The overnight session starts by 8PM. And before continuing with their night, it's jamming time again. Of course they are complete with their music instruments to bout. And they know exactly what they will perform infront of the sea on this very refreshing summer night.

The music starts and they start to sing.

People nearby begin approaching them in appreciation of the act. It's a song they are all familiar with and the rendition of the group catches their ears well.

Jeonghan:

The small crowd gives them a round of satisfying applause. It's rewarding to be appreciated. Their hard works in their own fields surely pay off hearing the audience's positive response.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

In between the random jamming and chats, Jun finds his way to approach Jeonghan. Seunghee is with Sorn and Areum walking along the shoreline and Sehun and Jisoo are on the way back to the cottages to get some more drinks. Jeonghan is only watching Seunghee and the girls as he drink his beer so Jun takes the initiative to finally end the gap between them. He sits somewhere close to him infront of the campfire.

"I see noona is happy," Jun awkwardly starts.

Jeonghan hesitates to answer him but he recalls what Seunghee told him earlier. That this guy is finally over her. "Of course, why won't she?"

Jun smirks at his snide remark, "I guess she already told you."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Hyung," he pauses and snorts, "It's still a little awkward for me to call you that."

"Who told you, you can address me that way?"

"Noona did."

"Ah... that girl is really lax when it comes to her dongsaengs."

"She is. That's why I really had a hard time letting go of her."

Jeonghan leers at him at the corner of his eyes. But Jun's expression is honest. And he acknowledges the fact that he's the one peacemaking with him now.

"Even if you didn't, you'll eventually do so cuz you don't stand a chance anyways."

Jun snorts, "I knew that from the start."

Jeonghan grabs a can of beer and hands it to him. "Drink up, we have a long night ahead."

Jun grabs it from him and says, "Thanks hyung."

"Bottoms up?"

"Bottoms up!"

Jun opens his can and the beer spurts out of it, making him almost jump. While Jeonghan laughs his heart out beside him.

"That's for punching me back then," he says in between his laughter.

Jun is somewhat a little pissed off but it's alright. A little fun won't hurt. It's normal between friends right?

"I'll get back at you hyung," Jun says.

While Jeonghan continues to laugh at him, he gets back to his seat and grabs another can of beer.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Walking along the shoreline, Seunghee starts teasing Sorn about Jisoo.

"I think Jisoo has it hard for you Sorn. You can tell, he's definitely in love with you," she utters.

"No... I should really tell oppa off one of these days," Sorn replies.

"You're finally rejecting him? About time," Areum asks.

"Well, I've been thinking about it for a while now. I just can't do it. I don't want to be awkward with him even more," Sorn says.

"It's better to be honest with him," Seunghee adds.

Sorn just nods but she really wants to tell them about Jun. "You know unnies, what if someone tells you he's taking chances with you? What does that really mean?"

"What were you talking about?" Areum interjects.

"Yeah, and who told you?" Seunghee seconds.

She's really embarrassed about it that it's getting hard for her to talk. "Well... just someone..."

Seunghee and Areum turn to each other and quite get the idea that it's someone they know.

"Is it Jisoo? I don't think he'll say anything of that sort. Maybe it's Jun?" Areum blurts out.

Sorn freezes for a second and denies it intentionally, "No, no. It's not him."

"But you were talking sweetly a little while ago. And did I see him holding your hand? Yeah, I guess my eyes were not tricking me," Seunghee starts teasing her.

Areum then adds something, "Why hide it from us Sorn?"

This time she's obliged to tell them, "Alright, alright. It's him. Jun told me that."

"Yaah!!!" Areum and Seunghee screams.

"I can't believe it! This is a dream come true! I'm so happy for you!" Seunghee exclaims.

"Wow... just wow. Is this some kind of drama? This is like a fictional love story!" Areum comments.

Sorn smiles but feels really embarrassed, "There's nothing to be glad about just yet guys. We're not even together yet."

"He said he's taking chances with you right? Didn't he say he likes you?" Areum asks.

"Actually he did," Sorn answers.

"Then it's good as done! Come on girl, you know it," Areum adds.

"No... I can't presume-" Sorn is still in denial of it.

"Ah, you're just being stubborn," Seunghee says smiling, shaking her.

Sorn can't just help but smile. Her unnies are happy for her. They keep teasing her about Jun but she actually has a bigger problem ahead. How to tell Jisoo that she's finally rejecting him. How to break the cool guy's heart.

Later on, everyone gather again and for some time, they jam and sing-along for a couple of times again before resting the rest of the night away.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

It's a couple of minutes since they all called it a night and locked themselves away in their own rooms. The couples are together, but this time, Jisoo and Jun took a single room for each of themselves. That makes it two double rooms and three single rooms.

Sorn has the room all to herself again. But this time she's not feeling lonely at all. In fact, the actual question is, will she able to sleep tonight? Now that something so heartening has happened, now that her feelings are finally being acknowledged and eventually returned, it's gonna be different right? She smiles to herself and stares at the ceiling. She hopes for too much, she scolds herself.

She's readying herself to close her eyes and find luck in sleeping when her phone alerts. She gets it by the side table and it instantly makes her heart flutter. Cuz it's a message from Jun.

Jun: Hey, are you asleep? Just ignore this message if you're about to.

He's still the obnoxious little prince alright, however, just a little nicer. She beams as she types her message and sends it.

Sorn: I'm still awake your highness. (happy emoji)

From there, they exchange messages even though they're only a wall away cuz Jun's room is actually just next to hers.

Jun: !!%$!%&%&# (popping vein emoji)

Sorn: What? You don't like it? You're like a prince right? With all your riches and stuff. (winking emoji)

Jun: And are you my servant? (proud emoji)

Sorn: Well...??? (confused emoji)

Jun: Should I call you out and fetch me something? (devil emoji)

Sorn: At this time? Wow, you're getting ahead of yourself. (apathetic emoji)

Jun: (obnoxious emoji)

Sorn: That suits you. (laughing emoji)

Jun: Or should I go out and check on you instead? (grinning emoji)

She pauses for a second and replies him.

Sorn: And why should you do that? (clueless emoji)

She awaits his reply for minute but she gets nothing. So she types a message again.

Sorn: Prince Jun, did you sleep on me? (popping vein/pouting emoji)

Still there is no reply. She sighs. Hasn't she gotten used to this already? It has happened so many times before, what else is new? She's about to keep her phone away when it suddenly rings. Surprisingly, it's Jun calling. She bolts up her bed, and even though confused, she touches the accept button on the screen and slowly puts the phone over her right ear.

"Are you making fun of me?" she utters.

But there is no reply. She can hear his breathing though and it literally pops an actual vein on her temple.

"You don't wanna talk? Fine, I'll hang up now. Good night."

She's about to put the phone down when he hears him laugh. She obliges and puts it back over her ear only to hear some words she never expects.

- 'You know why I called you often? Cuz I wanted to hear your voice.' -

Like an arrow hits her directly at the heart, it leaves her motionless for a second and he continues.

- 'Anyway, see you in a few hours. Good night Thai Princess.' -

Before she can react, he drops the call. The typical Wen Junhui she has always known. But what is this? Right now, she can't really grasp the emotions going through inside her heart and mind. What kind of spell is he planting on her this time huh? She wants to scream out loud. She's not used to feeling tingly and giddy and happy and fluffy... Even with her first boyfriend, it was so normal she can hardly even remember the feeling. She slams herself down the bed and hugs the pillow, stirring sideways to face her phone.

"Damn you Wen Junhui," she silently utters.

She's not used to it, she has to admit. But she loves it. She definitely loves all of it.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Jeonghan and Seunghee are laying down together on the bed. They're facing each other, both laying on their sides on opposite corners. She has some really tired eyes that are about to close any minute now. While he's wide awake, just staring at the extreme beauty before him.

"Our flight is 9AM. We have to get some sleep now," she says, trying to hold her eyes from closing.

"After you," he utters, always the gentleman for her even at this time.

She closes her eyes but gives him a warning before totally dozing off, "Don't even try doing anything funny."

He chuckles nervously, she truly knows him well. The angel with the devil inside. "When will we be able to sleep like this every night?"

"Hm?" she's half-awake but she can still understand him.

"When will you be mine Oh Seunghee?" he continues.

She doesn't respond this time. He smiles to himself cuz she's already sound asleep. She's sleeping so carelessly beside him, as the person he loves and wish to marry someday. He smiles, looking tenderly at her sleeping figure. He vows never to hurt her again. Be it because of others, even more if it's because of him. He will try his best never to let it happen again. But what if she's the one who hurts him? It suddenly crosses his mind. Will he be able to take it? But he immediately brushes it off. He can't live his life without her anymore. But if things turn out for the worst in the future, he knows, he will find his way back to her. Cuz nobody but her can make him live his life. He caresses her face one last time for the night and slip off to dreamland himself.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Jisoo is still awake in his room. He's thinking. He's thinking really hard as to how the future will end for him. His past relationships were all immature and childish. He had a couple of girlfriends before but it was all because they were young and nothing really serious came out of it. But this time, he's mature enough to know that it's not a simple crush or infatuation anymore. He's serious about her. This is the first time he ever felt this way. He knows it himself that if he loses her today, he'll probably take a long time to heal. But he doesn't lose hope. It's not over till it's over. The one thing he's good at is striving. And he'll strive hard till the very last minute to win her over.

He stares at her picture on his phone. This girl is all there is to him right now. And if hope is all there is he can hold on to, he'll grab it and take hold of it, tightly and firmly.
