'I want Jungkook to be my partner.'

Multiple reactions to that simple statement could be heard from everywhere. Jimin opened his mouth, and kept it open for a few seconds, before closing it again. Hoseok snorted, but managed to pass it off as a cough.

"Mr Jeon? But-" Soobin looked back and forth at the two with little confused eyes. "Are you sure, Mr Kim? Wouldn't it be better to pair up with someone you know well? Maybe Mr Park?"

Taehyung gave a soft laugh at that. "Yes, it would be good to pair up with a well acquainted person. But this game is more about understanding the style."

"Style?"

"Yep. When Jungkook was having his turn, I realised that his style is almost the same as mine. So, in theory, I should be able to guess how his mind works."

It was evident that both Soobin and Yeonjun were still skeptical about it but the proposal regarding the free Jet ski rides seemed too good to pass.

"Oh.. I suppose we will see, Mr Kim. Good luck."

Everyone was excited for the rematch. And as expected, the current winners did a wonderful job. They managed to get 14 correct answers within the 2 minutes timeline.

When Jungkook stood up to take his turn, Taehyung gave a reassuring nod, and the former had to put some effort to stop himself from rolling his eyes. Of course they got this. It'll be a piece of cake for them. The difficult part may be to not look overly successful to the point of suspicion.

Taehyung sat on the chair facing Jungkook while Soobin stood behind him with the boards.

"Ready when you are, Mr Jeon."

Jungkook took a deep breath and gave a confident nod.

At the sound of Yeonjun's excited 'start!', Soobin revealed the first name.

Jungkook made a gesture of a short distance with his thumb and forefinger, and then touched his hair with both hands.

"IT!!"

Jungkook held up 3 fingers, making Taehyung quickly respond. "Okay, 3 words."

Then Jungkook knelt on the sand on one leg and pretended to sing.

"The wedding singer!!"

Jungkook squatted and held both of his hands over his face in a cylinder shape. Taehyung raised his eyebrows a bit in a questioning manner. Jungkook thought for a mere second before getting up and cheered silently with both his hands stretched towards the sky.

Taehyung chuckled. "King Rob. I mean, The Minions."

Jungkook gave a relieved smile for a second before focusing on the next one.

Jungkook held something in front of his face and pretended like he's reading something, all the while slowly swirling with sort of an airy grace. It took less than one second for Taehyung to guess.

"Beauty and the beast!!

The next board made Jungkook let out a snort. He chuckled a bit before making a show of slow dancing, and switching to silently howling in the next second. He looked like a proper goofball and everyone had to let out giggles or chuckles. Taehyung was no exception.

"Not the way one might describe that movie but it's Dancing with wolves."

Soobin turned the other board but the timer in Yeonjun's hand went off, confirming that the two minutes were over. He looked at Soobin with a questioning gaze as the latter seemed to have his mouth slightly parted with shock after counting the boards on the successful attempts side.
