"That's your 56th sigh for today, what's wrong with you?" Maki asks sitting beside me as I lean my face at the seat in front of me.

We are right now heading over to the bus as the meeting is soon beginning and it's a whole 2 hour drive over to the private area. Since this is the first they have ever done this, they are making it as expensive as possible, in my opinion. But, who am I to argue with them?

"It's nothing." I respond still thinking back to the night yesterday.

The flashes of the memories of my friends from junior high appear in my head, including with my ex-boyfriend. It kills me to think about him as I have a hate relationship for him but had a love relationship before. Both those feelings mix time to time as I remember how lovable he was, despite him acting.

"It can't be nothing cause this is now your 57th sigh." Ian appears in front of me as he occupies the seat before me.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?" George asks popping up beside Ian as they are seatmates.

"Please tell me you're not sick." Owen adds behind Maki with Jason as his seatmate.

"It is nothing, no I'm not nervous or sick." I answer to all their questions, "Just thinking about something you guys don't have to worry about."

They all stare at me for a few seconds before leaving me to have my own space. Thanking them, I lean back onto my seat hoping I can relax even for a bit. Closing my eyes, I feel hands appear on my shoulder before they begin massaging me. Smiling, I can guess it was Jason as the hands appear behind me. Reaching for one of his hands, I grasp it before having my cheek rub against his warmth.

Suddenly, the chair moves back getting me to follow along as my eyes snap open to see the most mature one of the triplets in my view. He stares down at me as I can see at the corner of my eyes he is the culprit who surprised me with his hand clicking the button that allows the chair to move back.

He smooths my head which I allow as it's relaxing getting me to close my eyes again. Playing with my hands, he gives a silent kiss on them before massaging them.

"You okay?" he asks intertwining his fingers with mine.

"Just peachy. Thinking about something of the past, that's all, but I should get over it sometime or later." I simply explain.

"You sure?"

"Yea, I'm sure."

Imagining him nodding just once, his massage continues as it's really relaxing cause before I knew, I am already asleep.

"Do you think something happened when she went out with that guy yesterday?" Shiro asks with his voice full of worry.

"That can't be, he didn't look like thay kind of guy. They were hugging and smiling." Violet replies huffing.

"Maybe he was Octave's first kiss dude? Despite her saying she doesn't love him anymore maybe she still does?" Mr Edison joins in.

"Mr Edison, please be quiet." Rika sighs slightly in annoyance.

"Leave the teenage talk to the teenagers, please." Uni pleads.

"I'm only 24 years old!" Mr Edison whines, but still gets put aside.

"So?" Lero finally talks.

"Maybe we should just ask her straight up?" Ian suggests.

"Right, like we're going to come up to her and ask 'Hey Octave, yesterday night, that guy you were in the lobby with, was he your ex-boyfriend who stole your first kiss but it was all just an act?" Arions laughs sarcastically.

Silence is his response before Owen comments, "Dude, too harsh."

"But he is right, if we simplify it, it still means that." Hubert pipes in.

"So what are we going to do?" Naya asks in full concern in her soft voice.

"How about not talk about the person's relationships right in front of her?" I begin talking after hearing their conversation.

"Octave!" They shout in surprise.

Opening my eyes before giving a light stretch and a quick yawn, I look over to my friends not impressed, "You guys can never be spies or anything. Don't know why you dressed up a yous James Bond characters."

They all open their mouths to answer, but they close it finding that they don't have a good comeback.

Sighing, while giving off a small smile, I lean back on the chair, "You guys could have told or even asked me about last night if you saw. I won't mind."

"But - we - " They all try to talk but it ends in stumbles.

"Last night, that man in the lobby was not my ex-boyfriend. He is a former bandmate, that's all." I answer honestly before feeling my phone buzz under my leg.

Ignoring their stares, I pick up my phone and find many messages coming up getting me to wonder if my friends have a life.

Clicking onto the group chat which has the most messages, I scroll up to the first message I missed before discovering them all about the same topic. About what's happening today getting me to guess that Lio and Dyane told everyone.

Sighing, I text my message to them.

: You all don't have lives if you can message for a whole hour straight.

"Maki, where are we right now? Or going to?" I turn towards my seatmate as everyone is doing their own activities.

"We're at Hong Kong." He answers getting me to nearly drop my phone.

"What?! How?" I ask not remembering crossing the ocean.

"You were sleeping during that whole time so Lero carried you for majority of the trip." He answers honestly getting me to wonder how deep do in sleep.

"Oh, okay, thanks." I reply before heading my attention back to my phone.

Tilting my head at the three messages from the seasons, I just push my confusion aside finding that we have arrive.

Finding everyone beginning to leave the bus, I don't need to pack my belongings as I never touch it for the whole ride. Swinging my bag on, I follow my friends outside thanking the bus driver for the ride. When I land onto the ground and walk off, I find the place amazingly beautiful and huge getting me wonder how big it is. The urge to explore sticks to me as I begin following the group out of the parking lot and into the building, but suddenly everyone stops getting me to bump into Sung Gun's back.

"Sorry." I apologize which he responds with a simple nod before looking back to the front.

Hearing girls squeal my eyebrows furrow before I go on my toes to look at who's blocking the way. Finding a huge group of girls surrounding a core, boys around are in annoyance as they watch the crowd block the entrance.

Stepping between the gaps to head towards the huge crowd, my curiosity continues to take me as I appear in front of my group who are also frowning from the crowd in front of us. Going on my toes again, my eyes widen as I gasp loudly getting attention towards me.

"Octave!"

"Why the hell are you here?!"
