I sighed for a hundred times today as I leaned my head back, resting it on the headrest.
Jay was drinking with Jake beside him. I sat in the middle row with the two youngest behind me, fast asleep. Sunghoon had also drifted off to sleep, leaning against the window.
"How long until we get there~" I whined.
"Not long," Jay said enthusiastically "only another eight hours!"
The car was driving smoothly over the plowed roads lying in between the tall snowy mountains. Snow could be seen on both side, it stood as tall as the big car, if not taller. Although the car was warm and comfortable we chose to bring with us blankets and a pillow for comfort, something that came in handy with the two youngest as they had already occupied them, using them to provide themselves max comfort.
"How about we play 'one-word story'?" I asked.
"Sure, why not. Finally, something to make you stop sighting every ten seconds" Jake laughed.
Jay started, followed by Jake and me.
"Once upon a time..."
"A"
"Boy"
"Named"
"Hemsworth Carlongston the Fifth of Alofistan"
The story continued for another hour with some icebreakers here and there. In the end, we all agreed to not write a book any time in the future for the sake of society. Sunghoon even woke up and joined us.
"Let's stop for some snacks" Jake suggested as soon as he spotted a gas station along the road. We had now been driving for four hours. The sun shone brightly above us as we stepped out of the vehicle.
Sunghoon stayed a few extra seconds to slash some cold water on the two sleeping in the backseat.
"PARK FUCKING SUNGHOON!" A loud high pitched voice screamed behind us. Soon a tall slim figure ran past us, Sunghoon, followed by a very angry Sunoo.
"I thought he said "Splash some water in their faces" not dunk them in it" Jay uttered age turned around to see Niki walking toward us soaked in water with a frown on his face.
"Don't say anything" he muttered dragging his hand through his dark wet hair.
The two glass doors parted way as they let us into the small gas station. A small bell rang above us, signaling that consumers had entered the store. The small gas station was decorated nicely, although it looked like the store itself hadn't been renovated since the early 1980s.
"How many snacks should be bought?" Asked Sunoo dragging Niki around the store, stacking his arms with numerous snacks.
"Who's paying?"
"Jay~" we all sang in chorus. The younger sighed and nodded his head in defeat.
"Fine, but don't take too much or you'll have to pay yourselves"
"Thank you!" We all shouted.
Suddenly a young girl came walking out from a door behind the counter. She was texting on her phone when she stopped suddenly and looked up at us. She pinched the bridge of her nose and put her phone down on the counter. "Anything I can help you with" She suddenly shifted towards us with a fake smile plastered on her face.
"No, we're good," said Jake as he headed to the bathroom.
After about ten minutes all six of us were ready by the counter. We had stacked up with snacks, soda, and some salads Jay had pressured us to buy. It was apparently for our own good. Even though they will most likely be thrown to the back of the car to never be seen again until someone deep cleans the car in a decade or two.
I leaned my head back as I took a deep breath, before taking out my phone and unlocking it. Surprised I opened a text from Haewon. I opened the chat to see a picture of Haewons face partially covered by a gigantic hand.
Hae<3
Did you meet the big hand of something?
It's Soobin
The friendly giant
Soobin?
Ye
Who's that?
Wonnies Cousin
My new bestie
Oh

His super nice and funny
Guess I'm out of the picture then?
No no no
You can be the third tallest person
After Niki
He is growing like a tree
Groot
Oh my, YES
He is the teenager Groot
I looked up from the screen once I realized I had walked into Sunghoon accidentally on the way to the car. "Ey watch where you're going" he grunted irritated. One of the sodas he was holding had just fallen on the ground. "You're getting this one" he shot at me as he picked up the fallen soda.
"Ye ye, sorry. Now get inside"
For the next few hours we ate, had a karaoke competition, acted like therapists, filmed a music video, took some weird selfies, and acted like full-grown men. That was until we pulled up by a pizza restaurant and devoured half the menu in less than an hour. Safe to say, everyone except me fell asleep afterward.
With one hand on the wheel, I drove through the night. Quiet music playing in the background as I hummed to the soft tune. I checked the screen on the dashboard to see how long until we were to arrive at our destination.
"Three hours" I read in a whisper.
Do you ever dream of dreams
Of dreams
Of dreams
Of dreams
Of dreams
Of dreams yeah
"I'll fucking dunk you in pink paint you fucking asparagus"
I turned my head towards my right to see Jake sleep-talking beside me. He was fighting and lightly hitting something in the air as he muttered some words and sentences.
"Cow Juice"
"You know Niki, if it weren't for the fact that I am scared of Jay, I would have sent you off with some random Santa last midterm"
"Oh bagel-cobs"
