On the plane, all I could think of was the dreamy beaches of Miami, the cool tropical drinks, and the vibrant night-life that South Beach offered.  We arrived in Miami exhausted but excited. Once in the cab, we chatted about getting a huge frozen margarita to start our vacation in this super hot climate. 

We saw the beautiful sites of Miami from the car with all the hustle and traffic of a big city. The city is modern with many tall buildings and a few older iconic buildings like the Freedom Tower. A picturesque concrete jungle at the edge of a teal blue bay. Finally crossing the bay from downtown Miami to Miami Beach via the MacArthur Causeway we see the gigantic cruise ships docked at the port to our right and picturesque sailboats on the bay to our left. 

 With my new camera, I take pictures of everything from the window. We enter Miami Beach over the last bridge where there are so many hotels and throngs of beachgoers walking around. So many beautiful people no wonder they call it sexy South Beach. My friends and I are staying at the Fountaineblue Hotel for 2 weeks. This was for me my graduation gift from my parents. I was sharing a room with my best friends Lisa and Jana. We are nice girls, not the type to go wild by getting drunk or drugged. We just want to have fun by the beach, go sightseeing and maybe some dancing too and if we meet some cute guys along the way even better. 

The room had wonder views of the beach beckoning us with the gorgeous turquoise waters. The minute we got in the room we changed into our bathing suits and headed to the pool and the beach.

It was a beautiful day here in South Beach. The sky was a perfect shade of blue and the pool was already packed with people enjoying the sun. I wasn't the type that enjoys getting toasted by the sun so I searched for a shady spot to sit after I went in the cool water for a little bit. The lounger next to me was taken by someone way paler than I am even though I haven't gotten any sun since school ended. All of a sudden a group of guys came running towards him and picked him up to dip him in the pool. 

 "You need to cool off Yoongi!" They yelled having fun.

It was so cute. I couldn't help laughing as I watched them play in the pool.

After a bit of splashing around, Yoongi noticed that I was looking at him and smiled. He is so cute! With his pink hair, he stood out from his dark-haired friends in a good way. It was so adorable watching him splashing around like a free-spirited little kid.

Then to my surprise, he waved at me to join him in the pool. I looked around to make sure it was meant for me but since there was no one near me I pointed to myself and he nodded.

I walked toward the edge of the pool and jumped in with a big splash.

"Hi, the water feels so nice," he said. 

" It does," I replied. 

" I haven't seen you around," he said.

"I just got here from Boston where are you from? I asked.

"I'm from Korea but I'm going to school in Miami.

"Annyeong!" I say even though I know very little Korean. I tell him I'm Korean-American and I ask him more questions about school and his studies.

"University of Miami. My name is Min Yoongi what's your name?"

"My name is Holly. Nice to meet you."

Yoongi giggled cutely. "That's my dog's name!" 

"That's so funny. Really?"

"My real name is Holland, but my friends call me Holly."

"That's a cool name you have." 

"My parents met there on a school trip," I explained.

"Imagine, if we fall in love and name our kid South Beach!" He giggled.

We both laughed. "We need to think of a better name. How about Mia for Miami," I said.

"I like it! Min Mia sounds nice," he said.

"Done. Now we just need to kiss, fall in love, and get married," I laughed.

He looked at me then focused on my lips. All of a sudden I just wanted to kiss his lovely mouth. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close. So close I could feel his breath on my cheek. I lifted my lips and he lowered his till they touched. Our first sweet kiss on the day we met.

I introduced him to my friends and he called over his so we could all get to know each other. We also made plans to hang out later tonight at Club Liv one of the Beach's most trendy clubs.

The sun was beginning its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the bustling streets of South Beach as the day transitioned into evening. Excitement bubbled within me as I prepared for our night out at Club Liv. Lisa, Jana, and I spent a good chunk of the afternoon getting ready, selecting our most stylish outfits and perfecting our makeup. We were determined to make the most of our first night in Miami.

As the clock struck 10, we made our way to Club Liv, the anticipation building with each step. The thumping bass could be heard from blocks away, drawing us closer like moths to a flame. The neon lights illuminated the entrance, casting vibrant hues against the night sky.

Inside, the atmosphere was electric. The air buzzed with energy as people danced and mingled, lost in the rhythm of the music. Yoongi and his friends were already there, waiting for us at the bar. His smile was infectious, and I felt a surge of warmth as our eyes met across the crowded room.

We spent the night dancing, laughing, and getting to know each other better. The music pulsed through our veins, igniting a fire within us as we lost ourselves in the moment. Time seemed to stand still as we danced beneath the neon lights, our laughter mingling with the beat of the music.

As the night drew to a close, Yoongi pulled me aside, his expression serious yet filled with warmth.

"I'm really glad I met you, Holly," he said, his voice barely audible over the music.

"Me too, Yoongi," I replied, my heart fluttering in my chest.

We stood there for a moment, lost in each other's gaze, the world around us fading into the background. In that moment, I knew that this trip to paradise would be one I'd never forget. And as we stepped out into the warm Miami night, hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel that this was only the beginning of something truly magical.
