Alex woke bright and early to have her coffee on the deck. She checked her emails to make sure she wasn't missing anything urgent, then sat and watched the water as the sun made its way into the sky. She was feeling overly nice that morning, and decided to make a full buffet style breakfast. She prepared two kinds of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits with gravy, and hash browns. It was the ultimate American style breakfast. She headed downstairs to start waking the guys up.

She tiptoed into Tae and Jin's room first. She tickled Tae's ear till he sleepily opened his eyes. "Wakey wakey, breakfast is ready. Get Jin hyung up and I'll go wake the others." Tae nodded his head as he rubbed his eyes. Next she went to RM and Hobi's room. She crept up to Hobi's side of the bed then bent to ruffle his hair, "Rise and shine sleeping beauty. Breakfast is upstairs." He rolled over and stretched his whole body. "Wake Joonie up, too."

She tiptoed past Yoongi on the floor on her way to Jimin and Jungkook's room. She walked over to Jimin's side and shook his shoulder till he crankily opened his eyes and glared at her. "Morning cutie, you wanna wake JK up so we can have breakfast?" He nodded his head then grabbed Alex around the waist and pulled her over him and JK, "Get her!" JK had been pretending to sleep and suddenly pounced. They tickled Alex until she was breathless from laughter.

Yoongi had woken up and yelled from the other room, "Get your hands off my woman or I'll break them!" Jimin and JK threw their hands in the air as Alex scooted off the bed laughing at them. They quickly jumped out of bed and hid behind Alex as she walked out into the living room where Yoongi was still laying in the bed. They rushed up the stairs to join the rest of the guys before Yoongi could come after them.

Alex shook her head and laughed. Yoongi sat up on the air mattress, his hair sticking out on one side, and he only had one eye open as he looked around. She knelt down to sit on the mattress next to him, "Well don't you look sexy this morning. Care for a brush?" She chuckled as she smoothed his hair down with her fingers. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down on the mattress to lay next to him.

He curled his arm around her and laid his head on her shoulder, "Let's just go back to sleep, no one will notice." Alex huffed out a laugh, "No one except my mother, who will come down here to get us if we don't go up."

Yoongi let out a sigh, "Fine, but when we get back to South Korea, I'm locking you up in my house with me where no one can interrupt us."

Alex pictured laying with Yoongi in his bed back home, no interruptions, just him and Holly. The thought had butterflies fluttering in her stomach. "I think we can make some kind of arrangement. She leaned down and kissed the top of his head, "Now up! Breakfast is getting cold." She wiggled up off the mattress and headed upstairs with Yoongi in tow.

After breakfast, which was about noon now, everyone had gone to change into their swimsuits and headed down to the dock. Jin grabbed out a fishing pole to try his luck again, while the others reclined in the sun loungers or chairs.

Hobi was applying sunblock to his face, "So what's the plan for today?"

Sabrina was over by the cooler grabbing drinks for everyone, "Well, we can just swim or do the jet skis today. I figured we could just relax. Later we can take the boat out and do some tubing. OH! We can take you on the mini mansion tour." Her eyes lit up as she looked at them.

"Mini mansion tour?" Yoongi was intrigued.

Sabrina nodded her head, "You can cruise around the lake and see all the giant houses along the cliffs and lakeside. They aren't actual mansions, but they are way bigger than your average house. It's something to do in the evening when it gets cooler and everyone wants to kick back on a boat ride".

"Sounds good to me, I wouldn't mind just cruising on the water as the sun sets." RM took the drink Sabrina offered him.

"Then it's settled. Afterwards we'll come back and have fried chicken and beer for dinner." The guys were looking forward to that.

Later after they had fished and rode the jet skis for a while, they had a late lunch on the dock before they headed out on the boat. Sabrina took them to a secluded cove so they could take turns tubing without worrying about running into other boats.

Even Yoongi hopped in the water to take a spin on the tube with Jimin. Alex recorded them on her phone as Sabrina drove in circles, taking them up over the boat's wake to try and bump them off the tube. Yoongi clung to it like a cat with claws and never fell in the water. Jimin unfortunately flew five feet in the air before crashing into the water in a back flop. The guys on the boat were cracking up and taking pictures of him.

When they had finally tired themselves out, they pulled the tube in and spread out around the boat as Sabrina took them for the mini mansion tour. The sun was starting to set leaving the sky lit up in purples, pinks, and soft orange hues. They came around a turn into a cove and a beautiful two story sprawling stone house came into view. It was partially tucked behind a grove of trees, and had its own dock with a water slide. It looked like it was the only house around in that area, whereas the other houses they had seen seemed to be clustered together.

"Wow, I don't remember this house. It's beautiful." Alex knelt in her seat to lean against the side of the boat to get a better view as they passed the house. "Oh look! It's for sale. I would kill to have a house like that on the lake. Can you imagine the price of that thing?"

Sabrina slowed the boat down as they looked at it, "I think that's a newer one that was built in the last ten years. It hasn't been here very long. I wonder why they have it for sale already."

Hobi had come to kneel beside Alex to look at the house, "Wow, this would have been a great place to film "In The Soop"." Alex looked at him and nodded her head.

"OK, on to look at more." Sabrina started the boat back up and headed back the way they came to tour more of the lake.

"This is so nice, I wish I had a boat." Tae was sitting with his legs stretched out in front of him as the air blew his hair around his face. "I would love to come out here at sunrise or sunset and just enjoy the peace and quiet."

Sabrina smiled, "It's the little things that are the most enjoyable."

Alex had sat back down in her seat. Yoongi scooted over to hold her hand as the boat continued its adventure around the lake. "How big is this lake?" He looked over at Sabrina.

"It goes on for miles. We wouldn't be able to travel around the entire thing. This is just a small portion of it that we've driven around today."

As it got darker, Sabrina finally turned the boat around and headed back to their dock. After they arrived back, they unloaded the cooler and grabbed their towels to take up to the house. Yoongi went inside and disappeared, while Alex and Sabrina went upstairs to order their dinner. Everyone took showers while they waited for the food to arrive, then headed out to the upstairs deck with drinks and music. Alex looked around, "Where's Yoongi?"

"He closed himself up in one of the bedrooms when we got back. Oh wait, here he is." Jungkook smiled when Yoongi walked out.

"Sorry, I had to take care of something real quick." He sat next to Alex and grabbed a drink.

The atmosphere that night was full of relaxation and contentment. They talked about old memories, told stories about things that were never released to the public, and had Alex and her mom reminiscing over their time since they had become ARMY.

Sabrina was several drinks in and feeling it, "I hope you guys know just how special you are. Not just as individuals, but as a group. I know it's cheesy to say, but you really have changed peoples lives. In all sorts of ways. All walks of life. My life was boring till I found you all."

RM laughed into his hand, "Well, we're glad we could make a part of your life happy. That's what we enjoy hearing most, is that we made a difference."

Yoongi was already on his way to a good drunk as well. He looked over at Alex with a cheesy grin and slapped his hand on hers, then looked at Sabrina, "I think it's safe to say you guys have made me happy too. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have met Lex."

Sabrina pressed her lips together tightly trying not to laugh, then turned her head and made a gagging sound. "Wow, that was sappy."

The guys all burst out laughing. Alex's eyes had gone wide and her cheeks had turned red, "Mother! Don't be rude!"

Sabrina was laughing along with the guys, "Oh come on, you know I'm joking. I wouldn't pick on him if I didn't like him." She reached over and pinched Yoongi's cheek.

He just laughed, too clouded by alcohol to mind, "See," He looked over at Alex and pointed to his smile, "happy."

Alex rolled her eyes and downed her drink, "I think I need to catch up to you all. I'm apparently not drinking enough."

They stayed up talking until the drinks ran out. Sabrina finally stood up to head to bed, "You boys better get some sleep. We're going somewhere fun tomorrow. Wear comfy shoes." She headed inside.

"I guess that means I have to go to bed too. Night guys." Alex headed inside with her mom.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired myself, let's head down." RM helped Jin out of his chair as they all headed to bed. He stopped Yoongi on the way in, "Is everything ok? Was something wrong earlier?"

"No, everything is fine. You'll see later." He patted RM's back as he walked by him down the stairs.
