JIMIN POV

Tae stood next to Jungkook, one hand gently on his shoulder.

My brother had been passionate about astronomy for as long
as I could remember and I appreciated how eagerly Jungkook seemed to drink
up what he had to share.

They stood together, near the edge of our camping spot, looking through an opening in the trees to the night sky.

"Your turn." Guk said.

I took a swig from my beer and turned back to the card game.

Guk, hobi and I were playing rummy and my competitive side was deeply invested in beating both of my best friends.

I drew a card, then laid down
a book.

"Can we move the hybe office out here?" I asked.

"Do you think the clients
would go for it?"

Hobi laughed. "I'm pretty sure most of your clients don't hike."

He was fiddling with the battery-powered radio and he stopped
on a classic rock station.

I glanced at my cards.

"Some day, your band is going
to get famous, whether you like it or not and then you'll come begging for my services."

"Reverse PR?" Hobi asked.

"Is that a thing? Can you
make people unfamous?"

"Jimin?" Guk asked.

"He can sell the media on
just about any story."

"Yeah." I laughed, then
crumpled my beer can and tossed it at hobi.

"I'm sure I can handle the
spin on you not being cool."

Hobi threw down a run of five cards. "Rummy." he replied smugly.

Guk was exhausted from
limping around all day, so he headed to bed early.

I expected Tae and hobi to hang by the fire late but the second Tae started fluttering his eyelashes, I knew exactly where they were headed for the night.

About thirty seconds after retiring to their tent, I heard clothes rustling and barely
stifled giggles from my brother.

"Okay." I said abruptly and turned to Jungkook, who was relaxing by the fire.

"Take a walk with me?"

The light in my brother's tent switched off and hobi moaned, earning a long laugh from him.

"Yeah, okay. Come on."

"I wouldn't want to listen
to Guk get busy either."

Away from the fire, the woods were dark, the faint light of the stars and the full moon blocked by the trees.

Jungkook and I both wore headlamps, strapped around
our foreheads and the lights bounced on the path in front of us as we walked slowly away from the camp.

"Did Tae show you around the stars?" Jungkook nodded.

His hoodie was zipped up and
his hands were shoved in the pockets.

"He did, I really want to read
his book now."

"I realized I don't know
anything about astronomy."

"I'll get you a copy, It's
really good."

We came to a stop at a bend
in the path.

"And thanks again for having
me along." He said.
