Grace Xiu

Finally!

It's time for a little road trip!

By little, I mean 9 hours.

"All packed! All ready! I'm ready! Let's go! I want Starbucks! I want to get out of this house and finally go to another party where other couples are going to be at too!" I chanted out loud as I jogged down the stairs with my last bag.

I had approximately 4 bags, Ashley had 3, and Jasmine had 5.

Seokjin had 6.

I don't even know what he put in there.

"Well, good morning, babe." Seokjin laughs at my silliness.

He wraps an arm around my waist and kisses my forehead.

"I'm just excited. I really hope this party beats all the ones before. Like, the last parties, it always me leaving because I was crying or something." I flopped onto the couch, into Seokjin's arms.

"Awh, I really hope this weekend will meet your expectations." He pecks my head.

I sighed, happily.

"Ouch! Why are you pressing me against the wall?!" Jasmine yells from the hall.

Suddenly, Ashley and Jasmine both come crashing down the stairs, landing on their stomachs, with their bags flying all over the place.

"MY GLASS SLIPPERS ARE IN THERE!" Jasmine screeches.

"THIS IS A SPRING EVENT! NOT A COSTUME PARTY, CINDERELLA WANNABE!"

"TAKE. THAT. BACK."

"You know, there's such thing as taking turns." I comment with a hand covering my laugh.

"We're just as excited as you, Grace." Ashley stands up and cracks her knuckles.

"A glass shoe?" Seokjin raises an eyebrow.

Jasmine sighs while standing up. "I want to attract people. "I definitely know there's gonna be some hotties at that party. And it's overnight too. I'll get to invite guys back to my hotel room and get a little cliché." Jasmine sends a wink our way.

"Ooh, girl. I see you're about to start some scandals." I laugh.

"Jasmine, aren't you with Caleb?" Seokjin asks.

"I am not with him anymore! What we had was barely a thing. I dropped him months ago!" She exclaims with a finger pointed to us. "And if he shows up at the party, don't you dare try to pair us up because it's a fancy party! THEIR CHOPSTICKS WILL DEFINITELY BE MADE OF METAL!"

"Ok! We should get on the road. The opening event is tomorrow in the afternoon. If we want to make it and still have time to rest, we have to go now." Ashley announces and heads for the door.

We gather our million bags and attempt to walk out the front door.

As we all begin to pack our stuff into my 6-wheeler, a huge bus pulls up right in front of my house.

"What the-"

Someone jumps out of the bus and waves to us.

"Hey, peeps!" Namjoon Kim greets us all with the biggest smile on his face.

All of our jaws dropped to the concrete.

"Namjoon, buddy, what's this?" Seokjin spoke up with disbelief.

"What's this?" Namjoon scoffs. "This, my friend, is our ride to the 2018 Spring Fanatic Event."

The bus was entirely painted with a matte black. Literally everything about the bus was matte black, from the roof to the wheels.  It was really long, almost like a tour bus for big superstars. The only other detail on this bus were the words "TIME TO PARTY" printed in huge, golden letters on one side. And the other side had the words "#SQUADGOALS".

"I gotta say....nice ride." I nodded in approval.

"Great! Now, hop on! We need to get some gas."

"Hop on?" Ashley questions.

"I know you guys don't have a higher IQ than me, but you cannot be this stupid." He jokes with a head shake.

"But we already-"

"Time is being wasted! Grace, stop yourself and get your things into the bus! LET'S MOVE!" Ashley pushes pass me with her things.

Seokjin closes the trunk of my car and grabs my hand.

"It won't be bad." He whispered to me.

"Oh, yeah, I know. I'm just shook right now."

"Yo, Namjoon, where's Jennie?" Ashley asks.

"She's in South Korea with her band mates. She couldn't make it." Namjoon pouts at the thought of his wife away from him.

Once our things were in the big compartments on the side of the bus, we finally head inside.

"Oh, damn." Jasmine breaths out when she fully enters the bus.

"OOOHH, GIIRRLL!" Ashley squeals.

Seokjin and I marvel at the brown, comfortable seats and wide walking space.

"Is this like a tour bus?" I asked, turning to Namjoon.

"It could be. I don't know. I just rented it." He shrugs.

"They have body mirrors! Screw limos, this is where the problems go away!" Jasmine screams and throws her coat onto the sofa.

Ashley and I follow behind her and run further inside to explore.

10 minutes passed and we were done gawking at how awesome the bus looked.

Seokjin and Namjoon were in the front, having a deep conversation. They went from talking about clams to rainbows to life and death.

Namjoon really has a high IQ.

Seokjin was cracking small jokes here and there and Namjoon was just laughing politely at him.

Ashley and Jasmine were on the couches, checking their social media and gossiping about people.

Apparently, a girl named Lizabeth is a backstabber and pregnant with an alien.

I left the couches and went to the very back for the toilet.

I opened the bathroom door and went inside.

The first thing I see are the shower curtains closed. The mirrors were kind of steamy like someone just finished a hot shower.

My heart stopped.

Is someone in here?

Of course not. How could we not notice someone in the bus? That would be....stupid.

I didn't know if I should just use the bathroom because I was literally about to explode, or should I run out and warn everyone.

We were in the middle of the freeway, so stopping wasn't the best idea.

Before I could come to a conclusion, the curtains open up and I screamed.

WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?

AND OMG, HIS THING IS OUT!
