"Hoodies, pants, underwear," I mumble while checking everything I packed into the medium sized suitcase for the last time. "I forgot the socks."

"Are you done?" Kihyun peeks into my room "Or do you still need help with packing your stuff?" He says in a mocking way.

"I think I got everything."

"Good then bring your suitcase downstairs, Shownu hyung and Jooheon are gonna put them into the cars."

I nod, pulling the zipper.
The guys and I decided that we wanted to go on our first private trip together. A week in the mountains sounded just right. It's winter so we'll do some skiing and snowboarding and spend NewYears eve there.

Happily I pull the suitcase out of my room. After a quick visit to the kitchen, where I stuff my bag with snacks, I leave the dorm, locking the door behind me.

"Ah there you are Hyejin-ah. Did you lock the door?" Shownu asks
"I did." I hold up the keys
"We're gonna take three cars, so decide who you wanna go with." He says looking at all the members.
My gaze instantly meets Wonho's, making me blush. "I'll go with Hoseok hyung!" I exclaim, securing the passenger seat in Wonho's car. Hyungwon sits in the back making himself a comfortable spot.
Meanwhile Minhyuk, Jooheon and Changkyun all pack their stuff into one of the cars and immediately take their seats. I laugh seeing Kihyun and Shownu shrug, look at each other and enter the last car.

"So, are we ready?" Wonho asks
"Yes!" I cheer excitedly.
"Hmh" Hyungwon says in the back.
"Then let's go!"He giggles joyfully

Our car follows Shownu and Kihyun's behind us is 'team chaos' as I like to call them, Minhyuk, Jooheon and Changkyun.

A lot of time passes as we hopelessly try to get out of the busy streets of Seoul. Every now and then Wonho let's out a mumbled curse.
An hour and a half later we finally succeed and slowly but surely we make it out of the exhausting city life in Seoul.
"The scenery is so beautiful." I smile and turn at Wonho, who's rather focused on driving.
"Really? You're more beautiful." He says not moving his eyes from the road.
I widen my eyes at his sudden words and start blushing like crazy once again.
He glances at me and widens his eyes, as if he's realizing what he said just now.
Wonho clears his throat "Did Hyungwon fall asleep?"

"Looks like he did." I turn around, trying to reach for the blanket next to him in order to cover Hyungwon with it.
After that it's quiet for a few minutes. I hate the awkwardness. We've been living together for such a long time yet Wonho and I somehow manage to create an awkward silence. It's weirds isn't it? This almost never happens with any other member.
"Do you want to eat anything? I brought some snacks." I finally say trying to break the silence.

"Sure, do you have Pocky?"

"Of course. Here." I put one of the sticks in Wonho's mouth.

"Oh you don't need to- you can just give them to me." He says his ears taking a noticeably darker shade of red.

"No, you're driving besides weren't you the one who was jealous of Changkyun yesterday?"

"I told you I wasn't jealous."

"Don't be a Tsundere hyung, just admit it." I continue teasing Wonho while enjoying every single second of it.

"Here." I hold up another pocky.

"Are you making fun of me?" The tone in his voice changes to something much more confident, even challenging as he grabs my hand pulling me closer with a sudden move. Wonho's face is only a few inches away from mine. He bites the pocky and gives me a smug grin, all while I struggle to keep my mouth closed.
I swallow "The road hyung."
My voice sounds quieter and shakier than I expected.
Obviously content with what he achieved Wonho grins and turns back, now opening his mouth whenever he wants another pocky.

Some time later the car in front of us turns into an exit that leads to a resting spot and a gas station.
All of us step out as Shownu fills up the gas of his car.
"Oh man sitting like this is really tiring." Minhyuk says while stretching his arms while Jooheon starts jumping up and down.

"Oh my god." Changkyun stumbles out of the car holding his stomach "I really need to go to the toilet."
I glance back into the car, Hyungwon is still asleep. I decide it's best not to wake him, we don't have much left to our destination anyway. Closing my eyes I take a deep breath trying to enjoy the quietness and peace of being away from all the exhausting work and schedule that we left behind in Seoul.

"Should we get some ramen?"
I jump at the sudden voice next to my ear. Realizing who it is I giggle.
"Are you hungry Hoseok hyung?"

"I always have some space for Ramen." He shrugs and pats his tummy.
"Let's just buy a bunch and you can eat yours in the car while I drive the rest of the way."I suggest

"Are you really fine with driving?"

"Duh, why else did I get the license?"

Wonho and I put on our masks and hats before entering the little convenience store, which is inside of the gas station.

"Oh Kyun, are you feeling better?" Wonho asks seeing Changkyun exit the bathroom.

"Yeah, I think I got car sick." He says grabbing a bottle of water which he puts next to the cash register.

"I'm gonna put in the hot water and follow you guys once I'm done." Hoseok points at the cup in his hand.

A few minutes later we're back on the road. This time with me being the driver and Wonho on the passenger seat.
Quietly, I hum the tune of Lost in the dream, a song that was part of our last album.
I notice Wonho looking, no staring at me.
"What? Do I have something on my face?"

"No."

"Did I sing badly?"

"No."

"Then why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"It's just... I'm so glad you exist."

My stomach turns upside down, butterflies wilding inside. Heat shoots into my cheeks and I can feel the redness. I tighten my grip on the wheel and straighten my posture thinking about how red I must look right now.

I remain silent not really knowing how to answer. I want him to know that I feel the same way but I don't trust my voice nor do I believe that I'll be able to make a proper sentence.
Instead, I gather all of my courage and grab Wonho's hand, putting it on the gear shift together with mine.

A/N:
Yaaaaaaalll something crazy happened. Apparently Wonho, IM and Kihyun are going to Jeju together, there is a video of them at the same airport. I cried when I saw it it made me sooo freaking happy.
There's so much happening Wonho dropped the Music video of it ain't about you and Monsta x announced their comeback. I'm so happy
