It was around 10 pm when the tour bus came to an abrupt stop, stopping at an Asian restaurant.  Azira slowly opened her eyes yawning as she looked around. Everyone was already getting off the bus and her almost the only person.

Turning on her phone, she squinted her eyes from the bright lighting before adjusting her sight. It was around ten in the night. She slept way longer than she initially planned. But at least she got to get a little bit of energy.

Grabbing her wallet Azira stood up stretching around only to feel someone tap her shoulder. A small shriek escaped her lips as she quickly turned around, "God don't do that."

Yuta smiled, "Sorry for scaring you. Who knew you're quite the screamer, I wonder what else could make you scream." He teased watching as Azira hurriedly made her way out of the bus.

He laughs to himself following her behind.

The smell of different spices which she knew some of being curry, and cayenne pepper with the lingering feel of seafood danced around Azira. The quiet but loud sound of her stomach grumbling indicated she was way more hungry than she thought when she entered the restaurant.

Jaehyun looked up smiling as he waved for her to come over and sit. Azira sat on one of the chairs around the table with Yuta sitting beside her.

Soon after the table was filled with all sorts of dishes, appetizers, and sauces. Azira was eating a spicy Thai dish. Looking around pretty much everyone was socializing amongst themselves well except for Royce who was busy on his phone. That was until Somi took his phone saying something about you need to socialize more.

"So Azira." Somi began while looking at her, "Never got to ask this but where are you from?" Azira looked at her before answering, "Miami."

Somi looked nodded smiling, "Interesting since we were just there. How was it like growing up?"

"Hot." Was all she said before they began laughing quietly. On the other hand, she wasn't laughing with them paying attention to the plate of food that was in front of her.

Food first talking later.

She didn't know what came over her but she suddenly had a spoon in from one of the many spoons they gave them scooped up a decent amount of her dinner and brought to Yuta's lips "Try it." She held a hand under the spoon so nothing would drip.

Yuta gave her a questioning look slowly opening his mouth allowing the spicy dish to invade his tastebuds. His eyes slightly watered from the spicy taste wondering how Azira liked it but the spicy taste subsided revealing a tangy-sweet taste, "Wow, it's good I'll get it next time."

That made Azira smile which is rare she hardly smiled as she began to eat the remainder of her food, "So that means you'll come with me here so we can eat it together." She mutters in a quiet tone.

"I'd like that."

🚬

The dinner went with ease everyone ate till to their heart's content, Royce paying with the company card. Everyone stands up, and bellies food which will keep them content for a few hours on the drive. Azira was beyond stuffed wanting nothing more than sleep when her phone dinged.

Don't make any plans tomorrow it read and that simple text made her feel like a million butterflies swarmed all at once. She quickly replied it was not like she had much to do tomorrow besides reading over the schedule. but she re-read it a few times to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Azira walked outside standing on the dirt road looking at the sky. It looked pretty tonight millions of tiny stars shining on the dark navy blue night.

"Hi." Yuta greeted as he made his way over to where she stood. His cheeks were still red from the spicy dish which shined under the bright moonlight. The two stood there as everyone began boarding the buses.

"Hi," Azira replied still looking at the sky. What seemed like antagonizing torturous seconds he finally asked, "Got my text?"

"Yes and just so you can hear it from me I'd love to spend the day with you tomorrow." Azira manages to say mentally sighing in relief.

Yuta let out a sigh of relief, "Wait? Thank you." It grew quiet the two of them just enjoying the few minutes around each other before they'd have to go on the buses.

And maybe because Yuta was just so caught up in the moment he pulled her into wrapping his arms around her waist. It stayed like that for a couple of seconds the two of them embracing each other's warmth that was until Jaehyun decided to pop up out of nowhere, "Well, well, well, what do we have here."

They quickly separated their races filled with embarrassment as Jaehyun walked closer to them lips forming into a sly grin, "Awe, you guys are really cute when getting married invite me to the wedding–." Jaehyun didn't even get to finish as Yuta elbowed him in the ribs but did not physically hurt him. But he remained a brave face as he continued teasing until he went on the bus.

It was just the two of them once again the slight wind brushing against Yuta's bright hair messing it up even further, "See you tomorrow yuta." She smiled walking to the bus before disappearing inside.

Yuta stood there feeling his face burn. He patted them a few times hoping it'll go away but it just felt even deeper. And there it was those weird feelings he's been feeling. The exhilaration of whenever he's near her, him not being able to stop smiling the way hits heart beats ten times faster when she just looks at him.

He was falling in love.
