*****

Taehyung and Jungkook finally woke up when the van stopped in the parking lot of the resort they would stay in. Taehyung remembered waking up for a few seconds when they had been on the way. He had found PSY's Gentleman blasting in the van and the rest of the boys shouting ❝I'm a I-I'm a I'm a mother father gentleman!~❞ in unison. That's all. He had fallen right back asleep.

But it looked like Jungkook hadn't woken up for even a millisecond throughout the journey, since the poor boy had a hard time getting his bearings, groggy and disoriented with a violent pout on his lips, when Namjoon had awakened him.

"Whoa! Daebak!" Hoseok exclaimed as soon as they entered the resort, jaw dropped as his eyes roamed around the foyer.

It was indeed a five-star one just like the website had shown, with expansive windows offering breathtaking views of the serene beach. Sunlight coming in through the glass, danced on the polished marble floors; chic and comfortable couches in calming hues arranged around the circular area for tourists to wait. The subtle salty scent of sea breeze mingled with the warm aroma of fresh flowers, creating a soothing ambiance. Two separate stairs went upstairs to meet at a common passage with glass and steel railings, supposedly the VIP section. On the left was the way to the open dining area in the backyard, and the way to the swimming pool on the right.

"Has our Namjoonie ever compromised with quality?" Yoongi smiled proudly.

"Hey..." Jungkook had to close his eyes and take a sharp breath in to keep his calm when he heard Taehyung call him in a whisper, standing next to him. Without turning his head towards him, he asked in a grave voice,

"What?"

Taehyung looked around to see if anyone was watching them. No one. They were busy admiring the beautiful foyer and praising Namjoon for booking such a luxurious resort while he and Seokjin were at the reception, busy checking them all in.

"I'm sorry that our conversation last night was-...Well, it took an unexpected turn and was a little-..." Taehyung sighed, unable to find the right word for it. "I didn't mean to trouble your mind and ruin your mood for the whole trip. I'm sure everything will be alright between you and Lisa."

He again took Jungkook by surprise by apologising first, carrying on as the boy didn't reply, "We came here to enjoy. Please don't-" He couldn't finish though.

"Okay, Namjoon-ah is gonna be sharing one of the rooms with me. Now the rest is up to you." Seokjin loudly declared after he took three keys from the receptionist and threw two of them to Yoongi and Jimin each.

"Me, Tae and Kookie can share the room with two beds if that's okay?" Jimin hesitantly questioned, looking at the two boys.

"Nope." Jungkook didn't even take one second to reject the proposal, "I'm not sharing a room with him." He sharply pointed his index finger at the older, again without sparing him a glance, as though suddenly even taking Taehyung's name or looking at him had become displeasing.

And if that stung Taehyung, especially after how he just apologised and was trying to make things right; he didn't let it show on his face.

"Oh, God, here we go again!" Jin sighed in exasperation, "Listen, you kids, do whatever you want to, but I want all of you here prepared to go out to the mud beach within the next hour." He strictly ordered. "Namjoon-ah, come with me." He tilted his head and Namjoon followed him to the elevator with a bellboy.
