"You must've had a pretty bad nightmare last night," Jimin commented over breakfist. "you kept yelling in your sleep."

Jin just nodded. "It was pretty awful." he replied, sending a slight glare over in Namjoons direction. Jin didn't mean to be that loud- but someone  got a little bit carried away. Jimins tone was entirely sincere, so Jin decided that's what he though it really was. or at least really  hoped so.

"Whats the plan for today?" Jungkook thankfully cut in.

"Well," Namjoon started. "We should find get some firewood, for tonight, and then after lunch we can go for a hike. There are supposed to be some trails around. Tomorrow we could put in some practice too."

"It's chilly out so everyone should grab a thin jacket before we go out." Jin said as everyone were getting up. not everyone had to go get firewood, so Jimin, Jungkook and Suga decided th hang back as the latter four went out to collect some.

After a few minutes, Jin and Namjoon seperated from the constantly energized Hobi and Taeyung to find some firewood.

After a few minutes, Jin already had collected a decent sized armful of dry sticks. he was feeling pretty confident in how fast he had gathered it, and looked over to see the pile Namjoon had. Guess he lost this one- even if it wasnt an actual competition.

"I've been thinking," the suddenness of his voice almost startled Jin as he looked over to where he was, a few feet away picking up some more sticks for his pile. "I think we should tell the others about our relationship.. It's probably better than them finding out on their own."

Jin bit his lip slightly. this is what he had been thinking about all day yesterday. He didn't exactly want to tell the others.. Not yet, at least. he diverted his eyes back to the ground again, instead of looking at Namjoon.

"I.." He paused. "don't think we should tell them."

Jin heard Namjoon stop moving for a brief moment.

"Why not?"

Jin picked up a few more sticks and tucked them underneath his arm. He shrugged. "I mean- just not this week. Just let them enjoy this week and then when we get back home we can tell them."

A quick look to Namjoon showed he wasnt exactly convinced. Jin was just trying to buy some time at this point- though in the end he wasnt sure why  he was nervous about it anyways. It wouldn't change anything, right? But what if somehow it did. Namjoon didnt say anything after that, and they just continued their job in silence, but it wasnt as comfortable of a silence as it usually had been.

Jin made sure to see that everyone had a thin jacket on before they went on their walk- as well as some snacks. If there was one thing he had learned, it was to always have something to eat handy.

They started their hike, Yoongi a few paces behind, seeming lost in thought. Jin only assumed he was mentally composing another song. Though Hobi, Taeyung, Jimin and Jungkook were a bit ahead, following the path with determination. Namjoon was a foot to his side, watching ahead as he walked.

Of course earlier wasn't the first time Namjoon was brought up telling the others. But before it was just a distant idea, when they had just started developing in this relationship. Both had agreed not just yet. But now it seemed Namjoon was set on telling them sooner rather than later, though Jin's earlier decision was still the same.

He was supposed to be the visual of BTS- would this change what people thought of him? Jin tried to convince himself that was ridiculous to think, but the silent voice of anxiety in the back of his mind kept that thought near the surface.

"Tomorrow we're gonna go through our stage version of Blood Swear and Tears again. And maybe a few others. " Namjoon broke the silence.

"Good idea. " Jin agreed.

Up ahead one of the others shouted something that sounded like 'Taaaaaaaeee' and then a 'oh my gawd'. Jin tried very hard not to pay attention to that.

Namjoon looked like he wanted to say something else, but he must've remembered that Yoongi wasn't far behind and could probably hear everything. Eventually the three that were furthest behind had caught up to the others, just to see a small pond-

That had Taeyung and Hobi soaked and about knee deep standing in the water. Jimin was standing by the side with his shirt off for some reason, and laughing his head off. Jungkook was the only one not soaked and actually wearing his shirt and jacket. Tae was laughing maniacally, as Hobi viciously splashed him.

Jin heard Yoongi mumble a 'wtf' underneath his breath from behind him.

Jin and Namjoon watched as the two in the water turned their attention towards Jimin, who stopped laughing as their gaze fell upon him. It played out like a movie, as he got out of the water and chased Jimin down, eventually capturing and securing the shirtless Jimin, and dragging him over to throw him into the pond as well.

Even Hobi never screamed that girlishly before.

Jungkook ran over to Namjoon, Yoongi and Jin for emergency protection from the others, who appeared to not mind the freezing water. Well, Jimin looked like he wasn't enjoying it. Until they started splash fighting.

Jin didn't even know what to say, which is surprising.

"Wait, how did this even happen?" Jin questioned looking at Jungkook.

"Taeyung pushed Hobi into the water.. Then Hobi tackled Taeyung into the water.. I dunno why Jimin took his shirt off. " Jungkook seemed almost as confused as Jin was.

"GET OUT OF THE WATER!" Jin yelled with his hands cupped over his mouth.

"YOURE ALL GONNA CATCH COLDS!" Namjoon shouted.

Yoongi sighed.

It took a few minutes, but eventually they got the others out of the water. Luckily, Jimins jacket and shirt were dry, so he was a bit better off than Hobi and Tae.. Who were soaked head to toe.

"We better go back now and get the fire started. " Jin said, and everyone readily agreed with this.

The walk back to the cabin felt like an eternity. And as the day grew colder, it didn't help the three who were soaked. They almost looked blue by the time they got back to the cabin, and when they did, Hobi, Tae, and Jimin instantly ran inside and started to strip off their soaking clothes on their way to the rooms. Jin had to pick up a few wet jackets and shirts from the floor and put them out on the porch rail to dry.

Yoongi started the fire, having a fair sized pile of sticks to keep it fueled on the floor beside it. It got going in no time.

It seemed like the would be staying inside for the rest of the evening, so Jin changed into some sweatpants and a sweater before going out to sit on one of the couches, leaving the spots closer to the fire open for the ones who needed it.

A few short moments and those mentioned came out wrapped in blankets and found the spots closest to the fire, on the floor. Jungkook scooted over to sit by Jimin, and, seeing as everyone was on the floor, Yoongi snatched one of the two couches before anyone else could get there. Namjoon, who went to change at a different time than Jin, wearing similar attire, came over and sat on the opposite end of the couch.

Jin brought his legs up to his chest and watched the fire from over the heads of the others, listening to their chatter. He didn't even realize his eyes had started to slowly drift closed.
