Kibum : In Too Deep 1

Requested by thatgranitegirl

It was one of those rare times where Kibum didn't have anything to worry about. He could kick back and just relax. He would've wanted to stay and sleep all day.

Instead, Minho came up with the genius idea to go to the beach. Which was fine. It was just... ugh, Kibum didn't want to put into words. He was just tired.

But the entire group (except him) had rallied behind Minho's idea. So Kibum was heading to the beach.

-------

He had to be honest, he did find himself cheering up during the drive. Jonghyun was fast asleep on his shoulder so he couldn't move much, but he could hear Taemin chattering away to Minho in the front. Thank the heavens Minho was a bit quieter as he drove.

Jinki was quiet too. Kibum made a mental note to make him talk more during the beach trip.

"Jinki hyung," Taemin said right then, as if he was answering Kibum's thoughts. "What do you think of Minho's new hair colour?"

Kibum heard Jinki shuffle around. "It's good."

"See, it's just you making everything weird," Minho said. "Everyone else says it's fine."

Kibum bit his lips. He so badly wanted to give his opinion but Jonghyun's sleep mattered more. He sighed.

"He's awake, you know Kibum?" Jinki asked. "He's blinking."

"Ugh!"

Jonghyun sat up with a start. Jinki stifled a laugh.

"You blew my cover," Jonghyun said.

"I know."

Kibum shook his head, sighing.

"He was actually quiet thanks to you," Minho said. "We owe you, hyung."

"I know," Jonghyun said.

"The disrespect," Kibum huffed.

Jinki and Taemin laughed, Jonghyun joining in.

"Hyung, stay awake. We're nearly there," Taemin said. "How much longer?"

"Ten more minutes," Minho said.

"Almost there," Jinki said.

Kibum nodded. He rested his head on Jonghyun's shoulder, who laughed.

"Now he's going to keep you quiet," Jinki said. "What a good day."

Kibum smiled into Jonghyun's shirt. Secretly, he was happy.

-------

True to Minho's word, they pulled into the beach ten minutes later. He was annoyingly accurate. Kibum sighed as he got out of the car. He was already in his beach clothes. He hated changing in the beach's change rooms. They always creeped him out.

He helped unload the car. They had brought a bunch of towels and a few boxes of food. Kibum had also brought a little bag, where he could keep his stash of sunscreen.

"Hyung, hurry up!"

"I'm coming," he called to Taemin.

It really wasn't that heavy, but the hot sun pounded down on him and it made him feel lethargic. Kibum huffed, feeling his old grumpiness run through him again. Why did Minho have to suggest something like this?

The others had already picked out a spot near the waves. There were plastic chairs installed. Taemin and Jonghyun were already messing around with them. Kibum sighed.
