After that little accident we continued our journey, we were all a little happier, especially Betty with her new engine, but I definitely couldn't say the same thing for my wallet...

I was going to take the high route for California, but something made me change my mind.

I remembered a special place, and when I first discovered it I thought I was in paradise. It was almost like I could feel the force of nature hugging me. Everything was just so pure, no sign of humans anywhere, exactly how it should be.

I pulled into a country road and I parked the van in a small recess.

I jumped down, followed by a sleepy Yoongi.

"why are we here?"he asked "I thought we were going to take the highway?"

"Change of program" I explained before proceeding to collect food and some plaids. "I want to show you something."

And after that I was already on the trail with my backpack over my shoulder and the boy running after me.

The whole hike was silent, apart from pants coming from Yoongi, making me chuckle realizing that probably it was his first time doing something like that.

When we finally arrived, the singer was wordless, he just looked around, trying to hug the scenery with his eyes.

I was pleased to note that the place didn't changed at all.

It was exactly how I remembered it: the placid lake with little fishes swimming in it, green grass and colorful flowers all around it. And all different types of bird singing, chanting, and flying around us.

We quietly placed down our stuff, almost scared to break that state of trance we were both in.

We ate in silence enjoying the food and the view in front of us.

When we were done I cleaned up, the singer was already resting and I quickly followed, lying down next to him.

I looked at the sky, fluffy clouds passing by with all kinds of shades and sizes. I closed my eyes, and before I could realize it, I fell asleep with the sun gently caressing my face.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I woke up hours later, very overheated. I looked over to the boy who was waking up too.

"Damn, it's so hot!" he exclaimed

I got up, and I jumped into the lake without a second though.

The cold water instantly awaking me, thousands of small pitons hitting my skin, my muscles instantly revitalized.

I moved my wet hair from my eyes, and noticed Yoongi staring at me with a spooked look on his face, I invited him in but he still looked unsure.

Again, without a second thought, and not really caring about the consequences I took his hands and throw us in the water.

He emerged sputtering.

"You little...!" he didn't finished his sentence because I splashed him, only to receive the same treatment.

And just like that we spent the whole afternoon playing in the water like little kids.

I glanced at the singer: wet hair moved back and his shirt sticking to his torso giving me a not so innocent view of his toned body.

But I couldn't care less; there it was, again, just a shadow of his real smile.
