It Has Always Been You!

After taking a tour of the museum and going to the school to spend some time with the children, they all returned to the hotel by sunset.

They went to their individual rooms to freshen up for the bonfire and the meal, which, to their relief the hotel would make.

The students started coming down to the backyard of the hotel filling up the carpets placed in a round circle around the bonfire. The food was placed in a long table at the far end of the backyard. It was a buffet system. The students were allowed to take whatever and whenever they pleased.

The eight friends sat together on one of the carpets keeping the food in the centre so they could share. Music was played in the background to which a lot of students were already dancing to.

Hoseok being the dancer of the group was the first to get up and start dancing followed by Jimin and Jungkook. They moved their bodies in sync as if they had practiced before. The other members just sat their enjoying the little dance show their three friends were putting up.

Next a slow song came up and Jimin went to Yoongi, who without hesitation joined him. Seeing Jimin and Yoongi, all of them paired up in the slow dance. Hoseok took Rosé, while Jungkook took Jisoo and Taehyung took Jennie. They all danced gracefully swaying their bodies to the slow rhythm of the song. Not only them, but the other students had also paired up around the fire. It was a beautiful sight with all the students paired up dancing around the red-yellow light of the bonfire at night.

When the song came to an end they went back to sit and eat their food. After that, one by one all the students started going up to their rooms either because of the cold or because they were tired. But none of the eight friends felt like ending the night there, so they decided to go to Taehyung's room to stay up a little longer.

"Lisa would have loved the bonfire. She always loved those." Jisoo her, her eyes staring aimlessly.

"Remeber when she had brought all newspapers from all our houses and built a bonfire with that?" Hoseok added with a light laugh.

"Only she knows how she made a bonfire with newspaper!" Rosé said.

"I miss her." Jisoo softly said tearing up.

The environment got more gloomy by every passing minute, as all of them started feeling her absence more than ever.

Jimin was always good at mood lifting and that is what he did.

"Come on. Let's change the mood yeah?Let's play something." Jimin said gesturing them to sit in a cirle on the floor of Taehyung's room.

They all nodded knowing that whatever happened was now in the past and they had no ability to change it.

"How about Spill or Drink? We can bring some beer bottles from the hotel bar." Taehyung spoke up first.

"Not a bad idea but we have to get up early tomorrow." Hoseok said.

"It's just 11 now. We can go to sleep by 2." Taehyung said.

They all agreed and Jungkook and Yoongi went to bring beer. They came back with plastic cups and brought just one beer bottle for each so that they won't get a hangover in the morning.

"So am gonna ask the first question and we all either have to answer or drink if we don't. Okay?" Jimin said.

They all nodded.

"Have you ever almost been caught doing the dirty? My answer is no."

"Nope." Yoongi said.

"Nah." Hoseok said.

"....." They all turned to look at the next person who was Rosé.

"W-what! Rosé who was it!?" Hoseok said looking at Rosé with bewildered eyes. Rosé kept looking down on her lap.

The others could feel the atmosphere of the room shift a bit.

"Rosé!" Hoseok called again keeping his voice steady.

"Uh- well... Ugh it's embarrassing!" Rosé said softly.

"You know you're scaring me Rose." Hoseok said. "You can tell me anything you know that right?"

Rosé eased a bit at Hoseok's soft voice and spoke up.

"It was in middle school and there was this boy who liked me. The boy was kind of a good friend of mine and one day he had come to my house to play. We were playing and suddenly he crawled close to me and kissed me. And right at that moment my mom had entered my room. She had literally seen the thing and she just started laughing seeing my and that boy's reaction after we saw her standing at the door. It was so embarrassing!" Rosé said covering her face with her hand.

There was a silence in the room until all of them broke into a laughter.

"Seriously Rosé this is your doing dirty? Oh my god!" Jimin said rolling on the ground laughing his ass off.

"Well it might have been very embarrassing for her. 'Cause she isn't a one to get shy." Jisoo said also laughing.

They steadied themselves and moved on.

"Never done it." Jennie said getting a bit shy.

"Aww don't get shy it's okay. I haven't too." Jungkook said.

"Well my one is not really getting caught but more like being interupted by this dick head." Jisoo said elbowing Taehyung hard.

"It's not my fault if you forget to lock the door!" Taehyung snapped back. "And moving on - Nope never been caught." He said.

"Okay next question." Yoongi said.

"Tell the worst thing you have done to the people sitting in this room. It can be anything."

"The worst thing I have done is to Taehyung, by not believing him first and believing some stupid random person. And I am sorry Taehyung, so sorry." Yoongi said.

"I will tell the same thing as Yoongi too. Sorry Taehyung." Jimin said.

"It's okay Yoons and Jim. You know I love you both right?" Taehyung said assuringly.

Both of them nodded with soft smiles.

"Okay so the worst thing I did was to Jisoo." Hoseok said. "In high school I and Jisoo were supposed to go out to eat. It was in the winter. I had asked her to wait near a bus stop, so we could go together. While going towards the bus stop I had met with a classmate of mine on whom I had a little crush on. It had started snowing very lightly and that girl didn't have an umbrella. I kind of saw the opportunity to shoot my shot and went to her to give her a walk home with my umbrella. She happily came under my umbrella and I was feeling so excited that I completely forgot about Jisoo."

"Don't tell she was standing there waiting for you!" Jungkook said.

"Uh yes that is it. She was standing there waiting for me for two hours. She had called me quite a number of times but my phone was on silent mode."

"Like literally. It had started snowing and I thought maybe because of that he was late. So I waited there in the cold like a good friend." Jisoo said rolling her eyes at Hoseok.

"Okay okay I said I was sorry and I had also got my payback, didn't I?" Hoseok said.

"Why what happened?" Yoongi asked.

"The girl who I shared my umbrella with, took me in front of a coffee shop. I got more excited but guess what? She was there to meet her boyfriend. She just used me and my umbrella to go on a date with her boyfriend!" Hoseok said placing a hand over his heart dramatically.

"And seeing her boyfriend, he recalled about me and ran to the bus stop. But I was already gone by then. I also made him pay for my lunch the entire week for making me wait in the cold night." Jisoo said laughing out.
