In Front Of You - Jikook

-nine-

"Jungkookie! Calm down!" Jimin shouted happily as he tried to chase the younger male. Jungkook laughed loudly in reply, oblivious of anything else other than the warm sand in his feet and the incoming wave towards the shore. He forcefully pulled up his jeans and he ran to the sea. When he was near, he slowed down and let the white bubbly waters pass his legs then pulling back to where it came from. The refreshing coolness of the water added more to his excitement. Growing unconcerned, he walked to the deeper part, allowing the clear aqua swallow his legs inch by inch.

Jungkook turned around "Jimin-hyung! You need to come here!". At the abrupt moment, a sudden click of his camera could be heard clearly and the male behind it looked away from the lens, smiling playfully at him. "Jimin-hyung!" The younger's mouth gaped open, completely shocked and hurriedly walked back to the dry sand but the other backs away along with his steps. Jimin chuckled "You were enjoying the sea too much. Don't get your camera wet.." and snapped another photo. Jungkook fully was out of the water and started running towards his hyung. Of course, both of them are lively fellows, Jimin continued teasing the other as he faced the camera to the other as he was being chased.

The scene would be hilarious to the other people on the beach, two young spirited boys running and fooling around. The grey-haired running backwards as he takes mindless shots of the brunette boy running towards him.The hot sunlight reflected on their hair, shining brightly and catching attention from the crowd at Busan Beach. Their laughs drowning in the wind and their footsteps marking in the sand in the summer day.

Jungkook finally caught up to his quick hyung, lunging in full force and forcing them two to fall on the sand. "My baby! My camera!" Jungkook yelled and stood up to get the camera out of his hyung's hands. Jimin groaned "Ahh...", the younger noticed the pain look on Jimin's face. "Oh God! Hyung I'm sorry." He reached his hand down to the other and the older male took it, but a cheeky smirked formed and with harsh force, Jimin pulled him down again with him. The younger yelp and down he goes again. They grew limp, feeling the comfortable heat of the brown sand, and lazily chuckled. They both rolled to face each other and continued laughing.

"Ah Jimin-hyung, you got sand in our clothes!" Jungkook complained, but he didn't mean it seriously. In reality, it's been a long time since he went to a beach and he's having the best time. Jimin laughed beside him and ruffled his chestnut hair "You're such a kid Kookie~". The younger was the first on who sat upright, following was his hyung. They didn't realize that they were still holding hands until Jungkook felt a gentle grip on him. "Let's go," Jimin said, retreating his hand and walked towards the benches near the beach.

Dusting off the sand on him, he silently faced his camera towards the back of his friend and clicked.

Jimin peacefully watched the other male take multiple photos of the sea and the crowd. He was in his zone once again, a way that made him powerful and passionate. The older could see the glimmer of joy in Jungkook's eyes as checked his pictures and smiled at the result. "Thank you." He could hear the younger say to the family, his subjects in the photo. The younger kneeled and faced the camera towards a group of friends playing in the sea, Jimin could tell that he was enjoying this so much. The distance between them wasn't that big but Jungkook glowed in the middle of the crowd. In Jimin's eyes, he always stood out.

A cool breeze passed him again and the grey-haired sighed in contentment. His gaze separated from the other male and he looked up at the clear blue skies of this summer day. No cloud in sight and the sun was gleaming, it was more than peaceful. Engulfed in the blissful moment, he closed his eyes and observed everything - the smell of the crisp atmosphere, the sounds of the waves coming, the laughter and the seagulls, the feeling of the cool breeze against his skin along with the heat of the sun above.

Jungkook rose up from his position and started walking to where Jimin is. There he is, his head facing the skies and his eyes shut, looking all absorbed in his own world. Jungkook stopped near the male and the feeling of longing itched him to face the camera towards him one more time.

"Jimin-hyung." The cheerful voice caused him to open his eyes instantly. Jimin looked up at the towering frame of the younger and smiled up at him. His height covered the blinding sun, this made Jimin fully looked up at his eyes. The glimmer was still there and his bunny-like smile evident. Jungkook playfully placed the camera above Jimin and took a photo, the cheeky grin growing bigger. "Yah, delete that Jungkookie." Jimin chuckled beneath him but wasn't too fazed as he closed his eyes once more.

Jungkook sat down beside him on the wooden bench, the two drinks and the brown bag was untouched so the photographer curiously peered in. "Food!" He screamed gratefully, scanning its contents. There was enough for both of them, two chicken sandwiches and two pieces of brownie individually wrapped with plastic. Jungkook took the two sandwiches and gave Jimin his own share but Jimin leaned back the bench lazily, not taking his food.The brunette pouted and said "Hyung, you have to eat." but Jimin ignored him, a small smirk on his lips. He was teasing him, Jungkook knew. Unwrapping his own food, Jungkook took a selfishly big bite and stared at his hyung. One eye slightly peaked at him and the younger took another big. "Jungkook-ah~" Jimin whined childishly and the younger can't help but roll his eyes. He took a small section out of his sandwich and offered him to the older. Jimin didn't give any sign of movement except for his breathing so Jungkook huffed and neared the food to Jimin's face. The older smiled then parted his lips. A gentle blush rose up as his hyung took the food and smiled thankfully at him. Both of them shared the food with each other like that, Jungkook shyly feeding the childish Jimin and honestly, they were satisfied to be in that moment.

They just spent the whole day chatting and playing around. Jungkook took more photos and Jimin just admired from afar. The day was fun and the two males enjoyed everything about it. The trill in their veins didn't go waste and time passed, but their overjoyed laughter didn't.

When the sun descended down and the cold winds of the upcoming night blew. The grey-haired walked the brunette to a familiar street. Their quiet chatter was inaudible in the street full of people but they didn't mind. Their tracks ended in front a small house, plain but homely. "Would you like to come in, Jimin-hyung?" Jungkook offered but Jimin politely declined. Jimin said "Maybe next time Jungkook. I'll see you next time. Have a good night.". The younger smiled warmly, just like how the sun was at the beach, giving Jimin a sense of contentment "Thank you for today. Good night." and turned to head to his front door.

Jimin walked away, hands in his pockets. He walked towards the cafe that he loved. It supposedly closed but lights shone from the inside, which could possibly draw in confusion. However, it was empty as he was near enough to see the whole place. The neon sign of Heavenly Cream was turned off and the sign on the front door clearly said 'closed'. He recognized two figure sitting in one of the front tables, seemingly waiting for someone, for him. It was Jin and Hoseok, his two closest friends. He was physically there, smilingly at the two when he entered but he wasn't thinking about them. His mind was somewhere else, along with his heart.

Jimin just couldn't take his mind off the slightly tanned skin, his shining brunette hair, the hearty laughs, his cheeky grin and the warm gaze of the other. And he wasn't sure if he wanted to forget about it.
