The Bangtan Chatroom [THE BTS CHATFIC]

┃CHAPTER 29┃

[With Taegi]

After a very long time Taegi were the first to enter their tents to sleep. But right after maybe 45 minutes of sleep Taehyung started to have struggle to sleep.

He stirred from his sleep, noticing his hyung, Yoongi, sitting beside him, looking rather pensive. Rubbing his eyes, Taehyung shifted to sit up straight, his curiosity piqued.

"Hyung, what's wrong? Can't sleep?" Taehyung asked, concern lacing his voice.

Yoongi glanced at him, a small, mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Tae... my sweetheart, can you answer something for me?"

Taehyung blinked, surprised by the sudden endearment. "You're calling me sweetheart out of nowhere... Now I'm worried," he replied, feeling a bit uneasy but mostly curious about what was on Yoongi's mind.

Yoongi chuckled and pointed upwards. "Look up and tell me what you see."

Taehyung obediently tilted his head back, "I see stars, millions of stars. They're all so pretty," he answered, his eyes sparkling with childlike wonder.

"And what do you deduce from that?" Yoongi asked, now fully turning his attention to Taehyung, his tone serious but with an undertone of something else.

Taehyung thought for a moment, feeling proud of what he was about to say. "That means there are at least 50 million suns, and those suns probably have planets around them. So, there's a chance there's life out there beyond Earth," he explained, his voice filled with excitement, thinking he had just delivered a profound insight.

But Yoongi's lips curled into a smile as he shook his head.
"Tae-bear, you idiot, that means someone fucking stole our tent!!" 

The realization hit Taehyung like a ton of bricks. "Oh... when??" was all he could muster as he watched Yoongi march towards Namjoon and Jungkook's tent.

"Namjoon, you better have a good explanation for this!" Yoongi's voice carried through the still night, making Taehyung chuckle quietly to himself. How had he been so oblivious to something so obvious?

"Don't worry, hyung! I took it just now to make some adjustments! I'll have it back up in a minute!" Namjoon's voice came back, calm but clearly focused on whatever he was doing.

Yoongi let out a sigh of relief, the earlier tension melting away as he found the whole situation a mix of adorable and hilarious—especially because of Taehyung's cluelessness. The night may have been filled with unexpected moments, but at least it was one they could laugh about together.

[With Namkook]

As the night grew quieter, with the other members settling into their tents, Jungkook found himself lingering outside, the cool night air doing little to calm his restless thoughts. He watched as Namjoon finished setting up their tent, his hands working methodically, yet his mind clearly elsewhere.

"Jungkook, I'm done. Come inside," Namjoon called out after he finished, his voice gentle but carrying an undertone of concern.

Jungkook hesitated, his thoughts still swirling. "You go ahead and sleep, hyung. I can't sleep. I'm just not tired," he admitted, his gaze fixed on the dark forest surrounding them.

Namjoon sighed, walking over to sit beside Jungkook. "If Jin sees you out here alone, I'm going to have a rap session with him tomorrow," he teased lightly. "Do you want that? Because I definitely don't, Kookie."

Jungkook smiled faintly at the thought, but it quickly faded. Namjoon, sensing the shift, gently asked, "You're still thinking about what happened today, aren't you?"

"Hyung... remember how we talked about the déjà vu thing earlier?" Jungkook began, his voice carrying the weight of his confusion.

"Yeah, I do. It makes sense why Hoseok brought it up this morning. He was onto something, even if we didn't fully get it at the time," Namjoon replied, his tone thoughtful.

Jungkook nodded, drawing his knees closer to his chest. "Hyung... what are we? I just wanted us to be friends, to live a normal life again. But now, with everything that's happening, I can't focus on anything else..."

Namjoon reached over, gently patting Jungkook's head. "Jungkook, you don't need to worry so much. We hyungs will figure this out, I promise. You just focus on being yourself, okay? Because if you're sad, Jin's going to dislocate my leg—or worse," he joked, earning a small chuckle from Jungkook.

"Hyung, you really love him way too much," Jungkook said, the teasing tone in his voice betraying his amusement.

Namjoon feigned innocence, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, come on. You mentioned him twice in the last minute. You're so in love with him. Don't try to hide it just because I'm the youngest here."

Namjoon laughed, shaking his head. "Alright, alright, enough about me. What's going on with you, young man?"

"M-me?" Jungkook stammered, his face flushing.

"Yes, you," Namjoon insisted, his tone soft but knowing. "I've been where you are now. When I first realized I had deeper feelings for Jin, I was just as confused. So come on, talk to me."

Jungkook was taken aback by Namjoon's perceptiveness. He wondered how many of the members had noticed his behavior. Was he always this easy to read? Or did they just know him too well? Perhaps it was Namjoon's experience in these matters. Either way, it didn't really matter; any of those reasons would make sense.

"Hyung... I'm confused. I even asked Tae-hyung about it, but I still don't understand," Jungkook admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Is it about your relationship with Tae and Jimin?" Namjoon guessed, his expression softening with empathy.

Jungkook nodded, and Namjoon took a deep breath before speaking. "I can't tell you exactly what's happening between you three, but I do want to say this: Take your time. Don't rush your feelings or make any hasty decisions that could affect your friendship. You know they won't isolate you, but it could get awkward if things aren't handled carefully."

Jungkook nodded again, understanding the wisdom in Namjoon's words.

Namjoon continued, "This is one of the reasons why Jin and I aren't officially together yet. We've only known each other for a few weeks, and we don't want to make the mistake of moving too fast. Relationships, especially ones that mean a lot, require patience and thoughtfulness. So just keep that in mind, okay?"

"I will, hyung," Jungkook promised, feeling a bit more at ease.

Namjoon smiled and stood up, extending a hand to help Jungkook to his feet. "And don't forget, when you're finally ready, I'm going to help you get together with whoever you choose!"

Jungkook's face flushed even more as he took Namjoon's hand. "I-I don't need your help, hyung..."

"We'll see about that!" Namjoon teased, pulling Jungkook into a lighthearted embrace before guiding him into the tent. The night outside was quiet, but inside, Jungkook felt a little more at peace, knowing that he had someone like Namjoon to rely on.
