"Do you think he'll ever get make up his mind?" Hyunjin groaned as Seungmin wandered from shelf to shelf, looking in awe at all the albums.

"Never." Minho said flatly, "Let's just get out of here."

Chan shoved him lightly even though he felt the same way. "Let the kid have his fun."

Woojin seemed pretty content to potter after Seungmin like a grandad, but Felix and Jeongin were squatting in a far corner of the shop, talking loudly and playing hand games. Jisung and Changbin were muttering together and Jisung was furiously writing something down on the notepad that he always carried with him while Changbin was frowning and talking in his ear as he wrote.

Chan suspected that they were writing the lyrics for a new song. He was going to go over to them when Seungmin came rushing up, holding in his hands two Day6 albums.

"Which version should I get?" he asked excitedly.

"It doesn't really matter." Hyunjin yawned, "Just buy one."

"Which one should I get, hyung?" Seungmin asked Chan.

"That one." Chan pointed at a random one.

"Ooh, okay, but wait… this version has Wonpil-hyung's-"

"Then get that one, then."

"Okay! But-"

Minho interrupted him. "If you don't pick one right now, then we'll just leave without picking either."

"Fine." Seungmin ran over to the counter to pay.

"Finally!" Felix grumbled, coming over with Jeongin. "We played the frying pan game so many times even I got tired of it."

"Tired of losing," Jeongin muttered as Seungmin finished his payment and came back with the album tucked under his arm.

"I can't swim that well." Jeongin said worriedly as they changed.

"You'll be fine," Chan reassured him.

There was a sudden gasp from Woojin that made everyone in the changing room turn around. Woojin was gaping at Felix, who had been in the middle of changing.

When Chan looked around as well, he saw that Felix's torso was tattooed with bruises.

"I just fell down." Felix said casually, pulling his rash guard over his head. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chan could tell he was lying, but Felix's body language was clearly saying that he didn't want to talk about it. When Hyunjin opened his mouth to quiz Felix about it, Chan shot him a look.

He caught Woojin's eye and when everyone was busy putting their clothes into their lockers, he sidled up to Felix and murmured, "Was that from a long time ago, or recently?"

"Don't know what you're talking about, hyung." Felix said airily, stowing his bag into his locker. "Now come on, we're supposed to be having fun, right?"

Reluctantly, Chan let it go but resolved to look out for Felix even more after that.

"Hurry up in there!" Hyunjin yelled in the direction of the changing rooms.

"Jeez, calm down," Jisung came out wearing his blue rash guard.

"Seungmin, put your album away and come on," From the bench where he had been sitting leafing through his Day6 album, Seungmin stood up and carefully wrapped his newly bought album in plastic and hid it in his bag before joining the others by the pool.

"Race you, lix," Hyunjin dived in neatly.

"It's on." Felix jumped in and they both set off at top speed, splashing to the other side of the pool and back. The rest of the members entered a little more slowly, Chan having to coax Jeongin in.

Woojin treaded water happily at the side with Seungmin and Changbin and Jisung swam in a messy crawl. Minho joined Chan at the shallow end, where he was reassuring Jeongin that he wouldn't drown.

"Tell you what, innie, when Felix and Hyunjin have finished racing, we'll just stay here and play, okay?" Chan suggested.

Jeongin nodded vigorously, not daring to venture into the deep end.

They ended up having an enjoyable afternoon playing volleyball and having water fights, greatly pleasing Hyunjin, who's idea it had been to come to the swimming pool.

As Chan was finishing his shower, he heard a shriek, causing him to burst out of the toilet stall, his pants half-buttoned and his shirt the wrong way round to see what the commotion was about.

Seungmin was clasping his new album to his chest and glaring angrily at Changbin.

"What happened?" Woojin cried out, poking his head out of his toilet stall.

"He dripped water on my album!" Seungmin pointed at Changbin accusingly.

"I didn't do it!" Changbin protested. "We're at the swimming pool, for heaven's sake!"

"It was wrapped up in plastic!" Seungmin's voice was reaching a frequency so shrill soon only bats would be able to hear it.

"Yeah, well, it must have been unwrapped or something!"

"You-"

"Seungmin, chill out." Woojin ordered, coming out of the toilet. "It was an accident."

Seungmin grudgingly accepted this and set about trying to dry his album.

"Don't worry, minnie, it'll dry out." Chan consoled him as he towel-dryed his hair.

"I can't find the plastic!" Seungmin harrumphed.

"What are you talking about?"

"I wrapped it in plastic when we went to swim and now I can't find the plastic!" Seungmin started rooting in his bag.

"Honestly, Seungmin, does it matter?" Minho asked, exasperated.

"Yes! I need it to keep my album safe."

"And what's a thin layer of plastic gonna do? If you really want, you can wrap it up in my shirt. Should have more protection than the plastic."

"Oh, would you?" Seungmin beamed. "Thanks, hyung!"

Jeongin sidled up to Chan while Seungmin was busy wrapping the album in Minho's shirt, looking guilty. "Umm…"

"Let me guess, you unwrapped Seungmin's album and dripped water on it." Chan folded his clothes and placed them neatly in his bag.

Jeongin giggled sheepishly. "You won't tell him, will you?"

"You're such an evil kid; you let poor Changbin get the brunt of Seungmin's wrath and you don't want me to tell him?" Chan shook his head. "You're lucky you're so cute."

"Thanks, hyung!" Jeongin said happily.

"This is incredible." Changbin breathed, gazing at all the fancy equipment. "How did we ever survive without this?"

There was a sudden gasp, then a loud wail, attracting the attention of everyone else in the shop. Seungmin was rummaging in his bag, an anguished expression on his face.

Chan hurried over to him. "What is it, Seungmin?"

"I-I can't find my album!" Seungmin panicked, throwing his stuff out of his bag in an attempt to find it.

"Did you leave it in the cab? You took it out, didn't you?"

"Oh-oh yes I did!"

"Take deep breaths, minnie," Woojin advised, looking over his shoulder. "People are staring."

But instead of calming down, Seungmin looked like he was about to panic even more.

"Take a breath, Seungmin." Woojin put a hand on his shoulder. "Tell you what. I'll take you to go look for it, okay? Just don't scream anymore."

"Thanks so much, hyung!" Seungmin said breathlessly.

"Hold up, what about Changbin?" Minho gestured to said person. "He's really been looking forward to this."

"It's fine." Changbin said quickly, "I don't mind-"

"I have an idea." Woojin interrupted, "I'll take Seungmin, Felix, Minho and Hyunjin to go look for the album, okay? You, Changbin, Jisung and Jeongin can take your time looking around here, then meet up with us later. The other three know where to go."

Chan didn't like the idea of splitting up but it was the most logical choice. Reluctantly, he agreed and they left.

"This mic equipment is the best!" Changbin gasped in awe. "It's so clear!"

"I love this piece of recording equipment!" Jisung ran around, seeming almost as excited as Changbin.

Meanwhile, Chan might have entered heaven along with the both of them, but he was too worried about the rest of the team. Every five minutes, he called Woojin to make sure that everyone was all right.

After Chan had called them for the seventh time, Woojin absolutely refused to pick up the phone, stressing Chan out even more.

"Hyung, stop worrying." Jeongin said patiently, "Woojin-hyung will take care of them."

Finally, after what seemed to Chan like an eternity, Changbin and Jisung ran out of things to look at and they paid for their items.

"Come on, let's go and meet up with them." Chan steered Jeongin front of him. "Where are we supposed to meet anyway?"

"I don't remember the name." Jeongin said cheerfully, "I think I can remember the address, though."

"Don't worry, if we forget we can always call Minho-hyung or Woojin-hyung." Jisung slung the bag of equipment over his shoulder.

They spent half an hour walking around, trying to find the place where they were supposed to gather. "I can't believe you three don't remember the address." Chan shook his head and dialled Woojin's number.

To his dismay however, Woojin didn't answer. He tried Minho, but Minho didn't respond either. Hyunjin and Seungmin didn't reply and by the time Chan called Felix, he was starting to stress out.

"Hyung?" Felix's deep voice answered and Chan sighed in relief. "Where are you?"

"Changbin, Jisung and Jeongin can't remember the address." He shot a dirty look at the three of them, "Where do you want us to meet you?"

"Oh uh…" Chan could hear muted voices in the background. "How about you meet us at the dorm?"

"Yeah, sure. By the way, why didn't the rest answer their phones?"

There was a slight pause, then Felix replied, "You must be mistaken, hyung, they didn't get any calls. See you there!"

Chan frowned as he hung up. There was something amiss but he couldn't tell what…
