I yelled in triumph and ran after him. He was taller than me and alot faster. But he wasn't looking where he was going and tripped. I didn't have time to stop and ended up falling on top of him. We looked at each other in surprise. You know those moments where you find yourself looking at a certain person and it just feels right. This qualified as one of those moments. After a brief and extremely awkward silence,I quickly picked myself up,turned around and continued walking towards the market. He just as quickly did the same. We kept to ourselves until we got to the market. After a quick discussion about what we needed to buy, we went our seperate ways. He was in charge of the meat and rice while I took on the veggies, fruits and everything else in between. I was almost done when I accidentally, and very violently, bumped into someone. Fruits,veggies and pastries went flying everywhere. We both exclaimed in surprise. When I opened my eyes, I was sitting on the muddy floor of the market holding a watermelon. You should imagine my dilemma. I looked up to find Seokjin looking down at me with a concerned look on his face. I handed him the watermelon which he quickly took and embraced, then whispered to it,"It's okay. Everything's gonna be alright." And slowly walked away. I must have hit my head pretty hard. I got up,gathered my scattered groceries and followed Seokjin back to the cottage. As we walked up to the house, Karla suddenly came bursting out the door laughing, quickly followed by a very haggard looking Taehyung. At the exact moment before he crashed into me,a single thought ran through my mind. "Here we go again." "Oompf!" Both Karla and Seokjin stopped in their tracks at the sound of our collision. Once again, both cooked and uncooked food went flying everywhere. I threw my hands up in frustration and shouted,"I give up." The three just started laughing and gathered up the food that had fallen. I simply lay in the dirt. I turned to look at Seokjin and found him with Karla, their hands locked on the same onion. I don't know why, but I quickly looked away. I got up and dusted myself off. That's when I realized,Taehyung was nowhere in sight. But as I turned around I saw movement in the bushes on the side of the cottage. I walked closer to take a look and nearly screamed when Taehyung suddenly popped up out of the brush with leaves and twigs in his mop of dark brown hair. "I found it!" he said in triumph, and held up his left hand to show me a bruised tomato. I couldn't help myself and burst out laughing. Taehyung being Taehyung, shrugged and laughed along with a goofy look on his face. I took the tomato, grabbed his arm and walked back towards Seokjin and Karla arms locked as if we had known each other forever. I quickly unlocked myself from him when I saw the look of anger - or was it annoyance - on Karla's usually calm face. I flashed a quick smile and went inside. I found out later on that Taehyung had been chasing Karla around coz she had pranked him while he was sleeping. No wonder he looked like that. And no wonder she was mad when I took his attention away from her. Oh well. That night, Paul and Namjoon volunteered to cook dinner. We waited in terror as horrific sounds started coming from the kitchen. To take their minds off dinner, Yoongi and Berry decided to play digital airhockey on Yoongi's phone. I couldn't help but notice the invisible air bullets Rox was sending Berry's way with her eyes. On the other side of the table, Karla, Jam, Hoseok and Taehyung were absorbed in a game of cards. While Christine and Jimin were sitting on the sofa in the living room with their heads together exchanging life stories. They're probably already really close. Meanne and Jungkook were pretty much nowhere to be found. Seokjin was also missing in action. It didn't escape my attention that every few minutes or so, Jam would get up to peek in to the kitchen. I wasn't sure if she was checking on dinner or on Namjoon but I felt it was most likely the latter. As the time of our death via food poisoning drew closer, Namjoon ordered us to tell the others to take their seats at the table. I was listening to music so I didn't hear. When I finally looked up from my phone everyone was already seated. Well, except for Namjoon and Paul who were probably still busy planning how they would get rid of our bodies after dinner. And Seokjin wasn't there yet either. I removed my headset and put it aside with my phone. Hoseok suddenly called out my name and sort of ordered me to go look for Seokjin. I slowly got up and stretched then went to look for him to drag his to dinner. Except I couldn't find him anywhere. After 5 minutes of searching to no avail, I made my way back to the dining room, only to find Seokjin already sitting at the table. I grumbled a complaint and quickly took my seat, making as much noise as possible. Amazingly, nobody died, passed out or threw up during dinner, and it actually tasted pretty good. When everyone was done, Namjoon started clearing away the plates. Jam jumped at the chance to help him. We could hear them laughing in the kitchen as they prepared dessert. Thankfully, we would only be having chocolate ice-cream with choco syrup on top. I decided to eat mine outside on the patio swing. Taehyung apparently had the same idea. So we ended up sharing the swing. To my surprise, we actually had a lot in common, except for him being an idol and all. Our ice-cream was finished and we were in the middle of talking about dolphins when Seokjin came out and told Taehyung that Jungkook was looking for him. We put our conversation on hold and he went inside to look for the maknae. Seokjin took his place beside me and we stared up at the stars. "So, what did Jungkook want with Taehyung?" I asked, just to break the uneasy silence. "Oh. I just made that up to get rid of him," he replied and smiled cheekily. I chuckled and went back to staring at the stars. To tell you the truth,I was taken aback by what he had said. I just didn't want to make it obvious so that he wouldn't get the wrong idea. I must have been pretty absorbed with my thoughts cause after a while, I heard a soft snore beside me. I turned to find Seokjin asleep and drooling a little. I decided not to wake him and instead listen to music on my phone. I must have fallen asleep too cause the next thing I know Taehyung was shaking me awake by the ears and half whispering "Noonaaaaa, time to go inside." I started and stretched. Seokjin had once again disappeared. We went back inside and I decided to go straight to bed. The following morning, it was every man for himself. Breakfast was quick and simple. Then everbody went off in groups. Meanne, Jungkook, Rox, Yoongi and Berry went to the gazebo out back to hang. Karla, Jam, Hoseok, Namjoon and Paul decided to play video games in the living room. Meanwhile Chris, Jimin and Taehyung started a game of badminton in the frontyard. Seokjin was on the swing once more listening to music and writing in a green notebook. I decided to just chill in the girls bedroom. Lunch rolled around and we decided to have barbeque. The boys set up the grill outside while the girls prepared the food. I guess we enjoyed ourselves too much cause lunch soon turned to dinner and nobody had showered yet. We decided to go in when the mosquitos decided to come out. The order in which we would shower was decided with rock-paper-scissors. It went as follows. Rox, Paul, Jam, Yoongi, Chris, Jimin, Taehyung, Namjoon, Berry, Hoseok, Meanne, Jungkook, me, and Seokjin. After our respective baths, Paul and Hoseok decided to start a game of poker in the dining room, while everyone else tucked in for the night. It felt good to go to sleep tired but clean. I was half asleep when I was suddenly awoken by a loud thud at the foot of my bed. I sat up and grabbed my cellphone, turned it on and aimed the light at whatever had made the noise. I found Rox sitting on the floor cradling her injured leg which had hit the corner of the bed frame. She looked up at me teary eyed. I helped her up as quickly as my still half asleep body could go. She held onto me as we walked over to her's and Meanne's bunk bed. To my surprise, Meanne wasn't there, or anywhere in the room as a matter of fact. Rox let out a long and frustrated sigh. "What's wrong?" I asked as she sat down onto the bed. She patted the empty space beside her for me to sit. I took it unwillingly, since I was still very sleepy, and asked her what was wrong again. Another sigh. "Okay. I was getting ready to fall asleep when I suddenly felt thirsty. So I decided to get a glass of water from the kitchen. I didn't think anyone alse was awake cos all the lights were already out. I was walking back here when I heard voices coming from the bathroom. The door was ajar so I took a peek." She bowed her head and began to giggle quietly. I looked at her curiously and asked her to keep going. "Well, I saw Meanne. I thought she was alone at first. But then another voice starts to speak. I could recognize that voice anywhere. It was Jungkook. I backed away from the door, but I couldn't help it. I peeked again. Jungkook had Meanne pinned against the wall with his head resting on her shoulder. They looked like they were fighting. Meanne started to say something but she didn't get to finish. Jungkook kissed her before she could. Then she kissed him back. I didn't want to get caught, so I ran." Rox let out a sigh. I laughed at that, "I kind of figured something was going on." She giggled in glee for our friend and gave a huge yawn. When she had fallen asleep, I crawled back into my bed, hoping that the next day would be kinder to us. The next thing I know, I'm being very violently shaken awake by Paul, who had an indescribable look on his face. "What?" I asked and jumped out of bed. "There's no electrity," he said. My mind went full on scribbles. Why would he wake me up to tell me something like this so early in the oohh... It was already afternoon. I had slept in. The time on the wall clock read 3:00pm. "How long have I been asleep?" I asked rhetorically. "I don't know. What I do know is that we have no electricity, and without electricity, we will die!" Paul said to no one in particular. I laughed - my brother is just so weird sometimes - then made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. After changing, I grabbed a quick snack in the kitchen then went out back to see what was wrong with the fuse box. Chris was already there working on it. She looked up as I walked over to her. "Well, it's definitely not the fuse box. There's just no electricity coming this way. Maybe a post got knocked over or something," she explained. I took a quick look at the fuse box then asked Chris if she could come with me to town to get an electrician on the job. She agreed and we started walking townward. The closest electrician we found was at another job, but he agreed to come check it out before dark. As we were walking back to the cottage, the sky started to rumble. We got back just as it started to rain. And as the afternoon turned to evening then to night, the rain got stronger. Fortunately, there were no leaks in the house. Unfortunately, we had no electricity. Taehyung and Karla had managed to find some candles and kerosene lamps so we had plenty of light. There was still running water and the fridge and pantry were fully stocked. I assumed it would be alright. That is until Yoongi looked out the window and pointed something out to Berry and Rox. Their screams echoed throughout the house, which sent us all running to the living room. Berry was sitting on the couch in tears while Rox sat in the armchair hugging her legs with a dazed expression on her face. Yoongi was standing by the window. He looked paler than usual. When Seokjin approched him, he collapsed onto his knees and said, "We saw him. He's out there." And as he said this, a flash of lightning suddenly illuminated what was outside the window. It sent chills up all our spines. It was a man. He was standing a short distance from the house, just along the edge of the bushes. It was fine until we noticed the axe in his left hand. He suddenly lifted it and started waving it at us. Jam screamed so loud it shook the building. Everyone else panicked in their own way. Paul grabbed me in a tight embrace with his face buried in my hair. Chris collapsed onto the floor just like Yoongi and tears began to fall from her eys. Karla and Taehyung were on the couch beside Berry holding hands, their knuckles going white from tension. Meanne hugged Rox to keep calm while Jungkook stood beside her with his back facing the window, stunned.
