"I just want to get rid of you, m'sick of living with you, can't you stop slutting around with my colleagues!"

The ten years old Jungkook flinched at his father's harsh voice. He hugged his knees closer to his chest, whimpering to himself. He's safe, for now. Hiding under the table of his room. He heard his Nanna's voice, scolding his drunk father who wasn't in his own control.

"I'm not even fond of living with you, fucking cheater! If you can do it then why can't I?"

He hate those yelling and shouting of his father and mother. He covered his ears while tears slowly rolls down through his cheeks. He shuts his eyes tightly and covered his ears in order to block the noise but suddenly all of it came to halt. Everything went silent.

Jungkook uncovered his ears, sniffling, looking around him. His eyes widen when he observed that he wasn't in his room. He was in the middle of jungle. The sun peeks through the trees lighting up the paradise of greenery.

What.

"Where am–" A gasp escaped out of those pink lips when his gaze met with a male. The roaring of waterfall in the middle of jungle rung through his ears.

The strokes of sunlight cascades down over the male's honey tan exposed chest while his head was tilted back with arms spread upon the rocks. His half of the body was submerged under the water.

Jungkook blinked several times, his mouth agape, not believing in his eyes.

"Taehyung..."

His voice was almost inaudible yet it cause the male to tilted up his head. What's he doing here?

He could see those water droplets which were dipping down from the male's hair before he ran his slender fingers through his wet hair, exposing his forehead, eyes staring at him lazily.

"Princess,"

Jungkook's heart might skip a beat when he heard that deep and husky yet the softest voice. It was so relaxing and thats all he needed right now.

"You look so tired, princess. Come here."

Jungkook again blinked his misty eyelashes before he stood up and began to walking into the pond which was formed by the waterfall stream. It felt like his body was moving forward on its own.

He peered down at water – the water so clear that he could see his feet which made him smile but when he looked up, Taehyung wasn't there anymore – he disappeared.

"Sung-ho, just shut your filthy mouth!!"

Jungkook turns back when he heard his mother's voice – eyes widen as he saw his mother and father fighting and it looks so disturbing to his mental health.

"Please, don't do this." Jungkook uttered breathlessly. He was so tired all of these – tears swelling up...

"Focus on me, princess, yea?"

He snapped back his head when he heard him again. Bambi eyes stared into the pair of golden orbs – which reminds him of warmth in a cold winter day.

"T-They-"

"I know." The male, Taehyung, whispered. "You're alright, now, with me."

Jungkook clenched his fists tightly – crying. Letting out everything that he'd been holding. He felt a hand over his nape before a set of lip pressed against his cheekbone. He sniffled, staring at those eyes through his misty eyelashes.

"Such a baby, aren't you?"

Jungkook blinked those eyes – big doey eyes widen when Taehyung pressed their lips together and it feels so real. The warm pair of lip perfectly slotted against his cold one – warming up his whole body.

Before he could comprehend all of these – lips detached from his lips and attached against his neck.

"You're fine with me."

Those were the last words before he snapped open his eyes – getting out of the deep slumber. He panted looking around him, he found himself in an empty classroom. Perhaps, it's their lunch time as he could hear some commotion outside.

"What the fuck?" Jungkook let out, pressing his palm against his forehead.

Fuck indeed, it felt so realistic and how could he fall asleep in the middle of day. He closed the book which was laying open on his desk before letting out a sigh. And Taehyung, seriously? Not even a girl? Why'd he shown up into his dreams in the first place and they kissed again, ugh! This is worst. But one thing which he'd realised that it feels good kissing a boy. No no, what's on earth he'd been thinking like this. He's not gay.

"Jungkookie!!!!!!"

Jungkook snapped out of his thoughts when someone burst into the class. He rolled his eyes when his gaze met with Yoongi who was looking like someone who'd discovered something alien.

"Look at this!!!! Oh my god, you won't believe but I'm super excited." Yoongi squealed, slamming down a paper on Jungkook's desk. Jungkook sighed heavily at his dramatic best friend, putting back his books into backpack, standing up from his seat.

"We're going to zoo for excursion? What are we, kids or something?"

Yoongi let out a gasp as the comment itself was so offensive. He playfully punched Jungkook on shoulder.

"Shut up, kook. Zoo is amazing and it's definitely not limited to kids. Moreover we're going for a camping trip for 3 days and 2 nights! I'm so excited and Hoba is also returning from his family vacation tomorrow, we gonna explore the place together and-"

Jungkook walked away from there before Yoongi could complete his whole listed out plans for trip. He scratches his neck as it was itching.

Yoongi puffed out the lower lip before following his best friend.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Yoongi's eyebrows knitted together. "What! Why?" He turned to Jungkook who looks so calm and dull like as always and Yoongi hates it.

"What I'm supposed to do in the trip? First off, I'll be all alone because you two bitches will ditch me to make out in some corner of the jungle and second I don't want to be a third wheel and third I hate mosquitoes." Jungkook explained, looking at Yoongi with a face of 'wasn't it so obvious'.

Yoongi's cheeks tinted crimson. "No, we won't do that again-"

"Oh, you definitely going to do it. I know you guys very well." Jungkook interrupted him, huffing lightly. They walked through the crowded hallways, proceeding towards the library.

"Yah Jungkook-ah, I'm still sorry for that day." Yoongi slung his arm over Jungkook causing the male to look at him.

"But trip won't be like a trip without you, so I'm not leaving behind you here because you're coming with us and that's finally."

Jungkook rolled his eyes playfully before grinning widely, gazing down while walking to their class. He knows he couldn't deny his bestfriend who's a stubborn brat more than him.

"Bitch, you got a hickey!?!" Yoongi almost yelled into Jungkook's ear. Jungkook stared at Yoongi, eyebrows scrunched up in confusion as he touched a random part of his neck.

"Wh-hat?"

Yoongi scoffed. "You cheated on me!"

Jungkook became more confused. "Its probably some kind of rash or mosquito bite or whatever."

"Bitch, I know the difference between a hickey and a mosquito bites."

Jungkook immediately hide the part where Yoongi was pointing out, heading to the library because it'd empty for now. He takes out his phone and opened the selfie camera to look at his neck.

"What the.." He trailed off when his eyes fell on the fresh new hickey and it wasn't a small hickey nor a gigantic one but it was big enough to get noticed by everyone. But why haven't he noticed that before??

"Fuck." Yoongi added. "Sis, it looks so damn good. I researched on hickeys and it looks like kind of possessive one. Not too small nor too big but perfect as fuck."

Jungkook tsked. "Stop calling me sis." He said while rolling eyes. But his movement stopped when he realised that he almost got a hickey in his dream but it was a dream, right?

"What the–"

Jaehyun clasped his hand over mouth, face turning red as he was suppressing the laughter while staring at Jungkook.

Next day, Jungkook got dressed up for school in turtle neck sweater with a scarf around his neck, completely covering his body skin. It was the first month of year, so the weather was cold otherwise he'd be dying under those heavy articles.

"Stop judging, shithead." Jungkook scoffed, walking out of their school buses struggling like a penguin while Jaehyun followed him behind.

"Aw, kookie, you're looking so cute."

Jungkook heard that and smiled towards a girl who was in awestruck by his outfit. He gritted his teeth in anger.

"Don't you feel like this scarf is way too much big for you? And you're even wearing these big gloves for what?"

Jungkook didn't respond to Jaehyun instead he walked faster than him in order to catch up with Yoongi. But Jaehyun grasped him from behind before the male slung his arm around him.

"Thank god, you're adorable otherwise we–" Jaehyun paused when Jungkook elbowed him but he didn't feel anything as his hit wasn't that strong for his body.

He looked down at the cute penguin who was glaring up at him – but the thing which caught his attention was his eye colour and the foreign smell over him – smell was making him suffocate. He instantly snatched away his arm from Jungkook who couldn't care a less and rushed to Yoongi.

"Yoongles!" Jungkook shouted when he spotted Yoongi in the line of students.

"What the fuck!? Don't call me that." Yoongi grumbled which caused Jungkook to giggle.

"Have you came from Alaska or something?" Yoongi asked, observing Jungkook's clothes. Jungkook glared at him.

"Attention students! As all of you can see we reached the national zoo of Seoul for our educational excursion..."

Jungkook leaned over Yoongi's back as the teacher continued to giving instructions before they entered into the zoo.

"It's hot today, yoongi." He whispered as he could feel his body getting warm because of those heavy articles. The weather was pleasant with a clear sky and bright sun.

"Who told you to dress up like this then?"

"I'm trying to hide the hickey!"

"Who told you to randomly throw yourself on someone who would end up giving you a big ass hickey!?"

"Shush, yoongi. Low your voice, anyone can hear you and i don't remember who did this to me!"

Yoongi was about to say something when the teacher and a guide instructed them to follow them throughout the zoo.

"Fuck this outfit, I'm going to change!" Jungkook grumbled under his breath, looking around for the restroom. His whole body was itching under those clothes now.

"Oh my god, they have 10 tigers–" Yoongi paused when he didn't spot Jungkook behind him. "Jungkook!" He saw him rushing towards the restroom, he tried to call him but it seemed Jungkook haven't heard him.

Jungkook burst into the restroom. Thank god, it's empty. He panted before taking off the scarf around his neck. He saw how ridiculous he was looking. His whole neck was itching perhaps due to the turtle neck. He took off his school's jacket before taking off the turtle neck sweater leaving him in his school's shirt.

He screamed. Mouth agape in shock while he stared at his reflection on mirror.

"What is this!?" His fingers hesitated before tracing them against those purple and red spots all over his neck. It looks like the hickey or rash was spreading over his skin. His eyes widened when he unbuttoned his shirt.

"What's w-wrong!??" He shallow the lump of his throat, the hickey was already spread over his shoulder. He could feel his tears building up. First the dream, the kiss, the jungle, the hickey and now. Terror clouded over his face expression because he may familiar with these marks. These marks weren't ordinary and he knew it which scared the shit out of him. He dropped on the floor.

Nanna... Jungkook thought. He clenched his fists, its all that Taehyung's fault. Since the newbies came to this school, everything around him was a mess. He slightly hissed while touching those purple and red spots – it felt like they were burning over his skin. They are painful but still looks good on his skin. A tear rolled down to his cheek before he lower his head as the pain slowly becoming unbearable to him.

He was so engaged with himself that he didn't someone sneak into the restroom and they were alone.
