It's that time of the year. The time when the earth was nearest to the sun's orbit. The time when the whole world would experience a big increase in temperature. The time when people would need sunscreen or at least a hat. That's right — summer is just right around the corner. And for a certain acting crew, that means that they get to enjoy this season's vacation once again.

The LOH stars were allowed to spend the start of their summer vacation somewhere. Everyone put off their work schedules and packed their bags, ready to spend a week on a nice beach resort. Of course, everything was planned and covered by Clover, as it was part of the paid vacation they had for their precious actors working earnestly to make the game successful. As this was [Y/n]'s first work vacation and one week of summer on a beach far away, she was thrilled.

The crew flew on a private plane in the late afternoon the day before and just arrived in the early morning at the airport. And then, a rented bus came to fetch them and drive them all toward the hotel where they would be staying for an entire week. The resort that they arrived at was called the 'Diamond Resort', located on a small island near a beautiful stretch of water. The place was not just a simple resort — no, it has a couple of buildings on the island for entertainment purposes, recreational facilities, and some shops and cafés along the shoreline. Furthermore, the island had a couple of smaller islands located near it, which can be traversed via a jet ski or a speedboat.

Since it was still early morning when they arrived at the resort, the young [h/c]-haired actress wasn't able to fully admire the view from outside the bus, add also the fact that she was so exhausted from the trip that she kept nodding off despite trying to stay awake. But, fortunately for her, she was able to see what the hotel they were staying at looked like. 'Luxury Highrise Hotel', was the name of the only hotel building on the island. It was considered a five-star hotel, and just from gawking at the looming building in front of her when they arrived, the girl knew that it indeed lived up to its label.

After the crew spoke with the receptionist about the reservations and rooms, everyone headed towards their respective suites and settled their belongings in, finally able to rest up from the long and tiring trip. After all, their summer vacation will officially start once they wake up later that day.

"Hnghh..." a certain teen groaned out, her body twisting and turning as she slowly woke up from her deep slumber. After a few moments of stretching her limbs, she stayed still in her spot, an arm on top of her covered eyes. She then released a long yawn, murmuring. "...What time is it...?"

[Y/n] was fighting against the urge to sleep more in her comfortable bed, her mind still half-asleep. The exhausting trip that lasted more than 10 hours and the jetlag that followed upon arriving here was still taking a toll on her body. But the girl knew that she had to wake up now or else she'd ruin her sleep cycle, thus missing out on multiple opportunities to enjoy the summer vacation.

So, despite wanting to melt against the mattress, the girl willed herself to fully wake up.

"It's so peacefully quiet here... I wonder if they just left me alone in the suite... Rude."

Wearily removing her arm from her face, [Y/n] then removed the eyemask that covered her eyes. However, even though she was expecting it, the young actress still flinched at the sudden invasion of light into her lids.

"Hopefully, it's still early morning and not afternoon," she sighed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and tentatively opening them. Once adjusted to the surrounding lighting, she tilted her head to the left a bit, seeing wonderful scenery outside the large windows. "Beautiful..."

The girl then sat up, further admiring the island resort below from the hotel floor she was on. The sun was perched atop the clear, blue skies. A couple of large, white clouds float past, sending some shade to the people below. [E/c] hues widened in awe at the sparkling ocean not afar, its gentle waves crashing against the sandy coast. Near the beach were buildings lined up, some seemed to be clothing stores while others were food parlors. Then, as she gazed straight down, she saw the asphalt street, a very little traffic in the area.

"Man, I hope I didn't sleep for too long," taking the phone by her side, the young [h/c]ette then opened her device to check the time. 10:03 AM. She sighed in relief.

Finally getting off her bed, the girl pulled away the curtains that separated her area from the main room. [Y/n] wasn't sleeping in a bed or the bedroom. When they arrived at their suite, the room had ceiling-to-floor windows everywhere — in the living room, in the bedroom, and even in the open kitchen and dining adjacent to the living room. What's more, is that [Y/n] instantly noticed a certain feature in the suite that instantly caught her attention.

Entering the room, the girl's gaze landed on an alcove by the glass windows. It was like a settee where people could sit and look outside the arched windows, and instead of being indented into the wall, it was protruding outward. The space was big enough to be used as a bed, with a soft mattress attached to it, supported by a sturdy wooden frame. Then, there's a space that acts like a bedside table where they can place their devices, teacups, and even scented candles.

Despite having two king-sized beds in the bedroom which the five of them could certainly fit in, [Y/n] was adamant about using the 'alcove bed', as she named it. And that's how she ended up sleeping in the living room. Nonetheless, she enjoyed her sleep.

Stretching her limbs as she hopped off her bed, the young girl scanned the living room and its adjacent open kitchen. Most of the curtains were still drawn closed, making the suite a bit dim. But a few curtains were already open by the kitchen area, letting the bright light seep through the windows.

[Y/n] trudged over to the bedroom room, checking if any of her family members were awake at this hour. She opened the door, careful not to be noisy. Peering her head inside, she saw a large lump underneath the fluffy blanket, a mop of black hair peeking above the bedsheet in one of the beds. Glancing at the other bed, she saw a familiar green tress and another mop of black hair.

She hummed to herself.

"So Rouin oppa is the only one awake now?"

Closing the door behind her, [Y/n] sauntered away and proceeded towards the dining area where she saw the blue-haired man that she was thinking of moments prior. Rouin was seated on the barstool, a simmering cup of coffee on the island counter while he was busy reading a book, the familiar reading glasses propped on his nose. Noticing the approaching girl, the man placed down his book and turned to her.

"Good morning, [Y/n]," Rouin greeted, smiling his signature warm smile.

The girl nodded back, walking over to him. "Morning, oppa."

"How's your sleep?"

"I'm fine. Although I still feel a bit drowsy," the girl hummed, taking the seat next to her childhood friend. Then, she leaned her head against his shoulder, closing her eyes in the process. "The bed was so comfy that I wanted to sleep more. But if I did, I'd be missing a lot later on and may disrupt my sleep schedule."

"I see."

"How about you, oppa? Did you sleep well?"

The man took a sip of his cup, adjusting his body so that he could comfortably take the girl's weight on him. "I did."

"When did you wake up?"

"I woke up at 9. Your brother woke up shortly after, wanting to have a light meal since he was hungry," the older male explained. "Then, I accompanied him down to the hotel restaurant where we ate a light meal. After, we returned, and he went back to sleep. Zelda and Cannae haven't woken up still."

"Mhm," nodding, the girl let out a yawn. "Don't you feel tired yet, oppa?"

"Don't worry about me," he lightly chuckled, bluish-gray eyes softening at her concern. "Since I had coffee, I won't be able to sleep for a while. Maybe later in the afternoon, I'll take a short nap then we could explore the resort in the evening."

"Mhm! I'd love that!" at his words, the girl instantly beamed. Her eyelids shot open, [e/c] hues sparkling at him.

Once more, the male chuckled, gently patting her bedhead. "Alright. Take a quick shower first then let's go down so you can have breakfast."

"Okay~"

"Whoah... The hotel restaurant is big and fancy..."

Round, [e/c] orbs were wide upon seeing the large dining area of the hotel. There were a lot of people inside, the sounds of light chatter and busy employees resonated inside the hall, and the soft jazz music barely be heard in the background.

After the young actress took a short shower and fixed herself, she left the suite she and her family were residing in. Rouin escorted her through the floor and took the elevator to the ground floor, where the amenities were located. The two conversed about their plans for the next couple of days, thinking of ways to enjoy the vacation given to them to its fullest.

The two walked around the area, seeing most of the tables and booths occupied. Fortunately for them, they saw some of their colleagues seated at a table nearby. [Y/n]'s face lit up and she immediately skipped toward the two women who were peacefully eating their brunch.

"Cesaire! Rosanna! Good morning!" the [h/c]ette chirped, finally arriving at their table.

"Good morning, [Y/n]," Cesaire greeted back, forcing a smile despite the headache she was feeling at the moment. Her gaze then landed on the blue-haired male behind the young girl. "You too, Rouin."

Rouin hummed, nodding at them. "Pleasant morning to you too, ladies."

"Hngh... Morning, kiddo," Rosanna managed to say, exhaling a large sigh. She had a hand on her temple, massaging her temple. Her narrowed eyes then traveled from her meal towards the [h/c]-tressed female. "You're quite lively, huh?"

She frowned at the condition the two older women were in. It was clear from their facial expression and body movements that they were not in the best of conditions. [Y/n] was lucky enough that she was regularly eating vitamins and food supplements, and while they were traveling, she already consumed medicine for headaches.

"Do you want me to buy some headache medicines?" Rouin suggested, concern washing over his face.

"If it's not so much of a trouble," the brunette female murmured, her face scrunching from the pain in her head.

The blonde's face had a scowl, though it wasn't directed at any of them. "Thanks for the offer, Rouin."

"It's fine. Then, I'll be going. [Y/n], eat a proper meal, alright?"

The mentioned girl nodded. "Mhm. Don't worry, oppa. I'll also be here to accompany them."

"Alright," smiling, the man then waved as he slowly walked away from the three. "I'll be back as soon as possible."

Once Rouin left the restaurant, [Y/n] then took a seat at the large table. There were about eight chairs arranged around the table. Rosanna and Cesaire were seated near each other, while the young actress decided to sit opposite them. The women focused on finishing their light meal, which consisted of soup, an omelet, and some salad.

"I wonder who else is suffering from jetlag and headaches... Luckily I didn't or else I'll be grouchy for the whole day. And I don't want to be grouchy especially when it's the start of summer vacation."

Taking the menu from the middle of the table, the young girl scanned through the selection of food offered by the hotel. Her stomach grumbled just from seeing the pictures on the menu and reading the delectable-sounding meals. As much as a foodie this girl was, she knew that she should hold back with her desire to try out every food here and possibly suffer from overeating.

So, the girl finalized the meal she would be eating for the day, fortunately, almost all of her favorite food was available there.

"Excuse me," she raised her hand, calling for a nearby waiter who luckily noticed her.

The man sauntered over to their table, a pen and notepad ready in hand. "Yes, miss? What would you like to order?"

"I'll be having [f/f] and [f/d] please."

"One [f/f] and [f/d]. Is that all, miss?"

"Yes. That's all."

"Alright. I'll be back with your meal, miss," With that, the waiter bowed and proceeded to tell her order to the chef.

Returning to reading the menu, the young [h/c]-haired actress proceeded to list down the meals she would order in the future. After all, she has to make the best of this one-week summer vacation in a foreign island resort. It's not like she has every opportunity to return here.

"[Y/n]."

"Hm?" peering above the menu, the young girl blinked at the woman who called her.

"Where're your older siblings and Cannae?" Rosanna inquired, her visage now a bit relaxed.

The girl smiled at that. "They're still asleep. I was told that Oppa woke up an hour early to have a light meal before returning to sleep. The girls haven't woken up yet. Maybe they'll sleep in until the later afternoon."

"I see," the blonde hummed, focusing on her soup. "Bianca was still sleeping. Since she rarely travels on a long flight, the fatigue must've caught up with her."

"Mhm. Will the two of you explore the resort later?" [Y/n] asked, her eyes scanning both women's faces.

Rosanna grunted. "When I get a bit better. This headache will be hindering me from enjoying vacation."

The [h/c]ette then turned to Cesaire, who only offered her a pursed smile. "I'll be resting for a while after eating. Though, I could accompany you and the others when you plan to explore later on."

A small smile emerged on the girl's face at their answers. Despite not being able to explore the whole resort with them at this time, [Y/n] was still glad that they didn't turn her offer down. Since this was the first day of their summer vacation — and they just arrived earlier today — [Y/n] had expected that some, if not most, of her colleagues would be having trouble adjusting to the new time zone, thus, missing a lot of chances to explore the resort.

Nonetheless, she didn't hold it against them nor was she upset because of it. Although she won't be able to spend time with a certain few of her friends, she could still plan a fun activity for them to do in the next few days. That's why the young girl was eager to explore the resort — so that she could see what they could do on this resort island and which person to drag to what activity.

"Rouin oppa said that there's a tour around the island every 12 noon and 6 PM. After eating, I will take a tour!"

"Ah! Is that [Y/n]? [Y/n]~!"

The girl whipped her head towards the familiar masculine voice. In the distance, she could see a certain redhead male who was waving at her, a tall, buff, tanned male with raven hair, and a short child next to him. Instantly seeing the trio, a smile graces the [h/c]ette's lips.

"Ricardo! Nine! Axel! Hey~" she waved back at them, ushering them to their table. "Good morning, guys!"

"Morning, [Y/n] noona..." Nine groggily greeted, rubbing his magenta hues with his hand. Then, he let out a yawn after.

[Y/n] giggled at a sleepy Nine who just called her older sister.

"Cute~"

"Good morning, everyone," Axel greeted, bowing a bit toward the older females.

"Morning, madam Rosanna," Ricardo grinned. "Morning Cesaire."

Cesaire gave a nod of acknowledgment. "Morning to you boys as well."

"Did you guys just wake up?" the young girl asked, ushering them to take a seat on the vacant chairs.

Ricardo sat next to Rosanna, Axel taking the seat next to him and gently setting a still-drowsy Nine to his, which was between [Y/n] and the black-haired Valkarios. Once they were all seated, the boys engaged in a casual conversation with each other. Cesaire and Rosanna would join, though not that much since they're still suffering from headaches. So most of the time, they would just nod or grunt in response to the other's questions.

Their brunch session ended up becoming a peaceful time. The tables were filled to the brim with delectable meals, courtesy of Axel and his massive appetite. Sadly, the two women had to leave after Rouin returned with the headache medicines, with the man accompanying them back to their floor. After all, they needed to rest to get better so that they could tag along with the others later on. That meant that the young adults were left sitting at the massive table, enjoying their brunch time together with laughter and chatter.

After an hour of eating and having fun with the boys, [Y/n] decided to catch the island tour that her childhood friend mentioned earlier. As she bid goodbye to the three males, the young girl went straight to the hotel exit, a hop in her step and a smile on her face. Exiting the building, she was immediately greeted by the warm breeze and the blinding light outside.

"Oof. That's bright. And the air's so humid. Thankfully, I wore light clothes."

Once her eyes finally adjusted to the brightness outside, the young actress scanned the entrance of the hotel. In front was a large fountain spewing water to the basin below, the stone pathways leading out to the curb. There are various bushes, flowers, and trees planted on each side of the building, providing some sort of natural landscape amidst the man-made structures all around.

In the distance, [Y/n] could see the various shops lined up on the other side of the street, and further away, in between the cracks of the buildings, she could see specks of sand and ocean. She could even hear the cries of seagulls nearby, bringing a smile unto her lips at that.

"Dear tourists! The bus for the noon island tour will be leaving in a few minutes! For those who want to come along, you are welcome to do so! There's no fee at all!"

A woman's voice called out nearby, earning the [h/c]ette's attention. It was exactly what she was searching for. Perfect. Smirking to herself, the young actress sauntered over to the tour bus by the curb near the hotel, where the woman earlier was waiting outside.

"Hello," [Y/n] walked up to the tour guide, smiling.

Noticing another potential tourist, the woman beamed. "Oh, hello there, young miss! Are you interested in riding the 'Diamond Resort Tour'? The ride's free and I can assure you that it's entertaining as well!"

"Sure thing!" [Y/n] giggled, feeling giddy for today's tour adventure.

"Great! Just come inside and take a seat anywhere!"

Following her words, the young actress entered the small bus, in her hand was a pamphlet given to her by the tour guide. Despite her thoughts, there are about a dozen of tourists inside the bus. However, the girl shouldn't be that surprised since this island resort is the number one travel destination during the summer season. And she's pretty sure that most people here are first-timers such as herself.

"Ah. Some of my friends are also here."

Walking further into the vehicle, the young girl noticed a certain group of people situated by the back of the bus. Dhurahan and Ondal were seated at the very back, their large frame very noticeable from where [Y/n] was currently. Baretta's ash-blonde hair stuck out like a sour thumb against the bland interior of the bus, adding also the fact that she had her face glued to the window. In a few seats in front, a certain pair of female twins were conversing with each other, their facial expressions gently changing.

"Good morning, everyone~" the girl sang, successfully earning her friends' attention.

"Hello, [Y/n]," Mu greeted, sending her a smile. Lambda seconded, mirroring her twin's smile.

Ondal nodded in her direction, a minuscule smile adorning his lips.

"You're the only one riding?" Dhurahan raised a curious brow. "Where are your family?"

[Y/n] shrugged. "Rouin oppa returned to the suite after buying headache medicines for Cesaire and Rosanna. My family members are still asleep. I think."

"[N/n], sit here beside me!" Baretta motioned for the girl to sit. And when she walked over to her, the older female pat the empty seat, grinning. "It's much more fun when with friends!"

She giggled, sliding into the vacant seat next to the woman. "Alright, alright~"

It didn't take long for the tour to finally commence. Excitement filled the girl's whole body, her heart speeding up and eyes glued towards the scenery outside. Baretta's green and [Y/n]'s [e/c] hues widened, sparkles in each orb as the bus drove past the many shops lined on the other side of the road.

"This street where most of the buildings and amenities were located is called the 'Sunset Street'. This is a one-long street housing the 'Luxury Highrise Hotel', the only hotel on the island, a couple of food parlors, clothing, and make-up stores, and many more. It takes exactly 15 minutes to exit this street and arrive at 'Diamond Beach Boulevard'," the tour guide explained, her tone of voice as cheerful as ever while her hand gestured towards the building they passed outside.

All of the passengers had their attention on the outside, their eyes fixated on the numerous shops lined up on the side of the street and some group of individuals coming in and out of the establishments. A couple of stores instantly piqued [Y/n]'s interest as she took note of some of them for her to check out later.

Then, they went into a tunnel that led to what seemed to be the back of the island. Once more, [Y/n] was left in awe at the new scenery. The place was like a small subdivision, with houses that looked like a two-story beach house. Although the beach houses weren't anything fancy or huge, their overall cozy design and different pastel-colored walls were pleasing to the young girl's eyes.

"And here we have is the 'Diamond Beach Boulevard'. This small, subdivision-like place is the residence of the employees working here at Diamond Resort. There are also private-owned beach houses here that regular tourists use when they take a yearly vacation at the island."

"Whoah... So cool..." [Y/n] awed, her lips soon sporting a slight pout. "Man, I wish we could own a private beach house as well."

"Me too..." Baretta seconded.

Dhurahan's gaze lingered on the array of beach houses, a thoughtful expression on his facade. He then turned towards the tour guide in front and raised his hand, successfully earning her attention.

"Yes, sir? Any questions?"

"How much do you have to pay to own a private beach house here?"

The [h/c]ette peered behind to look at the tall brunette, seeing his serious expression. She then looked forward, back to the woman in front. She was also eager to hear the answer, despite knowing that she nor her family could afford even just a single private beach house here at this resort. Nonetheless, that didn't diminish her curiosity.

"You can only legally avail a purchase of a beach house from Royaline Corporation, the private business owners of this resort. The process is very protracted and I heard that the contractors who handle the papers are very picky about who can and cannot avail for the purchase. Nonetheless, a private beach house can cost from 50,000 dollars to 100,000 dollars, depending on the location, type, and miscellaneous adjustments you want for your private beach house."

"O-oh..."

A couple of people inside the bus sweatdropped, noticeably a certain [h/c]ette. Hearing the amount of money for just a single private beach house in this resort was enough to make her jaw drop, and not in a positive way either. She crunched her eyebrows, lips formed into a pout once more.

As much as she was in awe at the beach house residence, the earlier price tag left a bad taste in her mouth. And now she can't help but think about how she was truly blessed to have this chance given to her.

"You'll form wrinkles if you keep frowning, [N/n]," a finger boop-ed the said girl's cheeks, making her snap out of her deep thoughts. Baretta smirked when her companion finally gave her attention. "Don't worry much about what the lady earlier. Just relish the moment!"

Seeing the woman's jovial visage, [Y/n] can't help but relax, a smile soon replacing her earlier frown. She let out an exhale, snuggling against the older woman while linking their hands together. She giggled. "You're right! Let's enjoy this tour and we could go sightseeing and explore later~"

"Right, right!"

The other four smiled at the two's interaction, especially seeing how cheerful [Y/n] was today. Surely, they had anticipated the girl to come up with a lot of fun activities for them to do in the upcoming days.

"Uwah~ It's so breezy up here~"

A certain teenage actress inhaled the crisp summer breeze, feeling the coolness of the wind brush past her skin as the warm rays shone overhead. Opening her eyes, she gazed at her five companions who went with her. The twins were chatting with each other, comfortably sitting on the grass under the shade of a crape myrtle tree.

Oswald arrived just now — the poor man was visibly sweating and panting, trying to catch his breath while leaning over the handle of his bicycle. Arkanath was a few meters away, just by the edge of the hill and overlooking the scenery ahead. As for Brandon, he was idling by a lone grand piano farther up the hill.

During the 30-minute tour around the whole island resort, [Y/n] had listed down all the possible places and activities that she and her friends could enjoy for the next six days. And once the tour ended, she decided to try and explore some public places on her own. The first on her list was 'Ever Garden', a small park on top of the hill just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Luckily for the girl, Mu, and Lambda decided to join her and she was able to nab three more people who just exited the hotel. [Y/n] insisted that everyone should try biking up the park hill, as there is a bicycle rental just outside the hotel for tourists to use. And much to her delight, everyone agreed to comply. Thus, they started their six-man biking trip up the hill to explore the garden/park nearby.

"I didn't expect that you're that feeble," [Y/n] commented, fixing her gaze on the long-haired blonde. "Don't you regularly get exercise?"

"I...I do...!" Oswald barked, trying his best to regain his breath while glaring at the younger girl. "I was just...not prepared for this..."

She squinted her eyes at him, cynical of his claim. "Honestly, biking is much easier than just walking up the hill. At least, you get to sit and just move your legs in a circular motion."

"Biking isn't easy," the blonde retorted, finally regaining a bit of his regular breathing.

"Eh, it's easy enough for me," she shrugged. "Besides, you're the only one who's panting like crazy. Everyone else was fine after a few minutes."

"We're all built differently."

[Y/n] snorted, her [e/c] eyes sending a judgemental look toward the adult. "And apparently, you've got the lowest stats."

"Hey! That's not nice of you, you brat!"

Ignoring his enraged screams, [Y/n] turned her head away from Oswald and stuck her tongue out at him, despite being hidden from his gaze. Nonetheless, she skipped up the grassy hill, following the stoned pathway until she reached a section where the grand piano was located and a particular raven-haired adult was solemnly lounging.

"Hey, Brandon," she offered a smile, leaning her body against the side of the piano.

The man briefly glanced at her and hummed.

"Is Raligon still asleep?"

"Yes. He told me yesterday not to wait for him to wake up if I wake up earlier than him. So after I ate breakfast, I decided to take a walk around the area," he replied, crimson hues fixated on the grand piano. His fingers glided across the keys, gentle like a feather. "How about your siblings? I haven't seen them since I awoke."

"I don't know," the girl shrugged. "They were asleep after I woke up. I've been up for about two hours now, so they could be awake already."

Brandon hummed. "I see."

A peaceful silence befell between the two. [Y/n] leaned against the side of the piano, her gaze admiring the blue skies. As for Brandon, he took a minute staring at the side profile of the [h/c]ette, before his expression softened. A minuscule smile graced his lips as his fingers slowly made their way toward the keys.

Brandon's fingers danced gracefully across the piano keys, producing a soft and melodic tune that seemed to blend harmoniously with the serene surroundings. [Y/n] closed her eyes, allowing the gentle melody to wash over her, creating a sense of tranquility that contrasted with the earlier confrontation with Oswald.

"This melody sounds familiar..."

As the music flowed, [Y/n]'s mind wandered, and she found herself reflecting on the strange but comforting dynamic she shared with Brandon. Despite his often aloof demeanor, there was an unspoken understanding between them, a connection that transcended words.

Lost in her thoughts, [Y/n] opened her eyes to find Brandon's gaze fixed on her, his fingers still caressing the keys. His smile had deepened, and there was a warmth in his eyes that she hadn't noticed before. She felt a flutter in her chest, a mixture of emotions she couldn't quite decipher.

"I didn't know you played the piano," [Y/n] spoke amidst the melody, her voice barely above a whisper. "Also, was that 'A Quiet Moment'?"

Brandon's smile widened, and he continued playing, the music resonating with the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds. "I do play the piano, I just didn't tell you. It's one of the few things that bring me solace. And yes, it was the soundtrack from your game."

"Hehe, knew it," she smiled, a faint blush dusting her cheeks.

For a while, they remained there, enveloped in the beauty of the moment. The young [h/c]enette would occasionally join in the melody with her humming or the usual 'lalala'. They continued to create music together, the combination of Brandon's skilled piano playing and [Y/n]'s soft humming producing an enchanting symphony that seemed to resonate with the very essence of the picturesque surroundings. It was as if the melody they were weaving was a reflection of the connection between them, a connection that went beyond mere friendship.

As Brandon's melody gradually faded, [Y/n] pushed herself off the piano and took a step closer to him. The ravenette's attention instantly landed on her as the young adult smiled. "Thanks for the wonderful exhibition of your musical skills~"

"Mhm," as usual, the man responded with a simple hum, his fingers resting on the keys.

Softly excusing herself, Brandon watched as the girl skipped away from him. The man stayed by the piano, his fingers once again landing on the keys to produce another melody. As for the [h/c]-haired teen, she decided to explore the area they were at.

"Hm... I wonder if there's also another way up here... The fences are still going on until the back, but I guess that's just to ensure that no one could fall off accidentally."

Moving away from the group, the girl leaned against the railing. She tilted her head, trying to see what lies beyond and behind Ever Garden without straying too far from her friends. She inhaled the crisp, salty air and felt the warmth of the sun on her skin. With these alone, the actress felt drowsiness overcome her.

"You look so relaxed like you're ready to fall asleep."

A sudden familiar voice spoke, making the teen turn her head at the unexpected companion. Seeing a certain white-haired woman standing beside her, a small smile crept on [Y/n]'s lips. Arkanath leaned on the fence as well, her gaze fixated on the sparkling blue sea.

"You could say that, I'm still sleepy from our travel and I've been awake for quite some time now. Maybe I'll take a nap later on," the younger girl let out a yawn, slumping against the fence.

Arkanath chuckled softly, her olive-colored eyes glinting with amusement. "Jetlag can be quite a challenge. A quick nap might do wonders for you."

[Y/n] nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'll probably take a nap after exploring a bit more. But hey, have you had a chance to check out the resort?"

"Not yet," Arkanath admitted, her gaze lingering on the horizon. "I wanted a quiet moment, away from the bustling areas. This place is beautiful."

"It is," the young actress agreed, taking a moment to appreciate the breathtaking view. The sea stretched out endlessly, merging with the sky in hues of blue and gold. The gentle waves whispered a soothing melody, complementing the peaceful atmosphere.

"Some day I would like to go on vacation with my husband here next time," the woman mused, a wistful smile playing on her lips.

[Y/n] couldn't help but smile at Arkanath's sentiment. "That sounds lovely. I hope you both get to experience a relaxing vacation together here."

"Thank you, [Y/n]. I'm sure it would be a memorable experience." Arkanath's gaze shifted to the bustling resort below. "How about you? Any specific plans for the day?"

The [h/c]-haired actress pondered for a moment, before grinning at the woman. "Well, I'm thinking of exploring the resort with the others later on. I wanna go buy something or window shop at the Sunset Street. Then, in the evening, I'll be strolling by the beach with Rouin oppa!"

Arkanath chuckled. "Sounds like a perfect vacation plan. Enjoy every moment, [Y/n]."

"Mhm! Of course, and you'll be a part of it as well~"

After taking a three-hour nap after idling at Ever Garden, [Y/n] returned to the bustling Sunset Street with her friends. They strolled and explored the various shops lined up along the charming street. The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the warm glow of the afternoon sun, created a picturesque scene. Laughter, music, and the aroma of delicious food wafted through the air, enhancing the overall experience.

As promised, Rosanna and Cesaire accompanied the young actress on her stroll. And as a bonus, some of the boys decided to join in as well. The group meandered through the street, browsing through boutiques, souvenir shops, and quaint cafes. The lively energy of the surroundings lifted their spirits, making it an enjoyable exploration.

"What ice cream flavor are you picking, [Y/n]?" Axel asked, playfully resting his large hand on top of the girl's [h/c] locks in front of him.

"There's a lot of unique flavors that I wanna try..." She puckered her bottom lip in thought, her gaze fixated menu right above the counter. "Maybe I'll go for a mix of tropical flavors. Mango, coconut, and pineapple sound refreshing."

"Great choice! I might get the same," Axel grinned.

Cesaire chuckled. "You both have a thing for tropical flavors, huh?"

"Well, we are on a tropical island," the ravenette grinned.

"True, true," Rosanna agreed, shaking her head. "You kids enjoy your ice cream. I'll just sit and rest for a bit."

Laughter and chatter echoed inside the 'Frostbite Frozen Delights', the LOH crew pondering over ice cream flavors to indulge their tastebuds with. Ondal opted for a red curry-pandan ice cream in a cup. Dhurahan chose a vegan almond butter swirl. Ricardo picked three scoops of banana ice cream on a cone. As for Nine, he tried a blueberry graham cracker ice cream on a cone.

Rosanna and Cesaire were seated in a booth next to the window, watching as their companions waited for their ice creams by the side as the line moved. Soon enough, everyone had their ice cream and sat with each other in two booths.

"Here~ I don't know what flavor you liked so I just opted for the classic vanilla," a cup of vanilla ice cream slid on the table in front of Rosanna. The blonde woman glanced at [Y/n], who smiled widely at her.

"There's no need for you to buy me ice cream," the older woman protested, but [Y/n] shook her head.

"Consider it a treat from me for accompanying me on this stroll," the young actress insisted, her eyes gleaming with sincerity.

With a soft smile, Rosanna accepted the cup, giving a nod of gratitude. The group settled into a comfortable conversation, exchanging stories and enjoying their frozen treats. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and camaraderie as they savored the sweet delights of the tropical ice creams.

Every so often, the group would share their chosen ice cream with each other, allowing everyone to experience different flavors. The warm afternoon sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting a golden glow on the faces of the LOH crew, creating a perfect snapshot of a carefree vacation.

"Ah! Don't take a large bite of my ice cream, noona!" Nine's magenta orbs widened when [Y/n] took a bite out of his blueberry graham ice cream when he wasn't looking.

[Y/n] giggled mischievously, savoring the taste of the blueberry graham cracker ice cream. "Mmm, it's really good, Nine! You should try a bite of mine too!"

Nine pouted but couldn't help but chuckle at the playful exchange. "Alright, fine. But just one bite!"

"Alright~" the older female chirped, scooping a plentiful amount of ice cream before pushing the spoon to the boy across the table. "Say, 'aah'~"

His fair cheeks were coated with pink, eyebrows scrunched together and his gaze fixated on the spoon slowly approaching him. Nine reluctantly opened his mouth, and [Y/n] fed him a small bite of her tropical ice cream. The girl grinned, her cheeks also tinted pink while watching the boy savor her ice cream.

"Now it's time to steal some of you guys' ice cream next!" she proclaimed, standing from her seat and walking to the neighboring booth where Ricardo, Ondal, Dhurahan, and Axel sat.

"Uh-oh," Ricardo sweatdropped, noticing the look [Y/n] was giving while her attention was fixated on his dessert. He glanced down at his ice cream before returning his gaze to her, hesitating his course of action.

"Here, you can have the rest of mine," Ondal raised his cup of ice cream to her, giving it to her without hesitations. "I had my fill."

"Thanks, Ondal!" [Y/n] gladly accepted the offer, taking a seat next to him. She dug into the red curry-pandan ice cream, savoring the unique flavor combination.

"Uwah! So delicious!"

Her [e/c] pools widened in awe, literal sparkles dancing in her eyes as she indulged in the delightful taste. The black-haired man let a smile grace his lips at the youngster's enthused expression. Within minutes, she devoured the ice cream, the corner of her lips stained with the vibrant colors of the red curry-pandan flavor.

"Wow, Ondal, this is amazing! I've never tasted anything like it before," [Y/n] exclaimed with genuine excitement, licking the remnants of the ice cream from the spoon.

Ondal chuckled, pleased by her reaction. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my favorite flavors."

Meanwhile, Ricardo discreetly scooped a small portion of his banana ice cream onto the back of his spoon and extended it towards [Y/n]'s mouth. "Hey, [Y/n], try this."

Caught off guard, [Y/n] blinked at the spoon approaching her. "Ah! Ricardo, you're too quick!"

The entire group burst into laughter as [Y/n] playfully scolded Ricardo for his sneak attack. She accepted the bite of banana ice cream, savoring the creamy sweetness. After him, she glanced at Dhurahan, silently pleading with her puppy eyes to have another taste of his dessert. Of course, the tall man couldn't help but give in to her puppy eyes and have her devour the rest of his ice cream as well.

"Uwah! The evening breeze is so relaxing~"

A certain teenage actress let out a contented sigh, her [f/c] sundress and [h/c] tresses swaying along with the wind. The girl let her feet sink into the sand, feeling the grains slipped into the crevices of her toes. Holding onto her sandals with one hand, and the other making sure that her sun hat won't get blown away, [Y/n] leisurely strolled along the coastline.

Her childhood friend followed closely behind, a camera in his hand as he captured the scenic beach along with the beautiful sunset. The Diamond Resort's beach was bathed in hues of orange and pink as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the entire area. The gentle waves lapped at the shore, creating a soothing melody that accompanied the footsteps of the two friends.

As [Y/n] continued her leisurely walk, she couldn't help but marvel at the beauty surrounding her. The resort was strategically located to provide a breathtaking view of the sunset, making it a perfect spot for an evening stroll. The air was filled with the salty fragrance of the sea, and the sound of seagulls added a touch of serenity to the atmosphere.

"Oppa, take a photo of me!" [Y/n] exclaimed, turning around with a playful grin.

Rouin chuckled, raising the camera to capture the joy on her face against the backdrop of the setting sun. The flash of the camera illuminated the vibrant colors of the evening sky.

"You look like you're having the time of your life, [Y/n]," Rouin remarked, lowering the camera.

"I am! This is such a beautiful place," she replied, twirling around in sheer delight. "I can't wait to explore more of the resort in the coming days."

The man smiled, his expression softening at her enthusiasm. He raised the device once more, focusing the lens on the [h/c]-haired teen in front of him. She glanced at the sunset, her face lit with a natural radiance. As the camera clicked, capturing the candid moment, [Y/n] felt a sense of pure happiness wash over her.

"Whoah! Look at the sky, oppa! There's a lot of stars coming out!" she exclaimed, pointing towards the darkening sky.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the night sky revealed itself, adorned with countless twinkling stars. The transition from the warm glow of the sunset to the cool, serene canvas of the night sky was nothing short of magical. Rouin joined her in gazing at the stars, appreciating the beauty of the night.

"It's amazing how different the atmosphere becomes when the sun sets," he commented, a hint of awe in his voice.

"Yeah, it's like a whole new world opens up," [Y/n] added, her eyes sparkling with wonder. "I can't believe we get to experience this together."

They continued their stroll along the beach, the sound of the waves creating a soothing soundtrack to their conversation. The night was peaceful, with only the distant laughter of fellow vacationers and the occasional seabirds breaking the tranquility.
