With Micah's anger out of his mind, Jax fixated himself on the fans' reaction to the finale. He lay down on his bed and surfed through his phone.

He smiled, seeing the positive responses from the fans. His smile turned into laughter when he saw the edits. The fans really knew how to make a serious scene into something funny.

This activity was interrupted when his manager called him. When he answered it, he was greeted with a loud voice so he had to put it away from his ears.

"Congratulatioooooooooons!!!" his manager shouted.

Jax chuckled. "Thank you, Ray. But I think you can always congratulate me with a normal voice."

"Your feat was extraordinary so the congratulations shouldn't just be normal," Ray said. "Because of the finale's big success, the production company has decided to reward the team with a vacation. Aren't you lucky?"

Jax instantly rose up from the bed. "Who said that I'm a homebody?"

The two exchanged their goodbyes. Jax started packing his things. While doing this, he was humming a happy song.

The Green Island was a fond memory of his. His parents always brought him there. And it was also where they were buried. He couldn't wait to visit his parents again.

It was exactly 9:00 AM when Jax arrived at the meeting area. He got inside the bus and while looking for a seat, he saw Sebastian wave at him.

He was walking towards Sebastian when he heard someone clearing his throat. He looked to his right and saw Micah. Miccah's eyes didn't break eye contact even for a second. And Jax knew what he was saying.

"We'll talk when we arrive," Jax mouthed to Sebastian.

He then sat beside Micah.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?" Micah asked.

"But there are no fans here, sir. I think there won't be any problem," Jax replied.

Micah rolled his eyes. "The fans are already waiting for us at Green Island. We have to make sure that what they see is us being close."

Jax nodded his head once, signalling that he got what Micah was telling him.

The ride was silent. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Well, nothing except for the time when Micah accidentally saw what Jax was doing on his phone. He was chatting with Sebastian. Micah was about to tell him to stop, but then he realized that there was no need since there were no spectators in their chat exchange.

So Micah forcibly closed his eyes and leaned on the back rest of the bus seat. It was still a quiet ride. But Micah's mind was not. For Micah, Jax didn't know how to play in this industry. And it was annoying the hell out of him. Well, that's how he rationalized his feelings at that moment.

Micah felt someone softly nudging him. He slowly opened his eyes.

"We've arrived," Jax said softly.

Micah was a little bit surprised. He had seen that soft look from Jax in their scenes many times. But he never thought he would see it from an actor, not a character. 

Micah regained his composure by masking it with annoyance. "I know. Now, let's go. Remember, act close. Their cameras are ready."

When two got out of the bus, they were holding hands. And of course, the fans snapped to their hearts' content. They let go of each other when they got inside the private resthouse.

Micah, being the most popular one, got the star treatment among them. He had a room all to himself. He was happy with that. He really believed that he deserved it. But this line of thinking changed because of what he heard.

"Jax! What's your room?" Sebastian asked.

"I'm assigned to room 206," Jax answered.

Sebastian smiled. "We're in the same room."

Micah bit his lower lip. Play games all night? Jax didn't a thing of what he said. How many times did he have to repeat himself? He's supposed to stay away from Sebastian and stay close to Micah.

"Jax and I will be staying together," Micah said.

All eyes were on the three. Jax found this unreasonable of Micah, but he didn't want to cause a scene. His plan was to talk some sense to Micah in the room where it was only the two of them so as not to make the atmosphere awkward to the whole team.

"Oh yeah. I'm sorry again, Seb. We promised to talk about something important today. I need to stay with him," Jax said.

"But there's only one bed in his room," Sebastian retorted.

Sebastian felt his heart beating fast. He didn't like how Micah always found a way to take away Jax from him. He didn't want Jax to be with him because he knew that Jax wasn't comfortable. And as Jax's little brother (due to Jax taking care of him since day one), he felt that it was his responsibility to help Jax.

But he still felt scared. As a newbie, he knew that Micah could pull enough strings to erase his name from the industry.

Micah raised one of his brows. "You don't have to worry about that. It's a king-sized bed. Jax and I will share it."
