Chapter 826: A Day In Beijing


    ?


    June woke up with the scent of his members surrounding him.


    How does he know that?


    Let''s just say that it wasn''t consensual. He learned it against his own will.


    Casper, with the scent of grass and a little bit (a lot) of insanity.


    Jaeyong, with the scent ofundry and stress.


    Jisung, with the scent ofvender and snacks.


    Zeth and Ren, with manly body spray and some angst. Don''t ask why they smell the smell the


    same.


    Sehun, on the other hand, smelled like the cab of someone''s grandma. The type of grandma who knitted for a hobby and made hard cookies on a daily basis.


    And Akira? He smelled of nothing...unless his grippers were out.


    And in this case, they were, which was the reason why his slumber was interrupted in the first ce.


    With closed eyes, he groaned.


    "What are you guys doing here?" he asked, already sounding tired despite the long sleep he had.


    "Bro!" Jisung eximed, jumping to his bed and going under the covers. With that, he felt the other members flocking to him, too, making him groan in annoyance.


    He removed his sleeping mask and red at his members, who surrounded him like a bunch of scared hamsters.


    "June smells so good!" Jisung eximed, holding onto his homie''s arm. "He smells like baby cologne and home."


    Sehun frowned. "Home? What does home even smell like?"


    Jisung shrugged. "He just smells like home. I can''t describe it. This must be one of the reasons why so many people like him."


    "Pheromones?" Casper asked, causing June to frown.


    "What the heck is that?"


    Ren shook his head and ced his hand over June''s shoulder. "I think it''s best if you don''t find out."


    June sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "Seriously, what are you guys doing here?"


    "It''s our day off!" Akira eximed. "We''re going to stay here in Beijing for one more day without any schedules, so why don''t we go out?"


    "Yeah!" Sehun chimed. "You know a lot about the country, so we reckoned that you also know some tourist spots."


    June pursed his lips. Of course, he knew the tourist spots around Beijing. He had explored the area plenty of times before in his past life.


    He found it troublesome to tour them around, so he wanted to decline.


    However, the boys looked at him with sparkling eyes, which melted June''s icy heart.


    "Fine," he said. "I''ll get ready in a few minutes."


    "Yay!" the boys eximed, even giving each other high fives.


    June shook his head and went to the bathroom to freshen up and change into his clothes. It didn''t take long since he had already taken a bath the night before.


    With that, he went out of the room, where he found his members lounging in his bed.


    "You''re right," Casper said, sniffing June''s nket. "He does smell like baby cologne and home."


    "Right?" Jisung eximed. "It''s very fitting."


    June clicked his tongue and hurriedly went to the bed to pull his nket away. Then, he folded it while ring at Casper and Jisung.


    "Where do you guys even want to go?" June asked as he continued fixing his bed.


    The boys didn''t respond and continued looking at him.


    June raised one of his eyebrows in inquiry. "What?" he asked.


    Zeth stood and circled around him, observing his outfit.


    "Isn''t this the outfit you wore at the airport?" he asked.


    Ren shook his head. "He had a different shirt. Oh, I think the sweatpants are slightly darker back then, too."


    June clicked his tongue and looked down at his outfit. "What''s it to you? I have more than ten sets of these."


    "Dang," the boys said in unison.


    "What?" June asked. "You don''t buy duplicates of your clothes? They''refortable and cheap, so I buy them when I get the chance."


    Zeth sighed and wrapped one arm around June''s shoulder. "I respect you, brother. Now, I totally get why you were able to sponsor our props for yesterday night''s stage."


    "Your money only goes to stuff like this," he said.


    June sighed and removed Zeth''s arm around his shoulder.


    "Just answer my question," he said. "Where do you guys want to go?"


    "Well, I''m hungry," Zeth said, rubbing his stomach. "Let''s eat some local food."


    "Yeah!" Akira said. "Something filling."


    June ced his hand under his chin, recalling the ces he had eaten when he visited Beijing


    with his gang before.


    Then, his mind automatically went to a ce that he frequented during those times.


    "Can you guys handle spicy food?" June asked.


    "Heck yeah!" Akira eximed.


    Meanwhile, Jisung shook his head. "I can''t, bro."


    "Don''t worry," June said. "I think they have a kiddie menu."


    "Aww, that''s perfect for Jisungie!" Ren said, patting the younger idol''s head.


    Jisung sighed and shook his head. "I''m not a kid, though."


    June ced on his mask and slung his backpack over his shoulders.


    "Come on," he said. "The ce is pretty popr, so we need to leave now before it bes


    filled."


    The boys turned to each other, excitement seen in their eyes.


    "It must be a really popr restaurant," Ren whispered excitedly.


    Sehun nodded. "June has good taste, so I have a lot of expectations."


    With that, the group of boys made their way down the hotel. They were at the very top, so it took a bit to get there."


    Then, as they arrived at the lobby, they found that the entrance was luded. Moreover, the hotel buffet, which was usually empty, was filled to the brim.


    Zeth frowned as he removed his sunsses. "Dang, is the hotel buffet actually good?"


    "Please leave! We cannot ept non-guests in the hotel," one of the staff members said.


    "We''re going to pay!"


    "We''ll book a room!"


    "We''re fully booked!" another staff eximed, trying to keep the situation calm.


    June gestured for the guys to stop, and they quickly followed.


    Ren narrowed his eyes at the hotel''s entrance. It seemed like there were plenty of people


    luding the door.


    "I don''t think only the hotel buffet is popr," he said. "The hotel itself must be popr."


    "Yeah," Jaeyong muttered. "All these people want a room here, huh?"


    June, however, felt like there was something strange.


    Then, when one of them turned to where they were, June finally realized why he felt strange.


    "Fuck," he muttered.


    "EVE! Guys, there''s EVE!"
