"Okay, hit the ball properly this time Jin!" Yoongi grumbled. He looked annoyed, but if you looked closer, he was just amused.

They were filming their latest Run episode. This time they had to hit a ball across a net in the middle of a pool. They were all in their swimming shorts, even though it was sort of chilly today.

Taehyung was fine with it. He had been fed up with the amount of boring individual schedules they had, and this was a welcome distraction. If the management wanted him to jump around in a pool and play volleyball, he was fine with it. The teams were Yoongi, Jimin, Hoseok and Taehyung versus Namjoon, Jungkook and Jin.

None of them were quite good at it; every few minutes, one of them missed the ball, but it was okay. They were there to have fun, not for anything else. The point of life was to be happy, not to impress anybody.

"Okay ready?" Jin asked. He threw the ball into the air and served it to the other side. Jimin smacked it back to the other side. Namjoon hit it back, then Hoseok, then Jungkook, then Tae... the game went on.

"Are you guys having fun?" Jimin asked when Jin had once again slapped the ball the other way.

"Yeah!" Taehyung exclaimed loudly.

"I would be having more fun if a certain somebody actually knew how to play properly..." Yoongi mumbled.

Hoseok laughed. "You aren't the greatest either Yoongi hyung," he said.

"I'm better than him!"

Jimin and Taehyung exchanged a look while Hoseok started to splash water at Yoongi. Despite them being older, their mental ages were pretty much the same.

"Hey, this isn't my fault. I was never taught how to play this game!" Jin yelled from the other side.

"It's actually quite easy, all you do is hit a ball back and forth," Hoseok said.

Jin made a face. "That's what you say for dancing too, but guess what, dancing isn't easy!"

Jungkook burst into loud giggles.

"Stop laughing, this is serious. You're our best player and you need to focus," Namjoon said. He glanced at Jin who turned back to glare at him.

"Excuse me? A whole freaking Jin is standing here, and you tell Jungkook that he's the best?"

"Fuck," Yoongi snapped. "You guys need to hurry up or else I'll get out of the pool."

Taehyung would've fallen to his knees in laughter, but he contented himself with just covering his mouth with his hand and laughing. He could already see their fans making memes out of this conversation.

Jin gulped. He turned back to face the other team, serving the ball.

Yoongi caught the ball in mid-air just before the director screamed "cut!" out loud. They were going to adjust the cameras a bit, and then they were going to go right back to filming.

Taehyung watched the staff adjust the big cameras. He remembered using a small handheld camera for shooting his own music video. It had been called Winter Bear, and even now, Taehyung knew it was one of his best works. He hoped that one day, he would get to direct his own music video with huge cameras such as these. That was something that Taehyung wanted more than anything.  His dream was to inspire people, and the best way to do that was to show it through the two things he loved the most: music and film.
