'Sup, sup?' Jungkook joined us for lunch time, sitting down next to me

I noticed Iyera giving him the sideeye, but she didn't comment. I pretended not to care, but all of my insides were jumping with happiness. Happiness and shame from everything I said and did last night.

'Are we still on for that camping trip?' He asks

We spoke about going camping about half a year ago, and back then, everyone was thrilled. But a few things changed since then. It's not like I'm dying to spend a few days with him out in the middle of nowhere.

'I mean, I'm okay either way.' Taehyung shrugs. 'What about you?' He asks Iyera

'If you go, I go.' She leans her head on his shoulder and he plants a tiny kiss on her forehead

'What about you?' Jungkook nudges me

Iyera made sort of a 'what the fuck' face, and Jimin just glanced at me, then back down at his plate. He is truly acting as if he doesn't know.

'I don't think this is a smart idea for me. I don't think they have ambulance anywhere in the hills, and we all know I will do something.' I make up an excuse

'Not if your guardian angel comes with. Whatcha say, Jimin?' Iyera asks him

'Sorry, what?' He was either not paying attention, or he didn't wanna go so he pretended not to hear

'Camping trip. You in?' She asks again

'Come on. It will be fun.' Taehyung bumps him lightly

'I'll think about it?' He said it more like a question than anything else

'There you go. If he goes, I go. If he doesn't, I don't either.' I'll just use him as leverage. It might have sounded a bit more wrong than I intended it to be, seeing how Jungkook made a fist under the table

'That is just a dirty trick.' Jimin clicks his tongue

'Maybe so, but that's how it is.' I sigh

He looked like he was thinking about it for a moment, then gave in with a heavy sigh. 'I guess I can show up.' 

'Yesss!' Taehyung makes fists in celebration, and Iyera claps excitedly

'The more the merrier.' Jungkook put up his fake grin that never reaches his eyes

-----

And so, the trip day arrived. 

We decided to meet up at Taehyung's as he is going to be driving. He is kinda loaded, so he has a huge range rover than can fit all of us with no issues, plus all the camping stuff.

'Are you moving or something?' Jungkook was laughing at Iyera, who packed a mini suitcase

'You never know what you might need!' She protests

'I doubt you'll need that, whatever that is.' Jungkook points at the cord that is poking out between the zipper pattern

'I think he might be right, babe. I don't think you'll have many electric plugs in the woods.' Tae smiled softly, stroking her hair

'I guess I can repack.' She pouts cutely

'Where is Jimin?' Tae asks

'Speak of the devil.' Jungkook mutters, seeing Jimin drag himself to us. I've only ever seen him in jeans. And right now, he is rocking black cargos and cargo boots. That is kinda hot, not gonna lie

'Damn. Are you going to a fashion show or you going camping?' Iyera teases as he comes close

'What? It's comfy and useful. See? Pockets.' He giggles, flapping his legs to show off all the pockets he has. I suppose he is right. They are handy.

'What's with that huge bag?' Jungkook asks

'Oh, that's because of her.' He points at me, making everyone look at me

'Huh? Me?' I point at myself, asking in confusion

He nods and puts his bag down, opening it to show whatever was in there. 'I figured, considering she's going, we might need these.' He pulled out a first-aid box, a bunch of ice and heat packs, a lot of medicine. 'Oh, and this.' He snickered, pulling out a roll of bubblewrap, making them laugh

'You truly came fully prepared.' Taehyung keeps laughing

'I had to. She almost dies 5 times a day in school, and all she does is sit. I can't even imagine what's gonna happen in nature.' 

'Guardian angel, indeed.' Iyera grins

'What's with that guardian angel thing?' Jungkook muttered under his breath, but I heard him clearly as he was right next to me

'Now that you all made fun of me, can we get going?' I pout

'Yep. Let's load up and get moving.'

Thank God for Jungkook being too big to sit comfortably in the back with us, so he was sent to the shotgun. Not that there is not enough space, but I prefer this.

I sat in the middle as I can't sleep in the cars, and Jimin and Iyera took window seats. She was alseep within 10 minutes of the drive.

Jungkook was in charge of the music and keeping the driver awake. And we could just sit back and relax for the next 2 hours or so.

'I haven't gone camping since I was a kid.' Jimin mumbles as he watches through the window

'Same here. I hate the bugs, so I'm not big on it.' I shudder at the mere thought

'It's not summer, so you won't have many issues with them.' He smiles

'If I do, I'm blaming you for lying.' 

He laughed, shaking his head, patting me on the head lightly. 'I'll save you from the bugs. I'll add it to my to do list.'

'You'll have to save me from those, too. I hate them with passion.' Tae overheard it and joined in on the convo

'Did you bring me along just to take care of the bugs?' Jimin jokes

'And Yeona.' Tae adds

Bot of them chuckled a bit, but I saw Jungkook roll his eyes and exhale quietly, looking out the window. He genuinely doesn't like Jimin. At least he's not being a dick to him, so there's that.

Now let's hope he doesn't try to kill him somewhere in the woods.
