BTS Imagines 3

Namjoon ♡ Camping

Biiig thank you to @please-dont-stop-me for this idea. She kindly offered to help me with ideas for Namjoon, Hoseok, and Jin since I have no requests or ideas for them.

Listened to Spotify's Pumpkin Spice playlist while writing this. The vibes are perfect.

"Alright. Are you ready?" Namjoon asked.
"Yep." You nodded, closing the door of the trunk and moving to the driver's side.
Namjoon got inside the vehicle before you, buckling his seatbelt.
"This is so exciting." He grinned brightly. "Spending a few days out in the wilderness, being one with nature."
"Well, we're going to a campsite." You corrected. "We won't really be in the wilderness."
"Still. It's near the woods."
You chuckled. "This is right up your alley."
"It is." He grinned giddily. "I'm so glad we planned this."

The car ride was peaceful and more relaxing than you had anticipated. You and Namjoon had curated the perfect playlist to listen to while you headed to the campsite and it really helped to set the mood. Not only that, but listening to the music the two of you picked out while watching the surroundings change from the bustling city to silent roads covered in multicolored leaves was perfect.

You rolled the window down just a little bit, taking in the fresh air, redolent of woodsy and earthy scents, the faint undertone of petrichor tinting the air.
"Smells nice, doesn't it?" Namjoon spoke up.
"It does." You hummed, nodding and allowing the cool outdoor air to caress your face.
The season had transitioned from summer to fall and the leaves on the trees were turning the most stunning shades of red and orange. Some of the foliage broke loose from the branches and fell to the pavement, twirling in the air as they descended towards the road. The multicolored leaves finally rested on the pavement only to be stirred up by our vehicle as we passed over them, the gust of wind sending the foliage flittering across the road.
The surroundings became more and more beautiful as you needed your destination, which only got you and Namjoon more excited.

The campsite was beautiful and so spacious. Each spot was sectioned off and gave everyone their own area to set up. You and Namjoon chose which spot you wanted and parked the car.
You stepped out of the vehicle, stretching your legs and taking in a deep breath, inhaling the fresh aroma of nature. It was a refreshing and much-needed change from the busy city.

"The air here is so much fresher." Namjoon commented aloud.
"I was just thinking the same thing."
"Should we get started setting everything up?"
"Yeah. It wouldn't be a bad idea. We can get everything set up and then go explore."
"Sounds great." Namjoon grinned brightly, hurrying over to the trunk of the car, to retrieve the box that held our tent.
"I'm gonna go find some sticks for the fire." You told Namjoon.
"Alright. Don't go too far."
"I won't."

Namjoon grunted as he fought to set up the tent. He just couldn't understand why it was so difficult. It looked easy on tv.
"How do you even do this?" He whined.
"Did you read the instructions?" You asked, placing an armful of sticks on the ground where the fire would be.
"Yes. Like ten times." He responded, exasperated.
You immediately dropped what you were doing to assist your struggling boyfriend.
"No." He stopped you. "I got this."
"No, you don't got this. You clearly need some assistance."
"Fine." He yielded, allowing you to step in and help out.
You read over the instructions and helped Namjoon do what the directions said, taking it one step at a time. The difficult part was getting the poles in place and staked to the ground, but, with a lot of hard word, the two of you managed to get it set up.

"Finally." You sighed.
"That was so much harder than I thought it would be."
"Yeah, it was. At least it's done. Now we can go exploring."
"I saw they have bike rentals. Why don't we go get bikes and ride on the trails for a little while?"
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go."
You and Namjoon went to bike area and paid to rent a couple of them for 30 minutes.
"This is what I've been looking forward to the most." Namjoon stated, his bright, dimpled smile making yet another appearance.
"I can't wait to take in the scenery." You added as you pushed the bike towards the start of the trail.
"Me either. I bet it's stunning."

The both of you reached a sign marking the start of the trail. The both of you got on your bikes and began riding down the trail, the fresh woodsy air brushing past you, your feet pushing on the pedals as you proceeded down the dirt path.
The landscape was painted with variations of autumnal colors, tall evergreens towering above, casting shadows on the leaf-strewn bike trail and providing a nice shade for you and Namjoon. Deciduous trees surrounding the path shed their foliage at unpredictable times, decorating the forest floor with their harvest hues.

After a lovely bike ride with your boyfriend, you decided to settle down for the evening.
Back at camp, you had started the fire and watched the sunset with Namjoon while enjoying some delicious s'mores, homemade apple cider, and hot cocoa.
Namjoon took a big bite from his sweet treat, gooey marshmallow residue stuck to his lips along with little bits of melted chocolate as he chewed, his cheeks round and full like that of chipmunk.
A strained chuckle left you as you tried (and failed) to hold it back.
"What?" Namjoon asked.
"You've got something." You gestured all around your mouth.
"Oh." He giggled, taking a napkin and wiping his lips. "Better?"
"Much better."

Nighttime settled over the campsite. The dark blanket that covered the sky was speckled with a myriad of sparkling spots, giving some light to the otherwise inky space above. The fire was long extinguished and your mess of chocolate bar wrappers and bags of marshmallows had been cleaned up.
You and Namjoon laid quietly inside your shared tent, enjoying the various sounds of nature surrounding you. You couldn't help but feel grateful that the two of you purchased a larger tent. You love Namjoon, but you would have hated to be inside a cramped, little tent with him—or anyone for that matter. The one the two of you were using was a two to four person tent which was perfect for the both of you. Not only did you have space for your bags and other belongings, but you had room to stretch out and sleep comfortably. However, that extra space was not being used, not at the moment, anyway. You and Namjoon were cuddled closely together with your head resting on his chest and his arms wrapped around your frame.
You took in a deep breath, letting it out slowly, feeling your body relaxing.
"You know, the natural sounds outside are almost like nighttime music." Namjoon commented. "It's kind of lulling me to sleep."
"Me too." You murmured, drowsiness already taking over.
"Hey." He whispered.
You barely lifted your head, glancing up at him.
Namjoon leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to your lips, partially catching you off guard in your drowsy state.
"I just wanted to give you a goodnight kiss."
You smiled softly. "Goodnight, Joon."
"Goodnight, lovely."
