#1: Car Ride

"Next time I'm driving!"

"What is wrong with my driving?"

"You want me to write the list out?"

"Shut up."

"Oh my god both of you stop bickering...jesus you'd think you were a married couple, not brothers." Yoongi groaned.

I laughed, pulling my legs up into my seat and leaning against the door. I hated long car rides but the laughter was making me feel much better. I tilted my head and looked over to Namjoon who was gripping the steering wheel so hard I thought he would pull it from its place.

"Jin, you need to leave Namjoon alone." I laughed turning to face my appalled brother. "He's driving just fine."

Just as I finished my sentence, he stomped on the break avoiding crashing into the car in front of us. We all jerked forward, and when we all sat back Jin scoffed. "I will never get in a vehicle again with him driving."

"I'm sorry, they stopped suddenly!" Namjoon defended himself.

"Baby you just ignore Jin hyung, I think your driving is great." Yoongi said, leaning forward and rubbing on Namjooon's shoulders from behind his seat.

"Thank you, baby." Namjoon smiled through the rear veiw mirror.

"I hope you know he is only saying that because you let him fuck you. He is lying." Jin said with a sharp tongue.

"Jin!" I scolded turning around to face him better.

"What?"

"Leave our litte brother alone!" I laughed.

"I don't want to die!"

"Go to sleep, like Hoseok." I pointed, referring to the man sleeping all the way in the back. "He doesn't look stressed at all."

"He doesn't know the danger he's in." He replied narrowing his eyes at me.

Yoongi, myself, and even Namjoon laughed, making Jin grin as well and lean back in his seat.

"How does he sleep so hard?" Yoongi asked. "I've been best friends with him for years and I wish I could sleep like that."

"It's a bitch getting him up." Jin said. "He's lucky he's so fucking sexy or I would have left his ass by now exhausted trying to wake him up for work."

I laughed and turned to face front again. "You will never leave Hobi and you know it." I teased.

"Not the point."

I chuckled again letting out a sigh. I loved these boys. Jin and Namjoon, though currently bickering, were best friends. They have been close since we were kids. Unfortunately, Namjoon didn't really get to know our mother. She died about 2 years after he was born from ovarian cancer.

Our father raised us, and since my brothers had each other, I had my dad.

He was the most important person to me. He was the person I would run to with a broken heart, he was the one I asked advice from, and he was the one I wanted to tell my day about. He supported me in all my endeavors and I know that not everyone can say that about their parents. He was supportive of anything Jin or Namjoon wanted to do, and was always there when we needed him. He is the best man I have ever known and I love him with all my heart. I was very sad when it got to the point he could no longer travel. He always loved our family reunions, and has been unable to attend the last few.

That's where we were on our way to. Our annual family reunion.

For the record, none of us liked going. Not even when we were little. But we promised our father that we would go every year even if he couldn't.

Jin, Namjoon and I hated our relatives. The only one we look forward to seeing is Taehyung and that's because his dad was our father's brother. Uncle Lee was funny and charmingly handsome; traits he had passed onto his son. Tae was younger than us but we never really noticed that when he was around. He lived too far away for frequent visits but his family would come to our house for the holidays. When he started college that kind of stopped so it will be good to see him again.

Namjoon and Yoongi started dating just before the last family reunion. Yoongi was invited to go with us and had met Taehyung as well. They got along perfectly so it was a shame that we didn't get to see him more often.

Jin and Hoseok started dating just shortly after last year's reunion. So this will be his first time coming with us and he was excited. More so because he was excited to get away from his sister who he lived with. Don't get me wrong, I like her a lot. But Hoseok needed to get his own space before she killed him.

"I need y'all to promise me something." I said getting everyone (but Hobi's) attention. "Avoid Minah at all costs. Seriously."

"Is that the girl who thought I was straight?" Yoong asked.

I laughted and Namjoon smirked. "Yes." I replied. "I forgot about that."

"Oh I haven't." Namjoon said. "I have been thinking about it the whole trip so far. I cannot wait until she sees him with me. She made a bitchy comment to me when we left last year that he was too good for me and I want her to eat her words."

"Yeah...I wouldn't have touched her even if she did have a penis." Yoongi said crinkling his nose.

Jin laughed. "I just remember the face she made when she found out that Namjoon was gay."

"I thought they knew." Namjoon interrupted.

"She went on to complain to her mother about how she thought you were lying. Remember?" I laughed. "She said it was rude for us to try to keep her way from Yoongi by lying about his sexuality, that I was insulting."

"Pretty sure the kiss Namjoon planted on me in front of the entire family cleared that right up."

Namjoon turned to smirk at him just for a moment. "She wanted proof. So, I gave it to her."

"Yeah because the loud moans that came from the room you shared wasn't proof enough." I scolded. "Your room was right next to hers, across from mine, and I could hear you. I can't imagine what she heard."

"Please don't tell me we are going to be in a hotel again." Jin said. "I thought we rented out a house for the 10 days we are going to be there. I need to cook; I refuse to eat take out for that long."

"I got us an Air BnB, Jin. Don't worry. It has 4 rooms so you and Hoseok will share a room, Yoongi and Joon will have one, I will have one, and Tae will have one."

"Tae?" Yoongi asked his eyes sparkling. "Your hot cousin?"

"What?" Namjoon asked, a little growl to his tone.

"I'm sorry." Yoongi replied. "I meant, your ridiculously sexy cousin who is a damn privilege to look at?"

Jin and I started laughing as Namjoon glared at the road in front of him, his hands tightening on the wheel again. "I swear to god hyung, I will hurt you."

"As long as Taehyung is there to save me, then fine." He teased

"Yoongi..." he warned.

"I'm kidding." He said rolling his eyes and putting his hands on his shoulders again. "But come on, he is damn good looking."

Namjoon relaxed at his touch and let out a breath. "I guess."

"He's bringing his boyfriend." Jin said.

"I didn't know he had a boyfriend." I said.

"Yeah, they started dating about 8 months ago, I think his name is Jungkook?"

"Oh! I did know that." I said, remembering the text Tae send me a few months back. "He was asking me about graduation stuff. I guess he just finished school and is now looking for work. It will be nice to meet him! We have never met a boyfriend of his before."

"I bet the boyfriend is sexy too." Yoongi commented. "At least he better be, taking Taehyung off the market."

I laughed and Namjoon slapped his hand that was resting on his shoulder making Yoongi jerk it back and hold it on his chest. "Ow!"

"Stop saying shit like that." He said with a laugh. "Seriously, before I punish you."

Yoongi's eyes darkened and he smirked. "Maybe that's the point."

"For the love of God stop." Jin groaned throwing his hands over his face. "I refuse to listen to your daddy and baby-boy play."

"Who is the baby-boy?" I asked, trying to tease Jin.

"Depends on the day." Yoongi replied wiggling his eye brows.

Namjoon nodded and cleared his throat. "I just want to stay far away from Minah's mother as possible."

"Aunt Mae?" I asked, and he nodded. "Agreed." I said letting out a deep breath.

"What's wrong with Aunt Mae?"

"Aunt Mae thinks she's better than everyone else, and that everyone wants to hear her opinion about everything. In reality, most of our family can't stand her, or her daughter. They are the worst kind of people. They came into money after her husband died, and they are pretty much set for life. Minah has a part time job and so does her mom, and they make sure everyone knows they do it because they want to and not because they have to." I said rolling my eyes.

"How is she related to the family?" Yoongi asked.

"She's our father's sister." Jin said, his voice low. He hated her more than even Namjoon and I did. "She is the worst kind of woman."

"Why do I have a feeling there is more to why we don't like her?"

"She openly voiced her distaste for our mother." Namjoon answered. "She's the one that told our father that he should leave her when she got sick. That he doesn't need that kind of stress and that he could easily divorce her and gain full custody of Jin, Noona and I."

"What a miserable bitch." Yoongi's expression was one of horror, and he only got a scrape of the surface to what kind of horrible woman she was. "How is that possibly your dad's sister?"

"My theory is that she is the spawn of Satan and when she was born he refused to take her." Jin said. "I'm just so glad that dad and Uncle Lee are good men, and that kind of female presence didn't alter their personalities."

"Aunt Mae particularly has it out for Noona." Namjoon commented glancing over at me.

"Why?"

"My theory is that Minah and I are the only females of all the cousins. She really wanted me to take Minah under my wing like a little sister, but ever since we were kids that brat pissed me off. I never wanted to be around her and she would constantly tattle on me to her mom telling her I was being mean, when in reality, I was just avoiding her. Eventually the three of us grew really close with Taehyung specifically and she took it personally."

"You are really the only female cousins?"

"Yep." I said. "So there is our dad, Uncle Lee, Uncle Seok, and Aunt Mae. Uncle Lee just had Taehyung, his wife was unable to conceive after his birth. She left when Tae was 3. She had issues but still writes to him. Aunt Mae had Minah, Jaebum, and Yugeom. Uncle Seok's kids are Jackson, Mark, Kai, and Suho. They were all adopted so there is no blood relation with us. Uncle Seok died a long time ago, when we were still in high school. They are a very close family and their dad, Uncle Seok's widower, is always working. His job is super demanding so he can't get away for a long time. He may be at the reunion for the big dinner at the end if the week but not the whole time."

"Will his kids?"

"Yeah." Jin said. "They always stay the whole time, they are close with Minah."

"Does that mean we don't like them?"

"Not really." I said. "I actually don't have a problem with any of them, we just aren't close."

"Jackson isn't bad." Namjoon added. "I talk to him a lot but I am for sure closer with Taehyung."

"What about the other two?"

"Jaebum is tolerable." Namjoon answered. "He's just quiet. But as for Yugeom, he just kind of keeps to himself. I don't know him very well and he focuses a lot on dancing, so he practices all the time."

"So we really only have a problem with Minah and her mother." I continued. "Maybe it's a woman thing."

Jin scoffed. "You aren't like that."

"True, but that's because I have the best brothers in the world." I cheesed pinching both of their cheeks. Namjoon laughed but Jin swatted my hand away making me laugh.

"Speaking of that, I think we are here." Namjoon said pulling into a driveway of the house I recognized from online. It was on the other side of the beach that the rest of the family would be at, and it was a long drive from the house to the hotel. I didn't tell anyone I was renting out a house for us, other than Taehyung. I didn't want to run into Minah or Aunt Mae if I could avoid it.

"Dibs on first pick of bedroom!" I shouted.

"As always." Jin smiled.

Namjoon parked the car and I jumped out rounding to the back to get my bag. This was going to be a long 10 days, and I wanted to be sure that I was comfortable.

Especially since I know this year will be particularly annoying and stressful. I could already hear the comments coming at me.

This couldn't end soon enough.
