PACKING HIS STUFF, Jimin started humming a tune that's been stuck in his head for a while.

Calico is walking around on his bed, sniffing the clothes he has placed there to fold them and pack them into his bag.

„We will be gone for a while." Jimin says before petting his cat shortly, „I'm sure you will like it there Cali."

Jumping off the bed, Cali heads to the balcony door, waiting for Jimin to open it. A soft sigh leaves his lips as he knows what his cat wants to do.

„Can you please not cheat on me with that ass next door?" The dark haired male mumbles to his cat while opening the door, „He's not even feeding you. It's me. And still you go to him every day."

The cat just walks away, making Jimin sigh even louder.

Somehow the trip is making him worry. And Jimin doesn't even know why.

„Jiminie you can go with us!" Taehyung said as they gathered outside the next day to bring their bags into the two vans and to start their trip.

‚Jiminie' actually wanted to avoid driving with Yoongi but he can't really say no to Taehyung. Namjoon, Jin and Hoseok took the smaller van, while Taehyung, Jungkook and Yoongi decided to take the bigger one. Jimin had no other choice than driving with them.

After putting his bag in the back of the van, he notices that Jungkook and Taehyung already made themself comfortable in the backseat.

Sighing softly he walks up to the passenger seat, immediately making eye contact with one certain black haired male as he opens the door.

Without saying anything he sits down on his seat, waiting for Yoongi to start the engine.

„You ready?" Yoongi asks, mostly to the duo in the backseat, who just hum in responds.

They informed Jimin that it would be a 5 hour ride to their destination. But hell it felt like 10.

Taehyung and Jungkook were talking in the back the whole time, joking around and bickering over some random things, sometimes they would involve Jimin and Yoongi into their discussions.

At some point it went so silent that Jimin turned around just to find the two of them, leaned against each other while sleeping peacefully. It made Jimin frown because he never really noticed Tae and Jungkook being this close, but then again, he didn't really paid attention before.

They've been following the car of the rest of the group for a few hours before Yoongi suddenly took a halt at a gas station.

Jimin looks at him with a frown and without having to say something, Yoongi knows what the look on Jimin's face means.

„I have to pee." The elder answers bluntly before leaving the car.

Jimin sighs as he rests his elbow on his window, waiting for Yoongi to return.

A sudden knock on his window made him flinch a little bit as he looks to his right, spotting Yoongi's head just next to him.

„Do you wanna drive?" He asks, making Jimin blink and think for a second before he nods in response. Yoongi takes a step back so that Jimin can leave the car and switch the positions.

„But I don't know the way." Jimin says as he sits down and starts the engine. Just then he notices the grocery bag in Yoongi's hands.

„I will tell you." The elder responds now looking at Jimin, which makes the younger look back at him as well. They just stare at each other for a short moment, that feels like a whole eternity for Jimin.

The black haired male is mesmerized, mesmerized by Yoongi's effortless beauty. Just him being in casual clothes, his hair slightly messy, falling over his eyes, his porcelain like skin that seems so flawless, the feline black eyes, that always pierce Jimin with such an intensity and the soft rosy lips. The soft rosy lips.

As Yoongi clears his throat, Jimin realizes that he has been staring at the older male way too long.

The younger looks back to the front, finally driving off onto the road, totally embarrassed about him staring at Yoongi awkwardly long. The elder kept silent, and talked only when he needed to tell Jimin the way.

„I bought you something to drink." Yoongi interrupts the silence after a while, making Jimin look at him shortly.

The road is free, there are barely any cars driving around this time, as they reached a small village they have to pass.

„Oh- thanks." Jimin responds puzzled, not sure how to react to that.

The next moment Yoongi hands him the can of coke, already opened so that Jimin could drink it right away.

After taking a few sips he places it into the drink holder of the car, focusing back on the road.

But somehow, someone is distracting him. Badly.

It's the black eyes of the Sergeant that are looking straight at him, staring right into his soul as he tries to focus on the street in front of him.

But Yoongi is shameless. He just stares at him and it's so obvious that Jimin has the urge to smirk but he keeps his straight face.

He isn't sure how to feel about it. But Jimin knows there's always been some sort of attraction and tension between the two of them. From the very beginning already. It's the stares, the jokes, the kiss.

Hell- he would do it again. And he would do anything to feel Yoongi's lips on his own again.

But of course he hasn't forgotten what the elder said to him the last time. And it still hurts him. But that's on the working side - on the personal, he would be lying if he said, that he isn't attracted to the older male.

He's good looking and he has that mysterious side, he has his own charms, his own way of thinking. He has a smart mind, a good and secretly caring heart.

His eyes are what take way Jimin's breath and his hands - they feel so good on the younger male. Not to mention the lips, how perfectly they moved against Jimin's.

Fuck. What is he thinking?

Yoongi is his partner - well he should be.

But Jimin can't help himself. He really wants Yoongi.

„Can you please stop staring?" Jimin says out of sudden, being surprised by himself that he actually said that out loud. But Jimin isn't someone to hold himself back. He's straightforward.

„Why?" The elder responds right away. Jimin has to smirk shortly. Yoongi didn't even deny that he was starting.

„Should I tell you the truth or a lie?" The younger says in response, making Yoongi tilt his head slightly to the side but without taking his eyes off Jimin.

„Let me hear the lie first."

The younger has a soft smirk on his lips, „Because I don't like it, when you stare at me."

Yoongi nods while crossing his arms, now leaning his head against the headrest, still staring at Jimin.

„And the truth?" Yoongi asks, as he watches Jimin biting his lower lip, as if he's slightly hesitating in telling the truth, why he wants Yoongi to stop staring.

„The truth is-" Jimin starts, as he finally looks at the elder, „Because I feel attracted to you."

Their eyes meet for s short moment, before Jimin quickly looks back to the road, not even expecting an answer from the elder.

A sudden sound leaves Yoongi's lips, something between a snort and a chuckle, but Jimin doesn't mind. The black haired male just smirks without looking at the man next to him. He wanted the truth, and that is the truth.

„You surprise me all the time, Park." The elder says, before Jimin suddenly feels a hand on his thigh, followed by a short and soft squeeze.

His heart skipped a beat but he had no time to react, because the next moment, Yoongi points at a parking lot.

„We're here."

Bonding - Jimin knows how he wants to bond with Yoongi. But that for sure isn't what Namjoon meant by paring him and Yoongi into one bungalow.

The younger is confused, because Yoongi is confusing him.

One day he is cold and distant, he rejects Jimin and doesn't want to work with him, but the next day, he jokes with him, even flirts with him, kisses him.

It's quite confusing to Jimin, he doesn't know what to think, feel and especially what to do.

The bungalow he and Yoongi got, has two bedrooms, one bathroom and a living room with a small kitchen. All in all it's a cozy place.

Without saying a word, Yoongi passes him and heads to the room that's further away from the entrance. So Jimin takes the other one, bringing his bag there to unpack his stuff before they meet up with the rest of the group.

They decided to go grocery shopping and to cook together in Hoseok's, Taehyung's and Jungkook's Bungalow since it's the biggest one. They will set a campfire in the evening and spent the night outside in front of the three bungalows.

„Hey Jiminie!" A familiar voice interrupts his thoughts as he walks up to the living room.

„Join me, Hobi and Jungkookie." Taehyung says as he spots Jimin leaving his room.

„We want to go shopping right away, come with us." The younger male adds, placing his arm around Jimin, a big smile on his lips.

„Uhm- yeah sure." He answers before his gaze meets Yoongi's who's across the room, bringing some stuff to the kitchen.

Jimin looks at him for a short moment, before the elder breaks the eye contact, continuing unpacking his stuff. „See you later." The elder adds, making Jimin look at him again, a sudden warmth taking over his body. Of course he brushes it off and follows Taehyung outside, where the other two males were waiting for them.

They headed to a grocery store not far away by foot. On their way they were talking about different stuff, mostly discussing what to buy because they hadn't thought about what they want to cook actually.

„Are you and Yoongi Hyung not talking?" Taehyung asks bluntly, changing the topic after a while.

„It's complicated." Jimin responds, earning a concerned look from Taehyung and a curious one from Jungkook. The eldest of them already knows what's going on, but he stays silent, waiting for Jimin to explain it himself or not.

„You can talk to us if you want to." Taehyung responds, patting Jimin's back, as the older male nods.

„Thanks, I appreciate it, mate." Jimin says, faking a smile because thinking about Yoongi and their issue makes it hard for Jimin to be happy.

He has to talk to Yoongi. They really need to talk. And make out- wait what. No, no- they need to make up.

Jimin sighs internally, because of his dirty mind and his fantasy about him and Yoongi. Maybe getting into Yoongi's pants will make him want to work as a duo?

No. That's stupid. Their bond as working partners shouldn't be based on something like physical pleasure. He really wants to be a duo with the elder, based on trust and partnership.

„Jimin?"

The black haired male gets interrupted by the male next him making him look at him with a confused expression on his face.

„What?"

„I said we could set something up for the two of you, to get closer." Taehyung repeats his suggestion, Jimin didn't hear the first time.

„Oh- no, seriously no need to. He's just being a bitch. I can handle him." Jimin responds quickly, hoping that they will change the topic so that he doesn't have to think and talk about Yoongi the whole time.

Gladly Taehyung gave up and soon they arrived at the grocery store.

The shopping went well, it was fun actually and after they arrived back at their place, they started cooking with the rest of the group.

At first it was a disaster a total mess, with Jin scolding everyone and Namjoon breaking everything, but in the end they managed to cook some dishes and grill some meat outside.

The night went on more smoothly and calm, they drank beer, talked and laughed.

„Why don't you bring your guitar?" Joon asks, looking at one certain sergeant, making Jimin avert his eyes from his snack to Yoongi. The other snack.

„Nah. It's already quite late." Yoongi responds while waving his hand „no".

„Come on Hyung! Just one song." Taehyung whines, „I'm sure Jimin wants to hear you play."

The named male frowns, not sure why Taehyung had to mention him, but he guesses it's maybe because Jimin is the new member. Not because he wants to bring them closer.

Yoongi just looks at him, for a short moment, as if he was waiting for a yes from the younger, but Jimin suddenly felt nervous for a reason.

He looks away, shrugging while mumbling a quiet „why not", but it was loud enough for Yoongi to hear it. It took two words from Jimin to persuade Yoongi because the next moment he stands up and walks to their shared bungalow, coming back a few seconds later with his guitar.

Jimin was so in his thoughts earlier that he didn't even notice the guitar Yoongi has brought with him. He didn't even know that Yoongi can play at all.

Not long after he sat down, Yoongi started playing a song on the instrument, but Jimin was too mesmerized by Yoongi himself, that he couldn't really focus on the song at all.

The way he played, the way he moved his hand and fingers, closed his eyes and slowly nodded his head, everything he does, whether it be on purpose or not, everything about him, takes away Jimin's breath and makes his heart skip a beat.

Almost as if he has fallen for the elder. Almost.
