Another two days have passed and It was night once again, as the moon shined above the boys sitting underneath two separate palm trees, illuminating the ocean more for them to admire. But it was dead silent.

The two haven't spoken much to one another, since Jungkook kept it very simple and short, while Taehyung mostly hesitated and was clouded with thoughts and questions he wish he had answers to.

Jungkook didn't knew what to talk about with the other, and he honestly did not felt like talking, since they both were quite recently just dragged through hell and somehow managed to survive, cuz' it was deemed so or was it just luck?

The raven haired thought it was inappropriate to ask the other how he survived or if he remembered anything, let along ask him how he felt when it happened. And just talking without bringing the topic about the crash is just plain out weird and impossible. They both were pretty much traumatized and just kept their experiences and emotions to themselves. If they had to go through this alive, which Jungkook sadly does not have huge hopes for, they'd have to communicate. But maybe it was not the right time...?

"Are you scared...?"

Jungkook eyes slightly widened at the sudden unexpected question, before he glanced at the other that was busy looking forward at the ocean.

He stayed silent for a minute, not knowing how to answer to that question, but the unresponsiveness made the brunette glance back at him. Hoping for answer, but due to his constant disappointment, he did not get one. So he decided to speak up instead.

"Because I am...it's only us two...no one else...two days have already passed with me just sitting here..."

Jungkook stared at the other hopelessly, he felt kinda guilty for not replying, but those type of questions paralyzed him, as he really did not know how to respond to them.

"Please talk to me...I don't want to think that I'm hallucinating, you're here...right?"

The raved haired felt like an asshole for making the other think that he went crazy, so he sighed and looked away for a minute, not wanting to take in the painful guilt.

"I'm here...", he responded softly.

Taehyung nodded to himself, and did not dare to pry his eyes away from the other. Wanting to understand why he was acting weirdly distant with him. Was he scared or something? Or was it just the recent event that impacted his behavior.
He still remembers the day he accidentally bumped into him. The way the raven haired stared at him at that time did not leave his mind ever since. No one ever looked at him the way Jungkook did that day, and he had a moment where he wanted to ask him if he remembers him from that little awkward encounter they had back at the airport, but he did not dare to do so, as he thought it would just make things more awkward between them then it already was.

"You know...you're not the only one who feels alone...I'm here if you want to talk..."

Jungkook stayed dead silent once again, and this time Taehyung felt like the conversation came to a complete end, since he did not hear a single word come out of the others mouth for almost 5 minutes now. Until-

"You're him..."

Taehyungs eyebrows furrowed, as he did not understand what the other was implying.

"You're the guy that rammed into me at the airport...I didn't knew that you were on the same plane..."

Jungkook spoke in a calm manner.

Taehyung nodded, glad but slightly disappointed that he remembered, since it was embarrassing. Jungkook was more interested in staring at the sand, not wanting to face the brunette so he spoke up instead.
