While waiting for the food to come, I check my IPad and reading through my email. I received an email from Jihye eonni which is the video clip of press release from Entertainment Weekly. I opened and listen to it. I'm glad, it when smoothly as I thought it would be. I wonder, how is Yoongi and the others. I checked on Twitter and even though mostly ARMY is so supportive of the boys, there's still a few that still can't accept them. But I'm thankful and so amazed by their fandom, that they were not only supportive but the whole fandom will unite defending their beloved idol group. I just don't understand sometimes, someone call themselves an ARMY but wanted to get involved with their personal life. That is too much. For sure, I knew their fans loved them but they need their privacy too. Hopefully, their fans didn't attack me after this, in case they came across me, anytime and anywhere. Couple of minutes later, my food come and I enjoy it while looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me.
I check on their pamphlet and found out that they're also giving an island tour with affordable price. I will decide tonight, on what will I do tomorrow or I'll just drop by to the tour desk later or I can always ask Ji-eun on what's the best to do around this island. Speaking of Ji-eun, I was so surprised to see her here, I never expected anyone would know me in this beautiful island. I hate myself for not even trying to look for my friends. I guess, I didn't know where to start or I don't know how, and also over the busyness of work too, I forgot about my friends. Okay, I'm making an excuse here. Oh God, what have I done? Friends supposed to be around for each other. But me? I'll make sure to talk to Ji-eun about this later.
All of a sudden, the phone in my room ringing. I pick it up.
"Hello"
"Hi Yoori, it's Ji-eun. So, how is your room? Everything okay?"
"Ah Ji-eun, I'm so happy with the room. I get the best view and the room was so spacious. I love it. Thank you."
"I'm glad you loved it. Actually, I just finished my meeting and I'm going back home at 5, couple of minutes to go. I have my own room at the hotel but I haven't been home for a days, my eomma is nagging me to go back, so I better be home. I will call you later, let's say around 8, for our dinner okay?"
"Sound good to me. Send my regards to your parents. See you later."
"Will do. I'll bring you to meet them before you go back to Seoul, it's has been so long."
"Oh wow! I love that. I missed your eomma Ganjang Gejang, the best ever. Looking forward for it, Ji-eun."
"Okay, I call you later. Bye."
"Bye."
God, I missed our good old days, all the six of us.

I look at the screen of my Ipad, my lock screen was the picture of me and BTS, taken by Yoochun last year right after the interview. I missed them already. Then I realize that, I haven't switch on my phone since yesterday. I'm sorry boys, I know that you all worried about me but I will call you later. Yoongi will be worried the most, same with the maknae. I'll be ready for Yoongi nagging at me. After all, it's my fault because I didn't tell them, I'm going for my leave.
It's half past seven, I better be ready. I took a quick 15 minutes shower. Then I put on my white off shoulder jumpsuit and a simple accessories to match with, just necklace and earrings. I put on a light make up to complete my simple yet classy look. I'm glad I brought a few selection of clothes, in case I go to any exclusive or fancy places here in Jeju. I check my appearance on the mirror a few times and satisfied with it. Now, I just have to wait for Ji-eun. While waiting for Ji-eun, I switch on the TV, and searching for a channel to watch.
A couple of minutes later, suddenly the room bell rings. I open it and it was Ji-eun.
"Ji-eun."
"Yoori. Sorry, I'm late. The traffic is quite heavy. Are you ready?"
"It's okay. It's still early. I'm ready but you don't want to come in?"
"No, maybe later. I'm sure we still have time, you're staying for week, right?"
"Yup. I rarely take time off, so I will use this opportunity as best as I can and you will help me. Since this is my first trip to Jeju, any recommendations for a place to visit?"
"Let's talk about this over dinner. Shall we?"
"Okay, let's go."
"It's on the 3rd floor. Do you prefer anything to eat? We have 3 selection of restaurant. One is Korean restaurant, then we also have Japanese restaurant and all dining restaurant."
"Japanese sound good but since we're in Jeju, I prefer Korean restaurant then. I love to try Jeju's unique delicacies."
"Great choice. Let's proceeds to Cheonjee room."
Ji-eun talk to the staff and he shows us our table.
"Ms Lee, this is your table, have a sit please. This is the menu, please take your time. Just call me, whenever you are ready."
"Thank you, Minho."
After a couple of minutes, we're ready to order. Ji-eun ordered a few dish for me to try, that can only be found in Jeju Island. While waiting for our food to be ready, I started our conversation by asking about her work.
"Ji-eun ah, how long have you been handling this hotel? Like you said before, you took it over from your father."
"Well, it has been 4 years now. My father actually monitor and provide guidance for the first year. It's so hard for me for the 1st two years but I'm glad my father always been around whenever I needed him."
"Is this your dream career? I mean, I don't remember you say anything about to be an entrepreneur back in highschool."
"Well, not really. But after highschool, I started to have interest in what my father are doing. I love how, he interact with people, how he got to meet people all over the world... So yeah, that's when I applied for Business and Hospitality Management at Yonsei University."
"I envy you. You being an entrepreneur at the very young age. That's amazing. I'm so proud."
"Ah Yoori, it's nothing. You're a successful writer too, and being a senior editor at one of the top Korean Entertainment magazine, if that's not an achievement then I don't know what it is. As long as I can remember, you've been always wanted to be a writer."
"I know right? Writing has been my passion. Wait, Ji-eun ah, I've been waiting to ask you this, have you been in contact with our other friends?"
"You mean, Bo Gum, Eunji, Yoongi and Seung Ho?"
"Yes....You know, I met Yoongi last year. You'll never want to know how we met, because you'll be laughing at me."
"Why, why? What happened?"
"I will tell you some other day. But yes, we've met. And he's the reason, why I'm here right now."
"Oh! Something happen? I know he's an Idol, a superstar. But I never met him once, I think because my family and I keep moving here and there. I never had the chance to meet him, after all he's a busy man."
"Wait...Let me show you something."
I show Ji-eun the article about me and Yoongi from my IPad.
"What??!! Sorry, I haven't seen this. Not that I don't follow any entertainment news, but because of work I rarely got to see it. Look at those picture, of course his fans would suspect something...ah Yoori, this is funny."
While we were talking, Minho come with all the dishes that Ji-eun order earlier.
"Enjoy your dinner, Ms Lee. Please call me, if you need anything."
"Thank you, Minho. We're good for now."
"Yoori, let's dig in, while talking. Where are we? Oh yes, you and Yoongi."
"Don't you dare laughing. I mean, we've been very careful...You know...with their fans. I feel guilty, that's why I'm here."
"You shouldn't have. That's not your fault.... But yeah, his fans doesn't know, both of you knew each other. They always jump into conclusion before knowing the truth.But still, you don't have to hide like this."
"Ji-eun ah.... I don't know. I'm not hiding.... It's just that I cannot meet him at the moment, guilty overwhelmed me. Let's just forget about this for now. Okay, what about Bo Gum, Seung Ho and Eunji?"
"Seung Ho and Eunji currently in Milan, actually since last year. Both of them are runway model. They're attached with a top runway model agency. And.... They were together."
"Wow! Runway model and in Milan, fantastic... Goodness, I missed a lot of things. Wait... What do you mean by "together"? You mean, they are couple?"
"Yup. Surprise, isn't it? They're not that closed to each other back in highschool. I'm closed to Seung Ho, Eunji closed to Bo Gum. You closed to Yoongi. Although, there's six of us. But, anything can happen. I accidentally met them, early last year when they have family gathering here, in this hotel. And Bo Gum, he's a successful lawyer with is own law firm."
"Awesome. All of you were very successful in your own field. I wish, I could meet them one day. Let's plan a gathering for the six of us. Not now but soon. Can you give me, their contact number, email, their SNS whatsoever? Is Bo Gum in Seoul?"
"Sure, I'll write it in a piece of paper. Yes, Bo Gum is in Seoul. Here it is, don't lose it."
"I'm a terrible friend Ji-eun. I hate myself for not trying to look for all of you. I'm sorry...really I am."
"No Yoori, don't say that. Past is past, let bygone be bygone. Whats matter is the present. I'm so glad and happy that I met you here, after so long. All of us will meet again soon. Don't worry."
"I promise, I will contact Bo Gum, Seung Ho and Eunji after this and plan a gathering."
"You will... Wow, we finish all the food while talking. So, how's the food?"
"Really good and very much to my liking. Overall, I love it. I'll make sure to fill in the feedback form before checkout."
"Sure, you do that...thank you. Oh before I forgot, this is my business card. I have my cellphone and email address there, as well as the hotel number. Call me okay?"
"I will surely be in touch with you after this. I will give you a call later, my cellphone is in my room. I switched it off."
"Why? Wait, let me guess...because of Yoongi, right? Yoori, you're savage. I'm sure Yoongi is going crazy looking for you right now. I can imagine him nagging at you later. Poor Yoongi."
"I'm ready for it. But not now... Let me enjoy and stay peacefully while talking to my beautiful, lovely friend here, Lee Ji-eun."
It's almost 11, when we really decide to leave the restaurant. I really had a good time talking with Ji-eun, recalling back the memories of our good old days. I'm suppose to ask about the place to visit in Jeju but I totally forgot. I promise to call her tomorrow and ask about it. After saying goodbye to Ji-eun, I straight away go up to my hotel room. I feel tired but happy at the same time. I wash up before when to bed. I'm not that sleepy yet actually. I switch on the TV and watches drama. I suddenly remember the piece of paper that Ji-eun gave me, the contact number of Bo Gum, Seung Ho and Eunji. I better save it on my cellphone before I forgot. And it's about time, I should switch on my cellphone. I took my cellphone and switch it on. As soon as I turned my cellphone back on, lots of notifications kept coming in. It doesn't stop beeping for 5 minutes straight. Hundreds of messages and missed calls. And I definitely know from who. Mostly from Yoongi and his members. I know, they are worried about me. I'm so ready for Yoongi nagging at me, but first let me just go through my message. On our group chat with the boys, most of the messages are from Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook. They asked if I'm okay, where am I and so on. I was about to check the other messages, when suddenly my phone ringing. I check at the caller and it's Jimin.
"Jim-
🐥Noooonnnaaaa.... Where have you been? Haish"
🐰Noona, are you okay? Where are you? We real-
🐱Yah! LEE YOORI..
I'm dead... Someone save me.
