epilogue

Two months later.

Chan had finished packing up as he began to head down from his apartment. He stood outside on the pavement, waiting for Minho to pick him up. Soon enough, a car pulls over to his side, and the window is rolled down.

Minho smiles at him, and Jisung is seated beside him, sipping on some coffee as he waves at Chan. Changbin us seated right behind them, busy on his phone.

"Open the boot, Min," Chan asked. Minho does so and steps out of the car to give him a hand.

Chan looks at the huge number of bags. "Don't you think that's a lot for three days?"

Minho laughed. "Don't look at me. Only one of them is mine. The rest are Jisung's hoodies and Changbin's dumbbells."

"Right," Chan doesn't argue and places his bag in, and the two get back into the car as they drive off.

Jisung is given the responsibility to play music, and to no one's surprise, he plays all of their songs. 3Racha's whole discography.

"Jisung, as much as I love our music, please stop," Chan pleaded. "It's pretentious."

Jisung huffed. "Our music is fire. It's perfect for the journey."

Minho sighed. "This is nothing. I have to hear all of this twenty-four seven back at home."

"You love it," Jisung teased, placing his head on Minho's shoulder as he played with Minho's free hand.

"No," Minho replied, turning his head to the side to place a kiss onto Jisung's hair. "I love you."

Chan looked at Changbin in disgust. Changbin just shrugged and whispered. "They've been at it since I got into the car."

Chan nodded but smiled nevertheless. He loved the fact that they had each other to love and card for. Chan had never seen Jisung this happy before, and he's known the guy for at least eight years.

"Where's the rest of the guys?" Changbin asked, finally putting his phone aside.

Minho spoke up. "Seungmin and Jeongin said that they'd be coming on their own. Apparently, Jeongin wanted to drive them there."

Jisung continued. "Hyunjin and Lix are already at the cabin. They went a little ahead of us to set everything up."

Chan smiled. "There's no need for that. We could've all just gone together."

"Well, they're the ones that invited us," Jisung said. "Lix insisted on treating us like guests, and you know Hyunjin. He can never say no to him."

"Yeah, we know," Changbin laughed.

"How long is the drive?" Chan asked.

"Two hours," Minho replied. Chan decided to just take a nap to pass the time away. Jisung finally changed the playlist. Changbin decided to keep Minho entertained by making conversation.
