12 Chapter 11

(y/n) thought she was back in her house. She thought she'd see her room's walls full of BND's and BrightWin's pictures. She thought yesternight was just a dream. That it wasn't real.

But she was still there, there in that wooden room, in that wooden house.

She got up and fixed her bed. She opened the door and was about to go out when she saw her luggage bag. She raised her brows, who put this here? Perhaps Win? She shook off the idea and just pulled the bag inside.

She found a white towel and flip flops inside. She even found a small box of body soap and a pack of shampoo in her bag's pockets. How odd the kidnappers still prepared her those.

She went out of her room and walked to the bathroom. She expected to see the four men sitting on the sofa but the living room's empty. "Sa'n yung mga 'yon? (Where are they?)" she asked herself. Perhaps outside? She just shrugged and entered the bathroom.

When she stepped inside, her nose wrinkled. "Ugh, amoy sabon ng lalake. (Ugh, smells like men soap.)"

She hung her towel on the rack on the back of the door and then examined the bathroom. The walls were waxed wooden as well as their rooms, the floor was tiled brown mosaic floor tiles. There was a small rectangular window on the wall placed high above so the person inside couldn't be seen. There was the shower with a heater, the toilet with a bidet, and a sink that had liquid hand soap that smelled like strawberry.

She stepped in front of the shower and then turned it on. While taking a shower, what happened yesternight suddenly flashed in her mind.

She was splashing water on her face that time when she heard JN and Tae arguing. She wanted to go out because she didn't want to eavesdrop but her body felt like it had a mind of its own. She stayed there and listened even though she couldn't understand a single word.

"(y/n), SASAENG FAN. (y/n), ACTING. (y/n), KIDNAPPER."

She went back to reality when a tear trickled down her right cheek. Stop, he didn't mean it, she thought. Even though it's done, the words still stung. She thought Tae could never do that to his fan, she thought he was kind-- Stop. He didn't mean it. He just wanted to be back home.

After taking a shower, she just wore a simple gray shirt, blackboard shorts, and flip flops.

She tried checking the four men's room but it was empty. So she decided to check outside.

"Good morning, (y/n)!" Win was waving at her from the seashore. He was wearing a plain white shirt, black board shorts, and Havaianas.

Tae waved his hand, "Gu...moling… (Good morning)" He was wearing a plain brown shirt, white shorts, and Havaianas as well. When (y/n) and his eyes met, his eyes seemed like they were apologizing. (y/n) forced a smile and looked away. She can't help but remember the words he called her whenever she looked at him.

When she looked at the horizon, her mouth fell open. The sky was blue with a few clouds, the sea's crystal-clear, and the smooth sand was white. The view was perfect. Plus the two handsome guys waving at her from the seashore.

She hoped she could borrow Tae's camera and take a shot of that picturesque.

She once again looked down at them and realized they were holding a... "Badminton racket?" she asked with her brow furrowed.

Win followed her gaze, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that we found a second door in our room that led to a small room. And then, we found these and other sports and board games." How come I didn't see that door earlier?, (y/n) thought.

"By the way, breakfast is in the kitchen." Win said.

"Oh, okay."

After eating, she decided to go outside and sit on the sand as she watched Tae and Win play badminton. But when she opened the door, she saw them sitting on the sand beside each other, their back facing her.

(y/n) walked to them and realized Tae was holding his camera, clicking buttons.

"Hey…" She said to the two.

The boys turned to look at her. "Oh, hi (y/n)!" said Win, showing his signature smile.

"Sit with us," he said and then tapped the space on his right. (y/n) did what he said and stared at the beautiful sea.

"Aren't you, two, playing?" she asked.

"Running on sand is very tiresome." Win said and chuckled.

Win's head turned to Tae when Tae tapped his shoulder. "Can… I picture you and (y/n)?" asked Tae.

(y/n) and Win exchanged looks. "Would it be okay for you?" Win asked her.

"Uhh, yeah sure." (y/n) answered.

Win nodded to Tae and his eyes lit up. He then stood up and walked near the sea. "Here, stand." He said.

(y/n) and Win both stood up and walked to where Tae was standing. After, Tae walked back to where they were sitting and knelt. He raised his camera on his eyes and counted to three.

Their back was facing the sea as Tae took pictures. And while he was taking pictures, (y/n)'s heartbeat was pounding really fast. Like a horse running.

Knowing that she, an ordinary girl from the Philippines, is taking pictures with a famous Thai actor and a global artist as their photographer can really make her heart beat so fast and her mind not believing any of that.

While Tae was showing them the pictures, Bright and JN suddenly came walking with long root sticks on their hands.

(y/n), Win and Tae walked to them.

JN and Bright exchanged looks before they turned to them.

"We got news," said JN.
