"Off to the country!!! Woohoo!!!" Taehyung shouts out from the back of the RV.



Jungkook sets the gps before snapping his seatbelt on. He made a last check on the gas tank gauge and looked back at Taehyung who was obviously too excited than anyone else on this trip.



The plan was to meet his parents at their summer house along the way before finally going to the beach house owned by Liz's family. Just as Jungkook started the engine, his phone started vibrating in his pocket.



"Tae will you take this?" He throws the phone at him knowing full well Taehyung could catch anything thrown at him and he didn't disappoint as he got a good grip on Jungkook's phone with one hand. He takes one look at the caller and a wide boxy smile instantly formed on his face.

Yoongi: "Hey!"

Taehyung: "Yoongi... you ditched us again."

Yoongi: "Who said I was joining you anyway?"

Taehyung: "Kook said you were suppose to come home."

Yoongi: "I was, but not to go with you. Eunji has a family camp trip in school, so I was going there with her."

Taehyung: "What happened?"

Yoongi: "Work... Anyway, is Kook driving?"

Taehyung: "Yeah, hold on I'll put you on speaker."

Jungkook: "Heya! What's up?"

Yoongi: "Just stuck here at work... life sucks man."

Jungkook: "Yeah... it'll pass. So what made you call?"

Yoongi: "I was gonna ask if Eunji said anything about me cancelling on her."

Jungkook: "I saw her this morning and she seemed good with going on her own. Besides, she said all her friends are there. Don't worry too much."

Yoongi: "Thanks man... she did sound happy when I called her last night. Looks like there's nothing to worry about... I just get this random feelings of getting worried. I don't know, I must be over reacting."

Jungkook: "I get it... the distance makes you feel like being helpless... but don't worry too much. I'll check up on her and let you know."

Yoongi: "I can't wait to finish school... Thanks man! I owe you a lot..."

Jungkook: "Just work on getting your college diploma and land a job the soonest you can. Don't worry too much about Eunji, she's a smart kid."

"Hey Eunji right?" A tall guy asked you as he parked the car near the bus stop.


You're all confused since he doesn't even come close to someone familiar. Next thing you know, a middle aged woman peeks from his car gesturing for you to come over.


"Ms. Kim?" You finally recognize the lady who used to be your art teacher from elementary. You ran into her several times in the past and somehow she's mentioned having twins at the age of 40.


Being a single mom, she had to juggle work and family on her own. Bad choices in love made her this way but not a day passed that she didn't thank the heavens for giving her Mavie and Erin, her 2 sweet daughters.



"I can't thank you enough for agreeing to babysit the twins." She says from the back of the car, both girls sleeping soundly in their car seats.

"I should be the one thanking you..." You said in a low whisper, careful not to wake the twins from their obviously deep sleep.

"Oh don't worry, they're too exhausted from the playground." She says chuckling.



In no time you're in Ms. Kim's home, helping her tuck the twins in their beds. You try not to laugh at how these adorable 3 year olds make alternating cute sleeping sounds.


Ms. Kim then showed you to your own room. You'll be staying with them until Monday morning and she offered to take you to school, so you already brought your uniform.

"I'll gas up..." Jungkook nudged his already sleeping buddy at the back of the RV. Taehyung just continued snoozing in his spot.

They were at the first rest stop of their trip when Jungkook decided to get gas. He was already filling the tank when huge tour buses started coming.


"Hey... you're Eunji's neighbor right?" Jimin asked as he walked towards Jungkook.

"Yeah..." Jungkook replied with a smile, looking over at the buses where high school teens and their families started pouring out. He wondered if he'd see Eunji but his thoughts were interrupted by Jimin.

"So is she inside?" Jimin asked expectantly.

"What?" Jungkook was already feeling his anxiety build up, as Jimin revealed what he thought he would.

"Eunji... she said she's going with you to your beach trip since her nana and brother couldn't make it." Jimin said, the look of uncertainty started showing on his face as he realized the man right in front of him is like a ticking bomb ready to explode.


*******
🤦‍♀️ "She's in trouble... again."
