Epilogue

Satisfied, Minho lay on the beach and watched as Chan and Jisung tried to throw Changbin into the sea.

He desperately clung to the two and protested loudly, even if he actually had nothing against being thrown into the water.

They had landed in Sydney the night before and hadn't yet been able to get used to the temperature difference.

Minho was still too cold to be in the water all the time and besides, at some point he had had enough of the fact that the others had always watched him carefully.

Sighing, he had decided to learn to swim in order to finally be able to exit this stigma. Or just so that the others left him alone.

At that moment, a dripping Jisung came and threw himself up at Minho in a good mood.

"When I get my hands on you," Changbin shouted and chased Chan, who ran away from him laughing.

Smiling, Minho covered Jisung with a towel and kissed him gently.

"Are you happy, baby?" he asked quietly.

"Incredibly happy! I'm glad Chan fixed this."

It had been quite an act to convince their management that they needed two weeks of vacation, even though they had just returned from their hiatus.

But Chan had finally prevailed.

And although they had received a few editions, such as that each of them had to record at least one vlog and they, if it happened, would work on new songs, they had been allowed to fly away.

Jisung and Minho hadn't been quite sure that all this had gone legally, but Chan asserted that he was just good at convincing.

Chan and Changbin had thought for a long time whether they should come along at all, since they weren't yet married and it was Minhos and Jisung's honeymoon, but after both had expressly wished for it, Chan and Changbin had finally agreed to come along.

And so it happened that they had unexpectedly were together on vacation again.

Chan's mother had played the guide again and arranged everything so that the boys didn't have to take care of anything themselves.
Her wedding gift to Minho and Jisung.

Smiling, the two watched as Chan and Changbin chased each other across the beach.

Yawning, Jisung snuggled a little closer to Minho and closed his eyes. He hadn't slept that well the first night in the foreign bed and was still relatively tired.

"Maybe we should go back to the apartment, if you fall asleep here now you will definitely get a sunburn," Minho said worried.

"Good idea!" Chan said with a grin and dropped on the towel next to them.

A little out of breath, Changbin also arrived at them and stopped with his hands trimmed in the sides.

"Good idea, then we can get ready for dinner right away!" he said and smiled satisfied.

"We just had lunch," Jisung said with a frown.

"It's been more than three hours and I only have just under two weeks to try all the fantastic food that's available here!" said Changbin and looked at Jisung accusingly.

"All right," said Jisung, shrugged his shoulders and jumped up.

Sighing, Minho followed his example and shook out the towel while Chan and Jisung packed their things.

Finally, they strolled back to their holiday apartment together.

"And what do you like better, mountains or sea?" Chan asked curiously.

"Definitely the mountains!" said Minho and was still trying to get rid of the sand of his clothes.

"Hmm difficult... I think I like both," said Jisung.

"Sea! Definitely the sea!" Changbin said grinning and knew that Chan was exactly the same way.

"But actually it doesn't matter where we are. I think it's incredibly nice to go on vacation with you and get to know new countries. But it's also nice to cuddle in our apartment together in bed," said Jisung and noticed how the others smiled lovingly at him.

He bit his lower lip, but still had to grin.

"Naaw, my romantic baby," Minho said lovingly and grabbed Jisung's hand.

It took them quite a while to finally arrive at the apartment, although the way was actually not far. But they enjoyed having time. Not having to rush to get to the next appointment on time. They enjoyed the beautiful nature and that they weren't recognized by anyone every five minutes.

"Do you think you can make it through the evening, or do we want to stay here?" Minho asked quietly when they finally stood in the apartment.

"Hmm, I think I'll get through the evening. Binnie is right. We won't be able to go on vacation that often in the near future and we should enjoy every second of it. But I would like to take a shower beforehand."

"May I come with you?" Minho asked and grinned mischievously.

"Mhm, you may," said Jisung, smiling contentedly.
