Jennie POV

"Lisa! I can't wear that" I'm already shaking my head before I finish speaking

"Come on, Jennie! You and Taehyung are going to be all alone in paradise. You never know what you might wear"

"Fine" I grumble "But put some normal swimsuits in there too"

She smiles with her victory and carefully places the halter top bikini in my suitcase

It's been 3 weeks since Taeyong showed up at the house, and things have been pretty quiet. Taehyung is still not back to normal. He's better since that night, but I miss the old Taehyung

We decided that we're going to island that are Christmas present from Jin and Jisoo. We really need to get away and I definitely could use some sun. I'm excited to have a week of fun and alone time with Taehyung, but I'm really excited to see what Taehyung looks like in the sun. I was worried at first that it would painful for him, but he assured me that it doesn't hurt a bit, it just looks odd

Once we told the family that we were taking a vacation, Lisa insisted that she pack my suitcase. I don't really mind because, other than swimsuits, I'll probably wear Taehyung's clothes. He likes seeing me in them and they fit comfortably over my ever-growing bump

When I see Lisa put what looks like lingerie in my suitcase, I stop her

"Whoa, what is that?"

"It's to sleep in"

"Lisa, I'm pretty sure those aren't intended for sleep, they're meant to be taken off way before then"

"I know" She says wiggling her eyebrows

"Wait, did you see something?" I ask in a whisper even though everyone else is out hunting

"No" She says "You haven't decided anything yet, so I can't see whether it will happen, but I know you two have gotten more...intimate. Plus you'll be all alone on an island for a week. You never know what could happen"

She continues packing as I let my mind wander. Am I ready to go all the way with Taehyung? I love him more than anything, and there's nothing really stopping us from taking that next step. Although, I don't know what Taehyung would say about that. We haven't been intimate since the night Taeyong died. He holds me every night while I sleep and kisses me when I reach for one, but we haven't done anything else. I know he's experiencing some guilt from what happened, but I hope this trip can get us back to the way we were. I make a mental note to talk to Taehyung about that when he gets back

"That's a good idea" Lisa says, coming out of a vision and going back to my suitcase

"How will it turn out?" I ask nervous

"It will be fine. You both love each other so much, this is just a bump in the road" I nod and go into the bathroom to grab my toiletries

"They'll be home in about 30 minutes. That gives me just enough time to finish packing" I just shake my head and let her do her thing while I go downstairs

Kuku isn't going with us, mainly because we are driving and I don't want him to have to be cramped in the car for that long. He's getting big, I don't think it would be fair to him. I check to make sure he has enough food and that his toys are all piled up for him. There will be 6 adults here to take care of him, but I'm still nervous about leaving him alone

I'm packing some snacks and drinks for the road when everyone comes through the back door. Jungkook goes right upstairs to find Lisa. Jin and Jisoo go to sit down in the living room and switch on the TV

"Hey baby mama" Jimin says coming over to kiss my cheek ignoring Taehyung's growl of warning. He and Rose sit down on the stools across from us and Jimin throws Taehyung a wink

"Are you ready to go, angel?" Taehyung asks me, purposely ignoring Jimin

"Um I think so. Lisa is packing my suitcase-"

"I'm all done" Lisa announces coming into the kitchen with Jungkook right behind her "I packed plenty of extras just in case" She winks at me and I blush. Taehyung raises an eyebrow at me in question but I just shake my head

"Okay let's hit the road" I say a little too cheerfully and pick up the cooler. I don't make it one step before Taehyung slips it out of my hand. Always the gentleman

He grabs my two (yes I said two) suitcases out of the living room where Lisa left them and goes outside to pack the car

Everyone gathers around the car to say goodbye

"Have a great time" Rose whispers to me as she hugs me softly

"Try to get the Taehyung to relax" That's Jin

"I'll make sure Kuku gets lots of bacon" Jisoo says and winks at me

"Have fun" Jungkook says kissing the back of my hand
