the bus finally comes to a halt after about an hour of traveling. the slight jerk it makes when shifting into park wakes a few of those who had slept the entire time. meanwhile, yeonjun was shaking beomgyu with all of his force to get him up and sunoo flicks ni-ki on the forehead for the same reason.
from where the vehicle was stationed, no one could really tell where they were unless they already knew, and only a few of you did. since all of the txt members were aware of your location, they got down first, and then slowly the rest of you filed out.
"oh my god, we're at the beach!" ni-ki says excitedly, a wide grin on his features.
it was honestly perfect. the weather called for clear skies and a sunny morning, the ocean air crisp and chilly from the effects of winter drawing to a close. the few staff members that volunteered to take part in your surprise were busy gathering together the breakfast foods you and the other two leaders had requested so they could set up the picnic.
everyone seemed to have sparkles in their eyes from the scenery, ecstatic with the little getaway the three of you had gifted them. fawn and juno rushed over to tackle you into a hug, squeezing you with all the love they could provide. you were so proud of your group mates for working so hard towards your comeback and wanted to make sure they knew it.
the first person to take off towards the beach, is the one who sounded most ecstatic— ni-ki. he sprints towards the water, his hyung following him to make sure he didn't wreak any havoc yet.
"ni-ki! slow down?? hello??" sunghoon yells after the younger boy, his shoulders hunching when the harsh wind hits him even more due to his fast pace.
beomgyu and huening kai seem to be having a field day with his childishness, laughing so loud you could hear them over the crashing waves. jake covers his mouth to hide his amusement from juno, who would no doubt scold him for encouraging the menace-like behavior.
"is the food almost done being prepared? i'm fucking starving. it feels like my stomach is eating itself." sunoo complains, his hands shoved in his jacket pockets and his cheeks rosy from the cold, a pout adorning his lips.
"literally how?? how can one be so hungry this early??" jungwon asks, his face scrunched up in confusion. even after being his group mate for almost two years, it was still baffling that the nineteen year old could eat so much. it was like his metabolism was on maximum overdrive 24/7. (no pun intended 😹)
"no for real, i don't think i've eaten an actual breakfast meal in months. maybe even years." fawn agrees, leaning their head on jay's shoulder as she rubs her tired eyes. "but that's also probably because i don't wake up early enough."
"nah 'cause if you did, you'd be sitting on the couch staring off into space every morning like sunghoon and you're weird enough as it is." juno snorts. the eldest girl deadpans, flipping them off. the interaction provokes a louder roar of laughter from beomgyu and huening kai, further irritating taehyun, who was standing between them. the shorter of the two bends over, hands on his knees as he tries to catch his breath.
