Chapter List
Chapter 38. The Weekend Getaway Proposition
Asuka pulled up just outside the apartment building Ana and Yuki were in, ten minutes from their own apartment. Asuka and Lexi unbuckled their seatbelts and got down from the van.
“We won’t be long, just stay put and don’t draw attention to yourselves okay? Although you probably wouldn’t, being in NZ and all,” Asuka said from the window before closing the driver’s seat door and making her way to the building.
“Do Ana and Yuki know about our…guests?” Lexi asked as the two waited for the elevator. Asuka shook her head. “No? Well do the guys know that the females don’t know that they’re here?” Again Asuka shook her head. “Did you tell them anything?”
“Of course I did. They know we’re coming,” Asuka flashed a smile as the two entered the elevator.
It wasn’t as if she was lying to her friends, she just didn’t see the need to tell them who exactly they were going to be going with. If she did, there would be a never ending cycle of fangirling (not that she didn’t, but her friends were something else) and whatever other hyper things fangirls did.
“It’s not like they would expose the boys or anything if that’s what you’re worried about,” Lexi said as they knocked on the door to the apartment.
“I know that. It’s just--”
“Lex, Suke, just give us a sec, Ana’s just grabbing her bag,” Yuki greeted the two females as she walked out of the apartment, shouting at Ana to hurry up.
“I’m coming!” Ana shouted back as she reached the door, bag over one shoulder and keys in one hand. She locked the apartment door behind her and the four made their way to the elevator and van parked outside.
“So how’d you manage to score Ricky’s van?” Yuki asked as they entered the elevator. Asuka looked at Lexi but she just shrugged, silently telling her that this is all her and she had nothing to do with it.
“Uhh…how do you know I have his van?” Asuka questioned.
“Well it’s kinda hard not to take notice of the only silver van parked on the streets, Suke,” Yuki replied matter-of-factly.
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh. So you gonna tell me how you got it ‘cause Ricky never lets you borrow his things, especially his, well his dad’s van.”
Asuka mentally cursed as she was not prepared for anyone, Yuki especially, to question how she obtained said vehicle. If Yuki knew that Asuka used her to get the van, she would never hear the end of it, and Ana and Lexi would stay far away from their argument.
“He…owes me a few things,” Asuka tried to say convincingly. Luckily Yuki stopped with the questions but she was still sceptical on how her friend obtained the van.
“So who are these friends from overseas of yours? How many of them are there?” Ana asked as the elevator came to a stop.
“Six--”
“And they’re all guys,” Lexi cut her off.
“I didn’t know you had that many guy friends Suke- wait, six guys. It can’t be--”
“2PM!” Asuka’s eyes widened at Ana’s exclaim and she placed a hand over the taller female’s mouth. Ana began to comment but it came out muffled due to Asuka’s hand still clasped over her mouth. She pulled it away and hit the shorter female on her arm, leaving a red mark on her bare skin.
“Ouch! What the hell!”
“Why didn’t you tell us?!” Ana shouted and gained a look from her roommate for being too loud in the apartment lobby. “What, aren’t you angry? It’s 2PM for heaven’s sake!”
“Look I’m sorry. I just…didn’t want you guys to go all fangirl-mode on them. They’re here on vacation, I assume. I never asked Khun why they came, but they get chased enough in Korea. I thought they should stay under the radar here,”
“Kpop isn’t that famous here,” Ana retorted.
“Still.”
There was a brief pause before the two females started throwing more comments at the shorter female and her roommate stood there trying to bite back a laugh but eventually helped back up Asuka.
As the two females left the van, the six occupants in the van remained quiet. Junsu had his music player plugged in, as did Wooyoung, Chansung was eating all the lollies the guys brought, Nichkhun was helping Junho out with some basic English and Taecyeon stared out the window, watching the various people and cars pass by.
“What are you planning on doing tomorrow?” Taecyeon heard Nichkhun ask to Junho in English. There was a pause before Junho replied.
“Uh…tomorrow is nae il1 right?” Junho replied in Korean, causing much laughter from his members. Nichkhun sighed and brought a palm to his face and shook his head, the other members still in a fit of laughter.
“Junho-yah, what do we do with you?” Taecyeon commented, patting the younger boy on the back.
“And you said you were good at English,” Chansung added, relating back to the Wild Bunny lie detector incident.
“I remember watching that episode. Very well man,” Wooyoung suddenly said followed by even more laughter and an annoyed Junho. He sighed and sunk further in his seat with a pout. Junsu patted the younger boy’s head from the back, trying to hold back a laugh but the large smile on his face told otherwise.
“Where is Suka-noona and Lexi-yang? They’re taking forever,” Junho muttered in a mixture of Korean and English.
“Yeah, it doesn’t take that long to pick up two people does it?”
“They are girls, Chansungie,” Nichkhun replied.
“Just saying,”
“Have you met them before, Khun-hyung?” Wooyoung asked the Thai. He turned around in his seat and leaned against the door to speak to both the occupants in the back and middle row.
“A couple of times. Last time was at Suka’s 20th this year. You know they’re Hottests too.”
“Really?!” The five all said at the same time, much to Nichkhun’s amusement.
“Who are their favourites?”
“They’re not stalker-fans right?”
“Are they single?”
Chansung, Junho and Junsu said at the same time respectively. Wooyoung began practicing his own English with Taecyeon, trying to master his pronunciation as he knew some basic phrases.
“No, they’re nothing to be scared off. If anything, I think they’re more scared of meeting you guys, but don’t worry, they won’t go making scandals and posting personal information about us,” Nichkhun replied calmly. “Wooyoung-ah, they do know conversational Korean.”
Wooyoung opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Taecyeon, which he secretly was thankful for. “Come on Khun, he just wants to impress the ladies with his English skills, right Udongie?” he wiggled his eyebrows at the younger male who shook his head, but agreed nonetheless with a nod.
“I think you’ll do just fine with the lady company, Wooyoung-ah. Junsu, not so much,”
“Yah!” the said male shouted back. “What’s that supposed to mean?!”
The others laughed while Junsu kept bugging Nichkhun who tried to explain the best he could about how the oldest was with females.
“You are so gonna pay, Asuka Lee. I’ll make sure of it.”
An angry voice from outside stopped the argument from inside the van and the six peered out the windows to see four females making their way towards the van.
“I’m sorry okay, Yuki. I didn’t know what else to do, how else are all ten of us supposed to get there?”
“I don’t know, have you heard of public transport?”
“I see why they took so long,” Chansung commented.
“Girls come on. This is supposed to be our weekend getaway.”
“Weekend getaway? Where are we staying, Lexi?”
“Don’t tell me we’re camping out?” Yuki stopped arguing with Asuka but directed most of her comment at her anyway.
“We’re camping?!” Six voices snapped the four females head towards the females’ direction and Asuka sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
“I thought I said no drawing attention to yourselves, and no, we are not camping. Hell no, you know how fond I am of outdoor…activities of the sort.”
“Then like Ana said where are we staying, Suka?” her roommate queried, silencing the other eight people.
“I never said about staying overnight anywhere,” Asuka said, weirdly embarrassed. Were her friends expecting an overnight trip?
“Well then let’s change that,” Ana said.
“Can we talk about it in the van, if we leave now we can beat the 3:00pm rush,” Asuka stated as she climbed into the driver’s seat. The others followed suit, piling into the back seats of the van.
Lexi walked over to the passenger side and found a taller, tanner male occupying her seat. “First come, first serve, Lexi,” Taecyeon poked his tongue out like a little kid and Lexi sent him a glare.
“Taecyeon-hyung, don’t be mean. Lexi-yang, you can sit in the back with me,” Junho flashed the female his signature smile, which Lexi found herself fawning over, but of course she couldn’t show that. She just sent him back a warm smile as he helped her into the van.
“Thanks,” she muttered as soon as she got in and he took a seat, awfully close next to her, but it was probably due to the space the maknae took up next to her.
“Why are you sitting shotgun, Taec?” Asuka asked as she pulled on her seatbelt and started the engine.
“Why not, Suka?” he replied in that low tone that made Asuka’s heart do odd things every time he used it, which was always considering that was always the case with her. Taecyeon stroked her exposed thigh lightly, only to get it slapped away from the female.
“Hey, no funny business up there! I don’t wanna die because Suke’s attention was all on you, Taec!” Nichkhun shouted from the very back earning a chorus of agreement from everyone else.
“Shut up, Khun!” Asuka chucked the neck pillow that was around the driver seat in his direction but landed on Wooyoung’s face instead.
“Nice aim,” Asuka ignored Taecyeon and proceeded to merge into traffic.
“Have they always been like that, Nichkhun?” Ana asked the male seated in between her and Junsu.
“Yeah, since the first time they got to know each other,” Nichkhun shook his head. “And Khun’s fine, drop the Nich,” he sent Ana a smile to which she quickly turned the other way to hide her blushing face. Although Chansung was her favourite, she found herself completely flustered in the Thai Prince’s presence.
“I’m Wooyoung. What is…your name?” Wooyoung asked slowly in English to the female seated next to him and the window.
“Yuki,” she placed out her hand for a handshake which he easily took. She found the male’s English cute and the way he puffed his cheeks out weren’t making it any easier for the female to go ahead and pinch them. “How long are you staying for?”
Wooyoung tilted his head in confusion and Yuki just chuckled before repeating the question clearer and slower.
“Uh, I think five or six days. We’re going back to Seoul then to Japan for promotions,”
“That’s not very long. We better make this break worth it then, Wooyoung,” she winked unknowingly and the male’s cheeks immediately reddened and he turned away embarrassed.
“Well the guys and your friends seemed to be getting along well, although your first impression beats theirs any day,” Taecyeon whispered in Asuka’s ears and it sent chills down her spine. She hated how he had this effect on her, and it didn’t help when she was concentrating on getting to a destination and remembering not to miss the turn.
Asuka swallowed hard as she pushed Taecyeon away, but Taecyeon was just enjoying teasing her way too much.
“You know--”
“Lexi, it’s the next left right?” Asuka cut Taecyeon off before he could start, but he wasn’t going to let the female win.
“I haven’t been back in a long time, oh yeah it is,” Lexi stopped mid conversation with Junho.
“Cool, thanks.” Asuka almost lost her train of thought when she felt Taecyeon’s fingers, slowly trailing up and down her bare arm and she gripped the steering wheel even tighter to prevent herself from giving into him.
She coughed and let out a loud sigh, “Woah is it hot in here or is it just me?” Asuka said to no one in particular as she rolled down the window a little bit for some fresh air even though the airconditioning was on.
“It is a little hot isn’t it?” Taecyeon commented and lifted his tank top up and down as if to fan himself. Asuka was completely aware of what he was doing and tried to not look down, but her wandering eyes got the better of her and caused her to grip the wheel tighter if that was even possible.
She licked her lips by habit and although it was unintentional, it was driving Taecyeon insane. He wanted to lick those lips for her and capture that tongue in his mouth. When she began to chew on her lip, it chipped away even more of Taecyeon’s self-control as he just wanted her to stop the car and kiss her, hard.
“Finally,” Asuka mumbled as she parked the car and undid her seatbelt, “we’re here people!”
“I’m hungry,” Chansung whined, earning giggles from the girls, except for Asuka, and sighs from his hyungs.
“Wow, the maknae truly is always hungry,” Yuki commented.
“We don’t lie about who we are, Yuki,” Wooyoung replied and Yuki smiled inwardly at how much his English had improved in the short twenty minute drive, during which Yuki happily accepted Wooyoung’s request of helping with his English vocabulary.
“Who’s up for ice cream? The ice cream here is…jjang2!” The members smiled at Ana’s use of Korean and Nichkhun gave her a thumbs up, to which she just acknowledged with a small nod.
“Let’s go!” Junho exclaimed and the group made their way across the road to the infamous ice cream parlour this place was known for.
…
Once entering the ice cream parlour, it was no surprise Wooyoung went straight up to the counter to gawk at all the different flavours, dragging his new friend Yuki along with him. Nichkhun and Asuka shared a knowing look but decided to keep their thoughts to themselves.
“I can have three scoops! How big are they?” Chansung asked.
“Around about this size,” Lexi made a circle the width of her palm and the maknae’s eyes lightened up immediately. He went to join Wooyoung and Yuki at the counter and decided to place an order.
“Three scoops is a lot you know,” Ana said.
“Yes, but this is Chansung we’re talking about,” Ana looked at Nichkhun in confusion. “You’ll see,”
“Yah,” Junsu hit Taecyeon lightly on the arm with the back of his hand like he always did, “what should I get?” Taecyeon gave him a slightly annoyed look. “What?” Taecyeon sighed and just approached the counter.
“What’s up with him?”
“You know he’s never been here so I don’t think he would know, Junsu,” Asuka commented from behind him, an ice cream already in hand. “The coffee-toffee one’s good,” she suggested. Junsu just gave a nod and joined the rest at the counter.
After receiving their ice creams, the group moved to a picnic bench, finding shade underneath a large tree away from the burning sun.
“Junho-oppa, it’s dripping,” Lexi pointed out, not realising she called Junho “oppa” until after she said it.
“Huh? Oh, thanks,” he replied and licked the dripping chocolate chip ice cream down his arm. Lexi couldn’t seem to take her eyes of the motion Junho was doing but a kick under the table from Yuki snapped her out of it.
Taecyeon stared at Asuka as she slowly wrapped her tongue around the ice cream topping and licking her lips in the process. There was a spot at the bottom of her lip that he had been tempted to lick off, but didn’t want to make the company around them awkward.
Her eyes met his and she raised an eyebrow, her mouth still consuming the cold cone she was holding. “What?” she stopped and there was another spot that she had failed to remove of ice cream on her bottom lip.
Taecyeon moved forward until his face was inches away from hers but stopped himself from going any further when he remembered they had other company. Instead of licking those lips for her that he had wanted to do so badly, he brought his thumb up to her lip and hovered above the spot for a few seconds.
The other eight looked on intently. It was like watching a drama and although they did not need to see the two protagonists, which so happened to be their close friends make out, they were intrigued on what Taecyeon was going to do.
Taecyeon brushed his thumb on the bottom of her lip softly and slowly, removing the ice cream, and bringing the thumb to his own mouth and licking it up. Asuka’s eyes were fixed on all his actions as she felt herself freeze and lick her own lips as if she wanted him to do to her.
He licked as lips and sat back down in his seat, “Mmm~ caramel,” his voice was husky and completely directed at her.
Asuka clenched her fist under the table, holding a tissue as she tried to finish the rest of her ice cream in peace but she was so aware of how she was eating it, especially with Taecyeon watching her, that she felt like she was about to lose it any moment now.
The others exchanged looks and shrugs as they watched their two friends interact and had a feeling that the two wouldn’t be able to tease and keep up the charade for very long.
“I give them until we get home,” Junsu said.
“Couple hours maybe,” Lexi added.
“Nah, until we’re all finished eating,” Nichkhun replied.

After receiving their ice creams, the group moved to a picnic bench, finding shade underneath a large tree away from the burning sun.
“Junho-oppa, it’s dripping,” Lexi pointed out, not realising she called Junho “oppa” until after she said it.
“Huh? Oh, thanks,” he replied and licked the dripping chocolate chip ice cream down his arm. Lexi couldn’t seem to take her eyes of the motion Junho was doing but a kick under the table from Yuki snapped her out of it.
Taecyeon stared at Asuka as she slowly wrapped her tongue around the ice cream topping and licking her lips in the process. There was a spot at the bottom of her lip that he had been tempted to lick off, but didn’t want to make the company around them awkward.
Her eyes met his and she raised an eyebrow, her mouth still consuming the cold cone she was holding. “What?” she stopped and there was another spot that she had failed to remove of ice cream on her bottom lip.
Taecyeon moved forward until his face was inches away from hers but stopped himself from going any further when he remembered they had other company. Instead of licking those lips for her that he had wanted to do so badly, he brought his thumb up to her lip and hovered above the spot for a few seconds.
The other eight looked on intently. It was like watching a drama and although they did not need to see the two protagonists, which so happened to be their close friends make out, they were intrigued on what Taecyeon was going to do.
Taecyeon brushed his thumb on the bottom of her lip softly and slowly, removing the ice cream, and bringing the thumb to his own mouth and licking it up. Asuka’s eyes were fixed on all his actions as she felt herself freeze and lick her own lips as if she wanted him to do to her.
He licked as lips and sat back down in his seat, “Mmm~ caramel,” his voice was husky and completely directed at her.
Asuka clenched her fist under the table, holding a tissue as she tried to finish the rest of her ice cream in peace but she was so aware of how she was eating it, especially with Taecyeon watching her, that she felt like she was about to lose it any moment now.
The others exchanged looks and shrugs as they watched their two friends interact and had a feeling that the two wouldn’t be able to tease and keep up the charade for very long.
“I give them until we get home,” Junsu said.
“Couple hours maybe,” Lexi added.
“Nah, until we’re all finished eating,” Nichkhun replied.
