Elements - A BTS fanfic

Chapter 26 - Resolution

It's funny how you'd never be satisfied in life.

During the two weeks I had spent at Jungkook's place in Busan, I had complained it was way too cold outside. The snow and icy winds were to harsh, and prevented me from going outside and being active.

However, after hours of trying to fall asleep and aimlessly turning over in my bed, I concluded it was way too hot in the Bahamas too function.

The warmth had felt nice when bbq'ing on the beach with the boys, counting down until midnight. We had spent some hours drinking rum punch and deciding on new years resolutions, before calling it a night and go to bed.

The minute I laid down in my bed, I noticed the warmth was becoming slightly annoying and preventing me from falling asleep. On top of that, I sweated like a mad man, making me feel even more uncomfortable. After stripping down to my underwear, opening the windows wide open and disposing all the sheets, I decided the last attempt to cool off was to go into the ocean. If I was lucky, I would be able to catch some sleep after that before the boys would wake up.

I quietly slid out of the bed, swapping my sticky underwear for my bikini that had already dried up due to the heat. I tip-toed down the stairs, towards the exit, trying not to wake up Yoongi that laid passed out on the couch. I noticed he probably had a hard time dealing with the heat as well, since he had a large ventilator next to his head.

So much for being a fire bender. Shouldn't he feel most comfortable in this environment?

I shrugged to myself as I walked towards the beach, my eyes narrowing at a familiar body sitting in the sand, watching the calm waves of the water.

"Having a hard time falling asleep as well?" Jungkook asked me as I sat down next to him.

I nodded, turning my face to watch the waves as well. "The warmth is making it impossible for me to fall asleep. I'm not used to such temperatures at all."

I sighed as Jungkook chuckled softly. "Busan can get pretty warm during summer, so it's not something I can't handle." He paused to swallow harshly. "It's just strange not to have you in my bed anymore." He admitted sheepishly, no hint of playfulness in his voice.

I turned my face to check whether he was mocking me, but there was no hint of smugness on his face. Instead, he smiled sincerely at me before averted his gaze towards the horizon again. I followed his gaze to watch the stars painting the sky. It was a particular bright night, no cloud to be seen.

"Have you decided on your new years resolutions yet?" I asked Jungkook after a moment of peaceful silence.

Earlier, we had all decided what we wanted to improve on or start doing next year. Jin had said he wanted to sequence the entire bending genomes before starting his own cooking show, Namjoon wanted to start writing a novel and tone down his working hours in the office a bit, Hoseok had decided he was going to ask a girl out he had been crushing on for ages, but didn't want to tell us her name - although I was desperately hoping it was Krystal -, Taehyung admitted he wanted to be the first air bender on Mars - good luck with that -, Yoongi simply wanted to sleep more, and Jimin had quietly admitted he wanted to start tutoring first year earth benders since he had enjoyed tutoring me so much. I had opted for the boring option, saying I wanted to develop myself in all four elements and hopefully be to of a use to the world when needed. All the boys had agreed they wanted to help with that as well. However, Jungkook didn't really participate in the whole resolution thing.

He sighed deeply after my question before speaking up. "I don't do new year resolutions. I think they're a load of bull."

I rolled my eyes at his sober perception, nudging his side. "You're such a party-pooper. It's good to think about things you'd like to do in the new year that you think could make your life, or the world even, better." I told him softly.
