Next morning, four heads woke up in a bed of only two. They were much too excited last night to remember who didn't belong in the house leading to the cramped packaging of them in the morning that followed. But they didn't seemed to mind at all.

Jungkook and Hoseok quickly got fresh first and forced the other two sleepy heads out later. They came out for the breakfast where Mr. and Mrs. Jeon were already sitting and talking. The sight of the boys made the elders pause and look up, only to chuckle at them. Just like last time, a shirtless and dozing Taehyung was being dragged out by Hoseok while Jungkook was followed by a shirtless and sleepy Jimin, who was fortunately walking on his own. They bowed and greeted before taking their seats at the table.

The atmosphere soon became silent as they all sat down. It wasn't an awkward one given the fact that it was only morning and the kids weren't even properly awake. Mrs. Jeon, however, caught a very well awake and cautious Jungkook stealing glances at Taehyung's bare torso multiple times as they ate their breakfast in silence, but didn't comment on it. She cleared her throat after a long moment of waiting for someone else to speak up.

"So boys, are you ready for the trip, tomorrow?" Five heads perked up and replied unanimously.

"Uh huh!"

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"Of course!"

"Yes!"

She giggled at the sleepy ones who were now sitting up straight all of a sudden at the mention of trip.

"Alright then, we will be leaving early so you all should get your packing done by this evening." She explained.

"We have to wake up early again?" Taehyung whined earning small giggles from the elders.

"Where are we going exactly, anyway?" Hoseok ignored him and asked as he stuffed his mouth.

"Would you rather be surprised?" Mr. Jeon asked earning curious looks from the boys.

"That would be much better actually." Hoseok replied and after a sudden realization added. "Would you mind if one more person joined us?"

Mr. and Mrs. Jeon looked at each other and shrugged. "Who is it?"

"Yeah, who?" The boys didn't know what he was talking about either.

"Namjoon hyung."

Both parents smiled instantly at the name while the young ones recalled yesterday's events and snickered.

"If he can give us his precious time we would be more grateful than we already are of him. We would never mind his company." Mrs. Jeon glanced at Jungkook as she said so and once again found his eyes running off to Taehyung. She couldn't keep it to herself this time and wanted to tease Jungkook.

"So, does Taehyung hate wearing a shirt to bed, too, like our Jimin?"
Jimin had become used to it so he didn't bother with putting one on at breakfast even with Jungkook's parents around. Hence, he was completely unfazed by the comment. Taehyung, however, blinked at her and then looked down feeling exposed all of a sudden. He was half asleep when he was dragged out so, of course, he didn't think about seeing Jungkook's parents in his half naked state.

Mrs. Jeon giggled at the sight of Taehyung blushing and sneaked a peek at Jungkook's reaction, who was now very keenly looking at his breakfast. She controlled her laughter as she pushed further.

"Oh don't be shy. We can understand. After all, that perfect collar bone and milky smooth skin is worth showing off. Don't you think, honey?" Mrs. Jeon exaggerated as much as she could and enjoyed every second of shyness Taehyung was showing. What added to her amusement was the silently choking Jungkook.

"I'm offended. You can't possibly expect that from me, now. I'm over 40 this year." Mr. Jeon pouted as he said drooping his head slowly like a kid would after being told he won't be getting a candy.

Mrs. Jeon squealed at her husband's attempt and pinched his cheek.
"Aigoo! Cute!"

The kids just gawked at the open affectionate gestures being displayed in front of them and the sight made their hearts melt. It was a rare sight, indeed.

Taehyung, however, was only grateful that he was out of spotlight. And so was Jungkook who couldn't believe how detailed of a praising his mother was doing just a moment ago. Granted, Taehyung had a.. a good physique, but that didn't mean she could just start narrating her inner teenage girl's thoughts just like that. Not to mention, all the others at the table were also boys- and a man. Also, Taehyung had just woken up. Not everyone is hyper active and well aware of their surroundings when they wake up early in the morning, especially on weekends. Taehyung certainly doesn't look anywhere near that type of a person. Now, he must be very embarrassed by what she just said. But why does he keep trying to cover himself with his hands, now? It won't work. How much can he cover with only two hands? If anything, he just looks like a model posing for a cover magazine, doing that. That would really suit him, actually. He has amazing looks, gorgeous body and - that was just a praise- and an observation, nothing else. His collar bone was showing now. Wow, it really does look amazing. Okay, now he covered that but left his belly open. Oh, look there's a mole. How cute! Woah Woah Woah! No way! No! That thought just DID NOT occur.

Jungkook didn't realize that his inner rant had distracted him so much that he forgot to take his eyes off of Taehyung, who was now blushing uncomfortably under his intense gaze and trying to cover the spots Jungkook's eyes kept piercing as they roamed his body. When Jimin noticed Taehyung's discomfort, he turned at Jungkook and saw him spacing out while his eyes never left Taehyung. Jimin nudged Jungkook a little and Jungkook snapped his head towards him instantly.

"Huh, what?" He asked lowly.

"Dude, why were you eye fucking him like that?" Jimin questioned causally jerking his head slightly towards Taehyung, as if it was the most common thing to ask, which made Jungkook slip his elbow on the table. He looked around to see if anyone noticed him. Thankfully, no one did.

"WHAT?" He harshly whispered.
"No! I_I wasn't. I was just.. thinking.. about something else." He knew what he told was half the truth but he was definitely NOT eye fucking Taehyung. He was just admitting to a fact that Taehyung had the looks to work as a model. That was it.

"Yeah? About what? Wait. Lemme guess. It's about Taehyung and you.. Um, maybe, doing stuff? Hmm?" A sly smirk made it's way to Jimin's lips as he wiggled his eyebrows making Jungkook's jaw drop.

"Can you keep your perverted thoughts to yourself, for once?" Jungkook looked back down at his plate. He was almost done, so he put the last bit of food in his mouth and picked up his plate as he made his way to the kitchen. All the while, he made sure to, not even once, make eye contact with Taehyung. Jimin followed him soon enough and reached him from behind as he whispered into his ear.

"Oh, come on. You can tell me. I won't judge. I know you like him. You still have drool on your face from when you were ogling over him just now." Jimin's bold statement made Jungkook almost slip the plate from his hands. Almost. He whipped around to look at him.

"What? No! Why would you- *sigh* Never mind." Jungkook gave up on arguing with him, washed his plate and put it aside before going back to the others. He didn't give in to Jimin's trap by wiping his face because he knew for sure that he didn't drool but if he had made the mistake of checking, Jimin would have taken it the wrong way and that would be the death of Jungkook.

"I will start packing now." He announced and after getting a few nods he moved to his room.

Jimin ran after him with a "Me too". Taehyung and Hoseok were done after a few more minutes and decided to help Jungkook and Jimin before going back home. They bowed to the elders and and left the table. Taehyung tried to hide behind Hoseok as they left since Mrs. Jeon's previous compliment still lingered in his mind and he couldn't stop blushing. He made sure to keep a note to never take his shirt off at Jungkook's house, ever again.

When all four boys left, Mrs. Jeon turned to her husband with a small grin playing on her face.
"Do you still think you can win the bet?"

Mr. Jeon looked at the door to Jungkook's room first, which was closed now, and then turned back to his wife with a sigh.
"I really thought best friends developed crushes on each other these days as well, like we did in our time. Guess, I was wrong. Not that I'm complaining, though. They would look really good together."

Mrs. Jeon chuckled at that before picking up her and Mr. Jeon's plate and taking it to the kitchen.
