Fortunately, my mom hadn't talked about the supermarket incident since we returned home. I hoped that she never would.

I lived with my parents and my younger sister. Our parents rarely took us to any trips. Its not that we were not able to afford it. The reason was that our parents were against the idea of spending time or more like 'wasting time' on going to silly places. They thought that sending us to one of those summer quiz competitions was more productive than taking us to trips.

My sister, Minji, was just 13 years old. Unlike me she was not so good with her studies and her grades were not that good as well. So she was always compared to me with whatever she did. I did pity her, but I couldn't support her. In spite of all the discrimination she faced from our parents, she was such a sweetheart who treated me so well.

It was dinner time. So me, my parents and Minji were at the dining table having dinner. We were having a quiet dinner. But it was too early of me to be judging in the presence of a lady with a bad mouth sitting across me. Well as always, my mom couldn't hold her tongue.

"Dear, you had to see the girl whom we met at the mart. She claimed to be our y/n's classmate. She said her name was Chaeyoung." Okay here she goes on with the criticism. And ready, set, go!

"Children like her have no goals in life. They are only searching for easy ways to earn a living. I wonder how sad her parents might have been after knowing her results. " she started babbling to my father who was focused on eating his supper.

"Well it's all good if y/n doesn't get involved with those kind of kids" he said looking at me with an expressionless face. Seriously, what does he mean by 'those kind of kids'? I wanted to stop them, but I held my peace as to not start a quarrel with my parents.

Although not to my surprise it didn't stop there. "She must be such a disgrace to her parents. At least our daughter isn't friends with her" my mom extended the conversation. My dad hummed as a response as in agreeing to her.

"Will you please stop that?" I raised my voice. This was my first time getting mad at my parents and arguing with them, but they had to stop. All the three of the people by the table looked at me as though I had announced to them that I was pregnant.

"Mom stop with the criticism! Not everybody's parents want their children to be doctors. She might have her own dreams! Stop criticizing her. At least she is gonna have fun with her friends. Look at me, I can't even enjoy my vacation" I stated with frustration, hoping they would understand what I was trying to say.

"So you want to enjoy your summer vacations?", as I thought that my mother finally understood what I was trying explain, her words slapped me right across my face as she said "You can go to that summer camp. Now what was it?... yeah, the matheletes, if you want to".

Wow. I mentally face palmed myself. "Omma....." I whined at her utterly stupid suggestion. "What?" she said without even a single clue. "Nothing just forget it !" I said with a frustrated tone. I got up saying that I was full although I hadn't even finished even half of my dinner and went to my room.

I was raging with anger. I never asked anything from them until now. But it didn't mean I didn't want anything. I wanted to feel free, I wanted to have fun like how youngsters of my age were having. And my parents thought I wanted to join a stupid study session under the name of a summer camp.

I took the brochure that I had brought back with me in my hand. I was sure that I would never get this chance again. So I went to the web site on my laptop and booked a ticket for myself for the trip that was mentioned on the brochure.

As for the money I had saved quite a bit, which I had received from my relatives for Christmas and New year's, from a long time.

**********

The train from Busan to Mokpo was to departure at 5 am sharp. So, I got up at 3 am in the morning, washed up, got dressed and packed up all necessities for the trip. I wore a simple hoodie and sweatpants.

I left a note to my mom saying that I was going on a trip, but didn't mention where. I had also made sure to write that I would return in 3 days. I knew she would freak out, but I wanted to be selfish just this once.

I took the bus to the station. I had reached the station at 4 am sharp. I was struggling with my bag and was trying to find my seat in the train. After searching for a good 10 minutes, I finally found my seat.

Suddenly I felt someone tower over me from my back. I turned to find Taehyung looking at me as though he was trying to remember who I was. It took all of my energy hide how flustered I was although the light blush of red on my cheeks were not helping at all.

"We met at Lisa's party last week right?". His question tempted me to kick his groin, but I still controlled my anger and shook my head for a no. "Oh right you are Sana's cousin then" he said with a smirk as though he had won some war.

Wah, this guy was testing my patience. "No, we studied in the same school, senior year same class, Lee y/n" I said with a hard tone to convey to him that I was not at all interested in him. His eyes lit up as he said, "Oh nerd y/n" but instantly regretted it. At last the guy finally got to know who I am, I internally fake cried.

"So, wassup?" he said as plopped on the seat opposite to mine. "Nothing much. Anyway can you help me with my bags?" I asked him. "Not your slave missy, ask me politely" he said. Okay, now he was driving me crazy. Even so I kept my cool.

"Taehyung, will you please help me with my luggage?" I asked politely with a smile trying to hide how annoyed I was with this guy.

He smirked and got up. He lifted my bag up as though it was weightless and came close to me. He was so close that even though I had leaned back a bit, I could feel his breath on my face. My eyes were so wide open that they would fall of their sockets any moment. Again with closeness. Did this guy know anything about 'personal space'?.

I wanted to push him away and tell him that him so close to me was not so comfortable. To my surprise I didn't do anything. More like I didn't want to do anything. A small grin decorated his face as he looked deep into my eyes and said, "call me V" and winked.

Unable to process what was happening due to the awkward closeness between us, I just nodded as a yes. After which he placed my bag in the compartment above my head and sat down on the previous seat again.

"Aren't you gonna get back to your seat?" I asked him. "This is my seat" he answered with a smirk on his face. "Okay" I said acting not at all bothered by the fact that this annoying guy was going to be seated before me for the whole ride to Mokpo.

After 30 minutes Chaeyoung arrived with Jimin. She was surprised as she looked at me. "y/n? I didn't know even you had booked for the trip. What a surprise!" she squealed with excitement. Okay, now I was confused as hell. Why was she acting so nice to me? "Don't worry we'll have lots of fun together" she said to me a smile.

"Hey! My names Jimin. You might have heard about me" Jimin said, coming from behind Chaeyoung as extended his hand for a handshake. "Of course genius she was in the same class as ours" Chaeyoung said as she smacked him on the back of his neck.

V was looking at the three of us with an expressionless face. He was not at all surprised that Chaeyoung knew me.

The train started as we had all sat in our respected seats. As for V, the dude stared at me with a grin on his face from when the train had started. I really wanted to avoid the uncomfortable feeling he was giving me.

"Chaeyoung-ah I'm starving. Haven't you brought anything to eat" Jimin started whining. Which reminded me that I had bought some sandwiches on my way for my breakfast. In just a blink of an eye, Chaeyoung took out two sandwiches and gave it to V and Jimin.

After realizing that she had only one sandwich left, she asked me if I was okay with her sharing the sandwich with me. I felt really welcomed by her kind gesture but, rejected her offer politely since I had brought my breakfast with me. She was relieved that I had something to eat too.

We all had our sandwiches and started talking about random topics. Apparently I got to know that jimin-shii~ and V-shii~ we're both playboys. For the matter of fact, they always did flirt with girls in school. So it was not much of a surprise to me.

But still these two were among the top ten students on our school notice board. That did surprise me as I had barely seen them attending any of the classes.

We arrived at Mokpo after two and a half hours. As we came out of the station, we were greeted by a tour guide who led us to the ferry to Jeju island.

As we got on the ferry we heard someone scream. A girl around our age was going to fall off from the ferry. Without a second thought, V went to her and helped her onto the ferry, as he held her by her waist.

He then gave her a humble smile which made her turn all red and then after she had thanked him enough he returned back with us as we went inside the ferry. I placed my bag with all the other bags, where all the luggage was kept and went to the top of the ferry towards the railing.

I took off my glasses as the wind was very strong. I didn't want my spectacles all messy due to moist wind. It was kind of exciting. I felt happy yet scared. For the first time I loved where I was and what I was doing.

I didn't realise that we had already reached the island. Finally!!! I screamed inside my head. I was smiling like an idiot.

Yes, I was in Jeju. Yes, I was here on my own. And yes, I was not here for a study session.

I was lost in my own world until I felt someone tugging on my hoodie. I turned around to find Chaeyoung and Jimin looking at me with concern in their eyes. I mentally slapped myself.

Good going Y/n. You gave them an impression that you are not only a freaking nerd but also a fucking retard. What a great start of knowing each other? right!

It was already 7 pm. The tour guide led us to the hotel we were going to stay in. Damn, the place was good. Well I was glad I spent my precious savings for a good cause.

I was partly happy yet kind of disappointed that V had not bothered me from the time we had laid out feet on the island. Wah wtf is wrong with me. Guess I have to stay away from that alien. Surprisingly he was no where to be found and yet I never saw Chaeyoung and Jimin worried.

I wanted ask them but, restrained myself from doing so, as I knew that the jerk would bother me every time we meet in the future, if he knew I had asked for his where abouts.

Three of us headed to the receptionist to get the room keys. All the rooms were two sharing. So, we decided that Chaeyoung and I will be sharing one room while the boys will take another room.

We went our respected rooms. As we entered the room, we were welcomed by the sweet lavender smell of scented candles. The room was well organised. It had a balcony which had the view of the island and the sea shore. The night view was beautiful

"Y/n-ah I am going to Jimin. I think one of my bags is with him. I'll be back after a few minutes. Is it okay ?" I snapped my head towards Chaeyoung and nodded to her with a smile as in agreement.

It was already an hour since Chaeyoung left the room. I waited long enough and thought that it was better if I showered before we go to dinner. So I went in the bathroom.

As water flowed down my body, I felt all my tiredness wash away. I was done with my shower and realized that I had not brought my clothes with me. I cursed under my breath as I wrapped a towel around my naked body and slowly went out of the bathroom.

Chaeyoung was not yet back. I made my way to my luggage and searched for my inner garments. I was holding my bra and panties, but suddenly the door behind me opened. I thought it was Chaeyoung but, I realized I was wrong as turned towards the door.

The door was ajar and a figure stood there in shock. I saw the face of the intruder and my face was fifty shades of red now. Because the person in front of me was none other than KIM FUCKING TAEHYUNG!!!!!!
