Hoshi, Woozi and Vernon stood in adoration while watching Seungkwan, who kept on crying to Seokmin's chest.

“I'm gonna miss you hyung!” Seungkwan cried out. Seokmin laughed and hugged him tightly. “Relax bub, I'll be back in two weeks. I promise.” Seokmin softly said, drawing circles on Seungkwan's back to calm him down.

“Can you also bring me back a Man?” Seungkwan suddenly asked which made Vernon widen his eyes. “Boo, you know I can hear you, right?” His boyfriend asked while Hoshi chuckled silently.

“Calling the passengers of flight 205 to the Philippines, you may now board the plane.”

“That's my flight. I have to go now, Kwannie.” Seokmin said. Seungkwan nodded and let go of his hyung while Vernon locked his boyfriend in his arms, comforting him.

“Hey, be careful. And please send me a video of your performance. I would love to see how you sang well in that wedding.” Woozi said.

“I will. Thanks for your help producing the song, hyung.” Seokmin replied as his hyung just smiled. “I have to go now guys. I'll see you in two weeks.” Seokmin hugged all of them before he walked to the boarding gate.

“I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PHILIPPINES!!” Hoshi screamed, earning glares from the other people. Woozi glared back at those people before looking at Hoshi with fondness.

“We hope you enjoy your stay here, sir!” The receptionist cheerfully greeted as she gave Seokmin the keys. Seokmin smiled back and headed to his room immediately. He was already tired, He had two flights that time. One took him to Manila and another flight to take him to a province. The wedding is held in the province of Samar. Apparently the couple loved the surroundings and decided it would be nice to keep their wedding in that place.

Seokmin rested for a good 4 hours before he was awakened by a knock on his door. He opened the door and was greeted by Haesoon. “Have you rested well? I'm sorry if I woke you up, the couple can't wait to meet you!” She excitedly said. “Uh yeah I had a great sleep. I'll just take a bath and then meet them.” Seokmin answered, still yawning.

“Okay then, meet you at the front desk in 20 minutes?” She asked. Seokmin nodded in response before she left. Seokmin sighed and just closed the door.

Twenty minutes later and he's finally done. Seokmin hurriedly locked the door and headed straight to the front desk where Haesoon was waiting.

“Hey Seokmin! You're just in time, the couple just arrived. They're waiting for you in the cottage so let's go!” As soon as Haesoon said that, she immediately walked away. Seokmin was confused for a second before running to catch up with her.

No one said a word. Haesoon walked swiftly as if she's in a hurry with Seokmin walking behind her. To avoid the tension, Seokmin looked around the place and he admired how beautiful it is.

The beach is wonderful, the white sand complimented the clear water. Coconut trees can be found everywhere so they also serve fresh juice. Seokmin snapped out of his admiration once he saw someone approaching them

“Haesoon-ssi! There's been a slight problem with the food. The Chef is looking for you.” The man said as he panted slightly.

“Okay. Can you please take Seokmin here while I go to the chef? The bride and groom are waiting for him.” Haesoon asked the man.

Seokmin looked at the man in wonder. He looks familiar. Haesoon and the man talked for a few moments before she ran to the kitchen.

“So uh... I'm Joshua. I'm the groom's best man.” Joshua introduced himself and offered his hand. Seokmin gladly took it and shook it slowly. “I’m Seokmin. I'll be the singer at the wedding.” Seokmin introduced.

Joshua looked at him for a second and smiled. “Follow me. They're at the cottage.” Joshua said and guided Seokmin the path.

The two walked in silence once again before Joshua decided to speak up. “Hey... I can't help but wonder. Have we met before?”

“I want to know that as well. You look so familiar but I don't know where I've seen you.” Seokmin replied.

“Hmm. Maybe we can talk about it later? I wanna know more about you.” Joshua smoothly asked the latter out, hoping he'll say yes.

Seokmin chuckled, “Alright. But how about tomorrow? I'm still jetlagged and will probably head to sleep after talking with the couple.”

Joshua grinned and nodded. “Yes! I can't wait!” Joshua's sudden excitement made Seokmin laugh.

The two finally arrived at the cottage. Joshua knocked on the door followed by a soft "come in" as an answer. The two came in and was welcomed by the bride. “Hello there! You must be Seokmin, right? I'm Jaeha. I hope we can be friends.” The bride greeted.

“Hun, please don't overwhelm the singer. We don't want him to--”

“SEUNGHOON?!”

“SEOKMIN?!”
