Summary: You decide to get a tattoo to surprise your boyfriend, Yoongi. You ask Jungkook to accompany you, but this leads to a change you never expected.

Author’s Note: Another serving of angst for you! 😉

Part Seven

Your phone vibrated in your back pocket for what seemed like the 10th time in the last few hours, but your brain barely acknowledged it. You were a little preoccupied with your fingers knotted in Jungkook’s soft hair, your bodies molded together. His teeth grazed your bottom lip as he kissed you, his strong hands kneading your waist as he stole every breath you tried to take. The effect of it all made your blood rush, and left your cognition a little hazy.

You’d let your boss know you’d be working from home today as soon as you’d left the boys’ dorm last night, and after Jungkook went to rehearsal this morning, you’d made a valiant effort to put everything out of your mind and busy yourself with your project, your looming deadline not forgotten. Allowing your task to consume you muted your emotions somewhat, but the ache in your chest from losing Yoongi could not be completely ignored. Nor could Jungkook’s request to take you out tonight. So when he finally texted you after several drawn-out hours, you agreed to go with him, if only because he was sure to be a better distraction than your work.

Jungkook had picked you up a few hours ago, and taken you to an escape room. It was something you’d always wanted to try, so you decided to do your best to have fun. He was a bundle of energy, and as you fed off of him and worked together to solve the clues, you found yourself getting caught up in the game - and in your feelings for him.

You’d allowed him to touch you whenever he wanted, to put his arms around you, to hold your hand, to kiss you, and every time he did, you actively shut out the voice in the back of your mind saying, “This is wrong.”

That was how you’d ended up here after your date, pressed together just steps inside your front door, your mouths moving together as your sensibilities fled further from you.

This kiss was nothing like last night. Last night, Jungkook had restrained himself, only pressing his lips to yours to offer sweet, reassuring comfort. Now, he kissed you with all the pent-up, unbridled hunger he’d repressed since the day he accompanied you to get your tattoo.

As his tongue caressed yours, Jungkook’s hands slid down your hips, grasping behind your thighs and hoisting you up, wrapping your legs around him as he moved forward. You gasped when your back met the wall, his solid body pinning you there while his mouth continued to crash against yours. Your arms reflexively tightened around his neck, your fingers digging into his shoulders as your heart slammed against his chest.

Fuzzy as your mind was, you couldn’t help but think how Yoongi had never held you like this. For Jungkook, it was nothing. He was bigger and stronger than his hyung; he’d lifted you up like you were a doll. Everything with Jungkook felt different than with Yoongi, and not just physically. But you’d yet to determine if that was a good thing.

When Jungkook finally paused for air, your labored breaths mixing as he rested his forehead against yours, you grabbed at his t-shirt, tugging it up his back.

“Can I see your tattoo now?” You panted, clutching the thin fabric with both hands.

Jungkook’s nose scrunched, an amused smile breaking across his face.

“I’d rather see yours again,” He teased, his voice low.

“Oh, yeah?” You leaned your head back to look at him. His large eyes were wide and dark with lust.

“Yeah,” He agreed, his grip tightening on your thighs, “You have no idea how sexy it is to me, noona. It took everything I have to keep my hands off of you at dinner last night.”

Your heart, still pounding against your ribs, skipped a beat.

But you shook your head.

“No,” You told him, “You first. Fair is fair. Let me see.”

Jungkook’s smirk faded, but he didn’t argue. With a sigh, he unhooked your legs from around his waist and lowered you back down the wall. When you were stably on your feet, he took a deep breath and grasped the hem of his shirt, lifting it up over his head. Then somewhat meekly, he stood before you, awaiting your appraisal.

It was not the first time you’d glimpsed beneath his shirt; you’d seen his live performance of “Fake Love” on more than one occasion, after all, though you’d never been so close to his exposed body. But as much as you wanted to run your eyes - and your hands - over every sculpted muscle, your gaze went directly to his sides.

His untouched, perfectly bare sides.

You reached for him in confusion, lifting his arms to better examine his ribcage. You even twisted his torso, searching for any trace of ink, but you found none. The only tattoos you could see were the ones on his hand and arm that you were already familiar with.

“You said you have a tattoo on your side...” You looked up at him, finding a conflicted expression on his face.

Your chest grew tight as realization dawned on you.

“You lied to me.” You whispered, and the guilt in Jungkook’s eyes told you he couldn’t deny it.

A wave of sickness roiled in your stomach as the truth slowly unfolded before you.

This... all of this... your first kiss, your growing attraction, Yoongi breaking up with you, everything...

It was all because...

Jungkook had lied.

Summary: The only thing cuter than Jin is his irrepressible love for RJ.

Author’s Note: I had a dream about this last night and I just had to write a quick little drabble. Hope you enjoy!

-

“Oh!” Jin’s eyes lit up as he strained to see over the sea of people, “RJ!”

An amused chuckle escaped you. Even halfway across a crowded carnival, he never missed spotting his fluffy alpaca friend.

“We have to win him!” Jin insisted.

You checked the time on your phone.

“We’re supposed to meet the guys by the ferris wheel in 10 minutes, I don’t know if we have time.”

“Ah, that’s plenty of time! Please, we can’t just leave him there, he needs me!” He began flapping his arms in excitement, his sleeves flopping over his hands and giving him sweater paws.

Your gaze softened as you looked at Jin, a warm feeling kindling in your heart. You were only friends, but it was times like this - when he was full of childlike enthusiasm - that made you consider what it would be like if you were ever more. He could just be so adorable sometimes.

Jin craned his neck toward the game booth, clearly worried he’d miss his chance and someone else would win the RJ plushie before he could, and you decided to act on impulse. Standing on your tiptoes, you stretched to reach him, and pressed a kiss to Jin’s smooth cheek.

He immediately turned his face toward you, his mouth falling open and his eyes growing wide. He couldn’t have looked more shocked if he tried.

“What was that for?!” Jin asked incredulously, his hand touching his cheek where your lips had just been.

You smiled brightly at him, shrugging.

“You’re just so cute.”

Jin’s surprised expression faded, slowly morphing into a smug smirk, and before you could react, his arm slipped around your waist, pulling you to him.

You collided with his chest and he took your mouth with his in the next instant. His full lips molded to the curve of yours, and your tummy did an unexpected backflip. Then, just as quickly as he’d seized you, he released you, slackening his hold.

You gasped for air, resting your hands on his wide shoulders.

“What was that for?!” It was your turn to be shocked.

Jin shrugged this time, a twinkle in his eyes.

“You’re cute, too.”

You giggled, a hand covering your face, and Jin grabbed your other hand, tugging you along.

“Now come on, we have to get in line before RJ is gone!” He cried, weaving his way through the throng.

You laughed out loud as you followed Jin, your fingers secure in his grasp. You had wondered what it would be like to be more than friends with him, and now you knew.

It was just like being friends. And more.

Part Four

First Meal in NZ

Lunch was priority number one after hitting the road as you were all starving after your flights

The crew had already chosen a restaurant close to the rental company

During the short drive to the restaurant, you adjusted your wind-blown hair, redoing your ponytail while Yoongi seemed a little fidgety beside you, repeatedly licking his lips

“I feel so scruffy.” He commented, pointing out a tiny spot on his cheek and saying his lips were chapped already

You thought he looked as flawless as ever

And when you saw his mouth curling into a smile, you realized you said that out loud

A little embarrassed, you turned your attention to your bag and dug through it until you found your lip balm

You offered it to Yoongi, “If you don’t mind sharing.”

“I don’t mind if you don’t.” He replied, taking the tube from you and applying the balm directly to his lips

He then handed it back to you with a “thanks,” your fingers brushing, and you gave him a smile in return

When you arrived at the restaurant, Jungkook was maneuvering the camper into a parking spot while Hoseok directed him

As you all made your way inside to eat, Jin asked what kind of food the restaurant served

Namjoon answered that it was homestyle Western food

You perked up, excited for the opportunity to share your kind of cuisine with the boys

You told them how you liked to cook and offered to make them some of your traditional food one of these nights

The boys enthusiastically agreed as you sat down at the table, four people on each side

You didn’t even have to try to sit by Yoongi, he was already next to you and pulled out your chair

The waitress quickly approached the table, passing out menus, and you and the boys examined the various selections

Yoongi immediately found Korean fried chicken on the menu and the boys agreed they had to try it, so you teased them for choosing Korean food at a Western restaurant

But then you decided you wanted spaghetti carbonara, and they teased you for choosing Italian food (even though they wanted to share some, too)

When your orders arrived, you all dug in, everyone sharing all the dishes

Everything Yoongi tried he wanted you to try

At first he would put some on your plate, but he eventually began feeding you bites right from his fork because it was quicker and easier

You reciprocated happily, feeding him a swirl of pasta

Conversation became limited as everyone enjoyed the meal, stuffing themselves

Shopping for Supplies

After you all finished eating and Accountant Hoseok paid the bill, you piled back into the vehicles and headed across town to a sporting goods store

Some of the boys had packed light and needed to buy more things like coats, gloves, hats, and shoes

You browsed the store along with them, even though you had been sure to pack everything you needed

Jungkook and Jimin found headbands like Yoongi’s and you joined them in trying some on

The boys weren’t happy with how they looked and sought for Yoongi’s expertise

As he tried to help Jimin, he commented that the headband you were still wearing suited you

And you knew that was high praise from him, so you were quite flattered

After some discussion, he agreed to buy a headband for Jungkook - and one for you, too

You tried to decline but he wouldn’t hear it, insisting that you had to have it, so you gratefully accepted

The next item on the agenda was grocery shopping, and as you headed out, the production crew radioed with instructions

Jimin responded from the camper through the walkie-talkie and Yoongi did the same from the SUV

After hearing Yoongi’s response, Jimin teased him about the tone of his voice

He didn’t hear him - but you did

“He said, ‘Your voice is so sexy,’” You told Yoongi with a laugh

He just sighed in mock annoyance, not acknowledging Jimin

“He’s right, though,” You agreed with Jimin, “And your voice sounds even better in person.”

He just covered his mouth and looked out the window, trying to hide his shy smile

And you mentally patted yourself on the back for making him blush

At the grocery store, Yoongi was singing a song to himself, not really paying attention as you headed inside, and you noticed a car rolling through the parking lot

You automatically grabbed the sleeve of his jacket, pulling him back

He looked at you questioningly, but when the car passed by he realized you had stopped him from walking out in front of it

He gave you a small nod in thanks, placing his hand over yours that was still clutching his sleeve

Inside, you followed Yoongi’s lead, helping him and Jin gather ingredients while the other boys stocked up on ramyeon and snacks

When you were ready to checkout, there were several carts full between all of you and you joked that you had enough to live in NZ for a month

While the other boys were loading up the groceries, you found Jungkook in the parking lot trying to tie his long hair up and Jin offering to “help” him

Jungkook refused Jin’s help, but asked for yours when he caught sight of you

You obliged, pulling the top half of his hair into a high ponytail that pleased Jungkook and amused all his hyungs

On the Road

The next stop was a 45-minute drive from the grocery store, and Yoongi lamented that this season was going to be all driving

You said that you didn’t like being the driver for very long, but you didn’t mind being a passenger

As Jin drove, you told him, Namjoon, and Yoongi stories about growing up road-tripping around your country with your family

Then the boys started singing songs from cartoons from their childhood

Which led to arguing about how everyone should know them and Namjoon accusing his hyungs of being old

You objected, taking offense and informing him that you’re only a month older than Yoongi

Namjoon apologized with a laugh, and the carpool karaoke resumed

You sang along as best as you could, though you didn’t know many of the songs

Still, it was enjoyable just to see the boys letting loose and having fun (especially Yoongi)

The drive passed quickly, the scenery of tall mountains, verdant grass, and countless sheep growing more beautiful the further you ventured

Soon, you pulled into a highway cafe for a rest stop

There was a sheep pen next to the cafe and you all posed for pictures in front of it as the sun sank low in the sky behind you, first for the crew’s cameras, then everyone pulled out their own phones

Seizing the opportunity, you leaned into Yoongi and both of you smiled for a selfie

With Yoongi looking over your shoulder, you reviewed what turned out to be a cute picture, and you realized that it was your first together, which felt significant

The shepherd then approached your group, and offered to let someone hold a lamb

Jungkook and Jimin were thrilled to hold the baby sheep, and when it was your turn you were surprised how soft - and heavy - it was

You tried to hand the lamb to Yoongi next, but he declined, so you put it down and let it run back to its mother

You were all getting chilly by that point, so you went inside the cafe and ordered hot chocolate and coffee

Choosing a table in the corner with windows all around, you settled in and warmed up with your drinks, chatting about card games

Hoseok went back outside on his own after finishing his drink, and when he returned he showed everyone a video of his “Chicken Noodle Soup” dance that he’d just recorded

It was then time to leave, and as you all stood up from the table and headed to the door, Yoongi mused about how his zodiac sign is a chicken and how it suits him, though you were the only one listening to him

“We were born the same year, so it’s my sign too, but I’m not so sure I’m comfortable identifying with a chicken.” You told him, smirking playfully as you walked towards the SUV

“Rooster signs are observant and thoughtful. And they’re creative. They’re hard-workers. I think we have these things in common.” He explained, indicating that he was referring to you and him

And you couldn’t argue with that, so you only smiled at him

When you reached the SUV, Jin and Namjoon got in the back so Jin could rest, so Yoongi got in the driver’s seat and you took the passenger’s seat

As Yoongi acquainted himself with the right-sided car, he noticed the small screen on the camera on the dashboard and remarked that it was a good shot of both of you

Flattered once again, you responded with an agreeing grin into the camera

You then pulled up the directions to your accommodations on your phone to navigate Yoongi as he pulled back out onto the road

Part Six

Good Morning NZ

You awoke gradually in the morning to the sounds of the production crew and maybe some of the boys getting up and around

After the quick and relieving realization that yesterday had not been just a good dream, you hopped out of bed and began getting dressed

You knew a hike up the mountain was the first activity on the day’s schedule, so you chose your outfit accordingly

Just as you finished lacing up your hiking boots, you heard a knock on your bedroom window

Curious, you pulled open the curtains to find Jimin waving in at you

You waved back cheerily, then made your way out to the main part of the cabin

In the lounge, you found Jin and Namjoon starting on the breakfast buffet while Jungkook told them how he’d already hiked up the trail

You poured yourself a bowl of cereal and took a seat at the table, exchanging “good morning”s with the boys

Not much later, Jimin came inside, his boots caked with mud, just as Yoongi made his appearance, looking as adorable as always
