Monday. July 1, 2024.

Yoongi's mother wakes the boys up at 10 in the morning for breakfast. She has never fed an army before but, there is a first for everything. Yoongi sits up with squinted eyes. The rest of the boys do the same, some checking their phones. They all sit there in silence longer than usual.

"Boys!" Yoongi's mother yells. The boys start to scrambling to get up from their beds. Yoongi sits there for a bit longer. "You okay?" Hoseok asked him and Yoongi looks over. "Oh yeah, just too early to be awake." Hoseok chuckles, getting up from the bed. "You get up earlier for school." "Yeah but there is no more school." Yoongi says with a smile and Hoseok starts laughing.

"Come on, let's go eat. We have a 3 hour drive ahead of us." Hobi holds his hands out and Yoongi grabs it. They share a kiss before leaving his bedroom to join everyone else in the kitchen.

"Took you guys long enough. I was about to take your pancakes." Namjoon says with a smile. "It was like 15 seconds. Get your panties out of a twist." Jin defends us, earning a chuckle from my mom and dad. "Okay, we have 3 showers. Dad and I already took showers, so whoever gets done first goes to shower first and then so on." Yoongi's mother explains.

"Yes ma'am." The boys answer in unison. She smiles and sits down to eat breakfast.

Everyone makes small talk, talking about Daegu and what they all might do while they are there. They talk about a museum or maybe even a water park. Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook are the first three to finish eating so they take their showers first. The rest of the boys finish eating and wait in Yoongi's room to shower. They take this time to clean up and put away the air mattresses.

"Are you guys excited?" Yoongi asked Hoseok, Namjoon, and Seokjin. "Oh yes. I convinced Jungkook to bring his switch so we can play Mario Party." Jin says with a smile, folding up a blanket. "How are you going to survive three hours without a cigarette?" Namjoon asked Yoongi and he shrugs. "I don't have a choice." He responds.

At the same time, Jimin walks in the room. "Next." He says. His hair is wet and he wears grey sweatpants and a regular white shirt. "Me." Hoseok says running out of the room. He quickly grabs his clothes and gives Yoongi a kiss before he leaves.

"Don't worry, I brought the weed." Jimin says and Yoongi laughs a little. "I guess I should go ahead and smoke a cigarette before we leave." Yoongi says, grabbing his box and lighting one up. "I guess." Namjoon says.

They are an hour and a half into their three hour drive. Yoongi's mother and father are in the front of the car. Yoongi's mother is in the passenger seat while his father is driving. Jimin, Yoongi, and Hoseok are all sleeping. Jimin rests his head on the window, Yoongi, being in the middle, rest his head on Jimin's shoulder and Hoseok rest his head on Yoongi's shoulder. Yoongi's mother has headphones in, listening to her audio book and look out of the passenger window.

Jin drives his truck with Namjoon riding shotgun. Taehyung and Jungkook both sleep with their heads on their windows, both with AirPods in. Namjoon and Seokjin carry a light conversation, careful to not wake the boys up.

"I think we should plan something special for Yoongi. Get his parents and Hoseok in on it and surprise him." Namjoon says. "I think he has been doing so much better with talking to people, and not just us but random people as well." Jin nods his head, focused on the road.
