"Why are they.... Sleeping? Together?" Jimin asked scratching his head as he and the rest of the group were now outside, with the intent of searching for Jisoo and Jennie earlier, but were now confused at the sight in front of them.

Jennie's laying against the rock of the cave near the entrance as she was sleeping, and the girl next to her, Jisoo, was laying down with her head resting on Jennie's shoulder.

"Did someone cast a magic spell on them? How are they not arguing right now?" Jungkook, the one who found them, questioned, seeing them both peacefully.

"You guys are so noisy..." Jisoo mumbled waking up, as she yawned stretching her limbs.

"Well I'm going to go brush my teeth, you wanna come?" Jennie asked as she herself got up and had dusted her clothes.

"Well there are no brushes, but if you meant our makeshift ones and rinsing our teeth, I'm coming" she said getting up herself, as the two of them walked away, past the confused group.

"I'm hallucinating right? Did they just voluntarily go together?" Rosé asked as she couldn't believe what was happening.

"I give up. This is too much for me" Lisa said as she walked back inside the cave, mentally deciding to ask Jennie later while they were walking.

After brushing their teeth the group had set off again, walking into the forest as they tried to find more ways out.

Sadly, they hadn't found anything, and Lisa was getting more and more scared, but she was held up by Jennie and Jungkook, who constantly reassured her that they would be okay, and that they would find their way.

By nightfall they had set up another camp once again, this time they had somehow found another empty cave, which they had begun to notice were getting quite common.

After setting up camp, most of them had decided to head to bed early, not finding anything else to do.

Jennie had left, telling the group she would be at the small clearing nearby, and that she would return later.

Taehyung and Jimin had chatted a while, before even Jimin had fallen asleep, and Taehyung decided to follow Jennie, to see what she was up to.

Walking out, he found her exactly where she said she'd be, at the small clearing, and just as she said, she was watching the stars.

"Hey, mind if I join you?" He asked her, as she turned around startled by his voice, but nodded curtly.

They Had grown a lot closer then before, as they had casually begun making small talk whilst walking earlier, and had recently blown those into full conversations.

"What's bothering  you?" He asked her, as she turned to look at him.

"How'd you know something was bothering me?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, your facial expression, and you seemed bothered earlier when you were heading out" he explained as she sighed.

"Are you admitting to stalking me Mr.Kim Taehyung?" She teased him as he smiled at her playful nature.

"Maybe, you're quite intoxicating Ms.Kim Jennie" he played along resulting in her letting out a small giggle.

"As if" she scoffed as he chuckled as well.

"So now, tell me, what's on your mind?" He asked as they both were side by side, leaning against a tree trunk looking towards the sky.

She let out a small breath.

"I'm worried. I'm worried and scared that we won't go home" she confessed to him, as he looked at her.

"We will, remember? You said so yourself" he reminded her as she shook her head, and he saw her eyes brimming with tears.

"I only said that because Lisa was there, and I meant everything. I will make sure she goes home, whether it be now or later" she admitted.

"You mean we, we all will go home" he said as she just sighed.

"We don't know that, we nothing. I've only been comforting Lisa and staying strong in front of her, because Lisa is like a little sister to me. I-I don't know if we can go home. I'm scared Taehyung, no I'm terrified. What if we're stuck here? What are we going to do? What if something happens to Lisa? I tell her I'll protect her, and I'll always be there in the face of danger for her, and I will. But what if I'm not strong enough for what's there, and what if it hurts her?

I don't know how to help us. I don't know how to help her. And that... that terrifies me. I've always been strong for her, I've always protected her. B-but, what if I'm not... what if I... can't?" She confessed, her true feeling coming out as she cried, hot tears pooling down her cheeks.

"Hey...hey... I'm here for you. You're not alone in this... I'm, no we, we're all here. We're in this together okay? We'll make it, and I know that. Because I trust you, and you have to trust us with that too okay? You'll never be alone, and you don't have to be strong always okay? You can cry, you can say you don't want to, we'll understand. So don't ever put on a brave face if you're crumbling inside. Just like you're there for Lisa, I'll be there for you" he said as he kissed her cheek and gave her a hug, but soon felt her shake as she sobbed into his shoulder, letting her tears flow freely.

"Shh, I'm here, you can let it out" he comforts her with a soothing motion of rubbing his hand up and down her back.

A few moments passed by of them staying like that, and after they had pulled away from the hug, the close distance had come to both of their minds instantly.

Taehyungs eyes flickered to Jennie's lips, which were rights in front of his, and then to her eyes, which were slightly puffed due to crying but nevertheless looked perfect at that moment.

She took a sharp breath in, when Jennie saw him leaning in, and as if it were automated, she found herself leaning in as well, as their lips touched.

She couldn't describe the feeling, as even though she couldn't see anything, both of their eyes being shut in the moment, she could feel the fairy tale sparks that she read in her books coming to life here.

It was the perfect kiss.

No words could have described the euphoric feeling, as his hand cupped her cheek, and their noses slightly brushed by each other.

Pulling away for a breath, he faced her, not being able to utter anything.

And he didn't need to, because before both of them knew it, there they were, kissing again.
