SONG JI-WON'S POV
Me and Hobi finished horse hunting pretty quickly, and when we got back home it was only around 2 pm.
Today was another day to spend time with the family, since tomorrow we'd be heading back home. However, in the evening, we were going to go make a bonfire with some good neighbor friends in a clearing, not far from a lake. I couldn't wait, since there would be good barbecue and we'd be lighting fireworks, for no specific reason.
When 8 pm came rolling by, we put all of the supplies and food into the trunk and drove to the clearing in the woods where we would have or little reunion celebration. The neighbors arrived soon after us and helped prepare everything. Me and Hoseok played with my little cousins while the adults worked- we had the easy task.
By 9, everything was ready. The sun had already set, and stars began taking their places in the dark sky. My mom called for everyone to gather around our giant pile of fire wood. Once everyone was present and paying attention in complete silence, she threw the match on the wood, igniting a big, bright fire. Everyone cheered and hugged each other, like it was Christmas or something. I didn't mind, I felt very at home.
For the first while everyone sat around the fire and we all had a big, nice group conversation. We got served a lot of food, which was so damn good I thought it could've come from heaven itself- and we ate, spending a lot of quality time together.
But you can only spend so much quality time before getting bored. We'd been there for a while already, it was 10:20.
I was smiling and making conversation with my little cousin, talking about some sort of kid show she was obsessing over, before Hoseok saved me.
"I'm not feeling well Jia, I'm really sorry, I need Ji-won to come with me back home so I can rest a little bit. I'll see you again later, so don't worry." He said, smiling.
She didn't argue or complain to him at all, just nodded and trotted away. As simply as that, with a quick nod to my mom that we were slipping away, he grabbed my hand and dragged me along.
As we walked through some trees, I asked "Are we really going back home?", actually enjoying the nature.
He turned and looked at me. "What's the fun in that?"
I grinned and didn't question him further, letting him guide me through the trees. It didn't take long for us to arrive at another clearing, the trees making way for a calm stream coursing through the ground. At this time of night, stars spread across the sky, dark green and blue on the landscape in front of me- I don't think I've ever seen something so simply beautiful.
I took in the view. "This is so pretty, how did you know where it was?" I asked. I noticed he was still holding my hand.
"You know your mom loves me, all I had to do was ask." He replied with a chuckle. Then, he walked closer to the water, sitting down only a few feet away from it. He tugged my hand, and I sat down in front of him, between his legs and leaning against him for some warmth. Just as good as the fire. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we sat there in a perfect silence, just relaxing and gazing off into the night.
"Let's pick a star." He said, looking upward. I followed his sight line and looked around through the tiny stars, seeing which one was the best.
I pointed up at a big one next to the moon. It really caught my eye. "I like that one."
"Yeah, me too." He replied, although now he was staring at me, not the sky.
I smiled and blushed a bit. "Our star, then."
He finally looked at it and grinned as well. "Our star. Let's name it."
"Leehyun!" I exclaimed, and Hoseok rolled his eyes playfully knowing my obsession with the singer.
"Let's see, if we had a kid, what would we name it?" He asked teasingly, and I laughed and lightly hit his arm.
"Then let's keep it simple and call it J & J." I said, nodding to myself.
"That has a nice ring to it, let's keep it." He agreed. There's a lot of names that start with J... it could mean anyone couldn't it...
No, this one is Ji-won and Jhope. This one is for us.
We sat there for what seemed like a beautiful eternity, talking every now and then but mostly silent keeping each other company. I was starting to fall asleep, but when he spoke again, the seriousness in his tone fully woke me up.
"Ji-won." He said softly, sounding like he was going to say something important.
"Yeah?" I replied, sitting up a bit more.
He gently grabbed my chin and turned my head, so I turned my torso toward him and sat more in the side, so I could look him in the eye. "What is it?"
He gazed at me with big eyes, keeping one arm around my waist and moving hair out of my face with the other.
"I've told you once before, but we were drunk and it was a mess. I... I'm not sure if this is something you even want to hear, but the more I don't say it the stronger it all gets." He was looking into my eyes with such a powerful expression that I couldn't find words. I just stared back, not even daring to blink.
His hand went down from my face and back to my waist. He looked like he was having trouble speaking too.
"I have to be honest with you, I can't keep pretending that I'm fine with this." He said, pausing for a few long seconds.
"I love you."
My heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of pure joy spread throughout me. I've heard this before- but this time is so different on so many levels. He loves me, and I truly know it now.
"I love you so much that it hurts sometimes." He continued. "And I'm scared for our friendship, but you're important enough to me that I know I won't lose you no matter what happens."
He sighed at the next part.
"I know you have feelings for Jungkook too. That's why I'm going to try my best to make you mine."
Mine, his, Jungkook... this was so much to take in even though I thought I already knew. But I didn't really know until this moment.
I stared back at him, wanting to spill all my feelings for him and that I just want us to be together, but I know deep down that that's not true, so I can't find with power to speak.
"I don't need an answer right now, you don't need to say anything." He said softly. "You can answer me another day, when you've figured it all out. Right now, all you need to do is understand that I love you,"
We stared at each other, and despite everything I felt like I was falling in love all over again. He leaned closer to me, his eyes flickering to my lips. "And kiss me."
He gently pressed his lips against mine, kissing me softly, slowly, meaningfully. This is the third time, but it feels more real than both combined. This feels like a first.
I hesitated for a second before kissing him back. Even though I can't say what I want to say, I can at least let him know part of my feelings. I leaned in toward him, changing the angle and moving my lips along with him. It was so sweet and genuine.
Right then, I heard fireworks popping in the background, and I smile slightly against his lips. There couldn't have been better timing.
I wrap my arms around his neck lightly, and we held each other as we kissed, getting lost in the world of one another's lips.
His tongue eventually swirled into the mix, exploring me slowly, like he didn't want to move too fast. I love that.
The kiss didn't progress to rough, but it got more passionate. I was subconsciously leaning in too much, and he slowly laid on the grass as I moved down with him.
We both pulled away for a moment, taking long breaths. I kept my eyes closed, overwhelmed but so happy. My heart was beating so fast, but his was too since I could feel it pressed against my chest. It almost seemed like they were in sync.
He lifted his head a tiny bit and softly kissed my bottom lip, and I couldn't help but lean in again, continuing what we had momentarily paused.
At some point throughout our kisses, that got more passionate every time, we came to a sitting position again, on his lap, my legs wrapped around his waist, my hands around his neck again.
The next time he pulled away, instead of going back to the kiss, he left butterfly ones across my cheek like he had this morning, down my jaw, my neck, to my shoulder, where he began kissing me softly, his hands still placed on my hips.
I've wanted this for so long, and now that it's here I can barely comprehend. It all just feels so good and so right, that I don't think about any aftermath in the moment. It was so perfect, like this entire night, and I just wanted to stay like this forever.

JEON JUNGKOOK'S POV
I swear to fucking god.
She's been ignoring me all weekend! What is this?? Is she pissed or something? I didn't do anything wrong. Besides threaten her with another mark before she left, but that doesn't count.
It has to be Hoseok, he probably blocked me from her phone or told her not to talk to me. Sneaky bitch.
But no, Hoseok's so nice. He wouldn't do that. Besides, Ji-won wouldn't listen to him anyway. She's just purposely giving me a silent treatment.
This whole weekend I've been deathly bored. Like, the only times I leave my room is to eat, and...
Well I guess that's actually it. I've been on my phone, playing video games, I studied for a solid 50 minutes- because that's how fucking bored I am.
I'm also pissed, so I'm not in the mood to hang out with anyone. What a waste of a long weekend, dammit. And today's the last day. It's 10 in the morning, and I'm just laying in bed, scrolling through the endless texts I've sent Ji-won.
Holy shit, I don't remember sending this many...
Fuck they just don't stop.
I could scroll forever.
I fucked up, I'm being clingy, and I'm never clingy. I don't know what's happening to me, I should just put my phone down and call Taehyung an-
My mother suddenly walks in, probably to check if I'm awake. The second she sees me on my phone, she groaned in frustration.
"Jeon Jungkook!!" She yells. "You haven't put down that device in the past 2 days, and I'm sick of it! When you woke up, you didn't even come say good morning, you just went straight to your little games. Give me the phone." She demands sticking her hand out. I stay silent. "Now!!" She yells, walking over and snatching it from me. I gasp and immediately stand up.
"Wait mom no!" I exclaim, now sounding kind of like a little whiny kid. She looks at me with a blank expression. "I need it."
"For what?"
I bite my lip. "Because, I'm waiting for someone to reply."
"All weekend you've been waiting?" She scoffs. "If they haven't replied by now it's obvious they don't want to speak to you."
Ouch. "Eomma please!"
"Who is it hm?" She asks, placing a hand on her hip.
I blushed a little. "Do I really need to-"
"I swear on the lord himself if you have yet another girlfriend you won't see the light of-"
"Ji-won." I blurt quickly. It's embarrassing, but I know it'll work.
Her expression instantly softens. "Oh really? Your lovely tutor? How has she been these days?" She asks, smiling a bit. Bipolar as fuck.
"I don't know, she hasn't answered me." I snap, getting a glare from her. I sigh, and try to put on a tiny smile. "I'm very worried about her Eomma, I truly am. She went on a trip recently, and I'm worried she might've gotten into trouble. I have to wait for a reply in case she needs anything."
She furrows her eyebrows and puts a hand over her heart. "Oh my, that's so sweet of you!" She sighs, smiling. She hands back my phone and ruffles my hair. "What did I do to deserve such a good boy? Come down for breakfast soon! I'm so glad you're looking out for her." She says before walking out.
The second the door closes, I pull out my phone and text Ji-won for the last time.
Just wait till you get back.

SONG JI-WON'S POV
"I have to pee goddammit!!" I yell at Hoseok as he turns a corner.
"You peed less than an hour ago!"
"JUNG HOSEOK IMA FUCKIN PEE IN YOUR CAR IF YOU DON'T PULL OVER AT THE NEXT GAS STATION!!"
"OK IM GOING DON'T PEE IN MY FUCKING CAR JESUS!!"
"IF YOU DON'T HURRY THE HELL UP IMA TAKE A SHIT HERE TOO!"
Luckily a gas station was seconds away, and I sprinted out and finally relieved myself.
When I stepped out I found Hobi leaning against the wall outside the ladies restroom.
"Sorryyy about that." I chuckled nervously as I walked up to him. He glanced at me and glared.
I leaned a little closer and lowered my voice. "The truth is I didn't even have to pee that bad I just wanted to stop somewhere to buy some chips, but you wouldn't have let me otherwise." I whispered with a smirk.
His mouth hung open in disbelief and he scoffed. "You sneaky little-"
"I'll be in the chips isle!" I exclaimed, trotting away before he could finish. I scrolled through the selections happily, in a good mood for no specific reason.
Unfortunately, this gas station was low quality, and mostly had sun chips and lays and stuff like that. Where are the Pringles, dammit??
But then I saw something better.
Honey Butter Chips. The miracles of South Korea. I realized I hadn't eaten them in the longest time, and I suddenly craved them so badly. The downside was that they were on the very top shelf.
I stood on my tiptoes and reached as high as I possibly could, but my goal was too far up, and I just couldn't make it.
Just then, a felt a larger presence behind me, that reached up over my head and easily grabbed the chips. I turned around, confronted by Hoseok who was standing very close in front of me, having me trapped against the shelf. We made solid eye contact as he opened the bag, and he smiled when he grabbed a chip and brought it up to my lips. I grinned lightly as well as I opened my mouth and ate it. I forgot how good they tasted, it was orgasmic.
We stared at each other for some long moments as I chewed and he was so close that I practically felt him against me. He gently lifted his hand and casually moved hair out of my face. He chuckled cutely and pinched my cheek before walking away, taking the chips with him.
I sighed when he was gone, my heart beating fast. Why is everything he does so damn cute??
I struggled but somehow managed to grab two more bags without Hoseok, and we paid and went back to driving, enjoying our orgasmic fried potato slices on the road.
I was sad that our trip was over, but at least I had fun and it was fairly romantic. Plus, we had many more hours of driving ahead of us. Just us, I smiled.
But then I thought of Jungkook's text this morning. Just wait till you get home. I couldn't tell if I was scared or slightly excited. Both, I decided, not paying attention to it any longer.
Later during the ride, Hobi was surfing through radio stations, always landing on something shitty.
"You're a great dj, you know." I said sarcastically. He chuckled.
"I have other, more useful talents."
I glanced at him. "Such as?"
He smiled innocently, and looked to me as well, and we made eye contact for a few moments. "Well I don't know, am I a good kisser?"
I blushed and tried to bite back a grin. After some hesitation, I replied. "I mean, I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't bad."
"Not bad? That's it?" He asked, wanting more. He did deserve some credit.
"Ok, you were good." I said dismissively, too nervous.
"Just good?" He teased further.
"Fine, I'll admit you're a great kisser." I blurted quickly, looking away in embarrassment.
He nodded in satisfaction. "So, that means you wouldn't mind if I did it again?" He asked slowly, and I saw the smirk on his lips from my side vision.
"How many girls have you practiced with to perfect your kissing, hm?" I asked, avoiding his question.
"Definitely not as many as Jungkook has." He replied, and I couldn't help but laugh and nod.
"Touché." I said. Jungkook does play around a lot, doesn't he...
Do I just want to be another one of his games?
