Annie sat there drinking her drink and smiled as she remembered the last few minutes with Mark at the airport. As she was half way through her drink, Mark walked over to sit next to Annie and she looked over to him smiling. Natalie saw Mark sitting down and came over to assist him.

Natalie (*asks Mark) : can i get you something to drink ?
Mark : a Mojito please.
Natalie : coming right up.

Natalie turned around to make Mark's drink. Mark and Annie sat there next to each other and it felt so awkward between the two of them. There was a huge silence between them. Natalie was done making the drink and slide over the Mojito towards Mark. He took a sip of his drink. Annie broke the silence by asking...

Annie (*asks) : do you still remember the memories we had when we were kids ?
Mark (*smiles & says) : of course i remember. i havent forgotten about it one bit.
Annie (*smiles & says) : you didnt know what you wanted to be except be famous.
Mark (*chuckles & says) : i was little but i had high hopes in becoming famous one day.
Annie : and you did.
Mark : i did.
Annie (*asks) : do you remember what i said to you before you left to Korea ?
Mark : 'if you can dream big, you can go big'.
Annie : right.
Mark : i carry that saying everywhere i go whether its to practice or recording.
Mark : i remember that saying everytime i want to give up on becoming a star.
Annie : im glad that it helped you Mark.
Mark : it really did. it helped get back up when times were tough.
Mark : i couldnt quit knowing that people are watching me and couting on me.
Mark : i bet you were too.
Annie : i was. i watched all of your comeback stages and was so proud of you guys.
Annie : the hard work you put in these past couple of years was amazing.
Annie : and here you are, successful.
Mark : we are pretty successful.
Annie (*asks) : so hows it like to be an idol in Korea ?
Mark : its hard but when you have people by your side, your never scared.
Mark : with the members by my side, i can never lose my smile.
Annie : i'm glad that its them that your achieving your dream with.
Mark : me too.

Mark and Annie took a sip of their drinks. Then Annie realized that it was a good time for her to tell him how she feels so she says....

Annie : there's something i want to tell you Mark.
Mark (*looks at Annie & asks) : what is it ?
Annie : I..............

At that moment, Annie was interrupted by Jennie who was calling out for Mark. Jennie walked closer to Annie and Mark to talk to them.

Mark (*asks Jennie) : whats going on ?
Jennie : Jackson was looking for you.
Mark (*asks Jennie) : what for ?
Jennie : he said something about pants.
Mark : Oh, right.
Mark (*tells Annie) : i better go help Jackson out. we'll talk later.
Annie : alright.

Mark walked away. Jennie made sure Mark had already went into the elevator before going over to talk to Annie about something. Then Annie left money on the counter and stood up to leave. Annie was walking towards Jennie when Jennie stopped Annie right in front of her to talk.

Jennie stands in front of Annie being in her way of walking forward.

Annie (*asks as looking at Jennie) : what ?
Jennie : i see that you guys were catching up with each other.
Annie : we were.
Jennie (*asks) : does he know ?
Annie (*asks) : know about what ?
Jennie (*says in her attitude) : dont act stupid Annie. it doesnt work on me.
Jennie (*asks) : does he know that you like him ?
Annie : its much more than that and you better not tell him anything Jen.
Jennie (*asks) : who says i was going to tell him ?
Annie (*asks) : arent you always the person to get to the details first ?
Jennie : that is my job but im worried about you.
Annie (*asks) : since when ?
Jennie : since the day i told you about me liking Mark freshmen year.
Jennie (*asks) : dont you remember ?
Annie : yes, i remember.
Jennie : if you dont tell him, i will.
Jennie (*asks) : so whats it going to be ?
Annie : i'll tell him, eventually. do me a favor.
Jennie (*asks) : what ?
Annie : stay out of my business, please.

Annie went out of Jennie's way and walked to the room. Jennie's attitude was all riled up and couldn't believe what Annie had said to her just now. She continued on walking towards the elevators to go up to the room where everyone was.

As Annie was walking towards the room, she called Mrs. Tuan to let her know about their arrival. So Annie called using her cellphone from her pocket.

Mrs. Tuan (*picks up the phone) : hello ?
Annie : Mrs. Tuan. i just wanted to let you know that we have already arrived in Vegas.
Mrs. Tuan : im so happy you guys did.
Mrs. Tuan : thank you for letting us know.
Annie : everyone is in their rooms settling down and resting before we head out for dinner.
Mrs. Tuan : thats good to hear.
Mrs. Tuan (*asks) : where are you guys planning to eat dinner at ?
Annie : i actually dont know yet. i'll probably let the others decide on where to go.
Mrs. Tuan : alright. i dont want to keep you from doing what you were doing.
Mrs. Tuan : have fun and take care of everyone for me.
Annie : okay. bye Mrs. Tuan.
Mrs. Tuan : bye Annie.

Annie hung up the phone and went into the room. When she got to the room, she was hesitant of going inside so she just stood there looking at the door thinking about what Jennie said about her earlier. Annie turned her back against the wall and leaned against it. JB just came back from getting some ice from down the hall and saw Annie leaning against the wall spacing out. He came towards her holding the bucket of ice and asked.....

[In Korean]
JB (*asks) : are you okay ?
Annie (*looks up at JB, smiles & says) : Oh, im fine.
JB : you look tired.
Annie : just a little.
JB : it must've been from the drive here.
Annie : it could be.
Annie (*looks at the ice bucket from his hand & asks) : you just got ice ?
JB : yes. the members wanted something to drink.
Annie : Oh.
Annie : please tell them to get ready so that we could all got out to eat dinner together.
JB : okay.
Annie : tell them to dress warm too.
JB : i got it.

JB walked inside of the room while Annie went into hers. Laura and Irene were getting ready for dinner. Laura wore a black polka dot long sleeve collar shirt tucked into a black high waisted skirt with black leggings underneath. She paired it with black booties and a red beanie. Irene wore a navy polka dot haltered peter pan dress to her thighs with a white long sleeve knitted sweater over it on top of black tights. She paired it with tall black booties with her hair up. After showering, Annie wore a white Chanel loose t-shirt, pink knitted long cardigan, navy skinny jeans, a beige infinity scarf, and tan tall booties. Jennie came back just in time to shower after Annie got out. Jennie wore a black long sleeve peter pan casual dress to her knees, black leggings with zippers on her knees, black leather booties, a black and white beanie. The guys all got dressed into something warm and headed over to the girls room waiting outside. Then they walked towards the elevators downstairs walking in the lobby of the hotel. Andrew and Kevin found a restaurant in the hotel that they could eat for dinner. They lead everyone inside and they all had a wonderful delicious dinner together.

Everyone headed back to their rooms after dinner to rest since they had a long day of traveling.
