Hand in hand both Jungkook and taehyung came back to see their friends engaged in talking but stopped once the noticed them. Jimin and Ami squealed seeing their interwined hands.

"Omo am I seeing this correct you guys are holding hands does that mean you guys are together now" Jin asked excitedly making taehyung blush and Jungkook to chuckle " Yeah we are dating" Jungkook announced proudly Namjoon and Hobi hooted at that

"At last thanks Tae because of you this cold rude ass started talking normally and smile more often" Hobi said chuckling Tae smiled knowing the meaning of Hobi's words while Jungkook made an offended face.

"Kook I know I don't need to say this but take care of my little brother he is very precious for me" Namjoon said with a moistness in his eyes looking at Taehyung fondly.

"I will hyung I will take card of him with my all because he means the world to me" Jungkook replied snaking his arms around Tae's waist pulling him close to himself Tae blushed at his actions
"Let's call it a night it's quite late" Ami said gaining their attention all nodded at her because it was already past midnight.

Tae was going to go to his tent but Jungkook stopped him. Taehyung looked at him with a questioning gaze "Stay with me " Jungkook pleaded in a soft tone. Tae smiled nodding his head.

"Jiminie I'm going to stay with Kookie hyung" Tae said to which Jimin gave a teasing smile "Get out of your dirty mind idiot" Tae hissed with red cheeks knowing exactly what his bestie was thinking. Jimin laughed at him and went away.

Tae also went with Jungkook to his tent. They both got ready to sleep Jungkook was already lying on the mattress waiting for Tae soon Tae also joined him smiling.

Jungkook immediately hugged him wrapping his arm around his waist burying his face in Tae's neck inhaling his sweet strawberry scent while Tae felt shivers at Jungkook's hot breath hitting his neck. Holding each other in a tight embrace and pecking each other's lips they both drifted to dreamland.

The sunlight peaked inside the tent falling on the couple sleeping soundly. The chirping of birds and the rustle of nature made Jungkook stir in his sleep.

He opened his eyes a little and felt a weight on his chest. He looked down to see his boyfriend sleeping on his chest with a small cute pout on his lips. The sunlight made his skin glow making him looked ethereal.

Jungkook brushed away a few strands of hair which fall on Tae's face to look at his face. "How can you be so cute and adorable my love" but frown when he heard taehyung murmuring something in his sleep. He brought his ears close to his mouth to listen what he was saying.

"Please don't do this to me I am begging you let me go I can't take it please please no please" taehyung was having a nightmare.

Jungkook's frown deepened hearing this but his first first priority was to make sure taehyung was okay so he gently rubbed Tae's back and whispered sweet nothings to calm him "I'm here baby you are safe no one's going to harm you my love" feeling the comfort in Jungkook's embrace

Taehyung stopped murmuring and slept peacefully but Jungkook's mind was mess.

He remembered the time when Taehyung had to sleep in his house. That time also he was having a panic attack in his sleep and was murmuring the same things.

He also remembered the medical reports of Tae that Namjoon had said to him. He knew there was something that Tae and Namjoon were hiding.

At first he didn't pressured much because he had no right but seeing Taehyung like this he couldn't help but get worried. So he decided to talk to Taehyung about this matter.

So kept starring at Tae with worry and love. After an hour Taehyung started waking up.

Opening his eyes he rubbed it a little to get rid the heaviness of sleep. The first thing Tae noticed was the loved filled eyes of Jungkook starring at him with a soft smile. It made his cheeks to heat up coating it with pink hue.

"Good morning hyung" Taehyung squeak in his raspy voice "Good Morning bub did you sleep well" Jungkook asked caressing Tae's waist. Taehyung nodded his head and again laid his head on Jungkook's chest.

"Come on get up we need to get ready we will be leaving after lunch" Jungkook said getting Taehyung got up followed by Jungkook. They both freshened up and came out of their tent to seen the others already busy in making breakfast.

They both went towards their friends "Oh you two are awake good have a seat breakfast is almost ready" Jin said Jungkook and taehyung both took their seat beside each other and looked around to see Ami and Jimin bickering while Hobi sipping on his sprite. Jin and Namjoon were in charge of making breakfast.

"Yahh Kim Namjoon how many times have I told you to stay away from the fire " Jin yelled when he saw Namjoon again burning his fingers accidentally. "Babe it was an accident " Namjoon said gulping because angry Jin definitely looked scary.

"Don't give me that excuse and come here" Jin said glaring and took Namjoon's hand applying ointment. Jungkook and Tae smiled looking at their chaotic friends but a sudden voice took their attention

"Hi guy's" they all looked back to see a smiling Yoongi. Hobi instantly went to him and hugged him "Oh my gosh Yoongi what a surprise" Yoongi chuckled patting Hobi's back. "Hyung what are you doing here" Jungkook asked.

"Namjoon told me about this camping and I was already here with my family so thought why not go back with you guys " Yoongi replied hugging Namjoon then Jungkook. Jungkook and Namjoon smiled brightly at that.

"That would be nice Yoongs come have breakfast with us" Namjoon said dragging Yoongi with him. Yoongi for a second looked at Jimin who was already starring at him from a distance.

Soon Jin and Ami served everyone breakfast. While having breakfast Yoongi saw Jungkook and Tae's closeness and the way Jungkook was feeding Tae.

"Is there something that I missed" Yoongi raised his eyebrows looking at Taekook.

"Yes hyung me and Tae is dating" Jungkook said holding Tae's small hand in his big hands. Yoongi smiled at that "You did good kid I'm happy that you are finally living your life " breakfast alongside friends was really a good.

They enjoyed their remaining camp time joking with others and flirting with their partners except a certain person who was silent since the time Yoongi came.

Jimin was silently sitting there without any interaction with anyone else. Yoongi noticed this and smiled to himself. He surely didn't missed the way Jimin ignored him and he knew the reason also very well.
