Fire On Fire [TK]

Can't fight this feeling (31)

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

Waking up cocooned in a hug was always comforting. The morning felt much better with the maknae's around him. He checked his phone to find Namjoon calling him them for breakfast. Yoongi had gone to wash up and Taehyung turned to maknae shaking him gently.

"Jeongguka? Do you want breakfast?"

Jeongguk groaned, popped one eye and pursed his lips. "I choose sleep," he mumbled.

Taehyung laughed. The maknae would always choose sleep. Shaking his head he crept out of bed and put on his hoodie. He would have loved to lie in for a few more minutes in bed but his stomach was grunting in hunger.

He found the others with a breakfast spread in Jin's room. Namjoon, along with Jin, and Hoseok, sat on the chairs munching on a toast.

"What are the activities for today?" Hoseok enquired.

"We're going to the beach for a bunch of water sports of sorts." Namjoom replied while Taehyung slipped into the empty chair beside him.

"There will be a banana boat ride amd parasailing."

"Ah Jinjja? It'll be fun." Hoseok gave a bowl to Taehyung as they slipped into easy conversation.

"Yoongi hyung?" Jin asked Taehyung.

"He's in the shower."
"And Jeongguk?"

"Asleep."

Namjoon sighed. "As usual."

By the time all memebers had gathered, they were led to the coast for their next segment of activities.

The banana boat ride was exhilarating and they all sat in the main boat drenched in water, listening to the captain's instructions for Parasailing.

Taehyung's hand began to feel clammy against his bouncing knee.

The person would be attached to a harness and a chute, and towed behind in the air by the boat. The activity sounded really fun, but there was a slight issue running in Taehyung's mind.

He really preferred to keep both his feet planted on the ground.

Acrophobia, his high school teacher had defined it. The fear of heights.

He felt a hand on his knee momentarily halting the movement. He turned to see Namjoon smiling reassuringly at him. He smiled back lightly.

"And you will be aloft in the air with your partner-"

Taehyung brought his hand to his lips, biting his fingernails.

He heard a sigh as his hand was pulled down, Namjoon holding a firm grip over it.

"It is going to be alright Taehyunga, don't be scared, it'll be beautiful from up there," Namjoon reassured him, his partner for the activity.

Though he preferred having Jeongguk by side, he knew Namjoon would also never let anything happen to him.

It would be okay.

When their turn came, Taehyung gasped and shut his eyes as soon as they were lifted from the deck and went upwards. He held Namjoon's hand in a tight grip.

Fucking shit, this was not okay.

"Taehyunga, open your eyes, it is so beautiful!" Namjoon called out over the wind.
