Now we became to compete over
who is heavier
It became a tinderbox for a war
It seems like, eventually,
someone will have to get off to end it...

You had a wonderful vacation and rested well. You spend more time on the beach. You went to the hotel gym to get rid of all calories. The hotel management kept their word, and no unauthorized people could enter. Their security was tighter than ever. You enjoyed the short vacation in Busan.

You used the last days to go to all the historical places, and museums and took innumerable photos of each other you decided to make a vacation book as a gift to your friends and compile all the memories of your student life.

You and Yerin decided to visit Coex Mall for the day. You both need to stock up on your beauty products. Even if you like to buy online or get your complimentary gift bags from cosmetic companies, you still love to shop with friends.

Yerin needs to develop some of the vacation photos she took on the "Destiny Calls" You put on your white shirt and thin, maroon long sweater with light blue skinny jeans. You like to wear underrated and unassuming clothing for minimum exposure.

Luckily you didn't forget to wear your bucket hat. Yerin opts for looking extra cute in a navy dress and flats. You decided to take the bus. Although Yerin got her car, she wanted you to ride the bus with her; cause wants to enjoy the sights.

You scan your T-money card, paid for both of you and went to sit at the back. Make sure you got your oversized sunglasses on. You feel so light. The new semester has started, and you all passed the exams. You can't be more excited about start planning your life.

You bought yourself Basking Robbin's ice cream cones. You make sure you and Yerin buy all the necessities.

Yerin went into a TopTen department store to check out their perfumes. You follow her quietly inside.

Yerin fans herself after she sprayed on a tester" Oh Y/n come to smell this one...flowery with a pinch of vanilla."

You smell the little bottle: " Hmm, the smell is not so strong, but it's delicately sweet. I like something different."

There is a distinct scent that you wanted to get for your dad, and it was such a sensual, spicy and robust smell. You looked everywhere for it but you couldn't order a million scents as testers.

Your dad's birthday is coming up soon, and you wanted to surprise him. You and Yerin are snuffling at all the testers.

You looked around for the men's perfumes section it was located on the other side. While Yerin is buying a few bottles of her favorite perfume, you move to that side of the store designated for men's clothing and accessories. You bought cute socks for your dad, pj's and now you look for the right perfume.

Others are very much expensive. You can't buy anything that cost more than your year's tuition fees. It will raise a lot of questions, especially with Yerin. She thinks you, are middle class, but this gift is for your dad. You have to be discreet.

Two men stood by the sunglasses and gloves near the perfume counter. You hope they're not up to mischief cause you'll be too lazy to apprehend them.

You pick up the smallest bottle and start sniffing. You pulled your face away. Yuck! Gingerly smell. You will have to try all 20 testers.

One of the guys stood opposite you. He got a black mask on and cool hoodie jacket and a black snapback. You saw those skull motifs on a designer's website, and it must've cost almost over $800. Hmm, rich guy.

His friend got a blue mask and a red bucket head. They whisper to themselves. You ignore them. You picked up the last bottle in the row and sniffed it. It is called Clive Christian brand No one cologne. Wow, the price is $560

You smelled it again by spraying a bit on your wrist ...until your eyes widened with realization at the woodsy fragrance.OMG.. this is it!

You wanted to spray some on your neck, if possible on the face, maybe hair...gosh this scent it's engraved in your memory. It was "his" scent.

You look at it in awe and fascination as if you couldn't believe you've finally found it. You wanted to hug the bottle. You giggle happily as you turned it around in the light-what a beautiful design.

"OMG, I found you at last...my favorite scent sandalwood and cinnamon spice..."

You are unaware of the guys that heard you and amusedly watched you falling in love with a perfume bottle. One of the guy's eyebrows furrows as he observes your smile.

His heart started to beat erratically. He felt a deep tug in his chest when he secretly glace up to look at you across the perfume counter.

Then he visibly paled cause he recognises the Cupid shape 'eagle beak' top lip. When you throw your fiery red hair sideways to dub the men's cologne on your neck, blood drains from his face immediately when he spotted a beautiful, unique heart-shaped birthmark under your ears on your neck. He stood transfixed on the spot when he saw another pretty girl running excitedly up to you with a clothing item.

"Ji-Ho!Ji-Ho! Check out this cardigan, will it fit your dad?
You nod, looking at the size. "... try a larger size...Dad's belly is bigger" you both chuckled at the thought.

Yerin giggled " This vacation we spend all our university pocket money...we're going to be the poorest full-time students... ok let me get a bigger size...do you like the color Ji-Ho"?

You nod" he likes green..."

Yoongi watch your friend moving around the aisles to continue with her shopping. His eyes watched you moving away to pay for your perfume.

Yoongi couldn't believe his eyes...What the...! The girl's name is Ji-Ho, and she's a full-time university student...Who the freaking hell is this girl?

Yoongi still stood frozen on the spot mumbling incoherently to himself..." It can't be ...it's impossible...no I'm hallucinating... what is happening to me ?.why do I see things that are not existing...no..no...Jisoo... but also not Jisoo."

Jhope that was watching him wide eyes talking and mumbling under his breath, "Yoongi Huyng ...is everything ok..."

But Yoongi is in another world totally out of his element until determination pulled him into action. His feet got a brain of their own and dragged him through the aisles frantically toward the object of interest.

Jhope with wide eyes" what the ..! Yoongs!!!," he whispers- yelled. He doesn't want to cause attention to be aimed at them. He ran after Yoongi making sure his hat covers his face.

Yoongi looked frantically around for the girl, but you could find her nowhere. He speeds walk from isle to isle looking for the girl with his 'lost loves face' Jhope is also running after him..what's with Yoongi these says.

Yoongi frantically yelled softly. "I need to get to her..where is she? " he despondently looked up to Jhope who was panting from the unnecessary waste of energy.

Jhope with confusion " what you talking about. Huyng?" he stops Yoongis pacing around with his hand on his shoulders, turning his friend around.

Yoongi's eyes look far off and unfocused." I ...I saw her Hobi..she's ..she's.. her but not ...omg ..what's happening!! It just can't be ?"
He looked utterly confused with what he just saw.

Before Jhope could further interrogate his Huyng, a few girls there spotted them, and they hear yells and screams mixed with excited squeals surrounding them. How did they...Fans will know every detail of them. How strange!

"Guys it's BTS Suga and Jhope...we love you...Hobi !!!"

"Min Yoongi ...Hobi we love you..."

" ill meow meow..we love you!"

A few fangirls even guys pulled out their cameras and took photos of Yoongi and Jhope. Jhope quickly took charge of the situation. Somebody will post these photos online before the end of the day.

He pulled Yoongi out of his stupor and quickly dragged him out of the shop with a few fans chasing after them, creating a mob.

Yoongis' mind was too clouded to think correctly, as he was dragged by Jhope, to escape the overly excited girls chasing after them.

Jhope hand was firmly on Yoongi- Huyng's wrist, who was still in a daze. He maneuvers them through the crowd of people in the mall trying to escape the mob.

They safely got to the underground parking into Jhopes' Red Range Rover and quickly drove out of the parking lot.

He looked concerned and with alarm at Yoongis'pale's face. He looked whiter than before.

He turns to a quiet Yoongi. Something is wrong with his Huyng.

"Yoongi ...w..what was that in there?"

Yoongi just laid his head back on the headrest with tightly shut eyes.

Yoongi replied in a tired voice," drive...Hobi!" rubbing his hands over his face.

Jhope furrows his brows in confusion and sighs, paying attention to the traffic in front of him.

.......💜💜.......

Meanwhile ...

You took quickly a box of perfume looking around for your friend who is still shopping for cute sportswear. You quickly snuck to the baby wear department counter around the corner to pay for your purchases. The cashier's eyes bulged when she looked at the price tag of the perfume.

She looked at you, your clothing, and your age, to assess your social stand.

She said with a sweet voice" Sweety ...You do know this is one of the most expensive items in the whole shop...?"

You smile brightly, and inwardly you are boiling with anger for the blatant disregard. That is a typical judgmental attitude.

You snapped " Yes, I'm perfectly aware of it...can you just process it, there's a line waiting to service."

The cashier looked around embarrassed when she saw some older women looking at her with rising eyebrows. She quickly apologized to you and scanned your items. You gave her your phone to check for the payment.

She was still amazed that you could afford such an item dressing like a simple student.

Yerin quickly paid for her stuff, and you walked out of the shop in high spirits. You know your father will love the gift. You'll tell him it cost $ 56 only if he asked.

You and Yerin wonder why there's a mob of girls running through the mall as you set down at a cute coffee shop near the window. It seems they are running after someone.

Yerin laughs lightly " I think they spot a celebrity."

" glad no one spotted Jisoo today" you chuckled.

Yerin giggled" with your laziness, we wouldn't be able to get away far if a mob has to chase us."

"I feel sorry for that person. That is the price of fame "you said.

The waitress came and took your order. Both of you settled for bagels and tea. You discussed the day so far. You feel so pleased when you found the cologne that you smelled on a certain someone.

You'd indulged yourself in that scent, engraved in your memories. At least your Dad will smell good. Just hope he is not allergic to it. If he is, you'll use it.

You and Yerin went back to your dorms to pack your bags for the rest of the holidays. After the week-long vacation, there are still more summers left. You knew that you wouldn't go home. Yerin didn't feel like going home either.

So you decided to rent an apartment near Gangnam City. It will be the best time to look for business premises for your future beauty spa. Yerin will be actively involved with the management. You'll help with marketing and hiring.

For three weeks, you found a cute furnished apartment. The rental wasn't too high. You were so filled with excitement for your rental apartment, and you can't wait to buy your next year. Yerin immediately decided that you need to go groceries shopping and decorative candles.

"Let's first call Tzuyu and give her the address for this place. She must come for a sleepover later this week."
You suggest.

"Yeah..but let's make sure that we have her favorite snacks" Yerin open the cupboards to assess the space for the number of groceries you're going to buy.

The apartment is so cool with tones of blue, black, and neutrals. You chose your room and unpacked your bags. Yerin decided to dress in shorts cause the air is so humid and warm.

For the coming weeks, you will do the cooking. You loved your kimchi dishes. You cannot wait to try out the stainless steel pots.
You took your wallet and your Hermes handbag, which you explain to an admiring Yerin that it's a birthday gift from a rich aunt.

Fortunately, Yerin got her car. You told your mom that you'd be saving for a car on your own. You don't want your parents' money, especially your mom's.

She'll buy you stuff and complain later about it. So, you just decided to work for your luxuries and fewer fights. Your scholarship monies will pay the rest.
