TWENTY-FIVE:

"I'm so excited!!" Wendy gushes as she pulls on a t-shirt over her bra and underwear before quickly pulling on a pair of thin, cotton shorts. Jungkook shoots her a weird glance and she shrugs, "what? We're gonna be in a tub with multiple boys and I'm not ready to show my body like that," Jungkook laughs at her response, before he says, "yeah? To which most of them are gay and wouldn't even glance at you." She scoffs, throwing a pillow at him, "you're so rude!" She complains, whining slightly.

Jungkook let's the pillow flop on his face, and he dramatically falls backwards, groaning a little before laughing, "what?" He sings, shurgging a little bit, "I'm only telling the truth!" He shouts, trying to defend himself as Wendy hurls another pillow right on his face. She whines, her lips forming a pout as she says, "yeah but you're bisexual, so who knows if you're crushing on me or not," she wiggles her eyebrows, giving him suspicious looks as he sat up straight. He laughs out loud, a little too much for Wendy's liking, "it's because of you, you're the sole reason why I like dick more. However, I also like girls but when I see you act like a man I lean towards my fellow bros side."

No it's Wendy's turn to laugh, and she picks up the nearest thing next to her - a water bottle - and throws it at Jungkook quickly. He catches it in time and looks at her with feigned sadness, "you've seriously got to stop throwing things at me like I'm a dog willing to play fetch," she rolls her eyes at his response and pulls on her thick coat that reached to her knees.

"You're my doggy," she says, reaching over to pet Jungkook on his head, cooing down at him. He gives her the best glare that he can muster, hoping to burn her on the spot with the fiery glare he was giving her. She laughs, chuckling at her best friends pouty face and ruffles his hair, "hey, I'm joking you idiot, you're not a dog. You're a bunny." Jungkook sighs, flopping back on her bed. She sees this and grabs his legs, dragging him off the bed. Jungkook yells out in protest, trying to latch onto the covers, but Wendy is too strong.

He falls to floor with a slight thump and then glares at her. As he stands up he rubs his butt, "damn, what the fuck do you eat to make you this strong?" He complains, pulling his coat on. Wendy shrugs, winking at the cherry haired boy before smiling, "i don't know honestly, maybe it's the disgusting stew and rock hard rice that they feed us." Jungkook chuckles. Yup, the food that they had been eating for the past week was so disgusting, but they had finally started getting used to the off taste of the stew and rock hard cold rice.

"You know what's funny," Jungkook begins as the two starts to walk over to Jin and Hoseok's room, "that this resort must get so much money from the amount of people staying, and the hot tub offers as well as that. Yet they can't afford to get a new caterer." Wendy bursts out laughing, "that's so true like honestly, this place is too fancy. With the varnished wooden cabins and the perfectly placed rocks and shit. But they couldn't get better food? Like hot damn. If this place was falling apart with nice food, I'd prefer that than here."

Jungkook and Wendy continue to badmouth the food, right until they reach Jin and Hoseok's shared room. Jungkook shivers, feeling the wind from the hallways hit his exposed legs. The group has decided that it was better to get dressed for the tub before hand because they didn't want to waste any time. Wendy knocks on the door, looking back at the cherry haired boy, "are you nervous?" Jungkook looks up at her, "kind of, I mean my whole body prunes up when I get into the water–" Wendy slaps Jungkook on the back of the head which stops him from talking any further. He mumbles a quick "ouch" before looking at her with angry eyes, "why did you do that?"

"I meant about seeing Taehyung. The whole group, his and yours is going to be there. Are you nervous about that?" Wendy asks again, leaning her arm on Jungkook's shoulders, Jungkook thinks for a moment or two before shrugging, "honestly, I never thought about it until now. Maybe I am. But I don't want to give anything away to everyone so I'm just going to act like everything is normal, and he totally didn't suck me off and then dip."

Wendy's eyes bulge, "what?" She screams out, people around them stopping to look at her weirdly. Jungkook only flashes her a nervous grin, his stomach dropping as he dwelled more on the fact that he's going to be in a short, small space with Taehyung's friends and his own.

It was okay, he was just going to be normal. It was a while since he's talked to Jimin and the rest anyways, so he wasn't going to let his own thoughts ruin the fun, and ruin the fact that his friends had made an effort to hang out with each other.

Soon enough, Jin opens the door, some cute bathing shorts and a jacket over his top half on his body. He smiles, "sorry for being so late, Hoseok was taking his damn time to get ready," Hoseok follows after Jin wearing the same thing, a bag in his hand, "it wasn't my fault you were hogging the creams. I had to lotion up my skin otherwise it would dry up like a raisin."

Wendy giggles, "we're going to be in so much trouble for skipping the hike but oh well, we'll suffer the consequences afterwards."

------

"Ooh, this looks so fancy," Jimin says, his hand in Yoongi's as they walk into the outdoor hot tub area. Jungkook stood next to Wendy, feeling Taehyung's heated stare on his back. But no, he wasn't going to give Taehyung the satisfaction of their eyes meeting. He wasn't going to talk to Taehyung at all. Even if it meant that he was going to hurt himself in the process. Taehyung should see and notice his owns mistakes and then apologize for making Jungkook feel like a worthless one night stand. It was really just that simple.

But Jungkook knew Taehyung. And Taehyung was stubborn. Meaning it would take a good couple of days for Taehyung to even speak to Jungkook about his feelings.

But was Taehyung worth the wait?

Everyone gets into the water, the sounds of splashing and water hitting the wooden ground hitting everyone's ears. Namjoon shifts closer to Jin, putting an arm around him, "sorry...no space." Jin giggles, somehow moving even closer to Namjoon, "I think I'm quite alright with that," he whispers, earning a smile and wink from the taller boy. Namjoon chuckles, beginning to talk about a book he head read recently to Jin, who looked genuinely interested.

Whereas Wendy and Hoseok were opposite each other, splashing each other, "that's for making me sit on my own finger," Wendy shouts slightly, a slight giggle dancing on her lips. Hoseok gets slapped by the water, his hair damp and sticking to his forehead. Hoseok glares at her playfully, "and that's for guilt tripping me into giving you that chocolate croissant." Wendy opens her mouth to protest but instead, is met with water hitting her. She coughs, choking on the huge gulp of water she was forced to swallow, "gross!" She wines, moving to Hoseok's side, he holds her tightly even though the two were still arguing back and forth.

Yoongi was talking to Jimin about going on plenty of dates after the resotrt trip would come to and end. "Baby, I'm serious. This trip only brought us closer and I can't wait to take you out on so many dates and treat you," Jimin sighs with content, resting his head on Yoongi's bare shoulder, placing a small kiss on it, "I'm so glad that Taehyung introduced us because now I don't know what I would to without you," Jimin says softly, holding Yoongi's hand tightly.

Taehyung joins in on their conversation at the mention of his name, he pulls off his white t-shirt, settling more into the hot tub. And Jungkook can't help but stare. Little bunbun had no one else to talk to, so he was left in the corner to fend into his own thoughts. Taehyung doesn't miss the slight stare from Jungkook, and smirks a little bit before flashing his signature poker face one more.

Jimin notices this and sighs very loudly, but Taehyung ignores it and continues to talk to Yoongi, "remember before you met Jimin? You were so mean to everyone you met. Yoongi chuckles, continuing to obliviously talk to Taehyung.

It was obvious that Taehyung wanted to make it seem like he didn't care and it was driving Jungkook crazy. So, so crazy.

But of course, Taehyung did care, Jungkook didn't need to know that though. Because Taehyung was angry. Angry at Jungkook and most importantly angry at himself. He let his guard down knowing that Jungkook would regret it. And what happened? Jungkook regretted it. And left him all together, by moving into Hoseok's room.

Jimin notices the very obvious tension between the two, even though they were diagonal to each other and opposite each other, Jimin's keen eyes observed how Jungkook would give heated stares, and Taehyung would give cold, harsh glances as replies. Once more, Jimin sighs, he moves closer to Jungkook, smiling when the cherry haired boy meets his soft eyes.

"Hey Jungkook, you look lonely," Jimin starts, to which Jungkook chuckles, "do I really look that lonely?" Jimin smiles softly, shrugging, "I mean...you are sitting in the corner, picking at your wet hands, not knowing were to look.. so that would result in my answer to be...yes. You do look quite lonely, but fret not Jimin is here."

Jungkook just smiles at those words, looking down at his white t-shirt that clung to his body. Jimin let's out a small breath, "hey..what's up?" He whispers, making Jungkook's head snap up, "what do you mean? 'm fine. Just thinking about how Mrs Wilson is going to be down our throats." Jimin rolls his eyes, "please don't remind me, oh god." Jungkook laughs, his bunny smile reaching his ears. It falls silent between the two once more, but it doesn't last.

"Hey guys I'm going to play some music, and I'm the DJ so everyone, let's not get excited. Jungkook can you grab my phone," Jungkook nods, standing up. The water sticks to his body like glue, the baggy t-shirt now clinging to his wet body for dear life, showing off his curves, small waist, thick thighs and prominent nipples poking out through the now see through t-shirt.

Taehyung notices this, and suddenly feels as if the water around him was scalding him. Burning his skin. Taehyung has never wanted to pin Jungkook down and ram into him more than he's feeling right now. Wanting to hear the breathy moans escaping Jungkook's pretty pink lips, fucking into the smaller boy so hard that he finds it difficult to walk. Taehyung rids of those thoughts, trying to keep his cool and composure, he leans his head against the rim of the tub, his breathing heavy.

Jungkook slides back into the tub, panting, "why was your phone so far away?" He says, his eyes finding their way to Taehyung, who was taking deep breaths. Jimin shrugs and Jungkook glances at him before his eyes shift back to Taehyung.

Yoongi whispers, "dude, are you okay? You don't look so good." Taehyung nods, and rasps out, "yeah," louder than it should have been. Jungkook's ears perk up at the husky, deep voice of Taehyung's. His stomach tingling, fingers shaking as he carefully hands Jimin's phone to the smaller boy.

A beast came out the night before, a beast that the two never knew existed until they were intimate with each other. And now it was controlling the two, making the two go absolutely bonkers for each other. The sad thing was, that they didn't even know much they wanted each other. Jungkook didn't understand why he wanted his legs wrapped around Taehyung's body, body jerking with every thrust. And Taehyung didn't know why he wanted to stuff his cock into the smaller boy, making the little bunbun scream out and beg for more.

"Okay guys! I'm playing this song on repeat and if any of you have a problem, be glad to kiss my ass," Jimin says as summer by Calvin Harris begins to play, snapping the two lust birds out of their dirty thoughts of each other. No, Jungkook was not going to give in. He was going to stay strong, and keep himself from doing things that he would later regret.

Taehyung on the other hand, was another minute away from taking Jungkook right there and then in front of everybody. He just couldn't control it. No matter how hard he thought about all the things he hated, one little sliver of a thought would slip into his mind and boom, he was thinking about Jungkook. His bunny teeth, his passion for everything he did, his small body that seemed like it was just made for Taehyung.

And yet, Taehyung still didn't want to admit that Jungkook meant more to him that a distant friend from all those years ago.

He wanted Jungkook, but he didn't want all of the fear that came with admitting his feelings to himself. So he was denial? It's not a big deal, right?

Oh but of course it was a big deal. Taehyung was just one step away from claiming his happiness with Jungkook, and they both knew it. And for every minute Taehyung spent fearing the future, the more steps backwards they took.

And that's when Jimin begins to spice it up. Something clearly had to be done. And Jimin knew himself that the neither of them would make the first move. Jimin waited for a moment or two before saying loudly, "so Taehyung! I heard you have a crush?"

Jungkook's head snaps to the side, like he'd been slapped, and he was staring at Jimin with wonder. A crush?

Taehyung looks at Jimin with confusion, hinting at the older to shut up. But, Jimin doesn't. "You told me so! So don't even try deny it." Taehyung sighs, sitting up straight, "Jimin, I never told you anything."

Jungkook looks between the two.

What the hell was going on?

Jimin tilts his head, fluffy hair falling to the side as he smiles mischievously, "are you sure? Because today morning you told me that you had feelings for someone...can't remember their name though," he pauses, waiting for Taehyung's reaction. By now, everyone else is looking and listening to their conversation.

Namjoon pats Taehyung on his back, "dude. You got someone you like? And here I thought you were just going to be a lonely boy who fucks around your whole life," Namjoon chuckles before wrapping his arms around Jin. But Jin is too wrapped up in Jungkook's expression to blush or look at Namjoon. And so is Hoseok, as well as Wendy. They all look equally worried for Jungkook.

Jungkook tries his best to hide his confusion, worry and apprehension. So that's why Taehyung ran from him. He liked someone else and regretted being intimate with Jungkook.

When I met you in the summer.

The song starts to play again, as the same thoughts repeat in Jungkook's mind, over and over again like a broken record. This was so wrong. On a miraculous level.

To my heart beat sounds.

Jungkook's finger shakes, waiting for the next few words between Jimin and Taehyung. His heart racing. Taehyung looks pissed. And Jimin, well Jimin looks happy that he's getting some sort of reaction out of the boy.

Taehyung's jaw clenched, trying to scan just why Jimin decided today was the day to pick a fight.

We fell in love, as the leaves turned brown.

Jungkook shivers, feeling the tension between the two friends. It was like they were having a mental conversation. Jungkook looks up to the trees. Not knowing if he and the rest should leave Jimin and Taehyung to talk it out.

Everything just seemed so complicated right now. And Jungkook didn't know what to do.

And we can be together baby, as long as the sky stays blue.

Nobody spoke, until finally, Jimin smirks, "oh now I remembered! Their name started with a J," Jungkook's heart beats with anticipation. What was even happening? Every second mattered right now. Every single second. And Jungkook just wanted to pause.

And so did Taehyung. Even though he tried his best, his eyes were pleading Jimin to not say a further word. One second, everything was fine and the next, he was anticipating. In a split second almost everything could change. One simple falling of a leaf, if you stop that you could make paramounts of change that no one would expect. A single leaf not reaching the ground could cause murder, birth, death, life and so much more but no one would expect that a single leaf falling made all of that happen. So what did Taehyung do in that single second that he had?

You act so innocent now.

So he made a little white lie. Not expecting that he could singlehandedly cause so many changes, so many emotions and so many decisions from that single little lie. A lie that broke hearts. A lie that brought tears. A lie that could bring so much negativity.

But you lied so soon.
