•Twenty-Six







"I still can't believe we're going to Hanok village." You sigh as you slam your suitcase close. "Did mom and dad really give you permission?"

Jimin lays on your bed with a mischievous smirk on his face. "Hell no, I just only said that so the guys won't be such babies."

You let out a gasp of horror and dramatically point at him. "Jimin, you're in so much trouble! You know how angry they'll be?? Especially dad?"

You both know how angry your dad could get. It terrified you, but Jimin? Not so much. He waves a hand in dismissal.

"Ah relax, Jisun. I got it all covered." He stretches before leaping off your bed. "Besides, he won't make such a huge fuss. I have a reason for what I'm doing, you know." You cross your arms while sticking your hip out.

"Oh really? Like what?"

Jimin stops at your doorway and glances over his shoulder. "It's for Jungkook," he answers. "I figured that since he's dealing with cancer then he should go to one of the most beautiful places in South Korea. It'll make him happy."

Your eyes widen slightly in surprise. It was for Jungkook. Jimin, your idiot brother, really had a heart of gold. He was always too caring for his own good.

And you? You weren't like him. If anything you didn't do anything for Jungkook. Not one thing.

Jimin gives you a teasing smile. "Looks like I'm doing your goal for you." Jimin walks out the room with a small chuckle.

You grit your teeth as you lower your head. He was right, you weren't doing anything for Jungkook. All you were doing was upsetting him.

"Come on, Jisun! Hurry up!" You hear Jimin call for you from the entryway. You heave a sigh and take your suitcase to the door. Jimin was oblivious to your demeanor and was texting on his phone.

"Okay, so apparently Namjoon rented a van for all of us." He mumbles. You nod slightly not really up to the trip anymore.

Jimin places his phone in his pocket before opening the door. "Got everything?" "Yeah." You exited your apartment and locked it behind you. Jimin made his way to the apartment next to yours and bangs on it loudly.

"Come on, Jungkook! We're waiting, you know!" He shouts. The door opens and Jungkook steps out with his suitcase in tow.

He wore a pair of skinny jeans and a white shirt. He looked ragged like he didn't sleep the night before. Jimin jumps happily, "Okay, let's go!"

You and Jungkook sigh as you follow your overexcited brother. You two walk side by side but still weren't on speaking terms. Jungkook glances at you and notices the frown on your lips.

He wondered if something happened. His heart suddenly ached, and he wanted nothing more than to hold you and make that frown disappear. But he made no move to comfort you.

Instead he picked up his pace and walked next to Jimin. You felt a sharp pain shoot through you. Like someone stabbed a long sword through your body. He couldn't even walk next to you.

You bit your lip to hold back your tears. Why was he acting like this?

He was driving you up the wall and you wanted to slap him back his senses. You wanted to slap yourself. Maybe he realized how much of a heartless jerk you are.

When you make it out of the building you see the guys standing out of the van. Hoseok was attempting to take pictures with Yoongi but he was pushing Hoseok away. Jin had a notepad in his hands seemingly checking off the stuff they had for the trip.

You look around in puzzlement. "Where's Namjoon?" You ask.

Jin points to the van, "Waiting. He's too excited for this trip."

"Who wouldn't? We get to see the Park family's mansion."

You whip your head to the voice and your eyes widen in surprise. Taehyung steps into view with his rectangular smile evident. "Taehyung! What are you doing here?" You ask with a small smile.

"Coming along obviously. I'm not going to miss out on this opportunity, you know." You smile happily and make your way to him. He wraps his arms around you and gives you a tight hug.

"Besides, I get to see you," he smiles. You scoff while playfully hitting his arm. He chuckles and takes your suitcase.

"I'll put this in the trunk." He gestures to Jungkook and Jimin. "Yours too." They give him theirs and he stuffs them in the back.

Jin claps his hands loudly, "Alright does anyone need a bathroom break?"

"No, mom we're fine." Yoongi mutters. Jin glares at him, "I was just double-checking."

Namjoon suddenly honks the horn making you all jump. "Hurry up! We're going to loose daylight!" He shouts.

"Oh my god, it's fine," Jimin laughs and gets in. Everyone follows his lead until you were the last one. You climb into the van and quickly glance at Jungkook.

You want to sit next to him but see Jimin already beat you to it.
Jungkook had his arms crossed with his eyes fixated out the window. You frown, looks like you won't be talking to him during the drive.

You felt a small nudge on your lower back. "Sit in the back with me," Taehyung says. You nod and headed for the back seat. You settle in your seat with a small sigh.

Namjoon turns on the engine, "Hanok village here we come!" He exclaims and starts to drive. Your friends began to talk excitedly amongst themselves while you watch the buildings blur by.

They slowly begin to fade and turned into forest of trees. Cars zoomed by with such speed. The sun began to set making the clouds turn into a light pinkish color. The scenery seemed so beautiful, peaceful even.

But inside you didn't feel at peace. Not when you couldn't stop thinking about Jungkook. You turn your head and stare at the back of Jungkook's head. He leaned his head against the window making you wonder if he was already asleep.

You glance to your right and see Taehyung playing some type of game on his phone. You scoot closer to him and lay your head on his shoulder.

"H-hey," he lets out in a startled tone. "Sorry," you mumble but didn't pull away. Noticing your frown Taehyung frowns as well.

"You okay?" He asks in a whisper. You shake your head causing him to sigh. "Want to talk about it?"

You shake your head once more. Taehyung's frown increases with his heart aching. It always dampens his day when he sees you upset.

He wished you could tell him why you felt such a way. Then may be he could help you. He clasps his hand into yours and gives it a tiny squeeze.

"I'm here, you know," he whispers. You snuggle closer and squeeze his hand back.

"I know," you mumble feeling your eyelids becoming heavy. You close your eyes with your body finally feeling at ease.

"I know."

He couldn't take it anymore. He had to. He had to look. Jungkook gripped the handle on the van door with all his strength.

It has been about an hour and a half through the two hour drive and not once has he glanced behind him. But it was driving him insane, he couldn't refrain himself any longer.

When he saw you and Taehyung get in the back seat it boiled his blood. It was like his whole body was on fire. He just couldn't stand seeing you two together. It wasn't right.

Jungkook sucked in a breath and slowly turns his head. A small gasp of shock escapes his mouth with his eyes widening at the sight. You were asleep with your head on Taehyung's shoulder with your hand intertwined with his.

Taehyung who was still awake stared at your sleeping form with a soft smile plastered on his face. He watches you with such gentleness in his eyes, something he didn't show in the past. He caresses your cheek and moves a strand of hair behind your ear.

Jungkook watches in anger with his heart rate increasing. He hated this. He hated Taehyung, hated him with a passion. He didn't realize how deep his hate ran for him until he witnessed Taehyung kissing your forehead.

Jungkook automatically slams a fist on the car door, startling Jimin out of his nap. "The hell man?!" Jimin says crankily. Jungkook snaps his attention to him and blinks.

Jimin rubs his head, "I was sleeping, dude." He mutters.

Jungkook mumbles an apology before looking out the window. His chest rises and falls in an alarming rate. His face redden in anger.

Why didn't you sit next to him instead? Why did it have to be Taehyung? He could've pushed Jimin to the side for you.

He could've let you lay on his comfortable shoulder unlike Taehyung's broad, bony one.

Jungkook's frown increases but with his anger disappearing slightly. What was the point anyway? Why was he making this such a big a deal?

Even if he were to do all that you would still see him as a friend.

"Aah, it's great to be back." Jimin sighs as he steps out the van.

He breathes in the crisp, night air letting the cold air welcome his lungs. It was slightly chiller up here in the hill country than it was down by the coast. But nevertheless he still enjoyed it.

Everyone steps out as well, glad the two hour drive was over. But they seemed a bit worried. Namjoon looks around in puzzlement.

Streetlights lit up the rocky road, there was nothing in sight. Except for a small village down the hill. "Where are we exactly?" He asks. "This doesn't seem like your house."

Namjoon looks down at the map on his phone. "Did you give me the wrong address?"

Jimin opens the trunk and pulls out all the suitcases. "No, it's the right one," he answers.

Everyone looked around warily and stayed close to the van. Jimin had to be lying. They were in the middle of nowhere with no house in sight. How could this be it?

You trudge out of the van still half-asleep. You take your suitcase and walk down the rocky path. "Jisun, don't go off on your own!" Taehyung shouts before getting his suitcase and running after you.

"It's not safe when it's this--Wow!"

Before them was a mansion built traditional style. A grey stone, seven feet wall surrounded the place. Tall wooden gate stood between them and the house. The roof was made of dark, grey stone shingles.

Bright yard lights lit up a path that led to the home as well as the insides of the home. The home itself was only one story but from looks of how the stone walls stretched left and right Taehyung knew better than to think it was small home.

Jimin runs to the front of the gates and spreads his arms wide above him. "Welcome to the Park family's vacation home!" He exclaims with a grin.

Everyone stares in shock with mouths wide open. "Holy crap, Jimin this is humongous!" Hoseok breathes.

Jimin laughs sheepishly, "I guess you can say that. I mean, it's just a house."

You sigh, "Move, Jimin I want to sleep." You trudge through the gates and walk through the small garden. Small trees, bushes, and rocks surrounded the small pond in the middle.

A couple of lily pads were lit up cascading a warm light on to the watery surface. You hear your friends gasp and whistle in awe behind you.

"There's seven rooms so two of you need to share one," you inform.

"That'll be us!" Jin shouts as he grasps Namjoon's arm causing him to chuckle.

"The other ones are inside over here on the right." You walk to the main house and shake off your shoes before walking on the wooden patio. You led your friends down a hall with many doors on your left and right.

"You can pick any of the rooms here except for the last one on the left."

"Why?" Hoseok asks.

"Because that's Jisun's room." Jimin answers and abruptly stops walking causing his friends to stumble behind him. He turns to face them his demeanor going dark.

"And if any of you try to sneak in there and sleep with her then you're dead." He growls with his eyes locked on Taehyung.

He gulps nervously with his hands raised in defense. "W-why are you looking at me? I'm not going to do anything! He exclaims.

Jimin's glare darkens, "You better not or else I'll shove a pillow down your esophagus."

Taehyung held his glare nervously until Jimin blinks with his smile returning. "Now, pick any room you want. I don't mind."

As everyone walks into the room of their choosing Jungkook watches you trudge into yours closing the door gently behind you. He presses his lip into a thin line and drags his suitcase to the room across from yours.

Before he could open his own he glances behind him. He lets out a sigh, he truly wondered if you were okay. If not, what could he do to make all that sadness go away?

Jungkook hears a loud cough and turns away from your door. He sees Jin standing a couple feet away from him with a serious expression. Jin shoves his hands into his pockets.

"We need to talk."
