"Is there something going on? You guys have literally been the quietest this whole time. It's weird coming from you two." Namjoon looked at Yoongi and Hoseok with ponder. "Something happen between the two hours you two were together?"

Hoseok hummed. "Oh, no, just tired. I'm bummed because Yoongi wouldn't let me get a puppy." He wasn't lying technically and it was a good cover up.

Yoongi played along, rolling his eyes. "I told him that we wouldn't be able to take it with through Daegu, Busan, and back to Seoul." He added.

"Is this the way you guys argue?" Jungkook inquired. "Kind of childish."

"Watch it, no one asked you." Yoongi directed his pointed finger at Jungkook who threw his hands up defensively.

"Just saying." He shrugged lamely, looking away.

"Well, okay," Seokjin hummed out. "Anyways, we got to get going if we want to make the parade. It'll be fun for us to just get out." He offered his very pretty smile, throwing his arm around Namjoon's shoulders.

Jimin nodded in concurrence. "Yeah, I say we hurry and get there. I just want to have a great time with you all." He grinned.

Jeongguk was the only one who didn't bother saying anything, he didn't feel like he needed to add his two cents in what they did next, it was pretty obvious.

Jungkook spared a glance at his brother, giving a smile to him which Jeongguk didn't bother to return.

Jeongguk made it a plan to have a few drinks to take the edge off. He wasn't miserable or upset but if he was going to be dealing with his idiotic friends for the remaining of the night, he figured he was going to get a drink or five out of it.

***

"Get up!" Jeongguk groaned as he heard being shouted — or so it sounded like it was being screamed right into his ear.

He swung his hand back, pulling a pillow over his head. "Shut up." He grunted, sounding exhausted.

Namjoon's chuckle was very clear. "We told you we had to leave early in the morning. I'm not quite sure why you decided drinking was the best idea. Not one of your brightest moments, my friend."

"He doesn't have many bright moments." Hoseok's voice piped in.

Jeongguk huffed, he realized there was no way he could get out of this. He moved the pillow, looking at Namjoon and Hoseok who stood over him. "Did you bring medicine at least?"

"Of course we did. We wouldn't just barge in here without it." Seokjin said from the bottom of the bed, handing over the pills and a small glass of water.

The young twin winced, pushing so he could sit up. His head was pounding, everything seeming ten times louder than what they were. He took the pills and glass from Seokjin, muttering a thanks under his breath. "Where's Kook?"

"He went out with Yoongi and Jimin to pick up breakfast." Hoseok answered. "They left five minutes before we decided to wake you up."

Jeongguk took two pills and gulped it down with his water, setting the bottle and water down, bringing his hands through his hair. He threw the blanket off of his body before he quickly pulled it back over his lap, eyes wide with shock. "Why am I naked?"

The other three shielded their eyes, all sharing a disgusted chuckle.

"Well, you kept complaining it was too hot and that you needed to free the 'royal accessory' in order to feel cooled." Seokjin informed, peaking to make sure it was safe for him to look.

"I didn't sleep with anyone, right?" Jeongguk looked a bit bewildered, his cheeks red after exposing his business to the three surrounding him. "Right?" He repeated, feeling a bit feared he might have.

"No, we didn't let you." Seokjin said. "Unfortunately, me, you, Namjoon, and Kook had to share a room so we made sure no one was coming with us back."

"Why did we share rooms?" Jeongguk inquired.

Namjoon answered this time, walking over to Jeongguk's small luggage. "Because we're not a famous football player who can afford three different motel rooms. We settled on two. Hoseok, Yoongi, and Jimin were in the other room together."

"I don't know who I would want to room with more. It would've been awkward regardless." Said Hoseok. "Awkward with Jimin and I'm thankful I didn't have to room with you." He added, snickering. Everyone knew yet no one questioned why it was awkward.

Namjoon tossed Jeongguk a pair of boxers and sweatpants. "Put these on. We're leaving in an hour and a half to Busan so I need you to sober up. Chug more water or shower or something."

The Jeon Twin slipped the boxers on under the bedsheet, standing so he could pull on the given pants. "Well, can you guys get out so I can do that?"

"No, we don't trust you." Seokjin told. "I don't want to find out you went back to bed so you can deal with us in here. Go wash up, you reek."

Jeongguk mocked his hyung, seeing Seokjin raise his hand to slap him so he quickly scurried into the bathroom to get himself cleaned.

"What I thought." Seokjin called.

"What I-" Jeongguk went to copy him again but Seokjin acted quick.

"I will walk in there and hold your head in the toilet, don't make me go in there." And after that was said, not a peep exited Jeongguk's thin lips.

Seokjin felt like a proud mother who scolded her children. He turned and looked at Namjoon and Hoseok. "We can't lie though, his junk wasn't bad. Taehyung had it good back then."

"Ew," Namjoon said. "Just fucking ew." He said. "I'm right here, could you not say things like that?"

"Sweetie, I married you." Seokjin smiled. "It wasn't my choice to see it, he flashed us all." He chuckled and walked over. "Don't worry over it. Just go get ready to help bring in the food with the rest of them." He pecked his cheek.

"This is what married couples turn into? I think I'll pass on marrying Yoongi some day." Said Hoseok, face showing mere repulsiveness.

Namjoon had left the room after receiving his kisses, Seokjin just rolled his eyes and spoke. "Once you love him unconditionally, you'll truly understand what it means to connect your guys life together for always until death due you both apart."

"That was too much, Seokjin, make a funny comment, quick." Hoseok put the elder on spot. "Namjoon's words of wisdom is getting to you I'm afraid."

"You're a funny comment." Seokjin said.

"Oh no, it's too late. That wasn't even remotely close to being funny. I'm terrified the worse is yet to come." The younger of the current two placed his hand over his chest, putting on a mask of fear to act out his words.

Seokjin let a huff of air out his nose, shaking his head. "Yoongi's sarcasm really hit you hard, didn't it?" He placed his fingers on his nose to rub the bridge of it. "An actual disappointment."

Hoseok didn't know what to reply back. "I . . . I kind of deserved that but at least we're not disgusting." He huffed out.

"Mhmm, sure." Seokjin chuckled. "Just stay here and wait for Jeongguk. I'm going to go help them because knowing Namjoon, he'll drop something and ruin someone's breakfast." He sighed, walking over to the door and soon also leaving.

Hoseok then was left there waiting for the younger to hurry with his shower, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. His mind flooded back to the scenes of yesterday when he saw Taehyung, it was like he was let down; disappointment took over Taehyung's features when he saw Hoseok and Yoongi. Hoseok truly wondered what happened for Taehyung to cut him off the way he did.

What changed?
