"Ah! Finally some fresh air!" Yerin beamed while jumping around like a child on the main deck of this ferry boat. Taehyung and I chuckle at how cute she is.

I'm really glad that Yerin and I gotten really close this year. If it weren't for her bubbly personality, I would probably be a typical loner at school. She has this contagious smile that you wouldn't be able to resist. I guess that's one of the reason why her ultimate crush at school fell in love with her, now they're a couple.

"OMO! Seagulls! Let's feed it!" She exclaimed pointing at the sky above us. "Wait here. I have crackers in my bag." She ran back to our seats where Mingyu and Jungha are.

I've noticed that those two have gotten really close this past few days. I think it's a good thing that Mingyu have been talking to other people and not just me or his cousin Taehyung. I'm pretty sure his reason why he agreed to go with us isn't just because my mom wants him to chaperone me, he want to relax as well. I can see them laughing from where I'm standing and I smiled at the view.

I hardly see Mingyu laugh or smile like that. The way he smile when he looks at me is stained with worry and sadness. This is the first time that I saw him smile without a single concern written on his face.

"Hey, you alright?" Taehyung nudged me with his elbow.

"Yeah. Why?" I said, eyes are still locked on the two.

"Did you enjoy the ride?" He said looking out onto the vast sea, his arms supporting his leaning figure.

"What do you mean?" Now he has my full attention. I started to get nervous, praying that no one saw me and Jungkook a while ago.

"You don't have to pretend. I saw all of it." He looked up to me.

"I really don't know what you're talking about."I started to be restless.

"Why can't the two of you just admit that you still love each other and save yourselves from all this drama?" He placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Don't you see? His girlfriend is in there." I gestured my hands towards Jungha and his eyes followed. I feel worn out and defeated.

"As far as I know he doesn't have-" He was cut by Yerin's arrival.

"It looks like we won't be able to feed the birds." She pouted and Taehyung started pinching her cheeks. "We're near the pier already." She pointed at the island where we'll be staying.

"It's okay Yerin, we'll feed them next time." I smiled.

We arrived at Udo Island around lunch time. Cars are allowed to be brought in the ferry so Jimin didn't hesitate to bring it with us even though the fee for it is a little expensive. He insisted in bringing it or else we'll be riding tourist bus to get around Udo Island.

This time, Taehyung and Yerin took the chance to seat on the back of the car. Leaving me between Jungkook and Mingyu, while the Park siblings are in the front. I looked back at Taehyung who's clearly enjoying what he has done. My eyes moved to Yerin, asking for friendly support but all I received was a half smile.
