Incomplete trip

Victoria's POV

"Soobin, thank you", I said quietly hugging him taking him by surprise and I wonder if he was uncomfortable with that but he hugged me back. " No thank yous and sorry Between friends", he smiled.

Currently, we were in a lakeside area. I don't know I always love this kind of places. Lake surrounded by trees, quiet and calming. "Let's eat", Soobin said excitedly. I smiled at his reaction. We decided to sit on the bench not too far from the lake and started eating. Soobin was munching happily on his bread while I dug in my pasta.

" You know too much bread isn't good for health", I said looking over to Soobin who looked at bread as his first love." You know speaking while eating is bad manners", he shot back. This boy loves bread and there's no end for it.

"So when are you returning to Korea? ", he asked. " I don't know maybe the day after tomorrow since my parents want me to meet our family doctor since you know... I can forget n stuff", I spoke trying my best not to sound depressed. His mouth formed an O before munching his bread again.

After lunch, I wanted to take a walk around the lake but Soobin kept whining because he hates moving. "Stop being a baby come on let's lose some fats", I said pulling him along with me. " You know you can lose calories while sitting too", he said and I rolled my eyes.

For some reason, I was running behind Soobin. Ok, the reason is that he took an ugly picture of mine while I wasn't looking and he's not ready to delete them.

"Choi Soobin I hate you!! ", I yelled trying to catch up with him. Suddenly a dog jumped on him tackling him to the ground and licking his whole face. I stood there laughing and amused at the same time.

"Looks like the dog likes you", I laughed as the owner's voice came from behind me. I turned around to see a lady in her mid-40s standing there and you wouldn't guess she's in her 40s if it wasn't for the slight wrinkles across her face.

"Awwww", I cooed at their cuteness as he handled the dog with care and love. He was just too cute. "Take a picture it will last longer", he said cockily noticing my intense stare and instead of looking away I actually pulled out my phone to take a picture of him. He was taken back but then smiled for the picture. Instead, I decided on taking the picture when the dog decided to flip them over and once again started licking Soobin.

This was just so pure!! I smiled and took a few pics and locked my phone before the dog jumped around making me land on top of Soobin. " Allen you notorious boy!", the lady said trying to get hold of the notorious dog. "I'm sorry about him he just got really excited", she said and I smiled embarrassedly at my current position.

" it's totally fine, he's really cute", I said not realizing I stressed on 'cute'. "You guys are so cute together. Wish you all the happiness ", the lady said laughing and walking off with her dog before we could explain that we weren't really dating.

" You know I kinda not wanna be on the grass where some animals may or may not have excreted", Soobin said and  I quickly got off him realizing we were still in the awkward position receiving "couple" looks from the few onlookers. "Shit! I'm so sorry!", I said fixing my clothes as he got up.

He chuckled and began to walk towards the car as I followed behind him with burning cheeks. We reached the hospital to see everyone sighing a breath of relief. " Seems everyone was here except the patient herself", I chuckled and the air seemed to relax, which I was grateful for.

"Victoria, I kind of wanted to talk to you", Cole said and I followed him outside the hospital. " Mom and dad wanted to shift outside Seoul... You know for your health and stuff", he said not sure if I would approve the decision. "Cole, I know I asked for many things till today and I want to ask for another favour... I don't wanna shift... Please... ", I said not knowing what came over me. I dared not to ask myself the reason afraid it was because of a certain someone.

" But-- what if something happens when you remember?", he said not convinced enough to take my side. "I can't keep running from it plus if I stay in Seoul I'll be able to help you all in the headquarter and don't you dare to tell me that you will do everything on your own and you guys don't need my help cause hell I can see you overworking yourself day and night with no rest and telling me to take a chill like you have no rights to say that whatsoever and I don't care if you are worried about my health or whatever because I sure as hell am not going to sit ideal doing nothing but wait to be married off to some guy who can support my non-productive ass!", I rapped in one breath and his eyes went wide trying to register my talks before returning to his composed self.

" Fine I get the point, but you owe me big time for this!", he said and I squeaked like a teenage girl (which I was but oh well) before throwing my arms around his shoulder and hugging him. He hugged me back giving out a hearty laugh as I did my silly victory dance (whose existence, by the way, was only known by two of us).

————————————

"See you in Seoul", I said bidding my goodbyes to Soobin and other 4 boys. Karen insisted to let me stay with her for another day so my parents went back the day before. " You know I really wish to finish my project and come to Korea with you", Karen sighed again for the nth time today.

"You ain't gonna die without me for a few months plus we can always call", I said hugging her for the last time before teasing her, "Also don't make babies before marriage". I laughed as she turned red. Wow, it's such a rare scene to see her red. " Shut up!", she protested which only caused KyungMi and me to laugh harder.

"Oh please let's stop acting like you guys feel nothing for Soobin and Yeonjun", she snapped back and I surrendered my hand in the air dramatically whereas KyungMi seemed flushed. " wait!!! Omgomgomgomg!!! Kyung fucking Mi!!!!! What are you hiding???", I yelled along with Karen receiving attention from the passersby.

I mouthed a small sorry to all of them before turning my full attention to KyungMi. "Fine that mint toothpaste n I kinda may it may not have, knowingly or unknowingly --", she was cut off by MiMi. " To the point", she said sharply. "Fine, we kissed!! Are you happy??", she sighed and we both gave each other a knowing look and giving high fives. "Whennnnnn?", we both asked. Of course details...

" I'm not telling you guys now STFU or ill disown your asses", she joked and laughed before finally parting and going for my flight.
