[06 MARCH 2019 | THIRD PERSON POV]

She was standing in front of a café.

She noticed the pinwheel spinning by the door as she went in.

She didn't notice the name of the café but she recognized a very familiar figure.

He had his back towards her but she'd know that figure anywhere.

He was at the counter, ordering a whole lot of drinks.

She realized she was dreaming again.

With a skip in her step, she went up to greet him.

"Ya! Choi Seungcheol!"

He turned around, surprised and confused at first. He did manage to smile after seeing and recognizing her.

"Hey! Girl-who-suddenly-leaves-me-everytime-I-talk-to-her!"

She laughed.

Her mind was making up a very funny Seungcheol, quite unlike the image of the real person.

This is probably her mind's way of relieving her stress.

"It's Alecx, in case you forgot. And you're funny. But I honestly don't know what you are talking about."

"Of course I'm funny. I'm the funniest in Seventeen."

"Sure you are."

Alecx was what her pre-Carat era friends called her.

Also, she honestly thought Seungkwan was the funniest SVT member, with his impersonations.

But this confident Seungcheol was too adorable to oppose.

"Hmmm. Why do I feel like you're just forced to say that?"

She laughed again, her usual belly laugh.

This confident Seungcheol was a version she wanted to see every day.

"Drinks at the counter for S.Coups!"

They both turned to the claiming area.

"Are those for the other members?"

"Yeah. I lost at a game again and this is the punishment."

"Wow. I bet Jeonghan did some kind of 'magic' for that to happen, huh?"

"You know what? I think so, too."

They both laughed.

"I'm getting hooked on your laugh, Alecx. It's contagious."

She thought this felt so good.

They were talking comfortably.

She was thankful this was all happening in a dream.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the courage to approach him, much less talk to him.

"You should get going. The boys are probably waiting for those."

"That's too bad. I wanted to stay a little longer, but..."

She felt his hesitation and the disappointment in his voice.

They were already leaving the café and were about to part ways.

"We can just meet again. How about a planned meeting next time?"

Wow! She never thought she'd be setting up a date with Choi Seungcheol, even in a dream.

"That would be awesome."

He seemed quite pleased with her suggestion.

"Cool! Same café at 6 pm tomorrow?"

"It's a date!"

Seungcheol said that with a wink as he went off.

She was (for lack of a better term) attacked.

Then, everything went black.


----------------- [07 MARCH 2019 | DENISSE]

My friends and I woke up very early because of the cold air circulating in our hotel room.

We turned up the heater and managed to shower and get dressed quickly.

We decided to spend the whole day visiting the rest of the tourist spots we missed during yesterday's outing.

Our itinerary included historical sites and food districts.

Of course, we had to try bingsu and samgyeopsal.

We went to the palace first and had our photos taken wearing hanbok.

We roamed around and had a whole lot of photoshoot sessions at almost every corner of the palace.

I guess it was more tiring than we expected so when we felt hunger pangs reminding us that we had not had a bite to eat, we just went to the nearest place we saw.

McDonald's.

Bingsu and samgyeopsal would simply have to wait.

Feeling quite worn out with all the outfit changes and posing we did for the camera, we returned to the hotel just before 6 p.m.

After a quick shower, we all turned in early for a good night's sleep.

After all, we needed to wake up early the next morning to prepare for the concert.
