The curiosity drove Taemin crazy, his heart couldn't hold it but he kept on reminding himself that not to beat around the bush. Moonkyu sat on the sofa while holding a bag of chips that he bought yesterday, "Ya! Are you okay? You don't look well." Taemin touched his neck pretended to be unwell whereas he was actually fuming with anger. "I'm not feeling well, my body is aching. I might get it from Jongin." Taemin said.

"Ah, it's a shame because I'm feeling fine now..so perhaps no outing today?" Kai said.

Taemin's face closed in thought, "I still wanna go outside, anyway lets go to ryokan after meal." 

"Ryokan? What is that?" asked Moonkyu.

"A traditional Japanese Inn with a hot spring bath, I just want to loosen up my muscle." 

"Oh sounds nice." said Kai to both of them, "but..."

"Ah, it's my treat, don't worry. Pack up your things, we're going to check out." said Taemin.

Moonkyu who was pretty excited about their road trip looked a little bit confuse now. "Check out? Where is this place anyway? Is it far from here?"

"Not really..about an hour or so." said Taemin while packing up his things. 

       This was the first time for Moonkyu and Kai, they have never ride any bullet train before, unlike Taemin who had travelled with his hyung across Japan. The rookies, Kai and Moonkyu were excited due to their new experience however they fell asleep after 15 minutes. Scenery outside the train was breathtaking, however Taemin who sat there by the window was drifted away with his own thoughts. He tried to close his eyes but still he was bothered by something. Last year was a tough year for him, he remembered the feeling of uncertainties that he had then, when the company asked him to join WGM to improve his variety skills but he ends up getting involved with another difficult situation that was when he started to fall for Naeun. Suddenly Moonkyu woke up from his nap, "Taemin..Taemin ah." Taemin didn't give any response, so he smacked Taemin's arm lightly, "Where have you been? Korea?" asked Moonkyu. "Ouch, can you not?" He felt a little bit agitated by that sudden action. "Ah sorry, I called up your name several time but you didn't answer me."

       "Sorry, I couldn't really hear you." said Taemin. Not longer than that, an announcement came out that they have arrived at the station. Taemin wore a mask, he then called a cab to bring them to their destination. Upon arriving there, Moonkyu and Kai were amazed by their new surroundings, it was rich with natural elements; water, greenery and birds. While they were looking around in awe with each of them carrying their backpack on their shoulders, Taemin shouted at them, " Guys, let's go," he leads the way to the place, unlike traditional inn, this one was a bit special because of its modern concept interior. "Wow, nice." said Kai while patting Taemin's back. 

        Their eyes were wandering around, like a child who's visiting a theme park for the first time. Everything catches their attention. When they stepped in the Onsen, several staffs who were familiar with Taemin, welcoming them with smile. While Taemin was required to check in at the front desk, Moonkyu and Kai were doing their own things with their phone. "Yo, let's go." said Taemin to both of them. A female staff then, led them to their room. It was like stepping into a man made heaven, the room is facilitated with an open-air bath onsen, spacious living room and dining room, a deck terrace and a washroom. Their room is the most expensive that cost 59,000 Yen per night, Taemin decided not to reveal it since he didn't want them to feel burdened. Moonkyu and Kai lay down on the floor resting their tired bodies before going to the open bath. Meanwhile, Taemin who couldn't wait any longer, soaked his body with just wearing a boxer. He drummed his fingers on the edge of the pool, trying to find a way on how to ask Kai about why does he have Naeun's phone number in his contact list. Suddenly Taemin heard a noise, looked like his two friend were heading for a bath. Kai walked to the bath with his left hand holding a bottle of wine and his right hand holding three glasses, he then pour the wine into those glasses for each one of them. Drinking wine at a perfect time like this, turning the mood into an up close and personal just like when they were drinking beer at night after strolling along Han river. Suddenly Moonkyu broke the ice, "Taemin, why do you look so laid back today? You were like sticking with your phone 24/7 yesterday. Don't you miss her?" Taemin put a fake smile on his face, "I just don't feel like it. His answer was that simple and soulless. "Kai tilted his head, "Why? You seem
