Unexpected

Titled part - I was right. I'm always right.

Ha Rim

I've agreed to all my Father's condition: to stay at home and never be seen in the office. Although I've been playing along the loopholes of those conditions, Father never said anything.

He knows me too well to believe that I keep myself quiet in my room with my comrades.

The plan was set. Yun and Hyuk would arrive later after me and Hok. As Hok investigates their background closely, my duty is to isolate other people before they get involve.

"Ha Rim" Yoongi's voice made it inside my head. He was telling me about the first aid and accupancture techniques Hyuk have taught him. I guess seeing that drew me back to the things I will do once I arrive to South Korea. One month had gone past and they've changed. They became one thing off my list to worry about.

"I apologize" I focus on the needles he have on the table in front of him. "You can't keep 5 cm needles.It will be suspicious if other people see it with you." I warned him as soon as I saw his complete set.

"I just told you the same thing a minute before"

I stared at him as I recollect my thoughts. Yoongi seemed to realized I'm out of concentration.

"Does it bother you that we will be leaving tomorrow?" He asked, fingers working to fold his accupanture mat.

"No, I'm not worried about the 7 of you. You've been trained. I know you'll be able to defend yourselves if anything happens"

"Then, what bothers you?"

I sighed before answering, "How can I go back when innocent people could get hurt because of me? That thought itself makes me anxious."

"Ha Rim, as a person older than you, here's what I've learned. In war, there will be no winners with the amount of hurt people. But the true winner should be able to justify their deaths" Yoongi tried his best to explain.

"And whatever happens, it's not your fault" he added and I can't help but smile. Who would have thought I will meet a South Korean person who is wise enough to understand me and my situation.

"You sure are old" I can't help but say it. Jungkook always made them laugh with that sentence and it's always effective.

I looked around and noticed that he's alone in their quarters. "Where are they, anyway?" I asked Yoongi.

"They've built a tent outside. This is our first time to play in the snow without much eyes on us" he stood up and wore his padded jacket.

"I asked you about accupancture to make sure you'll come with us" he fix himself and picked up his hat.

"Let's go outside"

I followed him without another second.

"Ha Rim!" Namjoon waved his hand high as soon as he saw me. The other looked my way and smiled as he did.

"Yoongi, you did great" Jin squeezed Yoongi's shoulder when he got near. This caused him to winced, "Hyung!" he pointed out.

"Hey, where will you feel muscle pain this much again? Even in our concert, we never had this kind of fatigue!" Jin laughed and sat down.

They've set up 8 chairs around a campfire. It was big enough to keep us warm for 2-3 hours.

"Ha Rim" Jungkook called and I nodded, "Jungkook".

We sounded too awkward that it made others to look at us with worried faces. "What happend to you two?" Taehyung asked loudly.

We couldn't answer him. Neither Jungkook or me have the courage to voice out where we started to grow such distance.

But we both know it. It was the same day I found him in the gym. He was the one who started being so open of his thoughts. "It will be so weird when we get married"

We both realized of what situation we've put ourselves in. Like two people who got burned from a kettle, we stood up and seperated our ways without any word after that.

"Don't make them more awkward!" Jimin slapped Taehyung's arm. "Just take a sit here, Ha Rim" he beamed at me and pointed out the chair next to him.

"Okay, okay" Hoseok clapped his hands as I got myself a chair. "We'll play 007 bang. The loser will get a pail of snow shove down his clothes, okay?" he excitedly explain.

"A pail of snow? You're trying to kills us" Namjoon look horrified at the size of the pail we'll use.

"After the game, we will get inside the building though. It won't be a problem" Yoongi commented as he eye the bonfire.

"You heard the medic. Now, let's go" Hoseok winked at Namjoon and they both laughed.

I'm knowledgeable about their customs now. The games, language, traditions and such. I've studied them well. And I can't believe how much they were all wasted when I lost the game.

"You won't make us run 12 laps for this, right?" Jin joked with the reference of Yun's method in training them.

I kneel down at the soft snow, crunching some against my knees. I've never done this before but I'm excited to try it.

"Rock, paper, scissor" Out of no where hands throwing rock, paper and scissor came out. With one round, Jungkook lost frustratedly.

"Oh, Jungkook is weak against snow!" Jimin laughed like it's worth of taking a note.

"This will be divided equally" Hoseok pointed at the pail in his hands. "Like Comrade Hok said, leave no comrade alone" he smiled at the qouted expression.

He pulled Jungkook's uniform in his back collar and put snow on it. Jungkook definitely clench his teeth at the coldness but laughed it off.

"Ah, I'm unlucky today" he groaned.

"Comrade Yi Ha Rim" Hoseok saluted before doing the same thing to me. "I'm sorry but rules are rules" he added while nervously emptying the pail.

The coldness hit me harder than I anticipated. I pulled Jungkook up and just run back to the building without much thought except for the snow in my back.

I heard the other holler but I ignored them as I was desperate for heat. My eyes are focused on entering nearest quarters. It belongs to the patrol guard but it doesn't matter. I need the snow out of me and I'm pretty sure it's empty.

I closed the door after Jungkook got it. "Take it off or hypothermia" I didn't have time to explain myself before I started taking off my uniform. Hat, padded jacket, upper uniform amd shirt.

I heard the snow dropped on the floor when I was left with my upper undergarment. Suddenly, the room was black pitch.

"You're making this way more harder than it should." Jungkook's voice quiver because of the snow. The sound of his clothes being hit against each other in a hurry made me realized what he was pointing out.

I was almost bare naked in front of his eyes. How stupid am I for being so careless? It just made us more awkward than before.

Being in our kind of arrangement was never right. I knew it from the start.

And I'm right..I'm always right.
