"What's the matter, Kookie?"

Namjoon first noticed it on their trip to Jeju Island. 

Everyone had been rushing to get to the hotel, eager to pick out the best room first.

"Hey, Stop pushing!" Jin yelled "Taehyung NO!"

Taehyung slowly removed his foot off of Jimin's back. Jimin lifts off of the ground, pouting and begrudgingly rubbing his sore side.

"We will do this the right way," Jin barked "Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

"Whoever wins will choose their roommate." Jin added.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!" The first winner was Jimin, selecting Taehyung as his partner, although Tae did attack him, dragging him by his hair to Room 301. The room with the biggest bed and the best A/C.

"Ah, Jiminie!" Taehyung complained "That hurts!"

Before the next round, Namjoon caught eyes with Jungkook. It was like a promise, that if either of them won, they would choose each other as room mates.

Except, it wasn't a promise.

The next round, Jungkook won and he surprisingly chose Hoseok as his room mate looking away from Namjoon apologetically.

"Ah," Jungkook faltered "Sorry Hyung, I'm rooming with Hoseok. I promised him before we got here."

So....

Namjoon ended up squeezing into a bed with both Jin Hyung and Yoongi Hyung, sweating half to death and suffocating on the smell of feet and Jin's god-forsaken Lavender dollar store body wash.

The next morning, they all had a completely full schedule, so Namjoon couldn't even get a "Hi." or a "Bye." in before he was dragged to some meeting with the producers or PD Bang-nim, going to his Pilates session with his personal trainer, or discussing with the manager the photoshoots, and video shooting sessions they would have coming up during the trip. Namjoon didn't have time to sit down and talk to Jungkook about that situation, because he was being pulled every which way. It made Namjoon feel bad, because he knows that there is something wrong with their favorite maknae, which makes him throw himself into his work even harder.

Though, that made the situation get worse. Like, PROGRESSIVELY more worse.

It was Wednesday, one of the few free days that they all have during this trip, despite the fact that the trip was really supposed to be a vacation. So, Namjoon planned to finally, FINALLY spend time with Jungkook and the rest of the members.

They had traveled down to an isolated part of a beach, and set up camp. They all had separate things to do. Namjoon had been chosen, under Seokjin's supervision, to put together the tents.

"Hey, Jungkook did you want to help us set up the tents?" Namjoon smiled, holding up the instructions.

Jungkook, who had been walking in Namjoon's direction, quickly turned around and started helping Yoongi collect the items to start the bond fire.

"Sorry Hyung," Jungkook sputtered loudly "I have to help Yoongi Hyung with this."

Okay. 

That was weird.

Seokjin bumped elbows with Namjoon, "Ah don't mind, don't mind" He hummed.

After a few unsuccessful attempts to set up the tents. Namjoon was sent to go and "play" with the children. Which actually meant that he was going to spend the next thirty minutes getting bullied by Taehyung and Jimin.
