Chapter 3

It was a thirty-minute drive to Bluebells Lake.

"Wait here", Taehyung informed before getting off the car and disappearing in the distance.

Jungkook nodded not minding much as his mind and soul were still reminiscing the views of this ethereal town, easing his every inch, minute by minute.

I need to re-visit here, with our group.

He smiled to himself as he thought of his friends back in Seoul, who must be busy working their asses of right now, a typical Monday for them. Well not him, not for the next two weeks at least.

He laid his head back against the car seat and closed his eyes, his senses leaning into some noiseless rippling sounds that were coming not from very far.

The older was laid back peacefully when Taehyung came back from his short visit.

"Jun-", his steps and voice halted the moment he took a look at his tourist's face, his cordial smile easing into a facile one.

Apart from how peaceful the said male looked with his eyes closed and a gentle smile tucked on his lips, the light-haired boy seemed to be in a state of deep sleep, or at least that's what the younger perceived.

Judging whether he should wake up the blonde haired male or not, he hesitated making a move or calling out his name.

He must have been exhausted from yesterday's long travel. I shouldn't have insisted on any outdoors today.

The young man sighed feeling somewhat guilty for rushing the other to start the trip on the very first day itself.

And while his mind was busy contemplating whether he should or shouldn't have, his eyes transfixed themselves on the man seated in absolute quietude.

He watched the male intently as latter's chest lifted up and down in a rhythmic manner as deep inhales gave way to relaxed exhales drowning away all the worries of workload that must be weighing down the blonde's broad shoulders.

How his arms folded against his chest gave off a rather boastful aura, an aura of a young CEO with a sense of duty and leadership.

Reminisces of excruciatingly tedious schedule of a busy businessman resting on his pale face in the form of under eye circles, begging to relax and this holiday was the cure.

His sleeves taut around his upper arms wrapped tightly against his hard muscles that were probably not possible without a routine workout- a rigorous one at that.

Brawny yet smooth hands from working on a keyboard 18-hours a day, his finger-nails prim and proper just how a billionaire at work would keep.

It was clear. This trip was an escape, from all of it. From life.

Observing each and every detail visible to his eyes, Taehyung found himself staring at the blonde for more than just a few minutes maybe.

He averted his eyes, licking his lips in the process before he decided upon the conclusion that asking the man himself would be the better option. He cleared his throat and straightened his back embracing a polite smile on his lips, and absolutely not judging himself for literally gawking at his tourist just seconds ago.

He knocked on the car's window that was half open, acquiring the attention of the man behind it.

"Jungkook", he spoke softly.

"Oh, you're back,", Jungkook sat up in his seat, adjusting his hair as he ran his fingers through his soft blonde locks.

"You feeling sleepy?"
