"Fire in the hole!!" you heard your boyfriend shouted before jumping into the pool, making the water splashed all over the place. You were glad you didn't hold anything in your hand, nor having food in the pool. He seemed to enjoy this holiday more than you did. You sighed as you enjoyed the sunlight kissing your back. It was winter back in Korea, so a holiday under the sun was highly appreciated. You were surprised though when he granted your request. You remembered a week ago when he was still on his tour, he called you.
"Hey, do you think you can get leave for a week?" he asked randomly.
"What for?" you raised your eyebrow. His tour was coming to an end anyway.
"Holiday. I can ask for a week off, so.. Do you think you can go with me?"
"Maybe. I still have some leave. Where do you want to go?"
"Up to you. Do you have somewhere in mind?"
"Can we go to Bali?" you asked after thinking for awhile.
"Bali?" he raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah. I saw it in Abby's IG when I scrolled her feed and it seemed fun. It's winter here so maybe a week under the sun will be nice?" you mentioned Joey's girlfriend IG as reference, knowing well that he would check it rightaway after you mentioned it. The pause on the call seemed to prove it.
"Okay. Though I don't know why do we have to go all the way to Bali if we can go to the beach in Pattaya," he mentioned his home country, knowing well that you would refuse. You told him you were not ready to meet his family yet, even after a year dating him. So, going to Thailand only meant one thing, that you had no choice but to meet his family, so you were against that idea for now. You were glad that he didn't push it any further though. He agreed with your suggestion so he booked the flight as well as the hotel and villa despite your protest to pay yours yourself.
"I ask you to go with me, so it's only fair if I paid it," he insisted.
You were lucky that you had him beside you during the long haul flight. You couldn't imagine having to go through the flight alone. With Bambam, entertainment was guaranteed, though sometimes you wanted to kill him for being too crazy on the plane. Luckily the stewardess thought he was funny rather than being an embarrassment. When you landed, the heat hit you. Bambam was more used to it since Thailand's weather was similar to Bali, if not hotter. You got rid of your jacket immediately and changed your clothes in the toilet for something more comfortable, T shirt and shorts. You ditched your sneakers for a flip flop as well. The first three days Bambam has booked a one bedroom villa in a hotel at a rather secluded area before moving to a more crowded area. The hotel was really secluded, placed on a cliff so you couldn't go to the beach straight. But it has a private pool in the villa, so you didn't mind. It was quiet as it was seccluded so privacy was granted. You were glad at least you'd get some peace at last, since this was Bambam you were talking about. He wouldn't hesitate to grant fans' request if you encountered any of them even on holiday.
"Oh look, they decorate the pool with flower petals," you pointed the pool that was fulled with flower petals. "That's a shame though.. tomorrow they would clean it up." You remembered that was the receptionist told you before handing you the key.
"Do you want breakfast at the pool?" Bambam was holding a flyer of something and asked after reading the content.
"Oh yeah," you remembered Abby got the same thing, "The floating breakfast. I want it," you answered excitedly so Bambam picked up the phone to arrange it for the next morning.
"So, what are we going to do today?"
"Nothing. Let's enjoy this place," he said, quickly went into the room to change his clothes into shorts before jumping into the pool.
"Bammie!" you screamed as the water splashed on you, "This is still freaking hot to swim, don't you worry that you might get sunburnt?"
"There's this thing called sunscreen, babe," he mocked you, splashing you with more water as he swam, making you leave your spot on the sun bed and found a safer place to enjoy the view without getting wet. But it was impossible if you had Bambam as your boyfriend. He got off the pool only to drag you inside the pool. Luckily you already had a swimsuit underneath your loose sundress.
"What's for dinner? Do you have any idea?" he asked after swimming for awhile.
"Can we try suckling pig?" you knew Bam would be okay with everything, but he would be a bit reluctant to try new food.
"Suckling pig?" You explained how the dish would taste like and he agreed. In fact, he enjoyed it since it was spicy and seasoned well. The next morning, you got your floating breakfast. Like a good IG boyfriend that he was, he waited until you finished taking pictures, with and without him, of course, before digging in. The food was delicious that you thought your belly would burst after the hearty breakfast.
"You should tell Jackson to go here next time," you mindlessly said.
"Why?" Bambam asked, still munching on his noodle.
"This card said that everything here is organic," you waved the card and Bambam understood fully.
"So, what are we going to do today?"
"Spa and massage." You shook your head, he really wanted peace for once.
"Are you sure you're Bambam? Are you sure you're not Mark or Jinyoung?" you raised your eyebrow as usually Bambam would decline your request for some relaxing activities, but he was the one arranging it this time and he chuckled at you.
"Well, you've been wanted it for so long, so I guess I should grant it once," he simply said. Oh well, you couldn't argue. You wanted the spa and massage for quite some time so you would enjoy it while he agreed to it. Though the massage technique was different, but you enjoyed it nonetheless.
Your three days at the first hotel ended quickly. You moved to another hotel, but Bambam still booked another one bedroom villa, so you still got a private pool for you two. You enjoyed swimming almost every day. If it wasn't in the morning, then it would be in the afternoon. They decorated the pool again with flower petals as well that made you question the reason.
"Do you think they thought we are newlyweds?" you asked in horror and Bambam just laughed it off.
"So what if they thought that we are?" he asked cheekily and dragged you to the pool, ruining the design that they made with the flower petals.
Since the second hotel was closer to the beach, you asked him to walk to the beach later that afternoon until the sun set. It felt good to walk barefoot and felt the sand under your feet. You were happy that since Bambam decided to just hole up in the villa, you didn't encounter any fans, not even now at the beach.
"What do you think of grilled seafood?" he asked while walking back to the hotel.
"Grilled seafood?"
"Yep. I heard this area is called Jimbaran and they're famous for grilled seafood. If you've heard of Bali bombings, it blew up in Jimbaran. But they still survived until now, so we'd better try it while we're here." You were sure that Bambam could even sell stones if he wanted. You agreed to the grilled seafood and it was really delicious. You were not sure how you two could managed to eat all those seafood. All of them were delicious, especially the clams. You also liked the shrimp and the squid. And the fish. Oh well, you liked them all. But something seemed off. You felt like Bambam was planning something. He let you have whatever you wanted for the whole 5 days, so you were suspicious that he would force you to do something crazy after this. Your hunch was proven right. He dragged you to play some water sport that you disliked the next day.
"Come on! It will be fun!" he reasoned when he dragged you to go paragliding with him. You had no choice but to make sure that all the straps were tied securely.
"I will kill you if I didn't make it back to the land," you threatened him and he cheekily answered, "I know you won't. You love me too much."
Damn that boy. He was one crazy boy, but he was your crazy. And you wouldn't trade him with anyone else. You could accept one or two of his craziness. After all, you got to enjoy this paradise thanks to him.
