BORA BORA ||PoLyAmOrY bts

Deux ❣️

Namjoon stretched as he walked out of his shared room and yawned loudly as he sat down in the dining room. He was the last one to wake up; the others were already at the table, silently eating their food. They were not happy or cheerful as they appeared in front of their audience. No, they barely spoke to each other when not in the spotlight, and some wished they could be as happy in private as they pretended to be in public. But wishes were rare, and this was one of them.

Namjoon glanced at each of their gloomy faces before sighing and digging into his breakfast, which was made by Jin.

As they finished eating and prepared to walk away from each other, the doorbell rang. Jin got up, walked toward the door, and opened it, bowing slightly to greet their manager before letting him in and closing the door.

The others calmly walked into the living room and sat down as their manager instructed them. He looked at them and smiled softly before placing an envelope on the coffee table. The boys exchanged confused glances, none of them approaching the envelope.

"You guys are going on vacation," their manager said, making their eyes widen. "You really need a break. Look at you; you all look dead and gloomy... you weren't like this before," he hesitated before speaking.

The boys averted their eyes around the room, trying not to look at each other. The manager sighed and ran a hand through his silky black hair before getting up. "Get ready, you guys are leaving tomorrow."

"Where are we going?" Yoongi was the first to break the silence. The manager smirked as he turned around to look at him. "Oh, you'll love it... just open that envelope and see for yourself."

He left without saying another word, leaving the boys to stare at the envelope. Finally, Namjoon decided to open it instead of telling the boys where they were going. He read the letter and left it on the table.

One by one, the boys glanced at it, reluctant to speak to one another. They chose not to read it aloud.

Finally, Jungkook, the last to look at the letter, whispered excitedly to himself, "We're going to Bora Bora!" He squealed happily, filling the room with his excitement since he was alone in the living room.

Each one of them had packed and was ready to go; they were waiting for their manager to pick them up.

As soon as the manager arrived at their dorm, he and the driver unloaded their bags into the trunk of the van and ushered them inside.

No words were spoken as they sat in silence, waiting for their destination. When they arrived at the airport, they pulled out their glasses and masks to cover their faces since no one knew they were leaving, and they didn’t want to be seen.

As they went through check-in, they noticed their manager was not in line. He smiled at them. "I'm not coming with you guys. Have fun," he said while waving. The boys passed through the gate, leaving their manager behind.

Once they were on the other side, it felt much quieter without the manager to fill the silence with conversation. Even though people around them were chatting, it felt like dead silence to them. They sat awkwardly, waiting to be called to board the plane.

Once they settled into their seats, Yoongi fell asleep to avoid any conversation, Taehyung started watching a movie, Jin ordered some food to keep himself busy, Namjoon read a book, Jimin tried to fall asleep too, Jungkook searched for something to watch, and finally, Hoseok lost himself in thought about how their lives had changed.

They were not like this before—far from it. They had been cheerful and talkative when they started. Now, they avoided each other at all costs, speaking only when necessary. Hoseok remembered when the shift began, roughly a year ago.

At first, it disturbed him greatly when one by one, the others ignored him when he tried to talk. He felt like quitting or even giving up entirely; it was painful when the people he spent every day with wouldn’t even spare him a simple "hi."

Eventually, he realized something he wished he hadn’t: he wished he could ignore his feelings, but when they hit him hard, he couldn’t retreat. Following the others' example, he stopped talking to them as well.

It was difficult to suppress the urge to come clean about his feelings, but he had fought to keep quiet all year. He felt disgusted with himself and like a freak for having those feelings. It troubled him deeply, and he wished he could turn back time to how they used to be—before.

But wishes were rarely granted, and he knew this one wouldn’t become a reality anytime soon. All those thoughts made him so tired that he eventually fell asleep, his head resting on Jungkook’s shoulder.The boy was startled at first, but when he looked at his hyung's face, he sighed. He prayed that whatever was going on would change because he was getting tired. He looked around and noticed that his hyungs were either falling asleep or engrossed in their movies. He quickly gave Hoseok a peck on the head and then turned back to his film.
