"Okay here's the plan, " Namjoon says playing with a stick on the sand. 

Everyone gathers around, showered and dressed and ready.  You're in a simple yellow shirt and shorts,  dressed casually like everyone else though you can't help noticing how fashionable Hoseok had a tendency to be. 

"We'll split into teams.  That way we can explore this place better, " Namjoon continues.  "Each team will head in a different direction.  We have our phones to contact each other in case we have any trouble or find something interesting.  In any case, we meet back here by three. "

"What about lunch?" Is the first question. 

"Figure it out. "

"Is Jin hyung in my team? " Is the second question. "I want to be in Team Kim Seokjin. "

Jin high fives Taehyung. "Damn right.  We the winning team. "

"Wanna bet?" Jimin dares.

Namjoon shakes his head looking so done and for the hundredth time with that expression that makes him look like he's wondering how he ended up with such a gang. 

"Alright, rock paper scissors, " Jungkook announces and everyone puts their hands forward.  Over time with the boys you realised this was the solution to every problem no matter what it was.  Who drives?  Rock paper scissors.  Who does the dishes?  Rock papers scissors. Who's gonna do a backflip into the water from off the stern?  Rock papers scissors. 

"Four teams of two." Namjoon says. "And directions go clockwise starting from north.  So then east, south,  and west follow. "

The game goes faster than you can blink.  The first ones to get paired are Seokjin and Jungkook followed by Jimin and Yoongi who pull fists together.

The four of you left, gather around nervously. You glance around at your chances. Between,  Hoseok,  Taehyung and Namjoon the choice was in the hand of fate.  

"Alright... Rock...papers...sci-"

You throw an open palm,  and seconds later it's grabbed by your partner as he grins at you.

"Let's go girl, " Namjoon winks, still holding your hand. You grasp it tightly, charmed by his enthusiasm.

After a few minutes of discussion,  as the first decision of directions was followed by argument among the teams, it's decided that Jinkook would head South as it turned out to be Jungkook's favorite direction.

Yoonmin chose east, and with another round of rock papers scissors it was finalised that Namjoon and you were the North heading people. 

You grab your sling bag,  looking forward to the walk since you weren't paired with the two grumpy babies aka Yoonkook and Namjoon seemed so nature loving and at ease,  it wasn't awkward. 

With the sun shining brightly above you heads, a great difference from that every cloudy city,  you start off.  He walks behind slightly behind you allowing you to cut through the brush and plants and have the first sight if whatever there was to see.  As you were both heading north,  you didn't have to walk along the shore but through instant vegetation of forests.  It was cool and shadows played everywhere.  You planned secretly to have a game of hide and seek with the maknae line later. 

"You know, " Namjoon says tentatively. "If you get tired, I can carry you. "

You smile, amused.  "But Namjoon we just started."

"Just saying."

"Careful there's a thorny bush here, " You point out to him as you slip past it. "Don't get your pretty face scratched up. "
