"You see that beautiful skyline over there. That's the city that never sleeps. Grey's home," Jiwoon sighed tiredly with a smile. We were driving from New Jersey to New York, and some of us might have pulled an all nighter. Grey included. She had been so excited to finally go home to her city (or one of them). So miss "I can't sleep when it's daylight" was resting her head against the window beside Yuna. "I'll wake her up!" Nari yelled, and just as she was about to smack Grey's head, Jiwoon yelled, "Stop right there, young lady! Let her sleep till we drive in the tunnel. She needs as much rest as she can get. She really wants to show you around later. She has been planning her tour for you guys around her three home towns since the tour was announced."

That sounds like Grey. Planning a little guided tour of her life for us, but I have a feeling Jiwoon is only telling us this because Grey doesn't want to bother us by asking. She once told me that she feared rejection, but it has gotten better throughout the years. Although I think she was kinda triggered last week, when Sakura told her that Grey's favourite movie was boring and she didn't seem to understand afterwards that Grey was hurt by that statement. She had been so excited to watch it with us, but we ended up watching another movie instead. Grey's attention was on either the tv screen or her phone throughout the night, not wanting to look at any of us. It's probably just an old habit of hers to shut down, I don't know...

Anyways the last couple of weeks of touring has been unforgettable and hectic. Meeting so many people who loves us and supports us felt like a dream. Standing on the stage looking at all the lights... It was like watching a galaxy... I miss home, but I also enjoy the tour so much... Each time we left a city, I felt a bit sad, but also happy... So the mixed up feelings left me tired at the end of the day...

Speaking of tired... As we drove under the tunnel, that separated New Jersey from New York, Yuna nudged Grey's arm and woke the snoring girl up. "Where am I? Oh... Wait... Are we already beneath the tunnel? But you promised to wake me up, so I could watch the sky line?" She shot a glare in Jiwoon's direction. "You finally getting your much needed rest is far more important," He stated, making Grey huff annoyed by our manager's overprotective statement, which I to be honest agreed with. Grey needed all the sleep she could get. She didn't sleep on the flights, nor did she sleep in daylight if she could avoid it. Grey and Jiwoon has known each other for the longest and it showed. We all were close to him, but not in the same way as Grey. The majority of the time they acted like professionals but at times, they annoyed each other like siblings.

Anyways as we drove into the city, the loud traffic kinda multiplied in volume. Grey sighed with a smile, while I felt the home sickness getting worse as it reminded me of Seoul. "Time to decide The roomies for New York," Jiwoon Said. By the same colour draw stick thing as we always did, it was decided that I was staying with Nari, Grey and Yuna was staying together and Sakura was going to stay on her own. I just hope that I will able to get some sleep, when I'm sharing the room with the most hype one...

GREY

It was our second day in New York, and the girls were meeting my parents and friends today. Waking up to the loud honking and sirens made me smile, and I sighed peacefully as I pushed my duvet aside, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed and grabbing the remote to automatically push the curtains aside. Revealing the soft morning light, reflecting on the tall buildings' windows. I opened the balcony door, walking outside to the fresh city air and loud noise of the city multiplying in volume around me.

"Oi!" I looked behind me, discovering Yuna in the doorframe with a smile. "Hey, you're awake!" I said, making her nod. We walked inside to change before grabbing our phones from their chargers. Yuna slipped her phone into her pocket, while I put mine in my clear bag. We made the beds as neatly as possible, making sure everything was secure before walking down the hallway to the elevators. We were meeting the other girls in the lobby before getting breakfast and getting the "Life of Claire La'Fountaine" tour around the city.
