"whoo! beaches and sexy bitches, here i come!"

jin turned around and smacked the boy behind him, who turned out to be one of his batchmates—joonyeon. "shut your mouth. aigoo, how did you even end up in the top 30? no offense, though..."

the blonde boy smiled at him. "i study well nowadays, you know i would do anything for girls. oh, and none taken."

the dark haired boy just rolled his eyes and turned back to his friends. "god i hope we can choose who we could be roommates with..."

they're currently lined up as they register their names and get seats at the coasters that would take them to the resort. they woke up and lined up early so they made it somehow at the front so they didnt have to wait long to be able to sit down.

"i bet they'll either let three to four people in a room, considering that we're over a hundred all in all." taehyung thought out loud, jimin nodded when he heard. jin thought for a bit and he made a whining noise.

"that cant be! they rented the whole place all for ourselves so there would be more rooms, so probably just two in a room."

tae sighed, looking deflated. "yeah, i forgot about that. who are you going to room up with then, hyung?"

"why do you assume that im willing to give way to the two of you, yah?" the dark haired man spat out, his eyes wide in fake shock.

jimin snickered. "oh please. like you would be able to tolerate taehyung's sleeptalk about alien politics or a bug's life. or like my habit of smooching and hugging whoever sleeps beside me." he finished with a grin as he saw a look of horror flash on the older's face.

"okay okay, nevermind then. i'll just go with ken or mark, whoever's available..."

their conversation was cut short when it was finally their turn to register. taehyung wrote everyone's name so it would be faster and just showed their own id's before they hopped in, settling down at the far back where there are five seats. they all sat at the middle, leaving the window seats empty so no one would dare sit beside them, and as people filled the vehicle, true enough, no one dared to sit beside them, making the three cheer internally.

not even halfway through the drive, taehyung was on the verge of throwing up his guts—he's not a fan of long roadtrips. good thing that his bestfriends know him and brought stuff he could use.

jin dug through his stuff, looking for his medicine bag while jimin held a vomit bag for taehyung and held up his fringes using a hair clip. tae was trying his best to not think about the trip that much and tried sleeping it off, but the coaster they're riding on missed a hump and ended up bouncing higher than it's supposed to be, shaking the boy's stomach and triggering him.

"i found it!" jin popped out a pill from the container and handed it to jimin along with an opened bottle of water. the youngest tipped his head back and drank in one go before giving the bottle back.

jimin patted his own shoulder and pulled tae close to him. "you can lean on me for a while. or sleep, if you want. just tell me whenever you need anything, okay?"

taehyung grabbed jimin's hand and placed it on his hair. jimin caught on and started running his fingers through the younger's hair. "sleep now, taetae..."

not even five minutes has passed and the boy already fell asleep, his right arm wrapped around jimin's waist loosely. jimin didnt stop his fingers from moving but just did it more softly. the vehicle came into a stop and one of the teachers who were with them in the coaster announced that there would be a ten-minute stopover at the gasoline station.

jin was already on his feet and grabbed his wallet from his bag. "should i get you anything, jimin?"

"just some water, hyung. thank you." he said and nodded at the older so he would go off.

jimin turned a bit to glance at the boy in his arms and sighed. "aigoo, such a big baby." he leaned back as his back started hurting from sitting up too much, and not even a minute after, he too fell asleep.

three minutes before the supposed end of stopover, four boys from another coaster got inside as quietly as they can. they walked until the very back and the oldest, hoseok, aww-ed at what he saw.

"aww, so cute!" he cooed before he sat on jin's seat, with namjoon taking the window seat at the right side of the vehicle.

yoongi then saw tae and jimin as much as how they look cute, he just cant bring himself to smile or even spit out a compliment so he stayed silent as he took a seat beside taehyung, taking the other window seat. jungkook gaped at his hyung and rolled his eyes.

"fine, leave me here alone." he grumbled and plopped down on the seat just in front of the farthest seats, which is way lower than the back seats.

just as the stopover ended, jin arrived and was shocked to see yoongi's squad taking over their seats. hobi quickly stood up and sat beside jungkook.

"why are you guys here?" the oldest asked hobi.

"mr. floral-pants was too strict, he was the one assigned to our coaster. we asked people which vehicle has the least passengers and they said this one so we snuck out." he said with a contagious smile of a sunshine, even though he had just done something against the rules.

jin just nodded and nudged the two. "we got some company. here's your water, oh and tae, you might want to wipe that drool off of your cheek right now..."

taehyung straightened up but did not open his eyes, just stretched out his arms, almost hitting yoongi in the face. good thing he dodged on time.

jimin took the water and chugged the contents before taking a look around him. "oh, you guys are here."

"surprise surprise!" jungkook suddenly piped up before turning back to his game. jimin nodded and looked at namjoon, who just gave him a smile. he looked at the other side and saw yoongi watching tae as he tried getting back to his senses. he cant help but smirk.

"hyung, do you have food?" tae whined, still not opening his eyes. jin stifled a laugh and muttered out a 'yes' before putting the burger he got for the boy on his lap.

"thank you..." he said sleepily as he blindly grabbed the food. he then opened his eyes and unwrapped his food before taking a big bite.

yoongi, who cant take it, reached for some wet wipes in his bag and wiped the dried drool on the boy's cheek. tae froze and he almost fell off of his seat when he saw the person beside him.

"w-wha—h-how—h-hyung?!" he stuttered out, his mouth still full with burger. yoongi laughed and covered the younger's mouth with his palm.

"dont talk when your mouth is full, taehyung. yah, kim seokjin, i thought you discipline your kids well?!" yoongi said teasingly.

"i do, you moron! they just dont remember and listen!" jin defended, munching on his fish and chips.

yoongi then turned to tae and gestured to his food. "go eat, you look famished."

taehyung just ate in silence as yoongi sat quietly beside him, the black haired boy staring outside the window. once he finished, he secretly took another pill, in hopes of it taking effect more and soon. he leaned back and tried sleeping it off.

halfway through the ride, the road started becoming bumpy as they're now driving on a rocky road instead of a cemented road. yoongi bumped his head against the window and he woke up, silently cursing the window for giving his head a bump.

he then glanced to his right and saw taehyung's head bouncing from different directions, his body swaying along. he chuckled at the boy, completely amused, before he decided to pull him in and make the poor boy lean against him. to make sure tae wont lean to the other side, he wrapped his arms around him, yoongi's nose just above taehyung's fluffy hair.

he cant help but marvel at how the boy's body is actually a bit defined and not as thin as it looks like from afar. he could feel from beneath his arms that his back and stomach doesnt have baby fats anymore—it's quite hard, but not abs hard. he could also feel the ripples of muscle underneath taehyung's shirt, which would tense and relax whenever he breathes.

yoongi sniffed his hair—it smells like blueberry cheesecake. yoongi smiled at that and out of impulse or reflex, he pressed a kiss against taehyung's hair. when he realized it, it was too late but instead of panicking, he just chuckled and closed his eyes, eventually falling asleep.

let's just say that even though the medicine didnt kick in, taehyung's insides calmed down—and it's all because of min yoongi.

but of course, no one else knows that.

idek with this egh

one last chapter before epilogue! i hope i'll be able to finish this story beautifully ♡ im so excited for my next fanfic, but it's going to be hard because it's a full story, so im asking for your patience and understanding!!!

kinda late but bangtan got nominated in the bbmas, im so so proud!!! theyve gone so far and i know that they truly deserve it! but pls tho, to all armys, be as humble as you guys can and do not start fights with the other nominees' fanbases! all the nominees deserve the spot, im actually a fan of selena gomez too, but i love bts more, but as what bighit said, "we are the face of bangtan." what we show to others make up what bts really is.

i hope everyone would unite to vote for bts! i know that there are fanwars going on between kpop fanbases, but i hope that just this once, we all forget about it because this is not only for bts, but also for all the kpop groups in the industry ♡
