The morning sun bathed Cancun’s pristine beaches in a soft, golden glow. The soothing rhythm of waves crashing against the shore brought a sense of peace to everyone there. Well, almost everyone. Y/n, despite having dreamed about this getaway with her friends for weeks, was back at it with her camera.
Near the edge of the infinity pool at their rented villa, she focused her lens on Jaehyun, who effortlessly posed against the shimmering water. His slightly tanned skin caught the light perfectly, and his platinum blonde hair looked almost like it was glowing under the morning rays.
“Okay, babe, that’s enough,” Y/n finally said, lowering the camera with a playful shake of her head and a smirk. “You’re supposed to be relaxing, not auditioning for your next campaign.”
Jaehyun grinned, his dimples making an appearance as he ran a hand through his damp hair.
“You’re the one who said the lighting was perfect, baby. I’m just being cooperative.”
With a cheeky glint in his eye, he struck an exaggerated bicep-flexing pose, earning a burst of laughter from Y/n. Before she could respond, a dramatic sigh broke the moment.
“Oh my god, can you two not?”
Both of them turned to see Ten strolling onto the pool deck, wearing a brightly patterned shirt billowing in the breeze. His oversized sunglasses—ones Y/n relentlessly mocked—covered most of his face but couldn’t hide his signature deadpan expression.
“Some of us are single and trying to soak up the vibes. Nobody needs this over-the-top Instagram couple energy right now.”
Y/n laughed, slipping the camera strap off her neck.
“Didn’t you say last night that being single was a personal choice?”
“That was last night,” Ten replied, collapsing onto a lounger like he was auditioning for a soap opera. “This morning, I’ve decided love can find me—ideally while I’m holding a cocktail.”
Jaehyun chuckled as Y/n shook her head, amused.
The villa soon buzzed with energy as the rest of the group emerged one by one. Johnny appeared first, a beach umbrella slung over his shoulder like it was a fashion statement. His unbuttoned linen shirt revealed his already bronzed skin, and with his usual swagger, he slipped on aviators and surveyed the scene.
“Where is everyone? We’re wasting prime beach time.”
“On their way!” Haechan’s voice called out from inside. Moments later, he strutted out, wielding a GoPro on a selfie stick like it was an Olympic torch. “Today’s vlog is gonna be ICONIC.”
Behind him came Mark, juggling a volleyball and a bottle of sunscreen.
“Alright, broskis! Who’s ready to get obliterated by Team Markhyuck?” he shouted, trying to spin the volleyball on one finger. It lasted about two seconds before it hit him square in the face.
“Doesn't even sound like a team name,” Yuta muttered as he walked by, smirking.
Down at the beach, the sun burned hotter, but the volleyball match was even more intense. Johnny and Jaehyun ended up on opposite teams, their competitive streaks in full display.
“That’s your serve?” Johnny called out, shading his eyes dramatically as he tracked the ball.
“I’d call it better than anything you’ve got, grandpa,” Jaehyun shot back, smirking.
“Grandpa? We are slightly the same age” Johnny placed his hands on his hips in mock outrage, earning laughter from everyone else.
Meanwhile, Ten was actively dodging the ball whenever it came his way.
“Why am I even here? I’m a makeup artist, not an athlete!” he cried, just before tripping over his own feet trying to hit a serve, landing face-first in the sand.
“Content! Content!” Haechan yelled, capturing the scene on his GoPro while cackling.
Y/n dodged a stray ball that Ten had missed, laughing so hard she had to lean on her knees for support.
“Ten, you’re supposed to hit the ball, not sacrifice yourself for it!”
“Sorry, not all of us were born athletic,” Ten quipped, brushing sand off his face and shirt. “I bring beauty, not brute force.”
The game ended as chaotically as it had started when Mark accidentally popped the volleyball, eliciting groans from everyone except Ten, who looked relieved.
After the game, the group headed to a beachfront restaurant. The air was filled with the smell of sizzling tacos and grilled meat, and colorful plates and tropical drinks quickly filled the table.
“So,” Johnny started, leaning back in his chair with a tequila glass in hand. “When’s the wedding?”
Silence fell as everyone turned to Y/n and Jaehyun.
“Uh… we’ve been busy?” Jaehyun said casually, shrugging.
“Busy making a baby,” Ten teased, earning a swift kick under the table from Y/n.
“Can you not?!” she squealed, her cheeks turning pink as she buried her face in her hands.
“Wait… are you?” Haechan asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.
“We’re thinking about it,” Jaehyun admitted with a shy smile.
Johnny nearly choked on his drink.
“Thinking? You’re telling me I’m going to be Uncle Johnny soon?”
“Please don’t call yourself that,” Y/n groaned, though she couldn’t help but laugh.
The conversation shifted to lighthearted teasing and shared stories, the table echoing with laughter and clinking glasses.
That night, the group gathered around a firepit back at the villa. Soft music and the sound of waves crashing in the distance set a mellow vibe. Ten, manning an impromptu cocktail bar, handed out drinks while Haechan insisted on playing Never Have I Ever.
“Never have I ever… walked a runway at Paris Fashion Week,” Haechan said, pointing directly at Jaehyun, who rolled his eyes but took a sip.
''Not fair'' said Jaehyun drinking.
The game spiraled into hysterical confessions, snarky comebacks, and fits of laughter as the night deepened. At one point, Y/n looked around at her closest friends, her heart swelling with gratitude.
“Guys,” she began softly, “I know I don’t say this enough, but I’m so glad and happy we’re here together. This... this is what really matters.”
“Awwww, we love you too Y/n!” Mark shouted, wrapping her in an overenthusiastic hug.
“Alright, enough with the Hallmark moment,” Ten said, raising his glass. “Here’s to more vacations, less drama and maybe a baby... or two in the near future”
Laughter and cheers rang out as the group toasted under the stars, their night perfect in its simplicity. For now, the world outside didn’t matter—this was their time.
