sun island resort and spa

@Yoon Jeonghan he'd almost forgotten the fact that he was married to a magazine editor, but that little remark reminded him of it. he chuckled, blue orbs almost disappearing completely behind the crescents his eyes formed. "mm, but we'll talk about work later." maxence closed his eyes at the contact, lifting a hand to hold jeonghan's cheek between his fingers. he rubbed small sensual circles into the soft skin of his cheeks and pulled away with a smack of their lips as he maneuvered them closer to the bed.

@Sen Mitsuji "You bet I am," is all she can say before the boat starts to take off and they're slowly lifted up into the air. Unlike most would generally expect, it's actually rather calming than not and she can feel excitement bubbling within her. When the staff was explaining the logistics of the ride, they had reassured her that the harness would keep them on the canopy wing even if they weren't holding on for dear life. They had also asked whether Sen and Jessica would like a more relaxing experience compared to one that included more thrills, so of course she had to ask for the latter. 'Nothing like that adrenaline rush, right?' was the exact phrase she had said, and she didn't regret it a single bit as the boat driver started to do little tricks. There's a wide grin on her face, almost like a kid in a candy store, that doesn't leave her face as the excursion continues. She's in awe at how amazing the view is from every angle and how she can see entirety of their resort below. It feels like the entire world is under her feet and it's absolutely breathtaking.

@[H] Maxence Danet-Fauvel "well, if a gig's all you want... perhaps we can work on that," jeonghan says. well, he /does/ work for the fashion industry, after all. his arms wrap themselves around max's shoulders, one hand on the other's hair as he pulls the taller close. jeonghan's quick to press his lips against max, almost too eager — to distract himself, perhaps. to enjoy himself as he's sworn before he entered the show. "max..." he mumbles against the french boy's lips, eyes closed.

@Jessica Oh Sen was worried but as soon as the staff confirmed their reservations, he sighed in relief, turning to Jessica with a smile. "That surprisingly went well." He says, oblivious to the dealing that went behind his back. He's excited smile showed once more, his attention focused on the instructor, like a school kid listening to his teacher's lab instructions. He was handed his vest and wore it as he was told, making sure to tighten the straps enough for it to fit his body. He turns to Jessica as they approached the device. "This is gonna be fun." He was pretty ecstatic about it and it really shows. They were first asked to get onto the speed boat before the body harness was attached to each of them. The speed boat started its engine and they slowly went on the water, heading to the open sea before the passenger bar was attached to their body harness that would serve as the connection to the canopy. The staff asked them once more if they are sure to proceed and so Sen turned to his wife and held her hand. "You ready?" He asked her. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze for he himself felt a little bit nervous now that they were moments from being lifted up in the air.

@Lee Hoseok Nodding her head lightly, Jia continued to glance out the window until they got to the resort. "Let's do that." She smiled lightly, getting out of the car once they reached their destination. "Oh, that sounds like a good idea." She chuckled lightly taking her bag from the other and waited for him until they were both ready to start walking towards their room. "They really did." She said with a bit of excitement in her voice. "Let's go put our things away and get ready to go, shall we?" She smiled brightly at the other.

@Yoon Jeonghan "let them trend. maybe i'll get a few more gigs from that," maxence shrugged nonchalantly and returned the enticing smile he was given with one of his own. he nodded at the suggestion, and followed jeonghan back to their room. the second the door closed and the lock clicked, maxence pulled the curtains a little, leaving a small gap to allow some extent of light to enter, but not enough for them to be seen by outsiders walking by. he then turned back to jeonghan once he was done and as if on auto pilot, his arms found his way around the smaller man's waist, pulling him closer.

@Bang Yongguk A sort of pride washed over Isabella at the praise for her idea because, while she definitely thought it was genius, any type of validation was good validation. A bright smile grew on her face and she sat up a little straighter while uttering a jokingly-haughty "Why thank you~ I thought it was pretty great!" She relaxed again, though hyperaware of the way his hold changed. It was a minute shift, but a shift nonetheless and she had to bite back a knowing grin. In its stead, a hum escaped her as she nodded in agreement. "I don't plan on letting it get away. I keep an iron grip when I want something," she said, her eyes doing a lap over his features before settling back into eye contact. She listened to his story with the same degree of attention as before, mayhaps more as she went through the range of emotions akin to someone getting heavily immersed in a film. She laughed when he cited his mother and sister while silently thanking them for the opportunity to meet the man lying so comfortably underneath her. Though, as things took the more painful turn, she felt her heart sink a little and her visage softened into a sympathetic expression. She waited until he was done, a beat of silence lingering until she was sure her was completely done and offered a little smile and another squeeze of his hand in solidarity. "You're doing great if that's any consolation and it won't be a lot to ask for the right person," she said genuinely before backtracking to his question. She hummed, pretending to think about it as a teasing smile curled onto her lips. "What did I think...? Let me see..." Still dragging it out for dramatics, she moved to lay by his side again, tracing the patterns in the ceiling with her eyes before looking over at him again. "Well, my very first thought upon seeing your picture was 'he's handsome, I'm in trouble'" she admitted, with a soft chuckle. "Then, you sent me flowers, and an amazing dress, and a picture of the cutest kid I've ever seen. And I was like 'ah no, I'm really in danger' because that's when I really started to like you. So...as far as first impressions go, you did really well. You can punish me or something but I'm gonna keep cheating and give you the same question again. What'd you think of me?"

@Isabella Peschardt ‘You definitely should sing to me, later’ he agreed, wide grin pulling on his lips at the mere thought of how much more Isabella could bear perfection. Indeed, it seemed like the show had managed to form the perfect pair by putting them together; both artistic souls with a love for kids and just overall an undeniable natural attraction. Her dainty hand then reached for his own, the difference in side rather striking though he found it rather endearing, almost a metaphor or how he would try his best to shield the younger woman from the world. ‘That was smart. A lot of people seems to be following the show religiously so you definitely are putting yourself out there, my love. That’s good’ Yongguk smiled, the girl on top of him maybe even too clever for her own good. ‘Love knows no age and no boundaries, right? If you ever find that special person for you, don’t let it pass. You’re very mature for your age, anyways’ his grip on her suddenly got a tad bit more possessive, as if wishing that he could one day become that dear person to her. ‘Me? My mom and my sister signed me up —‘ his low laughter like a rumble inside his chest. ‘Mingyu’s mother was my first love and when meeting up again with her a couple years back, we fooled around and well..she got pregnant. She actually never told me about it until Min was born and then she left him with me and literally disappeared of the face of the earth.’ His words were laced with pain, eyes shifting away from Isabella’s for a brief moment before being able to carry on again. After all, the whole story was rather the open wound still by how recent the events were. ‘Long story short, I have the most amazing son and he, in a sense, gave purpose to my life. But my mother and sister would love for me to have a loving wife by my side for the long run and for Mingyu to have this maternal figure around him...I know it’s a lot to ask from people but I also wish there could be hope for it to happen..’ he nodded at his own words as if convincing himself first and foremost, his fingers playing with her short digits as a distraction. ‘Anyways..hm..what did you think when you first met me?’

@[H] Maxence Danet-Fauvel jeonghan doesn't hide the chuckles that leave his mouth with each kiss down his jaw, before he turns his face to look at the taller lad. "if the cameras catch that, you will find our names trending over the internet," he says, however the foxy smile on his lips gives away his amusement. he plants a quick kiss on the corner of the other's lips — a small, lighthearted tease, and he gestures to their cabin with a movement of his head. "let's go back then," he says, and he leads the other back to their place.

@Yoon Jeonghan maxence pulled away just slightly after leaving a few chaste touches of his lips to his husband's jawline, lifting his face away from jeonghan's neck as it was proving hard to walk with his face buried there... what with him smelling this good. he rubbed his palm up jeonghan's lithe waist and grinned at his husband once again. "you're right, mon cheri. not gonna lie, i'm kinda already anyway! let's not let this go to waste."

@Sen Mitsuji "I don't think you have anything to worry about, but don't quote me on that." In the few days since she had gotten to know Sen, he had been quite the gentleman. Kept to himself, but was thoughtful enough to make up for it. There was nothing at all that made her remember anything specific to use against him later. But who knows? For all Jessica knew, he could end up surprising her. As soon as his face fell, she almost gave in and told him it was all a prank. However, the situation escalated a little bit too fast and he was gone to talk to the staff before she knew it. She had no idea what he would tell them, but she couldn't let him embarrass himself like that when the pass was safe in her hands. While he had his back turned to her, she gestures over one of the members setting up and explains the predicament they were in. She makes it known that it was a mere prank and hands over the activity pass to them. She puts a finger to as if to signify them to keep it a secret from her husband and apologizes once more. In a matter of minutes, the staff informs them that they were indeed the ones who had placed the reservation and hands them a lifejacket to put on. Jessica mouths a quick 'thank you' and winks at the staff, glad that the secret went by without a hitch, before she puts the vest on. The instructor explains the safety measures they need to take and then they're ushered onto the parasailing device.

@[H] Maxence Danet-Fauvel the way max nuzzles against jeonghan's ear sends a shiver down his spine, and he lets out a soft exhale through his lips. at first, he didn't expect this sort of confidence from the french boy — max seems to be the type who'd get easily flustered when teased and when teasing as well, but jeonghan doesn't feel that this is unwelcome. "well," he starts and he leans back against the lad, feeling ticklish as max's breath dances upon jeonghan's skin, "it'd be a waste if we simply went to walk, no?"

@Kim Byeongkwan Soft laughter left his lips and he nodded his head, forcing himself to get up off the bed, stretching his long limbs up over his head with a smile. "Yeah it's fine. I should definitely eat as well," He agreed, reaching over to pat Byeongkwans back gently, in a reassuring way, "Alright. Let's go check out what they've got downstairs," He reached out to take a hold of Byeongkwans hand, leading him out of the room and downstairs to the dining area, happy to see that there was still plenty of food around for them to choose from, set up in a buffet style so you could choose your own. He grabbed himself a plate as well as one for Byeongkwan, handing it over to the younger male so he could grab whatever he wanted.

@Yoon Jeonghan maxence's eyes twitched into a partial squint, a cheeky grin spreads from his lips along the muscles of his face. "why? i can't even seduce my own husband?" he raised his left brow once as he chuckled, nuzzling against the back of jeonghan's ear as a wave of embarrassment washed over him again. "well, i don't mind taking a little walk with you. like you said, we got time. but..." he let his sentence linger in the air without adding anything else, hoping jeonghan would somehow get the message, but then again hoped he wouldn't. he shifted his head down a little to press the tip of his nose to jeonghan's neck, and released a soft breath through his nose.

@Jessica Oh He quirks his brow slightly at her question, shaking his head slightly with a hum as he answers. "I'm rather amused than scared. Although it is still pretty scary if you think about it." He says, chuckling lightly, smiling soon after as he watch the lively expression on the female's face. He realizes then how much preparation she put into wanting to make their honeymoon fun and worthwhile. "I worried too much, didn't I?" he comments, smiling softly as he felt guilty over worrying about the outcome of their honeymoon, thinking only of how he might not be able to do his best, forgetting that their marriage is a partnership and would take two of them to make it work. He patted her head gently and just listened to her story, happy to hear bits of memories from her past. He's glad that even with what she went through, she had good and fun memories of before. When she told him that she forgot the pass, Sen's smile got replaced with a downcast expression for a brief moment, giving the situation a serious thought before nodding as if figuring something out. "It's alright." He smiles assuringly to her and patted her head once more. He's not going to let a mere activity pass ruin their fun and not when Jessica was looking forward to it, and so he excused himself from her to talk to the water sports staff, telling them to call the front desk instead and confirm their reservation. "That would be enough proof, right?" He asked the staff, who was quite skeptical but ended up giving the front desk a call after seeing the earnest expression on the male's face.

@[H] Maxence Danet-Fauvel jeonghan laughs at his husband's words, and it leaves a coy smile on the smaller's lips. "is that your way of getting me to bed, babe?" it's spoken like a joke and it could be taken as one, but honestly, he doesn't mind — which he supposes isn't something that he should be thinking considering the state of his own emotions. "because if that's what you want, just say the word. we've got all of the rest of the honeymoon to ourselves, don't we?"

@Yoon Jeonghan for maxence, maldives meant crazy fancy beach shirts. the pants didn't matter—as seen from his ugly basketball shorts, but his shirt had to be fancy; so he wore a pink shirt with pineapple prints on it. he had his arms around jeonghan, who felt petite in his hold, and his chest was rumbling with a low laughter at the way his messy hair was batting in his face due to the wind. he faced the smaller male with a smile, but it faltered a little at the slight pause. "me too, honestly. but i was thinking if we made love loud enough, they'll think the resort is haunted and leave quickly," maxence mused, brows raised twice at the suggestion of mischieve, but he was quick to wipe it away with an embarrassed yet partially hopeful laugh.

@Sen Mitsuji "Do you think I'm scary, Sen? Is this your way of subtly telling me that?" She continues to provoke him in her own childish manner, sticking her tongue out at him briefly. She nods rather excitedly at his homework comment and answers, "you bet I have." She had a whole two days after the wedding where she was in quarantine, so she had decided to use that time wisely. Jessica had a whole note in the app on her phone with a list of things they could do if they had nothing but time to waste. "An open-air? Yeah, back in high school. My friends and I would sneak onto the rooftop of a random campus building at night. We made our own little makeshift theater with a projector and all." She loved watching movies, but enjoyed it more so with friends around. "Oh no," she says, feigning a look of worry as she continues, "I left it on the counter in our cabana." It was actually safely tucked in her purse, but she decided to have a little fun with Sen before she told him the truth.

@Jessica Oh "Is that so?" He raises his brow slightly at her, remembering that he did tell her she's cute. "Women are pretty scary huh?" He comments, slightly and somewhat playfully making a face at her. He wonders if it a certain trait of women to not forget little things or details in life. A mindless comment may be remembered forever and it's pretty scary if one should think about it. "Looks like you've done your homework" He smiles softly and nods. "That sounds lovely. I would want to try that with you. Have you been to one before?" He nods more, actually liking the idea of an open theatre. He'd been to a few but having it in that setting would be a new experience for him not t mention doing it with someone. Soon they reached the water sport area of the resort and Sen informed that they were the ones who did reservations earlier that day. He turns to Jessica then and holds his other hand out to her. "The activity pass." He says with a soft yet excited smile.

@Sen Mitsuji She scrunches her nose when he pokes her cheek but has no time to reply before they're walking once more. "I don't know if you ever have," she teases, although they both know he has. She retracts her comment with a small laugh and shakes her head before she admits it. "Kidding. You have, when you avoided my question at the airport. Don't think I forgot about it. Women don't forget about these things easily." The statement is not meant to be intimidating, and she shows it through the playfulness in her voice. "Parasailing will take around two hours with preparation and training and all. We should be done around six o'clock," she informs. "I was looking for things to do in the Maldives, and there's a jungle cinema at night. It's an open-air experience, but there are both chairs and recliners to sit down in. It's really pretty, lanterns and all. What do you think?"

@Jessica Oh He blinks at her action, nodding as he takes her hand and stands with her help. He smiled softly at her, her efforts of comforting him does not go unnoticed. He should return her gestures and he does try his best but sometimes, he couldn't help have his self doubt get the better of him and he actually hates it. It frustrates him how he only have such thoughts recently when he never have to deal with it before. Perhaps it's because he wants to give her his best and give her the best that he pressures himself to do better and falling short from his own expectations is simply not acceptable. Before they head out, Sen already left the payment for their food on the table, thaking the restaurant staff with a sligth bow of his head as they head out. As they take their walk, he watches her silently, just admiring the fact that she sees the beauty in the simplest things and even in him. "Jessica." He calls her attention and as soon as she turned her head to look at him, Sen brought up a finger to poke her cheek with a hint of a playful smile. "Have I told you how cute you are?" He says with a nod, humming once as he retract his finger, slipping his hand back into his pocket as they conitnued to walk.

@Sana Minatozaki She rolls over on the bed in their room staring at Sana before cracking a small smile. She reaches over go cup her cheeks gently before cracking a small smile whispering softly. "Good morning." She pulled away to let her sleep some more before stretching a bit.

@Sen Mitsuji "Great," is all she says before she gets up from her seat, straightening out her outfit and pulling her shorts down slightly. Jessica initiates the handholding this time, leaning down to reach out for his hand and helps him stand up even though he didn't really need it. She doesn't want him to feel apologetic for what happened earlier, and she tries her best to provide some sort of physical comfort for him as she squeezes his hand once more. As they head out of the restaurant, she thanks the staff there and wishes them a nice day. She swings their hands as they walk and hums softly, appreciating the scenic landscapes the island is offering them.

@Jessica Oh "You didn't do anything wrong and I know. Im thankful for that." He smiles lightly at her, just grateful for the thought of hers. Sen focused back on his food as she did, nodding his head sometimes in agreement as she commented about the food. "It's good." He says, reaching for a table napkin to gently dab his lips to remove any sauce and crumbs. Despite being non meat, the burger did taste like it was made of beef. He drank his fill of water and nods his head slightly to her suggestion. "That might be good then we can head to where we'll meet the resort staff for the parasailing." he then checks the time on his watch and sees there's still enough time for them to go around before their water sport appointment.

@Sen Mitsuji “Please don’t apologize, Sen. If anyone is in the wrong here, it’s me. I meant what I said, okay? If you want me to go with you, I will.” His apologies only add onto her guilt and she pouts slightly, but she’s being sincere. Jessica would support him and accompany him in his travels if he asked her to, whether it be as a wife or a friend. She sighs once more before she finally resumes eating and moves on from the topic completely. The rest of the meal goes by without a hitch, with her commenting about the taste of different foods every now and then. “How’d you like it?” Jessica asks as she tries to make some small talk. “I’m so full — the portions weren’t even that big. Maybe it was the smoothie...” She furrows her eyebrows, voice trailing off as she thinks. “We should probably take another small stroll. Get that digestive system going, y’know.”

@Bang Yongguk For the briefest of moments, Isabella thought that she might have done something wrong as his fingers enclosed her wrist but she was quick to relax again, a small smile passing over her lips. "I sing too, someone's got to record the demos," she said, only partially joking. She tucked some of her own hair behind her ear, gravity playing its part in obscuring her view. "I'm working on my own music too. Maybe I'll sing some for you later~" she said, her grin turned teasing before she softened up once again to listen to him. She stayed attentive as he regaled the surface-level details of his hardships and a small sympathetic frown, coupled with a concerned furrow in her brow, formed. "You don't apologize," she said, quickly offering him a smile instead. She detached a hand from her waist so she could hold it instead, giving it a firm squeeze and pressing a sweet kiss to it. "I'm glad you're in a better place, doing what you love," she said genuinely before humming thoughtfully. She'd honestly put her application into the pull so long ago but among the probably hundreds, it'd take a while to get to hers so she hardly even remembered. "I kind of saw it as a way to get my name and face out there, but as I went through the application process and then saw other seasons, I thought to myself 'This might actually be amazing, I could find that special someone.'" She chuckled sheepishly, "I know I'm young and there's no rush but...I can't help but think it wouldn't be bad to already have that happiness. What about you, babe?" she tilted her head curiously, idly playing with the hand that was still in hers. "Why did you join the show?"

@Jessica Oh Sen was cutting up his food into smaller pieces, subtly glancing at the female, noticing her downcast mood. He was about to speak up when she reached for his hand instead and he smiles gently as he placed another hand on top of hers. "It's alright. Im sorry for even bringing that up." He says, gently patting the back of her hand to reassure her. "I only thought of myself and not took your feelings in consideration. Im sorry." He apologizes once more, thinking that he keeps messing things up. He didn't consider what Jessica might feel with his sudden request and he knows he did wrong for just asking her about it without prior discussion. "Let's enjoy this week and the following weeks we'll spend together. If time permits, then maybe we can discuss going there." And if she choose to stay with him then it would be more meaningful for them to do the visit. He didn't want to pressure her into it just incase she decides not to continue by the end of their season. He doesn't want to put her in any more difficult situation.

@Sen Mitsuji His change of plans and abrupt explanation of why it wouldn't work out has her heart dropping into her stomach and Jessica is already remorseful for voicing out her hesitation. She knew how big this was for Sen, for the man had left his home to pursue his dreams and hadn't even considered going back until now. The fact that he's even thinking about it, and including her into his plan to do so, makes her extremely happy. She just doesn't want to embarrass him in front of his family... if she even got to meet them, that is. Surely they wouldn't think too favorably of a marriage that emerged from a reality show. And what if after the trial period... he didn't want to continue? How would he even explain that to them? But she can tell he wants to move on from the topic, so she plays along despite the throbbing regret that had now stemmed in her conscience. "Thank you," she mutters softly, managing to send him a small smile as she digs into the food although she's not that hungry anymore. She reaches out to grab his hand across the table, caressing it with her thumb before she looks into his eyes. "We'll talk more about it later, okay?"

@Jessica Oh He nods at her question. He hasn't been back there for a very long time and frankly, he still can't point to a reason for why he wants to go there so suddenly and even invited Jessica to come with him. Hearing the uncertainty in her voice made him think twice though. She didn't need to elaborate for him not to get what she was skeptical about. "You're right." He chuckled softly as he shake his head to himself. "It's too sudden, isn't it? Besides, we're busy for the following days." He explains but it did sound like he was trying to explain it more to himself than to her. "and maybe it's still too soon." He adds with a soft smile. The waiter comes and brings over their food, Sen's gaze moving away form her and on to the food instead, quick to move on from their topic. He hums softly at the sight of the food, clealry impressed with it's presentation and generous serving. Their orders were more than enough for the both of them. "It's looks good." He says, turning to the waiter and nods in thanks. "Shall we eat?" He gestured for the female to dig in as he picked up his cutlery to cut the burger in half, placing his portion on his plate then moves the other half of the burger closer to Jessica for shorter reach.

@Sen Mitsuji As the waiter had left, Jessica had turned her head to look at the beach they had been playing around in just an hour earlier. Watching the tide had always brought a sense of calmness to her and she was captivated by how transparent the waters were. Her trance was quickly broken by the suddenness of Sen's question and her chin swiveled forward once again so she was looking at him. "I thought... you haven't been back in a decade?" The statement comes out more as a question and she tilts her head in confusion. "But that's not a no," she promptly adds, "I was just taken aback slightly. If you wanted me to go with you, Sen, I would." The invitation befuddles her slightly, a bit of worry bubbling within her as she thinks about how they really only have two weeks and she's not sure how they're even going to fit that trip into the time frame.
