CHAPTER 18
"Everyone ready?" Jin asked around "Did you bring everything you'll need for the trip?".
"Jungkooki-ah did you bring the coal?".
"In here" Jungkook lifted the bag in his hand as he loaded the last pair of bags in the RV.
"Good. Namjoon-ah!" Jin turned around to find him as the three bags and the backpack that he had on dangled around him "Do you have the keys of the RVs?".
"In here, hyung" Namjoon opened his fanny pack.
"Who's got the beef and who's got the pork meat for tonight?".
"I do, Jin" Taehyung walked right past him with a pair of grocery bags in his hands.
"You got them both?".
"I got them both".
"Honey stop. We have everything under control" Jisoo approached him.
"Good" he smiled at her "Has anyone seen Jimin?!" he then yelled at the bunch ignoring Jisoo.
"I'm here!" Jimin arrived a couple of minutes late; he was sure he'd never hear the end of it.
"It took you long enough" Jin scolded him "Where are your bags?".
"Already loaded hyung".
Jin gave him the side-eye "Go and check again. Don't you dare tell us after to go back because you've left them at the parking lot like the last time!".
Jimin looked at him bewildered but non the less went and checked again, passing near Hoseok in the process.
"Why the hell are you wearing that? You look ridiculous" Jimin pointed at the mosquito net-hat on Hoseok's head.
"I'm allergic to mosquito bites" Hoseok answered as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
"No you're not".
"Fine, I have delicate skin. Can't be bothered with bug bites" Hoseok lifted his chin.
"We're still in the city" Jungkook added as he passed by them.
"He's right you know? Take it off" Jimin reached for Hoseok's hat but he dodged him.
"I'm not going to take it off" Hoseok talked back "Back off" he said as Jimin tried to reach it once more.
"Don't be a dumbass. It will be hours before we reach the forest. Take it off".
"No" Hoseok said before walking away.
"Where's Yoongi? Has anyone seen Yoongi?!" Jin continued to shout.
"He's already inside. Working on his laptop" Namjoon stood by him with his hands on his hips.
"That man works too much" Jin shook his head "Hope he'll leave it for another day and enjoy his birthday trip" Jin sighed.
"Okay" Namjoon clapped his hands, grabbing everyone's attention.
"We'll travel in two groups. A group of four and a group of five" Jin cleared his throat.
"Jisoo, Y/n, Taehyung and I will be in the second RV. Namjoon, Yoongi, Jimin, Hoseok and Jungkook in the first one. Everyone got it? Okay let's go people" Jin rubbed his hands.
"Wait!" Jimin shouted.
"What now?" Jin rolled his eyes.
"Why are we divided like that?".
"For the love of God. Does it matter?" Hoseok whined.
"Because we" Jin pointed at the four of you "are a pair of twos and Jisoo and Y/n are the only girls".
"But I wanted to be in that camper as well" Jimin pouted.
"Jimin-ssi, stop wasting time. Please" Jungkook rubbed his forehead.
"Just get in the van" Namjoon hurried him.
"Alright, fine. Jesus" Jimin entered in the RV after Jungkook, followed by Namjoon.
"Have a nice trip everyone" Jin shouted before entering in the RV.
You entered shortly before Jin, with Taehyung and Jisoo.
The RV was spacious and well distributed. The inside looked just as nice as the outside, even better you thought; it had everything you needed for the short trip and more.
It had enough space for the four of you; two fully separated rooms, a luxurious shower, a new, marble shiny kitchen, wooden floors and the latest technology installed. You smiled.
The last bit must've been Jungkook's request you thought.
"You like it?" Taehyung asked you once you've returned from the tour around the RV.
"Very much" you smiled.
"I'm glad" Taehyung wrapped his arms around your waist, bringing you in for a kiss.
Since the night you two talked everything seemed getting for the better.
Taehyung and you were a bit better. You were working on it.
You guys knew you loved each other and that was everything that mattered; you were determined to work your issues out.
You intertwined your fingers around his neck as you kissed him back.
Communication wasn't the only thing that was an issue; your sex life was also suffering.
In the last month or so you've barely had sex once and that was the night you guys made up.
You were starting to feel withdrawal symptoms, feeling hornier than ever.
You sighed while kissing him as you brought your bodies closer together, slightly rubbing your breast on his chest.
"What are you doing?" Taehyung parted slightly from you.
"I want you to make love to me tonight Taehyung" you breathed out on his lips.
"And I would love that very much but we can't. Not with Jisoo and Jin in here too" he said before parting away from you.
He kissed you on your head before sitting at the driver's seat with Jin by his side.
You watched him get ready to start the engine before sighing and walking away.
You took a seat by the table, across from Jisoo.
You took out from your bag a book that Namjoon had recommended to you a couple of weeks earlier.
"Why do we have these, Jin?" you heard Hoseok's voice through the walkie-talkie resting between Taehyung and Jin.
"To communicate of course" Jin scoffed as he answered.
"I don't want to hear his annoying voice even during our trip" you heard Jimin complaining on the other side of the line.
"Hey Jimin-ah! I can hear you" Jin said dumbfounded.
"...Sorry Jin" Jimin's voice became smaller as he apologized, making you giggle.
"Hyung, should we go?" Jungkook asked on the walkie-talkie; he was driving the other RV.
" Yes, let's go" Jin confirmed.
You felt the vehicle move as you began reading your book, ready to get lost in words.
"Jin" you heard Jimin's voice again through the walkie-talkie.
You could almost sense Jin's soul leaving his body as he heard Jimin's voice for the hundredth time in those couple of hours you were on the road.
"What?" Jin yanked the walkie-talkie.
"Could...could we make a quick stop at the gas station? I need to buy more snacks"
"You little..."
"Actually, honey?" Jisoo interrupted him "I wouldn't mind a quick stop. Just to stretch our legs and grub a cup of coffee".
"I wouldn't mind it either" you added from the seat across from Jisoo.
"Fine" Jin sighed in the walkie-talkie.
"But just a quick stop. And make sure we don't leave Hobi behind once again" Jin giggled.
"If you do that I swear I'll never speak to any of you ever again" Hoseok's voice echoed through the device making Taehyung laugh.
"What? They actually left him behind?" you furrowed your brows while asking Jisoo.
"Yeah..." she chuckled "It's a long story".
After hours of driving through the country, you've finally arrived at the camping site.
The chilly winds made you shiver once you've stepped out of the RV.
The scenery was beautiful; the immense lake expanded in front of you as thousands of trees grew on the hills surrounding it.
It was truly beautiful. The only problem was that it was cold, so freaking cold.
"Oh no one is here, we're the only one" Hoseok said as he exited the vehicle "wonder why that is?".
"Maybe because it's freezing cold" Jungkook said.
"I think we're the only idiots in South Korea who went camping in March" Yoongi added while sinking in more in his long parka.
"Whose idea was it again?" Jungkook flicked his tongue against his teeth.
"Namjoon's" Jimin said.
"It was mine idea but everyone agreed to it" Namjoon pointed out.
"Oh so what? It will be fun you guys" Jisoo said excitedly as everyone gave her the side-eye.
"Stop being such pussies" she said when she noticed the way they were looking at her "Now" she rubbed her hands together "What are we going to do now?" she asked with a bright smile on her face.
"I'm going to take a nap" Taehyung pointed at the RV "Been driving for hours since this morning".
He went inside as everyone else continued to talk.
"Who's going to make us lunch?" Hoseok asked.
"Do you need to ask that? Of course Jin will cook for us" Jimin answered.
"Don't know. Kind of want to see Namjoon burning the frying pan again" Jin laughed.
Namjoon in response gave him the side-eye " I think I'm going to read a book instead" he replied.
"And I think I'm going to take a walk through the woods" a warm mist of air left your lips as you shivered.
Yes, it was very cold but you liked the fresh air circling around. You wanted to take in more of it as you walked in between trees.
"I'm going to help you prepare us the meal" Jisoo said to Jin.
"I'm going to help as well" Yoongi added.
"Now will you take the stupid hat off? There are no bugs. They're probably still hibernating" Jimin took off Hoseok's hat.
You heard them continuing to bicker as you walked away to the forest.
"Y/n wait for me! I'm coming with you" Jungkook's voice reached you.
You stopped and waited for him.
"How was the trip for you guys?" you asked as you two walked together.
"Oh you know how things are with Jimin and Hobi" Jungkook chuckled "Hardly any minute passes by without hearing something...interesting" he laughed softly.
"Don't need to tell me that" you said smiling.
"How was it for you guys? Did you like the RV?" Jungkook's eyes sparkled making you giggle.
"What?"
"I knew the RVs were your pick" you said "only you could be that amused by a fancy control panel" you teased him.
Jungkook smiled.
"But did you see what it can do? It has voice commands as well. I already set up my voice as the only one it can respond to" Jungkook's whole face lit up, making you laugh.
"So...so easily amused".
Jungkook smiled before pushing you slightly to the side.
"Stop making fun of me...or else"
"Or else what?" you lifted your eyebrow "what are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet" Jungkook chuckled as he looked in front of him "You know I have a soft spot for you" he smiled as he looked at you again.
"That's sweet" you admitted "But I still hate you".
"No you don't".
"No I don't".
"You know, you now kind of have to admit that you have a soft spot for me too" he shrugged his shoulders while walking beside you.
"You know I'll never admit that" you scoffed entertained as you looked at him.
"Oh come on" Jungkook whined jokingly "I know you do" he winked at you.
"Fine" you rolled your eyes at him "I guess I have a soft spot for you too. You juvenile dipshit" you lightly pushed him.
"There you go" Jungkook gave you a sincere smile "Would've been better without the name calling but I'll take it" he said making you laugh.
"Fine. No more name calling...Kookie".
Jungkook's face brightened up as he tried to hide a smile forming on his lips.
He liked the fact that you were calling him by a nickname; it was adorable and he felt instantly disgusted by himself once he thought that. It was something he'd never tell you. He would take that to the grave.
"Stop calling me that too".
"No".
"What do you mean no?".
"I know you like it Jeon Jungkook" you smirked at him "stop pretending that you don't".
You saw Jungkook's cheeks tint in a light pink color.
"Kookie you're so cute when you blush" you giggled.
"Stop" Jungkook laughed as he looked at the ground, suddenly feeling overwhelmed.
"You're even cuter when those little dimples of yours appear" you pointed at his pinkish face.
"You should smile more often you know? Drop the whole narcissistic, playboy dickhead façade you've got going on and behave normally".
"Oh but I am a narcissistic playboy" Jungkook smirked once he'd recomposed himself.
"Girls like it" he licked his bottom lip.
"I don't know what kind of girls you've been seeing lately but I assure you that we don't" you said.
Somehow you wanted to know if he'd been seeing someone lately, you were just curious.
"I can assure you that they do. It never failed...well" Jungkook tilted his head "It did fail once".
"Oh so you did actually get rejected?" you lifted your brow.
"Yes. Once".
"Really? By whom?".
"You" Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.
Suddenly, a tight grip formed around your heart, making it difficult for you to breathe.
You had just realized that you've both stopped walking; you were facing each other, he was looking at you with a strange expression.
"Oh come on" you tried to ease the tension that had just formed "I can't be the only one. Besides..." you made a small pause "I've never rejected you. You've never made an actual move on me".
"What do you mean?" Jungkook laughed in disbelief "I think my intentions were pretty clear when I met you".
"Yes but you've never made an actual move on me" you pointed out " Not saying that I would've fallen for you if you did though. As you know, I found your behavior childish and off-putting".
"That hurts" Jungkook chuckled.
"I told you" you shrugged your shoulders "I don't like that kind of behavior. It wouldn't've never worked on me ".
"But if I'd behaved differently maybe..." Jungkook stopped midsentence.
"We'll never know" you said as you continued to walk. You were in the open, up in the hills and yet somehow you felt you needed more air.
You wanted to escape from that conversation, you wanted to escape from him.
Jungkook followed you and walked by you in silence.
You walked like that for a couple of minutes until you reached a tree in front of you; it had a single flower on it.
"Look" you made Jungkook lift his gaze up.
"It's an early bloomer" Jungkook said.
"Want to pick it up so that we could bring it back to the others?" you asked him.
"And how on earth would we reach it?".
"Here" you circled around him.
"What are you doing?" he watched you go behind him.
"You're going to lift me up".
"What?".
"Just shut up and crouch" you shut him up "Let me sit on your shoulders" you tapped his shoulder.
"What?" Jungkook repeated confused.
"What's the matter big guy? Afraid you can't lift me up?" you smirked.
"Please" Jungkook scoffed "I can pick you up easily".
"Great then do it. Let me climb on top of you".
Jungkook let you sit on his shoulders as he lifted you up; you held onto his hair, making him hiss in pain.
"Jesus Y/n" Jungkook muttered as he balanced both of your weights. The uneven terrain made it difficult for him to stand still.
"Stop moving" you scolded him as you stretched your body to reach the flower. Your fingers could barely touch the branch.
"This is ridiculous" Jungkook scoffed as he held you tightly by your thighs "Hurry up".
"I can't reach it" you scoffed "Could you stretch a bit? Or lift me up more?".
"No please, just say what do you need and I'd obey without batting an eye" a sarcastic comment left his lips.
Jungkook stumbled, making you hold tighter on his hair.
"Stop wiggling. And stop pulling my hair!" Jungkook scolded you.
"Just lift me up a bit" you kicked him with your foot on his chest.
Jungkook snorted before grabbing you by your butt, lifting you up with his hands by an inch or so.
"This isn't the way I imagined I'd touch your butt for the first time when we met" Jungkook chuckled as he struggled to hold your weight above his head.
"Stop groping me around" you complained.
"Listen. You wanted me to lift you higher. I am doing that now so hurry the fuck up and pluck that goddamn flower" Jungkook's arms trembled.
"If you let me fall Jeon Jungkook I swear to God you'll never hear the end of it" you warned him as you finally reached the flower.
"What on earth are you two idiots doing?" Hoseok reached you. "I've been searching for you two for a while now. Come back so that we can all eat together" he said before turning around.
"Got it!" you screamed as you threw your hands in the air. In doing so you shifted your weight back, making Jungkook loose his balance. He quickly let you fall in front of him before catching you with his arms as you both fell on the ground. The impact with the ground made both of you grunt in pain as you lay in his arms.
You began to giggle once your eyes met his. His expression softened as he began to laugh with you as well.
You both lay on the ground as you laughed out loud.
"You better hold onto that fucking flower forever" Jungkook threatened you.
"What? I'm not going to keep it" you snorted, making Jungkook lift his head while looking at you, his forehead furrowed.
"I'm going to give it to Jimin" you pocked his cheek with the flower stem.
"Jesus Christ" Jungkook threw his head back on the ground while rolling his eyes.
"You two have attachment issues"
