The Pack OT6- South Korea

Rob's P.O.V.

All of the boys noticed Lachlan and Preston's obsession with going to South Korea pretty quickly, especially when they deep dived down the black hole that was K-Pop. They were looking at places to go in South Korea, the sites and tourist destinations and they left the pages open on their computers, so we got the hint pretty quickly.

One morning while the boys were asleep, Lachlan having just gotten back from Australia the night before and Preston just wanting to sleep in, the rest of the Pack gathered in the living room of the house. We were wanting to discuss how to make their dream come true.

"So what do we do? They clearly really want to go but I don't think we can make it a surprise, we've gotten prepare videos obviously." The others nodded at Vikk's statement, after all he was the one who travelled the most but also put out the most videos.

"Buy the tickets now? They want to go to some K-Pop thing but I don't really know much about it.... so...." Jerome said, scratching the back of his head. Actually none of us knew much about K-Pop except what the boys told us, and we had gathered that they loved pretty much every K-Pop star in existence.

"I dunno? Buy tickets to a concert, book everything, hotels, plane tickets, all that stuff for like 2ish months away? We want some time to prepare." There was nods from all of the others and so it was agreed. We would split the cost of Lachlan and Preston between the 4 of us and we were all going, obviously, so we would pay for ourselves.

"Alright, that's sounds good."

-----------------------------------------------------------

It took quite a few weeks before everything was ready to tell them. We found plane tickets to South Korea, business class both ways which was a huge treat for everyone, tickets to a K-Pop convert on the third day we were there, and we would fly back home two days later.

We would be there for a total of 5 days, flying in at an ungodly hour on the first day, have another day to be tourist, the concert on the third day, another touristy day and then we would fly back home the following day. All of us were excited, both for the trip and for telling Lachlan and Preston what was going on.

Both of the boys were oblivious to what was going on, they had no idea what we were planning and that made it all the more exciting, because I wanted to see their reactions.

Exactly a month before we were scheduled to go, we finally decided to tell the boys to give them time to prepare, and their reactions were amazing. Lachlan squealed and hugged all of us, thanking us happily and bouncing up and down like a toddler and Preston, whose mouth had dropped open when we told him, launched himself into my arms and hugged me so tightly that it almost stopped me from breathing.

"Oh my God, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" He squealed, jumping up and down. Both boys were so excited that all of us grinned at each other, so happy that they were so excited to go on the trip.

I hugged Preston tightly, looking up over the top of his head.

"You're welcome Preston."

----------------------------------------------------------

The day of the flight, the flight which would take almost 16 hours from Florida, which was where the group of us were living, Lachlan and Preston were bouncing around like balls, hyperactive and excited. I ended up with Preston and Lachlan either side of me, a horrible decision really, because neither of them wanted to sit still.

Lachlan was so full of energy that after half on hour on the plane he just dropped, passing out with his head on my shoulder and a pair of earbuds in. Preston played on the television on the back of the plane seat and chatted to me for quite a while before passing out about 10pm Florida time, fast asleep.

Jerome, Mitch and Vikk were in the seats behind us and I saw their smiles as the two boys slept again me and they helped me out occasionally and swapped seats, holding their heads up, when I went to the bathroom. The flight passed quickly and Lachlan slept through all of it, Preston sleeping through most.

We got to the hotel with no trouble at like 5am South Korean time and everyone just passed out on the two double beds in the room we were all sharing, curling up together. I ended up with Lachlan on my chest and Mitch tucked into my side, both snoring softly, and on the other bed Jerome, Preston and Vikk were muddled up together, curled up in such a tight pile that I didn't know who was who.

I smiled to myself and the preceded to pass out.

---------------------------------------------------------

We wasted most of the first day because we were so tired and we woke up at about 4pm, meaning we only had a few hours left of the day. For the rest of that day we wandered around town and caught some of the sights, going to a market and a historical town, before going out for dinner.

We spent most of the next day at Lotte World, an indoor and outdoor theme and amusement park and although it was more aimed at kids than young adult, it didn't stop us from having the time of our lives. The two youngest, Vikk and Lachlan, loved it the most and I loved seeing the way their eyes lit up every time they saw something cool.

The next day was the day of the concert and although it wasn't until 7 that night (until well past 11) both Lachlan and Preston were super hyper the whole day. We went to a lot of parks that third day in hopes to allow them to keep their energy but no, the two spent the entire time running back and forth, gushing about how excited they were.

Mitch, Vikk, Jerome and I just watched them, we didn't know enough to contribute to their conversations about K-Pop but we simply liked watching them talk about something so passionately. It was cute.

That night was one of the best, not for my enjoyment, but for theirs. I didn't understand the music, I wouldn't say I hated it but it wasn't something I thought I would personally enjoy, but my enjoyment for that night, and the enjoyment of the other 3 too, came from watching Preston and Lachlan enjoying themselves.

They lit up like lightbulbs, they sung along to every song, they screamed and shouted and were just so involved that it was amazing to watch. Afterwards they were flushed red and just talked and talked and talked about the concert, even well after we got back to the hotel.

They sat on the bed and whispered to each other even as Vikk, trying to sleep against me with Mitch on my other side and Jerome, who was sleeping on the same bed them, threw pillows at them and hissed at them to shush. I giggled, they were happy and bright and I didn't want to crush that.

Both of them passed out eventually, far past 2am, and much to the agreement and happiness of the others. I took one last glance at Lachlan and Preston, curled up together, fast asleep, and then hugged Vikk and Mitch closer.

Yeah. This holiday was a good idea.
