"you didn't think i'd take you to busan without bringing you to the beach did you?" he twirled around with his arms open.

she giggled as he took a big breath of fresh air, "i love the smell of the ocean, i've missed it so much." he walked along the edge of the water.

jungkook began the usual: picture taking. jia had been to many beaches before but none of them compared to this one. the water was a beautiful crystal clear blue. the sand was incredibly light and soft, her feet glided so smoothly on it; it's almost as if she was levitating. she had the biggest urge to saunter barefoot across the sand and jump into the water. if it wasn't so cold she would've done just that.. she couldn't explain why but she felt so relaxed.

jungkook plopped down on the sand, jia copied his actions. she stared at the orangey pink sky in amazement. "wow.."

the boy chuckled, "i know.. don't you just want to jump in?"

"mm, everything is so beautiful" she replied earning a nod of approval.

jungkook was the first to lay back on the sand, his head in his palms. he closed his eyes and sighed. she laid down next to him and took in the gorgeous sky above her.

"so.. how do you like my city?"

"i've only seen a small portion of it.. but from what i've seen it's breathtaking." jungkook smiled at her words.

she turned on her side, propped up on her elbow, "i definitely have to take hansol here one day.. he'd love it." she drew a small heart in the sand with her finger.

his eyes opened and he watched her draw in the sand, "why bring him up right now?" he messed her sand heart up with his fingers.

"why do you hate him?" she asked with a frown.

"because."

"because why?"

"because he's ugly."

she rolled her eyes and suppressed the giggle that wanted to escape. "you're mean."

"so i've been told." he smirked as he closed his eyes again.

she poked his elbow, "hey, don't fall asleep.. aren't we supposed to go back to the train station soon?"

"relax i won't fall asleep, i'm just closing my eyes."

"what time does the train leave?"

"i don't know 7:30 i think." he answered, eyes still glued shut.

she pulled her phone out of her back pocket, 8:06. jia immediately sat up, eye's widened, "jungkook! get up!"

"what?" he groaned as he sat up slowly, "what is it?"

"check the ticket!"

"why?" he sighed. she took it upon herself to fish them out of his coat pocket. she read it over carefully.

from: busan
to: seoul
train departure: 7:30 pm

"we missed the train!"

"don't worry i'll just call the train station and get tickets for the next train." he dialed the stations number and was immediately connected.

jia threw her head back in frustration. she stood up began pacing back and forth as he spoke on the phone.

"well what'd they say?" she asked as he hung up.

"okay don't get mad."

"why?" just that sentence alone made her angry.

"the next train leaves at 9:00..."

"thank god-"
"in the morning." he added.
"what?!" she shouted.

"don't worry there's a bus station nearby, the lady said the next bus leaves at 8:15!"

"how long is the bus ride?"

"only like.. 6 hours.."

"jungkook!!"

luckily they made it to the bus station with a couple minutes to spare. the bus would be there soon and jiadaye was out of breath from all the running. her legs were throbbing. she was sure she wouldn't be able to go another ten minutes standing, she felt woozy. she knelt down and massaged her legs. thankfully the bus would be there any minute and she'd be able to sit comfortably.

the bus was packed. she separated from the boy in search for a seat. her eyes wandered the bus desperately for one but they were all taken. she sighed and found jungkook, of course he managed to snag the last seat. she huffed in annoyance and held onto the grab handle in front of him.

"do your legs still hurt?"

she ignored him.

"jiadaye."

"they're fine", she lied to shut him up.

"ya know there's a seat still open."

"where?"

"right here." he smirked as he pat his lap.

"no."

"suit yourself, it's going to be a long six hours."

she rolled her eyes with a scoff.

an unbelievably long twenty minutes passed and jiadaye's legs and feet were burning. she was beginning to feel light headed.

"just sit already."

"no."

not even five minutes pass before one of her legs gives out on her and she has to rebalance herself. she unsteadily repositioned herself, balancing all of her weight on the opposite leg.

jungkook grew tired of watching the girl torture herself. he groaned before wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her onto his lap. "jeon jungkook!" she whisper shouted, "what are you doing!? people are staring!"

"relax it's not like we're making out", he held her tight and rested his head on her back.

"let go", she huffed.

"god stop being so stubborn", his voice vibrated on her back, "you're tired and weak, just shut up and rest will you?"

within a matter of minutes she was sound asleep in his arms. jungkook peeked over her shoulder to check if she was sleeping, he smiled and leaned back as far as he could in order for her to get comfortable. whilst asleep, she twisted to the side and unconsciously nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck seeking warmth.
