelia’s grandmother had passed away two months earlier, both from cancer. Hannah felt so bad last year when Emelia couldn’t go home to say goodbye but had to say it through a video chat, and now too, it is Emelia she feels bad for rather than herself because she understands how lost Emelia must’ve been last year when struggling with all of this.

Her voice breaks in the chorus, not heard because all of them sing together, and Hannah blinks while staring out in nowhere to focus on the last lines of the song, finishing it without breaking apart.

Bowing, she can feel her eyes sting at the tears wanting to arrive and she has to bite on to the inside of her lip to not let them out. She hurries up after Emelia to get off the stage, and just as she is about to hold on to Emelia’s arm, Emelia glances down to take her hand, their steps fast to get off the stage. Their time at the event is over.

“You okay?” Emelia asks when they are off the stage, giving away their microphones.

Automatically Hannah nods, while she in fact just wants to crawl to a corner and cry. Emelia doesn’t trust her nodding and keeps walking while bowing to some staff, thanking everyone for their work with just a bow and Hannah imitates her. It was an outdoor performance so it isn’t a backstage room they go back to but the van, and the whole time they follow their manager and bows to people until they can take their seats in the van.

“You know what, I had the exact same face after my grandmother passed away,” Emelia whispers to Hannah when they are alone in the van. She hurried there with Hannah in case she was going to start crying, but now Hannah just breathes deeply, calming herself thinking of the waves from the ocean. “Wanting to hold everything in the whole time but it just keeps welling up on the inside, trying to burst… You did well, Hannah.”

Hannah grimaces when being told she did well. Now when she is off the stage she can’t even remember what she did out there, but she is pretty sure she didn’t do well. She looks out the window when the door opens to the van and the rest of the members enter; all breathing out and stays quiet for once, all of them still going on with this quiet behaviour as if it is their way to mourn.

At home the ladies do their own thing. Hannah is checking their schedule over and over again; tomorrow they will go to Vietnam to visit a hospital for some charity work and bring supplies that they need. Its a few hours there, and then they will come back to Korea, re-pack their bags and head to Japan in preparations for their four-day concert in Osaka that is this weekend – four days left.

She isn’t sure if she is prepared for the concert, especially not after today’s bad performance. Too annoyed at her mind constantly checking their schedule she ends up going to Emelia’s room to maybe get distracted from the concert, or to have someone to talk about it.

“Is Jonghyun coming after his radio?” Emelia wonders as soon as Hannah is walking inside the room.

“I don’t know…”

Hannah lies down on Emelia’s bed, starting to look through a photo book and looking sad. Jonghyun has texted her all day, asking how she is doing, how the event went… He hasn’t asked about coming over, but then also, his radio program hasn’t even started yet so he is probably in other thoughts preparing for tonight’s program. Emelia is unpacking. She didn’t do it yesterday and is doing it now instead, putting everything in place in her tidy room and planning for their trip to Japan.

“It’s nice when he is here,” Emelia comments, smiling when Hannah looks up with a grimace, “I know, it’s unbelievable to hear it from me, right? But it’s true. You … always has that aura around you when he is here.”

“Mm…”

“Ask him to come,” Emelia suggests, lying down next to Hannah in the bed and looking up at the ceiling.

Hannah puts down her head on the photo book, looking at her childhood friend, her eyes so tired she can barely keep them open. “I should?”

“You should,” Emelia nods, “Unless you don’t want to. I just know that you tend to not ask him because you’re always thinking it is a nuisance for the rest of us, which is why I tell you to ask him.”

“Ah…” is all that comes out of Hannah.

Emelia smiles weakly, she too is tired, and she knows all the thoughts that mess with Hannah’s head with everything going on. Without a word, Emelia rolls on the side to hug Hannah, not tightly at all but it is still considered a hug.

“We should leave all our worries and sorrows by the shore,” Emelia whispers to her, “We have left the beach now, with everything that troubles us. That’s what we said in Malaysia, right? I think Osaka can help us to remember how to smile without an effort.”

Hannah giggles at the wise words and Emelia pats her on the back before sitting up.

“And now I am going to take a bath and imagine that I am still at that beautiful beach,” Emelia dreamy says.

“I think Maria is there,” Hannah whispers.

Emelia gives out a whine and hurries up on her feet. “Not for long,” the rapper mutters and gets out of the room, within seconds starting to bang on the bathroom’s door to shout in a dark voice at Maria to get out of the bath so others can enjoy it. “You’re always there!”

In response, Maria starts singing.

Hannah keeps smiling when picking up her phone to text Jonghyun, asking if he wants to come, and hearing in her background how Maria’s voice sings louder the more Emelia bangs on the door. Within minutes he answers ‘I will run to you as soon as my radio ends, wait a little longer’ with a heart at the end. Hannah likes that her members are there, she can just move around always having someone she likes there. It gives her no space to freak out, and she has someone to ask silly questions to without feeling stupid, and vice versa.

“I can not believe that we have been standing out with her for six years,” Emelia mutters when coming back to her room where Hannah is still lying in the bed. “Hannah, isn’t it annoying?”

Hannah nods with a smile, laughing when Emelia throws a t-shirt on her.

“You are just as annoying,” Emelia says as a joke.

They all go to bed early. Hannah tries to get some sleep, listening to Jonghyun’s radio and she smiles as soon as it ends because Jonghyun texts her saying he is on his way. He was serious when writing earlier that he will run to her as soon as it ends. She lies in bed for a few minutes waiting but ends up going downstairs to wait for him, anxious, really waiting with her eyes blinking at the front door.

It feels like time is ticking too slowly when she stands there, she grimaces from the door to her cell phone, the minutes slowly passing by.

She wonders is this really is her life. After two in the morning she will wait for her boyfriend, to have him there for three-four hours sleeping before they have to work, and a week later they will get to do the same. But she knows that’s the only way; it’s better that way than not at all, right? She can only remember being in a haze for the weeks she had broken up with him, not finding anything as magical or fun as it usually is, and even when she was in France with her members filming their music videos … she felt happy because she knew he thought of her each time he sent a text, each time she looked at her phone and saw he had called or texted she felt this light rush to her heart.

With a smile she opens the door when he comes, and so different from the awkwardness when he showed up that night to sleep over when they had broken up, she is shining in front of him. She can feel it and she shines more when knowing he sees it.

“Why aren’t you hurrying to bed?” Jonghyun asks in a silken soft voice, wrapping his arms around her to kiss her tightly on the cheek after taking off his shoes.

“I was waiting,” Hannah answers with a smile. He smells great.

“And now I’m here,” he whispers in her ear, turning her around with a smile to walk with her upstairs.

“Are you hungry?” Hannah asks and stops on the first stair-step. She turns around to look at him, and Jonghyun looks confused when asking if she is hungry. Hannah shakes her head with a pout and Jonghyun smiles, nodding for her to go up. She always has to ask such questions, not wanting him to be uncomfortable – he loves it.

Instead of lying down in bed, Hannah sits on it, so far in so she can rest her back against the wall, and she watches Jonghyun undress the same way a child waits for candy – excitement – and it would be silly of Jonghyun to not be smirking over it. Not until he has undressed and goes to the bathroom does Hannah lie down comfortably in bed. As soon as her head hits the pillow her eyes can barely be kept open to look at him and Jonghyun hurries to lie down next to her with an arm around her, whispering for her to sleep.

++ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + -+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + -+ - + - ++

A good night of sleep, Jonghyun wakes up with a smile, stretching out in the bed of his girlfriend. But he notices that the movement next to him is not from the side where his girlfriend should be sleeping, in fact, that space feels rather empty for his girlfriend to be sleeping and he looks over his shoulder to look at who moved on the wrong side. Smiling, Hannah has lied down next to him, looking at him with satisfaction, and he can see that she is already dressed.

“Why are you up?” he mumbles, suddenly looking sad that she is already is awake.

“Julia wants to know if you will be joining us for breakfast. But she has already eaten,” Hannah tells him while smiling, biting her lip. “Do you want to eat breakfast?”

“Have you eaten?” Jonghyun asks, stretching out his arms so he almost hits her face, and Hannah laughs lightly. He likes it.

“Of course not.”

He turns around with a smile, wrapping his arm around her and kissing her shoulder. She is wearing a v-neck t-shirt, the fabric is thin and he notices she is wearing a tank top underneath, typical Hannah. “I can eat with you,” Jonghyun tells her, his eyes barely open and keeping his lips on her shoulder.

“Just so you know, we don’t have a Korean breakfast,” Hannah whispers, still smiling adorably for him. “Do you want scamled eggs?”

“Scrambled eggs,” he sweetly corrects her and Hannah gives him a kiss on the forehead.

“Do you want it?”

“Mm,” Jonghyun nods, “If you make it.”

“No one else makes scrambled eggs in the morning,” Hannah whispers and rests her head on the pillow, lying on her stomach. She is in a good mood now. She has gotten a good night of sleep thanks to him, and like Emelia said she will leave her worries and sorrows at the shore – Hannah is going to be 5 Pieces’ shy and happy youngest member, she will focus on that, on her happiness. It is the promise she gives herself. She lies in bed now with Jonghyun, in low voices talking for a bit and cuddling.

Eventually they decide to get up. Hannah leaves the room first, letting Jonghyun get dressed while she head downstairs to prepare the scrambled eggs. Emelia is sitting by the kitchen table with a magazine and light breakfast with some sort of pudding, still in her pyjamas and looking like a child in her pale skin, long hair and skinny body. Emelia just gives Hannah a glance; they have already greeted each other this morning. Hannah starts making scrambled eggs right away, glancing behind her the whole time waiting for Jonghyun to come down. Julia has gone out on the morning walk with the puppies, so it is pretty quiet in the apartment.

Slowly with a yawn he makes his entrance, greeting Emelia friendly and with a smile walking up to see how his breakfast is made. Or he is just looking at Hannah making him breakfast, that is what Emelia sees it like.

“When are you all leaving?” Jonghyun wonders when leaning his against the kitchen worktop standing next to Hannah, his eyes only on his girlfriend though he asks both of the ladies who are in the kitchen.

“In an hour,” Emelia answers as Hannah just shrugs her shoulder.

Hannah fills up the two plates with the scrambled eggs. She had prepared bacon earlier when Julia was eating breakfast – she had woken up an hour too early and while watching Jonghyun sleep she had heard Julia waking up – she made enough bacon for Emelia too who has taken a few bites, but Jonghyun just studies Hannah when she places the scrambled eggs on the plate next to the bacon and she looks up at Jonghyun with innocent eyes to ask if he want a toast to it. She looks better after being in Malaysia; the sun and the beach have done well to the ladies, they have gotten a light tan and look fresh. Hannah with her pink hair that gives her skin a softer glistering, something that Jonghyun takes notice of while studying her. he nods with a smile, and Hannah shyly prepares the toast for him. Jonghyun goes to take a seat when she shoves him away from her and even Emelia is smiling at the face-expression he has.

“If you experience this for a year, you’ll get tired of it,” Emelia ruins his dreaming though with a smirk, “If it’s not eggs for breakfast, she drinks yoghurt. You’ll get bored right away.”

“No chance,” Jonghyun keeps smiling at Hannah. “I would never get bored.”

“Can we change the topic, please?” Hannah requests when coming to the table with the plates.

Emelia leans back in her seat, looking like she will say something bad and Hannah gives her a worried face-expression when taking her seat. In the end Emelia doesn’t say anything; she just smiles at the couple before putting away her dishes and leaves the room, reminding Hannah of when their manager is coming to pick them up before leaving. It’s awkward, because Hannah hears Julia come back to the apartment and Jonghyun is just looking at her while eating.

“Did you sleep well?” Jonghyun asks while slowly finishing up his breakfast, glancing from food to Hannah.

“Mm,” she nods, “what about you?”

He smiles just thinking of how great he slept; only nodding because he knows she can see the smile he has. Both of them sleep well together.

It seems like no one is in a hurry in the apartment among the ladies, so Maria is still sleeping when Jonghyun is leaving. He is going home, to get some more rest before his day begins, and he stands in the hall with Hannah three times longer than planned because they just can’t seem to part. It’s easier for him to leave today than it has been for a while; she looks to be feeling better. Somehow he knows that when Hannah spends time with 5 Pieces, she is the most comfortable and relaxed, but it has been a long time since he admitted he is second on every list of Hannah’s; 5 Pieces always comes first.
