Swimming Trunks (Kung Jin x M!Reader

Ah. Days off. And what better way to enjoy it than by relaxing at the beach? Even better when friends are around to enjoy it with ya.

And so bring us to our current situation.

Cassie , of course it'd be her, suggested heading over to the beach. Everyone, but (Name) seemed thrilled about the idea. But only Jin noticed. Maybe he was insecure about his body? Nah. No way. The guy was attractive as hell. And he had absoultely no problem showing off his hot bod. Or flirting with everyone he came across. Why couldn't he flirt with him instead? Jin's face turned a faint shade of pink at the idea.

"We could have a bonfire. Like when we were kids!" Jacqui added. Once again, (Name) seemed hesitant, but hummed in agreement along with everyone else. And once more, Jin noticed this. Maybe he just wasn't up to it?

'Ugh. You worry too much.' Jin scolded himself. So maybe, just maybe the bow and arrow user had an itsy bitsy crush on (Name). But just a tiny one, okay?

"Pack up then! Cuz we're going to the beach!"

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"Where's (Name)?" Cassie asked, working her head in every direction. They'd just arrived and decided on starting the day with some good ol' volleyball. But in the water. However, seeing as their numbers were uneven, (Name)'s team would be chosen through a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.

"He's still in the changing room." Takeda replied.

"I guess we can start without him." Cassie hesitated. "We'll just call him over when he's out.

Jin was starting to realize that he was able to sense the mood and refrain from speaking. What was up with that hesitation? Did Cassie...? Panic Mode activated. No. Fucking. Way. Oh God, no. No. No. No. She couldn't! I mean— He— And what if they—? His heart wasn't going to be able to bear it.

Maybe it wasn't an itsy bitsy crush...

"DIbs on the first shot!" Takeda called as he raced towards the water. Shortly followed by the rest.

Kung Jin quietly brewed up a storm of thoughts as he continued on slapping the ball towards one another. What was taking (Name) so long? It's not like they hadn't seen him without a shirt before. Or maybe he was in an accident that left several scars on his body and was ashamed of them? No, that couldn't be it. He had too much pride. Maybe there's a girl he knocked up and lives in a nearby beach house? No, no. (Name) wasn't a man-whore. Jin mentally screeched. Frustrated as to no avail of coming up with a valid answer for his reluctant behavior.

"Hey, (Name)! Over here!" Cassie waved over the man who was currently rocking out (colored) shorts. And oh did Jin notice.

'Look at those thighs.'  He gawked. 'Okay, Jin. Keep your cool. Maybe look sexy as that incoming wave takes you away. Wait wh—'

And much like his thoughts, he, too , was washed away.

It all happened fairly quick. Incoming water. Instant blackout. Death, maybe? Yeah, he was definately dead. I mean, the real (Name) wouldn't be giving him CPR. Mmm. He tastes like mint. Had he eaten candy? Ah, whatever. This was the best way to go down.

"Jin? Jin?"

Kung Jin slowly opened his eyes at the frantic call of his name. Chocolate brown eyes met with worried (e/c) ones. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. He wasn't dead! (Name) actually—! 

"You fucking idiot!" (Name) screeched. "You can't just decide to suddenly want out of life!"

Kung Jin blinked as he propped himself up on his elbows. (Name) no longer appeared worried. But more relieved. ...and wet. And the sunlight wasn't helping either.

"(Name) I—"

"I've always been terrified of water, y'know? But..." A deep blush made way onto (Name)'s features. Woah! That was new. "I'm more terrified of losing you."

Blink.

Blink.

"DId you just—?"

"Yes, I just confessed. I'm gay and I like you."

Well, the sure made things easier for Jin. Because next to you know, he was all over him.
