21 - Enter 3 Pov's

Kyeom pov.

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go anywhere Hoshi wanted to go. You Hoshi said he's gonna decide everything and make Joshua the third wheel instead. He said that I will be with him through out the trip because he was still a little mad at Woozi. And I don't understand it by the way because they seemed fine last night.

"I guess we wont be having this vacation to ourselves then." Joshua whispered in my ear as we were both changing our clothes.

"Shhhh. This trip is a healing trip. Not a honeymoon." I told him.

"Woah the first thing you think of is  honeymoon? Aren't we too advance?" He teased me as he held on the my shirt as I changed to another sweater because I was picking my outfit.

"You know what? Maybe I'll hang out with Hoshi the whole time if you keep teasing me." I said and He laughed and just sat at the bed as I continued to rummage my bag for outfits.

"Alright I'll shut up. Since I had a great sleep next to you." He said and I just rolled my eyes.

"Ok I'll just announce that I'm in the room. So both of you should keep your flirting to a minimum. I'm not in the mood and how many sweaters did you even bring dude.?!?" Hoshi complained.

"Yeah. Stop being a sour puss. Whatever happened to Woozi and you yesterday that made you so weird today" I complained back.

"I don't wanna see his face again." He said while crossing his arms.

"I doubt that." Joshi commented that earned a glare from my bestie.

"Ok break up with this guy." Hoshi said and I just laughed at his pettiness.

Then all of a sudden just when I finished fixing my outfit the door opened. Woozi went inside and sat beside Joshua.

"We're thinking of going to the beach." He said. Hoshi didn't bat an eye and just kept quiet.

"Oh the beach? I think Hoshi mentioned something about wanting to go to the beach... why don't you guys go together." Joshu suggested. Probably trying to keep Hoshi away from me.

"I have never—-" before Hoshi could complain Woozi smiled.

"Alright then come on pretend boyfriend! Let's continue our love story." Woozi obviously joked as he continued their skit last night. Hoshi was speechless and I just laughed at his expression. Pure confusion.

"How about you guys? Wanna come?" Woozi asked as he dragged Hoshi out the door.

"Nahhh.. I think we'll stay back here. Maybe check some of the restaurants nearby." Joshi said as he waved goodbye to Hoshi.

"You know he's gonna hate you more now." I said to Joshi.

"Well it's alright. As long as you love me" he said as he pulled me back to bed and kissed my forehead while wrapping me into a tight hug.

"My outfit's gonna be destroyed." I complained but smiling still.

"You know what? Maybe we could just stay in bed?" He asked and I rolled my eyes and stood up.

"Are you really a pervert??? Come on let's go to Amore.  Mingyu and Wonu's waiting." I said as I received a text from Wonu.

We went out the room and saw Mingyu and Wonu in the lobby.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Dino said something about meeting some teachers. Vernon and Kwannie went shopping for grocery later for the barbecue. Mentioned something about a zipline.... Jeonghan and Cheol went to play billiards.. hoshi and Woozi went to the beach... that leaves us four in here." Wonu said.

"I was actually planning to tag along with Woozi but Hoshi was giving me death glares the whole time so I hesitated." Mingyu mumbled.

"If you want to go to the beach just go." Wonu rolled his eyes.

"Alright alright play nice." I whispered to Wonu.

"Nahh beach is no fun without you." Mingyu said all of a sudden and shocked me and Wonu. Well I see he's being brave. Wonu was still shy about what he heard and just walked away.

"A double date it is." Joshi joked and just laughed.

"I don't think being so direct and public can make Wonu like you again. Try another approach." I jokingly said and Joshi just laughed at his friend.

The four of us got a rented car from the owner of the hotel. We explored some vineyards and little shops on the way. Got some cute beads and keychain for Joshi. Then we arrived at the restaurant. Wonu called ahead and we were escorted inside. I was skeptical at first because it looked like a gasoline station but then when we entered the shop there was another door and stairs going down.

"This place is exciting..." Wonu whispered and I nodded in surprise.

"Yeah and surprisingly full. I didn't expect this to have a lot of people inside." Joshi commented.

"Yeah I bet they have lobster.. i would really love one." Mingyu mumbled and Wonu just chuckled. Oh I see are they getting along?

"Let's take a picture." I suggested and we did.

"Let's just post this later. I look really cute there." I said and Wonu just teasingly rolled his eyes.

We ordered some food and ate at the restaurant. We talked a lot about what's going on in each other's life and all.

"The pasta was amazing. I can't even stand up anymore." Wonu said.

"That's because you ate so much. I have never seen you eat that much before dude." I said and he laughed. Wonu is a really simple friend. If he's comfortable with you he's the most fun person every time.

"Sooo... what's up with you two? You both like each other why not date?" Joshi suddenly said leaving us all dumbfounded. Mingyu just spilled water on himself and Wonu choking on ice cream... or should I say gelato.

"Josh that's a little awkward." I said smiling innocently.

"He doesn't like me he hates me. He's just guilty that's why he's been so nice to me lately." Wonu said sounding like it was not a big deal for him at all.

"Actuallyy..." I started to say but Mingyu looked at me to stop.

"I don't hate you." Mingyu said directly looking at Wonu.

"Oh. You don't? Oh I don't know what to say." Wonu said sounding flustered. Damn I know he was weak against Mingyu.

"Ohhhhhh... why not play pretend? Like Hoshi and Woozi." Joshi suggested.

"You have a lot of imagination for someone that I just said yes to." I told him nudging him to shut up with his ridiculous ideas.

"What like a trial?" Mingyu asked obviously grabbing the opportunity.

"I'm sorry... that would be weird right?" Mingyu asking Wonu.

"I don't think it's a good idea." Wonu said. Then Mingyu chuckled with Joshi.

"We should probably go.. we are getting into heated territory." I said trying to ease the conversation. I don't think forcing it would be great for both of them right now. Maybe just observe how this will all work out. Atleast they are not glaring at each other anymore.

"Hey" I felt Joshi tapping on my lap as we were eating.

"Huh?" I said.

"We should go back here just the two of us.." he said and I smiled.

"Stop being cheesy and eat your pasta." I said and he laughed.

————————————————————————-

Woozi pov.

I thought we were gonna have a few friends here with us but now it's just the two of us going to the beach. Vernon said he was gonna catch up but he's stillNot here and Hoshi seemed excited last night when we talked but now he seemed awkward.

"Is something wrong? Do you not want to go? Because I can totally understand." I asked him because he was silent on the way since the hotel.

"Oh.. it's nothing. I just have a lot of things on my mind." He said.

"Well don't think about those things for a little while because we are here! And we are gonna enjoy this." I said to hype him up. I don't know what's wrong with him but I wanted to cheer him up. I saw him smile but still not all the way.

"Alright. Wanna go for a swim right away?" He asked and then strip his shirt and ran towards the beach without even waiting for me.

"Hey wait!" I said as I rushed to catch up to him as I ran towards the water too. As soon as I touched the water it was pure heaven. I closed my eyes to feel the coolness of the water and smiled. I miss the beach so much. Then I saw Hoshi staring at me.

"The water's amazing." I said awkwardly.

"You don't need to make small talk we could just enjoy the beach." He suddenly said and that was the last straw. I made my way beside him and glared at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you today?!? You keep on making things awkward. I thought we were getting closer but you keep on putting distance between us!" I shouted at him. The waves were still rising and hitting me as I was shouting at him and he looked surprised.

"I told you nothing's wrong!" He said and I rolled my eyes.

"You say that but you act differently. If you don't wanna come with me you should have said so! I was looking forward to this and you be like this! This sucks!" I said and marched back to the shore angrily. This was supposed to be a therapy and a break session but he is making this a big stupid drama.

"Woozi wait! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." He started catching up to me. Then I stopped and faced him again.

"Alright give it to me straight. What's up with you???!" I said as an ultimatum.

"I already told you! Many times already. But you keep on dismissing it." He said and I got confused.

"What?!? I don't know what you're talking about." I said to him. Then he held both my shoulders as he looked into me directly without blinking.

"Look Woozi.. I like you!" He said and I frowned my eyebrows.

"I know. We already established that. I like you too" I said dumbly.

"No you don't get it. I like you like Boo loves Vernon. Like romeo and juliet like salt and pepper! I can't make this even more obvious than I already am. I like you so much! But you don't see me in that light. And it's annoying because everyone notices how I like you but not you!" He said without even catching his breath and I stood there frozen. My heart pounding after hearing all that was not making my brain function properly.

"Uhmm.... I didn't think you were serious. I mean you did say that to me two times only and both of those times you were drunk." I said without thinking and then he looked hurt as if I said something I shouldn't have. Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut because he avoided eye contact and walked back without waiting for an answer from me. Then I saw Vernon coming towards us.. hoshi just passed by him and ran away.

"I made it! Woah the beach amazing. What's up with that guy. Didn't even high five me. Oh and Boo's coming after he delivers all the food in the hotel" Vernon complains and laughed. Then he noticed I was not laughing.

"Woozi?" He asked as million questions snd scenarios played in my head.

"I need to talk to him." Was all I said before I left Vernon confused on the beach alone. He'll be fine on his own.

I ran towards Hoshi avoiding any people in the process. I even forgot my slippers because I wanted to catch up to him. The beach sand was already hot but I endured it and ran towards him. He can't just say something like that and leave me alone.

I finally caught up to him and dragged him into an empty corner. As soon as I did he looked at me without any expression but guilt? I don't know why though.

"Hoshi. I'm not the clingy type or the say your feelings type of guy but I don't wanna lose you as a friend." I said to him and he just looked down.

"But I can't be just a friend anymore." He said and I looked at him. Why is my heart hurting every time he says something so sad.

"I don't wanna respond to you right away. I'm not even sure how I feel. You can't just force it out of me." I said with a little annoyance because it feels like I have no choice. If I say I like him it will be like lying to him and if I reject him right away, I will lose a close friend. I don't know what to do.

"I'm not forcing you. It's just... it's just you do these things that confuse me a lot. I can't help how I feel. I'm a puppet to my emotions." He said and I just looked at him.

"That's why I wanna talk this out. Stop running away." I said and this time he looked at me.

"I'm ashamed." He suddenly said.

"Don't be such a baby. I don't care if you like me. I just can't  say the same thing to you... right now." I said. I don't know why I said that but it just seemed right for this time.

"Right now? Do you think you can reciprocate my feelings? Wait don't answer that I don't wanna know." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Can you just stop. Let's just hang out. We'll see what happens." I said.

"We always hang out!" Hoshi shouted and it shook me.

"Hoshi, this is not easy for me too! Do you think I could just grab your face and kiss you just to know if I like you back?!?" I shouted back.

"Yes! Is that so hard to do?!?" He shouted back. I was upset and annoyed at this point.

"Fuck it!" I said as I grabbed his face and smashed my lips into his lips. I know I caught him off guard because I was caught off guard myself. Then I realized what I was doing and took a step back.

"What the hell am I doing?!?" I said as I saw Hoshi there frozen from his place.

"We—just— i mean.. we! Wait where are you going?!?" Hoshi stuttered and I ran away. This time it was me that was running away. Now I'm the fucking baby. ........——————————————-.....—————-Joenghan pov.

"Alright who ever loses will do a tiktok dance." I said and cheol laughed at me.

"Are you kidding me? We are too old for that." He commented.

"Oh are you scared?" I challenged him and laughed.

"Your funeral." He said and then started the game. The game went on without any problem at first. That's only until I realized I was losing.

"You look sweaty." He teased me and I glared at him.

"If you love me, you'll let me win." I said to him and he chuckled.

"You know I could say the same thing and you will still never let me win right?" He said and I laughed because it was true. Then he shot his last shot.

"Damn! I need to make the tiktok?" I complained and then he just laughed at me.

"I told you that it was a stupid Idea." He said.

"Do it with me then." I asked and he shook his head.

"You might be very pretty with your cute long hair but I will not dance that TikTok with you." He said with conviction.

"Even if I don't have any clothes while doing it?" I teased him and he smirked.

"If you do that, I'll be immediately terminating my subscription." He joked and I just pouted.

"Where is the romance with you nowadays?!?" I complained and stormed out the room.

"Hannie! I was kidding! Come back." He said but I continued to walk out.

"Alright alright! I'll do different one if you give me a sorry kiss right now." He said surrendering to my childish behavior.

"Really?" I asked excitedly.

"Whatever. How bad can dancing be?" He said and I just smirked. He's gonna be so cute. I mean I would be too but that was already a given.

——————————————————————-2222222Kyeom's pov.

" Wanna go take a dip in the indoor pool?" Joshi suddenly asked as we were both reading a book on the bed with my head on his lap.

"I'm too lazy." I said as I put the book down and snuggled into him. I don't wanna be clingy but lately I just wanna be with Joshi all day. I placed my hands around his waist and he kissed my forehead.

"What's up with you. You seem..." he said in confusion.

"Seem what?" I said as I looked at his eyes.

"Seems different somehow." He said as he poked my nose.

"Bad different?" I asked.

"Definitely not. It's great that you're so open about us when it's just us. But I can't help but think about the time when we get back. Are you still gonna act like this? Or is this a trial thing? Because honestly I'm getting used to this." He said and I immediately know what he wants to talk about and I don't wanna do it.

"Josh.. I don't wanna talk about that right now." I told him as I played with his lips.

"But when are we talking about us?" He asked.

"Why do you want people to know?? Can't it be just us?" I asked.

"Nevermind... there is nothing I can do to change your mind right?" He said as he got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

"Josh come on." I said but he just smiled at me.

"Relax. I'm just gonna wash up." he said. I didn't follow him and just sat there on the bed thinking Why does he need to make our relationship public so much? I just don't get it.

Then all of a sudden there was a banging on our door.

"Party in an hour! Cheol's treat! Be ready! Theme? Black and white." Dino said as he jumped up and down. Then he was about to go away but I grabbed his collar.

"And where were you earlier young man?" I asked him.

"Well. While you were busy having double dates. I was hanging out with my teachers. Sir Hao and sir Jun" he said and I was shocked.

"They are both in italy?? That's a big coincidence." I said.

"Yup and they are coming to the party which will happen in 56 minutes because you keep on wasting my time to get ready! Now come on and bring Joshua!" He said as he run around messaging everyone.

I closed the door and walked back to the bed again. This time Joshi was walking out the bathroom.

"Party in an hour. Dino's probably hosting." I said in disbelief.

Joshua just nodded and went to his closet and picked out some clothes as I was delivering him a message.

"Oh and sir Hao and Jun are here." I added to catch his attention but no effect whatsoever. He just nodded and smiled again. Alright I'm gonna need another damage control right now.

"Josh... you're upset." I said as an empath (a joke).

"I'm not... relax just gonna get something to eat." He said as he went out the room and probably went to the kitchen for a pizza or something.

I didn't wanna push it now so I just let him walk away. I know he does this all the time. I wanted to give him some time but honestly I didn't know what to say to him. I'm still not that confident to make our relationship public. Why can't it be just us? This is frustrating——

Before I could finish my thoughts, Hoshi went inside still half naked. Probably just got out of the shower.

"Ohhhhh I guess the beach trip went well?" I jokingly asked and then he walked towards me without saying anything still dazed and lost somehow.

"Dude are you malfunctioning?!??" I asked him. I guess a distraction like this would be helpful in my overthinking.

"We just kissed." He said in a very low tone but I heard it.

"You what? With who?!!" I said in panic.

"Woozi—" before he could say anything I stood up in panic maybe excitedly as well.

"No way!!!! You finally confessed?!?! And he likes you back?!? Dude why are you even here... if My crush would—-" I didn't finish saying what I was gonna say because I noticed his face was contorting like he ate something bad.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"I think I just ruined our vacation. I forced Woozi into something I don't even remember even forcing him too ughhhhhh I don't know what to do." He mumbled and I think I just had a stroke because I don't get what he just said to me or either I blacked out.

"Can you stop saying nonsense and explain to me what you did?" I told him and he just shook his head and burried his face into a pillow and shouted.

"Okey getting scared." I said to him and he just shouted on the pillow more and more. Then all of a sudden there was another knock on the door. Hoshi and I looked at the door at the same time then heard something.

"Kyeom! Are you busy?." Woozi said on the other side of the door.

"Shhhh don't tell him I'm here??" Hoshi said as he covered himself with a pillow like that's gonna help.

"What!? Just talk to the guy!" I said but whispered at the same time.

"No! I can't atleast not right now! Tell him to go!!!" He exclaimed and as I was about to say exactly that to Woozi he barged inside. Joshi was behind him so I assumed he opened it for him. I immediately kicked Hoshi to the ground and he fell under the bed immediately hiding. It's a miracle Woozi didn't suspect me.

"I can't believe what I just did!" Woozi said as he sat on the bed.

"I guess you guys have to talk. I'll give you guys some privacy." Joshi said as he walked out the room.

"Uhmm woozi I think this is not the perfect time to talk." I said trying to avoid getting caught in the middle of these two.

"Why? Hoshi's not here and he's exactly the reason why I want to talk to you. Because I can't really understand what's going on inside that guys head!" Woozi complained and laid in my bed then he covered his face with a pillow and shouted. Looks familiar.

"Maybe we should talk outside." I said and he glared at me.

"I can't risk seeing Hoshi. Let's just talk here." He said and then I almost slap my face just to wake up from this nightmare.

"I'm not gonna say anything." I said.

"Yeah just listen to my rant and tell me what to do. I don't know." He said.

I didn't say anything and then he just laughed like a maniac.

"You must think I'm crazy." Woozi said and I nervously laughed because this is super awkward.

"Here it is... I kissed Hoshi! I know! Fucking crazy!" He exclaimed and I short circuited and didn't react.

"What does that mean?" I asked and then he looked at me like I was crazy.

"I was expecting a little more reaction than that but.." he said and then I realized that this was supposed to be a shocking news.

"No I'm so shocked that I can't even handle mu expressions. I can't believe I'm hearing this brand new information right now as you were telling me the story." I said and he looked at me like I was so weird but then he brushed it off thank God.

"You're weird. But so is your friend! How does he expect me to react if he confessed to me and then ran away just because I can't give him an answer right now." He said fuming.

"Don't you like him? You guys are perfect for each other." I said. And then he looked at me.

"You say that like you believe it." He said.

"Well one reason is because it's true I do believe it and also... Hoshi told me he likes you and I don't think it's a bad idea you guys date." I said and then I felt Hoshi pinching my feet as he was hiding probably doing it to make my mouth shut.

"Ow!" I said. Then Woozi looked at me weirdly.

"What's wrong?" He said.

"Nothing. Maybe an ant." I said and then he looked at me.

"Anyway as I was saying, just date my friend he's a catch. A little weird in the head but really genuine as I can say." I said and then Woozi looked at me.

"Why are you insisting on this right away? I just kissed him without any feelings for him. Shouldn't you feel bad for your friend?" He asked and I looked at him.

"I bet he liked it anyway." I said and earned another pinch in my feet because Hoshi was hurting me. I didn't flinch this time because I expected that.

"You're also weird in the head. Like that friend of yours. So what do I do now?" He asked me.

"I don't know. What do you wanna do?" I asked him back.  Then he sighed.

"Uhhh!!! I don't know!" He said.

"But you didn't hate the kiss?" I asked. I feel kinda guilty that Hoshi's literally listening below us and I'm asking Woozi these type of questions.

"No. Wait I don't know. Never speak of this but I have never kissed anyone!"  He said and I just looked at him.

"WHAT THE HELL? Really?!?" I asked in surprise.

"What?!? I don't go around kissing everyone I liked." He said and I looked at him again.

"So Hoshi's your first kiss?!?!  And it was a fight kiss?!?? Not really romantic." I said.

"Okey stop saying nonsense and help me. I stormed out without realizing it and left Hoshi alone and now I think he's the one avoiding me! Which is kinda good since I still cant face him like this! But still annoying as fuck" He rambled on and I just laughed.

"My friend's a simple guy. Just tell him you need space to think. He will definitely understand. Just don't dismiss the idea of you two dating because that's all he talks about when we are together." I joked and Hoshi kicked me this time. I just smiled through the pain and  Woozi looked at me.

"But he said he was sick of waiting." Woozi said sadly. Oh he's affected alright.

"He didn't mean that. I know he didn't because he has been waiting for you since the day  he started watching your plays and shows. He was just in the mood because of his hormones." I jokingly said and Woozi smiled.

"I hope he does. I really need him to understand. He's a great companion and a friend. Losing him would make me miserable." Woozi said sadly.

"Don't worry I'll help you tell him. Better yet? Just relax and wait for him to come to you. I just have a feeling that he already knows how you feel about all this so just relax.." I said as clue to Hoshi that he needed to take notes.

"Alright.. i'll be in my room incase he comes here. Please don't tell him what I said." He said and then went out the room. As soon as Woozi went outside Hoshi just stood up and looked at me.

"I'm gonna die." He suddenly said.

"What are you being overdramatic for? I just made your life easier. You're welcome by the way." I said.

"Yeah thank you for literally telling Woozi all my secrets." He said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

"Just fix what you broke and don't come crying to me anymore. I'm not your therapist. Please fix your relationship in peace and with him not me." I said to him as I pushed him outside the door. 

I went down to the kitchen and Then I saw Joshua talking with Dino. They were both curled inside one blanket and my brother was sleeping soundly.

"Thank you." I mouthed into him and he smiled and nodded. Still not talking to me but I think we are making progress.

Then I suddenly got a call.

"Hello?" I said since it was a new number.

"She's back." I heard Joshua from the other line said and then the line was cut. I looked at Joshi and my brother and shivers run through my spine.

"What's wrong?" Joshi asked me whispering.

"That was Joshua." Was all I said when Joshi's face went serious. What the hell do we do noe!
