"How's Taehyung doing?"

"He's better than he was a week ago. He even managed to get some sleep the past few nights."

"That's good." Jungkook kicked a rock as they walked. When he'd gone home after helping to comfort Taehyung, Jimin hadn't been able to talk much. He'd spent the past week doing school from home so he could spend time with Taehyung, trying to get the heartbroken boy to at least eat. Jimin had finally determined that Taehyung could be left alone so he had time for himself. Currently, he was spending that time with Jungkook.

"I'm sorry I didn't help more."

Jungkook felt a hand fall on his forearm and turned to see a reassuring look on Jimin's face. "You helped plenty, bringing over food. Thank you for that, by the way."

"I still could've done more."

Jimin gently swatted him. "Take the thanks. You were helpful."

Jungkook chuckled. "You're welcome, then."

The two walked in silence for a few more minutes. They passed by buildings and walked through a park, eventually making their way to a little restaurant nearby. They walked in and were led to a table. Jungkook picked up one of the menus they were delivered, skimming through the numerous options.

"Have you been here before?"

"Nope."

Jimin's eyes were locked on his menu, too. "Me neither. The food sounds good, though."

"Yeah, it does."

A waiter came over, his nametag reading "Bobby". "Hi there, what can I get you all today?"

"Could I get a plate of japchae and a glass of water please?"

Bobby nodded, turning to Jimin. "And for you?"

"I'll take the same thing, please."

"Alright, that will be out soon."

"Thank you, sir."

Bobby left and Jungkook decided to let his eyes wander the restaurant. There were several tables scattered around the center of the area, booths - like the one they were sitting in - lining two of the four walls. One of the corners had a waterfall inset into the wall.

"How's school been going?"

Jimin shrugged. "Pretty good. We have this stupid assignment, though, we have to create a dance video. I get the 'dance' part but not the video part. I'm in dance school, not film school!"

Jungkook chuckled. "You seem frustrated."

"Filming is not my forte."

"Maybe I could help."

Jimin's eyebrows shot up. "Really?"

Jungkook shrugged. "I am in film school, after all. Maybe we'll get some future assignment I could use it for."

A smile spread across Jimin's face. "That's... thank you! When can we do it?"

Jungkook hummed, reaching into the backpack at his feet. He felt around, hand brushing against the cold object he was looking for. He pulled the camera out, waving it around. "I've got my supplies. As soon as you have the dance choreographed, we can record it."

Jimin's eyes widened. "You just... carry a camera around?"

"A camera and a blanket."

Jimin chuckled. "Well then. I've already choreographed the dance, too."

"Cool. Where do you want to film?"

"I'm not sure. I was thinking somewhere natural?"

Jungkook nodded, eyes wandering out the window next to them. He thought back to their walk to the restaurant, the park they'd passed. "Would the park work?"
