I think we all fear losing someone we love which is why we limit someone gaining to love

The friends arrived at the airport and started checking if everything is there with them or not. Jungkook couldn't find Yoongi and turned to look around.

"Hyung, did we forget Yoongi hyung in the house?", Jungkook asked and even before Jin could answer him, he got a smack on his head.

"Yah! Little Shit, I was the one who sat beside you in the cab if you don't remember", Yoongi stated and Jungkook bit his tongue in embarrassment. Hana looked at him and he immediately turned away.

Ever since he ran away from her in the shopping mall, he had less interaction with her. She tried calling him, texting him and even asked if would hang out with her. But still, he just ignored her messages and calls telling that he was busy. She felt hurt at his ignorance.

Kyunghee moved back to her house since the exams were over and kept thinking about the way Taehyung treated her. He pampered her, consoled her and took care of her like a new born kid. She saw a complete different version of Taehyung, unlike the best friend version. Though she loved this version, she didn't want to think about it anymore.

Yuna and Jimin often hung out in the week. They ate the street food and Jimin felt comfortable with the friendly and understanding Yuna. He didn't expect her to be like that. He was always scared of her nature and often backed himself from talking to her. And now, he started getting used to her presence.

Yoongi and Jin on the other hand are very much worried about their younger brother who is smiling on the outside and breaking himself in the inside. They knew why he was avoiding her and being alone most of the time. He told them that he was playing video games but they could see his lies through his face.

Namjoon and Soo Ah went on short date in between. They became close but Namjoon didn't yet confess what he was feeling. Soo Ah tried to understand him but started to grow insecure when he is taking too long to confirm her.

With the conflicting thoughts in their minds, the friends boarded the plane.

"I will sit beside Jungkook", Hana declared and sat down beside him not giving him any chance to speak. He just nodded and showed a neutral expression while she smiled satisfied that he didn't oppose it.

The rest all took their seats and Taehyung insisted that Kyunghee be seated beside him as he knew she has motion sickness. He sat beside her and when the plane was about to start, she held his hand and he rubbed it to make her feel relaxed.

On the other hand Jimin held Yuna's hand as he was scared of heights and she rubbed it gently to make him feel better. He thanked her for that. And then, everything was normal. Jin and Ara drifted to sleep lying on each other's shoulders.

Taehyung and Kyunghee were listening to songs and Soo Ah kept talking random things to Namjoon while he just kept listening to her. Yoongi also slept with Hoseok beside him who was watching a movie.

"Do you want cookie?", Hana asked Jungkook and he politely rejected her.

"I am not hungry Hana", he stated and she frowned.

"Doesn't Kookie like Cookie?", she asked with a pout on her face and he couldn't control himself from falling for her cuteness. He maintained his calm while his heart was racing adoring her presence.

"Why are you being like this Jungkook?", she asked taking a sigh.

"Like what?",he pretended to be confused but deep down, he knew what she is implying.

"Don't pretend like you don't know. You are changing Jungkook", she blurted as his ignorance is bother her a lot lately.

"I am the same Hana. You are thinking too much. Just sleep now", he told her and patted her head while she lied on his shoulder entwining his hands with hers. That action made him shocked to the core and caused goosebumps on his skin.

"As long as you still be my friend, I am okay", she uttered and closed her eyes. He felt guilty for making her worried but at the same time, when she called him friend, he felt a sharp pang of pain in his heart. He knew it will only be hurting him if he stays close to her.

He looked at her and soon she drifted asleep. He smiled looking at the unconscious figure on his shoulder and brushed her hairs softly. Whist admiring his love beside him, he slowly drifted to sleep.

The plane landed and Hoseok woke all the friends up. They got up and took their luggage and got out of the airport. A van came and the friends boarded in.

"I didn't know dad would send a van", Jungkook exclaimed.

"He thinks a way better than us.", Yoongi sighed and talked to the driver who greeted him. The driver explained that he will be incharge of touring them till they stay.

"So guys, we will be reaching the hotel in twenty minutes. And here we start the trip"., Jin announced and everyone cheered. Hana tried to approach Jungkook again but he just ignored her. It made her feel lonely.

They reached the hotel and few workers came to help them with the luggages.

"6 rooms were booked under the name Kim Seok Jin sir, these are the entry cards", the receptionist greeted the members and Jin took the cards.

"Guys, I am telling you. Leave these love birds in one room. I don't want them to cry in the night that they miss each other.", Yoongi declared and everyone else nodded. Jin and Ara grinned sheepishly.

"Yes, hyung. Noona and hyung can be in one room. We both will share one", Jungkook spoke and Yoongi nodded.

"Me and Tae will settle in one", Jimin spoke and took an entry card.

"Me and Hoseok then", Namjoon took another card.

"Me and Kyunghee will take one room and that leaves Yuna and Soo Ah in a room", Hana spoke and the girls nodded. Jin put his arm over his girlfriend and walked towards the rooms while Jungkook and Yoongi just shook their heads in disbelief.

Soon they settled themselves in their rooms and decided to take a nap till the evening. Jungkook helped Hana and Kyunghee with the luggage but didn't speak anything.

"What's wrong with you guys lately?" Kyunghee asked her sister who still don't know the reason why Jungkook is behaving like that.

"God knows why he is like that", she sighed crashing onto the bed while Kyunghee lied beside her.

"Are you okay Eonnie?", she asked and Hana shook her head in negation.

"I am not Kyunghee. I can't tolerate his ignorance. I am trying to understand him. I even tried to remember if I had done any mistake or if I had hurt him unintentionally. But I didn't do any of that. I am so used to him Kyunghee. It is not so easy", Hana confessed and her eyes became moist.

"Everything will be alright Eonnie. I am sure Jungkook would never leave you on hanging. He must be having some reasons to be like that. Try talking to him even if he pushes you back", she advised and Hana just nodded.

#####

It was evening and the friends decided to go the Hyeopjae Beach. They got into loose floral dresses and boarded the van. Hana just sat beside Jungkook though he didn't talk to her about anything.

They reached the place and everyone jumped squealing looking at the beach. Clear waters and white sands are combined with broken shells. The long and beautiful shoreline offers a mesmerizing view of low-tide, with an Island floating in the distance. The blue translucent water creates the illusion that one might even reach the island on foot.

"It looks so good", Yuna exaggerated the good in her lines admiring the breath taking view of the blue waters in front of her. Jimin smiled seeing her face beamed with a wide smile and they both ran towards the beach.

"Hey! Wait for us", Soo Ah also ran behind them grabbing Namjoon by her side. Yoongi just facepalmed himself looking at the people infront of him. Jin and Ara walked hand in hand slowly, towards the beach.

"Tae ah, we will make sand castles", Kyunghee stated and Taehyung immediately agreed. Hoseok was beside Yoongi talking about how he feels so relaxed at the moment. And Jungkook and Hana were walking beside each other with complete silence.

The silence is piercing each other's heart but still they decided to be like that. Hana brushed her hands against Jungkook's but he just took a step far from her. She felt hurt at his action and took a deep breath.

"See, there is a small crab", Namjoon walked to the small crab and adored it.

"Joon", Soo Ah called as he adored the little creature in front of him.

"Isn't it cute Soo Ah?", he asked her and she bent down to take a close look.

"Do you like them?", she asked and he nodded. Soo Ah calmed herself and just adored her creature holding his little creature. She was actually scared of them but seeing him adoring the species, she didn't want to express her fear.

"Kyunghee ah, not like that. We will have another dome", Taehyung piled up some more sand and kept shaping them. He was so concentrated in building the sand castle.

"Tae, do you remember the time we built sand castles when we were kids?", she asked him and he let out a smile.

"I do. We used to really work hard to build them and Hyung joins, making all our hard work vanish in seconds", he chuckled and she laughed remembering their funny moments. And then it hit her, Taehyung had been with her since so long and was there even when she is facing hard time.

She felt guilty that she couldn't be empathetic when he had a break up and took the side of her sister's though it wasn't the fault of anyone. She felt bad for completely ignoring him while he tried his best to approach her.

"Tae ah, I am very sorry", she apologised and her eyes glistened. Noticing the sudden change in her, he immediately rushed to her leaving the work he was doing.

"What happened Kyunghee? Why are you sorry?", he asked caressing her cheek and she hugged him.

"I am sorry for ignoring you all the time and for distancing you when you did no wrong", she cried and he shushed her by placing an index finger on her lips.

"It's okay. At least we are fine now", he smiled and she held his hands.

"Thank you Tae ah, for being on my side and not leaving me since long", she expressed her gratitude and Taehyung felt more than happy. Something inside him urged him to confess his feelings to the girl he loves.

"We always promised to be there for each other right?", he reminded her and she nodded vigorously wiping her tears and they continued building their castles.

Jin wrote J and A on the side and Ara smiled looking at that.

"I think there is something missing", Ara sat down beside him and drew heart shape around the names making Jin blush.

"Perfect", she exclaimed and her lips curved in a wide smile. Unable to resist the cuteness, he pecked her lips and she blushed.

"Jungkook, I love those shells Come let's collect them", Hana grabbed Jungkook's sleeves and dragged him.

"They are so nice", she exclaimed and started collecting them. Jungkook could do nothing but silently adore his love squealing in happiness. She collected so many and squealed frantically every time she sees a new one.

"Jungkook, open your hand. I have too many in mine", she called but he didn't respond.

"They are enough Hana", he uttered and she frowned.

"Please", she pouted trying to be cute and only God knows how Jungkook is controlling his urge to kiss her lips.

"Enough Hana", he spoke in a stern voice and she scrunched her nose. She thought of convincing him again and pulled his sleeve. He just wanted to avoid her so he shoved her making her flinch and stumble on her leg causing all the shells to fall down.

He immediately realised what he had done. Hana just looked away trying to hide her tears which were ready to come out. She just started collecting the shells mindlessly.

"Hana, get up. What are doing?", he pulled her up but she pushed him.

"Hana, are you hurt anywhere? Let me check you", he bent down to check her but she looked away.

"Why do you care now?", she yelled at him and he felt guilty.

"Hana, it's not like that. Let me see you. Are you hurt anywhere?", he checked her legs, if she was hurt anywhere and sighed in relief when he found no bruise.

"Why are you like this Jungkook? Why are you acting like you don't care?", she let out a bellow and tears streamed down her face. He just stayed silent not knowing what to answer and his silence made her even more hurt.

"Fine. Pretend like I didn't ask you about this", She got up and went away. A small tear escaped from Jungkook's eyes looking at her vanishing figure leaving in haste.

The friends were tired and reached the hotel. They had an early dinner and crashed on to their beds as they need to get up early the next day.

Ara and Jin woke up everyone as they woke up early. They decided to go on hiking at Mt Hallasan. In order to complete the hiking around 1, they must begin at 10. Everyone woke up and had their breakfasts.

They boarded the van and it might take time to reach the hill, so they decided to take a nap in the vehicle itself. Hana didn't talk to Jungkook since their fight the previous nor did Jungkook try to initiate the talk. Hana sat down beside Yuna while Jimin sat down beside Jungkook.

They reached the destination on time. The early section was beautiful. The stream was low, creating all these little rockpools that vividly reflected the green trees surrounding them. And the wildflower looked ethereal in many shades of blue, mauve and purple. It was so tempting to go exploring down the river, but they just stayed on the track.

"There is a railway", Ara exclaimed.

"It is for emergency services Ara. To take the injured people down off as soon as possible", Yoongi informed.

"Very clever", Jimin sighed.

They started taking the steps and climbed up. At the beginning, the friends were full of zeal and enthusiasm and as the steps increased, exhaustion dominated the excitement.

"Ugh! I can't walk anymore", Yuna groaned holding her waist.

"Let's just walk for some more time, we will reach the shelter soon", Hana informed and the word shelter felt like a heaven for them.

Jungkook just stayed beside Hana, just incase she doesn't trip. He didn't make it obvious, but he kept stealing glances of her and checked her every minute. They reached the shelter and filled their stomachs with kimbap. They even packed some for the rest of the hike.

Taehyung helped Kyunghee as she was slow. They kept talking and climbed slowly. And finally around 2 PM, they reached the viewing platform. They felt relieved that their legs and lungs could have a rest in the nest few minutes.

And then they kept walking to the final summit. The fog and mist kept getting thick as they ascended the steep hill. The path wound its way up the last few hundred metres, around craggy cliffs and through narrow gouges in the volcanic rock. The closer they got to that elusive peak the thicker the crowd.

At long last, four hours after they had started, the summit appeared. Weary hikers were strewn across the path in various states of fatigue; some were digging into a hearty late lunch, others swigging on soju with elated grins on their faces.

The friends looked at each other and jumped as they finally reached the summit. All of them had a group hug and squealed in happiness.

"One, two, three", Jin yelled and everyone else shouted

"Together Forever"

And lastly, they must descend the peaks. Kyunghee wanted to view the lake which could be viewed till the carter's edge and Taehyung accompanied. He told the rest to start and that they would join them soon.

"It's breathtakingly beautiful", she expressed and he smiled.

"Just like you", he admired her and she looked at him with confusion.

"What?", she asked and he held her hands.

"Kyunghee, I've wanted to tell you this since long. But I never got a chance. And now, I couldn't control myself from telling this to you. Kyunghee ah, I like you. I like you so much", he confessed looking into her eyes.

"What are you speaking Taehyung?", she was thunderstruck at his confession.

"Kyunghee ah, you have always been by my side when I don't have anyone. You know how depressed I was when Eomma and Appa left me. You were the one who stayed beside me and helped me overcome the despair of my tragedy. I know you were my best friend Kyunghee ah, but I like you more than that. I want to hold you, pamper you, and just keep sticking to you forever. I was jealous that you like Jimin as a man. I could never think about a life without you Kyunghee ah. I want to cherish you all through my life", he spoke with sincerity in his eyes. She stepped back making him shocked.

"Is that why you broke up with my sister?"
