Chapter 5: Journeys and Tribulations

After we both settled in, Tae took me to his compartment which already had two other familiar faces in it.

"Omg are you stalking me?" exclaimed Jimin in a sing-songy voice when he saw me walk in.

"Jimin, everyone in the world is not after your ass!" Jungkook rolled his eyes.

That got him a punch on the arm. "Hey! You're just jealous no one can resist my cuteness!" he winked at Jungkook and then in my direction, making me blush.

I watched the The two of them begin to bicker and could only smile. Aww, they would make such a cute couple.

Tae comes running back to the carriage door excitedly. "Hey hey guys! I met some really friendly girls also going towards jeju! I invited them to come here, is that cool?"

"Are they hot?" asked Jungkook bluntly.

"Jungkook!" Jimin exclaimed.

"You bet!" Tae grinned at the guys.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that I wouldn't be spending any one on one time with Tae. Instead I'd have to share this small space with more strangers?

Great.

Looking up I see three girls walk into the small carriage. I could tell immediately they would be the loud and boisterous type, totally confident in themselves. Basically the opposite of me. This is going to be a long ride. They made themselves comfortable in the carriage, with one of the girls placing herself firmly next to Tae, causing myself to scoot over involuntarily.

As introductions started I found myself feeling more and more anxious, it was already difficult to speak comfortably in a group of 4 let alone this many strangers. I looked at Jimin and Jungkook but even they seemed at ease with all these new people.

The one that had planted herself next to Tae was called Hyosung and was undoubtedly the prettiest one there with her long brown hair, flawless skin and big doe-like eyes. Hanging on to his arm she spoke up to get everyone's attention "So lets play a game to get to know each other better!".

"Okay so I vote we play it's called Never have I ever, I'm sure you've all heard of it, so each time you guys have done something mentioned we take a shot!" Jungkook explained animatedly.

Everyone cheers in agreeance.

Jimin and another chick called Lisa handed out little plastic cups to everyone filled with a strong smelling liquid I suspect was alcohol. I took a small sip and gagged. Ew this tastes disgusting! How do people drink this?!

"Umm you guys wouldn't happen to have apple juice would you?" I asked timidly.

Tae raised his eyebrows, slightly amused. "You want apple juice? Are you feeling okay?"

I blushed a little. "No I just don't like the taste of the drink you gave me.."

"Honey, no one likes the taste of alcohol, we just drink it to get messed up" Hyosung says to me condescendly. "But here we have some apple juice in a cute carton for you"

"Ooo can we call her appy now?" shouts Lisa.

"Yeah appy I like it!" says someone opposite me, maybe Jimin.

I try to fake a smile feeling the pit of my stomach fall as we
