You and Minah were back in your room again, packing for tomorrow's camping trip. Yes, tomorrow. Time had passed quickly the last week or so.

Things with Yugyeom were going okay; he occasionally turned around to ask you a question or two on some Japanese shogun or the other in the politest tone. Generally you just sat and stared at the back of his head praying that he wouldn't talk to you and hoping beyond hope that he would never mention their past to you or anyone else.

Back to packing. In all actual honesty, you were the one lugging bags and bags of clothes around and stuffing them in the two identical suitcases, one purple and one black as Minah watched you running from your room to her room and back as she typed away on her phone lying on her stomach.

When you got back from the bathroom for the third time with your toiletries, she handed you a bikini without looking up from her phone. "We might go swimming."

"Where? It's a mountain where we're bird-watching," you took the bikini anyway.

"Yeah, we're not staying there all three days, dumbass. Mine's already in there."

"Oh, okay." You stuffed it in your now full suitcase and zipped it up, satisfied with your productivity in the last three hours. Then you did the same with Minah's jet-black one.

"Finally." She set down her phone (finally!) and sat up on your bed, "Now that your OCD is settled, can we talk about stuff that's going on now?" She looked at you expectantly, motioning for you to sit next to her on the bed.

You were hesitating to tell her, but you rolled your eyes and said, "You should pay me for being your maid," sitting down on your bed with your legs off the side.

"Maybe when you clean my dad's room," which was impossible, since Namjoon had papers all over the place in his study/bedroom, which looked clean but no one ever knew where anything went. "Anyway, are you going to tell me about this Yugyeom or not?" she suddenly demanded.

You hadn't expected her to ask you about Yugyeom. But it was time to her to know the truth anyway. "He was at my old school. Used to bully me a bit."

"Seriously? Does that bastard want his head lopped off? I can beat him up if you want!" she immediately reacted, shocked and surprised that that was the truth behind your stares at Yugyeom. "Oh my god, and I thought you thought he was hot!"

"It's okay, Min. I'm over it."

She looked a little sad, not knowing what to do in this situation. She started to get off the bed to leave you some space, but you said, "Wait, there's something else I have to tell you."

"About Yugyeom?" she looked at you, unsure if you were emotionally stable.

"No, about Jungkook."

She visibly relaxed. Then tensed again. "What is this about? You guys weren't talking at all last week!"

"Do you remember him asking me to talk outside with him at break yesterday?"

"Yeah, you guys were out there for a while and I had to socialize with Eunha and Yugyeom," she waved at you to go on while rolling her eyes.

"Well, we had a conversation."

"And?"

"We're... We're together now." You looked down at your hands, not daring to look up at her face.
