"Are you still avoiding Yoongi-hyung?" Taehyung scoffed.
"'Yoongi-hyung?' Since when were you on such friendly terms with him," Jimin responded.
"Stop it. Don't be like that, Jimin. You know he didn't mean to force you to swim. He doesn't even know what happened to you. How could he know how you felt?" Taehyung told Jimin.
"Aren't best friends supposed to support each other? Shouldn't you be angry?" Jimin replied in a clipped tone.
"I am angry. He went swimming with you and wanted you to go into the deeper waters. Why wouldn't I be angry? No matter how angry I am though, I don't blame him. He didn't know," Taehyung said.
"I know, okay? I know that it's not his fault." Jimin sighed.
"Why are you avoiding him then?" Taehyung asked.
"I...I'm embarrassed," Jimin admitted.
"Embarrassed?"
"Sure, I'm mad," Jimin started. "But I also feel embarrassed of how I acted. I should've just told him I didn't wanna go out far. I didn't need to run away. I'm embarrassed about that."
"Jimin, are you serious?" Taehyung shook his head disappointedly. "You could've just apologized! Yoongi-hyung probably thinks that you're mad at him!"
"Huh?" Jimin looked at Taehyung worriedly.
"You're the one who ran away from him! He probably thinks that he did something wrong," Taehyung explained. "Will you please go talk to him now?"
"Oh God, oh no, I have to find him quickly," Jimin muttered frantically. "Where is he?"
"Are you serious? We're literally at our workplace where he works. Where do you think he is?" Taehyung answered.
"Right! Thanks, Taehyung-ah!" Jimin grinned, pecking Taehyung's cheek and running down the beach's sandy dunes.
"Yoongi-hyung! Yoongi-hyung!" Jimin called out, waving his arms desperately to catch Yoongi's attention. "Over here!"
"Jimin? What is it? I thought you didn't want to see me," Yoongi mumbled quietly.
"Why would you think that, Yoongi-hyung? We're friends, aren't we?" Jimin beamed.
"You're not mad?"
"Ah, right! I'm sorry about running away from you by the way. It's kinda late to tell you this, but I'm actually really afraid of the deep water," Jimin confessed. "Are we okay?"
"I–yeah, of course we are! I'm glad you're not mad at me, Jimin-ah." Yoongi smiled. Jimin smiled back.
"Do you wanna hang out after work today?" Jimin asked eagerly.
"Today? Ah, I really want to, but...I don't know if I'll be able to. I already have plans with some other friends." Yoongi frowned.
"Oh. I understand," Jimin said.
"Hey, maybe you can come along too! I'm sure that my friends wouldn't mind. What do you think?" Yoongi suggested.
"I...are you sure?" Jimin checked. "I wouldn't want to intrude."
"Don't worry about it. I invited you, didn't I? If you wanna come along, then come. If anyone gives you shit, I'll fight them for you. So do you want to come along then?" Yoongi repeated
"A-Are you sure you want me to come along? I don't want to keep you from your friends–"
"Jimin, it's fine. I see those guys all the time," Yoongi interrupted. "Besides, my friends aren't gonna exclude you or anything. They're good people. You don't have to worry about me, okay? Do you want to join us or not? It's up to you."
"I...Yes please!" Jimin blurted out. He blushed as Yoongi chuckled at his excitement.
"Great! We're going roller-skating. I'll text you the address, okay? See you then." Yoongi grinned and waved goodbye at Jimin before jogging up to the boardwalk.
"Roller-skating?" Jimin mumbled to himself, his eyes widening after a few seconds. "Wait! I don't know how to roller-skate, Yoongi-hyung! Y-Yoongi-hyung! Come back! Wait! Hey!"
