Death Drive

vi. Good and Bad Discoveries

Taehyung stood impatiently in front of the bathroom door, shouting at Jimin on the other side, while Jungkook quietly played his DS on the couch—which he claimed as his own.

"Taehyung I don't care!" Jimin exclaimed from the shower, "I'll be out of here in like twenty minutes. Can't you hold it?"

"I haven't pissed since before our day-long flight!" Taehyung said, "I don't care, I'm coming in!"
With that, Taehyung stormed through the door, causing a shriek to erupt from Jimin, making Taehyung laugh all the harder. Promptly, at the raising noise—Jungkook put on his headphones.

Taehyung stood in front of the toilet bowl as tensions lulled, when suddenly, he glanced up nonchalantly at Jimin.
"You look good in there," Taehyung mumbled, tapping on the glass shower-door and causing Jimin to giggle.

"I'd say you looked good out there," Jimin said, "But you're literally pissing while wearing Kumamon pajama pants," he laughed.

"These can come off, you know," Taehyung leered, finishing the job, flushing the toilet, and walking to the sink beginning to scrub his hands.

"Then why aren't they?" Jimin prodded slyly.

"Because Jungkook is right outside," Taehyung playfully jabbed back, turning off the tap.

"We could be quiet," Jimin said, sliding the shower's door open, and popping his head out, "I mean, we've been even more obvious about it before, and it's still a secret," he whispered.

"It's the best secret ever!" Taehyung laughed, pulling his shirt over his head and removing his pants and boxers, pacing to the shower to join Jimin.

"Maybe it doesn't have to be," Jimin said, shrugging as Taehyung walked into the shower.
Jimin put his hands on Tae's chest, and looked up at him with puppy-dog eyes.

"Someday, baby," Taehyung said, putting his hands on Jimin's waist, "I just need to wrap my brain around all of this for a little while longer," he mumbled into Jimin's ear as water splashed against his back, kissing his jaw, "But I promise, it will happen. I hate hiding like this."

While Yoongi pathetically tried to whip up a meal for himself, Hoseok, and the youngest three, Hoseok sat upstairs on the couch with Jungkook. He looked tentatively over Jungkook's shoulder, as Jungkook played Mario Kart—quietly rooting him on.

Namjoon and Jin opted to go out for the night. The others decided to stay back and do their own thing for the first night—and they all swore to have group fun the next day.

The couple barcrawled for as long as they could, and eventually decided to sit down at a nice restaurant (once they were sufficiently intoxicated) and order a massive meal.

After smalltalk and a few moments once the pair received their meals, Namjoon popped the question that had been plaguing his mind for the past two days.

"You never gave me a solid reason as to why you wanted to come to Bangladesh," Namjoon said to Jin, "Bangladesh is such an obscure choice."

"I think the city we're staying in is beautiful," Jin hummed, "And I've decided that I want to see as many beautiful things as possible before I die."

"What's with all of this death talk?" Namjoon chuckled, "You seem to be having an existential crisis of some sort."

"I don't know," Jin said, looking down tiredly and letting out a yawn, "Maybe it isn't a bad thing," he shrugged.
