she was suddenly rolled to the side , sungchan placing a mat down , filling her back to her original spot , it happened so fast she didn’t even have time to react.
[ frazzled keiko ]
“what just happened?” she said looking around , sungchan looked at her , throwing a pillow at her. “would you stop that.” he laughed at the outburst.
stretching out on the floor finally , wonbin wrapped a blanket around around , wrapping his arms around her , the boys laughing as she struggled.
[ keiko has to get used to boys night ]
“im leaving.” she stood up , only to be pulled back down by anton. “stay.”
she laid back down , listening to them talk , trying to get comfortable. “that is what keiko does in her sleep.” eunseok pointed to the girl who was trying to get comfortable. “she moves around so much.
“she’ll wake up and fix her entire bed in the middle of the night.” she smiled her cheeks red of embarrassment as she laid down.
“i can’t help it , i can’t sleep well if im not comfortable.”
“should i cuddle you to keep you still?” sungchan asked, ready to squeeze her.
“no!”
they played the mafia game , despite all being tired , they still had a blast laughing while trying to play and fighting their sleep.
finally they laid down , for the night ; her head hitting the pillow. “finally i’m so tired.” she pulled the blanket over her head just for it to be pulled off her.
“i almost cursed.”
finally falling asleep.
the next morning she was awoken by shotaro; slowly sitting up , before staring into space looking at the camera with tired eyes , her hair all over the place. “oh.” she laughed quietly.
[ it was a rough night for keiko ]
“come on get up.” shotaro pulled her up before she could lay back down. “come on.” he dragged her out the room to brush her teeth.
after doing that she sat down at the table. “my hair is a mess.” she looked into her camera. “oh my goodness why is it this bad.” she laughed.
“let me go get washed.”
“i’m back.” she said , her hair now back to normal. “i don’t know what happened last night.” she said. “but it’s fixed.”
fixing her a bowl of cereal , sitting at the table eating it right away before it got soggy. “gimme bite.” sohee said , she fed a spoonful before returning back to her food.
she washed the bowl off once she was finished , heading outside to eat the sashimi and strawberries. “i want rice.” she said, taking a bite of the fish.
deciding on not eating the rice , she went inside after eat some strawberries , laying back on the floor. “they’re eating watermelon.” she grunted.
“i can’t eat watermelon , im allergic.”
she accidentally began to fall back to sleep , eunseok coming in to see what she was doing. “yah.”
“are you sleeping?”
she opened her eyes, nodding. “you want to go on a walk?” she shook her head.
“no.”
“you being lazy?” she nodded.
he left her alone , letting her scroll through her phone in the quiet room.
“we got ice cream.”
she popped her head out upon hearing that. “ko ko.” sohee handed her a coffee drink and ice cream.
“thank you.”
she poured the coffee into the ice , mixing the ice cream into it. “a latte.” she smiled , taking a sip.
[ satisfied keiko ]
“it’s good.” she gave a thumbs up. “i saw people doing this on tiktok so i wanted to try..” she took another sip.
after sitting outside for a bit , they all went inside to pack.
“where the hell is my charger.” she whispered, “oop i hope the camera didn’t pick that up , she slug her bag over her shoulder. “let’s go.” she waved to camera.
they made it back to the house with the groceries in their hands ; sitting it down. “my feet are killing me.”
making her way into the living area where she laid across the floor , listening to the boys play around in the kitchen. “it sound like 30 people are in there.” she laughed scrolling through her phone. “ugh , i need a nap i’m so tired.” she stretched tiredly.
she closed her eyes, drifting into a state of calmness as she slept.
“keiko-ah.” her eyes slowly opened. “come come.” anton woke the girl , she tiredly walked outside , sitting down on the chair. “who wants to go fishing?”
“you really want to go to the mudflat?” sungchan asked. “you don’t want to go fishing?”
“both don’t really seem appealing so i’ll choose the one ill laugh the most at.”
[ such a optimistic person ]
after playing the game to earn the items they needed for the mudflats , they were off. “time to go dig in the mud .. you know that doesn’t sound too bad.” she said to herself.
“i actually don’t mind it , as kid my brother and i would run out in the rain and play in the mud.” she said. “your parents allowed you to do that?”
“no but we did it anyway.”
on the way there she put her hair up into a bun. “i must prepare.” she put the hat on turning to wonbin who smiled. “cute.”
“keiko you ever been to one of these?” sohee asked. “well i lived in new york , i doubt there was room for this in the middle of manhattan.” she laughed , the group walked further into the mudflat until they found a perfect spot.
“oh wait.” she bent down shuffling through the mud. “it’s actually not bad.” she said using the small shovel. “i kinda want to take my gloves off.”
“she’s willing to mess up her nails .. i think she really likes it.” sohee walked behind her also searching. “nah they aren’t done really so it’s fine.”
[ new fun activity for the maknae ]
“ah this is so fun.” she smiled to herself. “i feel like a little kid.”
“i’ve found 3 clams.” she showed off her bucket. “i also fell over there.” she pointed. “but it’s okay.” she hummed. “let’s keep going.”
“you know.” she said out of breath as she walked. “i am glad we have delivery apps.” she shook her head. “i couldn’t do this everyday for food.”
“im gonna need a nap.”
“it’s hard.” she said. “but im not giving up.”
[ keiko isn’t looking for clams anymore .. she’s just playing in the dirt ]
“keiko” the camera lady said , she turned to them. “have you found anything.” she laughed , looking a the clams in her bucket.
[ staff have been collecting them for her ]
“i forgot.” she smiled [ she’s so cute we’ll let it pass ] “i’ll keep going.. fighting!” she shouted , giggling. “i can’t believe i forgot.”
she dump her clams on the ground. “i forgot half way but the staff help me.” her cheek covered in mud. “i had fun.”
drawing a heart in the mud. “bye bye clam.” she said picking up the bucket. “i had fun .. i even caught three clams , it was fun.”
“but i am so tired.”
… next episode …
changing into the ahjuma pants they got from the market , she laughed to herself. “these are really something.”
she made her way outside , “wash these.” she was handed vegetables. “okay.”
making her way into the crowded kitchen. “excuse me , excuse me.” she squeezed her way to the sink , washing the veggies. “are you gonna cut them?” shotaro stood behind her.
“am i supposed to?” she asked in japanese. “i think so.” he responded.
turning to the camera. “am i supposed to?”
“i guess i am.”
she cut the veggies , making her way outside , sitting on the bench watching them prepare the seafood stew. “can you devein this?” shotaro handed her a shrimp. “i guess.”
carefully getting rid of the nasty stuff inside the shrimp , putting them back in the bowl. “done.”
[ and she’s off again ]
going back into the house , she sat down on the floor. “what are you doing?” sohee asked catching her , she smiled.
“i’m resting.” he stood in front of her , she looked up at him smiling cheekily. “i don’t want to get up.”
“im gonna sit on you if you don’t.”
[ maknaes playing nicely ]
“yah lee sohee don’t - ah!” it was too late , she screeched. “get off.”
he laughed. “no , i’m resting.” he mocked her , she slapped his leg.
they both finally got up , making their way back outside to finish cooking.
she made her way over to where they were grilling meat. “try it.”
sungchan gave her piece , she gave him a thumbs up. “thank you.” she chewed happily as she waited for everything to get finished.
she fought wonbin off who was trying to give her a piece of conch. “i don’t want it.” she said but he kept on insisting she try it. “fine.”
taking a bite. “good?” he asked waiting for her answers. “it’s not bad.” he clapped in satisfaction , she finished it , giving him another thumbs up.
the food was finally finished, they all sat down to eat. “how was the mudflat.”
“i caught three clams.” she said proudly.
“she also just played in the mud like a kid.” she was ready to defend herself. “you did come back with mud on your face.”
“i had fun.” she said. “i want to go again.. but like catch something.”
after eating and playing games at the table to decide who cleaned up , they sat down to play another game. “you get splashed when you laugh.”
her finding everything funny she lost the game terribly. “i suck at these type of games.” she pouted , moving her wet hair out her face. “ah what a shame , today was a good makeup day.”
she was finally able to shower, drying her hair; putting on her regular pajamas , making her way back to the sleeping room after brushing her teeth , phone in hand.
she sat down , scrolling through social media , waiting for the other members to finish up.
she stumbled out the bed ; tripping over a foot on her way out , wiping the sleep from her eyes. “sorry.” she said tiredly.
[ jules stumbles outta bed ]
after washing up , she made her way to kitchen where jungwon and sunoo waited for her. “did you brush your hair this morning?” jungwon asked.
she glared at him , he nodded. “okay , let’s get started.” moving the conversation to avoid being killed.
[ she isn’t a morning person … clearly ]
while they started the pasta , she sat at the table staring off into space , jake entered the kitchen first laughing at the girl. “yah , are you okay.” he said through fits of laughter.
she nodded , standing up opening the fridge. “i’ll wash the fruit.” she said moving to the sink. “i need a energy drink.” she said to her as she washed the fruit. “do i need to cut these?”
“yes.” she finished rinsing them , grabbing a knife to cute them , sunghoon sat down with his rollmops.
she watched him take a big bite ; his face twisting in disgust. “why would you ever think they’d be good?” she laughed. “try it.” she backed up.
“i’m not hungry.”
she sat the fruit on a plate , listening to them argue. “engene.” she said. “if you ever wonder what its like living with them… here it is.” she said. “for 6 years.” she said.
“six very long years.”
everyone had shuffled out of the room now so the kitchen was lively , she sat down eating the fruit she cut.
“why aren’t you eating the pasta?” sunghoon asked , she stared at him. “i’m allergic to red sauce , yah- you know this.” she said , he smiled. “how could you forget something like this , when have you ever seen me eat pizza?”
[ little duck is unhappy ]
“are we even friends?” she pouted. “she’s sensitive in the morning.” he slid his salmon over to her. “eat.”
she took a bite of the salmon , shaking her head. “i don’t like it.” he glared at her. “yah why are you so picky?”
she finally settled on the pork belly , taking a few bites before ni-ki gave her a sandwich.
[ waking up finally after eating ]
despite winning the water game she decided to help sunoo clean up. “thank you.” she patted his shoulders.
the both of them quickly cleaned the kitchen and the dining area.
afterwards she went back into the room to scroll through her phone. “i should’ve gotten an energy drink at the market.” she yawned. “i’m so sleepy.”
halfway asleep while jake was showing her something ; she soon pulled the covers over her head , drifting off to sleep.
she slept for like 30 minutes before getting up and getting dressed , sitting at the table to do her makeup. “my face is puffy because i went back to sleep.” she sighed. “oh well.”
applying her lipgloss , tossing it in her bag , walking around the house out of boredom. “i didn’t get to swim this time.” she said standing on the balcony. “maybe next vacation.” she looked down at her phone , before making her way back inside to where everyone was playing pool.
she walked past them , trying to fix her hair. “i’m cutting this when we get back home.” she said. “should i?”
[ jules talking to her imaginary friend ]
“i should , it would look good.” she pulled out her phone , opening the camera. “oh my god yes i am.” she said excitedly. “ima gonna call my mom and answer her.”
[ she still asks her mom for permission ]
after the phone call she made her way back to where they were playing pool , sitting down on the couch. “where did you go?” jay asked.
“i was walking around.” she said.
soon it was time to go , she grabbed all her things , putting her beanie on her head. “that’s much better.”
slinging her bag over her shoulders as they left the house to head back to their busy schedules..
after being lazy on the couch and taking a nap ; she finally got up to explore the house once again.
[ looks like she just woke up .. because she did ]
jay and sunoo who were in the kitchen, stared at her , before laughing.
“what?” she smiled sleepily.
“jules- your hair.” sunoo walked over to her , smoothing it out , she laughed, wiping her eyes. “you slept good?” she nodded.
after getting her hair fixed she made her way into the kitchen to grab her gummies before making her way back on her walk around the house.
she walked on to the dark balcony where she could barely see ni-ki and sunghoon fishing , watching them. “did you catch anything?” she yelled , being met with silence. “i guess fishing requires silence”
[ not confirmed ]
she saw ni-ki returning back to the house empty handed. “you didn’t catch anything?” he shook his head , they walked into the house together.
she sat down on the couch watching them cook while eating her gummies. “i should make the cookies now.” she got up , shuffling into the kitchen.
she got the cookie dough out of the fridge sitting it on the counter. “it says it makes about 8 cookies..” thinking about it before turning to jay. “how many cookies should i make?”
“two packs there will be 8 sandwiches we can all have one.” he said , eyes still on the food. “okay.”
she turned back , opening the first pack of cookies , placing them on the cookie sheet — stealing a piece of the cookie dough.
[ don’t do this at home ]
“yah , don’t eat that.” sunoo took the empty packaging and threw it in the trash. she smiled chewing the dough.
she finished placing the cookies on the tray , putting them in the pre-heated oven , closing the door. “now we let those bake.” she said to herself , watching them prepare the grill.
as they began to cook the meat the cookies were finally ready , she took them out to sit. she sat the ice cream out to soften. “i’ll do half and half.”
10 minutes later she had 8 ice cream sandwiches that she was sticking in the freezer. “give me one.” ni-ki stood behind the girl , he’d been waiting. “wait.” she said. “after dinner.”
“here.” jake fed her a piece of meat. “mmm.” she sat down at the table. “it’s good!”
[ five stars for jules ]
“eat this.” sunoo put the corn on her plate ; she had no interest in eating it , pushing it away , only for it to be pushed back towards her.
“i don’t like corn.” she said , taking another bite of meat.
“still eat it.” he nagged , she smiled. “yah , do i question why you don’t like mushroom?”
“at least he eats vegetables.”
“you don’t eat any vegetables.”
she held her hands up. “um what the heck.” they laughed at her.
[ everyone nags jules for being a picky eater ]
“such a picky eater.” jake put another piece of meat on her plate which she gladly took.
she took a sip of the wine , trying to like it ; jungwon clocking it immediately , giggling. “yah , we got cola.” she got up running into the house ; returning with a cup and the soda.
“i tried to like it.” she poured the soda , sitting it down. “i just don’t like the taste.”
taking a sip of the soda. “wah , you really still are a kid.” she rolled her eyes , jake smiled teasing her. “cute” he whispered under his breath.
“lets decide who is on meal duty with a mini game.”
after pleading her case on how she doesn’t understand the games they play and that they use all to advantage — it fell on deaf ears. “yah!” she screamed , they laughed watching her crash out. “time and time again i lose these games.” she sat down moving her hair out her face. “are you about to curse jules.”
[ she wasn’t … but i’m sure she was thinking it ]
she made her way into the kitchen , ni-ki following behind her. “here.” she opened the freezer handing him the ice cream sandwich. “good?”
he nodded. “good.”
she took her ice cream sandwich down to the gym where sunoo was already hitting the machine. “i’m gonna try.” she said finishing the treat. “let me go.”
she pressed the button sending the thing down. “okay let’s go.” she said , swinging her arm back , sunoo cheering for her. she hit the thing with a grunt ; waiting for a number… 540.
“oh look!” they both cheered over their numbers.
once it was finally her time to go for real she got a score of 574. “oh wait it’s higher than last time.” she smiled at the camera.
[ knows she lost … just happy it’s higher .. ]
“so sunoo and jules.” the two held hands , reveling in defeat. “we’re meant to be.”
[ the two bonding over losing ]
after the second game ; jungwon losing and the breakfast makers decided , they all got ready for the night , putting on their pajamas — her headphones on as she walked into the living room , sitting on the floor. watching them play the game as she grew tired against the couch.
[ sleepy duck ]
“come come.” jay pulled her up , guiding her to the room. laying in between sunoo and jungwon she already half asleep. “jules don’t forget you have to cook tomorrow.”
immediately after walking into the house they’d be staying at she found a spot sitting down her bag. “it’s nice.”
she looked around , walking into different rooms. “we’re all sleeping in there.” sohee pointed to a door , she opened it.
“like all of us?” she closed the door. “i mean sure why not.” she shrugged , continuing her tour around the house.
“they have snacks.” she picked up the packets of crisps. “oh i’ve never had these before.” her feet shuffling to find a member. “are these good?”
“eh.” she looked at sungchan , turning around walking away ; also opening the snack. “they smell fine.” she sniffed , taking one out , eating it.
it wasn’t good.
she turned to the camera , shaking her head. “is it good?” sohee snuck up behind her.
“try them.” he also took a chip , both of them looking in pure disgust before laughing. “give them to eunseok-oppa , he’ll eat almost anything.” she said , making her way out of the kitchen.
laying out on the floor of the bedroom , she let out a loud groan. “this actually feels good.” she turned on her back. “i don’t think i could sleep on the floor like this though.”
“who are you talking to?” anton stood over her , she pointed to the camera. “come.” he bent down , grabbing ankles to drag her into the living room , dropping her feet , her bag already waiting for her.
she opened her bag , pulling out the necessities. “my ipad.” she smiled. “so i can color , my pencil is somewhere inside , i’ll find it when it’s time.”
“my pajamas , i bought these while shopping in japan a few months ago , i literally just found theses in the back of my closet while i was cleaning.” she said. “how messy is your closet?”
“don’t ask unnecessary questions.”
“my vitamins.”
“oh and skin care… ok next person!” she said , sungchan picking up the items , putting them back in her back for her quietly. “isn’t this mines.” he asked holding up hair oil.
“i don’t know it was in the bathrooms in the dorm and i took it.”
she ended up getting picked to go for groceries; they all loaded up in their respective cars. “i want s’mores , it feels like an appropriate snack.” she said as they drove off.
“smores?” wonbin asked.
[ keiko teaching her members american snacks ]
“it’s chocolate and marshmallow in a graham cracker.” she explained. “you eat it when you're camping i guess , but you can eat it at home too.”
“its really sweet though but like i love it , the marshmallows remind me of mochi.” she stared out the window , shotoro laughing beside her. “what?”
“why are you staring out the window like that , are you thinking about them?” her face red , she was flustered. “yah , i’m just saying.” she rolled her eyes at their teasing.
“or ice cream.” wonbin turned around laughing. “keiko is hungry.”
“i am.” she nodded , laughing at herself.
—
a bunch of songs later , they eventually made it to the market , she put on her glasses , stepping out of the car.
while they were talking about pork belly she found her self getting curious about the other stalls ; she started at the one behind them — about to walk to another when eunseok grabbed her hand.
“where are you going?” he asked , she smiled liked she’d been caught. “are you running away?”
“i was looking at the stall behind us.” she defended.
“but you were walking that way.”
he held her hand guiding her through the market , to gather more ingredients ; she passed an elderly lady who gave her a smile , she waved as they passed the stall.
—
“yah , they got ice cream.” she pointed out as the rest of the boys made their way back to the parking lot to meet up.
“i told you they’d get ice cream you said they wouldn’t.” she turned to wonbin. “you’re the one who convinced me not to get it , the devil on my shoulder you are.”
anton ended up giving her half of his.
—
they did a quick stop to get something to eat before head to their next destination…
after wandering around they walked into a tea store. “i’m not sure how we got here.” she walked around looking at different selections. “i don’t drink tea so.” she followed behind , her bag swinging back and forth.
[ she wanted to be here .. promise ]
“i like gelato more”
[ but she is a honest duck ]
after mindlessly walking around ; the only thing they accomplished was ni-ki and sunghoon buying soap and incense , they went back to the bus to wait for the other members. “we didn’t do anything.”
she laughed.
as the members drifted off to sleep , she put her headphones on , turning to the camera , next to a sleeping jake. “everyone fell asleep.” she showed the camera her phone screen. “i’m reading a book and listening to music.”
she looked out the window , then back at the camera. “i’m gonna find some ice cream and cookies and make ice cream sandwiches. “hopefully they have cookie dough.”
jake slightly woke up , she sat back giving him room ; he drifted back to sleep , resting his head on her shoulder. “i have to keep still now…”
[ the puppy has imprisoned the duck ]
“im gonna finish the book.”
five minutes later her head was on top of jake’s and they both were sleep.
[ she eventually fell asleep too …]
they finally made it to the countryside , she woke up just in time as they pulled into the grocery store. “i’m off.”
she walked around the store , speaking to the camera. “i don’t have a cart.” she said , stopping abruptly. “should i go get one…. no it’s fine , let’s go find the cookie dough.”
“i found it!” she picked up the cookie dough. “now let’s go get the ice cream..”
“i asked what they wanted and they all said vanilla… so boring.” she picked up the tub of ice cream. “i’ll get chocolate as well.” her hands now full. “we should’ve got a basket , let’s quickly find the members this is cold.”
as she was waking out she ran into jake and sunoo. “oh thank goodness.” she tossed everything in the cart. “bye bye.”
[ and she’s off again… ]
she eventually found the candy isle , picking out her favorites before making her way back to the group , tossing them in the cart. “jules?” jay said.
“who are you shopping for?” she smiled. “oppa best we not ask any questions.” she patted his shoulders , walking beside him looking at the foods on the shelves.
they finally made it back to the bus , she sat down with gummies in her hand. “my feet hurt.”
she opened the bag , a hand reaching inside before hers , she turned her head to ni-ki. “just one.” she watched in horror as he took out a handful. “yah!”
[ the look of love.. we think ]
“as a kid i had to be supervised by my mother after my brother tricked me into believing you had to swallow the mouth wash.” they all turned to her.
“you don’t do that anymore right.” sunoo asked.
“sometimes i forget in the morning when im tired.” she shrugged.
[ don’t swallow the listerine — jules is not a reliable source , nor does she enforce swallowing the listerine ]
grabbing all her things once they pulled into the accommodation.
she sat her things down , looking around the house. “come.” sunoo dragging her into the elevator. ; the rest of the members piling. “oh wait hold on it’s a lot of us.”
then the elevator had a nerve to stop. “oh wait calm down , nobody touch anything.” she said.
“you’re the only one freaking out.” as the elevator began to start again. “oh okay , it’s moving, we're good.”
the made it to basement looking inside with excitement. “oh a pool!” she opened the door , closing it. “it’s raining.”
she plopped down on the couch, letting out a sigh of relief, her feet were killing her , but it wasn’t for long soon she was back on the elevator making her way to the second floor.
[ jules has spotted the sleeping arrangements ]
she laughed. “and they’re being totally serious too.” she said in english ; shaking her head walking away. “we’ll cross that bridge when it’s time.”
sitting down on the couch next to ni-ki , laying down watching whatever was on tv; her gummies in her hand , scrolling through her phone.
she stayed glued to the couch while everyone moved around her , scrolling through her phone.
[ it isn’t a mannequin… she just hasn’t moved an inch ]
