End of Jungkook's POV

Next day

5 AM

"Shh..." He places his warm, large hands over my widened eyes, sliding into the covers which I'm tucked in, warm and cosy until I had opened my eyes and seen a face peering right into mine.

"What are you doing....?" I giggle at Jungkook who is getting warm in my bed, "getting my day started with some warmth and a view of sunshine since it's pouring outside." His cute words get me startled. I grin at the cheesiness of the words, wishing to replay his voice in my head, the chocolaty and deep one.

"That's smooth." His eyes shift to and fro from my right eye to the left one as he's giving me this intense and deep gaze, his bigger body snuggling close to my warmer one. I turn my eyes away as soon as I start to feel hot. "Is it? I'm glad you didn't find it cringey or something..." he doesn't realise how his previous words brought so much joy in my heart and gave me huge butterflies. "Don't think about it being cringe, I actually have a thing for poetic guys."

Jungkook suddenly seems interested in my sentences now, having been busy in staring at my face since long enough for me to figure out he's lacking, "poetic guys? I'm very honoured to know that I'm a poetic guy, well...it's a nice compliment."

He stops rubbing his fingers over my arm and instead, he slides furthermore lower to lay side by side with me, "you're a poetry in itself. I can't help admiring one beautiful piece without I myself having no clue about love and poems. So maybe yes, that makes me a poet." He's giving me shots of butterflies back to back without stopping with his words, and all I can do is smile about it, absolutely unable to express myself, bottling up my pool of emotions since I know I'm never good at letting them show. "You're ridiculous, gosh."

"Hmm," he speaks nothing else, his half-opened eyes closing down in a serene comfort of us being warm and cosy under the blanket, the cold yet lovely scene of pink dawn visible outside my window making things even better.

This is enough to make me believe in life again. He makes me trust in myself and that's all I ever needed.

Some months later

Jungkook's POV

8 PM

"And what about Taehyung, is he gonna come along too?" I drop the dumbbell near my feet, on the carpeted floor, waiting for a positive response from Hada, "no, only you, I, Baram and Rumiko are going for the valleys. It's for your shoot, and they've got their private schedules or else they would also surely join us."

Just as he ends his sentences, rhe door opens aloud. "We're tagging along." Jimin, who had been arguing earlier regarding this matter with our producers, enters and Taehyung follows him, "for real, we had our schedules rearranged, now we can accompany..."

These two are the best jerks I could ask for, in life. "No, you're not. I'm going there with Rumiko, and it's a private schedule." Opening my wrist wraps, I grin at them, making it quite obvious that it's a joke. "Ah I see..." Jimin smirks, playing along, knowing my intentions really well. "Well then, we can't do anything about it. Let him be, Tae, let's go." He drags along the other one but I catch him and stop them both, taking the towel Hada hands at me, "you fuckers, you are supposed to join me to hell too, and this is only a matter of a videoshoot."

I wipe my sweaty skin, tired, thirsty and awaiting someone to come see me like she always does whenever I finish my workouts. He shakes his head, chewing his gum as he winks at me, "Nah, don't worry, we won't be disturbing you when you'll be with her. But rest of the time, I can't guarantee."

Taehyung reaches forth for my arm, "oh and this bracelet looks amazing on you, she's got taste." We all agree at this, "she really does, look at this." The shorter guy pushes back his green hair to show the new set of earrings that Rumiko gifted him for his successful comeback, "this is damn pretty, exactly my type."

"Uh huh, she is such a sweetheart, she makes me question how such opposite personalities could fall for each other." I hit Taehyung with my towel, "ay, mind your word....?" My wandering eyes moves behind them, to the girl who knocks on the glass door, slightly opening it and peeking inside at me from the crook of it, softening my heart instantly with her presence. Hada opens the door for her to enter into the gym.

Rumiko walks to us, gazing at me, her expressions mild. "You're busy?" I shake my head, licking my dry lips, parched from the thirst, "you are joining us tomorrow, right?" She nods, "I'm going to be there with you all, but I'll have to leave a day early."

Her sad eyes tell me something is definitely wrong, but I wait and observe her for some while, "why, darling? Is there any important work you have? We all decided to camp for three days." Jimin and Taehyung also don't like the fact that she has to go off earlier than us as we all decided to camp for two days in the valleys, "yeah...is something more important than me?" Jimin leans over and makes an innocent face, getting her red lips to curve into a light smile. She cups his face, glancing over at Taehyung to let us know why she's saying these.

"Jimin, it's not about work. Actually, I have to visit my brother. It's his birthday two days later. And he's already mad that I couldn't attend his first underground concert..."

Rumiko reveals the reason she seems distressed, and what she had been sad about two months ago. This isn't any problem to me, she needs to spend time with her brother too. He's still a kid that needs his older sister at times, and it is hard to even think of how he manages without her, since she is the only family he has. So he and Rumiko, both of them deserve this one day for themselves.

"Oh..." Taehyung and Jimin, both understand her point just as I do, not insisting or forcing her anymore, "that's alright. You get to be with us for two and a half days, and we'll have a lot of fun, anyhow."

She gives them a look full of relief, knowing they understand her situation, "yes, it's going to be a good trip." Her eyes meet up at mine and she leans in to whisper something across my chest, "you're not mad, are you?" I smile as an assurance and bring my hand up to her face, "I'm not, you have all year to spend with me, you can and you are surely allowed to spend some time with your family as well. That's only fair." My thumb rubs over her cheek. She smiles up at me with joy when I try my best to not make her feel bad or guilty about this whole thing.
