"Girls. They're so freaking handsome!" Axel giggled while sticking his eyes on them.
I try to look at them but can't see them clearly because they are far from me. I'm nearsighted.
"Sis," Sheena called me while we were still standing and not yet leaving the hotel.
"Why?" I replied.
"It looks like Ivan is wearing a black shirt and shades," Sheena whispered.
"Who's Ivan?" I frowned at the question.
"The manner hand?" Sheena said.
My eyes widened, and I covered my mouth. "R-Really? You mean Ivan Tsu from RealSeven?" I uttered and looked again at the seven men.
"Can we get close to them?" Axel suggested.
"You fool. They don't want their privacy invaded, especially since they want to relax. Let's leave them alone." I said with authority.
Axel suddenly pulled my hair, so I frowned at him. "It hurts! What's your problem?" I asked irritably.
"We won't talk to them. We'll sit next to them, and then we'll get a magazine so it looks like we are reading and waiting for our friends." Axel smiled. "Let's make a scenario as well."
I stared at Axel. "I'm in."
"Guys, what we will do is unethical. We should not invade their privacy." Sheena protested.
"Sheena, don't be a killjoy. Come on!" Axel said.
As we headed to where the men sat, Axel created a scenario. He didn't inform us of the words he would release.
"Where are they? I'm already hungry." Axel acted as if he was starving.
Sheena and I faced in the other direction as we laughed at Axel's speech.
"What are they doing? Food should be eaten first, not their boyfriends," Axel said again.
I covered my hair to my face because I laughed hard at what Axel said. Sheena turned in the other direction, and I heard her laugh. Axel was already laughing, but he just held back so his nostrils were getting bigger.
I sat beside a man wearing shades, and Sheena and Axel sat before me. I looked at who was next to me before picking up the magazine.
Confirmed! Jacob is next to me.
"Louise!" Axel shouted my name.
I looked at Sheena, and we laughed because of Axel's sudden scream.
He's very noisy.
"W-What?" I asked as I could no longer breathe because of his ridiculousness.
"What is it? Confirm?" Axel asked.
Sheena suddenly laughed because of Axel's pronunciation, so I couldn't stop laughing.
"Y-Yeah, they are," I answered as I wiped away my tears because of him.
The three of us looked at them, and they looked at us as well. I was stunned because I couldn't believe RealSeven was in front of me. I looked back at Sheena and Axel, and we stood up and then faced them.
"We're very sorry for making some noise." I apologized before we turned our back on them and ran out of the hotel.
When we left the hotel, endless laughter happened to the three of us.
"I didn't expect RealSeven to go to a secluded resort," I said while smiling as we walked to find a nice spot. "Even more amazing is that they also went to this day."
"In fairness, guys, they're handsome," Axel said again.
"Legit!" I agree with what Axel said. "Those guys are already in their thirties, but the good looks still haven't faded." I giggled.
"I only know Ivan there," Sheena said while slightly pouting.
"He's the most popular in RealSeven. He's a social butterfly. Besides, he's very gentleman, even to the fans. They are all gentlemen. RealSeven consists of seven people; the oldest is Marvin; the next one is Johan, the leader; the third one is Ivan, the manner hand; and Jacob, the mother of RealSeven. The fifth is Yohan, the ball of sunshine, and the sixth is Karl, the naughtiest among them. And last is Justin, the youngest." I smiled widely.
Lord? We are in the same resort, and there are only two groups here, our group and RealSeven. Am I dreaming? Is RealSeven here?
"I hope we can get close to them," Axel said.
"You should do the move first. I know you're the most charismatic among us." I teased Axel.
"Louise, stand there, and I'll take a picture of you," Sheena said as she readied her camera.
I stood in a good spot and smiled at the camera. I was wearing only sky-blue shorts and a plain white shirt. We haven't changed our clothes yet.
The three of us also walked for a few hours to familiarize ourselves with this resort. It takes time to trust the staff. Maybe they planned to do something terrible to us, so we needed to know where to get out of here and if it had another way except the one we entered earlier. When we got hungry, we went straight to the hotel restaurant where we were staying. We immediately saw that our friends were already seated and that only three of us were missing.
"You didn't even wait for us." I pretended to complain while sitting next to Coleen.
Sheena sat next to me, and Axel sat next to her. We occupied two tables.
"Where did you get your food?" Axel asked.
"It's a buffet. Self-service." Haye sarcastically said.
"Just asking," Axel said while frowning.
The three of us stood up and approached the dishes. We took a plate first and then went to a different station to get some food. I was about to get a chicken, but suddenly, someone grabbed the tongs. Karl and I looked at each other.
"I'm sorry. You go first." Karl said to me while smiling widely.
"N-No. I'll wait." I gave him an awkward smile.
Is Karl the one in front of me? I still can't believe it.
"No. Lady first." Karl smiled sweetly again.
"A-All right. Thanks." I gave him an awkward smile, then took two chickens and quickly left before him.
I saw Sheena and Axel grabbing pizza, so I went to them. I waited for them to finish getting the pizza before I got mine. I was just about to get the biggest pizza slice when someone suddenly took over it. I saw Marvin with Jacob, took the biggest slice of pizza.
That's my favorite. Grr!
I grabbed the second biggest slice of pizza, and left them standing there.
"Where have you been?" Haye asked as she ate her food.
"We just took pictures," I answered briefly.
"You didn't even call us," Coleen said.
"We know you've eaten your boyfriends before you ate real food," Axel answered quickly.
We laughed because of what Axel said. Coleen was awkward at first, but later, she also laughed.
"Hey, guys. Did you know?" Axel began to speak again.
"What is it? Spill it, Axel." Marie asked impatiently.
"Earlier, while we were in the lounge, we saw some handsome men." Axel giggled.
Our friends just listened to him, but Sheena and I laughed because we remembered what Axel had done and said earlier.
"Is that them?" Lovie asked while pointing to a table near us.
We looked at what she was pointing to and saw seven handsome men. As usual, RealSeven is RealSeven, so their noise is more dominant than ours.
"Yes. Louise told us that they are RealSeven, one of her favorite K-pop boy groups," Sheena said.
"She's right. That's RealSeven. I noticed first Ivan Tsu." Laura whispered.
"Hey, Louise," Coleen called me. "He was always on your my day, wasn't it?"
She asked me while pointing at Marvin.
"Yes, we're fortunate to see them. Oh! It's just me. I'm only a RealSeven fan here. Laura and Sheena only know Ivan," I said again.
"Why don't you want to take a picture with them? I remember you wanted to go to their concert and see them. It's your chance! Come on! Louise!" Marie shouted.
"I don't want it. It isn't very comfortable. I don't want to approach them suddenly and then take a picture like a stupid. They're here to relax, and I don't want to ruin their vacation." I said while eating a piece of chicken.
Junior suddenly stood up. "Hi!" He shouted at RealSeven.
I looked at Junior and shook my head. He didn't fail, and he got the attention of RealSeven. There was only RealSeven and us, so they could notify us.
"Hi!" I heard Ivan's greeting.
I know it's Ivan because of his accent.
"They don't want their privacy to be invaded, so stop it," I whispered as I put ketchup on my pizza.
"She's your fan." Laura suddenly said as she pointed her index finger at me.
I slapped her hand and looked at her badly. Laura smiled at me, so I closed my eyes out of embarrassment.
"Really? What's her name?" I heard Karl ask.
"Her name is Louise," Axel replied.
"Hi, Louise!" I heard them say at once.
I took a deep breath first. Then I faced them. I smiled awkwardly and waved at RealSeven.
"H-Hi?" I said, but I'm asking them.
"Oh!" Jacob was surprised to see me. "You were the noisy girl earlier, right?" He asked.
"No. I-I'm just laughing at his jokes." I said while pointing at Axel. "He was the one who kept on talking earlier. And as far as I remember, we apologized for being noisy."
"Hey, calm down," Jacob said while laughing. "Don't worry. We're not mad at you. Just see you around, guys." Jacob waved at us and looked at me before returning to eating.
My friends bombarded me with many questions, so Axel told the whole story. He knew better what he was doing before. After eating, my friends left the hotel, and I went to our room to nap. I hadn't even entered our room yet when Yohan smiled at me.
"Hi," Yohan said.
I looked behind me first, maybe because he was greeting someone, but there was no one. I looked at him again and frowned.
"Y-You greeted me?" I stuttered.
"Yes." Yohan smiled.
I just nodded and smiled back at him.
"By the way, I have to go. See you around." He said goodbye and waved at me.
The smile I gave Yohan seemed to indicate that I had diarrhea. He's the sunshine of RealSeven and its fans, and his smile is contagious. When I entered our room, I jumped on the bed and yawned loudly. I opened my Instagram account and looked at RealSeven's Instagram stories.
We are really in the same place.
The world is small, and we met at a hidden resort in La Union. I slept for a few hours and woke up at 4 in the afternoon. I stretched first, then wore a rashguard. I went out on the veranda and saw some people's figures. As I tied my hair, I looked to my left because I could see in my peripheral vision that someone was also on that veranda, and I saw Marvin while staring into space.
"Hey," I called him.
I should've stopped myself from calling him.
Marvin looked at me and smiled. "Hey."
I faced the sea again because I realized that I was in trouble. Marvin is from LA, and he speaks English fluently. I don't want to speak him.
Louise, you're stupid. Aish!
"Your friends are over there. They are having fun. Why are you alone in your room?" Marvin asked.
"A-Ah." Damn, what can I say here? "I-I just woke up, but I'll go to them later," I replied.
We became silent, and I didn't know how to break this awkwardness. I'm not used to this.
"A-Ahem. By the way, where are your members?" I asked Marvin again.
"They are with your friends," Marvin said briefly when he noticed I couldn't see them all. He pointed somewhere, so I looked at what he was pointing. I can't see well because of my poor eyesight.
Our eyes met the moment he looked at me. I'm staring now at the person who became my inspiration when I was in college.
He's more handsome in real life.
