(also, the memories they recall are what happened before they went to camp during their free summer days)

Jungkook:

Taehyung and I have been back from hell—I mean, camp—for a few days now. Honestly, I'm relieved. The whole experience was starting to get to my head, especially since I was waking up and falling asleep next to Taehyung every day. It wasn't bad, but it was a lot. And now that we're back home, things feel a bit less... intense.

But speaking of Taehyung, I really want to pay him back for everything. The surprise coffees were nice, but honestly, they're nothing compared to what he's done for me. He's helped me with the little stuff—paying for food, buying Ice Capps—but he's also helped me through way bigger things, like that mess with my dad and calming me down during my panic attacks. There's a lot I owe him, and I want to show my appreciation.

The problem is... I have no idea how. It sounds so simple, but actually doing it? Way harder than I thought. I want to do something meaningful, but nothing that would come off as weird or too romantic for friends.

And asking Taehyung for ideas is definitely not gonna work. If I asked him what he likes, he'd figure me out instantly and avoid answering the question altogether. That's his specialty.

I let out a frustrated sigh, flopping back on my bed. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

After a moment of silence, I grab my phone and start a group chat. It's me, Jin, Namjoon, Yoongi, Jimin, Hoseok, and Ji-Woo. Everyone except Taehyung. I need somebody to help me with this, and it's gonna be easier if I don't have to dodge Taehyung's prying eyes.
