It was a chilly, early morning when Taehyung’s alarm buzzed softly, and he groggily turned it off, yawning as he stretched under the warm blankets. Next to him, Jungkook stirred, equally sleepy but excited for the day ahead. They had been planning this trip for weeks, and today was finally the day they were going to leave for a quiet getaway in the countryside. The two of them rarely got the chance to take time off together, just the two of them, away from their busy schedules.

Jungkook sat up first, rubbing his eyes before looking over at Taehyung, who was still trying to bury himself in the blankets.

“Hyung, we should get up,” Jungkook mumbled, his voice still heavy with sleep.

“Mmm… five more minutes,” Taehyung replied, his eyes barely open.

But before they could decide to snooze any longer, they heard a soft noise coming from the kitchen. Jin was already awake, bustling around as he prepared breakfast. He was always an early riser, and it wasn’t surprising that he’d be up before everyone else, even on a day like this.

“Looks like Jin-hyung’s up already,” Jungkook said, smiling as he stood up from the bed and stretched. “Let’s go say good morning.”

Taehyung grumbled something but finally dragged himself out of bed, slipping on a warm sweater before following Jungkook out of the room.

In the kitchen, Jin was humming to himself as he flipped hotteoks on the stove. His hair was still a little messy from sleep, but he was wide awake, as usual. He looked up when he saw the two of them standing in the doorway.

“Good morning, sleepyheads!” Jin greeted them with a big smile. “I figured you’d need a good breakfast before your trip, so I’m making hotteok alongside with kimchi and beoseos bokk-eum (stir-fried mushrooms). Hope you’re hungry.”

Taehyung and Jungkook smiled, grateful for Jin’s thoughtfulness. They sat down at the table, the warm smell of food filling the air, instantly making them more awake.

“You’re a lifesaver, hyung,” Jungkook said, rubbing his stomach. “I didn’t even think about breakfast. I was too excited to hit the road.”

Jin laughed as he flipped another hotteok. “Of course you didn’t. That’s why you have me.” He winked playfully before setting down two plates in front of them, piled high with fluffy hotteoks, beoseos bokk-eum, and kimchi.

Taehyung took a bite and sighed happily. “You’re the best, Jin-hyung. I’m gonna miss your cooking while we’re away.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be here when you get back,” Jin said, ruffling Taehyung’s hair affectionately. “Just make sure you two drive safely, okay? No speeding, Jungkook.”

Jungkook grinned sheepishly, knowing his reputation for driving a bit too fast. “I’ll be careful. I promise.”

After they finished their breakfast and cleaned up, they said their goodbyes to Jin, who stood by the door waving as they grabbed their bags and left the dorm.

“Drive safe! And have fun!” Jin called after them. “Don’t forget to call me if you need anything!”

“Thanks, hyung! We’ll send you pictures!” Taehyung shouted back, waving as they headed to the car.

Once they were inside the car, Jungkook settled into the driver’s seat, adjusting the mirrors and starting the engine. Taehyung slid into the passenger seat, pulling his jacket tighter around him as the early morning chill lingered in the air.
