Summer Camp (Taegi)

29$

I was getting kinda annoyed with myself for making this entire story in yoongi' point of view cuz things get kinda repetitive that way, but I already decided that the sequel will be all Taehyung p.o.v . To even things out.

"Maybe its a nickname."

"A nickname?"

"Yeah, like how BamBam isn't my real name and Sorn isn't my sisters real name. Our names are harder to remember so people use our nicknames instead. Like that kid Ten, that's not his real name."

"Wait...BamBam isn't your real name?"

I feel like I've been lied too. It's not like he ever said that was his real name, or ever implied it, but somehow I got the idea stuck in my head that his parents were trying to fuck with him. Flintstones fans maybe. The boy even had the right coloured hair.

The white haired male rolls his eyes at my hurt expression.

"Jokes aside. Maybe you can't find the dude because you're looking for the wrong person."

Could we really be looking for the wrong guy? The chances of spotting him walking around were a literal zero. There were so many boys around here it was hard to breathe with all the testosterone polluting the oxygen. Though I'm quite sure not all of us are boys. I saw some questionable things in the community showers the other day. The carpet has to match the drapes or there really is no point in hiding is there.

"Well if we can't find him the only way is to ask."

We're having rec class with Jungkook today. The first one we've had since the beginning of camp. Apparently he's known for skipping out on his camp duties, not that any of us really care.

Rec class is a bit different than the others. Instead of just being our single ladies groups we get to join up with another group to even the playing fields. Lady Luck seems to be in our favor as the group playing in on our class just happened to have Bangchan in it. Him and Felix.

"Hey." I say sliding up to stretch beside them. "Just you two?"

By the way they stop to look at me I can tell that they remember me. From either Taehyungs scene or Yugyeoms scene. Both drew a good amount of attention.

Bangchan pulls his arm across his chest hooking the other under his elbow and holding it there. "Yeah!" He says smiling " the others have dance right now."

Felix just glared. He obviously wasn't a fan of the yoongles.

"Others?" I ask focusing on Bangchan. He seemed friendly enough.

At my back BamBam bends down to touch his toes. Shuffling inch by inch so he could get close enough to hear without being noticed.

"Chanyeol. Baekhyun, kyungsoo. You've met them." He says

I nod slowly. What exactly is the best way to bring this up?

"I could swear I saw another boy eat lunch with you guys before. Where is he?"

Bangchan frowns (idk why but I always call Bangchan changbin and changbin Bangchan. Hyunjin bias tho) pouting his lips and looking to Felix "I don't know who you mean."

"You sure?" I go on. Pulling my arms behind my back till they crack when Jungkook sends me a death glare. He sure hates coaching classes but he was dead serious about exercise. "I've seen him walking around with Kyungsoo a few times too. I think his name was Kyle?"

Felix rolls his brown eyes "Kai? You mean Kai? "

Suddenly Bangchans face lights up and his mouth forms as perfect little o shape. "You mean Jongin!?"

Jongin. Kai=Jongin .

"Oh is that his name?" I ask feigning innocence. "I've just heard people calling him Kyle so I just assumed.

"Kai." Felix corrects me again. His brows furrowed heavily in annoyance. The blue haired boy beside him reaching over to smooth them out with his finger and a boyish smile " you'll get wrinkles early" he says.

Felix blushes but doesn't say anything more.

Instead he finished up his last bit of stretching before wandering off to another small group of chatting boys. Probably embarrassed that I witnessed that.

Bangchan watches him go with a small smirk.

"So do you guys share a cabin?" I ask
The other snaps back into focus. Already having completely forgotten he was ever talking to me .

"Oh no I share with Felix." He says " kyungsoo shares with Jongin and baek shares with Channie. Don't you share with that boy? The blonde one?"

"Taehyung."

"Yeah him!" Bangchan snaps his finger " he gave me chills the last time I saw him. He's got that serial killer stare."

I winced at the boys description of Taehyungs blank gaze. I knew the blonde had a habit of zoning out on account of his brain always running a million miles an hour. Always piecing together vision flashes. Trying to estimate how much time he had left before the victims perished.

Then there was the situation.

I couldn't blame him for not being able to look happy when he truly wasn't.

I just hoped that one day I could rekindle the extinguished light behind his eyes.

"Taehyungs just a strange one. You'll love him once you get to know him."

Jungkook decides that we've had enough stretching and blows his whistle. The sound is very sharp and sudden and it hurts my ears. Yet nothing could ever beat out Coach Raffes megaphone. Ill make sure and destroy that thing before this was all over.

"I'm sure I will. How about you two come down to our cabin later? The gang is getting together to discuss ideas for the competition."

This situation reminds me of when I was first invited to hang out at the treehouse. I was way more secluded back then. And stuttered a lot . Can't remember the last time I did that. Was that really a good thing? Should I be happy that I've changed so much in such a short period of time?

"Sure, I'll run it by Tae and see what he says."

Without waiting for a response I turn and walk away to the jogging train. A wide cleared dirt path spanning the entirety of the lake. We had to run that ten times.

I catch up to BamBam so we could jog together and tell him all that I learnt.
