They were sure they had walked for almost one hour before they began to see houses up ahead. All the while, Jimin and Taehyung had been holding hands without even realizing it. Smiles enveloped their faces when they saw people walking up and about buying and selling items. There were several cement houses and shops. Little children ran around them giggling. They looked behind them and they could no longer see the island.

The place seemed secluded from the rest of the world. They were sure it wasn't even on the world map. The environment seemed neat and there were farm animals everywhere. They were soon the focus of attention as they passed.

Sana answered greetings from the rest of the villagers as they walked by.

"I will take you to the home of the village head. I work there. That's where the others are" she said.

They walked further until they stopped in front of a big building. They were surprised to see Jungkook standing there. When he saw them, his face lit into a bright smile.

"Jimin! Taehyung!" He shouted.

He ran towards them and embraced them.

"We thought you were dead" Jimin muttered.

Jungkook scoffed and laughed. "Dead? I can never die even if I wanted to"

Jimin looked at him curiously. Taehyung just shrugged. Jungkook arched an eyebrow staring at their clasped hands.

"I can see you two have been getting along really well"

Jimin realized what he was referring to and tore his hands away from Taehyung's smiling awkwardly.

Jungkook turned to Sana. "Thank you" he whispered.

"There's nothing to it. Besides you were right. There would be bigger conches on the island. Look how many I caught" Sana said excitedly showing Jungkook her bowl.

Jimin caught those words immediately and stared suspiciously at the younger man. There was something about him he couldn't quite put his fingers to.

Jungkook smiled. "That's good Sana. The chief was calling for you earlier"

"I better get going then," she said then smiled at Jimin and Taehyung.

"You two go relax. Jungkook will show you to the guest house"

She hurried away while Jungkook grabbed both of their hands and started walking.

"The others will be so happy to see you. They all thought you both were dead"

"And what about you?" Jimin questioned narrowing his eyes at him.

Jungkook grinned. "I had a feeling you both were still alive"

He took a deep breath. "However, Jin is recovering from a high fever while Yoongi is still unconscious from a snake bite. Hoseok almost died swallowing the poison to save him but I found them at the right time"

"That's a relief" Taehyung muttered.

Jimin continued staring at Jungkook until he seemed to notice it.

"Is there something on my face Jimin?"

"How did you end up here Jungkookshi?"

The younger hesitated a bit before answering. "Well, I showed up on the shores and they found me"

His left eye blinked and Jimin caught the weird action but he didn't say anything until they reached their destination.

The house was made of wood and it looked homely. They all entered and Jimin shouted in joy as soon as he saw Jin. Namjoon was sitting beside him and they seemed to be in some sort of conversation.

"Jin Hyung!" Jimin yelled. Jin looked surprised and then shouted in happiness as soon as he saw the other.

"Chim Chim!" He shouted spreading his arms wide for a hug. Jimin ran into them and squeezed Jin lightly.

Meanwhile, the other two friends reunited hugging each other tightly.

"Man, we thought you were dead," Namjoon said patting Taehyung's back.

"It's so good to see you Hyung"

"You too" he whispered.

Jimin stared at Jin. "You look so pale Hyung"

Jin sighed. "I was so sick but Namjoon has been taking care of me" He looked at the said boy and a small blush appeared on his cheeks. "He really is an angel"

Namjoon blushed too scratching the back of his head nervously. "It really wasn't anything"

Jimin cleared his throat to reduce the tension in the room

"So where are Hobi and Yoongi?" he asked.

"They are in their room" Jin whispered but his expression looked terrible.

Namjoon put a hand on Taehyung's shoulder. "Yoongi isn't doing well Tae. He got poisoned by a snake and he has been unconscious since they bought him here yesterday"

He shook his head wearing a painful expression "They have done everything they can. It's all up to Yoongi now"

Taehyung sighed sadly.

"How about Hoseok?" Jimin said

"He hasn't left his side since" Namjoon answered.

"I'm going to see him" Tae finally said

"I'm coming with you" Jimin added. Tae nodded blankly and Jungkook led him to the room. Behind him was Jimin.

They entered a room with a black door and saw Hoseok sitting beside Yoongi who was lying on the bed. He was squeezing the hand of the lifeless boy looking miserable.

"Hobi Hyung" Jimin muttered and the older turned around in shock. The pain vanished from his eyes as soon as he saw him. He ran and hugged him happily tears running down his eyes.

"I can't believe it Jimin, you are alive"

They separated and his eyes rounded at Taehyung. "You are also alive, I can't believe it" He whispered.

The happiness was only temporary because he turned back to Yoongi.

"How's he doing?" Taehyung said.

Hoseok sank back onto his seat.

"The whole poison was removed but he's still not waking up" he grumbled.

"I feel so terrible right now. He tried to save me and now...." He sniffed "All I've ever done is hate him. I should have told him...."

He stopped himself and bit his lips painfully.

"Hey guys, you two should freshen up. There are clothes in your room. I believe Sana is coming soon with your meals" Jungkook said to Jimin and Taehyung. They didn't want to leave but Jungkook kept reassuring them so they left the room after saying goodbye to Hoseok.

Jungkook led them to a single neat room with just one bed and wardrobe.

"The other rooms have already been taken. This is the only room available. You two should get comfortable"

"Thank you," Taehyung said to the younger. Jimin said nothing because he still had double thoughts about the guy. Jungkook left and Jimin sighed loudly.

Taehyung looked at him. "Are you okay?"

Jimin shrugged "I think so. I'm just worried that's all"

But then he paused. "Tae, do you think that Jungkook guy is strange?"

Taehyung looked confused. "Strange? I don't think so"

He suddenly pulled off his dirty shirt making Jimin gasp and turn around. He hadn't expected that attack and he completely forgot what they had been talking about.

He heard the younger slightly chuckle behind him.

"You were saying...."

From the corner of his eyes, he saw his trousers being flung on the bed. He suddenly remembered that he was sharing a room with a man who wanted nothing more than to get into his pants.

"What are you doing?" he muttered.

"I want to take a shower" He answered simply and passed by him. Jimin was relieved he was at least covering his private area with a towel.

Jimin blushed so hard, he knew he was as red as a tomato.

"Keep on talking..."

Jimin sighed impatiently. "Just go take your bath. We can discuss later"

He saw Taehyung grin before entering the bathroom. It took him a while before he finished and came out, his skin shining wet with water accenting those ridiculously beautiful abs.

Jimin struggled not to look at him and ran into the bathroom fully clothed. He wasn't about to take chances with Taehyung. Who knew what he was capable of.

He was happily taking his bath reveling in the feel of the water on his skin and trying to forget about the happenings of the past three days when he heard Taehyung's voice outside.

"Jiminah, hurry up. Sana is here with some food" he said.

Sana. He had some things to ask her. He hurried his bathing and came out wearing a towel. Sana reddened on seeing his half-nakedness but Jimin smiled.

"You have nothing to be embarrassed about. At least not with us"

Sana nodded understandably and dropped the rice dishes she had brought to a table.

"Enjoy!" She said and started to leave

"Wait!" Jimin yelled and she stopped.

"Do you have a phone?"

She nodded. "We do but we don't have service. You will have to walk to the tower before you can make a call"

"The tower" Taehyung muttered thoughtfully.

"Sana, can I ask another question?"

"What's that?"

"Our friend Jungkook, can you tell me how he ended up here?"

She nodded "He just showed up at the village three days ago and told us he was shipwrecked with his friends. Because of him, we started entering the island. We never go past it because it's dangerous but Jungkook always insists otherwise"

Jimin smiled. "That's all Sana and thank you very much for the meal"

She bowed her head. "You're welcome," she said and left quickly.

Jimin looked at Taehyung "He lied Taehyung. He wasn't washed up on the shore. He suddenly appeared here"

He shook his head. "I'm telling you Tae, something is not right about that guy. He doesn't seem normal"

Taehyung just nodded staring deeply at the smaller boy who was wearing nothing but a towel. He didn't even hear what he was saying. All he knew was that he was the most beautiful person in the world.
