Prettiest Lie - A Taekook Love Story.

15 - Some Personal Time For Us All.

"A retreat?!"

Taehyung can hundred percent relate with Jungkook's surprised tone. When Min Yoongi asked him, Jungkook and Sana to come for a little talk, he never would have guessed it to be for something like this.

"Yes, a retreat. A small vacation if you prefer." Min replied in a calm voice. "We are a bit ahead of schedule right now. If we cram up the library scene and HanSang meeting Areum's uncle scene into one day and then if Tae can give me one additional day, we should be able to clear up 3 days from the shooting schedule. What do you guys think? Sana already agreed."

Taehyung and Jungkook shared a subtle look between them. A retreat does sound nice. They never got a chance to have vacations like that. Being together in a public place was impossible to explain to the watchful eyes that always followed them.

Jungkook was the first one to nod his head in agreement and Taehyung gave a soft smile too. 

"Wonderful!! So, where do you guys wanna go? Beach? Mountain hiking? Or a nice hotel to relax? Hmm?"

"Beach!"

"Camping in a forest!"

Both Jungkook and Taehyung answered at the same time, the sound of their combined voices were loud enough to gather the attention of few of the nearby crew members. 

"Ooookey.." Yoongi said in an enthusiastic voice while Taehyung and Jungkook looked away in shyness. "I'll see how we can arrange it."

After discussing some more, Yoongi went away to get ready for the day's shoot. Taehyung looked at Sana who had been rather silent all this time. 

"Are you excited for this?"

"Yeah." Sana looked up at him with a shy smile. "It's actually my idea."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I thought we could use some time together, not just shooting. You know, some bonding time."

Taehyung was the only one who saw Sana looking at Jungkook with a small smile. The girl had a certain shyness and a faint eagerness in her eyes and it wasn't that hard for Taehyung to understand the reason. 

It made Taehyung feel that spark of annoyance again. He had been dreading the moment Sana started to act upon her hidden crush for Jungkook. It's one thing for someone to have an interest in Jungkook, Taehyung was sure that half the country does it. But he can't help but feel a little territorial in this particular situation because Sana was not just a fangirl.

Taehyung knew he was the only one who had a hold on Jungkook's heart so he had no reason to feel threatened.. A single mention about the girl's intentions to Jungkook and he will reject her in a heartbeat. But the thing is, Taehyung didn't want to do that. For whatever the stupid reason, he doesn't want Jungkook to be clued in.

Jungkook, on the other hand, was drowning in his usual jealousy and irritation. He was sure that Sana made this plan to get closer to Taehyung. And that dampened the excited mood he had earlier.

Everything was ready for the trip. Most of the cast were there, except for a few who had prior engagements on the scheduled dates. And apart from the crew members, there were few other people present too. Such as Jimin and Hoseok. As it turned out, Yoongi had personally invited them. 

The location was a remote island. Yoongi had taken both Taehyung's and Jungkook's suggestions, and booked a place with a beach and a forest to camp out. 

They arrived early in the morning, most of the ride was by road and the last part was by boat. Yoongi had given the planning responsibility to two of the crew members, and regretted it as soon as they set foot on the island. The duo, Soobin and Yeonjun, had taken it very seriously when Yoongi said he needed the trip to be fun.
