!! CHAPTER EIGHT !!


It's here...The retreat 👀 IM SO EXCITED!!! 💛🤩💛

🎬

Taehyung made sure that everything was accounted for when packing all his items for the retreat. He even double checked, actually triple checked that he wasn't missing anything.

His boss instructed them to bring no more than one luggage for the two day experience. But that wasn't a lot and put a lot of stress on Taehyung on what was essential to bring. Also restricting the amount of clothes he would bring.

He zipped up his zebra printed suitcase and propped it on its wheels, once he was ready to go.

In his olive green shorts and black and white printed blouse, he saunter his way to the subway, to meet everyone at his work. They were going to take a bus all together to reach the destination, as the beginning of their bonding experience.

Taehyung loosened the navy blue scarf that was wrapped around his neck while everyone gathered into the subway.

Bodies crammed together, as he came at one of the busiest hours of the day. The intercom repeated the location he needed to stop at. Walking out of the subway he accidentally hit people with his luggage by accident. One he climbed up the stairs while lugging his bag. He reached the main streets again, taking a breath in realizing he was holding his breath the whole time since he exited out.

The sound of the wheels crinkled on the concrete floor as it trailed behind him. Seeing a large group of people gathering in front of a black bus.  He took that as a sign everyone was set and ready to role.

He joined the crowd that bickered amongst themselves. Spotting in the crowd of people Jeongguk was holding onto the handle of his black suitcase in one hand, and his phone in the other.  Oddly, something dangled from his finger, a silver keychain hung from his middle finger that had the shape of a turtle. Cute. He thought to himself.

He shimmied past everyone cautious of where the wheels went, refusing to repeat what happened at the subway.

He tapped on Jeongguk's shoulder as the male closed the screen immediately from any one seeing what he was doing. What is he hiding? He gave his full attention to Taehyung who still had his hand on his shoulder before placing it by his sides.

"Wanna sit together?" There Taehyung went again with his push and shove plan. Bailed on his one day, but close to him the next.

"I guess." Taehyung didn't know if Jeongguk was referencing his own words from yesterday, or it was just pure coincidence and overthinking at his replied. But Taehyung smiled at him to make things a little less awkward. Only a small turn of Jeongguk's lips was his reaction, a half smile.

From a distance, he saw Sohyun coming from the other side of the street waving her hand when they made eye contact. Taehyung wasn't going to just stand and stare at her so he waved back.

When Sohyun got close enough she hugged the boys. "Ah Hello! It's so nice outside! I hope there is a lot of outdoor activities!"

"Nice to see you to SoHyun, it's my first time yet you sure hype it up a lot." Taehyung laughed at her greeting.

"I just like the hot tub."  The younger perked. The older male wasn't expecting Jeongguk to comment in, but was pleasantly surprised.

"Oh yeah, they have really nice jacuzzi's and hot tubs! At least at most of the retreats I went too."  Sohyun continued to be her giddy self while casually sitting on top of her matte pink carryon.

"Are we supposed to all fit on the one bus?" Taehyung did a small head count of all the people around them.

"Yeah, we're mandatory guests so any other crew member that's coming doesn't have too, but the company is well off enough to provide for everyone."

Taehyung hummed as he casually rolled his suitcase in a circle, as the wheels rotated around. Jeongguk pulled his phone again and started to dilly dally with their free time.

"Taehyung you want to sit together?" Sohyun leaned forwards giving Taehyung puppy eyes with her hands clasped together in front of her.

The sound of a mega phone echoed through their ears before Taehyung had the chance to reply. "Attention everyone, it is 10:00am. We are now going to load our belongings and enter the vehicle now! Please proceed in orderly fashion." The voice was scratchy to ears with all the vowels mumbled together.

"So? Seat buddies?" She asked again, twisting her pink converse in the ground.

"Sorry Sohyun," He fanned his hand along the side of his hair. "I'm sitting with Jeongguk."

"Ah... That's no problem, but promise to sit with me on the way back!" She yelled as he walked away from the pair, "Ladies first!" She giggled before going off to store her luggage in the bus compartment.

Taehyung laughed at how free spirited and easy going Sohyun was and it was refreshing being around her. When Taehyung turned around he saw the experienced actor entranced with his phone seeing the white ear buds the poked out of his ear, that wasn't there before.

Taehyung took out one of them by the little stick handle that dangled. When he did blaring music that had typical trap instrumental, continued to making ticking noises when out of the males ear.

"Jeongguk, we're heading on the bus now."

Jeongguk shoved his phone into his pocket, before yanking the ear phone out of the older's hand. "Don't touch my stuff please."

He removed the other bud from his ear and put them back in their respectful place in the white container that had their mounded shapes ingrained.

Taehyung and Jeongguk went together to stash away their luggage's and headed into the bus. Most of the seats were already occupied but Taehyung managed to see a two seater spot near the back.

The bus was more spacious then he thought. Even had tables in front of each seat and a mini T.V mounted on the back of the headboards.

For a four hour drive, it seemed very comfortable.

Jeongguk took the window seat and so Taehyung took the other with no complaint. When being situated, Jeongguk was going to put his ear bud back in but Taehyung grabbed onto his wrist. "How about we don't listen to music right now."

"What else are we supposed to do?" Jeongguk asked flitting his gaze from Taehyung's grip on his wrist to his round feline eyes.

"I don't know... Talk?"

"What's there to talk abo-" Cut off short, the director gained the attention of everyone on the bus.

"We are now heading to the retreat. There is no eating or drinking permitted on this bus. Please respect the driver and enjoy the ride! We have the pleasure of the driver taking us through scenic routes!  During the journey, I will personally be initiating some pre-retreat activities! Keeping this all in mind, let's all have fun!" Crew members and staff all applauded and hollered at the director in excitement.

The intimidating man behind a desk was no longer the image Taehyung was having in his head, but rather a relaxed director in his environment.

The engine of the bus turned on, as they felt the slight jostle once the bus started moving onto the main roads. The director made his way back to his seat that wasn't far from theirs, and in fact only a couple rows behind them.

While Taehyung was paying attention to the director, Jeongguk was sneakily trying to snake the ear bud back in until Taehyung whipped his head around and stopped him for a second time.

"Let's just talk." His tone was soft as he eyed Jeongguk to put the bud away.

"Your not going to kiss me are you?"

Taehyung retracted his arm back after what Jeongguk said. "Don't be ridiculous."

"Is curiosity eating you away?" Jeongguk cockily plastered a smug look on his face.

Finally having both his phone and ear buds out of sight. His full attention was on Taehyung as he turned his torso to face him.

"What curiosity? People talk. It's basic human interaction." Taehyung replied not even looking at Jeongguk, he stared the opposite direction, with his eyes to the side of his face.

"So tell me then Taehyung, what did you want to talk about?" Taehyung turned his head over to Jeongguk.

"Pre-activity number one!" Their boss came out of nowhere and sat down on a the seat that was adjacent to theirs. Taehyung whipped his head back to the voice. The man was holding a cloth, memo pad and black sharpie.

"You will be playing blindfolded Pictionary!" His boss exclaimed happily shoving the items on the table in front of them. Jeongguk's eyebrows furrowed as he squinted his eyes at the objects.

"One person will be given a topic, courtesy of me and will have to draw the thing blindfolded. While the other person has to guess what it is! No reward, but pair that gets the most right in 5 minutes wins!"

So their boss assigned them their roles. Taehyung was assigned the guessing role while Jeongguk was given the drawing role. Taehyung sat on the seat that was beside theirs giving Jeongguk the space to draw. Taehyung looked at their boss who had a smile still plastered on his face after whispering the thing Jeongguk has to draw, in his ear.
He was on standby with a stopwatch, and Jeongguk started to wrap the cloth around his eyes.

"Ready, set, go!" The man clicked on the stopwatch and the time started ticking. Jeongguk took the lid off of the sharpie with his teeth and held the cap in his mouth as he started forming lines on the paper.

It started as an upside down 'U' until he squiggled a bit to make two circles attached to it.

Something clicked in Taehyung's mind and said it out loud, "It's a penis!" Then paused when Jeongguk wasn't finished the drawing, adding two dots in the middle of the circles.

"No? What the fuck? Why is there nipples on the balls?" Taehyung tilted his head as Jeongguk held on the memo pad in the air continuing  to draw arrows at the image. Taehyung pauses for a moment until their boss said, "times up."

"You're so dumb... It was sex!" Jeongguk pried the cloth from his eyes and looked at his drawing satisfied.

"Well guess our first pairs score is 0, nice try." The boss said while taking the items and going off to the next pair.

"The fuck? Was I supposed to guess it was titty fucking?!" He whispered yelled at Jeongguk, before sitting back on his original seat.

"Come on, it wasn't that hard." Jeongguk stuck out his tongue with a straight face, until he closed his mouth and exposed a dimple that was prominent on one side.

"Boys have dicks and girls have titties, how does that not tell you sex?" He just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well so you know, we lost because of your shitty drawing."

🎬

It past the two hour mark already, and their boss informed them that they would make a pit stop for any washroom breaks and gas refill.

"Let me off this damn bus already." Taehyung stood up waiting for all the people in front of him to leave. Maybe picking the back wasn't a good idea. Taehyung squeezes his legs together anxiously tapping his index finger on the head of the seat.

"Someone looks like their gonna piss them-self." Jeongguk covered his mouth preventing his lips from erupting a loud laugh.

"Oh shut up, I want to get away from you too."

"You don't mean that~" Jeongguk flirtingly joked, slightly nudging his arm as he stood up too.

Surely enough, everyone that needed to go to the washroom exited out of the bus and Taehyung and Jeongguk were the next ones to walk off the bus.

Taehyung basically dashed to the men's washroom, not bothering to speak another word to Jeongguk, while he made his way.

After flushing the toilet, and washing his hands. His system was finally relieved, cursing himself for not going to the bathroom before they left.

While casually dusting off his hands from any extra water, he saw Jeongguk off in the distance taking off his shirt, while in front of the vehicle.

"What the fuck?" Taehyung's lips formed in a thin line looking at the younger unimpressed but had to make his way in the same direction to get on the bus.

"Oh perfect! Taehyung!" Jeongguk started jogging up to Taehyung in his godly appearance. The scorching sun of mid day rayed in their direction.

It wasn't till now that Taehyung realizes how humid it was. Jeongguk's forehead was already secreting small beads of sweat, that dripped down from his temples.

Jeongguk pulled out his phone, "can you take pictures for me?"

Taehyung's eyes lingered a little to long on his lower torso, it was his second time seeing the sculpted body in front of him. "Hello?" Jeongguk lowered his back, hands on his hips, while tilting his head to look at Taehyung, "take this, and I'll stand here. Any angle is fine."

Jeongguk went over in front of the bus, and leaned his back on it, "ah! Hot! Take the picture quick!" Jeongguk kept his back on the vehicle and shoved his hands in his pockets while he looked off in the distance.

Taehyung snapped a couple pictures, and being quite to photographer himself took them at unique angles that did him justice, but he made sure to also have one plain straight picture out of the many he snapped.

"Okay okay! That's good enough." Jeongguk winced taking his back off and placing his cooler hand on his back.

Taehyung held the phone out, while Jeongguk grabbed it with his free hand. Quickly scrolling through each, he nodded his head. "Alright one of these will work."

"Lemme guess your gonna say you miss your dog" Taehyung rolled his eyes remembering how his feed would look like.

"What?! How'd you know?" He placed a hand on his bare hip, letting his discarded shirt rest on his shoulder.

"Lucky guess..." Taehyung shrugged his shoulder almost exposing himself and decided to just walk away from the situation and head back in the bus.

"Not so fast." Jeongguk grabbed onto Taehyung's slim wrist. Halting his from his steps, turning around to see what Jeongguk has to say. "Is it safe to say you've stalked my page?" Taehyung scoffed, and patted on Jeongguk hand that was his wrist.

"Don't get ahead of yourself."

Taehyung walked away from Jeongguk when he let go of him. Taehyung was just lying to him once again.

If anything, it was him who shouldn't get ahead of himself. Things were going as according to plan.
