Into the Deep || BTS AU

Four

Waves crash upon the shore not too far ahead. It took a little while longer than it normally did but he managed to bring the mysterious green-haired human closer to the island. He still has a while to go but it won't be much longer until he reaches the shore. About halfway the human had fallen off the driftwood and by the time Jimin managed to get him above water it had already floated away and would have been more trouble to go get it than it would to just carry the boy.

It took quite a bit more effort than Jimin is used to but he managed and the boy still seems to be breathing. Though by the looks of it some of his wounds have opened up again.

At the moment Jimin is taking a rest at a small rock formation, catching his breath and dunking his head under water to cool himself off. The day seems to be especially hot and he is thankful he lives underwater and not in this heat. Though the sun is nice and Jimin does enjoy sitting and relaxing out of the water.

While he rests he takes his time and thinks out his next move. He isn't quite sure what he's going to do yet, or what the consequences of his actions will be. Bringing a human onto the island is taboo and strictly against the rules. He knows better, but something in him is telling him to help the stranded boy.

He hopes that his friends will find him and help him figure out what to do. Jin always has a plan and he hopes that his long-time friend will understand his desire to help the boy.

Just as Jimin starts to pick the boy up a head pops up beside him, startling him, "TAE!"

Jimin's eyes widen and his heart skips a beat. "Don't sneak up on me like that." Jimin calms himself down, running a hand through his hair before looking at his friend.

Taehyung has a look of shock on his face. It didn't take long to find Jimin, but he didn't expect his friend to have company.

"Who is your friend Jiminnie?" Taehyung slips his gaze from the unconscious human boy to his blond best friend.

"Well," Jimin avoids Taehyung's gaze as he keeps a firm hold on the injured boy. "I'm not quite sure, I found him floating on a piece of driftwood just as I was going to meet you and Jin. I couldn't just leave him there so I thought I would at least take him somewhere safe."

Jimin gives Tae a hesitant, almost pleading smile. "Though I'm not quite sure where to take him, and he is harder to swim with than I thought."

"This must be the friend that the other two humans Jin and I found were worried about." Jimin gasps at the information.

"There are more?" Jimin smiles at the thought, finding it a little odd that he is not as scared as he thought he would be in this kind of situation, but he quickly pushes that thought to the back of his mind. Instead thinks about how he finds this whole ordeal exciting and new. He can't remember the last time he felt this way.

Some light waves splash against the rock formation almost dragging the human away but both Jimin and Taehyung are quick to grab a hold of him.

"Yeah, Jin is dealing with them, he sent me to find you." Taehyung smiles, he can feel his excitement growing. He really wants to talk to the humans, and hear about where they're from and what stories they hold. "He is taking them to Hoseok. We should probably do the same."

They know it is quite a far swim, and that Jin will make it there long before they do but with the two of them they know that it will be easier to swim the boy there.

"They all look pretty injured, he looks worse than the other two though." Taehyung looks at the boy's injuries, making sure he won't hurt him too much when they carry him. "I think they said that his name is Yoongi, but I'm not sure if this is him or not."

Jimin whispers Yoongi's name, liking the way it sounds. He looks at the boy's face and is sure that it is his name. In some strange way, Jimin knows it suits him.

"Before we go through, "Taehyung looks at Jimin, "That noise, the roar. Any ideas? Jin and I have no clue and I know you like all the old stories and legends. I thought you might have an idea of what it was." A look of worry passes over both boys' faces.

"Sorry Tae, I have no clue, but since we are going to Hobi's place we can ask him. He knows almost everything. If he doesn't know then maybe someone else on land will."

They share a knowing look. They know that it's a long shot that their good friend will know what is going on and it is more likely that others, not as friendly, will know more but they have to hold on to some kind of hope.

"Alright, one problem at a time. First things first let's get our new friend here to safety. His friends will be happy to see him." Taehyung claps his hands and together they start to lift the boy. They both lift one of his arms around their shoulders and start to swim, making sure his head stays above water as they swim backwards.

"So, what's your name?" Jungkook gave up paddling a little while ago, the man pulling them barely out of breath but Jungkook felt like his arms were about to fall off. He was wrong, this guy is an amazing swimmer. He was getting bored of the silence and decided to get to know their saviour a bit more, thankful that he finally sees that they are getting closer to the island.

"My name is Jin." Namjoon has been staring at him since he made an appearance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed by Jin.

"Oh, well, I'm Jungkook and this is Namjoon." Jin looks over his shoulder giving them a small smile. "May I ask what you are doing swimming all the way out there?"

"I grew up around here, I swim every day so I can go out pretty far without a problem."

"So are you like a competitive swimmer or something?"

"'Or something' sounds about right." Jin lets out a chuckle and beside Jungkook, Namjoon lets out a quiet giggle which baffles him. Namjoon giggled. He is convinced the sun has given either one or both of them heat stroke.

"Would you look at that, we are already here." Jin slows down and both Jungkook and Namjoon look up. Poking out from the trees is a huge wooden house with bridges connecting to different buildings high up in the thick bright green trees. Huge glass windows reflect the sun on a few of the buildings lighting up the area and making the home look that more beautiful. From what they can see, zip lines and ropes, along with latter's and stares zig-zag from the ground to the trees making what can only be described as the coolest and most badass tree fort ever.

Both of their jaws drop, whoever lived in this home has to be the luckiest person on the planet. That person however happens to be standing on the beach, waiting for their arrival.
