SWEET AND SOUR || Kim Taehyung

38 - Confidence

*TAEHYUNG'S POV*

"Thank you." I spoke to the woman at the reception box after she had explained where I should be headed.

I started driving past her and up the small road, driving slow as it was quite dark, around dinner time, and younger kids were running about the grass next to their tents. 

Everyone had fires on, music, the whole lot. 

The smell of barbecues filled the car.

I never got this when I was younger, all I had was our private babysitter and housekeeper.

Yeontan made it better when my parents surprised me with him many years ago, and now he was safe and happy at Keiran's as I thought, nearing Jimin's rented area.

I was only informed that Y/n and her friend would be here as well this morning, at a point where I really couldn't back out. Classic Jimin.

I drove closer to them, I could make out the faces now, although I couldn't see her yet.

Was it bad that I was initially here to spend time with my actual friends, yet all I wanted to see was her ice blue eyes look straight back at me, her dark hair hang weightlessly by her head like silk, her perfect teeth, her smile..

I forced myself from thinking about her and put my attention onto Jimin who was excited as ever, shouting around my name as he had now noticed me arriving, his arms raised as he squeezed inbetween two tents to get to me, a beer in one hand and the other flailing hopelessly around to the music, singing from a speaker someone must have brought.

"TAEEEE." He sang, skipping tiny steps towards me as I parked the car next to the others.

"Hello." I sighed, clearly he wanted tonight to be a loud and happy one, which I wasn't particularly in the mood for, in fact, I haven't really been in that sort of mood in a little while, not since me and Y/n were actually speaking to each other.

"I didn't realise you would be this late." He uttered, laughing and pulling his hair back before throwing his arms around me after I had opened the car door, my second foot was barely on the floor before almost knocking me back into me car.

"I'm not that late." I replied tired after a day full of driving, first the vets, then back home, now here.

"Well everyone else is settled in already, you're staying with me in my tent." He chimed, leading me towards the circle of people who surrounded the fire.

"It's Taehyunggg!" Jungkook voiced, walking up to me with open arms.

After he had wrapped himself around me, I did a quick scan with my eyes to try and find her, but she didn't look like she was around.

We seperated from the hug and I greeted the others with friendly smiled before sitting down.

Now that I think of it, a lot more people were missing. Hobi and Namjoon weren't here either.

"Where are the others?" I asked as Yoongi passed me a freshly opened beer from the pop up table beside him, the same ones everyone else seemed to be drinking.

"They left to go explore the woods like half an hour ago" Jimin laughed, but his was face slightly puzzled, in the sense that he didn't understand what was taking them so long.

"Nah, I wouldn't worry about it, Y/n found that huge stick before they left, remember? The one she would use for self defence." Jin sarcastically uttered whilst the others laughed.
