"Now this is what I'm talking about!" Tae was in his element. Today they were taking a "wine, whiskey, craft beer, cheese, and chocolate" tour. The whole day would be spent visiting several wineries and a distillery while taking in the views around Sydney wine country. They were on their way to their first stop. The tour company had provided them a guide, but special arrangements were made for the guards to navigate on their terms.

For the most part, they didn't expect too much commotion while they were out since this was more of a secluded activity. They grabbed a table outside on a terrace overlooking the vineyard. It was a beautiful day out and the guys were enjoying the break from their schedule. Ji-Hoon had brought one of his smaller cameras along and was filming periodically throughout the day.

Alex had been keeping her distance except around Ji-Hoon. She was very aware of any people around who may recognize them. She felt she was being a bit over the top about it, but she still wanted to be cautious so close to the article coming out. She looked over at Yoongi who was across the table from her. He was watching her and gave her a wink when she looked over. She winked back at him. That would have to be the extent of it for now until things calmed down.

RM was sipping on his beer when he suddenly set his glass down and stood up looking out into the vineyard. "You guys! It's a kangaroo!" Everyone looked over to where he was pointing. Sure enough, it was a small one, hopping around like no one was there. How odd to see something like that at a winery, at least it was from their perspective.

A little while later they left to head to the next winery. Yoongi walked up beside Alex, "I don't suppose you'll ride with me at all today?"

Alex looked around at all the people that were coming and going. "Not right now, maybe later if its not really crowded."

Yoongi sighed then got into one of the cars. As they left each winery, everyone was starting to feel the alcohol kick in. They figured they averaged about three glasses of wine at each stop so far. The last stop was the distillery, and Yoongi was ready to try some whiskey. They were sitting at their table with their samples displayed in front of them. Some of the guys weren't really feeling like whiskey so they started passing their glasses over to Yoongi.

"Hey now, I can't drink all of that by myself!" He looked at all of the glasses in front of him.

"Pass me some, I'll help." Alex reached her hand out for him to pass some of the glasses over to her. The alcohol had finally hit her and her inhibitions were starting to fly out the window. She counted the glasses in front of her and Yoongi, "That's eight for each of us. Think you can handle it?" She looked over at Yoongi with a challenging grin.

"You're on." They didn't shoot each of them down immediately, but sipped as was recommended, at first. After the fourth glass the whiskies were starting to lose their flavor. Alex was munching on cheese trying to put something in her stomach to soak up the alcohol.

"Bread. We need bread." Jungkook was looking pretty buzzed himself. He whispered over to one of the guards who got up and left the table. A couple of minutes later he came back with fresh bread and jams from local farmers. Everyone at the table thanked him for saving their stomachs.

The sun was getting lower in the sky, and a music act was setting up on the patio for live entertainment. As the music began, Alex started swaying back and forth in her chair with her eyes closed. She was officially drunk. She suddenly opened her eyes and got a stubborn look on her face.

"You know, this sucks." She crossed her arms over her chest as she looked around at the small handful of people who were still there.

Jimin grinned, "What's that?"

"I feel like we can't be ourselves and have fun the way we want to because we may attract attention. What if we want to dance? What if we want to sing with the music? Nope! Can't do that!" She had a disgusted look on her face before she downed another shot of whiskey.

Yoongi was silently laughing into his hand. Leave it to drunk Alex to finally say what's on her mind. After looking around to gauge the handful of people that were around them, he got up and went over to sit by her. He scooted his chair next to her and took her hand under the table. "Feel better?"

She gave him a small pout, "A little." The guys were trying to hide their laughs behind their hands. She was always the best entertainment for them when she was drinking.

A little while later it was finally time to head back to the hotel. Alex had polished off several more shots of whiskey until every drop was gone. Yoongi was impressed with how well she was keeping it together. She stood up from the table with a small wobble, then grabbed her purse. "To the cars gentlemen!" She even had the guards cracking up at that point.

They piled in, and Yoongi snuck in beside Alex. He figured in her current state she wouldn't argue too much. As they drove off she looked over and realized he was sitting by her. She leaned over and whispered loudly to him, "Hey! You're not supposed to be in here." She put her finger up to her lips and made a "shhh" sound.

Jimin was in the back seat trying to control his laughter. Hobi was next to him zoned out staring ahead. He definitely was feeling the buzz. Alex leaned forward in her seat and tapped the guard that was driving on his shoulder, "Do you think they have a McDonalds anywhere? I think we should find one. I'm starving." He pulled up his GPS and located one on their way to the hotel, he reset the destination.

She leaned back in her seat, "Ah, you're a good man." Yoongi was cracking up next to her. She was definitely in rare form tonight. She looked over at him and gave him a drunken smile. "You know? You're pretty cute."

"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself." He reached down to hold her hand.

After they had gone through the drive through, everyone was quiet in the car while they ate. They didn't realize how hungry they were till the food hit their stomachs. They finally arrived at the hotel and headed up to their rooms. Alex was starting to get sleepy on the elevator ride up. She leaned her head on Yoongi's shoulder. When the doors opened he peaked out to make sure no one was in the hallway, and took her to her room.

Once they were inside, Alex kicked her shoes off then threw her purse on the table. She started taking her shirt off and Yoongi froze. He let out a quick breath when he realized she had a tank top on under her shirt. She walked over to the bed and collapsed onto it. She didn't move. Yoongi walked over and leaned down by her face, "Lex? You still with me?"

She peaked one eye open at him, "Yep, still here." She rolled over and scooted up on the bed to get to her pillow. Yoongi took the blanket and covered her up then leaned down to give her a kiss on her forehead. Alex wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down onto the bed, "Don't go, just stay."

"Um," Yoongi was caught in her arms unable to move, "are you sure about that?"

She nodded her head with her eyes closed. "No funny stuff, just sleep next to me."

Yoongi was weighing his options. Maybe he would stay just till she fell sleep. "OK." He got into the bed next her and she rolled over to lay her head on his chest. She cuddled into him just like Holly did back home. It made him smile, remembering the night he had been laying in bed with Holly, wondering what it would be like to have Alex there instead. While he waited for her to fall asleep he ran his fingers through her hair. This is what he wanted for them, sweet and normal. That thought kept playing in his head as he drifted off to sleep.
