Hello Lovelies! I'm halfway through summer school so I'll have more updates after a couple weeks! 🦋☁️🦋

🎬

In the morning through the glass window of Taehyung's room the sun shined in his direction. Forgetting to close the curtain the night before allowed for the sun of a new day to illuminate the room.

The chirping bird sequence that came from his phone echoed through his room, while it was buzzing on the dresser. Taehyung ruffled through the blankets to slap his hand on his phone and turn off the alarm.

Sliding on his indoor slippers, the first thing he does is to change into a fresh pair of clothes before going for breakfast.

Contemplating on what shirt should go with his jean shorts, he finds a blue t-shirt that had a white strip on the collar to work with.

He made his way to the continental breakfast area, with a sign that leas the way when he made his way to the lobby in the pair of brown sandals that he changed into before walking out the door.

Grabbing a plate right by the entrance door, Taehyung looked at the basic options that was served. He ended up picking up a boiled egg, a piece of toast, a watermelon, and a instant coffee.

He scanned the room really only looking for one of the two people that he talked to too the most. Looking near the corner of the room, Jeongguk was sitting alone by the corner that had a wall of glass around him giving the view of the bright outdoors.

Taehyung casually strides towards Jeongguk dragging his heels behind him as he approached his table.

"Can I sit here?" He asked the male who was shoved a piece of bacon in his mouth. When the busy male looked up, he tore a piece of the bacon from his mouth and swallowed before replying.

"Go ahead." He motioned one hand to the empty seat that was in front of his.

Taehyung goes to put down his plate of food as he pulled out the chair that squeaked against the flooring. No one pays attention as he sits himself down and pulls his chair again forwards so that he's tucked in.

"What time did you wake up?" Taehyung asked while grabbing a salt shaker and adding some of its contents to his boiled egg.

"Around eight, you sleep in or something?" Jeongguk asked considering it was quarter to nine, leaving Taehyung with only fifteen minutes to eat.

"I don't eat much in the morning." He put simply, taking a bite out of the egg and drinking it with his coffee.

They were rather comfortable with each other, not mentioning the acts of yesterday. Even so, Taehyung was at ease in Jeongguk's presence, able to be natural with him no matter their affairs.

They're relationship was complex, it was more than just co-workers but they weren't one time things. It couldn't really be labeled friends with benefits because they barely know anything about each other to even consider themselves friends.

Taehyung didn't like thinking about what they were, instead he always went on about what they could be.

Feelings were confusing and from his talk with Sohyun he was only able to slowly understand what it mean't to truly have a crush on someone.

"Hey. Jeon. Question."

"Huh? What?" Jeongguk looked up from his plate and bit into his red apple.

Taehyung sipped his crappy cup of coffee. Putting it back down, he leant against the back of his chair.
"Have you ever had a crush?"

"Ha. You're funny did you forget already?" He chewed on his apple. "How could I have a crush on someone if I don't find romantic attraction in people?" He rolled his eyes at Taehyung's stupid question.

"Oh yeah right." Even being in that awkward position, asking Jeongguk that was like asking any other friend. It really didn't seem like a big deal to him to ask him.

"But then how does that work? Cause like you-"

"I know what you mean. I still like sex, just without the strings." Jeongguk neared the core of the apple, already seeing a black seed peak through the meat of the apple.

"Ouch." Taehyung rubbed his chest being slightly hurt by Jeongguk's statement but he knew what he was getting himself into.

"I told you, I don't do relationships." Jeongguk seemed so casual being able to talk about what they were or what it is they do like it's normal.

Taehyung noticed that the real Jeongguk is a very relaxed guy, he says and does whatever he wants and it never bothers him. He's confident with himself and his decisions.

"How many people have you done this with? Don't they get hurt?" Taehyung continued to question him like it was some ordinary conversation you'd have with a mate.

"Too personal. But someone always gets hurt and it's never me."

"Poor souls." He empathized for the mounts of people's heart he probably crushed. Taehyung knew well that he wasn't going to let himself be one of them. Instead, let the tables turn and get Jeongguk to taste his own medicine for once.

Maybe they were both the heartbreakers, but who'd be the victim this time?

                            🎬

Nine o'clock sharp they were all in the lobby. Taehyung met up with Sohyun and was giddy being able to be with her again. The more time they spent together the more he appreciated having her as his first celebrity friend.

They were all brought outside on a big lot of grass while their boss game them the instructions.

"Activity one, will help create a better bond between your colleagues. In groups of three, you'll hold hands and look at each other as you each give one compliment to your respective partners. Feel free after to say anything that comes to mind and open your heart to them. After that, you are to hug your group for two minutes, without letting go. This breaks the barrier of awkwardness to be relaxed in the presences of your new friends."

"Did you want Jeongguk to be in our group?" Sohyun said linking arms with Taehyung and looking over to Jeongguk who stood alone in his white button up and khakis shorts. Hands shoved into his pockets, the silver watch was exposed with diamond imbedded details shimmered in the sunlight.

"Yeah, I mean why not. He's alone."

"Jeongguk-ah! You! Come here!" Sohyun cupped her mouth as she yelled at the said male who turned his head and pointed towards his chest before strolling over them.

"Wanna join us?"

"Okay." With that being said by Jeongguk, Sohyun clasped her hand in Jeongguk and Taehyung's. The boys held onto her hand no problem, but the Taehyung held his hand out for Jeongguk to take and so the younger slide his hand on top of Taehyung's before intertwining their fingers together.

"I'll go first," Taehyung volunteered looking at Sohyun who was shorter than the other two males but not by much and smiled. "You have a contagious smile."

"Thank you," She scrunched her nose on purpose as he showed more of s toothy smile to Taehyung. "You have pretty eyes."

Taehyung nodded his head, "Why thank you." He then looked at Jeongguk who just stood their silent  as they exchanged compliments.

"Hmmm." Taehyung observed Jeongguk head to toe, before connecting eye contact. Jeongguk moved his head back as he buried his head in his neck creating a small double chin.

"I like your double chin." Taehyung bit his lip as a muffled laugh left his mouth.

"Gee thanks, I like your humour." Jeongguk retorted.

Jeongguk looked at Sohyun and turned his mouth on the side while thinking about something for her. "You have nice hair."

"Are you sure about that?" She side glanced her hair, thinking that it was getting frizzy in the humid weather.

"Yeah."

"Oh, then thanks." She wished she could pat down her hair but her hands were linked with the boys.

"I like your lips."

Both the boys looked at her funny wanting an explanation for her answer that was oddly peculiar.
"What? His lips are small and cute." Then whispered, "Good at kissing."

"Mmm." Taehyung hummed unconsciously nodding his head. Which made Jeongguk smirk at his two group mates.

"Thanks."

"Does anyone have something they would like to say?" Sohyun started the next portion of their activity they were supposed to do after the compliments.

"I think this is the dumb part of the retreat." Jeongguk started.

"I'm already comfortable with you guys if I'm honest." Taehyung felt his hands getting clammy as the day was getting hotter. So Taehyung kind of loosened his grip from them.

"I am too, but if Jeongguk would just open up a bit more we'd be set." Sohyun eyed Jeongguk who looked off to the distance.

"What do you guys wanna know? My favourite colour?" Jeongguk asked sarcastically laughing to himself.

"Yeah sure." Sohyun deadpanned.

"Red because the other colours I like are shades." Taehyung and Sohyun just listened to Jeongguk's explanation and felt like this little piece information they were told let them to know just a bit more about Jeongguk.

"Well, I'm a hopeless romantic that needs help. I'm constantly searching for love, but I really shouldn't be occupying my time with that." Sohyun spoke which Taehyung already knew a little about.

"Can't relate." Jeongguk laughed.

"What's so funny huh?" She raised her brows at the man.

"I don't want love."

Sohyun clenched her teeth showing them off as she sucked her her breath. "Opposites."

"What's the last thing we have to do?" Taehyung asked looking at Sohyun for the answers because she seemed to be the one who knew what they were doing.

"It's the hug!" She let go of all their hands and wiped them on her white skirt. "Y'all were sweating..." she commented.

"Because it's totally not summer and humid outside." Jeongguk's voice was dipped in sarcasm.

"Let's hug it out." Taehyung brought them together and they wrapped their arms around each other. Sohyun's arms around their waist while Taehyung and Jeongguk hugged the upper shoulders.

Their bodies were close together and Taehyung's was extremely close to Jeongguk's neck. When he had to breath he smelt in Jeongguk's scent which was just soap and clean, no other odour than that. Sohyun hugs them tighter as their waists were both on the petit side that her arms were long enough to wrap fully around both of them.

"Jeongguk your breath is tickling my ear." Sohyun confessed trying to move her head away but she couldn't.

"How do we know when this hug is over?" Jeongguk asked the very important question.

"Whose been counting?"

"I haven't..." Taehyung trailed off.

"Just hold it a bit longer than, it's probably been like thirty seconds at most." Sohyun shuffled in the hug.

"Who also is burning while hugging in this hot weather like we're huddling for warmth?" Taehyung asked moving slightly but his nose bumped into Jeongguk's cheek.

"Me. This would be great if there was a winter retreat." Sohyun muttered in between their arms.

"Stripped to shorts and t-shirts while huddling for warmth in winter, sounds like a recipe for pneumonia."

"Okay I think the hug is done now? Don't you think? I'm so hot." Taehyung said moving a lot.

"Yeah yeah we should be done." Sohyun slipped under from the boys and got out of the hug then Taehyung and Jeongguk let go of each other.

"That was the longest two minutes of my life." Sohyun said patting the sweat that was forming on her forehead. "I'm going in the building for AC."

"Let me join you!" Taehyung said as Sohyun already started walking into the building but then he heard Jeongguk's voice. "Wait, Taehyung."

"Huh?" Taehyung stopped and looked back at Jeongguk who was patting his pockets like a mad man, looking all over the grass.

"I can't find it."

"What are you even looking for?" Taehyung walked up to Jeongguk who put his hand in front of him.

"Stop! Be careful you might step on it!" Jeongguk crouched down and waddled as he was brushing the grass.

"I can't help if you don't tell me what it is. If you're fine I'm going inside." Taehyung turned his heel.

"Wait! Please help me look for it- it's a silver keychain." Jeongguk pleaded while looking up to Taehyung from the ground.

"Fine." Taehyung then got down to his knees and waddled down at the grass looking intently for this silver keychain.

"I don't get what's the deal about this keychain, aren't you like rich? Can't you get another one?" Taehyung groaned looking for a small item in the hot weather. For all he knows someone already stepped on it, or broke it. He doesn't know how fragile it is, plus most of their crew was still doing the activity.

"I bring it everywhere okay, now keep looking." Jeongguk demanded. Taehyung groaned and stood up placing his hands on his hips.

"This is usele-"

"I found it! Oh thank God!" Jeongguk grabbed it and Taehyung for a glimpse moment saw the dangling chain before Jeongguk shoved it into his pocket.

"It's that dinky thing? I thought it had some real diamonds on it or something."

Jeongguk sent daggers at Taehyung with just his stare and walked past Taehyung shoving into his shoulder.

Taehyung took a step back but regaining his balance. He rolled his eyes at the younger.

So much for team building.
