During the trip in the car Jimin's mood is getting better and better. Hoseok's friends are very kind and funny and they are telling a bunch of stories about how they met Hoseok when he was doing an internship in Seoul. Hoseok apparently studied to become an accountant and did an internship in Yeouido. Jimin really can't imagine Hoseok being an accountant, and Hoseok apparently also couldn't. He quit his studies right after his internship, moved back to Jeju and started his own company. Impressive.

"Alright guuuyysss, we're heeere!" Hoseok says excitedly when he parks the car. The area looks beautiful already. It's on the side of a hill with supposedly really nice views from the camping spots. Everybody gets out of the car and grabs their things from the trunk. Jimin feels a bit awkward having his suitcase with him on a camping trip while the rest of them all have appropriate backpacks for camping, but luckily they all know this was an unplanned trip for him. They walk up to their camping spot which Hoseok has reserved. Jimin is pleasantly surprised when they arrive, the view is indeed very beautiful. It's a gorgeous sunny day with only a couple of clouds in the sky. The sky is really so much more blue than in Busan or Seoul. The trees are painted in autumn colours and there's barely any wind. Perfect camping weather. Hoseok said he'll bring plenty of food to grill on the first day and breakfast tomorrow, but they'd have to go to a nearby store tomorrow to get some more.

"Here Jimin-a, your tent. Do you know how to set up a tent?" Hoseok asks.

"Sure, I'll be fine. I used to go camping quite often when I was younger. It's been a while though." Jimin remembers his little camping trips with his parents. His dad didn't join each time, but his mom really loved camping. Now he's wondering why they stopped going... Jimin starts setting up the tent and places the little sleeping mat and sleeping bag inside with his other things. He then decides it might be cool to have some pictures of the others setting up their tents. He takes his camera out and asks them if it's okay to take some pictures of them already. They all agree. There's even a little cat that comes to take a look at what they're doing, so Jimin happily takes some pictures of the cat as well. He loves cats. Maybe he'll buy some cat treats at the store tomorrow.

While it's getting quite dark already, Hoseok is setting up the grill to cook dinner. The others are helping prepare the food while they are all enjoying a beer. It has been a while since Jimin had a beer outside like this. While leaning back in the little camping chair he's feeling quite pleased with the day. After setting up they all took a little walk around the area. Jimin took some pictures of the view, the other camping spots and some portraits of Hoseok and his friends. He takes another sip from his beer and watches how the friends are talking and laughing. He's taking a little moment to himself, tired from talking all day. He offered to help with the food, but Hoseok said his job is just to take the pictures. Every now and then he grabs his camera to take a few more pictures, but he feels like he can take a bit of a rest now. The beer and fire close to him are making him feel warm and cozy. He zones out for a moment.

"Are you letting them do all de hard work?" A deep voice asks behind him. Jimin needs a second to realise that he knows that voice. He knows that voice a bit too well already. He quickly turns around to confirm, since it really couldn't be possible that he's here. But there he is. Min Yoongi. He's wearing his black bomber jacket, all zipped up, with the scarf that he lend to Jimin earlier. His black jeans are replaced by dark green cargo pants, draped over his black and white sneakers, and he's wearing his cute black glasses on the tip of his nose. Jimin jumps up and without thinking he takes a few large steps towards his hyung.

"Hyung!" He says loudly in full surprise. Yoongi gasps as Jimin wraps his arms around Yoongi's neck, he's obviously quite surprised by Jimin's reaction to seeing him. Yoongi then slowly but surely wraps his arms around Jimin's waist and pulls him closer. Jimin buries his face in Yoongi's scarf.
