"Okay girls wakey wakey."

We were in a restaurant waiting for our breakfast. Manger-nim woke us up so early that I don't think he even slept. He must have been that excited after last night. The concert was packed. I couldn't believe that many people went to see us. It was amazing.

"I'm still sleepy~" Sunhee rubs her eyes as she places her head on the table.

"Ya. Sunhee lift your head people will see you and think we starve you." Doyeon was shaking Sunhee as she had already knocked out again.

"Okay so for today according to my agenda you are free to wander around. After last night's concert, I'm sure you girls would want your free time. Enjoy your day because we have more interviews coming up. And then off we go to our other destination."

"Yes sir."

"And don't forget to continue vlogging all your activities. The directors have already started editing your first episode."

Nodding we finally got our food served and Sunhee opened her eyes.

"Finally food!" She started stuffing her mouth and we couldn't help but laugh. She really looked like she was starving.

My phone started buzzing.

It was Hyun Joon.

"Um, I'll go take this call I'll be right back."

"Unnie if it's Yoongi just answer it here no shame."

"Oh, it's an old friend of mine. Don't worry."

I step away and notice the manager's stare. I guess nothing can really go past him.

"Hyun Joon? What's wrong?"

"Oh noona first we're sorry about not calling to see if you got home safe after the concert and second I have a surprise!"

"It's okay we fell asleep right when we got to the hotel. What's the surprise?"

"JYPP already has a professional gig for me! They were so excited and were proud of the photos I did for a previous photoshoot they think I have real talent! They said I got it from you."

"That's amazing Hyun Joon for what will the gig be for?"

"That's a surprise noona but I wanted to tell you before you saw them! Also I have something to tell you."

"Uh oh that doesn't sound too good."

"No noona it's nothing bad. Its about Bomin."

"What about Bomin."

"Bomin told me why he was acting off he said he felt like we were both born with raw talent and he feels like he has nothing."

I stayed silent. I guess I could see where he is coming from Bomin was handsome and intelligent but people barely realized when he stood beside Hyun Joon. He really does steal the spotlight. Even from me.

But there is one thing I know Bomin is good at that he hasn't told anyone else.

"It's okay I already came up with something you leave it to me. I'll let you know what I came up with later just be ready and tell Bomin to get ready his gear."

"His gear? What gear?"

"Just tell him!"

"Okay noona I'll talk to you later bye."

"Bye."

I walk back to the table and notice everyone's stares.

"What?"

"Unnie you have that mischieve smile as if you are planning something." Heejin pointed out resulting in everyone's outburst laughter.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Yuju wiped her tears as she continued laughing.

"Hey! It's just.."

"It's okay unnie no worries we were just talking about what we might do today before heading to the venue."

I sit back down looking out the window thinking how I can help Bomin.

The one thing he is really good at is swimming. He always went to the swimming club before Hyun Joon turned 8. I always had to take him since mom never really cared. I guess he really forgot all about it.

Who should I contact about the sport? I'm not an expert in the field. Surely none of the girls compete since they all are here instead of there.

"Unnie are you listening?" Sunhee was calling my name.

"Oh yeah sure," I said not really knowing what they were talking about.

" Great then it's settled that's where we are going!"

I look as they all stand up grabbing their things and heading to the car. Even the manager left us, probably to finally get away for a while.

"Unnie do you want to drive?" Heejin holds the car key handing it over to me.

"Yeah, sure!" I grab the keys and get inside the driver's seat.

"Wait. Where are we going?" I look at the girls who were already shaking their heads.

"Y/n I told you. We are going to my friend's swimming competition." Doyeon shook her head meaning that this was the conversation they were having in which I zoned out."

"What?"

"Yeah, my friend invited us to one of his competitions since we're here."

"Oh okay, input the address on the GPS and I'll drive us."

We started driving and I couldn't help but think.

Would this person be able to help Bomin?

"Xu!" Doyeon waves her hand excitedly as her friend, Xu, smiles back and waves towards us.

"What is he going to compete in Doyeon?" I look at her as we take our seat. Heejin and Sunhee were vlogging as Yuju was already looking for more food.

"Oh, Xu is competing in the backstroke. That's his specialty." She said not even glancing towards me but focused on him.

"You likeeee him~~" I teased her jokingly as she turns bashful and shoves my arm.

"It's not like that. We're just childhood friends."

She smiled softly. That look of love that I give to Yoongi. When you observe from afar but never too close.

"You guys would be cute."

"Huh?"

"As a couple. I ship you two."

We hear the announcement of his commencement and I turn to look at him. This really reminds me of when Bomin would compete. Even if he came in last place he never gave up until he gradually became better.

He would probably be swimming in competitive competitions too.

"Y/n?"

"Yeah?"

"You seem out of it today. You good?"

"Oh yeah. I'm good. I was just thinking."

The bang sounds and the swimmers are starting. Xu is swimming as fast as possible and on the first tap, he makes it second. On the way back I see him suddenly swift faster. He is reaching with all his might to that end until he finally touches it, becoming first.

"Did you see! He made it in first place!" Doyeon is jumping up and down beaming with excitement as she starts chanting his name.

The girls and I clap cheerfully as he turns towards us and waves smiling excitedly. We waited for him outside when the competition was over. When we saw him Doyeon didn't even wait a second before running towards him.

Jumping into his arms he spun her like she was the lightest feather. I looked at the girls and I can tell they were already laughing at how cute they look.

"Ahem."

He puts her down and bows towards us, "Hello my name is Xu Jiayu I've known Doyeonie for 13 years."

"Hi! My name is y/n. That is Yuju. Sunhee and Heejin. We are Dreamlike." We bow and smile.

"It's great to see you all! I went to your concert last night. Even though it was so late it was an amazing performance. You guys all shined so brightly."

"Thank you so much! We were completely entranced by your swimming it was amazing. Congratulations on first place!" Yuju smiled.

"Oh well thank you!" He rubbed the back of his head smiling shyly looking towards Doyeon, "I had to do my best with you all watching me."

"You mean Doyeon unnie." Heejin teasingly whispered to Sunhee who giggled to each other.

"Anyways!" I look at his equipment, "Xu how long have you been swimming?"

"As long as I can remember it's been my passion from very young. Doyeonie would even go to some of my meets to cheer me on."

"Hm...if you don't mind may I have your contact. I would like to ask you about something in a personal matter."

He tilts his head in confusion but doesn't hesitate to give me his card.

"I'm usually not available but if it's for Doyeonie's friend I'll always be." I smile bringing the card closer to me.

Don't worry Bomin your chance is coming.

"Well, I think it's about time we leave. Don't you think Doyeon?"

I look at Doyeon who is already entranced with Xu.

And she says she doesn't like him.

"Y/n why don't we all go out to celebrate Xu victory and go eat some kkbq?" Doyeon asks still looking at Xu.

"I mean," I think for a moment rubbing the back of my head if I say no Doyeon will be sad and if I say yes I won't be able to talk to Yoongi until later..." yeah sure if he's okay with it we can all go out and eat!"

I'll just text Yoongi later.

Or so I thought...who would've thought this is how we ended up. Heejin grabbing me from the arm and headed to the car. I didn't think for a moment where I was heading or what was awaiting me.

"Cheers!"

The clinking of glass sounded through my ears as I put bottoms up.

"Unnie I think you have had one too many." Sunhee and Heejin were trying to take the drinks away.

"No no no! One more right Doyeon!"

Doyeon cheered alongside me but I noticed that even Xu was trying to take the drink away from her.

Yuju was calmly drinking on the other side eating at the same time. She seemed the most controlled out of all of us.

"Unnie I'll call Yoongi-oppa if you take one more sip."

I look at Heejin who already had her phone out looking at my drink and then back at her I whispered which probably was more of a shout, "I dare you."

"Okay."

She put the phone to her ear and I took a sip of my drink. Heejin wouldn't she's a prankster she is all talk but doesn't do action.

"Oppa! I'm sorry to call you so late. I'm sorry to wake you up."

She was acting as if he was actually on the call, "Good jokes Heejin I won't fall for that. Doyeon more cheers!"

"YAY!" Doyeon stretched her hands out Xu grabbing the drink, "Doyeon you've had one too many, stop."

"Noooo Xu you always take care of me but you say we are friends...why can't we be more."

Xu didn't answer her but rather took the drink and smiled, "You really are silly. Of course, I would want to. But you won't remember anything in the morning so maybe just one won't hurt." He lifted her chin and kissed her forehead.

"Wow respect Xu!" I shouted and I saw him blush before smiling gulping down one glass himself.

"Unnie~ someone wants to speak with you." Heejin was smirking evilly.

"Heejin I know you didn't call him so ju-"

She put the phone in my ear and I heard his voice, "Y/nn" he was upset.

"Ah...well you see...um I had one drink. Then Doyeon and I shared one...and and"

"Y/n!! You shouldn't drink like that I'm not there to take care of you."

"I don't need any man to take care of me! I am perfectly capable of doing it myself."

"I love you."

"Whateverrr" My words slurred hanging the phone back to Heejin, "Let's go back manager-nim is probably worried about where we are."

"I'll drive!!" Doyeon held her hand up as Xu put it down, "Oh no you won't."

"I'll have my driver drive you all to the hotel. Bill is on me."

"Oh no don't worry I already paid everything." Yuju stood up and smiled placing my arm around her shoulder, "I think that was enough for today. Don't you think."

"Hehe maybe a little over the top."

"Just a bit. Can you walk?"

"Yep, I still have my two feet."

I was able to stand and walk into the car the last week in Ethiopia went by in a blur and off we were to our next location.
