Trips always bring people closer, at least that's what I think. 

____________________________________________________

Minho and Meera drop of their luggage at the Airbnb and relax for a bit. 

'Hey look, this owner has SHINee merch displayed in my room.' Meera comes out excited. 

'She is more excited about merch than she was excited about me.' Minho thought rolling his eyes. 

'Do you want to see or not?' Meera asked. 'I know most of our merch. Lets go out' Minho suggests. 

'Mean idol, you should be excited about fans buying your stuff.' Meera comments. 

'I am grateful for that I was pissed you are not excited about me the way you are excited about the merch' Minho blurts out.

'Why do you think I am not interested?' Meera asks confused at his comment.

 'Go get dressed, we don't have whole day.' Minho says changing the topic. They lock the house and get out for a walk and find the teddy bear museum. 

'How cute' Meera exclaims as she enters. 

'Your mood is already better I see' Minho smiles. 

'Why can't we touch them.' Meera says touching the glass barrier.

 'You seem like Taemin's sister.' Minho chuckles at her behavior. 

After looking around, as Meera comes out a man gives a poster to her which he was distributing. 'New museum?'  Meera asks. 'Yes, people your age will surely like the art.' the man replies. 'Thank you' Meera runs to Minho waving the poster. 'Ya, ya give it here.' Minho says snatching the poster as he reads the content he gets flustered. 'We should go. That ajusshi said people my age will like it.' Meera insists. 'No, that ajusshi is just bluffing. Don't go to places like that.' Minho replies flustered as he shoves the museum of sex and health poster into his coat pocket assuming Meera could not understand the complex Korean word with her vocabulary. 'What's wrong its an art museum.' Meera pouts. 'I am really hungry, choose the next place after lunch except this museum.' Minho replies hesitantly still not knowing how to not get her embarrassed. 'Fine' Meera yield as they check for nearby restaurants. 

Meera's phone pops up a message.

Pooh ~ Are you well? Having food at time?

Meera ~ I came to jeju, for this weekend.

Pooh ~ You went alone??

Meera ~ No I have my roommate with me.

Pooh ~ Okay send me pictures of you two. Enjoy your trip.

'Hey is it okay if I tell my bestfriend we are roommates?' Meera asks as Minho admires the view. 

'You did not tell your bestfriend? Are you sure you have a bestfriend?' Minho asks shocked. 

'Then why didn't you tell your members? ' Meera complains. 

'That is different. They will not stop teasing me. It would be uncomfortable for you, because you will be at SM for work.' Minho replies. 

'Yeah and I thought you would not be okay with it.' Meera justifies. 

'I'll trust her because you do.' Minho replies nodding. 

'Okay. Ready to give her a little surprise?' Meera says opening her camera and Minho stood opposite to it. 

'Hello, I'm SHINee's Minho. Your bestie and I share a house.' Minho introduced himself as the camera started recording and Meera gave a thumbs up.

They quickly check the video and send it to Poorva. And a few minutes later the phone buzzes with a call.

'Are you serious??' Poorva shrieked as Meera put the call on speaker. 

'Yes' Meera laughed at the reaction. 

'Why did you not tell me before?' Poorva complaints. 

'Hey! you were the one who assumed it was a girl. You did not even listen completely when I told how crappy the first meet was.' Meera explains.

 'How can anything be crappy with Choi Minho. How dare you argue with him.' Poorva yells. 

'You are on speaker idiot. Stop praising him.' Meera murmurs as Minho laughs at Poorva's comment. 

'OMG I am on speaker. Hello Minho I am Poorva. I love you and SHINee.' Poorva says in excitement. 

'Thank you so much Poorva.' Minho smiles taking the phone in his hands. 

'Don't believe her, she has too many biases' Meera argues. 

'You just don't talk with me. How could you keep him to yourself.' Poorva comments. 

'Excuse me!! I never kept him to myself, stop saying lame stuff. You are embarrassing me' Meera replies switching off the speaker.

'I will die if I even see any idol and you are living with one, but you are not even grateful for that' Poorva complains. 

'Hey idols are humans too, they are just more talented.' Meera replies.

 'And more attractive.' Poorva adds. 

'Ah this girl.' Meera sighs. 

'Tell me one thing, does your heart ever skip a beat, when he smiles at you.' Poorva asks.

 'Most of the time, he nags at me. All his smiles are for shows only sweetheart.' Meera laughs. 

'Don't you want to have lunch?' Minho speaks up as he watches Meera still on call.

 'Hey, I have to go. Is it okay? Or do you still want to scold me.' Meera asks. 

'Its okay, we can talk on Monday. Don't keep him waiting. Bye.' Poorva cuts the call.

'See that's the excitement I was talking about.' Minho says as they search a good place to eat.

 'You want an excited fangirl in your house?' Meera asks laughing at what he just said. 

Before he could even reply she puts on her cute face 'Minho shi no wait.' Meera corrects herself and continues ' Oppaaaa, I am your huge fan. Please give me a sign, a selfie, Sarangheyo Oppa, Oppa fighting!!' to which Minho reacts with a horrified face.

 'Is that what you want?' Meera bursts out laughing. 

'You are a terrible actor, please don't kill people.' Minho giggles. 

They have their lunch and Meera looks up places to roam around. 'How long will you take to decide?' Minho sighs with his hands crossed as Meera endlessly scrolls on her phone. 

'I am almost there' Meera replies walking behind him. 

'Lets go to beach, you will like it.' Minho suggests. 

'No lets go here. You said you'll let me choose.' Meera shows him a place. 

'That's just a tunnel.' Minho comments looking at the tourist spot. 

'Its a UNESCO spot. Lets go.' Meera convinces him as she calls for a taxi.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

'Seriously? This is the one you wanted to come to.' Minho complains looking at the sight. 

'Don't judge a book by its cover Minho-shi' Meera replies waving the tickets.

 'Look its already dark' Minho comments as they enter the tunnel. 

'Why are you scared? You can hold my hand if you are.' Meera replies offering her hand. 

'No. I am fine.' Minho declines walking in before her. 

Meera takes random shots where ever the lighting was visible, she taps at Minho who was staring at a direction for a time being.

 'Ya, come here. Doesn't that look like something to you?' Minho pulls her close and points to the direction. 

'Its lava!' Meera replies staring at it intensely. 

'Look properly' Minho moves his head as a no. 

'Than what is it?' Meera asks curious to know his perspective. 

'Poop' Minho laughs answering. 

'I can't unsee it.' Meera laughs along hitting his shoulder. 

A guard blows a whistle as their laughs echo in the cave. Meera blocks Minho's mouth as he starts laughing more. 

They walk in few more meters and Meera screams at the sight of something flying.

 'What is it??' Minho looks worried in all direction as Meera held his arm.

 'Its a bat. I feel nauseous' Meera replies tightening her grip.

 'Lets leave, tell me when you feel more dizzy' Minho suggests grabbing her tightly as they walk out.

Minho gets a water bottle as Meera held her head sitting on a bench.

 'Drink it.' Minho says patting her back.

 'I am fine now I guess.' Meera replies after gulping down some water. 

'Don't you use common sense. Of course there would be bats at such places. UNESCO spot or any spot.' Minho scolds looking at her. 

'I chose it so you need not worry about people recognizing you' Meera replies fixing her hair. Minho was really touched at how much she thought about him, he smiled for a moment before fixing his expression. 

'Its alright. I had amazing time watching poop structures with you' Minho laughed as Meera facepalmed remembering the scene.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

They come back to their stay and eat some light snacks which they bought on their way back. 'Put on something warmer.' Minho suggests as Meera gets ready for an evening walk. 'Its not even that cold. I am fine in this.' Meera replies pointing at her coat. 

They walk up to a small mountain to watch the sunset.

 'Waah its so nice here. We are not even home by this time in Seoul.' Meera says looking at the orange sky. 

'There were days I never saw sunrise or sunset.' Minho comments. 

'Trainee days?' Meera asks to which he nods. 

'But now everything feels it was worth it.' Minho replies. 

'You guys really did an amazing job. All your hard work paid off.' Meera continued. 

'Don't you want pictures for your SNS?' Minho asks looking at her.

 'You know what, I don't know if it I should ask you for this, but you should make an Instagram account.' Meera remembered.

 'What not you too.' Minho laughs it off.

 'Hey I am serious. Your fans are waiting out there like crazy. Shouldn't you be a grateful idol?' Meera tries convincing. 

'I can't deal with all that stuff.' Minho replies.

 'Pleaseee, do it.' Meera pleads. 'You and please...' Minho laughs.

 'Ready or not rock paper scissors' Meera puts a paper as Minho pulls a rock. 

'No no again.' Minho complains as he loses. 

'No no Minho shi' Meera giggles. Her phone rings and she is surprised by the caller. 

'Who is it?' Minho asks to which she shows her phone which read Dad Video calling...

She runs back to the stay and puts on some home clothes, rushing to a corner. 'Hey dad.' Meera greets as she picks the call.

 'Hey Meera, what took you so long?' her dad asks. 

'I was in shower. Just saw your call' Meera replies and Minho puts his hand on his mouth as Meera makes up a story of her having a headache and rushing the things off. 

'Do you want to expose me that bad?' Meera says hitting him with a pillow. 

'No dad, I am working this weekend. I will call you on Monday.' Minho imitates her. 

'What am I supposed to tell him? That I am here on a trip with the guy I met a week ago, and on top I am living with him because I got scammed' Meera lamented.

 'Hey, lets not go there' Minho says as she was on the verge of crying with the recent incident.

'I don't know how foolish I am. I thought I can handle stuff like an adult.' Meera sighs. 

'Even adults make mistakes. You learnt to be more careful now didn't you?' Minho says making her sit beside him. 

'I did.' Meera nods. 

'Don't worry about anything else right now.' Minho assures patting her head as she wipes her tears. 

'But I have to think about something important.' Meera replies.

 'What is it?' Minho asks curious. 

'Food' Meera laughs. 

'Good. Lets order lots of food.' Minho cheers.
