Bon Voyage. Love it or hate it, you had to admit that it was iconic. It was 2019 now, and it was time for the fourth season. Now the boys were in New Zealand. It got stifling sometimes to always be surrounded by cameras but it was all for a good cause. Plus they got to do fun things that they normally wouldn't have a chance to do.

And of course, iconic memes would be born, but Taehyung tried not to think about that.

This time, it was no different. Taehyung got to do all these fun things such as going on fun trips around the country, going horseback riding and even just hanging out with each other and enjoying the company. It had been a long time since they had had time to relax and even though they had to go by a basic script and be entertaining for the cameras, it was still more relaxing than going through brutal ten-hour dance practices. At least, in Taehyung's opinion it was.

But the others looked genuinely cheerful as well. Jin had dragged Yoongi to go fishing; it seemed to be the eldest's new hobby these days. The rapper complained that all the eldest looked for whenever he went somewhere were "good fishing spots". But nevertheless, whether Yoongi would ever admit it or not, he went along with Jin and they both enjoyed themselves. Taehyung and Jimin spent their time chasing each other, the former on a horse and the mochi on a bike. Hoseok was left behind by the others at a gas station and they all laughed at him.

Taehyung spent his time skipping around and ordering food at McDonald's (all by himself and in English, he had proudly bragged to his sister when she had called), playing in the snow and going horseback riding.

Fun times.

The door opened with a bang. Taehyung had expected someone else to be home before him but as he looked around the house, he realized he was the only one here. The cameras followed him around.

He headed to his room to change into more comfortable clothes. The clothes he had to wear outside sometimes felt uncomfortable on his skin. And today he was feeling a little sluggish anyway.

The filming continued after he stepped outside of his room. Taehyung decided to study up on the rules of UNO. He was pretty terrible at the game and that was only because he didn't know the rules properly.

He settled onto the couch with his phone. The cameraman stopped filming after a while. Taehyung just sitting on the couch staring at his phone wouldn't make for a very interesting show.

Meanwhile, he was too engrossed in his work. The UNO rules weren't even all that hard; Taehyung felt a bit stupid for being so terrible at the game.

The whole thing was just about matching colours and numbers. And there were the Wild cards that you could use to change the colour. And there were the Reverse cards, Skip a Turn cards, Draw Two cards...

Taehyung sighed quietly as he switched off his phone. There really wasn't anything he couldn't understand, it was just a matter of him actually putting in the effort and trying.

He stared at the wall in front of him for a few moments, wondering what he should do now. The cameraman was filming again. Taehyung blinked a couple times. He stifled a yawn with his hand.

He felt tired. All that reading had reminded him of how exhausted he really was from running around New Zealand all day.

"I'm going to just take a nap, so..."

"No filming?"

Taehyung nodded. "That would be preferable."

The cameras were switched off and they were lowered.
