The 3 Musketeers

Hello again! It is a bittersweet thing to say this will be our last post from New Zealand. We have had an absolutely wonderful time here and in part don’t want it to be over, but we are also ready to move on to our next adventure in Australia. We are looking forward to a little bit of routine and stability, as well as a new landscape to explore in a new van!!

The last time we checked in we had just finished the Kepler Track and were waiting to meet up with some friends of mine. We left Lake Dunstan and headed through a deep river/reservoir gorge between Cromwell and Alexandra to go see my college best friend, Camille, and her boyfriend, Aaron. They had been picking cherries and training young trees for about 7 weeks and when we arrived they had just finished their stint on the orchard. A lot of people here get a working holiday visa which allows them to stay for up to a year, and up to 2 years if 3 months of farm work is completed. Camille and Aaron were pretty sick of Alexandra so we headed out into the hills of Otago to camp for a few nights at a cool secluded freedom camp they knew of called St. Bathan’s place.

We spent 3 nights in St. Bathan’s and had a blast. It was situated around a bunch of cattle grazing pastures nearby to an old abandoned gold mine. The gold mining operation had left a large pit in the ground which over the decades filled up with rainwater and is now a lovely lake! We spent our first night there hanging out with Camille and Aaron and catching up on all of their adventures. We stayed up late into the night, having a few drinks, and freezing our toes off. It got really cold but we persisted in staying up and enjoying the amazing array of stars. We got full views of the milky way and it was definitely the best stargazing we’ve done during the trip. The next day we walked over to the lake and spent the day basking in the sun, listening to music, and climbing the fragile cliffs and jumping back down into the lake! We made dinner together and had another night of hanging out and listening to hilarious stories about Ireland, where Aaron is from. 

The next day was very gloomy and we spent most of the day watching The Mandalorian in our van, great show, highly recommend. It cleared up in the evening and Camille and I were treated to a few impromptu duets from Bryn and Aaron once he had enough whisky to bust out his guitar. 

The next day we left St. Bathan’s and went back to Alexandra to hang out at a lake nearby to the orchard Camille and Aaron worked on. It was an awesome lake with cool waterbirds and big cliffs all around. We hung out on the beach for a while and attempted our highest cliff jumping of the trip (~40 feet). It was a beautiful day and after taking care of some final logistical things in town, we all set out to a freedom camp in that river/reservoir gorge we came into town through called Champagne Gully. We enjoyed a last dinner together before going our separate ways the next morning. It was so much fun to see an old friend and spend a few days socializing, Bryn and I aren’t sick of each other but having other people around is nice sometimes :). 

The next morning was my birthday! Woohoo. We spent the beginning of the day at a cafe so I could watch my favorite soccer team, Manchester United, play my least favorite soccer team, Chelsea. Since it was my birthday they made sure to win for me :). We had some lovely drinks and treats at the cafe to celebrate and then headed to Queenstown to shower at the free service station. Bryn had planned a special dinner/activity for my birthday but wouldn’t tell me what it was, just that we had to be in Queenstown that evening. After hanging at the service station and talking to my fam, we drove into downtown. We parked the car and walked along the docks until we reached a famous old steamship, the TSS Earnslaw and Bryn finally let me in on the secret - we were taking a steamboat cruise across Lake Wakatipu to a traditional farm for a gourmet all-you-can-eat bbq dinner. The cruise was beautiful and we stood out on the front deck while we braved the wind and enjoyed the view. The farm was immaculate and definitely used for private functions and weddings from time to time. There were tons of flower gardens and a cool old Victorian style house where dinner was served. We got a lovely table overlooking the water and treated ourselves to a little bit of everything they had to offer. I think I went back to the buffet 4 or 5 times and was very, very full by the end of it. After dinner they did a demonstration in this cool outdoor amphitheater of how they shear sheep as well as a live demonstration of their herding dogs herding a flock of sheep down a hill. The control of the dogs was incredible, using different pitched whistles to signal them to stalk, bark, run, stop etc. There were two dogs were highly adept in working together and it was an awesome learning experience. After that we got back on the boat and headed back across the lake. There was a piano singalong of old folk songs in the back of the boat and Bryn and I sat right up by the piano in the heart of the diehard geriatric singers and sang our voices hoarse - there were some people that were suuuuper into it and it was really fun and hilarious to be a part of. Bryn even requested happy birthday at the end and I got a nice birthday serenade from a bunch of strangers :). 

The next day I got a wonderful belated birthday present :). My sister Madeline flew across the world to come visit us for 9 days. She arrived in the late afternoon and our first day we shopped for a few things, made a nice dinner in our Airbnb, and rested up so she could get over the jet lag quickly. The next morning we got up early and headed into town to kick off the festivities. We found a really good deal on a 3 person parasailing over Lake Wakatipu. It was such an amazing view as we were towed up behind a boat over the lake and a really fun way to kick things off. After our morning parasailing ride we walked around Queenstown and did a little bit of shopping before heading into the public flower gardens along the lake. After a lot of walking and minorly sore feet we decided to stop for lunch at a famous local restaurant called Fergberger. We got ourselves a meat pie, a burger, and the NZ version of a Boston creme donut. All of them were fantastic and a special treat, as we normally don’t eat meat or dairy. 

We had planned to do a cruise on Milford sound the next day but the landslides had destroyed the roads and still were not open to personal vehicles. We didn’t want to spend ~250 dollars for a commercial coach and cruise upgrade option so we made a change of plans and headed back to Wanaka where Bryn and I spent a few days a couple of weeks back. We went back to some cool cliff jumping and lazy river spots we found and stayed at a huge open campground in the woods and made friends with a bike packer named Karl. He serenaded a family of ducks with his flute and he and Madeline were fast friends! 

The next day we headed north up to Mt. Cook. We planned to go all the way up into Mt. Cook National Park but when we arrived the weather was very clouded and drizzly so we decided to wait until the next morning for better weather and camped at a lake. We made an amazing dinner of portabella mushroom burgers and red kumara (like a sweet potato) fries and snuggled up in the van to play a rousing game of monopoly. As monopoly always does, the game dragged on quite a bit, and I won by forfeiture - me and my sisters play monopoly back home so it was a really fun throwback game night. The next morning we got up early and drove an hour or so into the national park. We made a first stop and did a 3 km hike up to an overlook of the Tasman glacier. It was the first time Madeline had seen a glacier so that was really cool, and the views of the mountains were absolutely gorgeous. We continued up the road to its end where there were hundreds of cars/vans parked at the staging camp for a plethora of hikes. We opted not to join in on the difficult and crowded trails but just hung out, had some snacks, and enjoyed the view of NZ’s tallest mountain. After we left we had a hefty driving day and made it a long way south to yet another lakeside campground. 

The next day we drove even further south to the town of Bluff. We had spent the last 3 nights staying at freedom camps in our van - we had to pitch a tent as well because the van really only has space for 2 people - and were a bit weary of the cold and loneliness accompanying being alone out in the tent so we booked some more cheap Airbnb’s. The Airbnb in Bluff was really nice and after driving to the end of the peninsula at the end of NZ we utilized the real kitchen space to make an Italian feast of salad, gnocchi and vegetarian bolognese sauce, and garlic bread (and a little bit of wine). 

The next day we drove through the Catlins, a large forested area of southern New Zealand stopping along the way at some really cool natural features. We went to two different waterfall areas which each boasted multiple waterfalls and took in the beauty and got some great pictures. We stopped for a couple hours in a small town called Owaka so Madeline could take an online test back home which she took at the local library - after that we did a little souvenir shopping before heading to Jack’s Blowhole. After a sizable walk we made it to the blowhole, which was over 600 feet inland and nearly 400 feet deep! It was really crazy to see the tides flow in and out and spray up, we got there at high tide so it was in ideal form. After that we headed to Kaka Point, a small beautiful seaside town where we got another Airbnb up on the cliffs. Our host, Mary Jo, was super nice and gave us some good advice of what to do around there and let us play with her Red Heeler, Matty. I don’t have enough dogs in my life… :( The next morning we woke up very early to go to a lighthouse ~15 min away for sunrise. Madeline was in a sleepy stupor and was unable to rouse herself so Bryn and I made the journey on our own. It was really nice to be out in the early morning hours and we got some absolutely amazing views at Nugget Point. There were large rock outcropping all around the peninsula that looked like nugget of gold (or chicken). It was a lovely morning, despite a cloudy and slightly underwhelming sunrise. After going back to the Airbnb and making breakfast, we headed back through the Catlins to stop at some of the spots we didn’t have time to see on the first pass. We went to the famous Purakaunui falls as well as Curio bay. Curio bay had a petrified forest outcropping along the sea that is now home to the rarest species of penguin in the world. We were graced with a lucky sighting of the 2019 bird of the year, the Hoiho (noisy in Maori) or Yellow-eyed penguin. We were able to get reasonably close and watch it hang out along in petrified forest rocks. We went to a cafe afterwards and had some really nice snacks before heading to Weir Beach. We camped in a big open field along the ocean at the farthest south point in all of NZ this night and luckily, it wasn’t all that cold. 

The next morning we got up early and drove to Dunedin for our final day together. We got to our Airbnb and after taking showers we went into town. We walked around town a bit, stopping in some art galleries and cool shops to get a few souvenirs. We got a gelato in the main square downtown and played ping pong in the park for a while. Afterwards we went to the Black Dog, a chic restaurant bar for a final meal together. We shared cream of tomato soup as a starter and a chocolate mousse for dessert, along with our individual entrees of course - it was a really nice last supper together. We headed back to the Airbnb and hung out and snuggled before going to bed. We got up and drove to the airport the next morning for Madeline’s very early flight - I was very sad to say goodbye to her but am so thankful she came. I miss her and my family a lot so it meant a lot to me that she came all this way to see me. <3 

After we said goodbye to Madeline we packed up and did a long haul drive up to Christchurch where we are now. We will be in Christchurch for another ~2 weeks trying to sell our van and then we will head to Australia!!! Wish us luck selling the van, we might need it! :) 

Expect our best,

Christopher and Bryn

Home town visit

Pairing: Taehyung x Reader, Yoongi x Reader

Genre: Angst / Fluffy start / One sided love /

Authors note: //example// this means she’s talking over the phone

Reader’s P.O.V.

I huff feeling a bit bored. Glancing down, I step over and onto the sidewalk, as we’ve crossed the road. My gaze takes me to the three boys all chatting enthusiastically between one another, meanwhile I silently trail behind them watching happily as he smiles and fools around happily with his friends ever since we’ve came into his home town.

And I didn’t mind that one bit, because it’s so nice seeing him smile and be so free and careless. Be himself truly. Not the idol everyone sees him be, but just Taehyung a simple boy from Daegu. Hanging out with his friends and girlfriend. The two boys weren’t as timid as I’d expected them to be, like most of the people I’ve met since coming to live to Korea. They immediately started interrogating me which I didn’t mind one bit, replying back sassily making them laugh and tease me more.

But of course, once the three started to talk about something from the past and with they’re proper accent I was left clueless at first, trying to figure out what it was all about and then just gave up, getting on my phone. When we reached the main part of the city at first Taehyung did try to drag me into the conversation but then his boyish side came out as he eagerly stepped to the two friends, messing around with them. They are still chatting enthusiastically discussing something.

Like I said I don’t mind that one bit, it’s just that I’m bored more or less. Because the city as its new to me, there is so much you can do when you’re walking slowly, from street to street. But as they know where we are going the pace of our walking isn’t necessarily slow. And I’m really not planning on getting lost tonight. Besides we have to meet Yoongi and his friend.

We’ve arranged to hang out. I don’t mind meting more people. Or hanging out with them. If they’re going to actually talk to me. Okay now I just sound grumpy. Which apparently, I am. I huff glancing down at my phone again, quickly replying back to my friend her comment making me snort as my fingers quickly move over the keyboard. I raise my phone up just in time as Taehyung turns around.

‘’What are you doing back there?’’ he asks as his friends step forward still in the middle of a debate while I slow my step with Taehyung who smiles at me brightly and offers me his hand ‘’Walk next to me jagi.’’ He says, eagerly taking my hand as I switch my phone into my other hand ‘’So how do you like Daegu?’’ he asks smiling as we start walking.

‘’It’s nice.’’ I reply offering a smile ‘’Less crowded than Seoul.’’ I add scrunching my nose as he chuckles and nods.

‘’Surrounded by nature! Not here but…mainly everywhere else.’’ He says proudly while I nod.

‘’Just…’’ he perks up as I grin ‘’Wouldn’t mind the sea to be closer though.’’ I add to which he looks surprised a lopsided smile settling on his face.

‘’The sea?’’ he asks voice curious.

‘’Uh huh. I like rivers or the sea, to be near. It just…like it.’’ I explain poorly but he listens to me patiently eagerly tugging me to walk closer with him.

‘’You’re adorable.’’ He states his words making me blush, to which I reply back by showing him my tongue instead, causing him to giggle at me.

‘’You two are disgusting.’’  Jae speaks up making me glance forward while Taehyung leans down to press a kiss against my cheek. Both boys have come to a stop.

‘’Disgustingly adorable yes.’’ I shoot back as he frowns rolling his eyes turning around while Kihyun chuckles falling in step with us walking next to Tae, while Jae or known as Youngjae, walks next to me.

‘’So how long have you been together? Our Taehyungie here didn’t tell us anything!’’ Kihyun goes on teasingly while my boyfriend snorts nudging him slightly.

‘’You’re asking the wrong person.’’ Taehyung replies while I grin at the confused look the other boy gives us.

‘’I’m bad with dates.’’ I say simply ‘’I forgot my dad’s birthday. Not once.’’ My boyfriend laughs at that again while the other boy raises his eyebrows up.

‘’Another reason why this is going to be a disaster!!’’ Jae speaks up.

‘’Don’t be rude!’’ Taehyung calls out while I roll my eyes.

‘’Universal catastrophe.’’ I announce, making the boys look at me in disbelief, while Taehyung turns his glare as well at me. His friends remain too stunned to comment on anything to which I smirk proudly turning to face my boyfriend instead.

‘’Is this any way to treat your boyfriend?’’ he asks me all serious and upset while I smirk wider.

‘’No.’’ I reply cheerfully leaning up pressing a peck onto his cheek, my phone now making Jae jump as it starts to ring loudly. The melody starts of with the singer screaming.

‘’Oh, my goodness…what is that?’’ he exclaims while I raise my phone, seeing Yoongi’s grumpy face set as the caller ID.

‘’Led Zepplin. Doh.’’ I reply back swiping to answer the call.

//What do you want punk? // I reply with a grin turning forward, as Taehyung laughs nudging me gently.

‘’Isn’t Yoongi-sunbae older than she is?’’ I hear Kihyun ask.

//We’re walking, what you won’t die if you wait a minute or two more! // I snap at the grumpy boy on the other line already complaining.

‘’A full year yes. She doesn’t care. She scolds Jin hyung and even manager hyung if she thinks she’s right and what they did is wrong.’’ Taehyung says with a shrug and bit of pride while I bit my lower lip as I look forward.

//…I’m telling your mom. // I interrupt the older boys rant now all three of the boys watching me in silence //That’s what I thought…we are…// I frown turning to look at Taehyung who points forward.

‘’2 blocks away.’’ He says with a smile.

//2 blocks away. And yes, you’re paying, okay byeeeeeeeeeee!!!// I quickly end the call before the rapper can explode on me. With a smirk I turn to Taehyung ‘’He’s already there waiting.’’ I say quickly while he grins at me.

‘’You’re amazing.’’

*A few moments later, at the café*

Min Yoongi P.O.V.

‘’Can you at least pretend to be cultured and have manners of a normal human being?’’

‘’Can you not be so annoying for once in your life?’’ I snap back glaring down at the glaring smaller girl, while I can hear the other boys snicker at us.

‘’Guys calm down, we just got here!’’ Taehyung laughs while I pull the chair out, avoiding the shorter girl as I slip of the light jacket I decided to wear while she pulls her chair out her gaze still focused on me. She just had to pick the chair next to mine.

‘’Won’t be staying for too long it seems.’’ Kihyun calls out grinning as I huff shaking my head while we sit down around the table, in the cafe we stepped into as nobody is hungry for real food. Only sweets.

‘’If we’re getting kicked out we all know whose fault it is.’’ I speak as I sit down and a moment later, I get kicked to the side of my leg, to which I let out a yelp, reaching for abused area turning to glare at the girl that’s glaring right back at me while our friends are laughing at us loudly meanwhile my band mate is holding both her hands in an attempt to stop her from hurting me more.

‘’Seriously.’’ She starts.

‘’Oh, hi hello!!!’’ Taehyung now speaks up making her turn towards him, as he’s turned to the guy that works here to which we all greet him politely the tension broken for the time being.

‘’How may I help you?’’ he asks overly polite, but his look ends up on the only girl, between 5 of us guys. I glance at her wanting to see if she noticed it, but her focus is on her phone; she’s completely oblivious to his look. So, he turns to Taehyung that just starts to babble, Hyungwon my friend just joining in along adding things from the menu he’s holding. I silently nod along as my friend just orders for me. Meanwhile I can’t help myself but to be curious as I glance at the girl sitting next to me. Taehyung politely asks her what would she like to get, but she ends up with furrowed brows staring at him. He asked her that in heavy Daegu accent of course she’s lost.

‘’Do you want cake or no?’’ I ask in the Seoul accent as she turns to me truly looking puzzled.

‘’She’s not from here?’’ the waiter asks curiously.

‘’Um I don’t know?’’ she replies back timidly and in English while I smirk ready to switch to English to talk to her and use the chance to brag a bit with my newfound skill that I’m still developing.

‘’You speak English?’’ the waiter asks and the girl turns to him my mood dampening instantly.

‘’Um, yes way better than Korean.’’ She replies back easily, while my smirk falters as I glare up at the waiter who grins widely. I don’t like his attitude and the manner he’s speaking with her.

‘’I was asking what kind of desert would you like.’’ He goes on overly polite.

‘’Oh, you’re good.’’ Taehyung goes on oblivious to the looks from the guys. Even his friends give him strange looks at his innocent demander ‘’What?’’ he asks eyes landing on me while his girlfriend continues to chat with the boy who nods and writes things down onto his notepad but keeps a smile on eyes always slightly to eagerly landing on her while his smile is a tad bit too bright and friendly.

‘’Okay then. I’ll be right back with everything.’’ He says offering a bright smile sent specifically to the girl who nods, and glances at her beeping phone on the table, while we all look at Taehyung, that’s leaning closer to her curiously eyes cast down to the small device in her hands.

‘’No.’’ she says closing it off and smirks as she glances at him turning her head away. I scoff at her reaction, turning to my friend instead as we all fall into comfortable chatter. Until the waiter is back with our orders, coming two times to deliver everything. Yet the second round, he takes his time in placing the order in front of the girl. He’s being very obvious. Doesn’t even freak out when he meets my glare, just smirks wider as the girl next to me laughs.

‘’Aish, why are you so loud? Who lacks culture and manners now?’’ I speak up, trying to get her attention away from the grinning boy. Because her boyfriend isn’t picking up on anything. Like she isn’t either. Because it’s the way she is, nice to everyone. Its why they are good together.

She immediately turns around to glare at me ‘’What’s your problem?’’ she snaps while I smirk instead leaning closer to look at the desert before her.

‘’Is that chocolate?’’ I ask instead spoon already in my hand as I reach for her desert, taking a small piece of it.

‘’Hyung!’’ Taehyung now speaks up, the waiter watching us his furrowed eyebrows, while I place the spoon into my mouth but look at the girl that’s giving me an annoyed look.

‘’Its good.’’ I reply neutrally, and reach forward for more but her hand cuts me off pushing me back.

‘’I’ll chop your arm off.’’ she speaks clearly with a low tone. The others snicker before they all burst into laughter, while I pull my hand back glaring down at her.

‘’So, violet.’’ I mutter glancing at Taehyung who’s turned to the waiter that’s still at our table.

‘’…thank you.’’ He greets him off turning to his desert while the boy turns towards Y/N that’s focused on her phone again furiously typing something in. I make a show of straightening up and raising an eyebrow as I look at him. He smiles awkwardly bowing his head down before he rushes and walks away. Okay maybe I’m being a bit too harsh, but he needs to be less bald like this with something simple as giving looks. Silently I turn to my desert everyone joining in with praises for the deserts and the drinks everyone ordered. The atmosphere gets calmer and more relaxed, having everyone laughing freely and openly joke around.

‘’Excuse me.’’ I watch as the younger girl gets up and then maneuvers herself from us, across the cafe. I don’t miss the guy who served us curiously watching her from the counter, while she goes to the bathroom.

‘’Aish seriously Taehyung where did you pick her up?’’ Jae complains siting on his chair laid back but his attention is on his friend, everyone now glancing at us while I continue to eat my cake in peace.

‘’Be nice!’’ Kihyun adds teasingly, while I snort to myself.

‘’She’s very humble and nice. Sweet but also puts you into your place huh?’’ Hyungwon adds in a calm done. Glancing at him he has a small knowing smile on his face make me look at him amused and unimpressed with his attitude. I may have told him a few things about her and what happened. He is my best friend. But my eyes snap to Taehyung who grins perking up.

‘’She is amazing.’’ Taehyung agrees while I scoff.

‘’She’s really not.’’ I add on to which he gives me a glare.

‘’Hyung.’’ He complains.

‘’What’s so special about her anyway?’’ Jae asks still not impressed as he straightens up Kihyun next to him smirking ‘’From how you guys are talking about her; she’s way to perfect.’’

‘’She is.’’ Taehyung nods while I shake my head.

‘’She’s annoying.’’ I add on ‘’Seriously, she says anything that lies on her mind calls you names, buys you shit on her own for us without asking, goes the length to cook a 10-course meal only for us and goes through the bother of bringing it to the company, she even stays up late reminding us to sleep and eat, and she sometimes knows how to write professional proper songs better than I do, she’s so annoying.’’ I end up glaring at Taehyung who’s smiling to himself while the silence at the table stretches out shortly.

Hyungwon whistles ‘’Someone has a crush.’’ He sings making my eyes widen as I glare at him now, straightened up ready to strike him over his head in warning to which he flinches back still smiling but the three other boys start laughing instead, while my best friend smirks at me.

‘’Nobody could melt Hyung’s cold heart but I think Y/N did it. No offence hyung.’’ Jae goes on bowing his head to me, to which I grip the fork making a show of it while he goes to hide behind Kihyun.

‘’You got yourself some competition, there buddy.’’ Kihyun turns to Taehyung whose shaking his head, arms crossed resting over the table ‘’You confident in your win?’’

At that he glances at me smirking, while I lower my hand glaring at the still smug boy. Fear is prickling up picking at my nerves; the fear of them…of Taehyung finding out about my crush. Because it’s fucking true, as much as I don’t want it to be. The girl is truly infuriating, and at times I want to kill her (not literally). But she’s also someone I really admire, because of her strength and passion towards the things she loves and people she cares about.

‘’Got it in the bag.’’ Taehyung goes on ‘’Because number 1…’’ he starts counting while I glance past the four of them towards the bathroom area. Y/N is actually standing before the counter, with a few people at the side of the counter waiting for her while the waiter from before is grinning again as he talks to her, while she lulls from one foot to another. She’s restless.

‘’Number 2, she’s already dating me…’’ Taehyung goes on confidently. Silently I get up, Hyungwon watching me but remains silent as I step past him and make my way towards the girl, pulling my face mask up.

‘’…I would appreciate so much.’’ I hear the boy say and watch as he slides over a piece of paper across the counter towards her.

‘’Yeah sure, no problem I’ll look at it.’’ she finishes while I place my hand over her back making her jump slightly but look up at me while she takes the paper with a phone number written on it and something else like a name too.

‘’Oppa.’’ She says with relief as I continue to glare at the boy whose smile falters a bit. I try not to let the nickname get to me. because she only calls Jin hyung that. ever since the two of us met we’ve been at each other throats. So, whenever she calls me Oppa is most likely because she’s trying to make a fool out of me. but deep down I love it when she calls me that.

‘’We’re heading out.’’ I lie quickly ‘’Is everything alright?’’ I can’t help but to glare at the boy, keeping my voice even and calm.

‘’Yeah just paid so we can go.’’ I’m about to say something snarky at the boy not to flirt when working or with an obviously taken girl, but the words fall as I turn to her with a glare.

‘’I was supposed to pay.’’ I state while she smirks, and slips her wallet into the pocket of the pants she’s wearing. She shrugs at me her smile lopsided. Why is she so annoyingly cute?

‘’To late.’’ She teases nudging me, my hand falling from her back so I cross my arms glaring at her ‘’Don’t be grumpy…’’

‘’Excuse me.’’ a girl speaks over making me glance at the group of girls on our left. I panic for a moment, because they’re watching us excitedly trying to remain calm. It’s not working for them that much. This is the last thing we need, fans. I don’t mean it in a bad way, but we’re alone here which means no security or anything and things can escalade quickly. Plus, I have no makeup on. It’s hard to say no to, fans like this. To see the disappointment afterwards.

‘’Yes?’’ Y/N asks but they’re eyes are focused onto me.

‘’Are you Suga? From Bangtan?’’ the girl persists. Y/N turns to me quickly and the girl.

‘’Suga?! What’s Bangtan?!?’’ she plays along ‘’This is my friend Jang-hoon. I’m Y/N nice to meet you!! You are??’’ the girl rambles on happily chatting even offers her hand at the fan that’s seems so lost like the rest of her friends that keep eyeing us.

‘’Umm I’m Jimin.’’ The fan replies timidly while Y/N chuckles.

‘’I have a friend named Jimin. Although you look way cooler than he does.’’ She easily jokes the other girls chuckling and giggling, some still staring at me.

‘’Are you sure you’re not…I mean…?’’ another girl tries to ask again stumbling over her words.

‘’I’m sorry to disappoint you girls, but Jang-hoon is mute, he’s definitely not this Sugar of yours I vouch for that.’’ the girl’s eyes widen as they stare at me. Okay maybe she took it a bit too far.

‘’Time to go?’’ she raises her hands up, talking along and moving her hands in what seems to be sign language. The proper one; she not bullshit-ing it. I simply nod my head, and do the sign or ‘thank you’ because it’s actually the only one I know. Y/N beams at me and then bows her head to the girls.

‘’I hope you’ll meet your Sugar, and Batang one day.’’ she says politely.

‘’Its Bangtan.’’ A girl corrects her.

‘’You should check them out, they are really good.’’ Another girl adds as Y/N grabs my hand starting to pull me away, making my heart race. Her hand is warm.

‘’Maybe I will.’’ Y/N replies grinning brightly. Why is she so extra?!

*Outside the cafe*

‘’That went better than expected.’’ I sigh as we finally walk outside the café managing to slip outside unrecognized.

‘’We’re professionals.’’ Y/N says cockily, making me roll my eyes at her. Glancing down at her I smile to myself; she has a triumphant expression clearly pleased with herself of her reaction and doing. We’ve already sent a message to the boys, to met us outside. They managed to slip away even faster than we could have actually. But what brings a bigger smile on my face is the black jacket I gave her. It has my stage name stitched on the left pocket. It really looks good on her.

‘’Are you cold?’’ she asks looking up at me with big innocent eyes while I quickly turn forward glaring ahead trying not to feel embarrassed or to blush.

‘’I’m fine.’’ I reply back. I’m only in a t-shirt, but it’s not as cold as it was a few days ago.

‘’Oh, by the way, I’ve been writing again.’’ She speaks up surprising me.

‘’About?’’ I encourage her while she now glances back first before letting go of my hand. I won’t like I’m kind of disappointed to lose her warm hand. awkwardly I stuff my hands into the front pockets of my jeans while she stuffs her own into the pockets of my jacket. I hold my groans and coos in, at how amazing she looks, all the more adorable. The jacket is reaching till her upper knees, looking very oversized on her frame. It makes her look smaller, and cuter.

‘’Lot of stuff.’’ She admits her tone serious but then she’s looking at me again ‘’Just need to find someone who can play piano really well, and also compose and produce. And is also a genius. And has a studio named ‘Genius lab’.’’ I’m already smirk as she goes on, and then nudge her making her sidestep but we both end up laughing, her giggles warming my heart and cheeks again.

‘’I think he’s busy.’’ I tease on as we cross the road.

‘’To bad.’’ She adds ‘’I was really looking forward for this. A duet possibly.’’ Glancing down she’s already looking up at me with a knowing smile. Which doesn’t stop another flood of heat to hit my cheeks, and my heart beat to slow down as it skips some beats.

‘’Now that I think about it I think he’s not busy that much.’’ I go on to which she laughs out loud, and then she’s suddenly hocking her arm around my own, that I leave stuffed in my pockets. But I do stiffen at her sudden contact briefly.

‘’Good. I have a good feeling about this.’’ she goes on making my heart flutter ‘’There they are!’’ she exclaims making me turn forward at the four boys, hanging around on a bench in the park we’ve walked into. I see Taehyung jump onto his feet, half rushing towards us with a grin. With regret, I watch as she lets go off me, and watch her skip forward towards him. They crash into each other both giggling loudly. I just pass them, walking up to my friend.

‘’Glad to see you alive.’’ Hyungwon jokes making me snort as I glance at the loud couple.

‘’She’s resourceful.’’ I add with a sigh and then look at my friend who wraps his arm around me.

‘’Aquarium or arcades?’’ Jae asks.

‘’Cinema.’’ Kihyun replies.

‘’Seriously…’’ the two boys start going at it while I glare at my best friend who gives me a pitiful look, and pats me over the back his arm lingering around my shoulders.

‘’Don’t wanna be lonely, just wanna be yours…’’ he half sings half whispers but ends up laughing as I push him away instead growling, as I quickly glance at the two boys who stop laughing momentarily, as Hyungwon keeps laughing. Turning forward I slightly panic that the two love birds heard me, but they’re only coming over now, Tae’s arm wrapped around her shoulder while he’s staring down at her lovingly. His eyes, the way he’s looking at her the smile on his lips is fond. And the whole concept of Taehyung before me says; he is calm. He’s not jumping or yelling, or even grinning fooling around like an idiot. That smile and look in his eyes tell everything. He loves her. He is truly in love with her.

Meanwhile she’s explaining something hand moving around almost aimlessly while the other one is in Taehyung’s that’s rested her over her shoulder. But the way that she speaks, grinning up whenever she meets his eyes. And now when she pauses grinning, while he smiles wider. She loves him. She’s fallen for him too.

And then they’re turning to us.

‘’Hey don’t kill each other.’’ Taehyung calls out to his friends that have started to fake punch each other, making me roll my eyes while Hyungwon pouts.

‘’Stop it.’’ I say looking away.

‘’So, Aquarium?’’ Y/N asks making me look at her but she’s looking up at Taehyung with a small smile.

‘’Whatever you want.’’ He replies immediately leaning down, pressing a peck on her lips.

‘’Ouch.’’ Hyungwon whispers making me jump to which he scurries away giggling, bumping into Jae that turns to him with a glare before he lowers his head down in respect, as Hyungwon is older than he is. Glancing at the couple they are whispering between one another, soon enough both of them becoming touching teasing one another childishly. I sigh stuffing my hands into my pockets as I glance up at the stars, the song my best friend starting to sing…one of my songs…our songs…starts to play in my mind.

Listen to my heartbeat It calls you whenever it wants to Because within this pitch black darkness You are shining so brightly Give me your hand save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall

Summary: After dating for almost 3 years, the armys and Yoongi’s label have found out about your relationship. Now you have to deal with it in your extraordinarily normal life.

I was in complete euphoria as I drove us out of New York state. It was such a spur of the moment thing and I know that Yoongi was like me when it came to the stuff. Everything needs planning and some kind of schedule, but I guess he had one in this situation. I was in complete awe that he had thrown this together without telling me, but I also couldn’t believe that he didn’t tell me. He knew how I was when it came to this stuff, but maybe he wanted to push me a bit out of my comfort zone.

I quite liked driving honestly. When I’d first learned, I was terrified. Then I slowly began to realize how calming it was. When people would complain about driving alone, I never quite understood it. I liked just focusing on something with my music playing in the background. I liked feeling free, in some odd way.

It wasn’t until the third hour of driving when we were stuck in New Jersey rush hour that it hit me what I was about to do. Drive to Florida? Yoongi couldn’t fucking drive. Yes, I loved Road Trips, but holy shit was I in for a long one. There was a moment of spite towards him, but I quickly withdrew it when I thought about what he could possibly have waiting for us when we got there. “Are we driving through the night or stopping?”

He laughed and in the bumper to bumper traffic I let myself turn to him.  “We both know you can’t push yourself like that.” He extended his hand to my shoulder and began to rub it. I sank into my seat and attempted to crack my back while he kept his hand there. “You’re not tired yet, are you baby?”

“I’m not tired, I’m just thinking.” I returned, moving my foot between the gas and break every few seconds. I sighed. “Do we have a date we have to be there by?” I asked.

“Well, the reservation is for tomorrow because I thought we would leave after we got back from the city-” he chuckled, “But shit happens, right? I can always call them up and tell them I’ll be there the day after next.”

I shook my head and changed the song that had just come on with the controls on the steering wheel. “I can drive til probably one of the Carolina’s before I crash. Not literally crash-” he was laughing at me now. “But like- figuratively. We can make it there by tomorrow if I’m not a fucking idiot.”

“So, it’ll be a while then?” Without hesitation I flung my arm towards his chest with my fist curled up. I knew it didn’t hurt, but he pretended it did anyways. “I have so many jokes I want to make…” I rolled my eyes.

“After we get out of this traffic, we’re stopping.” I stated and he just laughed at me.

He was probably going to make a joke about the party from last night and I could truly only guess which one he was gonna go for. It was probably going to be “This is why you didn’t win that fight last night” and then excessively apologize. Yoongi had recently been attempting to bite his tongue over things he knew that he was gonna regret. At least with me. With everyone else he was still the same blunt dickhead who disregarded everyone's feelings a good amount of the time for the truth. So, now he was just avoiding whatever the outcome was by not even saying it.

After about an hour the traffic finally cleared up and  we were in Pennsylvania now. The airy atmosphere was kind of soothing, but it was quickly ruined by Yoongi’s complaining that he now had to pee. I hadn’t been able to get to the right line for the last rest stop and there hadn’t been one for about 70 miles now which meant almost another hour with no break or bathroom. I wasn’t about to pull over for him, teasing him like this was kind of funny.

“That one’s a stop! Please god let me go pee in Panera Bread!” Yoongi was almost screaming about this now and I was basically hysterical laughing over the fact.

“Yeah, yeah. Chill out.” I changed lanes as we got closer to the exit. “Have you eaten Panera before? I don’t think I’ve ever forced you to go. The rest stop Panera's are even better than mine and that's saying something. Their mac and cheese and grilled cheese- Yoongi I could die.”

“Don’t say that when I’m on my death beds, thanks Y/N.” he laughed at himself but not too hard. There was totally a chance he would piss his pants if he did. “Selfish, selfish.” he teased me.

The sun was almost all the way down as we got out of the car and he ran inside as I walked. It was funny watching him run at his full speed, which was pretty fast. He was a pretty serious guy in public but you could easily tell even as a strange my boyfriend was dying right now. I couldn’t help but to stretch as I walked inside and got online. We hadn’t eaten in hours and I knew he was hungry even if he hadn’t mentioned it. We’d probably end up getting food later too, so I was just gonna get what I normally got for both of us.

I probably appeared super disheveled at the current moment, but I didn’t care too much. I had about 4 or 5 more hours of driving til I could sleep and my appearance during it was the least of my worries. “Hey, can I get 2 half and halfs, both mac and cheese and grilled cheese. Also, two drinks?” The girl behind the counter who looked like she hated her life nodded without even glancing up at me. She told me the total right before I paid and gave me a buzzer to wait with.

I made my way towards the bathrooms and almost in sync Yoongi appeared with the biggest smile on his face. “I’ll stop complaining now.” he spoke as he hugged me for a moment and kissed the top of my head. “Is the food really that good? Did ya’ get it?” I nodded. “Are we eating here or going?”

“I can eat while I drive.”

“Didn’t get you get mac and cheese?” he furrowed his eyebrows down in my direction as he pulled away from me and took my hand. “Y/N, that sounds like an utter disaster.”

“I can handle it. I’ve done it before, Yoongi. Worst comes to worst, you can feed me.” I guess I’d said his name a little too loudly because suddenly the cashier that had previously helped me’s face shot up at the mention.

“Oh my god!” she exclaimed and I could physically see his body tense for a moment. “Min Yoongi!” Within a moments notice she abandoned her job and was making her way over to him. “And Y/N! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you by your voice, you sweet cinnamon angel!” Cinnamon angel? What? Oh come on.

I scanned the rest of the place to make sure nobody else was coming over or anything. It wasn’t busy at all and it was a bit strange that we’d managed to walk into the one place where we were recognized, but I couldn’t help except to laugh. The girl walked over towards us with extended arms facing me first and as awkward as I was, I hugged her. I could feel Yoongi’s eyes on the back of my head as this girl almost began crying before pulling away and going towards him. He didn’t sigh out loud, but I knew he wanted to. He loved seeing armys, but I was guessing there was something he wasn’t telling me.

“C-Can I get a picture?” she asked and my instinct was to say yes. Before I could Yoongi started.

“I- I don’t think we can- it’s a safety hazard to give away our location.” he was very straightforward about it, but I knew he felt bad.

“I won’t post it for like a few days! Or tomorrow! And this is a rest stop, you guys will be far gone by that time!” I gave Yoongi puppy dog eyes and he sighed aloud this time. “You’ll do it?!” she had noticed the exchange between us and was absolutely delighted. “Yay! Jay!” One of her coworkers ran out from behind the counter as she yelled. Can you take a picture of the 3 of us?”

She stood in between us and I smiled real big while Yoongi had one of his famous smirks on. “You’re such a little asshole.” I whispered to him as we walked out to the car. She showered us in thank yous until we left the building and it got my face all red. “You couldn’t even smile?”

“You know I’m not really allowed to even take those kinds of pictures.” he sighed as I unlocked the car. Before I got in I watched him debate getting in the back to sleep or the passenger's side to keep me company. He must’ve known if he got in the back we’d be staying at this rest stop until he moved, so he skipped that step all together.

“Oh, I know. It sucks having such cute pictures with you and not being allowed to ever post them really.” I pouted as I turned the key and pulled out of the lot towards the highway.

“You have that one from the concert of us all up there now.”

“Yeah, but that’s not one of our cute pictures. Min Yoongi we take the cutest pictures ever and they’re all trapped in my google photos.”

“Well, I’m gonna make sure you can post some cute Disney pictures of yourself and even maybe one with me in it by the time we leave. Fuck everyone else.” he laughed and then stopped himself upon realizing what he was saying. Yeah, he could pretend to have all the control he wanted, but in the end everything was papers and pens.

“You say fuck everyone else as if you’d give up your career for me.” I began to laugh at my small joke, but the air in the car got a bit stiffer. He uncomfortably shifted positions in his seat and I knew he was looking out onto the open road instead of me now.

“You know I would.” his voice was hoarse and I knew he didn’t want me to hear that, so I didn’t respond.

I never liked to compare myself to his career in any way. I didn’t even put myself and him being an idol as two comparable things. Back when we had first been put out there as a couple and I was forced to do interviews, a question that always repeated was “Do you think he loves you or being an idol more?” It was quite a strange one, but sadly a fan favorite. My response was always basically the same.

I’d always give some big speech. “I don’t even put myself and Bangtan in the same tier system. His personal life and Bangtan are two separate things going on. Obviously, they’re both important to him or we wouldn’t be here today, but in now way am I comparable to BTS. His love for both things that shouldn’t even be spoken about together in my opinion. I should have no effect on his career.” Obviously there were variations of it, but the gist was always the same.

“Hey, put on some good music or something. Fuck this radio shit. Perk up, Yoongs.” I blindly extended a hand to find his face and pinched at his cheeks. When I felt his face relax, I pulled away from him.

“Stop pinching me, grandma.” he teased as he paired his phone to the bluetooth and flicked through songs on his playlist. “I’m gonna get wrinkles or something from it then we’ll be fucked.”

“You’re calling me grandma? You’re the walking embodiment of an 85 year old.” I retaliated. “If you get wrinkles, your fans will think they’re cute. You probably already have some from worrying so much.”

“You’d be the first one to know with the amount you stare at my face.” he put on some classic Eminem. The songs I’d be able to yell the lyrics to with him.

“Dude, you’re cute as hell. I don’t know what you expect.” I smirked and could feel a bit of blush coloring my cheeks. I don’t know how but my own boyfriend somehow made me embarrassed of complimenting him. Half the world did it, why couldn’t I? Oh yeah, my weird pride thing.

“You’re so adorable.” He reached out and booped my nose? He’d never really done that, but I kind of liked it.

We were in South Carolina now. We were going to stop in North Carolina, but I decided to keep going because I wanted to feel more proud of myself for driving further. So, we were a little bit over the border now. Just south of the border, actually. A few minutes ago we were arguing about whether to stay in a motel or hotel. I’d said we could just stay in some cheap place and Yoongi was refusing.

He said that he worked hard enough to sleep in a bed that wasn’t stuffed with newspaper every night and I responded that he was already spending so much money on this vacation. Then on top of the argument of where we were gonna stay was the money one that always came up. His ability to buy a pair of sunglasses that cost 400 dollars compared to my frugal ass that thought 30 was too much. Our ideals were super different and there was basic proof as to why and we knew this would always be something we’d fight about. We simply couldn’t see eye to eye on this one.

Eventually I gave in. He went on this whole rant on how he wanted everything to be perfect for me and instead of taking a plane he’d opted to drive down to make me happy since driving clears my head. Since I’d been a ball of stress and tears lately. I couldn’t fight with him when he got to that point and he’d taken us to the closest Marriott on his gps.  He didn’t know too many “nice” hotels in America and that was his go to at all times for no good reason.

As soon as the car was parked, I was ready to just fall asleep in my seat with my seatbelt still on. Yoongi undid the seatbelt and leaned over me to open my door. He sent me inside with his wallet as he lazily opened the trunk and our suitcases to pack clothes into. I knew it’d take him a minute so in order to try to stay awake, I power walked inside the gorgeous hotel.

The man at the front desk was half asleep and just kind of sitting there with his head on the desk. As I got closer to the counter he perked up and was on his feet in mere seconds. “Hello there!” his voice was chirpy as if I hadn’t just caught him slacking. “Do you have a reservation?” He kind of seemed bitchey and bored at the same time. Like he was mad someone actually walked in during his shift and was ready to give me a basement to sleep in.

“No, I’m sorry, I don’t. Do you have any availability?” I walked up to the counter and leaned against it to support my tired body. The doors that I had just walked through opened again to reveal my lovely thin mint dragged a bag he probably threw clothes for both of us inside of.  

The man at the counter’s facial expression changed when he saw my boyfriend and the only thought in my head was how the fuck did everyone know who this guy was? Well, BTS was gaining popularity and they deserved it. A few months ago we were able to basically go to anywhere and be fine with the noticing thing. Now here we were at 3 in one whole day in 3 different states.

“Of course! I knew I knew your face, you’re Y/N Y/L/N of that band and that’s your boyfriend, Min Yoongi! What a delight in our Mariott!” I gave a fake little smile. “Only for one night?” Nod. “Alright, you two are set up in room 31 C!”

“Let me pay.” My voice came out demanding and this man flung his head in circles to decline my offer. “Please.” He made the same motion again as he handed me the key cards. “I don’t want to get you in trouble-”

“Oh dear, my father’s the manager. I wouldn’t do this for just anyone! Talent deserves a bit of somethin’ from us common folk! Have a great night you two!” When he finished speaking, he sprinted off to the back room and through a shadow on the wall I could faintly see him dancing around.

“Wipe that sour puss off of your face, darling.” Yoongi’s voice was as tired as I felt as he still tried to be a gentleman.

“Oh, I hate this. Why can’t you just wear a facemask all the time?” My face probably looked mushy with dark circles underneath my eyes in the current moment.

“Then how would you get your fix of all this?” he waved his hands around his face and subsequently dropped our bag. I bent over to grab it and almost stopped halfway to take a rest.

“My feet hurt, Yoongs. Carry me.” I was whining at this point.

He squinted his eyes towards me as the elevator got to the lobby and we both creeped inside. The room we were in was the second to top floor and I could only imagine the beautiful view. Of course, I was proven right once we were inside. The countryside was barely lit, but only with the stars in the sky. You didn’t get much of this in overpopulated New York, so a site like this was rare and extremely special.

“You glad you let us stay here now?” Yoongi joked as he changed into a silk set of pajamas to sleep in. I simply shrugged and nodded before going into the bag to find whatever he brought me. I was praying it wasn’t a matching set of pajamas and thankfully he’d brought my sweatpants and a shirt of his that was big on me. I knew once we were in Disney he’d make me match with him. He was all about that corny stuff sometimes, surprisingly. He went all out on that type of stuff.

I quickly changed and lazily went into the bathroom to brush my teeth to catch him walking out. He stopped for a moment to kiss my cheek and his minty stench flew through my nose and it was strong enough to wake me up. But my tiredness overpowered it as a I rushed through my night time ritual to join him in the bed.

I almost forgot about the 9 am alarm I had set until I was rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I wanted to sleep in a bit, but Yoongi insisted on waking up at this time to make sure he got the free breakfast they served here. I banged on his chest a few times until he moved. Instead of waking up, today he pulled me into him during his half awake half asleep time.

“Hey!” I yelled as he stuffed my head into his armpit. I really hope he was just doing this in his sleep on instinct. “Let go of me and get up! I wanna get going and you want food!” My booming voice caused his eyes to flutter open and meet mine from half underneath his arm.

“Ah, shit.” he moved his body to let me free and sat up once I was off of him. “Sorry about that. Good morning.” he shyly smiled and placed a kiss onto my temple. I rolled my eyes but made sure to smile afterwards as I went about getting ready as fast as I could. He did his own separate routine while somehow ran alongside mine and I couldn’t help except to kind of view it was cute.

As soon as he was dressed and ready to go, he was out the door to go get the food he was dying for. I grabbed the bag and my own bag then headed out. Only after I triple checked the room though. We may have not had a lot of stuff, but I just had to make sure. We’d had multiple occasions of having to turn around for a sock or a phone wire or something in the past, but I wanted to get going this time.

I found him downstairs devouring a waffle as his single plate was stacked on. I know he’d complain about it later when he went over his calories for the day at some point, but he’d get over it. I grabbed a few things and sat across from him. Yoongi was so lost in his plate he didn’t acknowledge me for a good minute and a half. “So do you want me to drive the rest of the way?”

I stopped mid bite and looked over to him like I was on The Office. “You?”

“Yeah, I have my license in Korea.”

“I know, you drive when we’re there and I drive here. That’s what we’ve come to terms with.”

He scratched at the back of his hat and pushed his plate towards me to tell me he was done. Just like a child. “I kinda feel bad and it’s only like 7 hours-”

“You don’t have a universal license, Yoongs. You have one there not here. I do appreciate it though.”

“You just look so tired.” His response was so immediate as soon as I finished speaking. He had this shy smile on his way as he cracked his knuckles. Him moticing the small things about me like the bags under my eyes or the way I slurred my words a bit when I got under 6 hours of sleep always made my stomach do flips and my heart flutter a bit. It was kind of lame, but I loved that stuff. “I’ll buy you coffee-”

“Ahh, you used the right word.” I leaned across the table and playfully punched his arm before grabbing both of our plates. He simply smiled an all knowing smile as I walked away from him to dispose of our plates. He’d been stuck on saying Americano whenever he was here and it always got him a bunch of weird looks while he searched his internal dictionary for the right word.

Yoongi grabbed the bag and tugged his hat down a bit before extending his hand for me to take. I did a little jog over so he wouldn’t be waiting for a while and he swung our arms as we walked. That could only mean I was in for a good car ride if he was in a good mood so early in the morning. “I looked it up and we’re about 7 hours away. You excited, baby?” he asked pulling away from me to get into the passenger's seat. I nodded at him once we were both inside and laughed.

I started my car and then we were on the last stretch of the drive in an instant. I’d let Yoongi completely dj this time, but I was ready to kill him when he started playing my own bands music. I didn’t almost crash the car but he was afraid I was going to when I leaned across the seats to hit him until he turned it off. He was hysterical at my reaction and I couldn’t help but to feel even more embarrassed.

The drive flew because I basically refused to stop unless it was for gas. Yoongi had called out such weird stuff and attractions off of the highway and I said no to every single one of them. I knew he was fucking around about most of them but when I told him we couldn't stop to take a picture with a giant hand sculpture, he was extremely upset by it.

As soon as we got into Orlando, he rolled the windows down and the heat almost made me choke. “Please god no.” I groaned as he continued to open up the sunroof as well. I turned the a.c up to the highest volume as he blasted the music. He’d decided to play some old Eminem so I would actually be able to scream out all the words with him. I didn’t really want to draw too much attention to the car, but he was fully decked out in a mask and a hat while I sadly had nothing to kind of hide myself with. Not even makeup.

“And then turn right here.” he was directing me around. Yoongi had turned off the gps volume ages ago due to her voice “annoying him”. So now we were here.

I spotted a sign in the distance and read it out loud. “Polynesian Village Resort… Are we staying here.”

“Yeah, I figured you’d like it the best out of all of them.” Yoongi reached out and rubbed the top of my arm and I just knew he had his cute shy smile on.

It was almost like a gated community as we pulled up to someone to let us in. Yoongi did all the talking and I was so seamlessly impressed by his way with people that I probably looked like an idiot right now. We pulled up to the hotel and another man came up to us to park the car. As soon as we had all of the luggage out, my car was gone and I felt a sad loss about it.

I was in awe and I wasn’t even inside yet. Above us there was a monorail and as much as I wanted to remove the smile on my face, I was happy I was there. The entrance  was surrounded by palm trees, tiki statues, and little waterfalls. I could already feel the picture ideas storming through my brain for later on when we were dressed. The second we stepped through the sliding doors a young woman greeted us and placed lays onto us. “Are you having flashbacks?” I joked, nudging at Yoongi.

I could see a shiver run through his spine as he thought back to Bon Voyage 2 when they went to Hawaii. He had an absolutely amazing vacation, but his tan line for a good while was so fucked up due to him wearing long sleeves the entire time.

The lobby was beautifully decorated and the chandeliers (I think they were called that? Maybe.) hung different colored lights that weren’t as basic as most places. The entire place had such a nice feel to it that I knew Yoongi put every thought into making this vacation amazing for me. Out of all the hotels, he knew I’d enjoy this one the best simply from the vibe it gave off. “Oh, I can’t wait to get dressed and look nice so we can take pictures even just here.” I whispered to Yoongi, barely able to speak through my smile.

“You always look nice.” there was a slight pout in his face for a moment until it turned back into his cocky smile for me having such a good time. “You’re literally wearing sweatpants and a messy bun and I’d fuck you.”

“Well,” I was blushing a bit as my voice got even quieter, “I hope you would.” As we stood in line to check in I leaned up to place a small kiss on the corner of his mouth as I knew he wasn’t one for too much pda in unfamiliar places. He smile perked up even more and I knew he was happy. Which made me even happier. Wow, was I lame.

   Yoongi groaned for a moment and then dug around in his pockets only to pull out two wristbands. One was grey and the other was pink, I guessed the latter was for me. I was only proven right as he let go of the handle of the suitcase to put mine onto my wrist and then held his out for me to put onto his.

I found myself keeping my head down as Yoongi checked us in and activated our wristbands. For some reason I found myself being a bit embarrassed of how excited I was. I’d only been to Disney when I was young and didn’t remember a thing about it. I’d been wanting to go back for years, but I never found the money or the time for it and Yoongi knew that.

Once everything was taken care of I snatched my luggage from Yoongi and stuck out my tongue. Yeah, I knew he wanted to make this “perfect”, but I could easily carry my own things around. I kept my head down to try to save myself looks I’d get from full grown adults about freaking out. I knew it was annoying him as well, but we’d have all the time in the week for me to freak out and hopefully it’d be when I wasn’t a smelly bum who just drove for a day.

We walked past the gated pool and to the dock to go to the Bungalow suite he’d gotten. Min Yoongi really went all fucking out. As soon as we reached the docks, he begged me to close my eyes. Which I did and was basically shaking in fear as he guided me across the dock very slowly.

“Ready?” I heard him open the door for me and he slowly moved me to the doorway. Alright, open.”

My eyes were greeted with a hallway with a beautiful view of the water all the way down it. I completely forgot about my suitcase at the front as my feet took me all the way to the end to marvel at the view. There was a little plunge pool on the deck and wow, was it nice. After a moment I turned back around to look around the inside. We had a little living room area and a kitchen that knowing us, we wouldn’t make too much use of.

“Yoongi?” I called out as I walked back to the entrance. He poked his head out of a door to my right and I guessed it was the bedroom. He was sitting on the bed, taking a moment to just simple breathe. I almost completely attacked him as I jumped onto him and placed small kisses around his face. His arms found their way around me and his deep breathes had a little jolt in them. “Thank you, Yoongi.”

His lips found their way to mine and he was gentle. He couldn’t control his smiling in the moments and broke the kiss because of it. “Seeing you happy is all the thank you that I need, vomit girl.”

I sighed and rolled my eyes, pushing my hands to the bed on the side of him to push myself off. “Here I was.” I started my lament as I stood up again, “Ready to fuck you right here for all of this, right? But there you go calling me vomit girl and ruining whatever sexual motive I had.”

He simply laughed and stood up, putting his arms around me as he stood behind me yet again. “Yeah, sorry about that.” he placed a small kiss on my neck and then brought his head to the top of mine. “Go shower, then get dressed. There’s a nice dinner here tonight, it’s casual, okay? I’m gonna shower after you, so don’t take forever.”

I walked to the bathroom that was inside of the room and before going in I turned back to him, “Are you gonna wear a Hawaiian shirt?” I could barely contain my laughter as he made a sour face. “Well?”

“We’re both fully aware I couldn’t do that to myself.”

I was alone when I got out of the shower and I was simply confused on where Yoongi could have gone. My voice echoed through the Bungalow and I sighed after I yelled three times without a response. I threw off my towel and scoured around for some clothes, trying to remember what I’d seen in pictures from the dinner we’d be attending later on. It was casual and I still wanted to make sure I looked good.

For some reason the bit of anxiety about being photographed ran through my head. If that happened, it’d be over. We wouldn’t be able to enjoy this vacation the way we wanted and it would just suck.

I pulled out a pair of black jeans and a nice pink tank top with lace on it for a little bit of extraness. I realized I was nowhere near it when Yoongi walked in the front door wearing exactly what I’d asked him to. He was in blue jeans and a red hawaiian shirt with blue flowers and pineapples on it. I held myself from laughing because if I did, I was completely aware he would change on the instant.

I sitting on the ground trying to find shoes in my suitcase and he kicked at me while I looked for sandals within it. When I didn’t pack for myself it sent me into a frenzy trying to figure out what he could have possibly packed for me. I found a pair and Yoongi extended a hand that was decorated with a nice watch to help me up. His other hand had string bracelets on it and he wore this nice beaded necklace and my heart couldn’t help but to flutter.

I lifted myself up and put my arms around his neck before kissing his jaw line. “Do we have to go?” he whispered, lips looking for mine. I smiled at him and nodded before he groaned. “You’re so beautiful.”

I pulled my head back a bit to make eye contact and laughed. “I haven’t even finished getting ready.” I brought my hand to his face and rubbed his smooth skin with my thumb. He smiled before moving it with his own. There was a moment where I just watched his eyes scan over my entire being before he slowly leaned in to kiss me.

It was slow and I intended to keep it that way. From the way his hands began to roam up and down my body, I could tell he wanted to keep going and forget about the night. It was typical Yoongi to spend all of this money on a nice experience and lay inside the hotel the entire time. I knew I’d make it up to him later, but for right now I had to stop this.

I pulled back, catching my breath and Yoongi immediately leaned into the continue before I backed away. “After dinner, Min Yoongi. We’re going to enjoy this dinner and then whatever else.”

He groaned and sat onto the bed, putting his head into his hands. “Why are you doing this to me?” he whined and I just laughed. I left him to complain to himself to go finish getting ready.

As I put on my makeup, I could basically feel his eyes hot on me. Yoongi’s pained gaze watched me as I got ready and he didn’t even have to say how he felt. I could just see him sprawled out on the bed, wishing he didn’t take me to some place with any kind of activity so we could just lay inside all day. Either way, I would’ve been okay, but I was glad he did this. Everything that was set up within my future would probably cause me to have some sort or meltdown or crash.

The pressure of everything seemingly was building up, but lucky I had Min Yoongi to hold my hand and complain with me the entire way.

Author’s Note: Sorry this took so long to anyone reading! My personal life is totally stressful right now so I’ve had minimal writing time, but here it is! Hope you enjoyed and I’d totally love some feedback! Thank you!

Theo Raeken Imagines: Imagine 12: It's like putting a Band aid over a bullet wound it takes time

Warnings: Mild Swearing and death:

Things to know: y/b/f/n = your best friends name Y/L/n= your last name

1 year ago:

you were sitting on your couch watching supernatural when there was a knock on your door. you paused the series and got up and walked towards the front door to see your boyfriend Brett standing there.

"Hey babe" You said he looked at you with a blank expression on his face. "Look, y/n, we need to brake up because I have fallen in love with someone else , I never wanted to hurt you, but the truth is i cheated on you with her and the guilt was killing me and i think this is better for the both of us" He said as he looked down at the ground.

You felt your heart and trust shatter, "Brett please tell me this is a prank?" you asked as tears started to fall from your eyes. Brett looked at you "Its not a prank" He whispered. "You promised me you would never hurt m.me like he did" You said now leaning on the door for support because you feel as if you would crumble.

"I'm so sorry" He said "LEAVE GO I HATE YOU" you screamed as you slammed the door in his face. you turned around and let your back slide down the door until you were sitting there with your head in your hands.  

"I'm never trusting or falling in love with another guy." You said as you sobbed into your knees.

Present:

Every since Brett broke your heart you haven't trusted another boy and you built your walls high.

You were currently sitting in your  English class at you desk that you share with Theo Raeken.   "class today we will be splitting up into pairs to work on this English project."  I looked to my left to see Lydia giving the person beside me a death glare. I looked to my right and saw Theo.

"I have soccer practice after class but we can meet in the library after practice?" I asked as I looked at Theo "yea sure" He replied.

I walked out of the classroom and towards the girls locker room to get changed for soccer practice.

skip practice

I walked into the Library to see Theo sitting there only to see Brett walk into the Library as well seeing him brought back so many memories. I walk back out of the library and into the girls locker room.

You sat with your back pressed agaisnt the wall with your knees to your chest resting your head on your knees.

Theo's pov: I was sitting in the library working on my maths homework while i waited for Y/n.

After 5 mins of working on maths i looked up to see her walk through the door. But she froze in her spot i followed her gaze and it landed on the Devenford prep lacrosse captain who was sitting with his team mates and some blonde chick. (Devenford team was there because their library had a water pipe burst as well as they were there to practice lacrosse).

I looked back over at y/n only to see her turn around and walk out.

I quickly packed my things and stuffed them.into my bag before following her out of the library.

I saw her walk into the girls locker room. I walked in and found her sitting there with her head in her knees that were pulled to her chest.

I sat down beside her. "are you okay?" i asked. She looked up at me.

"i don't know" she said. I looked at her "i'm a chimera i can hear when your lying" i said as i grabbed her hand.

She sighed "a year ago i dated Brett Tabolt and he broke my heart because he cheated and he fell in love with someone else." she said as she look down "and i haven't trust anyone or told anyone about this not even Lydia" she said. "so you basically built your walls so high so no one can brake it down and kept your heart under lock and key?" I asked sorrow laced in my voice.

she just nodded "I understand that feeling" I said which made her lift her head and look at me. "i promise that i'll be here for you, as a friend". i said

What a dick, who would break this beautiful and kind hearted girls heart.

Shit i just friend zoned myself

Y/n pov:

I looked up at Theo did the cold hearted bad boy just say that he understands my pain and that he would be there for me as a friend? I thought to myself shocked that after everything i was seeing the softer Theo. The Theo Raeken who had a heart.

Theo stood up and gave me his hand, I took it. he pulled me up from my sitting position "come one our English project isn't gonna finish its self" He said as we walked out of the girls locker room and towards the library.

3 weeks later: Y/N pov:

Theo and I were currently hanging out near the bleachers of the lacrosse field before he had practice with Liam and the reset of Beacon Hills Cyclone team. After the incident in the girls locker room Theo and i have become really close so close we became inseparable. I have opened up to Theo more than what I ever thought i would after what Brett did to me.  

"Y/N!!", I turned from mine and Theo's  conversation to see Stiles walking over  "hey stiles what's up" I said as i looked at him as he stood beside me. "I need to talk to you alone" Stiles said as he gave Theo a glare. "Sure, I'll catch up with you after practice Theo" I said as Theo nodded and walked of towards the field.

I Turned and followed Stiles to his jeep in the school parking lot. we stood in front of his jeep. "I don't think trusting Theo is a good idea, I don't want you to end up hurt, after everything Theo did, I just watch you go through that again" Stiles said as he looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"Stiles, I understand your concerns but Theo has changed since he came back from hell after being tortured by his sister, Besides  Theo and I are just friends, so you dont need to worry about me". I said as Stiles sighed. "Okay but if he hurts you, i;m gonna use my baseball bat on him and run over him in my Jeep." Stiles said "I know you will" I said as i hugged him.

"Come on you have Lacrosse practice,  and Hayden and I are meant to be studying on the bleachers." I said as we walked back towards the field. Stiles threw back towards the team and i walked over towards the bleachers and sat down beside Hayden and Lydia.

"Hey girls" I said as i sat down. " Hey Y/n/n" Lydia and Hayden said while smiling at me,  i looked up to see Theo and Liam defending the goal against Scott and Stiles.

Before the whistle is blown Theo looks over and sends me a smile and a wink. I rolled my eyes in reply. "So whats the deal between you and Theo?" Hayden asked as she nudged my arm. "What nothing, Theo and I are friends" I said as i looked towards Hayden who raised her eye brows at me "Does he know that your just friends?" Hayden asked, I looked at her shocked and shook my head "What are you talking bout Hayden?" I asked confused. "well from the look of things he sees you more than just a friend" Hayden said as we looked through all of our text books for notes.

time skips: 3 days later:

You went for a run through the woods in the reserve when suddenly you heard a noise behind you. You took your earphones out of your ears and looked around, scanning the area around you when suddenly someone put a cloth over your mouth that had a drug on it which caused you to pass out.

Y/n POV:

I woke up in a darken room, tied to a chair in the middle of the room. I looked around to see a steal door, which i assume is the exit out of this place.

I seen a window but its been covered by a cardboard box to keep the light out of the room. Suddenly i Hear a voice behind me "Ah i see your finally awake"  an unknown voice said.

I tried to turn around and see the person behind the voice only for the person... wait how do i know that it is a person? i thought to myself.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when the Person or creature stood in front of me and its eyes glowed blood red. Definitely not an alpha or a werewolf.

"Do you know who i am and why your are here?" the voice asks me  "No i don't, should?" i asked as i looked up at the man in front of me.

" 2012, you were in a car accident with your best friend and her family. a creature hit the car and made it go off of the road and in into the frozen lake, someone or something pulled you out, but your best friend's body was never found, her parents dead after they drowned in that cold water. I grabbed your best friend thinking she was the one from the prophecy, turns out i grabbed the wrong girl" The men said as he smiled a vicious grin.

I looked at the man in front of me. The memory of that day came running through my head like it all happened yesterday.  

Flashback: Narrators pov:

13 year old Y/N and Her best friend Y/B/F/N were sitting in the back of Y/B/F/N's family car a blue ford SUV. Your were jamming to a Thank you by MKTO when suddenly there was an impact and the car skidded off of the road and into the Frozen lake.

The car was filled with screams of terror. when the car made impact with the frozen lake water started to flow through the opened windows.

Just as you were about to fall into unconsciousness, you felt your body being lifted out of the car through the window. you could barely make out the face of the person who saved you.

Suddenly you woke up with police and paramedics running towards you. You were lying on the grass. The paramedics placed a blanket around you and your mother was called and came and took you home before they brought the car out of the lake.

Flash back ended:

"so now you remember?" The guy said as he smirked at me "yea, so if you took my best friend where is she now?" I asked as i struggled to get out of my restraints.

"Once i found out that she wasn't the right girl, I killed her, I sucked the life out of her, Damn she tasted soo good." He said as his eyes went Red and His fangs came out.

"What are you?" I asked as i was still struggling to get out of my restraints that were now going to leave bruises on my wrists for sure.

"I am a Vampire" He replied as he hissed at me. walking closer and closer until his fangs were near my neck. "Hmm i can smell how sweet your blood is already. I wonder how it tastes" He said.

right then he dug his finger nails into my thighs and extended his fangs and brought them to my neck. I tried to fight back however it didn't work because i was still tied to this damn chair.

The next thing i remember was the burning sensation and pain in my neck where his fangs were as he sucked the blood out of me.

I screamed in pain. The next thing i remember was feeling so tired that my eyes flattered shut and i allowed the darkness to take over as the memories of Y/b/f/n came into view.

Theo's POV:

"where's Y/N she always come when there's a pack meeting" Liam said we all looked at each other before going over to  her house.

When we arrived her mum was there "Hi Mrs Y/l/n, we were wondering if y/n was here at all?" Hayden asked as we all stood behind her.

"I'm afraid she hasn't come back from her run, she's been gone for over 2 hours" y/n's mum said. My eyes widen and i took of towards the reserve.

when we got to the route that she normally takes when she goes for her walk we found her phone and another creatures scent.

"Scott did you pick up the other scent that wasn't y/n's" I asked. Scott looked over at me "Yea it doesn't smell human either" he replied.

"I smell it too and it leads this way" Liam said as he pointed in the direction where the scent was coming from.   we all looked at each other before walking in that direction.

after what felt for ever we came across a deserted building. We walked towards the entrance when we heard a heart beat but it was starting to go faint.

Thoughts about Y/n being injured ran through my head and I hated to ever see her like that.

wait theo what are you thinking since when do you care? I thought to myself,

we ran towards that room to see a Vampire sucking the blood and life out of Y/n.

I grabbed the vampire and pulled him a way from her, i started to beat the crap out of him. just as he was about to pass out, Scott stopped me.

"Theo wait, we need him alive, so we can work out what he wants with Y/n." Scott said. i stopped beating the crap out of him and let go of his t-shirt, allowing his body flop onto the floor. I walked over to Y/n.

I picked her up and carried her all the way to Deaton's animal clinic. "Deaton, Y/n's been bite by a vampire" I said as i laid her body on the cold silver table.

I listened to her heart beat it was faint but was there. Her body was pale, but she looked Peaceful.

It reminded me of that day in 2012... Where a guy that was supernatural hit a blue Ford SUV off of the road and into the frozen lake. I made it there in time, The girls parent's begged me to get them out.

I was confused because there was only one girl in the car. a girl who was the same age as myself at that time we were both 13 years old. I was 5 years into being a chimera.

I grabbed her body and pulled her out through the window in order to save her life. I laid her body down on the soft grass and laid there with her. As i listened to her heart beat. I waited until i heard the sirens of police and ambulances and ran towards the woods in my black wolf form.

I kept her necklace that fell from around her neck when i laid her on the ground.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Deaton "Sorry what?" I asked "I need your help Theo" Deaton said, I just nodded and walked over towards her, he put a green paste on her wound.

"Theo we need to take her to the hospital its the only way, they have blood that matches her blood type otherwise she will bleed out" Deaton said as he got his car keys.

 I picked her body up and sat her on my lap as Deaton drove us to the hospital.

As soon as we got to the emergency room. "Melissa, Its y/n" I said as i saw her. Melissa's eyes widen in shock but made me follow her into one of the hospital rooms and laid her down on the white bed. i stood back while Melissa ran around getting blood bags and IV's.

24 hours later: Narrators  pov:

you we hooked up to blood bags and Fluids. your body was slowly healing. Theo never left your side. He feared that he would lose you before he had the chance to tell you how he really feels about you.

The pack visited you everyday after school. But Theo never left, Liam, Scott, Hayden, Mason, even Stiles tried to convince him to leave and get some rest. But he knew that he wouldn't be able to get any rest knowing that you could possibly never wake up.

Liam noticed a change in Theo. He noticed that Theo wasn't as cold towards you. Liam could see the pain in Theo's eyes, the fear and the anger. Liam's eyes widened in realisation as he watched Theo grab your hand through the hospital room window. He saw a tear run down Theo's cheek. Liam knew that Theo was afraid to lose you.

Theo's POV:

"You care about her don't you Theo?" A voice that i know so well, I turned to Liam "I'm not going to lie, ever since i first saw her i knew she was the girl that would change me forever" I said as i looked at her face, which was slowly starting to gain colour back after having the blood that she lost replaced.

"When did you first see her?" Liam asked "Don't tell her or anyone, i will when I'm ready... She was 13 years old it was around the time she was in a car accident with her family friends, i was kinda knew to the chimera abilities, i saw the whole thing, I dove into the ice water and used my claws to cut her out of her Seat belt, her family friends begged me to get her out, so i did" I said as i looked at her.

"Wait your the guy that saved her from that car accident, you know shes been trying to find him.. well you to thank you right" Liam said "I know, its just after everything i did with the dread doctors i didn't think she would want anything to do with me let alone believe me" I replied as i looked down.

"Well i think she looked past all that when you helped her in the girls locker room that day with the Brett incident, every since then Theo you helped her open up, she let you in she was trying to push anyone away anymore because you showed her not all guys are like that." Liam said.

I looked at him, maybe he was right maybe she saved me just as much as she saved me.

I nodded "I'll tell her when and if she wakes up" I said to him. he nodded "I can't believe big bad Theo Raeken has a heart" Liam said as he smirked at me.

"Shut up Liam, before i kick your ass" I said "And classic Theo is back" Liam said before walking out with a smirk on his stupid face.

a couple hours later: Still Theo's pov:

I must have fell asleep while still holding Y/n's hand because i was awoken when i felt something move. I opened my eyes and moved my head so i could see around the room better.

My eyes landed on y/n who was now wide awake. "Y/n, how are you feeling" I said as i sat up. "I've felt better" she replied. "Theo the guy that kidnapped me, he was there the day i was in that car accident in 2012, he was the one that caused it, he..he killed my best friend." she said remembering everything that happened 24 hours ago.

I looked at her and sighed "I know, y/n there's something you should know, I was there that day when you were in that car crash i saw everything i was only 13 same age as you but i was a chimera even before then, i dove into the water to save as many people as i could, your friends parent's begged me to get you out, when i got you out you were unconscious and i laid with you on the grass to keep you warm and to ensure you were safe, Until police and paramedics came. then i left" i said avoiding eye contact with her.

She cupped my face and made me look at her "Theo, why didn't you tell me this sooner?" she asked as she looked at me. "Because i was scared to lose you, especially after everything i did with the dread doctors." I replied "The truth is y/n, I have been in love with you every since i pulled you from that car in the lake, and i need you just as much maybe more than you need me, and i nearly lost you" I said as i looked at her.

she looked down at me "I love you too Theo" She replied "I think this also belongs to you" I said as i pulled her matching Necklace that she had with her best friend that she lost the day of the accident.

"Wait you had it" she asked "Yea, to try and remind me that i had a heart but being near you reminded me that" I said as i handed her the necklace. she looked at it for a few minutes before throwing herself at me.

"woah y/n take it easy you lost a lot of blood by that vampire" I said she looked at me and kissed my cheek.

"because of you theo not only did you save my life twice now but you slowly fixed my broken heart you put a bandaid over my bullet wound and even though it takes time to heal, you helped it heal a bit faster" She said as she blushed.

I smiled and kissed her. I put my hand on the back of her neck and pulled her closer towards me. Little did we know, Stiles, Liam, Melissa and Scott were all watching and listening to us.

Outside of the hospital room:

"Who would have thought, Theo Raeken to have a heart and to mend Y/n's broken heart" Melissa said "I already knew he admitted it to me a few hours ago" Liam said making Scott and Stiles eyes go wide.

"what you didn't think to tell us that?" Stiles said "He said he wanted to be the one to tell the pack and y/n" Liam replied.

"It doesn't matter, They both need each other as much as each other needs them." Scott said.

they all decided to let the two have their privacy. as the walked down the hallway of the hospital.

4 weeks later.

you were sitting with Theo in the reserve looking over at the town lights. you were both talking about random things, with his arms around your waist and your head resting on his shoulder. Looking at the stars and the moon above you in the big dark sky.

when Theo kissed your forehead. The truth was Theo wasn't looking at the sky and its stars, he was looking at you, he realised just how much he was in love with you and he couldn't believe that after everything he ever did you looked past that, and managed to still love him some how.

what he didn't know was you saw a future with Theo, one that consisted of the pack, and him holding you when you needed him to. every year on the anniversary of the accident Theo goes with you, to lay down red roses for your friends mother, purple bell flowers and sunflowers for her father.  

Your friend's flowers:

Money Diaries - End of March

Day One: 3/25

9 a.m. — I “wake up” - in reality it means I stare at my phone with one eye shut and lay in bed for another hour browsing Reddit and FB

10 a.m. — Finally decide to get out of bed, brush my teeth, and go to the kitchen. My mom bought me cheesecake from an Asian bakery! She’s leaving for China today, so I make myself 2 cups of espresso with soy milk and sit in the kitchen at chat with her until she leaves for her flight at noon.

11 a.m. — My friends and I were planning a trip to Seattle for my friend’s going away trip, and we finally booked the flight back (even though we haven’t bought our flight there yet)!!! My dad tells me to use his card cause he gets points. It was $118, but I give him $100 in cash cause I don’t have loose bills. He says its fine. $100

12 p.m. — My dad brings my mom to the airport, and I decide to try to get some interview prep done. I start by reading an article about Dropbox from the NYT since I’m trying to get into the habit of reading the news every day.

2:30 p.m. — I have work at 3:30, and it takes me a while to do my make-up and hair, so I retreat to my room to get ready.

3:45 p.m. — Finally head out for work! Another exciting day in retail.

6 p.m. — The store was crazy with terrible customers. I finally go on my 15 minute break and stop by Smashburger for a Neapolitan shake and rosemary fries. I manage to finish all the fries within 10 minutes, and I’m proud but disgusted with myself. $7.96

7:45 p.m. — I get off work 15 min late because the store was trashed. I’m exhausted and finally head home.

8 p.m. — My dad was waiting at home for me to eat dinner. We head out to a noodle place nearby our house. He pays.

9:50 p.m. — I notice a similarly priced flight that flies a little earlier than the flight we booked previously, and its to a better/more convenient airport. We all cancel our previous flight and book this one instead. It’s still charged on my dad’s card, thanks dad! 

Daily Total: $107.96

Day Two: 3/26

9 a.m. — I wake up early so I can go to the library and prep for my 2 interviews. But first, I roll around in bed for a little bit.

10 a.m. — Got to the library right when it opened. I check for flights again to see if they’ve dropped - they haven’t. I start replying to emails that I received this morning, and commit to studying until at least 1.

11 a.m. — The girl sitting across from me is disgusting, so I switch seats to across the aisle.

1:30 p.m. — I didn’t get that much work done (ended up replying to a bunch of emails), but I decide to roll out so I can make lunch and take a quick nap before I Skype the BF.

1:45 p.m. — There’s not really any food at home, so I make a bowl of cereal and call it a day. I fall asleep on the couch while watching B99.

3 p.m. — I Skype the BF before work so I can get some interview prep in.

4:45 p.m. — I head out to work!! Yay.

9:30 p.m. —  Work ends and I rush home. I take a quick shower and eat left over noodles for dinner. My friends and I saw that flights to Seattle from SFO have dropped by about 50 bucks, so we buy! They buy the direct flight and I buy the only indirect flight at the same time because it’s $15 bucks cheaper. I put it on my dad’s card and give him $150 in cash, but he only takes $100. $100

10:30 p.m. — I’m feeling really tired, so I decide not to do anymore interview prep and to just call it a night so I can be well rested. I lay in bed on my phone for an hour before I finally go to sleep.

Daily Total: $100

Day Three: 3/27

6:15 a.m. — My first alarm rings - I hate myself. I hit snooze on the next few alarms.

6:30 a.m. — I finally drag myself out of bed and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face, and put in my contacts. Then I head to my room and play some B99 as I put on my make-up and do my hair.

7:30 a.m. — I was going to get coffee on the way to the Caltrain but decided not to. My dad drops me off at the Mountain View stop right as a train is approaching. I quickly buy a ticket and get on the train and manage to snag a seat. I’ll be expensing this ticket.

9 a.m. — Finally get to SF a few minutes later than expected. I call an Uber to the office I’m interviewing at. I’ll be expensing this ride.

9:30 a.m. — There’s way more traffic than expected. I tried to prep a little more on the Uber, but I was so stressed I can’t concentrate. I finally get to the office and use the lobby bathroom so I can change into my skirt and heels, then head up.

12 p.m. — So far, I’ve said some things I probably shouldn’t have said - but I hope for the best. 3 analysts take me and another interviewee to lunch at a really fancy restaurant downstairs. There are literally no vegetarian options so I order a chicken Caesar salad without the chicken. They order 4 apps that I cant eat, and then 2 desserts that we all split.

2 p.m. — We all head back up to the office so the interviewee and I can finish up our last 2 rounds of interviews.

3 p.m. — My interviews are finally over. I don’t think I did great, but I’m trying not to dwell. I change back into my pants and flats, chat with my friend in the lobby for a little bit, and decide to walk to Boba Guys for a treat.

3:30 p.m.  — Boba Guys has a crazy long line, so I decide just to go home. I call an Uber to the Caltrain and tell my dad when I expect to be at the Mountain View station. I’ll be expensing this ride.

5 p.m.  — I get to the Mountain View station and my dad picks me up. We head home, and he cooks up a few veg dishes for us.

9 p.m.  — After napping, eating, and de-stressing on the sofa for a little bit, I decide to get to work. I review my notes about the company and a few frameworks for case studies.

10:30 p.m. — I’m tired and unmotivated. I brush my teeth and head to bed. I lay in bed on my phone for a little bit before finally falling asleep.

Daily Total: $0

Day Four: 3/28

8:15 a.m. — My alarm wakes me up and I get up to get ready for another day of interviewing.

9:15 a.m. — After finishing my hair and make-up, I head out to buy myself a cup of matcha so I can be caffeinated (but not jittery) for my interview. $4.90

9:45 a.m. — After getting back home, I eat a bowl of cereal while watching B99. Then I get to work and try to squeeze in a little more studying before I have to head out.

11 a.m. — My dad comes home to pick me up for my interview. We drive to the Caltrain and I buy a ticket (not re-imburse-able). $16.50

1 p.m. — We should’ve been in the city by now, but the train breaks down because of a problem with the power. I wait for 10 minutes before getting off the train with the bulk of everyone else, and call an Uber to the city. All the Ubers and Lyfts are super far away so it takes a while for them to reach me. $12.87

1:30 p.m. — I finally get to Blue Bottle! I go inside and snag a seat. I sit and study for about 30 minutes before I head into the bathroom to change into my skirt.

2 p.m. — I head over to the office site. I get there a little early so I sit and study for a little bit more. When the clock hits 15, I head upstairs to wait for my interview.

3:30 p.m. — The interview went terribly, and I come out of the office on the verge of tears. I call my friend to vent and cry a little bit, and she reassures me that everything will be okay and that it isn’t my fault. I’m constantly on edge with recruiting, and I’m just ready for the whole thing to be over.

4 p.m. — My friend who works in the city is able to take a quick (not-so-quick) break, so we head to Boba Guys and wait in the long line. We chat about my interview yesterday and today, and our future trip to Seattle. After we grab our drinks , we head back to her office. $4.50

5:30 p.m. — I try to call an Uber from her office, but there’s so much traffic that all the Uber’s take too long to get to me. I decide to walk to the Caltrain since it would take about the same amount of time.

6 p.m. — I finally get to the Caltrain and snag a seat. I text my dad to let him know when I would reach Mountain View.

7:30 p.m. — I finally get home! I feel disgusting and exhausted. I take a quick shower, and call the nearby pizza place for take out. I offer to share with my dad but he wants to eat left overs. $17.50

9 p.m. — Dinner and snacking time is over. I am trying to destress by watching B99 and Youtube, but it isn’t working.

Daily Total: $56.27

Day Five: 3/29

7:25 a.m. — My alarm goes off. At first, I wake up thinking that it’s so early, I can definitely go back to sleep! And then I remember I have work at 8 AM, so I get up and get ready for the day.

9 a.m. — My manager and I had to make a run to the bank, and I literally spend the entire time on my phone trying to stake out Fenway Park tickets for senior week. I feel bad, but I finally get them! $14

12:30 p.m. — Today was a crazy day at work. I swear at one point there were literally 10 strollers in the store, with babies crying left and right and the store getting trashed. I thank my lucky stars that I don’t have to clean up tonight, and head out of work for the day.

1 p.m. — After having a mental breakdown about my abilities and job searching, I heat up my left over pizza and eat it for lunch as I watch B99. I snack on some sunflower seeds, and then pass out on the couch for a few hours.

4 p.m. — I finally wake up and feel disgusting. I wash my face and put in some eye drops (since my contacts dried up in my eyes). I go to my computer and update my budget and cringe in pain as I see how much money I spent on food this month. I vow to myself to really rein it in so I can actually save some money for Europe.

7 p.m. — My dad comes home and brings Chipotle for dinner! I’m only able to finish half of mine, so I save the other half for lunch tomorrow. 

Daily Total: $14

Day Six: 3/30

9:30 a.m. — I wake up, roll around in bed for a little bit, and then get up to head to the gym.

11:30 a.m. — My workout is finally done! I head home so I can shower.

12 p.m. — I heat up my left over Chipotle for lunch, and respond to a few emails. I got invited back by one of the companies I interviewed at for lunch, and I am super confused as to why because I was 100% sure that I bombed the interview and that the director did not like me. I respond saying that I am interested anyways and we schedule a time.

1 p.m. — I eat my Chipotle on the couch while watching B99. I pass out for like 3 hours.

3:30 p.m. — I finally get up off the couch. I remix my slime to make it less sticky and accidentally get some on the kitchen rug. I can’t get it off so I leave it, hoping that it’ll get less sticky with time. 

4 p.m. — I retreat into my room to get ready for work. I only do my make-up since I’m feeling lazy.

4:45 p.m. — I head out to work. 

9:30 p.m. — I love closing with one manager in particular cause she’s always in a rush to get out early, just like me. We leave about 15 minutes early and I get home. My dad’s not home, so I make myself a bowl of cereal and eat it in a rush since I have to head out soon. My dad gets home just as I start eating and I let him know what my plans for the night are.

10 p.m. — My friend calls me telling me that she and her boyfriend just broke up. She is not upset about it at all, which is good, and we use the time to catch up on each other’s lives. I chat with her as I drive to my other friends house. One of my friends recently got into her first choice med school, so we are celebrating! They were planning on going clubbing, but we decided to stay in and have a chill night instead.

2 a.m. — We ended up spending the night just chatting and watching tv/movies. We finally head home at 2 am, and I take off my make-up, wash my face, change, and get into bed. 

Daily Total: $0

Day Seven: 3/31

10 a.m. — I wake up suuper late today because of how late I slept last night. I muster what little motivation I have to get up and get changed for the gym.

12 p.m. — I finally finish at the gym! I take a shower and heat up two Asian buns and eat two hard boiled eggs for lunch. Then I snack on some sunflower seeds before passing out on the couch for another 3 hours.

4 p.m. — I finally wake up and hate myself for sleeping for so long. This is one of the few weekends I have off and I wasted one by napping! I am still stressed out about job search, but I decide not to do anything about it today since I still need more me time.

6 p.m. — My dad gets home from biking, and after he showers and changes, we head out to a shabu shabu place for dinner. He pays - thanks dad!

9:30 p.m.  — I do a little bit of job search since I’m bored and it’ll take some of the tension I’m feeling off. 

10 p.m.  — I finish up totaling my money diaries!
