Cold [NAMJIN]

The crowded and noisy amusement park gleamed so brightly under the burning sun Jeongguk had to momentarily cover his eyes.

When Jimin asked him and Taehyung if they wanted to hang out somewhere for the weekend, he really didn't expect him to take them somewhere that is most probably gonna give them more stress when the reason they wanted to go out in the first place is to relax.

"Yoongi's gonna arrive in about five minutes." Jimin excitedly said from beside Jeongguk, more to himself than to them actually.

"You mean that small but scary guy who looked really comfortable hugging and kissing you when we went to save Jin-hyung?" Taehyung piped in.

Jimin gave him a scowl. "He has a name, Tae."

Taehyung only gave him a shrug as response.

"Are you two a thing or something?" Jeongguk turned to Jimin.

Jimin visibly tensed at the question. He looked between Taehyung-whose attention is now focused on a balloon vendor standing a few meters away-and Jeongguk, looking conflicted before finally giving up, sighing loudly.

"You can't tell anyone, Kook. Absolutely no one." Jimin gave Jeongguk a look which is between threatening and pleading, lips pursed in a thin line.

"What can't we tell anyone?" Taehyung suddenly joined in, now holding an ice cream cone in his hands.

Jeongguk gave him a bewildered look. "When did you buy that?"

Taehyung just shrugged. "So, what is it that we can't tell anyone?" He repeated, looking between the two boys.

Before either Jimin and Jeongguk could open their mouth to respond, a loud ringing ripped through the air. Jimin instantly grabbed his phone before turning his back to the two, voice inaudible as he spoke to the person on the other line.

"Is it something about that Yoongi person?" Taehyung continued to ask, poking Jeongguk on the cheek.

Jeongguk sighed before reaching for Taehyung's arm, specifically the one holding the ice cream and taking a large bite.

"Yah!" Taehyung immediately yanked his arm back. He gave Jeongguk a murderous look. "That's mine."

Jeongguk just gave him a shrug before turning around, just in time to see Jimin hang up.

"I'm just gonna go get Yoongi from the parking area. You guys can wait here." The boy told them before rushing off, leaving the two of them under the blaring sun.

Jeongguk tutted before turning to Taehyung and grabbed his arm, pulling him towards the large umbrellas in front of the numerous food shops lining up on one side of the park.

It's been a stressful week for Jeongguk, what with the whole kidnapping that happened to Jin and the instant popularity their group suddenly received when they showed up at school the next morning all cut up and bruised.

What he initially planned to do today, on a fucking Saturday was to relax, unwind. So when Jimin asked about doing exactly just that, he immediately agreed. He didn't expect the little fucker to bring them someplace totally not built for relaxing though.

What he had in mind at first was maybe a cozy Manga Cafe where they can lie around and read comics until their eyes couldn't take it anymore. Maybe even a new restaurant where they'd do nothing but stuff their stomach with food.

But the amusement park? Nah. That place was at the very bottom of the places Jeongguk had in mind. But somehow, someway, he was here, standing inside the park, a Kim Taehyung beside him who couldn't really care less.
