They have all checked into their hotel rooms and agreed to meet at Hyeopjae Beach

Boys: *at the beach looking around to see if they find any of the girls*

Huri: remember to put on sun screen!

Zahara: already reminded everyone

Huri: oh yeah! Well, what are we waiting for?

Yari: the boys

Huri: oh yeah..*sighs* I'm going in the water!

Cai Lu: me too!

Curi: *run to the water*

Zahara: *laughs* you girls can go too

Yari: are you sure..?

Zahara: positive. I'll go in right after. I'm just going to make a quick phone call.

Yari: alright, come on Luma!

Luma: I'm going to buy myself a drink, go in. I'll go after. *smiles as she goes through her bag, looking for her wallet*

Yari: okay *runs to where Curi is*

Zahara: *grabs her phone, dials a number, person doesn't pick up, sighs* great..

Luma: relax Zahara. Put the phone down and enjoy the day.

Zahara: Luma but-

Luma: no buts.

Zahara: *sighs as she tries the call again, no answer* fine..

Luma: good. I found my wallet, now I'm going to buy myself a drink, do you want one?

Zahara: not right now, thank you though.

Luma: *nods as she walks away*

Zahara: *stands up whiling sighing*

Namjoon: is that Luma?

Jin: *squints his eyes* I think that is

Jimin: Luma!

Luma: *eyes slightly widen, looking around and spots the boys. Smiles* hey boys! We're over there *points to where their stuff is and where Zahara is*

Zahara: *is wearing

and The Flounce Cover-up in white from VS. She is currently taking off the cover up.*

Boys: *as they are walking over they notice Zahara and their eyes slightly widen*

Namjoon: wow...

Jimin: wow is right..

Luma: *buys her drink and is walking back over to the spot but sees the boys just standing halfway to the spot. Confused, looks toward the direction they are looking at* shut your mouth boys, I can practically see you drooling. *laughs a bit while sipping her drink as walks back over to Zahara* (A/N: she's not jealous if that's what you are thinking)

Zahara: *smiles at the sight of Luma* are you going in?

Luma: after I finish my drink

Zahara: *nods* I'm going in right now. *begins to walk towards the water but then stops and runs back to Luma* can we take photos?

Luma: get in the water.

Zahara: *smile fades away*

Luma: *smiles* we will take photos but not right now. Let's just enjoy it. Not everything has to be photos.

Zahara: *smiles* I know Luma but I always like to look back at good memories.

Luma: as so do I. Let's just enjoy for now though.

Zahara: *nods as she begins to walk back over to the water but only has her feet in as she looks for HariLu*

Boys: *walk over to Luma, putting their stuff down*

Kookie: *smiling* ahh what a lovely day

Tae: *looking at Zahara, takes off his shirt and flip flops. Beginning to walk over to her*

Zahara: *confused because she can't find the girls but then she finally does. As she's about to go into the water more, a pair of arms wrap around her waist. Her eyes widen, just as her reflexes kicked in, she turned her head quickly to see who it was. Sees that it's Taehyung and stops herself* you scared me..

Tae: *smiles* I can see that.

Zahara: *rolls her eyes at him* I could have hurt you

Tae: I wouldn't mind

Zahara: *turns around so she's facing him while his arms are still wrapped around her waist, smiling* let's go in the water

Boys: *running into the water*

Jimin: *splashes Taera* get in!

Zahara: *gasps still smiling though, kicks some water and it splashes onto Jimin's face, laughing* oh I will! *goes deeper into the water, stops and turns around* c'mon Taehyung!

Tae: *smiles as he joins everyone else*

an hour later

All: *out of the water, just chilling out having a group conversation, smiling, laughing*

Zahara: *this is what I have been missing. Just chilling out, with the ones I'm close with. They aren't friends. They aren't just labelmates. They are my family. Not Korean family, just family. Speaking of family..I miss my people from New York..I miss New York. I'm happy I'm going back, but I'm not at the same time...looking around, seeing how everyone is smiling, laughing, having a good time, this is cozy. This is where I think I belong...yet, something's not right. I'm sure it's not them but it's me..what a shocker.*

Zahara: *stands up (A/N: btw she is wearing her cover-up)* I'm going to get some water..*grabs her wallet + phone and walks away*

Yoongi: *something's up..but I'm not sure if I should go with her or not..*

Tae: *stands up and follows her*

Yoongi: *Ah, Taehyung's got it. I'm lazy anyway. I'll talk to her when we get back*

Tae: *catches up to Zahara and grabs her arm*

Zahara: *knows it's Taehyung so she doesn't do anything, she does stop walking though*

Tae: do you want to talk?

Zahara: *looks down and shakes her head*

Tae: *steps in front of her, lifting up her chin with his finger* look at me in the eyes

Zahara: *doesn't obey*

Tae: look at me in the eyes.

Zahara: *looks him in the eyes*

Tae: I shouldn't have to remind you this, Zahara. I am always here for you. I'm here to listen to whatever you have to say. If you have a problem, talk to me and I'll try helping you out as much as I can.

Zahara: *nods as she looks down* I know you are, Taehyung. And I know that you know that it's the same for me to you, but there are certain things that are better left unsaid and there are certain things we are unsure of.

Tae: I know that but you know what? I want to tell you those things. I know you trust Jackson and Hansol with everything. Why can't I just be like them?

Zahara: Taehyung..

Tae: no Zahara. Don't Taehyung me. *sighs* forget it *walks back to everyone else*

Zahara: *Jackson and Hansol are different...I can talk to them about things like how I feel about you..I can't talk to you about things like that. I can talk to them about things about a lot of things that would probably change the way you think of me negatively. I don't want to lose you, Taehyung. But I can see, either way, I'll end up losing you..*

Zahara: *tearing up, she doesn't buy water and just walks her way to the resort/hotel they are staying at. Texts in the group chat she has with the girls letting them know she's going back to the hotel and for them not to worry that she's needs some time alone*

Yoongi: where's Zahara?

Tae: getting herself water

Kookie: *looks over* no she's not

Tae: then I don't fucking know

All: *look at him confused*

Huri: *looks at her phone, shows the rest of the girls, she stands up along with the rest of the girls* we should all go meet up at a restaurant maybe?

Boys: *look at them as the girls leave*

Yoongi: what happened?

Tae: nothing

Yoongi: Taehyung, what the fuck happened?

Tae: *sighs as he looks down* I shouldn't have done that..I think I ruined it...*looks down, has his face in his hands*

Namjoon: *rubbing circles on his back*

Yoongi: *still has a blank expression on his face but he feels bad for Taehyung just like he does for Zahara*

30 minutes later

Huri: where is Zahara though?

Cai Lu: she's nowhere to be found around this resort.

Yari: we've searched everywhere in this resort.

Luma: she doesn't even pick up her phone. Doesn't answer her text messages.

Girls: *sigh as they are worried about Zahara, they are waiting for the boys in the lobby*

Boys: *walking towards them*

Namjoon: where's Zahara..?

Huri: we can't find her..

Hoseok: what..?

Cai Lu: we can't find her!

Yari: we've searched inside and outside of this place.

Huri: she's nowhere to be found

Luma: she doesn't answer her text messages and her phone goes straight to voicemail.

Girls: we have no idea where she is.

Tae: *feeling terrible* it's my fault..and I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt her-

Huri: Taehyung, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

Tae: if I didn't-

Huri: Taehyung. Really. It's okay. She's going to come back eventually.

Zahara: *her phone isn't off, she's getting all the text messages, declining all phone calls, she's thinking. Just thinking. She did shower and got dressed quickly before leaving the resort. She is currently just walking around, just thinking. Everything around her seems to be going in slow motion, blurring out. So much is on her mind, not just Taehyung*

Cai Lu: let's just go eat..

Girls: *stand up from sitting at the chairs that were in the lobby*

All: *exit and enter the two taxi vans waiting for them. Car ride in both cars were quiet*

30 minutes later

Zahara: *finally checks her phone to read the messages between the girls and she reads what restaurant they are all at. Calls a taxi over and goes to the restaurant. After paying the taxi driver, she just stands in front of the restaurant, contemplating whether she should go in or not. Looking through the glass from across the street, she can see them in the far back, they are having a conversation, all except for Taehyung. He's silent, and has an unreadable expression on his face. Feeling guilty, she decides not to go in and turns around beginning to walk away*

Yoongi: *notices Zahara, quickly stands up without a word, running out of the restaurant, chasing after Zahara, grabbing her arm and turning her around to reveal her puffy red face and eyes. Examines her a bit then just pulls her into his embrace*

Zahara: *trying not to cry again and hugs back*

Yoongi: you made us all worry..

Zahara: I'm sorry..

Yoongi: it's okay Zahara..please come in though. You need to eat.

Zahara: I don't want to eat..

Yoongi: fine but come in

Zahara: *shakes her head* I can't.

Yoongi: fine. If this is how you are going to be, let's go back to your hotel room. Let's talk.

Zahara: no-

Yoongi: don't. *texts Namjoon letting him knowing and to tell everyone else*

Namjoon: *reads the text* uhm..Yoongi isn't going to be joining us. He's going back to the hotel with Zahara.

Cai Lu: is she okay?

Namjoon: I don't know..

Cai Lu: *sighs as she looks down*

Luma: hey..Zahara is fine. She's the strongest person we know, remember that.

Cai Lu: *nods slightly*

Tae: *what have I done..?*

an hour and a half later

All except Zahara: *at the hot tub*

Tae: *is there but isn't in the hot tub, he's sitting down, thinking*

Yoongi: *sits in front of him* stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault, alright?

Tae: but it is-

Yoongi: no it's not. She told me what happened and she explained to me things that are going on. She said herself that it isn't your fault. You weren't the reason for her crying, just things that she has been thinking of lately from things that have been going on. You didn't mess anything up. Go speak to her. She's in her room.

Tae: how do you know..?

Yoongi: because I made her promise me she wouldn't leave the room if she wasn't going to join us. Zahara always keeps her word.

Tae: I know..but I don't think she wants to speak to me.

Yoongi: aish Taehyung-ah! Just go.

Tae: *nods and leaves to Zahara's hotel room. Knocks on her door*

Zahara: *is out on the balcony but has the door to go out to the balcony open*

Tae: *knocks again*

Zahara: *blinks and walks back in, opens the door seeing it's Taehyung*

Tae: can I walk in..?

Zahara: *lets him in, shuts the door and walks back out to the balcony*

Tae: *follows her and stands next to her* are you mad at me?

Zahara: *takes a deep breathe in* no.

Tae: are you sure?

Zahara: yes. I'm not mad at you but I'm mad at myself.

Tae: why?

Zahara: *doesn't answer but then explains to him things that have been happening lately except for anything that involves him*

30 minutes later

Cai Lu: *walking into the hotel room since she's sharing with Zahara and sees Taera sleeping. Zahara has her head on Taehyung's chest with her arm wrapped around his waist. Taehyung has his arm wrapped Zahara, causing her to be even closer to him and their legs are intertwined. Smiling, she grabs Zahara's phone, takes a picture of them then sends it to Taehyung saying "You're welcome - Lulu" then leaves the room and goes to Harima's room. They got a hotel room that has two beds in it so they all shared the room* Taehyung and Zahara are both asleep.

Luma: what? But it's not even night yet.

Cai Lu: then they are taking a nap either way, they aren't awake-ah damn, I should have sent the picture to myself to show you girls. *smiles* they are so cute together.

Girls: *smiling*

Huri: we'll give them an hour and if they aren't awake, we are waking them up.

Yari: yeah because there's other things we've got to do before we go to bed and leave in the morning..

Cai Lu: yeah one hour is good. *holds the home button on her phone to make Siri pop up* Siri, set timer for an hour.

Siri: Your timer is set for one hour.

Luma: let's take a nap ourselves

Huri: good idea!

Girls: *Hari on one bed, Caima in the other. They all take naps*

an hour later

Cai Lu: *timer goes off but doesn't budge*

Huri: *groans as she stretches with her eyes shut, accidentally hitting Yari's face*

Yari: *groans and pushes Huri's hand away. Rubs her eyes*

Luma: *eyes still shut* Lulu, turn it off....Lulu? *sighs* Cai Lu!

Cai Lu: *groans* what..?

Luma: turn off the damn alarm

Cai Lu: *opens her eyes* oh yeah! *quickly turns it off* time to go check on them! Get up now!!

Zahara: *wakes up, looks up to see Taehyung still sleeping and how adorable he looks while doing so. Admiring him then realizes how creepy she is being and how embarrassing it would be if he woke up. Tries to take his arm off her so can get up but it only tightens it more making him turn to the side, wrapping his other arm around her*

Tae: *has his eyes shut, yawns but only a tiny yawn, licks his lips then shuts his mouth* where do you think you're going?

Zahara: *smiles as she curls up to him* well we should go enjoy this day

Tae: I am enjoying it-wait *his eyes open and looks at her* you're not enjoying it?

Zahara: ani! I am enjoying it but we should enjoy it along with the others. This day was meant for all of us to hang out together.

Tae: *sighs* I know but..I want to just stay like this..*kisses her forehead*

Zahara: I know..but *looks at him then at his lips then back at his eyes* but..but..*sighs, looks down and hides her face into his neck*

Tae: *chuckles at how cute she is* kiss me

Zahara: *eyes slightly widen as she lifts her head up again, looking at him* what..?

Tae: *leaning in to kiss her*

Cai Lu: *enters the room with the girls following* GUYS GET UP! IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH-oh. You guys are up..*smiles a bit awkwardly realizing what she has done* uhm..well, uh. Get your bums out of bed and let's go explore. Meet us in the lobby. The boys are down there waiting already.

Zahara: *smiles knowing that Lulu realizes what she has done, rolls out of bed and is sitting on the ground now* my legs don't feel like it *laughs a bit*

Cai Lu: get up *laughing*

Girls: *leave Taera and walk down to the lobby*

Tae: *smiles as he looks at Zahara*

Zahara: I'm tempted to lay on the floor..*looking at the space next to her*

Tae: no don't do that! *chuckles* want help?

Zahara: *looks at him and smiles*

Tae: *gets up, walks over to her and helps her up*

Zahara: do you mind cracking my back? *lifts her arms up so now her body is in a T shape*

Tae: *shakes his head as he does so*

Zahara: awh my boobs..but at least my back feels better

Tae: *hugs her tightly*

Zahara: what..? Aw..okay *smiling, wraps her arms around his neck, letting her head head lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, shuts her eyes*

Tae: *I love this. This moment right here, so beautiful. I don't want to let go but I know I will have to because we've got to meet up with everyone else. I don't want to lose her, she's precious to me.*

Zahara: Taehyungie..we should go.

Tae: *sighs* I know..*loosens his grip*

Zahara: *pulls away slightly, kisses his cheek then grabs her sunglasses, the key card and her phone. She takes some money from her wallet and puts it in the front pocket of the shorts she is wearing. Puts on her sunglasses* ready?

Tae: yeah I have everything I need *smiles as he puts on his own sunglasses*

Zahara: *smiles back* let's go!

Taera: *walk out and down to the lobby. Walk over to everyone else*

Kookie: ya! Finally. Now let's gooooo

All: *exit the resort and into the taxis waiting for them*

Few hours later

All: *walking around, window shopping, having conversations between each other*

Taera: *a little behind everyone*

Tae: when are you leaving back to America..?

Zahara: tomorrow in the morning..*looks at him*

Tae: for how long?

Zahara: well I'm saying 2 weeks but it may be longer, I have no idea.

Tae: you're having your birthday over there?

Zahara: *nods* aren't you guys coming? Six Flags Magic Mountain is rented for my birthday this year.

Tae: I would love to go, so would be boys, I'm not sure we'll be able to make it..

Zahara: Oh..well, that's okay. *slightly smiles* we can always hang out when I come back and before our comeback.

Yari: Zahara! Come here, let's take a photo!

Zahara: *looks at Yari then at Taehyung* I'll be right back *walks over to Yari and the rest of the girls, taking off her sunglasses*

Tae: *walks in between Namjoon and Yoongi* she has no idea..

Namjoon: really?

Tae: *nods* I could tell she was a bit upset, made me feel guilty.

Yoongi: well at least we are lying to her for a good cause *slightly smiles*

All: *continue to walk*

Zahara: *smiling while looking around then she slows down as she just keeps staring at this one person. Her smile fades away as stops. She blinks a few times but doesn't bother looking at the person again, turns around to begin walking the opposite direction and hits into Jimin*

Jimin: *eyes slightly widen then go back to normal, looks at Zahara* is everything alright?

Zahara: *eyes are slightly widen, she looks scared, you can see fear in her eyes, her mouth is opened a bit but no words come out of her mouth*

Jimin: Zahara. *places hands on her shoulders, looks at her in the eyes* Zahara, what's wrong?

Zahara: I-I think I saw someone I know..*hugs him, burying her face in his chest, she's tearing up but not letting the tears drop*

Jimin: *hugs back, rubbing circles on her back*

Huri: *smiling as she looks back and her smile fades away when she sees Zahmin, stops walking, grabbing a hold of Luma's wrist causing Luma to stop walking and stare*

All: *stop and stare at Zahmin*

Kookie: *walks over to them* what's going on? What happened?

Cai Lu: take her into the cafe, now.

Jimin: *listens to Cai Lu does as told*

All: *following Zahmin*

Jimin: *sits down at a table and sits Zahara down*

Zahara: *her hands are shaking slightly and she's having a slight problem breathing*

Tae: *sits down next to Jimin, looking at Zahara* Zahara, tell me, what's wrong?

Girls: *surround Zahara*

All: *worried*

Yari: *sitting next to Zahara, rubbing circles on her back*

Zahara: *looks at the girls* I think I saw him..

Huri: saw who?

Zahara: I think I saw Brian..

Girls: *eyes slightly widen*

Luma: what would he be doing here? How would he know we were here?

Zahara: *shakes her head* I-I-I don't know

Namjoon: who's Brian?

Zahara: *looks at the boys* my father..

Jin: your father?

Zahara: *nods*

Boys: *look at the girls except for Zahara hoping for an explanation*

Cai Lu: Zahara and her father are not on good terms. Never have been. I would explain what I mean but this is a bit too public for something so personal.

Yari: I think you should call your mom to make sure Zahara..

Zahara: but-

Huri: do it, Zahara.

Zahara: *nods as she dials her mom's number and calls* hey mom...u-uhm where's my father? Mom, stop changing the subject. Mom..please..where is Brian? Are you sure..?.....I think I saw him though..please tell me you aren't lying just to cover his ass. Mom you know how I feel-*sighs as she pinches the bridge of her nose* wait, what? Mom..I'm in a cafe right now, tell me when I get back to New York. Yes, I will come visit you. Yes, yes, bye mom. *hangs up, looking down* so she kept trying to change the subject and she said that Brian is away for business in California...I asked if she was sure, she said yes. But..I could tell she was lying. *looks up*

Luma: alright, that's it. We can't leave Zahara alone.

Zahara: but-

Luma: no buts Zahara, I know you know him best than all of us but from what you told us, we cannot risk you alone with him, you understand why though, right? This is serious, just like how we can't leave Cai Lu alone because of her ex.

Cai Lu: we know that you can take care of yourself but Zahara you don't know now what that man is capable of.

Zahara: *nods as she looks down* my mom also told me that she has something important to tell me, that it's about time I should know...

Girls: *hugs Zahara*

Zahara: alright, I understand you all are worried so I'm fine with the fact I can't be left alone. Please, I know it'll be hard but let's just ignore the fact that this happened and just enjoy the few more hours we have here?

Namjoon: if that's what you want, it's what you'll get *smiles trying to make her feel better*

Zahara: *slightly smiles and stands up, putting on her sunglasses once again*

All: *walk out of the cafe and continue walking around*

Zahara: *everyone is surrounding her*

*What the fuck is Brian doing here? How did he even fucking know where I would be? What does my mom have to tell me? Why is she lying to me about where Brian is? Why why why. Just pisses me off. I fucking hate him. He's fucking revolting! I'm pissed but I'm scared too. I don't know what to do. I don't feel like going back to America alone now. I want to bring someone along. I mean, sure I'll be meeting up with other people wherever I'm staying but I won't be having someone there with me all day. But who?*

Tae: *whispers to Jimin* did you see this man's face?

Jimin: *whispers back* no. There were too many people, I couldn't tell.

Tae: *under his breath* shit.. *walking side by side with Zahara, looks her and can't figure out what emotion she is feeling. She's gotten even better at hiding her emotions. One thing's for sure, he can tell she is thinking but not of what.*

Zahara: *takes out her phone, opens up notes, writing to Taehyung then handing it to him* "I do not know how my father found out where I am but if he found that out, what if he also knows about my flight for New York tomorrow? What if he has a flight as well, the same one as mine?"

Tae: *clicks return 2x then types, handing it back to her* "Hobeom hyung must know about this"

Zahara: *sighs as she reads it* I know but..*looks down* I'm not sure.

Tae: Huri.

Huri: hm? *stops and turns around*

Tae: call Hobeom hyung. Let him know what's going on. After you let him know, may I speak to him?

Huri: of course. *pulls out her phone and makes the phone call*

A few more hours later
It's sunset, they are all on the beach once again. They aren't dressed to go into the water though. Just to hang out, watch the sunset.

Zahara: *has her feet in the water, she is just staring out at the sun as it meets the ocean*

*nothing make sense..nothing makes any sense once again. Why is he here? He just loves to ruin everything for me. I know having hatred for a person like I do for him isn't right but, I can't help it.*

Zahara: *sighs as she shuts her eyes, takes a deep breath, letting the light cool breeze hit her, breathing in the fresh air, trying to relax*

Luma: guys..I'm worried about Zahara.

All (except Zahara obviously): *take a quick glimpse of Zahara then turn back to each other*

Namjoon: I am too..

Yoongi: we all are.

Tae: what did her father do?

Girls: *look at each other*

Yari: *looks at Taehyung* we don't have the right to tell you that. Zahara should be the one to tell you.

Tae: *turns back around and watches Zahara, feeling pity*

Cai Lu: Taehyung, go talk to her

Tae: *turns back around and looks at Lulu* m-me?

Girls: *nod*

Tae: *looks back at Zahara, nods and stands up walking over to her*
