Trails
Always UnsuspectingSeokjin was up early loading the trunk of his car. Taehyung was helping, walking back and forth from a small pile of supplies sitting on the ground and bringing them over to the car and handing them to Seokjin. Jimin was standing off to the side spectating, muttering something about the caves and how he and Taehyung used to camp out and chase each other down the trails when they were little.
Jungkook peeked out the window from the top floor of the castle, he slipped his jacket on as he flew down the stairs to the foyer, zipping it up once he reached the bottom. He pushed the doors to the outside open and promenaded out, making sure to eye Seokjin the whole time. The elder stopped for a second to stare at him and then continued his work, pretending Jungkook wasn't there.
"Sleeping in?" Jimin teased as the younger stopped next to him.
"Sure," Jungkook grimaced, not taking his eyes off Seokjin.
Taehyung strode over, his face scrunched up in curiosity, "Seokjin said you weren't coming?"
"I'm coming." Jungkook assured him, "I don't care what the he says."
"Something happen between you two?" Taehyung asked, picking up the last backpack from the ground.
"Don't really wanna talk about it," Jungkook declared and glared over at Seokjin once again, the elder shut the trunk and then turned to them.
"Ready?" He asked Taehyung, ignoring Jungkook.
"I'm confused," Taehyung stated, looking from Jungkook to Seokjin, then back to Jungkook.
"Just get in the car," Seokjin whined. He trudged around the car and opened the driver's side door, about to climb in.
"You're really gonna pretend like I don't exist?" Jungkook questioned.
Seokjin glowered at him, his eyebrow raised, he shook his head in disbelief, he wasn't even going to give the younger the satisfaction of an answer. He got in the car and started it up. Taehyung was in shock, his mouth agape, brought back to reality at the beep of Seokjin's horn. He gawked at Jungkook, shrugging apologetically as he hurried over to the car. Jungkook watched as Seokjin backed up, and then skidded out; a stream of exhaust jetted out of the back of the car as he headed down the long driveway.
Jungkook ran over to the motorcycles parked on the side of the house, there was no way Seokjin was leaving him behind. He jumped on the sport bike, throwing on a helmet, then started it up. It was only the third time he had driven the thing so he was a little nervous, he accidentally stalled it out...twice. Concentrate ! He started it up a third time, revved the engine a bit and then peeled out, almost wiping out as he ran up on the grass. He swerved around the curb and gunned it down to the gate.
Seokjin glanced in the rearview mirror, doing a double take... Jungkook was approaching fast, "This mother er."
Taehyung peered over his shoulder out the back window, "What is he doing?"
"Being a little ," Seokjin threw it into 5th gear and stepped on the gas.
Nyooom! It was like a speedway mid race at the grand prix. Jungkook hit the throttle and caught up to them in a flash. Seokjin swerved around several cars trying to lose him and the younger narrowly missed hitting the back of a slow-moving truck who decided to slam on his breaks when Seokjin manuevered in front of him.
"He's not gonna take the hint..." Seokjin floored it and Taehyung grabbed his armrest as the acceleration plastered his body to the seat. He leaned over to read the speedometer... 120 mph.
"Holy Seokjin, slow down," Taehyung gasped as he looked out at Jungkook, then back to the elder, "You're gonna get him killed."
Seokjin sighed and slowed down, pulling off onto the side of the road and screeching to a stop. Jungkook pulled up behind him and turned off the motor, swatting away the dust that the two vehicles kicked up. He removed his helmet as Seokjin tromped over to him.
"What the are you doing?" Seokjin yelled in a huff.
"You can't stop me from coming," Jungkook was smug.
"I can shoot your ," Seokjin was aggravated, about ready to wipe the smirk off the younger's face.
"Yeah, try it." Jungkook got off the motorcycle and stood face to face with Seokjin, jaw clenched.
"Go home, Jungkook," Seokjin ordered, two seconds away from dropping him.
"No," Jungkook held his ground, balling up his fists.
Seokjin swiftly pulled out his gun and cocked it, then aimed it at Jungkook's head, his arm trembling with anger, "Go home."
"You're going to kill me?" Jungkook growled, "ing do it."
Taehyung clambered out of the car in a hurry and sprinted over to Seokjin, grabbing his arm and pulling it down, "What the hell are you doing?"
Seokjin closed his eyes and uncocked the gun, he turned to glare at Taehyung jaw clenched, agitated that he interfered.
"You two need to work out whatever the hell is going on, like right ing now," Taehyung advised. "Seriously," He rolled his eyes and tromped back to the car, mumbling about spending his time with two es.
Seokjin looked at Jungkook, eyebrows raised. They stared at each other for a few moments.
"I'm not going to apologize for coming out here," Jungkook broke the silence.
"Can we just keep our minds on the objective here? I can't deal with your hissy fits right now," Seokjin professed.
"Hissy fit? I told you I felt like I failed-"
"And then you basically told me to off," Seokjin interrupted, "I don't want to deal with you right now, so just go back home."
"You're such an insensitive prick sometimes," Jungkook responded.
"Yup." Seokjin agreed.
"Do you even care how I feel?" Jungkook was near tears, but he refused to cry.
Seokjin sensed the younger's turmoil, he felt bad for a moment and he knew he shouldn't be acting this way, but being rejected by Jungkook caused him to feel the sort of psychological pain that can gut a person, igniting a burning wretchedness in his very core.
"Just go home." He sighed and turned to walk back towards the car.
"I take back what I said before, I ing hate you." Jungkook grabbed his helmet
