Just a Kiss Goodnight
Behind the Mask [Bangtan]“Do you want to go make a s’more?” Jungkook asked, leaning towards Zhen and whispering against her ear. She giggled and pulled away from him, nodding. “What? Did that tickle?” He asked, leaning back towards her. She tried pushing him away, but he grabbed her around the waist and pressed his lips to her ear.
She laughed loudly, pushing away from him until she fell off the stump Suga had dragged in front of his tent. Jungkook and Jimin had parked their tent beside Suga and Jin’s, and since Suga and Jin had been saddled with clean up, and Jimin had joined Mallory, V, Rap Monster, and J-Hope at the campfire, Jungkook and Zhen had been left alone to sit and talk by themselves.
Jungkook stood and helped Zhen off, helping her brush off her clothes. “Do you?”
“Yeah,” She said, taking his hand and leading him towards the enormous bonfire the managers had built off to the side of where all the tents were set up. It was enormous, very wide and burning high. Already it had started to get dark out, and everyone was eating marshmallows and singing loudly as one of the sunbae’s played guitar.
Jungkook spotted the others and led Zhen towards them. J-Hope stood and took Zhen’s hand, showing her to where he had just sat, and he grabbed Jimin and Jungkook, and the three stood just in front of their group. “Let’s dance!” J-Hope shouted, as the sunbae started playing Mr. Mr., at J-Hope’s request.
Mallory and Zhen were in a fit of laughter before the serious dancing even started. “Your boyfriend is such a dork.” Mallory teased, pushing Zhen’s shoulder.
Zhen laughed. “At least mine will dance.”
“Hey! I don’t even have one, so there,” Mallory said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Zhen shrugged. “Maybe not, but it won’t be long now.” She said, pointing across the way to where Suga and Jin were making their way towards the group. Mallory’s smile dropped instantly. They still weren’t talking, it seemed, but Zhen was convinced it could be made better before the camping was through. “Hey! How was washing the dishes.”
“Exhausting,” Jin groaned, sitting on the ground in front of the girls. “I get that everyone used paper plates and all, but man, were those pots crusted over.” He smiled. “But hey, it sounds like it’s going to rain for the next few days, so there’s a chance we’re going home early.”
Mallory shook her head. “You’re such a buzzkill Jin. Everyone else is having fun and you're rooting for the rain.”
Jin nodded. “You know it. Gimme the marshmallows.”
Zhen watched as Jungkook and J-Hope joking danced, but Jimin watched Mallory with a plain expression. As she watched Jimin, hands grabbed hers, and J-Hope and Jungkook pulled her to her feet. “Dance with us!” J-Hope laughed, twirling Zhen around and then tossing her towards Jungkook, who caught her and smiled. “Teach her Mini Skirt!” J-Hope said, clapping his hands.
Zhen laughed and shook her head. “I can’t dance.”
“Sure you can,” Jungkook murmured. “I’ll teach you.”
Mallory sat awkwardly with Rap Monster, Suga, and Jin. She held a box of graham crackers in her hands, but she put it down and stood. She stepped over the log she and Rap Monster were sitting on and started towards her tent.
“Mallory!” Jimin called, running to her side. “Hey, is everything okay?”
Mallory nodded. “Yeah, I just wanted to go get my flannel.” She had taken it off her waist while she and Zhen were sitting in the tent earlier. “Its getting kind of chilly.”
Jimin nodded. “Do you want to go for that walk now?”
Mallory smiled. “Sure.”
“Okay. I’ll, uh, meet you over there,” He pointed towards a break in the trees. “When you’re ready, okay?” Mallory nodded and continued towards her tent, while Jimin walked towards the part in
