The next two days went by quick, that it was now Friday. It was the day that were going to go on their trip.

"Taehyung!" Yoongi complained. "I thought we were going on a plane? I even brought a neck pillow, so that I could of been able to sleep peacefully."

"Hyung, just be glad that I'm taking you on a trip." Taehyung said as he rolled his eyes. "Besides, I figured that we'd bond more if we went in a car together." He smiled.

"And how are all of us going to fit when there is so much luggage?" Jin asked as he looked at both of his friend's suitcases. He eyed Taehyung's suspiciously. "Why do you have five suitcases?"

"Well," Taehyung began. He pointed at the first suitcase. "That one has my outfits and this one," He pointed at the next one. "Has all of my necessities such as my toothbrush, extra toothbrushes, tooth paste, extra tooth paste mouth wash-"

"Let me guess," Jin interrupted. "Extra mouth wash?"

Taehyung shook his head no. "Jars, I many jars because you know, just in case there is a emergency-"

"Hold up," Yoongi suddenly interrupted. Everyone's attention turned towards him. "Where exactly are we going?"

"We're going to this one lodge place up in the mountains. It's really pretty."

"The mountains?" Yoongi questioned. Taehyung nodded. "Are you going to share your jars with me, Taehyung, just in case you know there's an emergency?" The older asked.

Jin wanted to face palm as he stared at his two friends in front of him. "I'm sure there'll be bathrooms, so the jars won't be necessary."

"Okay," Taehyung nodded before he pointed to the next suitcase. "That one is filled with Yeontan's stuff and that last one," He pointed at the last suitcase. "Is filled with stuff for me and Jungkook."

Yoongi smirked. "What kind of stuff?"

"Just stuff for us." The younger replied.

"Oh really?" Yoongi wiggled his eyebrows. He made sure Jin didn't see him.

Taehyung glared at him. "Yes, hyung."

Yoongi chuckled. "Okay, whatever you say.

Jin clapped his hands to get their attention.
"Okay, now let's figure out how all seven of us will fit in a small car with a little dog, and Taehyung's many suitcases."

"Actually hyung, it's nine of us." Taehyung corrected. He ignored what Jin said about his luggage.

"What? Nine? I went to school, I know how to count-"

"I invited Jungkook's parents."

"Jungkook's parents?" Jin and Yoongi asked at the same time. Taehyung nodded.

"I don't think I've ever met his parents." Yoongi said.

"Me either." Jin added.

"Well we'll be meeting them today."

"We won't fit in my car." Jin said while eyeing up Taehyung's luggage. The younger noticed and glared. "How about we split up? I'm going with Namjoon and that's official."

"I'm going with Jimin!" Yoongi announced quickly, although things between the two are still not good which was one of the main purposes of the trip; to sort things out.

"I'm going with Jungkook!" Taehyung also announced quickly.

The two other males turned to look at him. Yoongi gave him a knowing look while smirking.

Then, two of the said males came out of the apartment with luggage in their hands.

"I was helping Jimin and heard our names being called." Jungkook said.

"Since your parents are coming, we'll be a little more crowded than we will be with Taehyung's suitcases-"

"Hey!"

"-we were thinking of splitting up. Jimin you can come with me, Namjoon and Yoongi." Jimin and Yoongi glanced at each other before they quickly looked away. "Jungkook, you and your parents will be with Hoseok. Now, Taehyung," Jin turned to look at him. "You'll go in your own car."

"What? Why?"

"Your suitcases won't fit in either of our cars with the rest of the other luggage."

"But I'll be alone." Taehyung pouted.

"You have Yeontan."

Taehyung continued while glaring at his hyung.

Jungkook spoke up, "Actually, hyung..."

Taehyung's eyes brightened up with hope and his pout was replaced with a smile. Maybe he also wants to ride with me.

"...I'm going with my parents."

Taehyung's smile dropped and his eyes looked sad.

"Are you sure?" Jin asked.

Jungkook nodded. "Yeah, I'll meet you guys there. Taehyung you did text me the address right?" The younger turned to him. Taehyung sadly nodded. "Okay, see you guys there." Jungkook said before leaving.

"Well, Taehyung," Jin turned to look at him. "You won't be alone anymore. You can ride with Hoseok then. Hopefully he didn't pack as much as you did."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung's gloomy eyes stared out the window as the trees outside the car flew past him. He sighed.

"Are you okay, Taehyung?" Hoseok asked while his eyes remained on the road because he was a safe driver.

"I wanted to ride with Jungkook."

"You'll see him when we arrive at the lodge."

"But I wanted to spend time with him."

"You'll spend time with him when we get there."

It was silent after a few more minutes before Taehyung sighed once again. A lot of things were on his mind.

"Hyung," He said.

Hoseok hummed in response.

"What if I told you that Jungkook tried to kiss me."

Hoseok suddenly pressed the brake, jerking the car to a stop, causing the two passengers in the car to lurch forward in their seats.

It was a good thing there were no cars behind them.

Taehyung turned around in his seat and made sure that Yeontan was still safe inside his carrier bag. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw the little dog sleeping, unaware that Hoseok almost killed them.

"What the hell, hyung!" Taehyung shouted once he turned back around to face Hoseok.

"You almost kissed Jungkook?!"

"What? No, he tried to kiss me."

"Tried?" Hoseok asked.

Taehyung nodded. "Yeah, he tried to kiss me twice."

"Twice?!"

Taehyung nodded once again. "Yeah, the first time was when I was at the park with him and Yeontan. Thankfully, Yoongi called and saved me. I was panicking on the inside. Then, the second time was the other day. We were in a tree spying on Jimin and Yoongi, but thankfully, I quickly moved away before he kissed me."

"Are you serious?" Hoseok asked in disbelief.

"Serious about what? Spying on Jimin and Yoongi or-"

"Jungkook tried to kiss you, twice!"

"Yeah, I just said that." Taehyung said in a duh tone. "Were you even listening hyung?"

"Taehyung," Hoseok reached forward to grab the younger's hands. "He tried to kiss you twice and you're glad that it didn't happen?"

Taehyung sighed. "Let's just go hyung. The others have probably arrived and are probably waiting for us." He pulled his hands away from the older and turned his attention back to the window.

Hoseok pursed his lips into a thin line. He wanted to ask the younger a few more questions, but he knew how stubborn Taehyung was so he decided to leave him alone at the moment. He could ask more questions later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung turned off the lights of his bedroom before he made a dash for his bed. Then, he pulled the covers over his head and body as quick as he could.

He let out a sigh of relief as he was finally safe under his blanket with his tiger plushie in his arms and-

Wait

His tiger plushie wasn't in his arms.

Taehyung quickly roamed his hands around the mattress, trying to find the bunny plushie, but could not seem to find it.

He took a deep breath before taking a peek out from the blanket to make sure that it was safe before he stuck his arm out as well. Taehyung reached down to pat the carpet floor in search of his plushie, but the only thing he was able to feel was his dirty pair of socks that he took off earlier before going to bed.

Taehyung quickly pulled his arm back inside his blanket while thinking of the places where he could of possibly left his tiger plushie.

It couldn't of been his parents bedroom because his parents always scolded him about him still sleeping with a toy at the age of thirteen.

It couldn't of been the living room either because Taehyung is always afraid that his friends will spot the plushie every time he comes over so he hides it in his room.

Taehyung suddenly thought of a possible place where his tiger plushie could be.

He peeked out from the blanket and stared at his closed closet door.

Taehyung really didn't want to walk to his closet in the dark to search for the plushie, but it was special to him. It reminded him of Jungkook because the younger gave it to him, so he forced himself to get out of bed and walk to that closet door.

In most child's movies, there's always a monster in the closet, but Taehyung was no child and he knew that there was no monster in the closet. He was just simply too scared too open the closet door.

Why?

Well, I guess you could say that the little tiger plushie hiding in the closet was a representation of Taehyung.

Taehyung continued to stare at the closet door, contemplating if he should open the door or not. Finally, he gave up and ran back to his bed, hiding himself under the blankets where he felt safe.

If only Taehyung had opened the closet door, he would of found the little tiger plushie hiding in the closet. It would of felt safe being with Taehyung because it was afraid of the monsters that were outside of the closet.

It was afraid of coming out of the closet.

Taehyung was afraid of coming out of the closet.
