jimin rested his head on the soft pillow, staring outside at the night sky, where the stars twinkled like crystals. he licked his lips, his throat suddenly parched. he stood up from the velvety bed and padded over to the small complimentary fridge, grabbing a sprite.
the group of boys had made it to hawaii, safe and sound. they had promptly traveled to the five-star hotel, located right beside the ocean on big island. how they had managed to pay for it, jimin had no idea. nevertheless, he was extremely thankful to be in such a luxurious place, unlike their city. quite obviously, the couples had been assigned to their own rooms.
jimin slid open the glass door to the balcony, perched high above the sandy ground. he leaned across the railing, right next to taehyung, who was staring out into the distant sea.
"hey," taehyung greeted jimin with a grin that was brighter than the full moon, shining luminously above them. "need some fresh air?"
jimin nodded sluggishly, still tired from the long trip. "it's so beautiful here." he leaned his head taehyung, letting his eyes flutter shut. "thank you so much."
taehyung chuckled, pecking a kiss on jimin's forehead. "you've already slept so much," he mused. "it's barely seven. besides, we booked a fancy restaurant for today, so you'd better stay awake."
"how the hell did you guys pay for all of this?" jimin murmured. "it can't be less than a couple thousand dollars."
"you know how we talked about forming a band some day?" taehyung replied. "yoongi's a famous rapper on the web. he actually gets a decent amount of money. he was like, hey, why don't we all go on a vacation together because we've literally been slacking off in college for the last four months and we totally deserve it? and everyone was like, hey, why not? so here we are."
jimin laughed at his crush's overly complicated explanation. "great," he murmured. "i'm so happy to spend more time with you."
taehyung placed his hand on top of jimin's, giving it a strong squeeze. "me too."
a sharp knock on the door interrupted their peaceful moment. "get ready," hoseok yelled through the small crack in the door. "we're gonna leave in ten minutes."
taehyung unlatched his hand. "that's our queue," he smiled. "let's go."
jimin nodded distractedly and headed back into the cool room, wiping his sweaty brow. compared to his hometown, it was hot as hell in hawaii. he opened up his huge suitcase and began to fish out for some fancy suit, which hoseok had conveniently packed for him. he began to head towards the bathroom, but stopped in his tracks.
taehyung was literally undressing right in the middle of the room; he was currently just standing there, searching for his tie, in his boxers and nothing else.
jimin let out a quiet whimper as his face flushed red, scurrying off into the bathroom. suddenly, it was far hotter in the hotel than outside.
he hid in there for a couple of minutes, simply sitting on the toilet seat and inwardly dying, until taehyung knocked on the door and asked him to hurry up.
once dressed and ready, he glanced at himself in the mirror and practiced his wink. he combed his hair with his hand, and for the first time in forever, jimin actually thought that he looked half-decent.
taehyung finally got tired of waiting and swung open the door, his hand leaning on the wall. his jaw dropped to the floor as soon as he set his eyes on jimin. "damn, park," he murmured. "you look good."
jimin blushed as he turned around to face taehyung, who was all prepped and ready. he gulped at the sight of taehyung dressed up so nicely. "uh," he stuttered, unable to form any proper words. "you look better."
