strawberries & cigarettes ; yoonmin

Jimin pulls his blazer as high up onto his head as he can to block the rain, he personally doesn't mind getting wet but Grandma Park doesn't appreciate it much.

"Hey uh-!" A voice calls out to his direction. He looks over to Yoongi whose leaning against a red 1967 chevy camaro. "Jimin want a ride?" Jimin watches as the older toss his bag into the trunk and making his way to the drivers seat.

Jimin lowers his blazer and nods his head slowly.

Yoongi doesn't really seem like a bad kid.

"This is an old car" Jimin smiles as he runs his fingertips over the doorhandle "how have you managed to keep it looking so nice?"

"It's not that nice on the inside" Yoongi chuckles as he gets in the drivers side. As soon as Jimin joins him and buckles himself in he realizes that Yoongi is now gonna know where he lives.

Shoot, what if this guy really is a murder?!

The interior of the car snaps him out of his thoughts as he eyes all the wrappers around him. All of the same candy. The car smells a mixture of strawberry candy and smoke.

"Ah I should really pick up in here" Yoongi flashes an apoplectic smile "you want one?". Jimin hesitates before nodding. He jumps back as Yoongi leans over to the glove box and opens it, he takes one out and hands it to Jimin before shutting the glove box.

Little rain drops begin to decorate the windshield as Yoongi pulls forward and out of protection of the pavilion. Jimin picks at the wrapper before finally sticking the candy in his mouth assuming it's safe to eat.

He plays with the wrapper as Yoongi switches in between radio stations.

"Which way do you live" Yoongi asks as they approach the exit of the parking lot.

"Turn right" Jimin instructs and Yoongi listens. The car falls into a comfortable silence as the rain pings against the roof of the car as they accelerate.

Jimin can't help but giggle as Yoongi speeds through town and takes the turns way too fast. It's dangerous yes, but new to Jimin. He's never experienced something as simple as this before.

"Oh you have to turn left up by the post office" Jimin points towards the post office 80ft or so in front of them. Yoongi eases the gas and takes the turn sharp enough to drift causing Jimin to burst into a fit of giggles. What Jimin doesn't see is Yoongi's big smirk.

"-it's that light blue one on the right" Jimin finally manages out as his laughter subsides.

Yoongi pulls off onto the side of the road and leans over to hold the door handle. "You're very different from anyone I've ever met before Park Jimin".

Jimin blinks cluelessly "huh?"

Yoongi shakes his head before opening the passenger door. "If you ever want a smoke I'm here!" He shouts at Jimin who's running to his front porch. Jimin turns back.

"I will!"

****

Jimin blinks at the rain still pouring down from the sky. He wonders if the atmosphere ever gets tired or feels weak. His eyes shift to the almost sunset which decorates the clouds in pretty shades of pink, purple, and orange.

He lazily takes a sip of his green tea before leaning back against his seat. Grandma Park wasn't in the mood to watch the sunset with him, which is sad.

"It's gods prettiest creation" Jimin mutters to no body in particular.

He listens to the steady flow of traffic and the sound of water puddles splashing as cars pass by. It's calming when some stereos are turned up loud because a brief second you can hear the music.

Jimin finds other people's taste in music interesting, even when he doesn't like a genre. Their reasoning is always fun to listen to and Jimin likes looking through others perspective.

"Jimin!" A voice from the road catches his attention.

"Yah Taehyung its late!" Jimin frowns at his friend hanging out of Hoseoks passenger window in order to catch his attention.

"Hop in the back! We're going to watch the sunset at-" Jungkook starts but has no need to finish as Jimin jumps up from his seat.

Jimin didn't even need to hear the rest of the sentence to know exactly where the groups headed. On pretty days like this one the four of them gather in Hoseoks old blue 1982 chevy Silverado to go up on the highest mountain in the small town to watch the sunset by a bonfire.

The rain begins to quit as he runs off his porch and jumps into the bed of the wet truck. The rainwater glistens off the paint job. Hoseoks truck is older and is rusting in a few spots, but it's what he was given and use it he shall.

Jimin giggles as he grips on the side of the truck so he doesn't go hurtling towards the street as he crouches down. Hoseok doesn't speed off or drive over the speed limit, he doesn't hit the turns too fast or give Jimin the same excitement he had when Yoongi was driving.

Shoot he still hasn't told them about detention yet, the sky distracted him again.

*****

Jimin jumps out of the bed after Hoseok puts the truck in park. He watches as Taehyung and Hoseok get out. Jungkook shoves Taehyung to go faster which causes Taehyung to freeze and take more time on purpose.

"Hyung" Jungkook whines before shoving the older out of the vehicle. Jimin smirks at how strong Jungkook is becoming.

"Okay no need to manhandle me" Taehyung fake kicks Jungkook causing Hoseok and Jimin to burst out into laughter. The four all gather around the brush from their past fires.

"Hurry it's almost sunset" Taehyung whines at Jungkook who is attempting to light the fire. Jimin rolls his eyes as he leans back in his lawn chair.

He isn't exactly sure what he'd be doing right now without his friends and the sky. Probably shut away in his room studying or reading the Bible. Or maybe asleep since what else is there to do.

A smile climbs it's way to his lips at the thought of how grateful he is for his simple life, even if it at times it can be sorta bland.

"So how was detention Jimin?" Hoseok asks causing the group of boys to hush in wonder.

Jimin shrugs "boring as usual".

"What about Yoongi? Did he hurt you?!" Taehyungs eyes widen.

"No!" Jimin says maybe a little too defensively causing him to get looks from the three boys "-he gave me a ride home actually".

"Holy shit" Taehyung slurs causing Jimin to give him an angry look "- I mean uh well darn".

"Did he actually hyung" Jungkook blinks slightly confused "he seems aggressive, you sure he didn't hurt you?"

Jimin just laughs causing the three boys to still gives looks of concern. "You guys- you guys really are idiots" he mutters resting his head in his hand "running your opinions off of other opinions and stereotypes".

This causes the 3 other boys to shut up.

"Well what else are we suppose to do" Jungkook blinks in confusion.

"Talk to him".
