I looked away, returned inside the room, and took my eyeglasses. I immediately looked at what Marvin had pointed out and saw my friends laughing with the RealSeven members, except for Marvin.
H-How did they close RealSeven so quickly? Maybe they used a magic potion.
"Go with them." Marvin suddenly said from the veranda of their room.
I turned to him. As usual, he was quiet again. "Why don't you come with me and join them?" I asked while smiling at him.
"No thanks. I prefer to be alone than with strangers," Marvin said bluntly, looking straight ahead.
Ouch! He shouldn't say those words. I'm not a stranger, Marvin. I'm your soon-to-be wife.
I laughed at what I thought.
"What's funny?" He asked seriously.
"N-Nothing." I shook my head and smiled awkwardly.
"A-Ahm. We're not as bad as you think." I laughed nervously.
"Don't lock yourself in that room. You guys went here because you want to enjoy it. You are isolating yourself in the four corners of your room. You're afraid to be with us, to be with strangers. We are the only people in this resort, so we will always see each other." I was still smiling despite itching to go to my friends.
Marvin didn't answer, so I left him alone. I returned to the room, sorted my scattered belongings, and went out. When I came out, Marvin also came out of their room.
"Oh!" I was shocked when I saw him. "I thought you didn't want to join us," I said with a smirk before I passed before him.
After we left the hotel, I ran over to my friends. We became children again while playing in the sea. RealSeven approached Marvin, picked him up, and threw him into the sea. We just laughed at what they did to Marvin.
We also spent a few hours playing, swimming, and drowning in the sea. The resort was filled with giggles, teasing, and gossiping we all had. It's so funny because it didn't stop us from having fun and teasing each other despite the language barrier. Although they can understand and speak in English, but only some are confident in communicating in English, like me. There are only two groups here, but there are too many people when we talk.
I sat on the sand to watch the sunset and appreciate its beauty. I didn't expect Marvin to sit beside me, so my cheeks got hot immediately. If I'm still the same, maybe I've been sweating a lot and not talking to Marvin.
"Hey. I'm sorry about earlier." Marvin said briefly, but I knew what he was saying.
"It's okay. I know that it's hard to give your full trust to strangers. And besides, I knew that you're a reserved person." I smiled at Marvin genuinely.
"Your name is Louise, right? And you're our fan, so you know us?" He nodded.
I shook my head. "Not really." I'm embarrassed about what I confessed. "I stan RealSeven when you guys left WGM Entertainment. It took me six years before I got to know you."
"Oh! But at least we have gained more fans since we left that company," Marvin said, looking straight into my eyes.
"I wasn't there in the first place, but I'll be with you until your last piece." I smiled at him.
We became silent again. I'm not with my usual self when I'm talking with someone, I'm not comfortable with. I used to be talkative and noisy around my friends, but when it comes to a handsome man, like Marvin, my mind goes blank.
"I'm Marvin Tan." He introduced himself, and he stretched out his hand.
I accepted his hand. "I'm Louise Diaz, and I'm honored to meet you personally." We shook hands and smiled at each other.
Marvin and I both looked at the sunset. Sheena sat next to me, and Justin sat next to him. Our friends followed, and together we witnessed the beautiful sunset.
"Let's take a photo together," Johan said, the leader of RealSeven.
"With us?" Laura asked incredulously.
"Yup! It will be our first picture here in this resort." Ivan said.
"We have a monopod here, so we can take a better picture," Lovie said before handing me the one.
I put my phone there and fixed it.
I'll take a lot of pictures of us.
"Let's compress," I said to fit us all.
My heartbeat quickened as Marvin and I touched our skin together. I looked at him and smiled automatically.
"Why are you smiling, Louise?" Haye noticed me.
"N-Nothing. Let's go! 1..2..3... " We simultaneously smiled at the camera.
We took a lot of pictures and made different poses before we stopped. They took their phones, including RealSeven, and I passed the images to them. We are all busy looking at the pictures.
"What is the good caption for these pictures?" Karl asked.
"Unexpected friendship." Junior's suggestion made Haye frown.
"That's common. Let's think of another caption." Haye said.
"Calm down! I was suggesting." Junior whispered.
"My caption is "RealSeven with the strangers" Is it okay if I put your group name? Or should I erase it?" I asked them.
"It's okay. I'll caption that too." Karl said.
"Our fans will notice us even if you don't put our group name," Yohan said with a smile.
"I know," I said while laughing.
Since I'm done, too, I updated my mom on what we're already doing, scrolled through Instagram, and liked all the pictures.
"Hey, guys, aren't you hungry yet? We'll have a bonfire party later, won't we?" I heard Marie say.
Of course, we will have a bonfire party later. Exciting!
"Let's take a bath and eat first so we can get ready for the bonfire party," Haye said.
My friends and I stood up to take a bath. We forgot that we were with RealSeven.
"Won't you ask them if they want to join us later? Or let's inform them we will have a bonfire party." Emmanuel said as he held Laura's hand.
"Ask them, Emmanuel," Junior said.
"Hey, guys. Come and join us at our bonfire party later." Emmanuel told them.
"Are we allowed to join you all?" Jacob asked hesitantly.
"Yes, of course! You can join us if you guys want to." Haye replied while smiling.
"We'll join later." Johan smiled at us before they stood up.
We go back to our rooms together.
"Sheena, how did you guys make them trust you?" I asked Sheena as we waited for Axel to finish taking a shower.
"Ah. When we were about to swim, they called us. I didn't know exactly what happened, but I remembered Ivan introduced himself to us, and then his members followed him. That's all," Sheena told me.
"You didn't ask them why they suddenly approached you?" I frowned at her story.
"No. We enjoyed their company, so we forgot to ask them why they joined us." Sheena said while fixing her things.
"Okay. I'm 100% sure they are harmless." I smiled at her.
After we fixed ourselves, we left the room. Marvin and Jacob came out of their room simultaneously, so we smiled at them.
"Hi, guys." Jacob greeted us with a smile.
My ship is sailing!
"Hello!" Axel greeted them warmly.
"Good evening." Sheena greeted them, too.
The five of us went to a hotel restaurant.
"Eat well, guys," Axel said briefly to them before we parted ways.
We sat again in our place earlier. RealSeven was also in their seats at lunchtime. Endless storytelling happened at our table, and there would be insults, teasing, and laughter.
After eating, we went outside to prepare everything we needed for the bonfire party. There are lights around, so it's not too scary, even if it's super quiet. The men had prepared the wood, and we women were staring at them and eating marshmallows. RealSeven helps to light up the wood to make a fire. I checked my phone, and it was already 7 pm. They said we would start at 7:30 pm. I already had some marshmallows, but they were still unfinished, so I got up and walked. I circled them like a manager.
"Arthur, you're doing it wrong. Fix that." I was joking with Arthur.
"You should've done it," Arthur replied.
"Oh! Do you have the guts to answer me like that? You're fired." I pointed at him, and I burst out laughing.
"You look so stupid, Louise," Axel said while sitting on the sand like a mermaid.
"I can't do anything. I'm bored." I sat down next to Axel and put my head on his shoulder.
Axel suddenly pushed my head away. "Ewwww! Don't you dare to put your head on my shoulder again. We look like a couple." He said disgustingly.
"Ouch!" I'm ready to throw my fist at him. "As if I'll like you. But when one of the members rests his head on your shoulder, you want it." I backfired on him.
"Of course! I might be unable to breathe when one of the RealSeven members rests his head on my shoulder." Axel said dreamingly.
"What head do you want to put on you?" Marie asked as she played with the sand.
We burst out laughing at Marie's question.
"Of course, Axel wants that one." Haye teased him.
"We know that Axel wants the head with two balls," Junior said while eating a marshmallow.
"You idiots!" Axel shouted sharply at them.
He suddenly threw sand at me, hitting me in the face. I retaliated by running so he wouldn't throw sand at me again. I also went back to them when I saw that Axel had stopped.
"Karl!" Laura called Karl in a girly voice.
We looked at each other, and then we all laughed at her voice.
"Hey, woman. You're such a flirt." Junior said to Laura.
"In Korea, they call Oppa when the man is older than the girl," Laura said.
"Junior hasn't evolved yet, so he's still innocent. He only knows hentai." Lovie said while laughing.
"Karl!" Laura repeated.
"You shouldn't have repeated it. It's not good to hear that," I said, covering my two ears.
Laura slapped my arm, and she rolled her eyes.
"Yes?" We heard Karl say, so we looked at him.
"Can you put your head on his shoulder?" Laura said while pointing at Axel.
We watched as Axel's eyes widened and his nostrils widened. He was probably suppressing his laughter, so his nostrils were getting bigger.
"Fuck you, Laura!" Axel shouted.
