Voyagers

Genre: Fluff/Headcanon

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader (Female)

Summary: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join BTS on a Bon Voyage adventure leads to once-in-a-lifetime love.

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

He caught your eye as soon as he entered the lounge, giving you a small nod in greeting, and you couldn’t help but smile back at him

Your heart made its usual leap each time you saw Yoongi, and you began to doubt you’d ever get used to being around him

He came over to the table and took the seat next to you, inquiring about your night as he sat

You replied that you’d slept soundly through the night, better than you’d expected, and he was glad to hear it

Yoongi then asked the others when you’d be leaving on your hike, saying he’d wait to eat until they got back so he could do some fasting cardio

You, Namjoon, and Jin exchanged smiles as you all continued eating, facetiously agreeing to do some fasting cardio too

Then Namjoon informed Yoongi that you were just waiting on Taehyung and Hoseok to be ready

When you finished your cereal and cleaned up your bowl, you returned to the table to wait with the boys

Giving you a cursory glance as you sat between him and Jimin, Yoongi remarked that he liked your headband

You were wearing the one he bought you and you were pleased that he’d noticed

Jimin overheard Yoongi and, hoping for a compliment too, leaned around you to ask his hyung if he liked his cap

Yoongi hardly spared him a glance before dispassionately approving of his headwear too, and Jimin beamed

Finally, Taehyung and Hoseok emerged and you were all ready to hit the trail

A Mountain Hike

Jin led the charge out of the cabin and up the trail, and the rest of you followed, with you and Yoongi bringing up the rear

As you hiked, you and the boys sang your “Bon Voyage” chant, improvising different versions like acoustic and EDM

It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining brightly, and though the air was cool, you began to feel warm in your down coat

When you reached the top of an incline, you pulled out your phones to take pictures of the expanse of snowy mountains

On his way to hand a GoPro camera to Taehyung, Namjoon tripped and fell, landing on his back

He didn’t seem hurt, only embarrassed, but you hurried over to check on him while the boys laughed

Namjoon was grateful for your concern, and when he was back on his feet you helped him brush the dirt off of his clothes

While you assisted Namjoon, Yoongi observed you, seemingly deep in thought

Then Jungkook suggested you take a 360-degree shot, so you all gathered around and performed another acoustic rendition of “Bon Voyage” for the camera, really getting into it

When you finished your song, the boys decided to play rock-paper-scissors to see who should continue up the trail until they reached the snow

You, Hoseok, Jin, and Taehyung won the first round, and Namjoon and Jungkook won the second, leaving Yoongi and Jimin

The two losers groaned and you took pity on them, offering to accompany them

No one argued with you, so the three of you began your trudge uphill while the rest of the group headed back down

You climbed steadily higher, but the snow never seemed to get any closer

You were starting to get tired, and you could tell Yoongi was too, but you both pressed on, encouraging each other

Like him, you weren’t a particularly active person; you could rally to participate in the occasional physical activity, but you much preferred activities that allowed you to stay still

Finally, you reached the crest of the hill, and you and Yoongi immediately sat on the ground to rest

Seeing your exhaustion, Jimin kindly offered to run ahead and grab some snow to prove you made it to the top

After obtaining a solid chunk, you all started back down the trail, joking as you walked about making iced Americanos with the snow

When you arrived back at the cabin, you stopped outside the door to clean off your muddy boots, and the other boys were amazed that the three of you actually made it all the way up

Since it would be time to leave soon and Jimin and Yoongi hadn’t eaten anything yet, Hoseok offered to make each of you some of his special toast

You finished cleaning up first, and went inside to help Hoseok gather ingredients from the buffet

Yoongi wasn’t far behind you, and told Hoseok that you’d encountered a bear on the trail but he’d subdued it with a chokehold

You laughed appreciatively, but Hoseok was busy preparing food and was unimpressed by Yoongi’s tale

When Hoseok finished, you, Yoongi, and Jimin enjoyed his golden toast concoction, thanking him for the good meal

Yoongi remarked that he doesn’t usually care for breakfast food, and you were surprised, replying that you love breakfast and could eat it all day

Sipping his iced coffee, he casually commented that he might enjoy it more if you made it for him

And you thought that sounded like something you would enjoy too

On the Road Again

After you were done eating, everyone gathered their belongings and loaded up into the vehicles

You, Yoongi, and Jin chose to ride in the SUV again, but Namjoon traded Taehyung for a seat in the camper

No one spoke much as Jin drove, and Taehyung wondered if he’d ended up in the quiet car

You and Yoongi assured him that you were plenty loud the day before, but that you were just tired right now

So to lift the energy of your group, Taehyung started playing some upbeat music, and everyone quickly joined in on another episode of carpool karaoke

The camper van team even joined in, and your groups sang back and forth over the walkie-talkies

After a while, Jungkook pulled the camper into a gas station to refuel and Jin followed

While Jungkook filled up the tanks and cleaned the windshields, you and the others wandered inside the convenience store next to the gas station

The store had all kinds of cold-weather accessories, and Jimin found a cute furry hood with an attached scarf

You and Namjoon liked it so much, you each decided to get one too

Yoongi chose a pair of gloves, but as you stood in line at the register, he realized he left his wallet in the car

You offered to pay for his purchase, but he declined, not wanting you to spend your money on him

You tried to convince him, saying he could pay you back or buy something for you if he insisted, but he was still hesitant

Ultimately, Hoseok decided he would pay for everyone, but you assured Yoongi you wouldn’t have minded helping him out and he meekly thanked you

As you were piling back into the vehicles, Hoseok realized he’d bought one too many hats, and returned to the store for a refund

While he was inside, Jin suggested pulling a hidden camera prank and pretending to leave Hoseok behind

You and Yoongi were already in the backseat of the SUV when Jin and Taehyung climbed in the front, sniggering as they told you both the plan

As Jin drove off, Yoongi expressed his disapproval, and you agreed that it was kind of mean

A few minutes later, Hoseok called and was clearly upset

Taking pity on him, Jin turned the car around and went to pick him up from the side of the road

You scooted over to the middle of the backseat to make room for Hoseok, and when he got in you were practically squished against Yoongi

He didn’t seem to mind (though he may have blushed)

(And you might have blushed just a little bit too)

He just moved his arm across the back of the seat behind you, shifting to give you more room, and you fit into the curve of his shoulder

Once Hoseok was safely transferred back to the camper, you reluctantly returned to your own seat, exchanging a shy smile with Yoongi

Both vehicles then continued on toward your next destination

Conversation in the SUV dwindled as the miles went by, and you could tell Yoongi was growing drowsy

You told him he should try to get some rest while he could, and he leaned his head back and closed his eyes without any argument

Within moments, his breathing evened out, and you knew he was sound asleep

And you couldn’t help but admire him as he slept, your fondness growing

An Outdoor Lunch

Midway through the day, your group stopped for lunch at a cute farm with a cafe, and you gently nudged Yoongi awake as Jin parked

The sun was bright and warm, so you and the boys chose to sit at a table outside

There was a swing set by your table, so while you waited for your food, you and Jungkook took turns pushing each other on the swing

You felt so light and carefree as you swung, giggling happily

And you couldn’t help but notice Yoongi watching, his gaze fixed on you as he sipped his drink

When the waitress brought the food out, you and Jungkook took your place at the table, and Yoongi slid over to make space for you next to him on the bench

Before you even had a chance to take a bite of your panini sandwich, Yoongi wordlessly slid some of his sweet potato fries onto your plate

And took a couple of your French fries, but you didn’t object

As everyone ate, you discussed the agenda for the rest of the day

You would be cooking for yourselves that night and Yoongi wanted to pick up a few more supplies, so it was decided that the whole SUV team would get the groceries and meet up with the camper team afterwards

So when lunch was finished, you, Yoongi, Jin, and Taehyung said “see you later” to the others, and headed out to the store

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: So, this is the finale - ah! All that’s left is an epilogue. I’ve worked really hard on this part, so I truly hope you enjoy it!

Part Nine

The sloshing of ice as you nervously swirled the straw around in your cup was the loudest sound in Yoongi’s studio. His iced Americano sat on his desk behind him, untouched and accumulating condensation. You’d brought him coffee from his favorite café as a show of good will, but the gesture had done little to ease the tension in the room.

Yoongi shifted uncomfortably in his office chair, clearing his throat, and you stiffened your back, ceasing your fidgeting. You sat across from him, perched on the edge of his sofa, anxiously waiting for him to say something. Anything.

Though you were still unsure and dreading what you were going to hear.

“So…” He finally spoke, and your breath caught at the sound, “How’d your big project turn out?”

You exhaled abruptly. The sound that came from you was almost a laugh.

He would remember to ask you about your project. The way this man cared about things that were important to you, even when he was unhappy with you… was one of the countless things you loved about him.

“The client had no complaints so, okay, I guess.” You replied, and Yoongi nodded thoughtfully.

“Good. I’m glad.”

Though his expression remained indifferent, you knew he was being sincere, and you couldn’t hold back another disbelieving scoff.

“What?” He asked, his brow furrowing.

“I’m just surprised you remembered. And that you care.” You sat your coffee on the floor by your feet, and when you looked up again, Yoongi met your gaze, his eyes searching your face.

“I didn’t just stop caring about you.” He frowned, but his admission only made your thoughts more tangled.

You studied him carefully in return. It had only been a week, but it felt like months since you’d seen his face. And right now, he looked so casually, effortlessly handsome, that it hurt.

“You know what I’ve done, don’t you?” You asked him, trying to figure him out. “You know I ran straight into Jungkook’s arms, right?”

Yoongi gave a tired nod, and you looked away. You felt facing him would make it too difficult to say the things you needed to say.

“I know that’s why you broke up with me, because you thought that’s what I’d do…” You persisted, looking down at your hands knotting in your lap, “And that’s exactly what I did. So I guess I just expected you to hate me.”

Your voice almost broke on the word “hate.”

You heard Yoongi lean forward in his chair, but you still couldn’t bring yourself to look at him.

“I don’t hate you.” He said softly, but you just shook your head, unconvinced.

Yoongi rolled his chair a little bit closer.

“I know this may be hard to believe… but I didn’t break up with you because I hate you. I decided we should take a break because I love and respect you. And I still do.”

Your head instinctively lifted at that, your gaze going wide.

“You broke up with me because you love me?” The words just didn’t make sense.

Yoongi’s chin jutted forward in confirmation. He leaned back, his hands resting on the arms of his chair.

“I could tell you were attracted to Jungkook, and I knew he felt the same way about you.” He explained stoically. “As much as I want you all to myself, I didn’t want to force you to choose me. I thought the best thing to do was to take a step back, to allow you the freedom to explore your feelings and come to your own decision.”

Your heart threw itself against your ribs, countless emotions rising like a flood within you.

“But I’d already made my decision!” You cried, a silent sob in your throat, “There was nothing to decide!”

Yoongi flinched almost imperceptivity, and you wiped at the hot tears welling in your eyes. You took a deep breath to steady yourself and continued, trying your hardest to stay calm.

“I may have felt attracted to Jungkook, but being with him was never even a choice. I never wanted to break up or explore anything, Yoongi, you have to know that. You have to know it’s always been you for me.” You assured him, finally looking him in the eyes. “There’s no room in my heart for anyone but you.”

He blinked several times, casting his eyes down.

“I know that now.” Yoongi muttered toward his lap.

Then with a sniff, he pushed off of his chair to stand, closing the distance between you in a few short strides. He sat beside you on the small couch, his knees brushing yours, and you pulled in a shaky breath. The scent of his skin, the warmth of his body so close were things you had desperately missed.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I know I messed up, I’ve messed up everything so bad…” You told him in a rush, swiping your hair back from your face, “I know I should never have turned to Jungkook and I’m so sorry… but when you said let’s take a break… I didn’t know what to do. I just wanted a distraction from the pain.”

You paused to gather yourself, but your tears could no longer be restrained; they spilled over, and you could feel the wet tracks running down your face. Yoongi waited patiently beside you.

“I was shattered,” You admitted, your voice wavering more as you spoke, “I thought you and I were, that we were… something permanent. I thought that nothing could break us. Because you promised me, Yoongi. You promised me everything was okay.”

A gasping sob escaped you as you finished speaking, and Yoongi’s impassive mask finally cracked, his features clearly displaying his pain.

“Shhh,” Yoongi hushed, lifting his hands to your face, “It is, angel. Everything’s okay.”

His long fingers cupped your cheeks, his thumbs wiping away your tears, and the feel of his touch made you physically ache. Ashamed and embarrassed, you wanted to avoid his gaze, but the way he held you made it difficult to look anywhere but into the depths of his dark eyes.

“I’m sorry I put you through this,” His voice was soft and low now, his words rumbling like a purr, “I should have believed you. I should have held on tighter instead of letting go.”

He leaned forward, resting his forehead gently on yours, and your hands intuitively clutched the back of his neck. The air between you mixed together as you both breathed.

You inhaled deeply, your crying beginning to subside.

“I’m sorry,” You whispered, caressing the hair at the back of his head, “I’m so sorry, Yoongi. I can’t tell you enough.”

“I know, angel, I know,” He murmured back, “I’m sorry, too.”

Then he leaned back, giving a heavy sigh, and you sniffled. His fingers slipped from your face and landed in your lap, his hands cupping yours on top of your thighs.

“You know,” He said, his thumbs kneading the back of your hands, “I convinced myself I was being noble, but the truth is… I was scared.”

“Scared?” You asked, your eyebrows knitting together. “Why?”

He took a moment to answer, carefully trying to articulate his feelings.

“I was afraid you were only staying with me out of a sense of obligation. I was afraid… I no longer made you happy.”

Determination flared within you, burning away the last of your tears.

“Min Yoongi,” You looked him dead in the eyes, “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

The ghost of a smirk flickered across his face.

“I realize that, but it’s nice to hear.”

You gave him a small nod, then chewed your lip.

“So… what now?” You meekly asked him, not quite daring to hope. “Where do we go from here?”

Yoongi puffed his cheeks, giving it a moment’s careful consideration.

“We’re leaving in a few days,” He said, referring to the group, “To North America, for a publicity tour. We’ll be gone for a couple of weeks.”

A knot formed in the pit of your stomach. You couldn’t bear the thought of spending even another second away from him, but Yoongi continued speaking, seemingly unaware of your distress.

“Maybe when we get back,” He looked to you expectantly, “You and I could finish watching our series, and see where things go from there?”

The smile that slowly spread across your face could not fully express your elation as relief kindled within you. His proposal was more than you had ever hoped for, and far more than you deserved.

“That is,” Yoongi fully smirked, “Unless you’ve been watching without me.”

You shoved his shoulder playfully, and his face lit up with the gummy smile that recently you’d seen only in your dreams. Naturally, he leaned into you, one hand finding place behind your neck. With a gentle pull, he brought you to him and, still smiling, he pressed his warm lips firmly against your cheek.

“God, I missed you.” Yoongi breathed across your skin, the tip of his nose tickling your jaw as he nuzzled your face.

Your eyes fluttered shut, your fingers closing around his wrist, and you held his hand to your neck.

“I missed you, too.” You sighed, unimaginably content, and for a moment, you let all your cares melt away. Though your future together remained unwritten, in that moment you and Yoongi were exactly where you planned to stay.

Voyagers

Genre: Fluff/Headcanon

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader (Female)

Summary: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join BTS on a Bon Voyage adventure leads to once-in-a-lifetime love.

Author’s Note: As penance for the long wait for an update, this part is extra long. Please note that my drabble Warmth fits into this chapter, and I’ve added a link where it should be read. I hope this humble bit of fluff brightens your day!

Part Seven

Grocery Shopping, Take Two

On the way to the grocery store, you asked Yoongi what he planned to make for dinner

He answered kimchi jjigae, and you typed up a shopping list on your phone while he told you the necessary ingredients

At the store, Jin went directly to the candy aisle for more gummies

Taehyung tried to block him, telling him to finish what he already had before buying more

Amused, you snuck behind them as they bantered and grabbed a big bag of Jin’s favorite 

“Don’t worry, oppa,” You said to Jin, showing him the candy, “I’ll share mine with you.”

Jin broke out into his signature laugh while Taehyung frowned in mock disapproval and you grinned

Yoongi came around the corner at that moment talking about buying meat, so you followed him to the refrigerated section

Together, you picked out a pile of lamb and pork cuts, asking each other’s opinions

You worked companionably, finding everything on your list together

When you were finished shopping and after you had stuffed the groceries into every little crevice of the SUV, Jin noticed a small zip-line across the lot from the store

You and Taehyung decided to join Jin to check it out while Yoongi returned the cart inside 

Jin and Taehyung took turns sliding down the line, shouting in delight

As you stood watching, Yoongi walked up beside you and called to his brothers, saying it was time to go

A little disappointed, you told him you were just about to try the zip-line and asked if there was time

He thought for a moment, then nodded

“For you, we’ll make time,” He said, “Go ahead.”

You smiled brightly at him, thanking him, and the corner of his mouth lifted

You asked him if he wanted to try too, but he declined, so as soon as the line was free, you ran over to take your turn

The ride wasn’t very fast and your feet skimmed the ground, but it was still fun to zip through the air

You waved at the boys, laughing happily as you flew by, and they waved back

Jogging up to them after your ride, you told Yoongi that he should reconsider and assured him that it was fun and not scary at all

He just shook his head, “Watching you have fun is enough fun for me.”

It was exactly the kind of thing you’d expect him to say, but the fact that he actually said it caused you to smile even wider

To the Observatory

As you headed back to the car, Yoongi asked Taehyung if he was driving 

Taehyung seemed surprised, so you volunteered instead, insisting you didn’t mind

He thanked you as you got behind the steering wheel and he and Jin squeezed into the back while Yoongi sat up front

After some quick adjustments to the seat, mirrors, and wheel, you turned the engine over and pulled away

A few miles down the highway, Yoongi remarked that you were a good driver

You were pleased that you impressed him, but admitted you were being extra careful because you were hauling some very precious cargo

Yoongi and Taehyung laughed, and Jin agreed that chauffeuring World Wide Handsome was a big responsibility

Not much later, you reached the road up to the observatory that was your next destination and the producers asked you to wait for the camper van team to catch up

So you pulled over to the side of the road and parked

While you waited, Jin opened a bag of mandarin oranges and shared them around

And you ended up peeling them for everyone as you had the longest fingernails

Soon enough, the camper drove up behind you, and you started up toward the observatory

The view along the drive was beautiful, and Yoongi observed that it was so perfect that it looked like computer-generated scenery from a movie

You agreed, and wondered if this was a filming location for The Lord of the Rings, telling the boys how you watched it on your plane ride

As you drove higher and higher, Yoongi asked if anyone else felt a little breathless and like they were getting a headache 

Thankfully, you didn’t, but Jin said he did

Not missing an opportunity to tease his hyung, Yoongi called the boys in the camper over the walkie-talkie and told them that Jin had fainted

They laughed appreciatively at Yoongi’s joke and understood his implied warning about altitude sickness

You climbed higher still, curving back and forth, until you finally reached the top, pulling into a gravel parking lot at the peak of the mountain

The sun was just starting to set, and not wanting to miss the sight, you all rushed to exit the vehicles

You hurried across the lot after the boys, pulling out your phone to get some pictures and, in your haste, you didn’t think to grab your coat

Warmth

The shutter click of Hoseok’s phone as he snuck a picture of you and Yoongi woke you from your reverie, and your fingers quickly slipped apart

For a brief moment, you had forgotten about the other boys, about the cameras, and about everything in the world except how it felt to have Yoongi hold your hand

Being abruptly brought back to reality made you a little self-conscious, and your cheeks suddenly felt hot

But before you could notice how Yoongi felt, Jimin called to him, asking him to climb up next to him on one of the boulders lining the bluff

With a subtle glance back at you as he walked away, Yoongi complied, leaving your side

So you let go of a breath you didn’t know you’d been holding, and laughed as Jimin wrapped Yoongi’s arms around his waist, recreating the Titanic pose

Waiting for Nightfall

After several minutes of admiring the sunset and taking plenty of pictures, you finally fetched your coat from the SUV and regrettably returned Yoongi’s to him

Then you and the boys decided to head up the path to the observatory 

When darkness fell, you would be able to observe the stars, but until then, you had some time to kill

Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook hung out outside, dancing energetically to “Chicken Noodle Soup”

But you, Yoongi, Jin, and Namjoon wanted to wait somewhere warm, so you went inside the lounge, ordered some hot drinks, and settled around a table

As you sipped your cocoa, you expressed your excitement to the boys

You’ve always loved star-gazing, you told them

You had glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling of your childhood bedroom and read books about constellations

You even once considered a career in astronomy - until you found out it was more math and science than actually looking at the stars

Yoongi listened attentively while you spoke, seeming interested in everything you had to say

Then Namjoon asked how you made the leap from astronomy to interior design 

You shrugged, saying you grew up and your interests changed

Yoongi nodded thoughtfully, then speculated that both professions require an eye for beauty, so maybe it wasn’t such a stretch

You smiled at his logic as he met your gaze, and you wondered if he knew that you thought his face was one of the most beautiful things you’d ever seen

Eventually, Namjoon wandered outside to herd the other boys into the lounge

They joined you at the table, and all eight of you enjoyed your drinks together as night fell

Starry Night

When it was finally dark enough, you and the boys made your way outside and were immediately amazed by the abundance of stars

The film crew turned off their lights, increasing the darkness to give you a better view, and your stunned faces shone dimly in the starlight

The millions of twinkling stars were so clear and felt so close that you decided the sky must hang lower in this corner of the world

Looking through a telescope brought the radiance of the stars into even sharper relief, and you couldn’t help but gasp at the sight

Yoongi chuckled at your excited reaction, but when he peered through the viewpiece, his exclamations were even more enthusiastic than yours 

After taking your turns with the telescope, you joined Namjoon and Jungkook, sitting on the ground and marveling together at the grandeur of nature

Jungkook was again attempting to take a good picture of the sky, and when he laid back in the grass to get a better angle, you, Yoongi, and Namjoon laid down too

Gazing up at the stars had a way of putting things into perspective, making you feel tiny and insignificant, and special and lucky at the same time

You voiced your thoughts to Yoongi, your voice barely above a whisper, your shoulders pressed together 

“I still can’t believe I’m here,” You told him, “I still can’t believe I’m actually here... with you.”

He didn’t say anything in response and you couldn’t make out his expression in the dark, but you heard him shift, then felt his hand find yours

He wove your fingers together, holding your hand between his side and yours, and you felt like you could fly up into the heavens from his touch alone

But before you could soar away, an observatory guide called for your group to gather around

Reluctantly, you sat up, and Yoongi helped pull you to your feet, dropping your hand as soon as you were standing

But he stood close by you, your sides often brushing, as the guide pointed out the Milky Way and various constellations

A Home-Cooked Meal

At the conclusion of your star tour, you all graciously thanked your guide, and you headed for your vehicles

Yoongi volunteered to drive this time, and you happily relaxed in the passenger’s seat as he wound the SUV back down the mountain road

Your accommodation for the night was another cabin, though this one was much smaller

There were two rooms of bunks and one private room with a large bed

It was unanimously decided that the private room was yours, though the boys all seemed envious

They drew ladders on a piece of paper to decide bunks, and Jimin and Jungkook ended up in the smaller of the two rooms, while the rest of the boys shared the other

Once rooms were divided, everyone pitched in to bring in the luggage and groceries, and you helped Yoongi organize the food spread out across the table

You then assumed the role of sous chef, chopping vegetables and handing ingredients and tools to Chef Min as he began cooking dinner

Jungkook lingered in the tiny kitchen too, offering his help to you and Yoongi at every opportunity

The limited space in the kitchen meant the three of you had to work together closely, bumping elbows and reaching around each other often, but no one seemed to mind

There existed between all of the boys a synergy born of comfort and familiarity, and though it was only the second night, in this moment you felt seamlessly included in it

And it was feeling you greatly appreciated

While Yoongi stirred the meat in a pot on the stove, you watched over his shoulder as he explained his recipe, but you were only half listening

The other half of your mind was buzzing, preoccupied with enjoying being close to him - and fantasizing about the two of you cooking together every night

When dinner was ready, everyone sat down at the table and dug in, thanking you, Yoongi, and Jungkook for cooking, and praising the delicious food

As you enjoyed your own bowl of Yoongi’s kimchi jjigae, you took an added measure of secret pleasure in that fact that you were eating his food for the very first time

You’d seen him cook in enough videos to be intensely curious to try something he made, and the experience did not disappoint

The savory taste warmed you from your head to your toes, and you immediately knew that Yoongi’s cooking was definitely something you could get used to

Another Night in NZ

After dinner, Taehyung took charge of doing the dishes, Hoseok started loading things back into the camper, Yoongi and Jungkook wanted to wash up, and you decided to assist Hoseok while you waited for your turn to shower

Hoseok was as animated as usual as you helped him organize supplies in the camper, making his own sound effects while putting everything away

“Hobi?” You asked him, stuffing a stack of paper napkins into one of the numerous cubbies, “Can I ask you something?”

“Of course,” he replied automatically, still humming

You hesitated

You wanted to ask him about Yoongi, to confess your feelings for him and ask Hoseok if he thought he liked you too, or if he was just being nice

But you suddenly remembered the cameraman crammed in the camper with you

Were it not for your every word and move being recorded, you would have no reservations sharing your feelings with Hoseok

You needed someone to confide in, and he had already made it clear that he was your unspoken ally

Even your subtlest interactions with his hyung had not escaped his notice, and in your gut you knew you could trust him

But as it was, you couldn’t be completely open with him

At least, not yet

So instead, you asked him to send you the picture he took, the one of the sunset

He paused, finally looking at you, clearly understanding which picture you meant, and gave you a conspiring smile

Both of you then finished your task and reentered the cabin, hopefully leaving the production crew none the wiser

It was late and you were tired and the bathroom was finally free when you returned, so you took a quick shower and prepared for bed

After drying your hair and dressing in your pajamas, you opened your bedroom door to say goodnight to the boys and found Yoongi standing there

He had one hand raised, about to knock, and the other held a steaming mug

“Jimin made tea,” he explained, holding the cup out to you

You accepted it with a grateful smile, taking a small sip, and he nodded, clearing his throat

He then thanked you for your help that day, with shopping, driving, and cooking

You let him know it was your pleasure, and thanked him for another unbelievable day

His eyes met yours, a small smile pulling at his lips

“My pleasure.” He repeated back to you, and your heart did the thing

Hoping you weren’t blushing, you bid him and the others goodnight, then settled into your room for the evening

You drank your tea in bed, snuggled under the covers, and as soon as you finished, you sank deeper into the blankets, attempting to sleep with thoughts of Min Yoongi filling your head

You weren’t sure how he was feeling

Maybe he was just being nice because he knew he was your bias

Maybe he genuinely liked you, but just as a friend

Or maybe - just maybe - he felt the same as you

You hoped so

You really hoped so

Because you…

You were already falling for him

And you were falling fast and hard

Part Ten - Epilogue

Your mouth hung open as you stared unblinking at the television, your eyebrows pulled together in confusion.

“What is even happening right now? I’m so lost…”

You pointed to the actress on the screen, looking to Yoongi for an explanation.

“Wait, didn’t she die? And why does she look so different?”

He just chuckled at your expression.

“Seriously, how do I not remember any of this?” You asked him. “Are you sure this is where we left off? Maybe we need to go back an episode.”

Yoongi shook his head, still smiling.

“No, I’m sure. But you probably don’t remember because last time we watched it you were too busy trying to get me to kiss you.”

At his words, the memory flashed through your mind, and you felt a pang in your gut.

“Ah… right.” You looked down, remembering the feel of Yoongi’s lips on yours, the feel of his hands on your skin. His touch was something you hadn’t experienced in weeks.

Though you spoke regularly while he was away and most things were now back to normal between you, the physical intimacy you used to share had yet to be reestablished. Agreeing to “see where things go” left a lot of grey area, and you weren’t exactly sure how to navigate this particular aspect of repairing your relationship.

When Yoongi arrived at your apartment earlier tonight, you’d wanted to embrace him, to throw your arms around him and kiss him all over his face, but you’d held back. When he sat down on the couch, you’d wanted to snuggle up right next to him, but you chose the seat at the other end instead. You wanted so badly to touch him, but out of respect for his boundaries (and, admittedly, out of fear of rejection), you tried your best to be patient, and let him set the pace.

But you’d missed him so much, it was hard to wait.

Noticing your distraction, Yoongi reached for the remote to pause the show. Pushing the button and setting the controller back down, he scooted across the couch to sit on the cushion beside you. His voice was low when he spoke.

“I can start the episode over if you think that would help,” He said, gazing up at you with an unreadable expression, “Or…” His hand rested on your thigh, his thumb rubbing circles into the fabric of your jeans, “I could just kiss you before we give the show another try.”

You inhaled sharply, looking Yoongi in the eyes. He searched your face for permission, lifting his fingers to sweep a strand of hair from your face. You nodded slightly, and he licked his lips.

Slowly, Yoongi leaned in, and your eyes fluttered closed as his nose brushed your cheek. You felt him press a small kiss to the corner of your mouth, and a quiet gasp escaped your lips. Then both of his hands lifted your chin, and you found your mouth flush with his.

Yoongi kissed you gently, his lips soft and still, his fingers light on your face. It was not a passionate kiss. There was no hunger or lust.

But as always, your heart responded.

Here, it said. Here is where you’re supposed to be.

“I’ve been wanting to do this,” Yoongi murmured, pulling away only far enough to breathe against your lips, “For a while now.”

You silently agreed, your pulse pounding loud enough to hear.

“I know I said we’d see where things go,” Yoongi continued breathlessly, “But jagi... I can already see. This is where I want to be.”

He leaned back, his dark eyes captivating your gaze.

“Jagi… I love you.” His words were spoken through a pout. “You’re everything to me.”

With a swell of emotion, you pressed another kiss to his full lips, and felt a tear trickle down your cheek.

“I love you, too,” You exhaled, both of your hands grasping his wrists, “Even though I don’t deserve you, you are everything to me. You are the most caring, most loving, most forgiving, most selfless man that I know.”

Yoongi wiped the tear from beneath your eye.

“You know that’s why I love you, yeah?” He asked, his thumb tracing your bottom lip.

“Why’s that?”

“You see the best in me. You know I’m not perfect, you’ve seen me at my worst, on my darkest days. You know all my flaws and imperfections, and you never hold them against me. You accept me, for all that I am, and see the man I try so hard to be.”

Overcome, you wrapped your arms around Yoongi, and he buried his face in your shoulder.

“This is going to sound cliché,” You said by his ear, “But you are perfect, to me.”

He laughed softly, his hands moving smoothly down your back. When he reached your waist, he slid them up again, his fingers gliding under your shirt and across your skin. You shivered, a shot of adrenaline surging through your veins as his breath danced across your neck.

Then Yoongi sat back, pushing up the hem of your shirt just enough to see your tattoo.

“I don’t think I ever properly told you,” He touched the black lines reverently, “But I really do love your tattoo.”

You smiled slowly at Yoongi, your love for him brimming like the happy tears in your eyes.

“Can you just promise me one thing, though?”

You nodded, “Anything.”

“If you ever decide to get another tattoo, will you take me with you?”

You laughed, moving in to kiss his pout, and Yoongi grinned against your lips.

Settling your head against his chest, he combed his fingers through your hair and you felt his heart beating as hard as your own. He pulled you closer, snuggling into you, and as he kissed the top of your head, you felt so incredibly secure knowing that your separation had finally come to an end. There was no longer any degree of impermanence. Yours was a love that was going to last... longer than the permanent ink in your skin.

Part Eight

Rise and Shine

A knock on your bedroom door woke you from a deep sleep

As you rubbed your eyes blearily, Namjoon spoke from the other side of the door, letting you know it was time to get up

You acknowledged him, then heard him walk away

Stretching, you tried to remember the dream you’d just been in, but it had already fled your memory

All you could recall was that it was about Yoongi, and it was a good dream

Anxious to see the real Yoongi, you threw back your covers and hurried to get ready for the day

You found him with Namjoon and Hoseok in the main room, already dressed and getting ready to leave

And once again, Yoongi looked cuter than anyone had a right to in his headband, plaid shirt, khakis, and boots

The boys greeted you with kind faces, and your heart was warmed by the sight

You bid them good morning, then moved to help Yoongi clear off the dining table

Not looking up from his task, he passed you a granola bar and water bottle as you approached

You thanked him with a grin, then jokingly asked if he already ate or if he was going to do some more fasting cardio today

His lips twitched into almost a smile, and he replied that he’d had some mandarins and a granola bar too

The remaining boys wandered out eventually, and together you made quick work of packing up

Before you headed out, everyone gathered around to do your Bon Voyage chant to start the day, then you divided into vehicles 

Yoongi opted to drive the SUV, and you rode shotgun on the way to the grocery store

More Shopping

At the store, you and Yoongi worked together again, now like a well-practiced team

The others meandered up and down the aisles, leaving the two of you to collect all the ingredients for another dinner

As you browsed the sauce section, Yoongi casually asked you what your favorite food is

Pasta, you replied, of any kind

He nodded, agreeing that he could (and usually did) eat noodles everyday 

Choosing a jar of an Asian sauce you were unfamiliar with, Yoongi asked if you were enjoying Korean food or if you were tired of it yet

You were enjoying it, you told him, and you were particularly looking forward to his cooking again that night

He smiled at that, saying his food was nothing special, and when you begged to differ, he laughed

Later, while you were checking out, Hoseok noticed a coffee counter and asked for anyone who wanted coffee to raise their hand

Yoongi was distracted paying for the groceries, so you raised both your hands, telling Hoseok as he counted, “And Yoongi.”

You then helped Hoseok pass out the coffees, and Yoongi thanked you for ordering one for him

When you exited the grocery store, Taehyung wanted to show everyone else the zip-line that he, you, and Jin rode the day before

Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin, and Jungkook were excited to try it, but Yoongi still wasn’t interested, so you accompanied him to wait in the car

As you followed behind Yoongi, one of the producers sought your attention, and asked if you were sure you didn’t want to join the others

Caught off-guard, you said it was okay, you already rode the zip-line yesterday

The producer seemed unsure, but allowed you to continue, and you noticed Yoongi give him a look

“What was that about?” You asked Yoongi, when you were back inside the SUV

He shrugged, “He probably thought they needed more footage of you with all the members.”

You sensed there was more he wasn’t saying, but you chose not to press him

While you waited, you sipped your hot coffee, and talked about what you normally do for fun

You told Yoongi how you loved to travel, take photographs, watch movies, read books, and, when you were younger, play basketball

He was intrigued to hear you played basketball, and asked you all about being on your highschool team

You admitted your skills were only slightly above-average, and not what they used to be, but agreed to a friendly one-on-one game with Yoongi at the first opportunity

A Watercolor Lake

As soon as the other boys finished riding the zip-line and everyone was ready to go, Yoongi started the SUV down the road and Jungkook followed in the camper

In the backseat with his coffee and a snack bar, Jin asked if he looked a New Yorker eating breakfast

You, Yoongi, and Namjoon agreed that, actually, he looked like a native New Zealander

Then Yoongi remarked that he hadn’t had any of his coffee yet

Feeling bad, you offered to help him drink while he drove, but he said it was okay because the coffee was still too hot

On the way to your next destination, you drove by a large, beautiful lake, and you were all stunned by the striking turquoise color

Over the walkie-talkie, a producer informed you that it was Lake Pukaki, and asked if you wanted to stop to see it

Yoongi quickly responded that he’d rather keep going, but Jimin requested a stop on behalf of the camper team, so you all agreed to pull off the road

As you all walked to the water’s edge, Yoongi observed that the scene was like a watercolor painting, and you agreed

You were more and more amazed by New Zealand’s natural beauty at every turn

And having Yoongi and the boys by your side only made everything better

Yoongi then asked if anyone knew how to skip stones, and Jin, Jimin, and Jungkook started a competition

You tried your hand at skipping stones too, but found it was harder than it looked

So you gave up, and took some pictures instead

But when you tried to take a selfie in front of the lake, you were photobombed by Yoongi, Jungkook, and Taehyung, grinning and jumping in the background of your shot

Mount Cook Trek

When you were back on the road, you and the boys passed the time singing songs

After some miles, the peak of snowy Mount Cook - your destination - came into view

Jin and Namjoon wondered if any of their songs talked about mountains, and you were struck with inspiration 

Syncing your phone to the car’s speakers, you began playing “Spring Day,” and the boys agreed that it was the perfect song choice

Finally, you arrived at the head of the trail and met up with the camper team for an hour and a half trek to Mt. Cook’s glacier beds

Before you took off, you gathered around for another 360-degree camera shot and a Bon Voyage chant, then started down the trail 

You and Yoongi found yourselves with Jin at the front of the pack this time while the rest of the boys lagged behind

The trail was level and the sun was warm and it was an all-around pleasant and leisurely hike

After a little while, Yoongi expressed his regret that he didn’t apply sunscreen, and you quickly produced a tube from your pack

He thanked you as he took the sunscreen from you, amusedly commenting that you always seemed to anticipate his needs, and your stomach fluttered in response

About a third of the way up the trail, you encountered a metal suspension bridge spanning a rushing creek the same turquoise color as Lake Pukaki

You stepped onto the bridge first, and were startled when you felt it sway slightly under your feet

Close behind you, Yoongi placed a hand on your lower back, steadying you, and his proximity immediately comforted you - and thrilled you

He asked if you were okay, speaking low and close so only you could hear, and when you said you were fine, just surprised, he dropped his hand and you continued across

Another bridge soon followed, but this time you were prepared and walked steadily over it

After about an hour of paced trekking, Jin grew restless, and suddenly took off running

He called to you and the others to join him, but most of the boys were too tired and refused

Jimin and Namjoon were game though, and after exchanging a glance, you and Yoongi jogged behind them for a bit too

Eventually, you crossed a third bridge and hiked over a rocky ridge to finally reach the glacial valley

A stretch of hard snow lined the gravelly shore, and you and the boys walked on it, joking around and taking pictures in front of the majestic mountains

Then, tired after the hike, you took a seat on one of the bigger rocks and a few of the boys did too

Yoongi sat closest to you, and you watched in companionable silence as Jimin and Namjoon threw snow at each other in front of you

Jimin then came over by you and started stacking stones to make a little tower

You and Taehyung joined him, making your own stone stacks, and when you were all done, you each took a moment to make a wish

You reverently clasped your hands, looking heavenward as you stood by your tower, and wished, hoped, and prayed that Yoongi cared for you the way you cared for him

And, if he did, that he would let you know for sure soon

Completing your wish, you looked to Yoongi and found him observing you intently

And when he caught your gaze, the corner of his mouth lifted into the gentlest smile

Part Nine

To the Campsite

The hike back down the trail somehow felt longer than the hike up

In a hurry to get back to the vehicles, Jungkook went ahead, running all the way on his own

You, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Taehyung took your time walking back, and Yoongi decided it was a good thing you didn’t choose a lengthier trail

Still admiring the natural beauty all around, Taehyung commented that he wasn’t looking forward to leaving this amazing place in a few days

You felt a pang in your gut at the reminder that this unbelievable experience would eventually end

Leaving New Zealand and the boys - leaving Yoongi - and going back to real life were the last things you wanted to think about

Taking a positive view, Yoongi told Taehyung that he could always come back and that if he came when he was older, he could spend as much as time as he wanted

He then explained that he had lots of places he planned to visit when he was older for that reason, and you couldn’t help but wonder if your city was on his list

When you got back to the SUV, Taehyung volunteered to drive, so you and Yoongi climbed in the backseat and Jin sat in the passenger’s seat to navigate Taehyung to the night’s campsite

Comfort

Your mind was too full of thoughts for you to go back to sleep, but you kept your head on Yoongi’s shoulder, beneath his head, not wanting to disturb him - or break contact

But as you neared your campsite, Taehyung maneuvered onto a rough dirt road, and the bumps along the way jostled Yoongi awake

He sat up, stretching, and regrettably, you moved apart

But he gave you shy smile and asked if you slept well, and you nodded, your cheeks still warm

At the end of the road you were stopped by a metal gate, and Yoongi hopped out of the car to open it, letting your caravan in

The site was nothing more than a wide-open field, with a placid lake to the left and white mountains to the right, and the boys worried it would be cold overnight

But it was private and peaceful and beautiful and you couldn’t picture a better spot to stay the night

Setting Up Camp

The sun was already getting low as Taehyung and Jungkook parked, so everyone quickly set to work unloading the gear and setting up camp

Jimin, Jungkook, and Hoseok worked together to pitch the tents, Taehyung inflated air mattresses, Namjoon put up the camping chairs, Jin started arranging the fire supplies, and you helped Yoongi assemble tables  

The sun continued setting and twilight deepened as you worked, with the night’s darkness reaching its apex just as the boys secured the tarp over the bigger of the two tents

After the tables were all set up, Yoongi went to join Jin to get the fire started, but you noticed Hoseok pulling out cots and decided to help him, Jimin, and Jungkook put them together

Even with your combined efforts, it was a struggle to figure the cots out, so when the first one was finally done, Jungkook dove onto it in relief

Hoseok and Jimin immediately laid on top of him, laughing, and Taehyung and Namjoon quickly ran over to join the dogpile

Jungkook cried that the cot was going to break, but the boys encouraged you to climb on

Grinning, you gripped Namjoon’s shoulders and attempted to hoist yourself up, but the boys were already stacked too high

You slipped and plopped to the ground, landing on your behind

Yoongi called to you from the fireside, making sure you weren’t hurt

Breaking into a fit of giggles as the boys rolled off of each other, you called back, telling Yoongi that you were fine

Namjoon offered you his hand and pulled you up, helping you dust yourself off as Yoongi continued to watch

Thanking Namjoon as you walked away, you headed over to where Yoongi stood, getting the sense that he wanted you close to him

He frowned as you approached him, and he softly asked again if you were alright

You assured him that you were, but the concern in his eyes gave you butterflies

Seemingly satisfied, Yoongi returned his gaze to the fire, and you observed that he and Jin were still struggling to light the coals

Jungkook and Jimin were right behind you, and stepped up to take turns fanning the flames

Dinner and Drinks Around the Fire

Leaving the fire to the others, Yoongi went to gather the ingredients for dinner and invited you to assist him 

So once again, you happily acted as his sous chef, preparing vegetables and chicken as he began cooking dakbokkeumtang in a Dutch oven on the propane stove

Meanwhile, Jin boiled water over the finally-lit coals, and made a pot of ramyeon

When the ramyeon was ready, you and Yoongi joined the circle around the fire and everyone ate the hot noodles while your dish simmered

As soon as Yoongi finished his bowl, he set to work grilling pork belly over a brazier that Jungkook had lit, and you checked on the dakbokkeumtang

Finding the dish ready, you brought the pot over to the dining table and hailed Yoongi to come eat

He asked for a few more minutes to finish grilling and told you and the boys to start without him, but you all decided to wait

When the meat was finally ready, Yoongi brought it over and everyone eagerly began eating

He worried that the food was a little bland, but no one voiced any complaints, they only thanked you both for cooking

As for you, you again delighted in eating Yoongi’s food, and savored its warmth like a hug

With full bellies, you and the boys relaxed after dinner, enjoying a few drinks around the fire, talking, joking, and laughing together

Staring up at the stars, Jimin expressed that it still felt like a dream to him, to be there in that beautiful place together

And you smiled to yourself, silently noting how unknowingly accurate his statement was in reflecting your own feelings

The topic of conversation then changed as the boys decided not to shower before bed but lamented at how scruffy they’d probably appear on camera

You laughed, promising them that the fans watching would never think that, telling them that they even enjoy seeing them look more rugged and natural

As one such ARMY, you reminded them, you should know

The next discussion was regarding sleeping arrangements, and it was agreed that you, Yoongi, and Namjoon would stay in tents, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook would share the camper, and Jin would sleep in the SUV

Yoongi then decided he wanted coffee, and began brewing some instant powder in a pot over the brazier

You watched him as he poured packet after packet of powder into the hot water, admiring how he managed to be so cute even while performing such a simple task

Namjoon washed the ladle from dinner to serve the coffee, but when Yoongi tasted it, he found the spiciness of the dakbokkeumtang had seeped its way into the drink

Shame-faced, Namjoon apologized while the boys teased him, but everyone still drank the coffee

Then you all pitched in to clean up, the production crew called it a night, and one-by-one the boys wandered off to bed until you and Yoongi were the only ones left still awake

Staying Up Late

You had purposely lingered outside even though you were tired, secretly hoping for an opportunity to talk to Yoongi alone, without any cameras around

And it seemed he had the same idea

You sat together, side-by-side in the camping chairs, until the only sounds were the crackles and pops of the dying fire and the wind rustling through the grass

Finally confident that you were truly on your own, you gave a relieved sigh

After three days of constant filming, you had gotten somewhat used to the cameras and producers being all around, but now that they were gone...

You felt liberated

You looked to Yoongi and, finding him already looking back at you, you exchanged timid smiles

And your heart rate accelerated as you carefully considered what you wanted to ask him first

Comfort

Genre: Fluff

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader (Female)

Word Count: 0.62K

Summary: When you and Yoongi fall asleep in the backseat of the car, you overhear the boys in the front discussing your blossoming relationship.

Author’s Note: This little drabble can be read as a stand-alone, but it fits into a headcanon of mine where Yoongi meets you during season 4 of Bon Voyage. Also, if this story concept sounds familiar, it’s because I previously requested it from the lovely @sleepyjhs (You can read her adorable interpretation of my idea here).

Comfort

The drive to your campsite was long, and the afternoon sun shining through the windows made the backseat of the SUV feel pleasantly warm. The only sounds you could hear were the hum of the engine and the rumble of the tires on the road as Taehyung drove steadily down the smooth highway. Conversation in the car had dwindled a while ago, and as the picturesque New Zealand landscape whooshed by, you found yourself staring outside, not seeing anything as the day’s exertions began catching up to you. Your eyelids slid lower and lower, the growing weight of drowsiness settling upon you. Slumping down in your seat, you leaned your head back, and before you knew it, your eyes closed completely.

“Look, they’re asleep.”

Taehyung’s hushed voice sounded muffled, like you were hearing him underwater. Was this a dream? You were too cozy to care.

You squeezed your eyes shut tighter, snuggling down deeper, and in your half-conscious haze you barely noticed that your head now rested on someone’s shoulder.

“They’re both sound asleep.” Jin’s voice confirmed quietly.

In the back of your mind you registered that “both” must have included Yoongi, too, and you faintly grasped that you were leaning on his shoulder.

“They’re so cute.” Taehyung whispered, and Jin hummed in assent. “Have you ever seen hyung so comfortable with someone?”

“Only with our members.” Jin replied, his voice low.

“Maybe it was fate that she won the contest.” Taehyung mused. “I think they were meant to meet each other.”

“It will be interesting to see what happens.” Jin agreed.

You kept your eyes closed, but you were mostly awake now and trying to listen. It was difficult, though; you were so comfortable. Beneath you, Yoongi’s breathing continued evenly, his body heat and soft scent wrapping around you like a heavy blanket. The effect nearly lulled you back to sleep, but you were too invested in what the boys in front had to say to give in.

“They’ve been inseparable the past few days.” Taehyung added, and you could hear the smile in his tone. “You can tell hyung has a soft spot for her.”

Jin didn’t respond audibly, but you imagined him nodding his head, and you suddenly became aware that you were holding your breath. You exhaled as quietly as you could, trying to sound natural, like you were still asleep.

“You know I can hear everything you’re saying, yeah?”

You felt the words reverberate through Yoongi’s chest, and were surprised to realize he was the one who had spoken.

Soft chuckles were just distinguishable from the front seats as he laid his head down, resting it gently atop yours.

“Quiet down, you’re going to wake her.” Yoongi muttered, nuzzling securely against you then sighing deeply. 

His breathing quickly resumed a calm rhythm, and you were amazed that the pounding of your pulse didn’t rouse him.

So, this wasn’t a dream.

This - all of this - was real.

Tae and Jin, and Hobi, they could see it, too. It wasn’t just your imagination.

You and Yoongi had a connection.

He had an affinity, a “soft spot” for you.

Maybe it was fate that you won the contest. Only time would tell.

You knew Yoongi wasn’t one to rush things, and you didn’t want to pressure him, but just knowing that there was something real happening between the two of you… was immensely comforting.

Taking a few deep breaths, you intentionally relaxed every muscle in your body, allowing yourself to sink against Yoongi. His presence was all-encompassing, and just being with him soothed you. Slowly, your heart rate returned to normal, keeping perfect time with the rise and fall of Yoongi’s chest as the miles continued to fly by.

Part Ten

Fireside Chat

You had so many questions you wanted to ask Yoongi, not the least of which was how he felt about you

You wanted to know everything about him, all the things he didn’t share openly, the thoughts he didn’t voice in front of cameras

And you wanted to share everything about yourself with him

But you weren’t sure where to start

Staring at the grass beneath your feet, you remembered a random bit of trivia from your research before the trip

“Did you know that New Zealand doesn’t have any snakes?”

You thought Yoongi might laugh, but he responded with interest and a fact of his own: “I read there are nine sheep for every one person.”

After that, your conversation began flowing naturally, the lack of surveillance and distraction allowing you both to relax

You discussed all kinds of things, from your interests and your experiences, to your ideas and your hopes, and found more and more things in common

Your simple fireside chat quickly became one of the most enjoyable conversations you’d ever had

The way Yoongi responded to everything you had to say - listening carefully, nodding considerately, replying thoughtfully, and asking insightful questions - made it exceptionally easy to talk to him

Never before had you connected with someone so effortlessly

And never had Yoongi felt less like an untouchable idol and more like a real person to you than he did now

The two of you talked for over an hour, smiling and laughing casually, the occasional silences feeling comfortable instead of awkward

The night grew colder the lower the fire burned, and each of you declared several times that you should call it a night

But somehow the discussion just kept going, with neither of you making any moves toward your beds

Growing Closer

After a while, Yoongi surprised you by asking about your worries and fears

You told him that sometimes you worried you were living life too safely, and not taking enough risks

And you shared how sometimes you struggled to have confidence, to feel like you were good enough

He was empathetic, admitting he’d had the same feelings at times

But he assured you that you were bolder and braver than you realized

And a moment of quiet, pure, intimate understanding passed between you

Then you shook your head, saying you probably shared more than he wanted to know

Yoongi disagreed, replying softly, “I want to know everything about you.”

You looked up at him, and seeing the sincerity in his eyes warmed you against the chill in the air

You told Yoongi you were completely open, and asked what else he wanted to know

So he admitted that there was something he’d been wondering

He wanted to know why he was your bias, and the question caught you off-guard

You joked that it was because he’s so beautiful

But he scoffed, arguing that ARMYs think all the members are beautiful and that can’t be the only reason

No, you agreed, it wasn’t the only reason

It wasn’t even the main reason, but there were too many things you loved about Yoongi to list them all

But after you considered his question for a moment, you realized it really all came down to one thing

“It’s because you care.” You told him. “I mean, you’re really good at acting like you don’t, but you care so deeply.”

When a pensive wrinkle formed between Yoongi’s eyebrows, you explained that when you discovered BTS, you were having a really hard time

The group’s music and message and positivity really helped you through, but Yoongi…

He was the one who really lifted you up when nothing else could

He was just… so calm and comforting and…

Safe

You knew he had some real struggles in the past, but you admired the way he allowed his experiences to make him so patient and compassionate

And you knew he tried to hide his feelings because he didn’t want to burden anyone else, but that was just another example of how much he cares for others

You never thought you’d get to say these things to Yoongi in person, but since you had the chance now, you tried your best to express your feelings - and your gratitude - to him

When you finished speaking, you waited for Yoongi to say something

His mouth formed a line, and you worried that you’d said too much

Until he finally exhaled, remarking that you were quite perceptive

Then you had a question for Yoongi

You wanted to know how he felt when you told the boys that he’s your bias

He ran his hands back through his hair, and it was hard to tell in the faint orange glow of the coals, but his ears seemed to redden in embarrassment

He was definitely flattered, he confessed, and honored

He also felt humbled and grateful

And a little unworthy

But mostly he felt… lucky

That someone like you could feel that way about him

Meeting your gaze, he gave you half a smile, and it was your turn to blush

You then stifled a yawn, and Yoongi stretched, yawning too

He suggested that it was maybe time to really head to bed, and you reluctantly agreed

You would have loved nothing more than to stay up all night talking with him, but you knew morning was going to come bright and early and you both needed your sleep

Goodnight, Good Night

Wearily, you both stood and folded your camp chairs, and Yoongi doused the last embers in the fire pit

You then headed toward the tents together, stopping between the large one where Namjoon was already sleeping and the tiny one that was your private bedroom for the night

Wishing you didn’t have to, you said goodnight to Yoongi, and when you moved to give him a hug, he wrapped his arms around your waist

His cool cheek pressed against yours, your bodies completely flush as he held you securely, lingering

It was the longest, closest, tightest embrace you’d ever shared

And when you felt his fingertips lace into the ends of your hair where it hung down your back, a shiver ran up your spine

“Goodnight, noona,” he said, his warm breath tickling your ear

He leaned back then, his hands sliding down your arms to catch both of your hands

Looking at you from beneath heavy eyelids, he gave you another shy smile, his gums just barely showing as he squeezed your fingers

You returned his smile, your heart threatening to beat out of your chest

Then your hands slipped apart as you each turned toward your own tent

After unzipping the flap on your tent, you crawled inside and removed your boots, wiggling into your sleeping bag still fully dressed

As you settled in, you heard hushed voices, and lifting your head to better hear, you realized it was Yoongi and Namjoon

Their tent was so close and the walls were so thin that, even though they were practically whispering, you could just make out everything they were saying

Namjoon asked Yoongi if he’d been talking to you all this time

Yoongi confirmed that he had, and you could hear the ruffling of his sleeping bag as he climbed into it

Namjoon then observed that it was really late, and if Yoongi chose staying up with you over going to sleep, you must be pretty special

A low, affirmative rumble sounded from Yoongi, accompanied by a simple, concise “Yeah.”

Namjoon gave only an “mmm” in response, then everything went quiet

You continued to listen, straining your neck, but light snores soon began sounding from the other tent, telling you that the boys had fallen asleep

Sighing, you laid back against your pillow, adrenaline surging through your veins like a rushing wave

You immediately began reviewing the night’s conversation over and over again in your head, reconsidering and savoring every nuance

It had been a truly incredible night

If you weren’t already in love with Yoongi before, you certainly were now

And after what you just overheard…

You finally felt like you could allow yourself to believe that maybe

Just maybe

There was an actual chance he could be falling for you too

Author’s Note: Hot Tub Hotties. Yeah, I said it. And I have no regrets. 😂 So I know this story is all fluff and romance, but what fun is that without a little drama? Right, exactly. 😄 So, here’s the beginning of a teensy bit of angst and drama for you. Please enjoy!

Part Eleven

Up at Dawn

You had a hard time sleeping

Mostly because you were too excited after your late-night conversation with Yoongi, but also because you were cold and uncomfortable 

The cot you’d been provided was stiff, and even with all your clothes on, your sleeping bag barely kept you warm enough

But you were in no mind to complain

You’d sleep in an igloo if it meant spending another day with Yoongi and the boys

You didn’t remember falling asleep, but you must have eventually, because one minute your tent was completely dark, and the next it was flooded with light

You uncurled yourself from your sleeping position and stretched when you heard someone shuffling about the campsite

Crawling out of your tent into the bright daylight, you saw Yoongi, Hoseok, Taehyung, and Jin just getting up

When Yoongi saw you, his lips twitched into a smile and you exchanged quiet “good morning”s

And you noticed how just being around him made you feel instantly warmer

As you joined the others, Hoseok and Taehyung were complaining that the inside of the camper had gotten too hot

You said you were cold and would gladly trade one of them the next night, and they agreed

Jungkook, Jimin, and Namjoon soon appeared, and everyone set to work packing and loading up

While you worked, Yoongi asked if he could borrow your lip balm again

You found it and handed it to him with smile, but when he tried to apply it to his lips he whined that it was frozen solid

And you laughed at his cute pout

When everyone was ready to go, you and the boys gathered for a quick morning stretch and your traditional “Bon Voyage” chant

Then you divided into the vehicles and headed to the day’s first destination: an outdoor spa

Jin drove the SUV, Namjoon rode up front, and you squeezed between Yoongi and Taehyung in the back

As he drove, Jin asked Taehyung if he thought there was enough room in the camper for five people to sleep inside

Namjoon replied that Taehyung went to bed before anybody else so he wouldn’t know if it was cramped last night or not

Yoongi agreed that Taehyung went to bed early, and Namjoon smirked at both of you in the rearview mirror

“Unlike some people,” He teased

Yoongi gave him his most unimpressed look in return, and you tried your best to hide an embarrassed grin

A big bump in the dirt road jostled the car just then, and a few minutes later the production crew stopped you, telling you that the bicycle rack had fallen off the back of the SUV

You were all surprised you didn’t notice and weren’t sure what to do

After some discussion, the producers decided to pick up the bikes and bring them along with them, so you and the boys continued down the road

Hot Tub Hotties

When you arrived at the spa, the crew laid out shorts and t-shirts for you and the boys to wear in the hot tub

You’d brought your bathing suit, but you realized, as idols, the boys had to be careful about modesty

As soon as everyone was organized, you headed outside to the wood-fired tub nestled between a lake and the mountains

The sun was reflecting off the snow and shimmering across the water and it was a beautifully tranquil sight

There was a small dressing hut next to the hot tub, and you and the boys took turns changing your clothes

Though the provided short-sleeved shirt and shorts were long on you, you still felt somewhat exposed when you were dressed and waiting for the others

This was the least amount of clothing the boys had seen you wear

And vice versa

You couldn’t help but check Yoongi out, admiring the way his shirt and shorts fit his slim figure

And if you weren’t mistaken, he was having to try hard to not look at you, too

Jimin and Namjoon were the first to climb up the stairs and enter the hot tub

Jimin tensed at the heat of the water, but Namjoon said it was only warm

The remaining boys climbed in after them, and as soon as Yoongi was in the tub, he turned around to help you

Taking your hand, he made sure you felt steady as you stepped down into the water

The temperature was hotter than you expected, and several of the boys agreed, yelping and groaning as you all settled in

But you quickly adjusted and the water soon felt incredibly soothing as you sat between Yoongi and Jimin

The tub was a little crowded with all eight of you, but you didn’t mind the tight fit

And you really didn’t mind bumping elbows and brushing knees beneath the water with Yoongi 

You allowed yourself to relax, leaning back, and felt your muscles unwind after yesterday’s hike

After a few minutes, a crew member brought a lunch tray out and laid it on a table next to the hot tub

Jimin immediately climbed out to investigate and reported that it was salmon gimbap

Namjoon’s interest was piqued and, moving to the side of the tub to better see, he accidentally placed his hand on the heating element

Gasping, he snatched his hand away, and you immediately jumped up to check on him

Yoongi watched curiously as you grabbed Namjoon’s hand and turned it over, examining his palm as you cradled it in both of yours

Namjoon didn’t seem to be burned, and he assured you that only his pride was injured, so you returned to your seat, teasing him to be more careful

As you sunk back next to Yoongi, you felt him find your hand beneath the water

He interlocked your fingers and held on tight, out of sight from the others (and the cameras), and a feeling of excitement swelled within you 

You looked sideways at him, expecting to see him smiling shyly, but his expression was unreadable

He continued to hold your hand fast as the boys contemplated getting out and eating lunch, telling them he just wanted to enjoy soaking for a while

But then Jimin came up to the edge of the tub and began feeding everyone bites with his chopsticks like a mother bird feeding her chicks

You stood up, tugging Yoongi by the hand, and he reluctantly moved to get a bite with you

You weren’t a huge fan of seafood, but the granola bar you’d had on-the-go this morning had worn off a while ago and you were suddenly starving

So you happily accepted a piece of salmon from Jimin and were surprised how satisfying it tasted

Yoongi and the others seemed to feel the same way, so everyone filed out of the tub for a quick lunch break

The air felt especially cool as you all stood dripping on the ground, so you ate quickly, scarfing down the salmon and salad in a hurry to get back in the water

When you were satiated, you returned to the tub and, as you hoped, Yoongi again grasped your hand

Jimin then waded to the middle of the tub, and began rubbing everyone’s feet, joking about “his” spa being all-inclusive

You thought a foot massage sounded heavenly, but before your turn came, Namjoon suggested a water fight, and Jin immediately began splashing

The other boys joined without hesitation, spraying water everywhere, and you laughed, attempting to shield yourself

It was no use, though; when the fight ended a few moments later, you and Yoongi were both drenched, despite not participating 

So Yoongi decided it was time to get out and hit the showers, and you, Namjoon, Jin, and Taehyung followed him

Jungkook, Jimin, and Hoseok were reluctant to get out though, and lingered behind

A Simple Request

As you headed back toward the lobby, one of the producers pulled you aside

Yoongi and the others didn’t notice, and continued on their way to the showers

The producer said he needed to talk to you, and though he spoke gently, you could tell something was off

You shivered, pulling your towel tighter around your shoulders, and as you wondered if you were in trouble, you felt a growing sense of panic 

Did the cameramen catch you and Yoongi holding hands?

Were you going to be reprimanded for staying up together last night?

There was nothing in your contract about keeping your distance from the members (you’d read it carefully), but you were sure getting too close wasn’t encouraged either

“We’ve noticed you’ve been spending a lot of time with Suga,” The producer said, and the knot in your stomach tightened

You braced yourself, preparing for what came next

They wouldn’t send you home over this, would they?

The mere thought nearly knocked the wind out of you

But as the producer continued speaking, you understood what he was getting at, and your alarm faded a little

He explained that the reason they wanted a fan on the show was so that other fans could live vicariously through you

And in order to give ARMYs the full experience, you needed to interact equally with all of the members

So he kindly requested that you make an effort to spend more time with the other boys

Then he asked if you understood, and you nodded, sighing

“Okay, I’ll try,” You meekly agreed, and the producer nodded back, satisfied

You then continued on your way, heading inside feeling a little dazed

You took your time in the shower, overthinking your brief conversation with the producer as you thoroughly bathed

You weren’t exactly sure how to follow through with what you agreed to

And you worried that this might affect whatever good thing was developing between you and Yoongi

Your swirling thoughts slowed you down, and by the time you were dressed and ready, most of the boys had already headed out to the vehicles

Yoongi was climbing into the driver’s seat of the camper van, and Jimin and Namjoon were getting in with him

When you followed them, Namjoon said they saved you the front seat, but you told him you’d rather ride in the back

So he suggested Jimin sit up front so he wouldn’t get carsick, and you and he sat down at the table

Yoongi glanced back at you questioningly, but all you could do was shrug and give him an apologetic look

With a small pout, he turned back to the steering wheel and began inspecting the controls

When he couldn’t figure out how to shift into “drive,” Namjoon radioed Jungkook for instructions and he sent Hoseok over

Hoseok quickly showed Yoongi what to do, then as he exited out the back he gave you a curious look too

And again all you could do was shrug

You wanted to tell Yoongi what the producer said and what he’d asked of you, but you really weren’t sure when you’d get the chance

You didn’t want Yoongi to think you were suddenly avoiding him, but you were afraid that until you were able to talk privately, that’s exactly what was going to happen

And the thought that you might unintentionally hurt Yoongi’s feelings…

Made you feel like you might be carsick

Part Twelve

The Anticipation Builds

Your next stop was the one you’d been both looking forward to and dreading the most

The Nevis Swing

As you and the boys arrived at the outbuilding and began registering at the counter, you were still trying to decide if you wanted to do it

Videos of people on the swing were playing on TVs in the lobby, and as you watched your anxiety doubled

Hoseok was vacillating too, and attempting to persuade Jimin and Yoongi to participate

He tried to convince them that this was a rare opportunity, that they should take advantage of it and make memories

Jimin joked that they’d be bad memories, and Yoongi said there wasn’t even a 0.1 percent chance of him doing it

When Namjoon was done signing up, he asked you if you’d made up your mind and reminded you of his offer to ride with you

You wanted to chicken out, but you knew Hoseok was right; you might never get a chance like this again

“Okay,” You told Namjoon, “Let’s make some memories.”

He was pleased with your decision, and gave you a winning smile as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders

You looked to Yoongi where he was sitting on the couch, and found him watching you, his brow furrowed

You gave him what you hoped was a placating smile, but he didn’t return it as he tousled his hair

And your anxiety increased for a completely different reason

Once all the participants were weighed and fitted with harnesses, it was time to head out to the platform

Jimin stepped onto the suspension bridge first, and quickly observed that it was wobbly

The bridge was hundreds of meters in the air, and as you followed behind Namjoon, you gripped the guardrails until your knuckles turned white

You tried to not look down and just focus on moving forward, but your heart was racing and you were already rethinking your decision to try the Nevis swing

If you couldn’t even handle crossing to the platform, there was no way you could handle jumping off

You hesitated, squeezing your eyes shut, and the person behind you asked if you were alright

You didn’t have to turn around to know it was Yoongi, you would know the throaty rumble of his voice anywhere

You could feel him standing right behind you, and felt his hand hold the small of your back

He breathed a reassurance in your ear, and you opened your eyes

In front of you, Namjoon had noticed you lagging behind, and he was turned around to offer you his hand

Impulsively, you snatched his hand and clung to him, not noticing Yoongi’s deepening expression as Namjoon helped you along

The Nevis Swing

When you finally reached the platform, you and the boys took seats on the observation deck and you sat between Namjoon and Taehyung, feeling slightly more secure

The fact that you didn’t sit next to Yoongi, again, didn’t escape his notice

He had obviously grown just as used to you being next to him as you had

You hated having to distance yourself from him and you were afraid his feelings were hurt

But you were too overwhelmed by your escalating nervousness right at that moment to focus on him

Within moments of sitting down, the safety attendants called for the first jumpers, and Jungkook volunteered you and Namjoon

Your heart immediately leapt into your throat and you quickly shook your head

There was no way you were jumping first

Seeing your reaction, Jin and Hoseok offered to go

They moved over to the jumping-off point and you all did the “Bon Voyage” chant to hype them up

Jin and Hoseok were obviously both nervous, but they put on brave faces

You watched closely as they were hooked up and given instructions, trying to familiarize yourself with the process

When Jin and Hoseok were both fastened in the swing, they leaned back and their feet lifted off the platform, leaving them hanging in the air

The other boys stood with phones and GoPros poised and ready to film, and everyone started counting down from five

As soon as “one” was called, Jin and Hoseok went flying backward

As they swung over the vast canyon, you and the others shouted as loud as them until they were only dots in the distance

While they were being towed back up, you could tell that they genuinely enjoyed the ride

And you tried to talk yourself up, telling yourself that if they could do it, then so could you

Feeling slightly more confident, you nodded to Namjoon and you both stepped up when the attendants called for another pair of jumpers

He spoke comforting words to you as you waited for your turn, saying, “I think it’ll be fun,” and “Let’s enjoy it,” as he hugged you to his side

And when Jin and Hoseok returned to the platform, they said it wasn’t bad and was only scary for 2-3 seconds

So you focused on your breathing, attempting to calm yourself while the attendant secured you and Namjoon in the swing

Let’s Jump!

Your heart slamming against your ribcage, you tried your best to avoid looking across the ravine, and searched out Yoongi’s face among the spectators instead

You found him wearing another indecipherable expression, but when he saw you finally looking at him, the corners of his mouth lifted into an encouraging smile

Then your toes slipped off the platform and you and Namjoon dangled over the edge

The countdown started, and one of your hands released its tight-fisted grip on the support straps, clutching Namjoon’s without volition

He grasped your hand securely in his bigger one, and before you could take another breath

You began to free fall

Your eyes slammed shut and your stomach felt like it flew out of your body

Air rushed all around you, dampening the sound of Namjoon’s excited shouts, and you squeezed his hand with bone-crushing tightness

But before you knew it, you felt your velocity decreasing as the swing reached the end of its arc

You dared to open your eyes, and you were immediately consumed by a feeling of exhilaration

You swung slower and slower, eventually coming to a stop still far above the ground

Letting go of your held breath, you made a conscious effort to take in every sight and sound and feeling, reveling in the adrenaline rush

You were so glad that you’d found the courage to swing

But you were also really glad that it was over

You looked to Namjoon, exchanging beaming smiles, and expressed your sincere gratitude to him for helping you to experience this

And he told you that he was proud of you, and honored to have made this memory with you

When you were safely back on the platform, you finally released Namjoon’s hand, but gave him a tight hug and thanked him again

The other boys then surrounded you, praising and congratulating you

Their excited voices all overlapped, but you distinctly heard Yoongi exclaim that you were incredible

You looked up, your gazes meeting, and in a softer tone he said that you were amazing

And the feeling his words gave you was remarkably similar to the feeling you’d just had as you swung through the air

Your adventure over with, you reclaimed your seat on the observation deck, sighing in relief as you sat next to Jimin

Taehyung’s turn on the swing was next, and he was feeling anxious too

Trying to encourage him, you told him it would be over before he knew it and that the rush he’d feel would be worth it 

Namjoon then offered to go with him too, and Taehyung gratefully accepted

You observed contentedly as Taehyung then Jungkook experienced the thrill of the swing, and as both Taehyung (emboldened after conquering the swing) and Jungkook took turns on the catapult

Jimin giggled gleefully next to you as he watched, leaning against you as he laughed with his whole body, and his mood was infectious

So despite the nagging worry that you were causing the tiny frown that occupied Yoongi’s face every time you weren’t interacting directly with him, you had fun for the duration of your time on the platform

Shopping, Again

On the shuttle bus back from the Nevis swing outbuilding, the producers explained that part of your group would be heading to the store while the others went ahead to set up camp for the night

Namjoon, Taehyung, and Jungkook needed personal things from the store, so they all opted to go

And Yoongi had to go, because he would be cooking dinner again tonight

But when Yoongi looked to you to agree to join them, you hesitated

You knew he expected you to help him shop for and prepare dinner

It had gotten to be kind of your thing, something the two of you did together

But you felt the watchful eyes of the producers behind the camera, and you weren’t sure what to do

You wondered aloud if you should maybe go with the camping team instead, to help set up

But Hoseok spoke up, insisting that he, Jin, and Jimin could handle it

You should go shopping, he told you, giving you a pointed look

Silently thanking Hoseok - and not wanting to argue with him - you agreed, and Yoongi looked satisfied

Once the shuttle reached the parking lot, you split up, and the shopping group packed into the SUV

Jungkook wanted to drive and Taehyung joined him up front, leaving you no choice but to awkwardly wedge yourself between Yoongi and Namjoon in the backseat

Yoongi was particularly quiet on the ride to the store, giving only single-word answers whenever anyone tried to talk to him

And he made himself as small as possible so that your side and his barely even touched

Which caused the carsick feeling you’d experienced earlier to return

You hated this

You had been afraid Yoongi would close himself off, that he would regret starting to open up to you if he thought you no longer wanted to be around him

And it seemed as though your fears were quickly being realized

You were bursting to explain why you’d been avoiding him all afternoon, to tell him that you had no choice

But the dashboard camera directly in front of you, with its blinking green light and all-seeing lens, kept you silent

Finally, after what felt like an hour but was probably only a few minutes, Jungkook pulled into a parking spot at the grocery store

Inside, you set off on your own, telling Yoongi you’d grab half the ingredients while he grabbed the other half to save time

He nodded, seemingly resigned, and you headed in the direction of curry powder

A little later, when you had everything you needed, you searched for the others in order to deposit your items into the shopping cart

You found Yoongi and Taehyung waddling down an aisle under the direction of a filming Jungkook, and you couldn’t help but smile at how adorable they were

Catching up to the them, you dropped your armful of ingredients into the basket, and Jungkook asked you to accompany him to the haircare products aisle

You agreed, and as you followed him, Taehyung led an idling Yoongi down the aisle with his hands on his hyung’s shoulders

After helping Jungkook select a hair serum for his long locks, you met up with the rest of the boys in the checkout line and paid for your groceries

Another Drive

When you were done shopping and heading back to the SUV, Yoongi walked out ahead and reached the driver’s seat before Jungkook

Jungkook said he didn’t mind driving, but Yoongi claimed he felt like taking a turn behind the wheel

So with a heavy sigh, you climbed into the backseat with Namjoon, and Jungkook got in next to you

And you felt even more squished between his broader shoulders and Namjoon’s

During the drive to the campsite, Taehyung wondered if the North Island or the South Island of New Zealand is bigger, and Namjoon informed him that they’re similar in size

Speaking for the first time since you’d left the store, Yoongi added that the whole of New Zealand is 1.5-1.8 times bigger than all of Korea

You looked up at that, observing Yoongi’s face in the rearview mirror

You had told him that fact

The night before, when you were exchanging random bits of trivia

He had been impressed that you knew that

But why had he felt compelled to share it now?

He met your gaze momentarily in the mirror, but his eyes conveyed no answers

Then Jungkook changed the subject, saying he wished he had the freedom to spend a month here, a month there, traveling from city to city and enjoying everything each place had to offer

The other boys acknowledged that kind of lifestyle had its appeal

But when Yoongi said Korea is still the best place, they had to agree

Your hands twisting together in your lap, you recalled your brief visit to Korea over a month ago

What little you had seen of the country had been amazing, and you very much wanted an excuse to go back

You communicated this hope to the boys, still watching Yoongi’s reflection

“I could definitely see myself staying there for a month. Or longer.” You told them, as Yoongi looked up at you again

And you desperately hoped that he understood what you wanted to - but couldn’t - say

Affection

Word Count: 0.79K

Summary: When it comes to expressing affection, sometime actions speak louder than words.

Author’s Note: This story can be read as a stand-alone, but also fits into a headcanon of mine where Yoongi meets you during season 4 of Bon Voyage.

Affection

Yoongi gave a small, self-conscious chuckle, touching his ears.

“I thought you’d decided that you like Namjoon-ah better than me.”

You blinked.

A cold breeze blew through the empty, starlit campsite, but your face felt flushed. You glanced at the camper van where you knew Namjoon was in bed, and you hoped no one was listening.

“You thought… You think that... I like Namjoon?” You couldn’t help but scoff.

Yoongi shrugged and looked away, reverting to acting unbothered.

“I see the way you are with him. Whenever he does something destructive, you’re right there, taking care of him. You’ve barely left his side all day.”

That was fair. You had shown a greater measure of affection to Namjoon than any of the other boys - especially today. But Yoongi had to know that your feelings for him and your feelings for Namjoon couldn’t be more different… right?

“What am I supposed to think?” Yoongi continued, chewing his bottom lip. “He was your bias first.”

“Wait, hang on,” You considered his words, amusement seeping into your tone as you realized what he was implying, “Are you saying… Min Yoongi, are you jealous?” You couldn't resist teasing.

His expression turned into a pout.

He was. He was totally jealous.

Maybe you needed to make yourself perfectly clear.

“Honestly, I do care for Namjoon. A lot.” You admitted. “But just as a friend.” 

Yoongi finally looked you in the eyes, his face inclined.

“I promise you, Yoongi, you have absolutely no reason to be jealous.” You continued, your voice softening.

An incredulous huff escaped Yoongi, and he dropped his gaze to the ground, slowly shaking his head. 

“Of anyone.” You felt compelled to add. “Ever.”

When Yoongi lifted his face to look at you again, a smirk curled the corner of his mouth. You expected him to say something, but he just took a quick step in your direction. You froze in place, your breath catching as he closed the gap between you and took a hold of your face in a single motion, tipping up your chin. Then with a flit of his tongue over his perfect lips, Yoongi brought your mouth to him, capturing your bottom lip between both of his.

You inhaled deeply, your eyes falling shut as Yoongi kissed you. Every nerve in your body seemed to simultaneously ignite the instant your mouths made contact. All thoughts fled your mind, leaving only feelings, like the flutter awakening in your tummy and the swelling of your heart in your chest.

Smoothing his thumbs over your cheekbones, Yoongi pulled you closer, causing the slick surfaces of your jackets to rustle as they brushed together. The gentle, steady pressure of his kiss allowed you to savor the warmth and softness of his unmoving mouth, and you could just discern the taste of wine still lingering on his lips.

Your hands lifted instinctively, but before you could grasp his wrists to hold him to you, he leaned back, breaking the kiss after only a few seconds. Your lips were reluctant to part so soon. His mouth had pressed to yours just long enough to acquaint you with the pleasure of his kiss, then leave you longing for more.

But as Yoongi dropped his hands and stepped back, you slowly regained your senses, remembering where you were and that you weren’t exactly alone.

His smirk had become a shy smile, and a matching smile spread slowly across your face as you laid a hand over your heart, feeling it pounding against your palm. Yoongi ruffled his hair, his tongue in his cheek as he stood there, looking awkward and adorable. He drew in a breath, and you attempted to do the same, noticing you were feeling a little lightheaded.

He had caught you completely off guard. You’d often imagined kissing Min Yoongi, even long before you met him, but you never thought your desires would be realized. Even though the possibility became infinitely more real when you did meet him, and increased as you grew close to him, you still hadn’t expected him to kiss you anytime soon - least of all tonight. 

It was difficult to conceive that Yoongi’s feelings for you were already strong enough for him to initiate such intimate affection. He was usually one to take his time, and you’d only just allowed yourself to believe he could be developing romantic feelings for you at all.

But his actions spoke loud and clear.

“Aish, noona,” He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck, “What you do to me...”

Your smile brightened as your racing heart leapt. You hadn’t known exactly what you did to him, but after the way he just kissed you…

You had a much better idea.

Part Thirteen

Making Camp

Darkness had descended over the campsite by the time you and the boys returned from the store

As Yoongi parked the SUV and you climbed out of the backseat, you were surprised to find that Jimin had already set up the tents and Jin was starting a fire

As everyone pitched in to unload the groceries and make camp, Namjoon started getting cold, so he went to grab his coat from inside the camper

He returned wearing a parka that looked a lot like yours and holding two more jackets in his hands

When he got closer, he handed the jackets to you and Jin, but you realized he was wearing your coat and Jin said his was in the SUV

Laughing and teasing Namjoon about the mix up, you swapped around until everyone had the right jacket

Namjoon apologized as he helped you pull yours on, and you caught sight of Yoongi watching you from across the campsite

He looked away quickly when you saw him, still wearing a small frown as he organized things for dinner

You felt an urge to take up your post beside him, but you knew you should find a way to help some of the other boys

Hoseok was washing dishes in the camper, Jimin and Jungkook were setting up tables, and Namjoon was assembling chairs, so you took turns assisting each of them

And you tried your best to not let Yoongi’s frequent glances tug at your heartstrings

You had decided you’d talk to him as soon as the camera crew wrapped for the night, but until then

You had to continue to appease the producers

And, as hard as it was, you had to put your own feelings aside

You couldn’t help but notice him getting flustered though, as he tried to prepare dinner by himself, wandering around muttering, “What do I do?”

You wanted so badly to help him anyway you could

So when Taehyung came up with the idea to fetch a bucket of water from the camp manager’s office so Yoongi could wash vegetables, you jumped up to accompany him

After getting directions from Jimin, you and Taehyung quickly set off in the dark, a cameraman jogging behind you

It was a bit of a hike to the office

As you walked, Taehyung brought up how hungry he was and how much he was looking forward to dinner

You agreed, and he asked why you weren’t helping cook

You shrugged, saying you just felt like doing something else tonight

Taehyung seemed unconvinced, but he didn’t pry, and you were grateful

When you reached the office, the manager kindly provided you with water, making small talk as the bucket filled

Taehyung then hefted the full bucket with two hands, and you headed back toward the campsite

Not long after you left the office, you could tell that Taehyung’s arms were already growing tired, so you volunteered to take a turn with the water, and you began passing it back and forth every so often as you pressed on

When you drew near to the campsite, Jimin spotted both of you struggling, and ran up to relieve you

You thanked Jimin as he took the water bucket from your shaking arms, and he expressed his gratitude to you and Taehyung for bringing it so far

Another Fireside Meal

As soon as Jimin placed the water next to the stove, Yoongi set to work washing carrots and potatoes, and you went to sit by the fire

Jimin then took over your role as Yoongi’s assistant, peeling and chopping vegetables when Yoongi asked for help and you - much to your regret - didn’t volunteer

You sat between Jin and Jungkook as they tended the fires, watching Yoongi cook curry and manduguk

You noticed that even with Jimin’s assistance, he still seemed tense, and you had to restrain yourself several times from getting up to lend a hand

Eventually, dinner was ready, and Yoongi brought the pots of food over from the stove

You and the boys helped yourselves, enjoying the dumpling soup and curry with white rice while you all sat in a semi-circle around the fire

As you ate, Yoongi wondered out loud about what you should have for dinner the next night

And you and Hoseok were amused by how he could think about food even while he was eating

Yoongi looked to you as you chuckled, and you tried to communicate an affirmation to him in the small smile you gave him in return

When most of the main dishes were gone, Yoongi started grilling pork over the brazier, but the fire started flaring up out of control

Panicking slightly, he called for bigger tongs to save the meat, and you instinctively jumped up

You searched frantically for the tongs Yoongi needed, but before you could find them, Jimin slipped on a pair of fire-proof gloves and pulled the whole grate off the top of the brazier

Luckily, the pork belly wasn’t burned, and the boys wasted no time devouring it

The discussion around the fire then turned to sleeping arrangements, and Yoongi and Jimin decided they would sleep in the big tent, Jin chose to sleep in the SUV again, and the rest of the boys opted to sleep in the camper

As for you, one night of freezing in a tent had been plenty, and you wanted to sleep in the warm camper too

So it was agreed that Namjoon and Taehyung would share the bed in the back of the camper, Hoseok and Jungkook would share the bed over the front, and you could sleep on the dining table that converted into a bed

Once that was decided, Yoongi ordered Jungkook to wash some apples and oranges so he could make mulled wine, or “vin chaud”

Though he complained a little, Jungkook obediently went inside the camper to prepare the fruit, and the rest of the boys stood up and dispersed too

While Yoongi shouted instructions to Jungkook, Namjoon and Jimin walked off together, remarking that Yoongi was “really into it” tonight

You followed them, wondering what they meant, and sat with them on the far side of the campsite

But before you could ask, Namjoon sighed heavily, and you could tell he had a lot on his mind

You and Jimin asked if he was okay, and he admitted he was feeling a lot of work-related stress and it was making it so that he couldn’t fully enjoy the trip 

You weren’t sure what to say, so you put a comforting arm around his shoulders, and agreed with the encouraging words Jimin offered

You felt bad for Namjoon and the rest of the boys

As a fan who usually only saw the happy, positive image they projected, it was sometimes easy to forget that they were constantly under an enormous amount of pressure to do and be everything that was expected of them

It was hard to imagine the weight they must all carry

Your arm still around Namjoon, you looked back over your shoulder, watching Yoongi attempting to open a bottle of wine, and your heart ached to comfort him too

Yoongi felt you looking at him and he watched you back, his tiny frown persisting

Unable to take it any longer, you stood up to go to him, patting Namjoon on the shoulder as you left him with Jimin

In Vino Veritas

Yoongi had passed the wine bottle to Hoseok by the time you crossed the campsite, but he was finding it difficult to open too

When you reached them, you offered to give it a try

With a little effort, you successfully unscrewed the cap, and Hoseok was impressed

But Yoongi pouted that they loosened it for you, and your self-satisfied expression quickly faded

Taking the open bottle from you while avoiding your gaze, he poured the wine in a pot and added the prepared fruit and some spices

When the pot was ready, Jungkook balanced it on the fire, then quickly came to the rescue when it started tipping over only a few minutes later 

After the wine was stabilized and allowed to simmer for a while, Yoongi and Jin began ladling servings into paper cups

You and the other boys all gathered around the fire again, curious to try the vin chaud

Carefully taking a cup of hot liquid from Jin, you inhaled the steam and were surprised how medicinal it smelled

You took a tentative sip, and reflexively pulled a face

It tasted like medicine too, and not in a good way 

So far, everything Yoongi had made had been delicious, but unfortunately, this drink was an exception

You looked around and saw Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook having similar reactions, their faces scrunched in poorly disguised disgust

Yoongi continued drinking his wine, claiming he liked it, but you surreptitiously sat your cup aside, not daring to try another sip

Changing the subject, you asked about the next day’s activities

You, Jin, Hoseok, Jungkook, and Yoongi wanted to go fishing, but Taehyung was planning to go horseback riding

While Taehyung was convincing Jimin to go with him, you felt a wave of sleepiness wash over you, and you couldn’t hold back a yawn

Jimin noticed and said that he was sleepy too, and Yoongi agreed that he felt like he could fall asleep right there

You then overheard some people being rowdy at the campsite next to yours, and you laughed when Namjoon called “hi” to them

Yoongi gave you a quick glance, then shouted “hi!” to the neighbors too

You smiled at him, and Namjoon suggested he ask if they know BTS

Seeing your smile, Yoongi immediately complied, yelling out  “Do you know BTS?!”

Not missing an opportunity to tease Yoongi, Jin scolded him for doing something he’s repeatedly been told not to do, and everyone broke into giggles

Namjoon then observed it was late and suggested it was time to clean up, so you all worked together to tidy up the camp

As soon as things were organized, the boys started getting ready for bed, retiring to the tent, camper, and SUV one after the other

Yoongi stayed behind to put out the fire, and you dawdled too

You refused to give in to your weariness until you talked to Yoongi, so you tried to appear busy ensuring everything was in its proper place

Finally, the production crew decided turn in, and Yoongi clapped to wrap filming

An Overdue Explanation

As the cameramen disappeared into the dark, heading to their own campsite, you approached Yoongi beside the fire

Somewhat timidly, you asked if you could talk to him, and he regarded you skeptically

You held your breath, your heart thrumming as you awaited Yoongi’s response

Then with a scoff, he expressed his surprise that you actually wanted to talk to him after avoiding him most of the day

You didn’t hesitate to apologize sincerely, telling him you could explain everything if he’d let you

Sighing, Yoongi nodded, and you took a deep breath before allowing everything you wanted to say to spill out of you

You told him about the producer pulling you aside, and everything he’d said about spending too much time with Yoongi and needing to spend more time with the other boys

You explained how you felt you had no choice but to agree, and how avoiding him most of the day had not been your desire

In fact, it had been torture

You assured Yoongi that if it weren’t for the cameras, you’d have spent all of your time with him

Then you apologized again, communicating your hope that you had not hurt his feelings

When you finished rambling, Yoongi took a moment to process everything, his mouth set in a line

And despite your anxiety, you allowed him the time he needed to think

After moment, he sighed again, but this time he sounded much more relaxed

“I should have guessed that was the reason.” He said. “That’s a relief.”

You lifted your eyebrows

It was a relief that the producer’s interference was keeping you apart?

Yoongi nodded, saying it was a better explanation than the one he’d imagined

Affection

Part Fourteen

Goodnight?

You’d hoped Yoongi would stay and talk more, maybe even offer a more thorough explanation as to why he kissed you out of nowhere

But he seemed embarrassed and anxious to retreat

So after shyly bidding you goodnight, he quickly moved toward his tent

Leaving you standing outside the camper van, feeling stunned

Unsure what else to do, you opened the door and climbed in

It was dark in the camper, and the boys inside were already settled in bed

But Hoseok spoke up when you entered, asking if it was you

You responded automatically as you slumped onto your bed, still in a daze

You heard a rustle and could just make out Hoseok propping himself up on one elbow, looking down at you from his high bed

He inquired if you were okay, and you were about to answer him

But then you remembered there were several GoPro cameras tucked into the corners of the camper

You quietly asked if the cameras were off, looking around for any tiny recording lights

Namjoon’s voice sounded from the back, confirming that he turned them all off a few minutes ago

Then he asked if everything was alright, too

“Yoongi kissed me…” You breathed

And you felt a renewed sense of excitement saying it out loud

As soon as the words left you, you heard a bump in the dark, then Hoseok cried out in pain

Jungkook’s laugh rang out from beside him, and you realized Hoseok sat up reflexively and hit his head on the ceiling

You, Namjoon, and Taehyung laughed too, and you asked Hoseok if he was hurt

Hoseok dismissed the question, saying he was fine as he hurried to climb down the ladder

Reaching the floor, he quickly moved to sit cross-legged beside you, grabbing both of your hands and holding them in his lap

Hoseok beamed at you, practically giddy, and urged you to tell him everything

Spilling the Tea

Namjoon flipped a small light on, and you saw him, Taehyung, and Jungkook all sitting up in bed, their faces shining with interest

You suddenly felt a little shy, but you knew everyone there cared about you and Yoongi, and wanted both of you to be happy

And you trusted the boys to keep anything you told them confidential

So you opened up, and told them the whole story

How you and Yoongi had been getting to know each other, and growing close

How Yoongi held your hand at the observatory, and in the hot tub

How he let you sleep on his shoulder, and rested his head on yours

How you stayed up talking the night before, and really connected

How the producers had noticed you spending so much time together, and requested that you participate with the other members instead 

How Yoongi got the wrong idea, and thought you were avoiding him because you like Namjoon

And how when you promised him there was no reason for him to be jealous, he unexpectedly kissed you

The boys all grinned as they listened, and when you finished describing everything that happened, you expected they’d be surprised

But Taehyung said he wasn’t 

He knew his hyung liked you, and could see there was something happening between you

Hoseok and Jungkook agreed, though they hadn’t expected Yoongi to make the first move, especially so soon

Namjoon was a little surprised Yoongi had been jealous of him though, and reassured you that he knew you were just friends

But all of the boys were excited for you, and happy that their hyung had opened himself up to you

You thanked them, saying you were really happy and excited too

And you shyly admitted that you really like - maybe even love - Yoongi

When you said that, Hoseok pulled you into a crushing hug

But you had to ask them if they thought his intentions were serious, if they thought he actually wanted a relationship

After a moment’s consideration, Jungkook stated he’d never seen Yoongi with a girlfriend

And Namjoon explained that dating had been a low priority for him since their debut, because he’d been focused on his career

But he was sure that if Yoongi met someone he was truly interested in, someone he genuinely connected with, someone who could convince him that a relationship was worth it…

Someone like…

You

Then he would adjust his priorities accordingly

Hoseok, Taehyung, and Jungkook agreed, adding that they’d never seen Yoongi so comfortable, so open, so affectionate with anyone so soon

And he wasn’t one to waste any time or energy on something he didn’t plan to see through

So, based on the evidence they’d seen and how well they knew their hyung...

They felt confident promising you that Yoongi was definitely serious about you

Hearing their affirmations brought happy tears to your eyes, and Hoseok “aww”ed when he noticed, giving you another tight hug

Real Talk

You were so relieved that the other members confirmed your hope that Yoongi liked you

But knowing how he felt about you was only one part of the equation

Because before you started a relationship, you knew you had to consider what dating an international idol would really be like

So you asked the boys, not knowing when you’d get another chance to talk with them so candidly

A relationship with one of them would be hard, all four boys concurred

Besides the hectic schedules, endless workload, and constant traveling, there was extremely limited privacy, constant scrutiny, and immense pressure to maintain the right image

Some of which you’d already experienced

But, Namjoon encouraged, it wasn’t impossible

And he knew that Yoongi would give his all to make things work, and would care for you deeply

As long as you did the same

You appreciated the honesty, and thanked the boys for their insight and encouragement

Hoseok squeezed your hand, swearing that he and his brothers would be there for you and help you in any way they could

Namjoon, Taehyung, and Jungkook all nodded, and you felt your eyes start to water again

Hoseok wiped your tears, chuckling, and suggested that maybe it was time for you to go to sleep

You reluctantly agreed, and Namjoon turned out the light as soon as Hoseok climbed back into his own bed

Then, slipping under your covers, you whispered another “thank you” and a “goodnight” into the darkness, and four voices softly answered “goodnight” back

The Morning After

The heat of the bright sun shining directly in your face woke you in the morning 

You burrowed beneath your pillow, attempting to block out the light, but it was too warm inside the camper

Giving up, you kicked off your blankets and opened your eyes

Namjoon was already sitting up, and Hoseok was stretching in bed, his shirt lifting to expose his tummy

You’d slept fitfully and were still tired, but you knew you weren’t going to be able to sleep anymore, so you decided to get up, too

Hoseok headed to the public bathroom to shower, and Namjoon, Taehyung, and Jungkook went outside to give you privacy while you used the camper shower

When you were clean and dressed, you went outside and found Jimin making friends with two friendly dogs that had wandered into your camp

You greeted Jimin and the sweet pups, then joined Jin who was lounging in a camp chair drinking pumpkin sikhye

Jin offered you some, and you enjoyed a sip of the sweet rice drink

It was another beautiful, peaceful morning in New Zealand, and it was nice to take a moment to just relax and enjoy it

Then Yoongi appeared, freshly showered and dressed for the day, and your heart gave its usual excited response

He really needed to stop being so cute

Not making eye contact, he casually sat next to Jin and asked to try his drink

You offered Yoongi a “good morning” and a smile as Jin passed him the bottle, but he only nodded, pulling out his phone and starting to idly scroll through it

Feeling unsure, you sat in silence, the three of you sharing sips of the sikhye until it was gone

Then Hoseok returned from the showers, and Yoongi joined him as he squeezed espresso packets into water bottles to make instant Americanos

As Yoongi walked away, Jin looked at you, an eyebrow raised

Even though he wasn’t yet privy to every detail, he knew enough to be curious about what he just witnessed

You gave Jin a weak smile, not knowing what to tell him

You weren’t sure what was up either

Maybe Yoongi just needed his morning caffeine fix

Maybe after his coffee he’d be more friendly, you told yourself

But before you could think too much about it, the rest of the group gathered around and began preparing to leave

The activity for the morning was a helicopter tour, and everyone needed to ride in the SUV to get to the pickup site

In typical fashion, the boys wanted to play rock-paper-scissors to determine seating order

Jin elected to drive and Namjoon won the front seat

Hoseok, Jimin, and Jungkook lost and had to squeeze into the third row

Which left you, Yoongi, and Taehyung in the second row

Yoongi climbed in behind the passenger’s seat, and Taehyung nudged you to sit in the middle, barely concealing his conspiratorial smile

Giving Taehyung a look, you slid across the seat, settling next to Yoongi, your shoulders pressed together 

But he kept his gaze fixed out the window

And you felt a tiny twinge of doubt 

The car was packed with all eight of you, but as you rode along, Jimin said that it was fun to be together in one vehicle 

Your group had been divided between the camper and the SUV the whole trip, and even back home the members rarely rode all together anymore

The other boys agreed, and began reminiscing about sharing vehicles while filming past music videos

You always enjoyed hearing them discuss their memories

But you were distracted as you sat between Yoongi and Taehyung, pulling your shoulders and knees together to make yourself as small as possible

Yoongi was acting normal with the others, talking and joking, but he’d yet to interact with you directly

And you couldn’t help but wonder why

Was Yoongi being shy and awkward because he kissed you last night and now he didn’t know how to act around you?

Or was he regretting kissing you…?

You forced the thought from your mind

No, you were probably reading too much into things

You were just letting your insecurities influence you

There had to be a perfectly reasonable explanation for his sudden change in behavior

You’d had a good reason for acting similarly the day before, afterall

But whatever it was that was inhibiting him, you hoped it wasn’t going to last all day

Because honestly…

You weren’t sure you could stand another day not being close to him

Summary: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join BTS on a Bon Voyage adventure leads to once-in-a-lifetime love.

Author’s Note: What? What’s this? Two updates in one week? Can you believe it? 😄 Anyway, as always, please enjoy! 💕

Part Fifteen

A Helicopter Tour

The route to meet the helicopters took you off-road, through the woods, and out into an open field

Jin parked the SUV on the grass, and as you and the boys climbed out, you noticed Yoongi didn’t hold the door open for you

You excused the incident as an oversight, but he had always been so diligently chivalrous it was hard to believe he simply forgot

As you stood in the bright sunlight waiting for the helicopters to arrive, everyone took the opportunity to apply sunscreen

You had the idea to use the SUV window as a mirror, and Namjoon and Yoongi followed your lead as you all rubbed sun lotion onto your faces

Glancing sideways at Yoongi, you saw he had a thick layer of white cream smeared all over his nose and his cheeks, and you couldn’t hold back the laugh that escaped you

Yoongi turned around at your reaction, and when the other members saw him, they burst into laughter too

Unabashed, he defended himself as he continued to rub his face, saying you were supposed to apply sunscreen liberally to block UV rays

And as you watched him waddle away past his amused brothers, you felt it in your gut

You truly adored this precious man

A few minutes later, two helicopters came into view, and your group stood to the side so they could land in the field

And Yoongi joked that he’d called them to come pick you up

When they were on solid ground, you and the boys divided yourselves between the two helicopters 

You purposely chose the same one as Yoongi, but you were a little disappointed when he sat in the front by the pilot instead of in the back with you, Hoseok, Namjoon, and Taehyung

The other boys exchanged glances with you as everyone climbed in and put on headsets

Apparently, they noticed Yoongi was being a little distant too

A knot that had nothing to do with being nervous about the flight began forming in the pit of your stomach

Hoseok read your face, and linked your arm through his, patting the back of your hand

You gave him a small, grateful smile in return, squeezing his arm affectionately just as the helicopter lifted into the air

The view of the New Zealand countryside passing beneath you was spectacular, all blue sky, green mountains, and white snow

And for just a second, as you hovered over a shining lake as reflective as a mirror, you forgot all your worries and just lived in the moment

But then Hoseok said he wanted to try some snow with strawberry syrup on top, which caused Yoongi to wonder aloud about the reality of eating the snow, and your awareness was pulled back inside the helicopter

Flying low over the lake, the helicopters circled around to land by the shore, and when they touched down, you were allowed get out to explore

As you and the boys crossed the gravel lakeside and approached the crystal clear water, the crew told you it was clean enough to drink

Namjoon and Yoongi didn’t hesitate to taste some, bending down to scoop up handfuls

When they confirmed the cleanliness of the water, you and the rest of the members joined them, trying it for yourselves

Taehyung then suggested skipping stones, and everyone took turns skimming rocks across the surface of the lake

But your stone-skipping skills had not improved since the other day, and the most you could manage was one bounce before your rock sunk

Further down the shore, Yoongi wasn’t doing any better, and had resorted to just tossing pebbles directly in the water

You’d tried to stand next to him at the water’s edge several times, but whenever you got close to him, he’d move to a different spot

And though the knot in your stomach grew tighter with each attempt, you still tried your best to stay optimistic and have a good time

Playing in the Snow

After spending some time at the lake, you and the boys headed back to the helicopters, but before Yoongi could climb into the front again, Taehyung stopped him 

He asked his hyung if he could take a turn sitting up front, claiming he wanted a better view, but the glance Taehyung gave you told you he had other motives

Begrudgingly, Yoongi agreed, and he took Taehyung’s previous seat between you and the window

You tried to give Yoongi an apologetic look, but he busied himself putting on his headset

When everyone was in their seats, the helicopter took off again, and this time it soared higher over the snow-capped mountains

The scene out the windows grew even more breathtaking the further you flew

The peaks of the range were so tall they touched the clouds, and the whiteness of the snow was blinding

Finally, when you thought you couldn’t climb any higher, the pilot landed on a slope of pure, untouched powder, and you and the boys excitedly hopped out of the helicopter

Taehyung quickly took off, running gleefully through the snow as Yoongi wondered again if it was edible

Namjoon replied that it was, and Yoongi immediately grabbed a handful and took a bite

Jungkook asked him how it was and Yoongi said he wished he had some chocolate syrup to make Korean shaved ice

You smiled to yourself as you walked by, amused by Chef Min’s preoccupation with food and cooking

But before you got much further up the slope, Taehyung cut you off, asking you to pose for a picture

You agreed and smiled for him while he took several shots from different angles

Then he called for Yoongi, and asked him to pose with you

Yoongi didn’t argue, but he trudged over to stand next to you as though burdened with a heavy task

Taehyung made a show of setting up the perfect picture, directing you and Yoongi to stand closer together and to look at each other, tweaking your poses until he was satisfied

He then took an inordinate amount of shots, and as you peered at Yoongi’s face you were surprised find him actually looking you in the eye

And maybe it was because he was being a good model for his brother, but you swear you saw a glimmer of the softness his gaze usually held when trained on you

Your anxiety ebbed the slightest bit as you stood together, all your feelings for Yoongi welling up in your heart  

But all too soon the moment passed, and Yoongi looked away, stepping back as soon as Taehyung said he got the shot 

Sighing as Yoongi wandered off, you examined what the other boys were doing

And reminded yourself you were in an incredible place and that you were there to have fun

So when you saw Jungkook and Jin starting to roll snowballs to make a snowman, you marched over to help them

After playing in the snow for a good amount of time - building a respectable snowman, throwing snowballs, writing messages in the snow, and attempting to slide down the slope on your jackets - it was time to leave, and everyone reboarded the helicopters

A Picnic by the Lake

You were all hungry for lunch when you returned from your helicopter tour, and the plan was for a picnic

As soon as you arrived at the lakeside park, you and the boys quickly set up camp chairs and a table and the production crew brought out the food

Rice, ramyeon, udon, chili tuna, and kimchi were on the menu for lunch, and you eagerly began filling your bowl with noodles as soon you sat between Hoseok and Taehyung

As you all ate, you finalized your plans for the afternoon, and you expressed your anticipation to go fishing

You’d only had a few opportunities to fish before and it was something you’d been wanting to try again

Speaking more to the group than exclusively to you, Yoongi said he’d only been fishing a few times and was still a novice too

At his words, the image of him and Jin fishing over a seawall in season three of Bon Voyage popped into your head

“Let’s hope you have better luck than in Malta.” You teased, reminding Yoongi how an old fisherman took pity on them and put a fish on his hook

One corner of Yoongi’s mouth twitched into half a smile, his eyes twinkling with amusement

And you felt like you achieved a significant victory 

Jin laughed appreciatively at your teasing, adding that Hoseok would probably catch a lot of fish because of beginner’s luck

Then Jungkook piped in, saying he was sure you’d all catch enough to feed the entire crew

Fishing for Dinner

After lunch, you split up for your separate activities 

One of the producers drove Taehyung and Jimin to go horseback riding, and another took Namjoon back to the campsite to do some work, leaving the rest of you to make your way to the fishing lake

Wanting to avoid another uncomfortable squeeze in the back seat, you offered to drive the SUV

So Hoseok and Jungkook not-so-subtly herded Jin into the back with them, leaving the passenger’s seat for Yoongi

Soon, you and the boys were aboard a private fishing boat on beautiful Lake Taupo

The weather was perfect, clear and sunny, and the mountains provided a magnificent backdrop

As the captain drove out into the middle of the lake, Yoongi declared that you should make salmon sashimi with your catch for dinner that night

You and the others agreed, and you all put your hands in to do a cheer

Your hand ended up beneath Yoongi’s as you all shouted “Let’s get ‘em!”, and though it was probably a coincidence, you thought you felt his thumb rub softly across the back of your hand

Then the captain dropped the anchor, and everyone chose a fishing post

Again, Hoseok and Jungkook did some sly maneuvering, and you ended up with a rod between Yoongi and Jin

It was Hoseok’s first time fishing and he was a little unsure, so you offered him encouragement while you became familiar with your own rod and cast your line

Within seconds, Jin felt a tug on his line, and the captain told him to reel it in, then scooped up Jin’s catch with a net

Jin shouted triumphantly, and you all congratulated him, giving him high-fives

Only a few minutes later, Jungkook caught his first fish, and Yoongi got a bite soon after

Hoseok started feeling a little discouraged, but you continued to reassure him

Until Yoongi, Jin, and Jungkook each made another catch

You started to feel a little disappointed yourself, watching Jungkook posing for a picture while holding his fish

For some reason, you weren’t getting any tugs on your line, and you wondered if you were going to catch anything either 

Then Jungkook caught another fish, and Jin put his arm around Hoseok, trying to help him and convince him not to give up

You didn’t want to give up, but the thought crossed your mind as you stared at your floating line

“You can do it.” Yoongi spoke beside you, his voice gentle and calm. “You’ll make a catch.”

You looked up at him, relieved to hear him speaking to you, but before you could respond to him, you felt your rod bend

In an excited rush, you quickly reeled in your first fish, exclaiming happily

After the captain caught it in his net, the boys surrounded you, offering you congratulatory high-fives

Even Yoongi was caught up in the celebration, high-fiving you too

When your palms met, he kept hold of your hand for a second, his fingers wrapping around yours

And as he gave you a proud smile, you were filled with the sudden hope that whatever wall he’d had up all day…

Was finally starting to come down

Part Sixteen

Back to Civilization

At the conclusion of your fishing trip, you returned to your campsite to meet up with the rest of the boys, pack everything up, and head to Queenstown

You watched the sun fall lower and lower in the sky from the passenger’s seat as Yoongi drove into the city

By the time you reached your accommodation, the night was completely black

For the last two nights of your trip, you’d be staying in a rental, and though it was hard to see in the dark, you could tell just from the outside that the large, modern house was luxurious

As soon as Yoongi parked the SUV and Jungkook parked the camper, everyone grabbed their suitcases and headed inside

The second you walked in the door, you and the boys were amazed, and the interior designer in you geeked out just a little bit

The house was open-concept, with the living room, kitchen, and dining room all in one large space, and the whole back wall was floor-to-ceiling windows

The design was clean and contemporary, featuring all neutral colors and mixed materials like glass and stone

It was a far cry from the cabins, tents, and camper you’d stayed in the last few nights

And as several of you admired the incredible view of the twinkling city skyline, you agreed it was nice to be back in civilization

Collapsing onto the sofas after bringing in all the luggage, food, and supplies, the boys began discussing how to decide rooms

There were five bedrooms to choose from: three would have to be shared and two would be private

Jin suggested you play the bottle cap game, and Hoseok cleared off the coffee table in preparation

After a quick round of rock-paper-scissors, it was determined that Yoongi would go first, and he casually flicked the plastic bottle cap a little over halfway across the table

Surprisingly, his mediocre shot was enough to win, as everyone else - including you - either overshot or came up short

Having won first pick of the bedrooms, Yoongi chose the private room with the twin-size bed

Which allowed you, as the runner-up, to choose your own room with a full-size bed

Then the rest of the boys scattered, checking out the remaining bedrooms and picking their spots

Jin and Hoseok claimed the room with the king-size bed

Namjoon and Jungkook chose to share the room with the queen-size bed

And Jimin and Taehyung naturally wanted to room together, so they decided on the room with the other full-size bed

Once you were situated in your rooms, everyone began taking turns washing up, and you enjoyed a long, hot shower

Dinner Prep

When you were dried off and dressed in comfy clothes, you made your way to the kitchen

You found a freshly-bathed Yoongi there at the counter, attempting to cut up the salmon you’d caught that afternoon

He appeared to be struggling, so you asked if you could help, but he said the only thing he needed help with was peeling garlic

Jin, Jimin, and Jungkook were already seated around the kitchen table with a half-peeled mound of garlic bulbs between them, so you joined them

Though you had really hoped Yoongi wanted you by his side

You watched him from the table as he continued to wrestle with the fish until he finally admitted defeat

You were about to get up to assist him, but Jin insisted that Yoongi let him try

Jin had some trouble cutting up the fish too, but soon figured it out well enough to prepare passable sashimi

When you and the other garlic peelers finished your task, you moved to the counter to watch Yoongi and Jin work, standing ready if either of them needed your help

Eventually, after putting a pot of water on the stove to boil, Yoongi asked - without looking at you - if you could toast some bread, and you happily obliged

Dinner and Dessert

When the salmon, garlic shrimp, and pasta were ready, everyone took their place at the dining table, and you ended up seated between Hoseok and Taehyung

As you and the boys began filling your plates, Hoseok commented that you all had only one more day of the show left, and the unwelcome reminder made your stomach clench

You couldn’t stop yourself from glancing at Yoongi, hating the thought of your time together coming to an end

Especially after the way he’d been so distant all day

To your surprise, Yoongi was looking directly at you, but quickly turned his gaze toward his lap when he noticed your gaze on him

Then Hoseok lifted his drink, toasting to enjoying the experience until the last moment, and you joined the others in clinking your glasses and bottles together

It was a fitting toast, and as you started on your dinner, you hoped you would be able to enjoy every last moment of this experience

While you ate, the boys began discussing dinner for the next night, saying they’d like to have Korean food

But it suddenly dawned on you that if it was the final night, it would be your last opportunity to make your traditional food for them

So you spoke up, and offered to cook them all dinner the next night

The boys liked the idea, agreeing unanimously and enthusiastically, and you started planning your menu in your mind

After dinner, Jungkook brought out a box of mint chocolate chip ice cream cones and handed them out

Jin lamented that he hated mint chocolate, and Namjoon agreed that it was like mouthwash

Unwrapping his cone, Yoongi said food was food and he wasn’t very picky

You agreed as far as ice cream goes, enjoying your own cone and saying you’d yet to find a flavor you didn’t like

BTS UNO

When you finished your dessert, Namjoon, Taehyung, and Hoseok took charge of cleaning up dinner

While you waited for them to finish, the rest of your group relaxed in the living room, and Jin started shuffling a deck of UNO cards

It was getting late, and as soon as the production crew set up a ring of GoPro cameras in the middle of the coffee table, they wrapped filming and said goodnight

As they left the house and headed for their own accommodations, you and the boys encircled the table and Jin dealt everyone cards

It wouldn’t be a game with BTS if there wasn’t a penalty, so it was agreed before play started that the loser would have to wake everyone else up in the morning

Though you were all tired after a long day, the game was lively, with everyone singing and dancing and laughing as they played

Taehyung wasn’t familiar with the rules, but you grew up playing UNO with your family, so you and Jimin coached him each time it was his turn

But a heated debate occurred when the boys tried to make Yoongi draw ten cards

You immediately came to his defense, telling them they couldn’t stack +2 and +4 cards

Jimin and Jungkook insisted that they could, and you went back and forth until you pulled up the official rules on your phone

They weren’t happy about it, and grumbled as they drew their cards, but you were right

And though Yoongi kept his focus on his hand, a smirk was curling his lips

“At least now I know who’s on my side.” He said, playing his card onto the center pile, and you couldn’t hold back a self-satisfied grin

Play continued for a while, the game lasting longer with so many players, until Jin was finally the first person to go out

The remaining players kept playing, going out one-by-one, until it was down to Yoongi, Jimin, and Taehyung

With only three players, the game went much faster, and Yoongi and Jimin both went out one after the other, leaving Taehyung in last place

Unsurprised, he humbly accepted his defeat and his wake-up penalty, and everyone decided to call it a night

Another Late Night

As the boys dispersed, you hung back, taking your time heading to your room, but it was quickly apparent that Yoongi did not have the same idea

You’d been waiting all night, anxious to finally get an opportunity to talk to him without the cameras

He’d been giving you mixed signals all day, and you were dying to know exactly what he was thinking and where you stood

But as Yoongi disappeared into his bedroom, closing his door behind him, your heart dropped to the floor

Taking a deep breath then exhaling shakily, you entered your own room, trying your best to stay calm

He was just tired, you told yourself

You’d had a long day, and he probably just wanted to go to sleep

That’s all

There’s no reason to freak out

It’s late anyway, and everyone should go to sleep

Reflexively, you pulled your phone from your pocket to check the time and convince yourself of the lateness of the hour

But before you even saw the clock, your eyes were instantly drawn to the notification banner waiting on your screen

You had one unread message from Min Yoongi

You couldn’t tap it open and read it fast enough

Not sure you read it right, you read it again

And again

And again, reading it one word at a time

You then racked your brain, deciding how to answer, before finally sending a casual response

Shoving your phone back in your pocket, you hurried into your bathroom and brushed your teeth as fast as you could, your heart now racing in anticipation instead of sinking in disappointment

As soon as you’d rinsed your mouth out and checked your face in the mirror, you found the small camera mounted in the corner of your bedroom

You gave the lens a bright smile and a cheerful goodnight, then firmly pushed the power button, ensuring the recording light was off

Crossing the room, you smoothed down your clothes and lowered yourself onto the edge of your bed

And your leg began bouncing as you sat

All you could do now…

...was wait

Assurance

“You kissed me last night, Yoongi. You kissed me, and then ignored me. You’ve been avoiding me all day. Yesterday, I was sure you liked me. But after today… I have no idea what to think.”

Yoongi’s brow furrowed deeper, his lips forming a pout. He loosened his grip on your fingers just enough to rub his thumb back and forth across the back of your hand.

“I thought you wanted to spend less time together on camera,” He explained, his tone questioning, “because of what the producer said. You were distant with me all day yesterday, yeah? I was just following your lead, trying to make things easier for you… Was I wrong?”

Relief kindled within you. You looked up into Yoongi’s dark eyes as he searched your face, your own eyes full of hope.

“So you didn’t want to ignore me?”

“No.” He scoffed as though surprised you had to ask. “Of course not.”

The corners of your mouth lifted as a smile started spreading across your face.

“So you want me around?”

Yoongi squeezed your hand, but his face was expressionless.

“Yes.”

He said the word so simply, so dispassionately, that if you didn’t know him, you might not have believed him. But you did know him, and you knew he meant it.

Your smile swelled in tandem with your heart.   

“So you don’t regret kissing me?”

Yoongi was taken aback, a look of disbelief twisting his features.

“What? No! Why would you even think that?”

“You thought I had a crush on Namjoon,” You reminded him, your smile becoming a smirk, “So can you really blame me?”

“I guess that’s fair.” Yoongi grumbled, the tension leaving his face. “But listen, noona… I never would have kissed you if I wasn’t sure.”

His words awoke a swarm of butterflies in your tummy, but you kept your smirk.

“Sure about what?” You asked innocently as you stepped closer to Yoongi, leaving barely any space between your bodies.

A blush immediately colored his cheeks.

“Yah…” He groaned, but he couldn’t stop his gummy smile from breaking across his face. “Aish, noona,” He rubbed the back of his neck, “Don’t make me say it.”

Your heart was throbbing, but you were having too much fun teasing Yoongi. He was never cuter than when he was embarrassed.

“What? Say what?” You played coy. Though you were fairly sure you knew what he meant, you wanted to hear the words from his mouth.

“Aish.” Yoongi groaned again, his annoyance over-exaggerated. “That I like you.” He huffed, actively avoiding your gaze.

You beamed at him until he finally peeked up at you, abashed. Then with a deep breath, he lifted his face, looking you in the eye.

“I like you, yeah?” Yoongi said again, all traces of embarrassment replaced by sincerity. “I can’t remember the last time I liked someone this way.”

Your heart soaring, you didn’t hesitate to respond.

“I like you, too. A lot. But I think you already knew that.”

It was Yoongi’s turn to smirk.

“Are you sure you’re not biased?” He asked, his back teeth flashing.

You chuckled appreciatively, and Yoongi’s smirk became an affectionate gaze, his eyes caressing your face before focusing on your mouth. His tongue ran across his bottom lip as he watched you, and when you noticed, your laughter faded. Swallowing in anticipation, you lifted your chin, offering yourself up to him.

Touching his free hand to your face, Yoongi gently bent your neck as he tilted his head in the opposite direction, leaning in close. Your eyelids fell shut instinctively, and you felt his warm breath dance across your lips in the brief moment before he kissed them.

You melted against him, what little space there was left between you disappearing as your mouths connected. His smooth lips felt even better than you remembered, and you pressed your own lips more firmly against his in an effort to fully commit the feeling to memory. As you drew in a breath, his familiar scent filled your head, overwhelming you in a way that was both comforting and exhilarating.

You might say you’d been looking forward to this moment since last night, but truthfully, the way the day played out, you’d doubted it would ever come. And the intrusive thought that you might have to endure a similar day tomorrow disrupted your enjoyment of the moment.

Reluctantly, you pulled away from Yoongi, your free hand resting on his chest. His eyes were slits, his lips still puckered as your thoughts spilled out.

“So as relieved as I am to know you feel the same way I do,” You rushed, “We have got to find a happy medium between ignoring each other and being totally obvious in front of the cameras. I mean, you cannot keep kissing me like this and expect me to just act like nothing happened.”

Yoongi smiled faintly, smoothing your hair back from your face.

“What if we pretend the producer never said anything, and go back to how we behaved before? No one ever said we have to avoid each other. I don’t see why you and I can’t spend time together while you’re spending time with the other members.”

You liked the sound of that, but you weren’t sure it was that easy.

“You’re not worried about the crew - or ARMY - noticing we’re… more than friends?”

Yoongi sighed heavily, then tugged your hand, moving towards the bed. You followed him until he sat down, dropping your hand as he scooted back to lean against the headboard.

“Come here.” He said, patting the spot next to him.

The sight of Min Yoongi lounging on your bed as though he owned it made you pause, but you obeyed him, crawling across the comforter to take a seat close by his side. When you were settled, he wove your fingers together again, holding your hand atop his thigh.

“We can be friendly on camera and still keep our private life private.” He gently assured you. “I know this experience may not have given you the best impression, but the film crew are actually very respectful of our privacy. I’ve worked with most of them for years. What they asked of you… They only had the best intentions for the sake of the show. I don’t believe any of them would truly try to keep us apart. Or expose us.”

You frowned contemplatively. 

“Okay, so… we’ll just act natural?”

Yoongi nodded. But when your frown didn’t fade, he lifted his arm, wrapping it around your shoulders.

“Come here.” He sighed again, pulling you against him. 

You fit into Yoongi’s side, your head resting on his chest, beneath his chin, and you could hear his heart beating beneath his ribs. Noticing the rhythm of his breath, you attempted to synch yours to his.  

“I don’t want you to worry about it anymore tonight.” Yoongi told you, sliding his fingers through a lock of your hair, stretching it down your back. “I want us to enjoy this time together.”

“Okay, no more worries.” You agreed, relaxing as you savored the softness of his t-shirt beneath your cheek. Idly, you smoothed your fingers over the fabric, letting your hand come to rest on his tummy. He really was so comfortable. If you closed your eyes, you could probably fall asleep in an instant.

Yoongi’s fingers paused, tangled in your hair. You felt him inhale deeply.

“Your hair smells so good.” He murmured, pressing his face to the top of your head. His breath made your scalp tingle.

You sniffed, your face in Yoongi’s shirt.

“You kind of smell like garlic.”

You felt his stomach muscles contract, and knew without having to look up at him that he was holding back a laugh.

Sitting up to see his face alight with amusement, you couldn’t resist stealing a kiss. Yoongi smiled against your lips.

“You know,” He chuckled softly, “I knew I was going to like you before I even met you.”

You raised an eyebrow.

“How…?”

“They showed us pictures of you, when we filmed the segment to tell you that you’d won the contest. And they told us a little bit about you.” Yoongi explained, his expression softening.

“Oh? So what was your first impression of me?” You prompted, lying back down and snuggling up to him again.

Yoongi resumed combing his fingers through your hair, his deep voice low and soothing.

“When I heard you did interior design, and saw how beautiful you are, I was intrigued.” He replied. “I was looking forward to meeting you.”

“Tell me all about it.” You said sleepily. Your eyelids were getting heavy, but you weren’t going to waste a moment on sleep. Not while you had Yoongi all to yourself. “Tell me about the night we first met. I want to hear your side of the story.”

Yoongi hummed, recalling the memory, and you felt the sound vibrating in his chest. When he spoke, his voice was softer still, almost as if he was deliberately trying to lull you to sleep.

“I was probably just as nervous as you were that night at the restaurant.” He admitted. “But you were so easy to talk to, so kind and genuine, you put us all at ease. And when you said I was your bias…” He trailed off, and you imagined a grin forming on his face. “I quickly realized after that night that I was attracted to you.” 

You smiled to yourself, and your eyes slipped closed without your noticing. Yoongi’s hand finally fell still, resting on the small of your back, but he continued speaking.

“It scared me.” Yoongi confessed, his tone more sober. “I haven’t let anyone get close to me in a long time. And you know I don’t usually open up easily. But the fact that you’re a fan who already knows so much about me… makes it easier somehow. And as I’ve gotten to know you this past month, and spent time with you this week… My feelings have grown faster than I thought possible.”

You opened your eyes, worried you had strayed into a dream. Yoongi was rarely so honest about his emotions. You listened more intently, determined to not miss a word.

“I could fall for you, noona,” Yoongi breathed, his voice a whisper, “And that terrifies me. But I want to trust you.” 

Your head was heavy with drowsiness, but you lifted it again to see the vulnerability plain on Yoongi’s face. His eyes widened slightly; he was obviously a little surprised that you were still awake.

“You can trust me.” You promised Yoongi, touching his round cheek.

His eyes fell shut, and he turned his face to press his lips to your palm.

“Then I can be brave. For you.”

Full to the brim, you leaned in towards him. He met you halfway, taking your mouth with his, and you let all of your emotions pour out as you sealed your promise with a kiss.

Part Seventeen

A Private Conversation

You checked the time on your phone repeatedly, waking the screen each time it went dark

The minutes dragged by like hours, and your mind busied itself imagining all the different possible outcomes of this “talk” Yoongi wanted to have

You were hopeful that he planned to explain his stand-offish behavior all day

And that he would reassure you of his affection 

And you really hoped he wanted to kiss you again

(He did tell you to turn the camera off…)

But you also worried that he was going to let you down easy

That he’d say he liked you, but he didn’t want to get attached, and he’d made a mistake letting things go this far

Or worse yet, you feared he’d say kissing you made him realize that he didn’t actually like you like that

No, you told yourself, rubbing your eyes

The boys promised you he was seriously interested, and they knew their hyung better than anyone

Maybe he was just playing it cool, not wanting to seem too eager

Or maybe he was afraid of being vulnerable or getting hurt

Or maybe you were seriously overthinking things and should really chill out

You picked your phone up again, half expecting to find a message from Yoongi saying he’d changed his mind and wasn’t coming

But as soon as you did the math and realized it had only been 9 minutes since he texted you, you heard a quiet knock on your door

Though the sound was so faint you weren’t sure if you imagined it, it was enough to startle you

You took a moment to collect yourself before standing and moving to the door, breathing deeply before you pulled it open

Yoongi stood in the hallway, his hands clasped behind his back, dressed in the same oversized t-shirt and pajama pants he’d been wearing all evening 

He ducked his head when he saw you, trying not to smile, but his lips pulled back to show his teeth and gums in a shy grin

It was the cutest thing you’d ever seen, and you nearly melted right then and there

Regaining his composure, Yoongi looked back up at you, and offered a quiet “hi”

You managed a small “hi” in return

He then glanced inside your room, and in a whisper asked if he could come in

Nodding wordlessly, you stepped back and Yoongi entered

You shut the door quietly behind him, and when you turned to face him, you were surprised by how close he stood

Sighing and relaxing his shoulders, he reached one hand toward you, and you felt his fingers glide down the inside of your arm before lacing into yours

Though it was certainly not the first time Yoongi had held your hand, something about this touch felt different, and it made your skin tingle

He asked how you were, his voice still gentle, his lingering smile crinkling the corners of his eyes 

Confused is what you were

Really confused

Yoongi’s mouth turned down, his eyebrows pulling together

He asked why you were confused, and you took another deep breath before answering him

Assurance

A Bittersweet Goodnight

As you and Yoongi laid together, snuggled up on your bed, you lost all track of time

But it must have gotten to be really late

You spoke occasionally, lazily exchanging brief kisses here and there

But mostly you just held each other, enjoying being alone together

Until finally, Yoongi dozed off, and you had to rouse him

Running his hands through his hair and yawning, he decided he should go to bed

You shyly voiced your wish that he could stay all night, that you could fall asleep in each other’s arms

Yoongi smiled tenderly, agreeing, but reminded you that the camera crew would return early in the morning

And it probably wouldn’t go over well if you were caught in bed together

However innocent it may be or however much he trusted the production team

You unwillingly agreed, and he carefully slid out from underneath you, allowing you to sink onto the mattress

He pulled the covers up over you, tucking you in, sweeping your hair off your forehead and pressing a kiss to your temple

He then left a final, lingering kiss on your lips and breathed a “Goodnight, angel” before heading for the door

From beneath heavy eyelids, you watched him sneak out of the room, glancing affectionately back at you as he pulled the door shut behind him

The moment the latch clicked, you checked your phone

3:37 AM

And that was the last thing you remembered before Taehyung woke you up just a few hours later

Part Eighteen

A Brighter Morning

When Taehyung knocked on your door in the morning, you felt like you had only just closed your eyes

You mumbled a response, then snuck a peek at your phone

And groaned

You’d only slept a little over four hours

It was going to be a long day

But as memories of your night with Yoongi came to the forefront of your mind, you knew staying up so late was worth it

And the desire to see him again as soon as possible was the only thing that got you out of bed

Not bothering to change out of your pajamas yet, you did a quick refresh in your bathroom, then wandered out into the hallway to see who else was up

You yawned as you stepped out of your room and, not looking where you were going, nearly collided with someone

Your heart leapt as he caught you, your hands reflexively bracing against his arms

But then, even before clearly seeing his face, you realized it was Yoongi and you relaxed in his hold

And your heart jumped for a different reason

His hair was disheveled, pieces sticking up here and there, and his cheeks were adorably puffy

He was still in his pajamas, and clearly as tired as you were

And though his mouth was set in a line, his eyes lit up at the sight of you

Unable to refrain, you reached up, gently smoothing down a section of his hair

Shy smiles blossomed on both your faces

Then Yoongi seemed to wake up, and dropped his arms from around you

He cleared his throat, muttering a “good morning”

And you suddenly wondered if there were cameras in the hallway

You didn’t think there were, but you knew it was good to be careful

Yoongi explained that he was on his way to the bathroom, and said he would see you out in the main room once he was dressed

Agreeing, you let him continue down the hall and you returned to your room, deciding to go ahead and change your clothes after all

When you were ready, you made your way out into the living room

Jin was in the kitchen, pouring himself some cereal, and you exchanged friendly “good morning”s

Then you spotted Yoongi, sitting at the table out on the patio

You headed towards him, stepping through the glass doors and out into the warm sunshine

Yoongi smiled softly at you as you took the seat next to him, asking how you were

You admitted you were tired, but otherwise good, and he was glad to hear it

Hoseok joined you a moment later, and Namjoon was on his heels, asking Yoongi if he could borrow a headband

Overhearing, Jin called out a request for one too, and Yoongi went inside to see if he had enough headbands to spare

While waiting for Yoongi to return, you took a moment to admire the beauty of the morning

You observed the neighboring buildings, shimmering blue water, and rocky mountains that surrounded your rental house, all bathed in bright sunlight, and you sighed contentedly

You could already tell that today was going to be a much better day than the last two

It was going to be difficult to keep your hands - and lips - off of Yoongi, but that was far preferable to either of you feeling ignored

Hoseok met your gaze when you sighed, giving you a knowing smile, and you were practically bursting to tell him everything

But Yoongi reappeared then, with Namjoon and Jin trying to put on their borrowed headbands right behind him

Neither of them could get their hair to look as natural as Yoongi’s though, and you laughed, saying they looked like pineapples

Yoongi chuckled in agreement as he reclaimed his seat next to you, then noticed you were wearing your headband too

So he joked that together you, Jin, Namjoon, and he were a headband quartet, and you grinned

A few minutes later, Yoongi spied Hoseok’s bottle of coffee, and asked for a sip

Hoseok handed the bottle over without hesitation, but warned that it wasn’t cold, only lukewarm

Yoongi didn’t care, and immediately took a big swig

Hoseok expressed his surprise that he put his mouth right on the bottle

Yoongi was caught off-guard for half a second, but quickly recovered and excused himself by saying, “I love you”

You smiled fondly, remembering how Yoongi had shared food and lip balm with you several times

And your heart felt warm as you realized the significance of those moments

Lifts and Luges

When everyone was ready to go, you headed out the front door to the driveway

A luge course was the day’s first destination, and it was only a short ride from the house, so you would all have to fit in the SUV again

Yoongi volunteered to drive, so you claimed the passenger’s seat while the remaining members squeezed into the two back rows

As Yoongi pulled out onto the road, Jin and Jimin commented that it was your last day in New Zealand and that you would all be going home the next day

Your stomach tightened, the same way it always did whenever you were reminded that this trip wasn’t going to last forever

Exhaling, you mused that time flies, and the boys agreed

Yoongi gave you a sidelong glance and, obviously sensing your discomfort, changed the subject, asking how long it would take to ride the luge

You appreciated his thoughtfulness

Though the idea of saying goodbye to Yoongi was slightly less distressing now that you knew how he felt about you, it was still not a thought you wanted to dwell on

You were determined to have the best last day together, and not waste any time moping, so you put your worries out of your mind

Though the dull ache in your gut wouldn’t completely go away

Only minutes later, you arrived at the luge course, and after parking, you all headed inside the main building

To get to the top of the course, you had to ride in gondolas, but they were small and would only hold two people plus a cameraman

So as you stood in line, everyone considered who they would ride with

Jimin and Taehyung naturally chose each other, but Hoseok suggested the rest of you simply pair up in the order you were already in

Which conveniently meant that you and Yoongi would be partners, as you were the last two in line

You gave Hoseok a small nudge, thanking him, and he gave you a subtle nod back

Once all the others boarded and were on their way, it was finally your turn

You and Yoongi climbed into a gondola together, and a cameraman squeezed in with you

The fit was tight, but neither of you minded, and you enjoyed your ride up the cable, admiring the view together

As soon as you exited the gondola, you were directed toward a bin of helmets and told to choose one

You and Yoongi both picked blue helmets, but when you tried to put them on they were too small

When several of the others had the same problem, it became apparent that the colors corresponded with the sizes and that the green ones were the biggest

After swapping out your helmets for the correct ones, Yoongi caught you by surprise when he helped you buckle yours, your fingers brushing as he took the straps from your grasp

Not letting your surprise faze you, you reached to secure his helmet beneath his chin while he tightened yours

The corner of Yoongi’s mouth lifted the slightest bit, and you suppressed your own grin

It took all your self-control to not kiss him right then and there

Dropping your hands, you both followed behind the other boys, heading towards the chairlift that would take you to the starting point of the luge course

Jimin got excited and ran out in front of everyone, and ended up on a lift seat by himself

Jin and Namjoon got on the next seat that came by, and as they were lifted up, you took Yoongi and Hoseok by the hands

You pulled the boys along, and the three of you hopped onto the next lift together, letting go of each other only when you had to lower the security bar down across your laps

At the top of the lift, you took the boys’ hands again as you dashed off the ride, meeting the other members who were waiting off to the side

Once everyone was safely off the lift, you made your way over as a group to climb into your luge carts

The top of the track afforded another spectacular view of the water and the mountains, a view you still weren’t used to and one you would definitely miss

But you only had a moment to admire it before a staff member stamped the back of your hand and told you that you were good to go

You looked to Yoongi, in a luge right next to you, and confessed that you were a little nervous

You’d always had a slight fear of things like this

“Don’t be nervous.” Yoongi encouraged you, reminding you that you jumped off a platform and swung across a ravine just the other day

“You can be brave.” He said, looking you in the eye, and you knew he was right

So with a deep breath, you nodded to Yoongi, and you both moved your carts forward

As you started down the decline, you steadily picked up speed, but your anxiety dissipated as you got a feel for your cart

Yoongi stayed as close to you as he could along the track, and you relaxed more the further you rolled

Soon, you were having fun, easily riding around the curves and through the straightaways as the wind whipped around you

And though Yoongi feigned disinterest, you could tell he was enjoying himself too

Before you knew it, you reached the end of the course, and when the crew told you that you could go down again, you, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Taehyung took the lift back up to the beginning

The other boys were already at the top, ready and waiting to try the advanced course, and as soon as your group arrived, everyone took off down the track

This course was noticeably steeper and your carts rolled considerably faster, but having conquered your fear, you had even more fun this time around

And even Yoongi couldn’t help but crack a smile as you raced towards the finish line

An Exciting Lunch

After completing the second luge course, everyone was hungry, so you headed back to the house for lunch

Jungkook volunteered to cook, and set to work as soon as he walked through the door

Hoseok joined him, offering assistance, but the rest of the boys headed to their rooms to rest until the food was ready

You and Yoongi idled in the living room for a moment, but then he started removing his microphone, saying he was going to go change

Watching him set his mic pack on the sofa, you were suddenly struck with an idea

So as Yoongi walked away, you pulled your mic off and said you were going to go change too

When you reached the hallway, Yoongi was nearly to his room

Moving swiftly but silently, you hurried down the hall to catch him before he opened the door

You touched his arm, stopping him, and he looked back at you, clearly surprised

“There are no cameras in the hallway, right?” You whispered

Yoongi shook his head “no”, his mouth falling open in confusion

Reassured that you were alone, you acted quickly, grabbing his cheeks and pressing a kiss to his parted lips

You held the kiss for as long as you dared (which wasn’t much longer than a second, knowing the camera crew was around the corner)

Yoongi’s mouth responded, but when you pulled away a moment later, he just stared at you, unblinking

Smiling at how adorably clueless he looked, you hastily snuck back towards your room before he could say a word

And as you entered and closed the door behind you, you glimpsed him still standing there, looking stunned

Once inside your room, you let go of a breath you didn’t know you’d been holding

And grinned, feeling immensely pleased with yourself as you realized how hard your heart was pounding

You never really intended to change your clothes, but in order to not raise any suspicions, you quickly swapped your shirt

You then headed back out to the main room, hoping your face wasn’t flushed as you replaced your microphone and joined the boys in the kitchen

Lunch was soon ready, and Namjoon called for everyone to gather in the dining room

You took your place at the table with most of the boys and you all began dishing up noodles for yourselves

Just as you took your first bite, Yoongi wandered into the living room, now wearing a plaid shirt and looking a little lost

You watched him rummage around the room, and when he said he was searching for his mic pack you told him it was still on the sofa

He located it a moment later and, after getting hooked back up, he joined everyone at the table

Yoongi muttered a “thanks” as he took the seat next to you and, to your amusement, you noticed his ears were a little red

He then served himself a small bowl of noodles - despite claiming he wanted to fast until dinner - and everyone eagerly devoured their food

Jungkook was sitting across from you, and as he scarfed down helping after helping, Yoongi watched him in amazement

“If I had a child like Jungkook,” He said, “I’d feel full just by watching him.”

Yoongi’s words were teasing, but you understood the sentiment behind them

You could sense his tremendous pride and admiration, radiating towards the maknae

And as your own heart swelled with affection for Yoongi, you had an exciting revelation

One that nearly took your breath away

You recalled several instances when Yoongi said things to you that were remarkably similar to what he just said about Jungkook

(Things like “seeing you warm makes me warm” and “watching you have fun is enough fun for me”)

And it occurred to you that when he said things like that

To his brothers, and to you

Maybe

Just maybe

What he was really saying was…

I love you
