best of me

In which Jungkook and Jimin reunite after many, long years.

27,000 words.

This ones mine once again, I wrote this in a quick haze. This is just a short, sweet one, practically entirely fluffy once you get past a little bit of angst. Enjoy!

Jungkook cleaned the front desk slowly and delicately. He enjoyed this part of his job; it was calm, he could hear the slight crash of water if he was quiet enough, and the wind that came in through the windows was enough to cool him down from the labor.

His aunts' inn was always nice; sometimes a little stormy, but nothing Jungkook wasn't used to. In fact, he enjoyed the weather. He liked when it rained, when it was sunny, when it stormed, when it was foggy, and when it was cold. He loved it here, really.

It was lovely.

Just...a little lonely.

He worked at his aunts' inn, right on the beach. It wasn't particularly busy in spring, but it would be when it became summer. The family business was nice, and Jungkook was happy to work here instead of going to a college he never wanted to go to.

He moved to clean the floor, sweeping and seeing if it needed to be scrubbed today.

He heard his aunt come down the stairs. "Jungkook!~ I'm heading out now, you'll be fine on your own? We've only got a couple guests at the moment, you'll be fine?" She went down and brushed Jungkook's hair out of his face, tsk'ing. "You should really put your hair up if you're going to be working."

He smiled. "I'll be alright. I've worked here long enough to know how to work here." He laughed a little when he saw her concern. "Really, go have fun with uncle. You haven't seen him in a while. You'll be gone for?..."

"Mm, a month or so. He's doing better you know. And please, don't be afraid to call or text, I'll come home if you need me to, I'll be-"

"Auntie, please." Jungkook laughed and hugged her, dropping the broom he was using. "Go have fun with him, I'm sorry I can't go with you."

"Aw...you're too sweet, you know that?" She kissed his cheek.

"Let me help you get your bags in the car." Jungkook let go of her and smiled, taking the luggage she took down to their car. "Tell uncle I said hi and I love him, okay? He hasn't seen you in forever so it's important you have to go to him okay? He misses you." Jungkook put her bags in the trunk.

"Okay Jungkook. Thank you, really. You've been so good to me, I love you. Maybe you should visit your parents soon..."

Jungkook shook his head with a smile. "You two have always been more kind to me than they have been. So go on, I'll be fine."

"Fine. Fine. Sorry I'm taking the car."

"Don't worry! I can walk everywhere I need to go." Jungkook smiled more as she got in the car. He leaned down in her window, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Please have fun. Don't think or worry about me too much, I know how to run the inn."

She sighed with a smile. "Fine. I'll go have fun. Seriously though, call me if you need me."

"Of course." Jungkook smiled. "Have fun!" He backed up and let her drive off, waving goodbye while she did.

Jungkook watched her go before going back inside, sweeping once again.

There were only a couple of people still checked into the inn, the beginning of spring being one of their lowest times of business due to school schedules, so Jungkook wasn't too worried for his workload.
