"Finally!" Jeonghan exclaims right after stepping down the vehicle, which the group rented for this trip.

He puts his arm around Seunghee's shoulders, who just steps down with him as the others follow behind. Seungcheol, Jisoo, Sorn, Areum and Sehun are also delighted on this trip. They're finally at the long been due hot spring inn night out.

"They're open at last," Areum says.

"I've been waiting for this!" Sehun interjects, "They say there's a VIP spot that you can soak together with anyone," emphasizing on the word 'anyone' and winks at Areum who leers right back at him.

"Anyways, we girls are staying at a room together," Areum states, deriding Sehun.

"What?!" Sehun strongly refutes.

Jeonghan exclaims groan of discontent too, "Noona..."

Seunghee pats him on the head lightly. Jisoo just laughs and Seungcheol smirks while Sorn shakes her head.

"Lee Areum, you can't do this to me!" Sehun reprimands.

"Then you can forget about the gift you're asking for on your birthday," Areum answers and walks towards the inn. "Come on guys."

The others follow Areum leaving Sehun still sulking at his place but gives in anyhow.

"Alright, I take that back. You can do this to me, yeah, why can't you?" Sehun says following them behind, making the others chuckle at this hilarious sunbae.

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

But it's a well-played joke. Sehun and Areum are definitely sharing a room together. They are at the counter now, reserving their chosen rooms.

"Well, it's up to you if you want to stay in a room yourself," Areum says, talking to Seunghee and Jeonghan. "Well you're practically living together so it's not new thing."

Sehun turns to Jeonghan though, "I suggest you get a room together. Being in an apartment and in this hot spring inn room is a completely different experience. Take my advice Jeonghan-shi."

Areum hits him on the head with her bag this time, "Stop being the devil. Let them decide for themselves."

"Aw! That hurt!" Sehun complains to her while massaging the back of his head. But he can't fight back anyway. Instead, he tells her playfully, "I'll deal with you later my dear."

And it sends shiver down Areum's spine.

"Don't think about me unnie," Sorn says to Seunghee. "I'll be alright."

Seunghee looks at her considerately but then Jeonghan suddenly speaks with the hostess, "We'll take another room for two please."

Seunghee slaps him on the arm quite hardly, "Jeonghan-ah!"

"Aw!" Jeonghan utters as he touches the hurt arm.

"It's okay unnie. I'll have a single room please," Sorn tells the counter.

Jisoo follows next, "And we'll have another room for two boys please."

"SEPARATE BEDS miss," Seungcheol notes.

"Okay, just kindly wait as I process your reservations," the counter lady replies with a smile.

"I'm sorry Sorn," Seunghee apologizes.

"I don't really mind unnie," Sorn replies.

"We'll keep you company once they're gone," Jisoo utters.

"YOU'll keep her company cuz I'll be hanging around the area," Seungcheol points out as he looks around.

"Oh, yah," Jisoo smiles at Sorn.

Sorn can only smile back timidly at him.

Then the hostess finally gives out their room keys. "Excuse me, here are your keys."

"Thanks!" they all say.

"Let's all rest for a while, it's been a long trip," Sehun commands.

"See you later guys," Areum adds.

"Are you okay alone?" Jisoo asks Sorn.

"Yah, I'll just meet you guys later. I got tired from the trip anyways," Sorn replies.

"I'll just send you a message later okay?" Seunghee tells her.

"Okay, no problem," Sorn answers with a smile.

"Come on, jagiya," Jeonghan utters.

"Yah," Seunghee replies.

"Let's all have a nice rest before the night starts!" Seungcheol exclaims.

"Ye..." they all reply softly as all of them search for their reserved rooms.

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

Unfortunately, the place is packed and their rooms are a bit scattered. Sehun and Areum are in room 103, Seunghee and Jeonghan in room 110, Sorn in room 115 and Jisoo and Seungcheol in room 201. So they really have to send messages to contact each other. But since they're all tired anyway, they all decide to take a quick nap before their hot spring vacation officially starts.

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

Seunghee and Jeonghan are sitting on the bed. It's been an hour since they checked in and they have taken a short nap together. Jeonghan has his legs spread wide open and Seunghee sits just before his crotch, her back facing him, leaning on him. She's busy reading the pamphlet the owner gave them, checking out their cheap promotions.

"If we came here for your birthday, I don't think I'd be able to enjoy it more than today," Jeonghan says as he nuzzles his face at the nook of her neck and hugging her.

"Enjoy in what way? I don't think I comprehend," she tries to push it aside. The tone of his voice indicates a whole lot of meaning. He's certainly going to the wild side again.

"Would you mind if I elaborate then?" he utters with a mischievous smile.

"I do so don't start with me Jeonghan. We haven't even gone out yet."

"Come on, don't spoil the fun Seunghee-ya."

He embraces her even tighter, pulling her closer to him.

"Jagiya!" she exclaims.

But he's already nuzzling her hair as his hands freely roam around her stomach. He's feeling it so much he's starting to feel hot. He gathers her hair on one side of her shoulder and starts nipping at her neck.

Seunghee originally wanted to push him away but upon feeling the warmth of his hands and the subtleness of his kiss inside this very comfy hot spring inn room, she instantly submits to him. Feeling too feeble and weak to even move his fingers away. Instead, she holds his hands gently as he delicately holds her body close. Eventually, she feels him biting on her neck, like a vampire sucking out blood, and involuntarily a soft moan escapes her mouth.

It's the first time he hears something so inviting from her. It makes his manliness explode and in no time, he's kissing her ardently, twisting her carefully around to face him. His fingers wander around her back, carving every part of her body into the palm of his hands.

She obliges and gives in. She's finding it hard to resist him anymore. Maybe the ambience of this place is spellbinding her to be physically submissive. But then, she loves this person more than anyone in the world, what's the fuss about giving him what he has been wanting? She thinks it's just fair to let him have her, not just a limited part of her, but all of her.

Feeling her cave in without any resistance at all, he's overjoyed. Finally, he will be able to let her feel how much he wants her. How much he longs for her. After a few months, she finally allows him do what he has been dreaming about. He's about to take his ministration a step higher but on second thought, he reconsiders the future. His life with her, his family with her, his reality with her. He can't let anything go wrong at this point in time. A little pleasure of the flesh will last for a few hours, but the pleasure of spending his whole life with her, will be for eternity.

With all these going on in his head, he restrains himself. And instead of continuing on with his heated desires, he halts kissing her. He jerks her around again on her original sitting position infront of him. And ingenuously, tightly, enfolds her from behind, pecking lightly on her left shoulder.

This gesture from him astonishes her, making her wonder why he stopped.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asks.

"Nothing. Just thinking," he answers. "About our future together."

It feels heart-warming. It puts a tender smile on her face. He's so flustered and so is she because of the scene they were in a few moments ago. But now look at him, timidly uttering words that sound so beautiful in her ears. She feels relieved somehow. A few moments ago, she felt like on the verge of dying but thanks to him, it's all gone now.

She relaxes as she leans her head on his and holds his arms around her, "Go on. I want to hear it."

"Never mind," he replies, concealing his embarrassment. "Can we just stay like this for a while?"

She giggles, "Alright. I'll let you go for now. It's kinda breezy here so fine. And by the way, thank you."

He instantly understands what it's for and just buries his face on the softness of her hair murmuring, "Yeah. No problem."

She smiles to herself at the way he's acting. He's probably on the edge of blowing up right now. But he decided to stop himself on his own, proving how mature he's come to be. And she can't be more proud of him.

"Though you should've continued cuz you probably won't have another chance anytime soon," she teased.

He murmurs, his face still buried on her hair. "Don't try to tease me jagiya."

She laughs now, "I'm not. I'm just stating the facts."

"Yah, right."

She laughs at him again as he still hides his face, silently trying to control his raging hormones.

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

Later on, the group finally rendezvous at the hot spring bathing area. The girls are all excited to soak themselves into the famous skin rejuvenating water. All thrilled about how true their promotions and ads are. They are squealing inside the changing area, as they change into their bathing robes.

"They say it's like water with rose petals and milk, you'll feel really silky right after!" Areum relates.

"I can't wait to get in, unnie!" Seunghee says.

"Maybe it can whiten my skin a bit?" Sorn smiles at the joke on herself.

"Don't worry," Seunghee tells her as a matter of fact as she puts a hand on her shoulder and continues. "It doesn't affect your visuals at all. With that waistline, you look smothering."

Areum just laughs it off. "Come on Seunghee, you're not bad yourself. Stop being modest."

"Yeah, I personally think unnie is the prettiest amongst the 95liners in the campus," Sorn adds.

"Ah! You guys are embarrassing me!" Seunghee interjects. "Let's just burn out in the hot springs okay?"

"Sure thing," the two girls reply.

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

Meanwhile, in the boys' bath, they are all soaking the waters, about five meters away from each other, with nothing but boredom plastered on their faces and a contagious sighing disease.

Sehun sighs first, then Jeonghan, followed by Seungcheol. Only Jisoo is relaxing on the warm hot spring waters and he lets out a different kind of sigh, a satisfied one.

"This is relaxing," he utters but no one replies. "Hey guys!"

He looks at them one by one but to no avail earns a reply from them so he just shrugs and leaves them alone and continues to enjoy his soothing leisure with a smile.

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

After the rejuvenating bath, the girls pace their way to their reserved party room all animated and amazed at how the spring water really feels good on their skin. They are all gabby talking about it when they reach the room, perceiving a very dull atmosphere from the four boys slumping there. Only Jisoo welcomes them with a smile as Jeonghan and Sehun both eye their precious girlfriends with lost expressions. Seungcheol looks uninterested though.

"They've been waiting guys," Jisoo utters.

"Is it black Saturday today? Why are your faces all like that?" Areum inquires as she sits beside Sehun.

Seunghee goes on sitting beside Jeonghan where he instantly cuddles with her and Sorn simply seats where it's free, coincidentally beside Jisoo.

"What took you so long? We've been bored to death without you!" Sehun complains.

"What are we? Entertainers? Get a grip will you," Areum tells him with an intonation he surely knows well.

"Yes, ma'am," Sehun obliges.

Seunghee can understand Jeonghan though. So she just checks the menu and scans the available meals, "What would you want jagiya?"

"You choose, I'll have what you're having," Jeonghan replies still a bit downhearted.

Sorn talks to Jisoo, "So what's up with these guys? They look... disoriented."

"I have no idea, they were all like that since we were in the bath," Jisoo answers.

Sorn only tilts her head clueless. What happened to the enthusiastic guys they were with earlier in the day? It makes her think what really occurred. When suddenly, Seungcheol bolts up his seat, surprising her and making Jisoo turn too.

"Ah! Enough with the sighing guys!" he exclaims.

"Look who's talking?" Jeonghan murmurs.

"Shut it Jeonghan. Aren't we here to have fun? Then let's have it!" Seungcheol adds.

"Why don't you start with turning the noraebang machine on so we can have some music?" Sehun orders.

"That's what I'm gonna do!" Seungcheol replies and the walk over the machine, plugs it and turns it on. And finally the place slowly livens up with the background music.

"I'll start! And you're next hyung!" he challenges. "Beat my score!"

"Bring it on!" Sehun shouts.

Seungcheol picks a song and at last, the gloomy mood is gone. With Seungcheol's effort in lifting up the atmosphere, he succeeds. In no time, the others begin partying around. Singing, with a bit of dancing and even playing around. Finally, the night picks up itself from the bottom all the way up.
