Taehyung has accidentally slept to the next morning and awoke with a groan, feeling a bit disorientated but once he realized where he was, the little raven fell back into the sheets. Rubbing one fist over his drowsy eyes, the male stayed in bed for a few more minutes before reaching for his phone and getting up.

He shoved the earbuds into his ears before starting to stretch. Taehyung was also a huge Yoga enthusiast and enjoyed the daily stretch of his limbs, having gotten very flexible and he could even do a split which Taehyung was very proud of.

A good amount of twenty minutes later Taehyung has finished his morning session and got up from the ground to also reply to a few text messages of his parents and Hoseok who made sure he has come to the ship safely so he quickly replied to them before locking his phone again.

"What time is it...", Taehyung mumbled to himself before checking out of his room. The small clock on his phone showed him it was 10 am so the perfect time for breakfast. "Can't believe I slept for over twelve hours, vacation really has started huh", the translator chuckled to himself before making his way down to the dining hall.

Looking around in awe and passing by other passengers Taehyung arrived at the dining room, more like a hall and made his way to the buffet. He has been quite hungry after going to bed without dinner so he was starving and grateful to fill his stomach again.

But finding a free table has become a challenge for the little raven when he looked around frantically for a free place to sit down and eat his breakfast. He didn't find one, only a young looking man sitting on a table for four all alone.

So Taehyung took all of his courage together and walked to the man, hoping he was friendly enough and not send him away the same second. "Um, excuse me but would you mind if I sit here?", he asked the man shyly who lifted his head, silvery hair falling into hooded eyes when the man stared at him.

When a smile formed on his plump lips, Taehyung relaxed. "No not at all, please have a seat", the man friendly said and moved a bit to the side but Taehyung sat down on the second seat on the other side, not wanting to invade the man's private space. "Thanks a lot. I guess I've been sleeping too long to get a free table for myself", Taehyung spoke politely, not sure if the man was up for conversation or not.

He was. "Oh, you have to be lot more quicker I suppose. Some tourists here believe the buffet is running away if they don't stand up early enough", he said with a friendly smile which turned his eyes into crescents. "Families are always afraid their children don't get enough food until noon and will get whiny when coming to the pool", he commented before taking a bite of his scrambled eggs.

"Oh, there's also a pool on deck? How cool!", Taehyung exclaimed and also starting digging into his food, humming by the sweet taste of his mango fruit salad he has been dying to try out. The man chuckled softly. "Yup, you must be arriving from Jeju-do so you didn't see it already. There's also a small mall, it's amazing", he said and Taehyung looked up with large puppy eyes, startling the man who hasn't had a chance to look closer at the male.

Because his new seat neighbor was absolutely gorgeous.

Taehyung on the other side felt his lips go dry when he saw how handsome his seat neighbor was, offering him a timid smile before taking all his courage together. "I'm Kim Taehyung by the way", he sweetly introduced himself, vowels running off his tongue like honey and he messily stretched out his hands. The silver haired male chuckled before elegantly taking Taehyung's hand.

"Park Jimin. It's nice to meet you. Would you like a tour after breakfast or are you busy?", Jimin boldly asked the pretty black haired male who immediately shook his head. His heart was giddily pounding in his chest because he has already made a new friend, how exciting! "No not at all. I would love that, thank you so much, Jimin-ssi", Taehyung said gratefully.

Jimin waved him off with a wide smile. "It's my pleasure, the ship is quite big so I wouldn't want you to get lost", he shrugged it off but was secretly also grateful to find someone his age and not these elder ladies throwing themselves at him, trying to get a tour.

Taehyung was positive that this vacation was going to be super amazing.

°°°

The ship truly was big, having multiple decks, the pool area and mall Jimin has talked about were only two of the attractions and Taehyung wondered how it was possible for such a giant cruise ship to stay on the water surface. But his thoughts soon drove otherwise because there was so much more to see.

Jimin and he got along pretty well, finding out they were born the same year and that their cabins were on the same deck. Taehyung was giddy and couldn't wait to tell Hoseok about his new made friend because the silver haired man, who was also a dancer and Instagram model by the way, was exactly Hoseok's type.

The male started to feel the exotic vibes and started to feel cozy in the new environment, now spending most of his time together with Jimin who was happy for the company and they now would always eat together. Jimin was from Busan and had that hot accent while Taehyung's hometown was from Daegu and they tried teaching each other's dialect which was huge fun.

And just like that, the first week on sea has already passed without Taehyung's further notice.
