Jungkook was packing his bag excitedly as he hummed and ran along the room to grab anything that came to his mind. It was almost midnight and Jungkook was thrilled as a day. Mrs. Jeon suddenly appeared in his room. "What is that noise?" She groaned and her mouth fell into bemusement when she saw her boy rearranging the bed.

"I am almost done, mom." Jungkook didn't stop and kept pushing the big bed across the room.

"Stop if you want to be able to go to the states tomorrow." Mrs. Jeon warned in a dangerously low tone.

"But it's diagonal, at least let me straighten it." Jungkook pouted.

"Naaah. Get on the diagonal bed and I don't want one noise coming out of this room."

Jungkook hung his head low and jumped on the mattress, causing a plop to emerge and Mrs. Jeon sighed while shaking her head.

While inside the cover, Jungkook still couldn't sleep. He decided to text Jimin. Over the few weeks, they ended up texting each other in case of doubts. If Jungkook was to be fair, he reached out to Jimin even if he didn't have any queries.

Hey, Hyung? Slept?

Yes

What are you bringing to wear? Should we carry our formals?

Yes

Will we go outside? I mean should we also carry some casuals?

Yes

Can I ask my parents for extra money, just in case we need it?

Yes

Okay Hyung, good night. :)

Happy, but completely clueless of Jimin's sourness towards him as it wasn't something unexplored, Jungkook slept like a baby.

**

The morning was awaiting for Jungkook to open his eyes and just as the boy did, the Sun celebrated, the birds sang, and the wind started blowing in enthusiasm. He jumped off his bed.

Dancing and singing while using a toothbrush as a mic, he showered and got into his airport outfit, which was a black half-sleeved hooded jacket and black track pants. Jimin's parents were traveling abroad so Mr. Jeon took the responsibility to drop the kids at the airport.

"My little boy, listen carefully," Mrs. Jeon caressed the teenager's head. "Don't go at places where adults drink or smoke. Stay away from the trouble, don't spend on unnecessary stuff and Jimin will be there, so I think just do what he says. He is much smarter than you and he is your Hyung."

Jungkook nodded. The boy was delighted about the trip with Jimin and he anticipated that many things between them would change for good. "I will listen to Jimin Hyung, but I am smarter than him." Jungkook countered.

"Hyung," Jungkook called Jimin from the gaps between the seats in somewhat a whisper and squeal.

Jimin rolled his eyes under his eye mask with a raspy groan playing in his throat as he turned for the fourth time to look at Jungkook "Get your ass here and sit with me," he commanded.

As the boy stood, Jimin's usual frown flipped to smile, feeling good about himself that Jungkook acted cute with him and he got to order the younger around.

Jimin admitted that the boy was adorable, and that was making him miserable for the past few weeks they were meeting to prepare for the quiz. Jimin ended up disliking the fact that Jungkook talked to Utkarsha with such ease, even when the girl was a new friend.

"Sup, suckers?" Two voices Jimin hated to hear and wasn't willing to let them fall on his ears anywhere resounded as Jungkook was exchanging his seats with Utkarsha to sit beside Jimin.

Jimin glared at Do-Jin and Jaein. Feeling heat building inside at the evil smirks of the two, he shot up like a hurricane. "Sir, please sit down and put your seatbelts on." A very scared air hostess ran to the commotion to push Jimin back on his seats while the two classmates casually strolled towards the end of the plane.

"What the hell are they doing here?!" Jimin yelled at Jungkook who was anyway innocent.

"I didn't recommend their names, Hyung. Principal Bang told us that we are enough for the competition... But..."

"But what?" Jimin made Jungkook jump on his seat so he calmed his temper a little bit when he comprehended that the younger was scared of him.

"We needed six people in the group. Principal Bang told us to see them as seat fillers." Jungkook mumbled, turning his frame towards the window, not looking at Jimin.

"Us? All of you knew? Why wasn't I informed?" Jimin sighed, speaking as calmly as possible.

"We called you many times but you said and I quote "I don't want to see Bang's ugly face", what should have I done more? Drag you?" Jungkook asked dumbly, lips pouting and cheeks bunching up as the announcement blared from the captain's microphone.

Jungkook grabbed Jimin's hand and entangled his finger with his palm, not looking anywhere but at his own crotch before squeezing his eyes shut. "You are such a baby." Jimin chuckled.

"I haven't traveled in flight before, not at least in my consciousness." The boy admitted, causing a little, warm bubble in Jimin's heart to burst.

Clearing his throat, Jimin put his other palm over Jungkook's hand. The same hand that was in motion to break Jimin's bones with the way Jungkook was clutching. "It's okay, Jungkook. Close your eyes and it will be like you are in the air in a snap of a finger."

"Can I hug you, Hyung?" Jungkook asked, head still hung low. Jimin took a moment to think. "Please?"

How could have Jimin said no to that "please"? He only gasped when the boy turned so suddenly and nuzzled his head into his neck, ghosting his warm breath onto the older boy's neck that was sensitive.

A whimper grew and Jimin had to kill it before it made its presence known to the passengers. Taemin and Utkarsha laughed at Jungkook, of course adorably, thinking the younger was cute. But Jimin was aroused and he was hating it.

His pants were tightening at a certain area so he decided to distract himself. Looking up at the plane ceiling, he breathed in and out, but just as the flight picked speed on the runway, Jungkook's breathing quickened, giving arise to goosebumps to Jimin's body as he tried to douse his guttural moans.

Cursing himself for being so sensitive around that area and also that a mere baby turned him on, Jimin looked like he had shit his pants in the middle of the flight. It took for the girls a specific kind of sucking in a particular region for him to feel that way, but this, he wasn't buying it. How could Jungkook's innocent action cause his body to act this way?

"I am not sharing rooms, nu-uh..." Jimin shook his head at Ms. Cha.

"It's share with one person or with two, Jimin. We aren't on a luxury trip to Paris. You take what you get."

"Fine, I will book it myself, you wouldn't have a problem with that. Will you?" Jimin proposed.

"I don't," Ms. Cha rolled her eyes and saw Jimin taking off. "But the school would." She saw Jimin stomping his feet back and rushing into the room while murmuring and Taemin followed him inside.

Once the two disappeared in one room, Ms. Cha looked at the remaining three boys. Junkook was scratching his back and the evil duo was clinging onto each other, popping the bubble gum loudly for the teacher to squirm at their behavior. "Go on, there are two beds in there. One big and one small. Adjust accordingly."

The boys made a beeline to the other room and Ms. Cha and Utkarsha smiled at each other. "You get your own room." Ms. Cha whispered and Utkarsha's smile turned to an ecstatic squeal.

"I thought we would share," the girl mumbled, already planning a bash.

Everyone settled in their rooms, unpacked, and, ordered room service. Jaein and Do-Jin were on the bigger bed together while Jungkook was on a single queen bed. Taking out his iPad, he started watching a series after dinner for some time to refresh his mind. His plan later was to revise a few things but when the time arrived, he looked at the two sleeping already.

Jimin and Taemin on the other hand, went straight to a few mental exercises, revising, cross-questioning each other, and they were now preparing to sleep when Jimin heard a knock on the door.

Frowning but still answering, Jimin's brows edged up at the awkward Jungkook in his baby pink shorts and top sleepwear set.

"Can I sleep with you?"
