[Haewon Beach, 8:10 p.m.]

Jimin reached the Haewon Beach, after running and brisk walking for a short while. He looked around, trying to find Yoojung along the shore. It wasn't long before he spotted a small figure sitting on the beach, facing the dark sea landscape. He smiled and ran towards Yoojung.

Jimin: Yoojung-ah!
Yoojung turned around to see Jimin running towards her. She grinned as she stood up, waving at Jimin from a distance.
Yoojung: Jimin-oppa!
Jimin finally reached Yoojung and immediately, he pulled her into an embrace.
Jimin: I've been really wanting to do this.
Yoojung giggled.
Yoojung: What are you even saying... Last night-
Jimin: Shh!
He leaned forward and whispered into Yoojung's ear.
Jimin: We weren't supposed to hug until today!
Yoojung smiled.
Yoojung: I bet everyone knew.
Jimin: Still! We need to cooperate with the producers. Oh, I guess they'll cut this part out anyway.
Yoojung wrapped her arms around Jimin.
Yoojung: Ah, I feel energised now.
Jimin smiled and pulled back finally, after a good few minutes. He sat down and patted the patch of sand right next to him, motioning for Yoojung to sit down as well. She did as told and slipped her hand into Jimin's as she sat down. 
Yoojung: It's finally over.
Jimin chuckled.
Jimin: Sure is. It sure was a roller coaster of a ride.
Yoojung: For me!
Jimin raised his eyebrows.
Yoojung: Do you still remember the drunk episode?
Jimin laughed.
Jimin: Obviously, I do. Oh gosh, I regret it so much. I really hope they edit the scene out.
Yoojung cackled evilly.
Yoojung: I doubt they will, oppa. It will bring up their viewership ratings if they leave it in. And perhaps, maybe viewers might find you manly in that scene.
Jimin drooped his head.
Jimin: I highly doubt so.
Yoojung reached over and lifted Jimin's head up from his chin. She smiled when he glanced over at her.
Yoojung: Keep your head up high, oppa!
Jimin beamed at her.
Yoojung: Ah... I feel like lying down and looking at the stars. But it would be a big dirty, wouldn't it?
Jimin laughed.
Jimin: No, it wouldn't.
He lay down on the sand and stretched an arm out and smiled at Yoojung.
Jimin: Like that, you won't dirty your hair.
Yoojung beamed.

Yoojung: I mean, I still probably will, but whatever.
She lay down on Jimin's arm and the both of them stared into the night sky.
Jimin: Speaking of the incident earlier, you know I was jealous of you and Jungkook, right?
Yoojung laughed.
Yoojung: Wasn't it pretty obvious?
Jimin: Don't you think I had a reason to though? I feel like Jungkook had feelings for you at some point.
Yoojung shrugged.
Yoojung: Maybe.
Jimin hesitated for a while before continuing.
Jimin: Then, did you have feelings for him at some point?
Yoojung laughed.
Yoojung: It doesn't really matter, does it? I still chose you in the end.
But Jimin was really serious.
Jimin: To me, it matters - a lot.
Yoojung thought for a while.
Yoojung: Nah. Oppa was the only one for me.
Jimin: Why the hesitation?
Yoojung: I admit my heart fluttered because of Jungkook-oppa a few times... but whose heart won't feel the same way if you're treated that kindly by a handsome oppa?!
Jimin's eyes widened. He turned and stared at Yoojung, his eyes wide open.
Jimin: Handsome... oppa?!
Yoojung laughed.
Yoojung: Are you being jealous again, right now?
Jimin: No, but... tell me, who's more handsome - Jungkook or me?
Yoojung laughed.
Yoojung: I don't really think this is necessary, is it?
Jimin: Choi Yoojung, I'm being the most serious I've ever been right now.
Yoojung: You sure? You know how the saying goes, "the truth always hurts". 
Jimin caught the hint and he clutched his heart with his free hand dramatically. Yoojung laughed hysterically.
Jimin: Ouch... that hurt.
Yoojung: Sorry, oppa.
Jimin: Wait, you're being serious, right?
Yoojung: Honestly, Jimin-oppa is really handsome also but objectively speaking, Jungkook-oppa is slightly more, you know... and Seokjin-oppa-
Jimin looked like he was wounded a second time as he clutched his heart again dramatically.
Jimin: Now, even Seokjin-hyung...
Yoojung laughed.
Yoojung: Alright, fine... Jimin-oppa is the most-
Jimin: Forget it, leave me and go look for your Jungkook-oppa instead.
Yoojung laughed.

Yoojung: Oppa-ya...
She inched closer to Jimin, till her head was now resting on his muscular shoulder.
Jimin: That's enough.
Jimin was pretending to be upset, but some part of the pretension was true.
Yoojung: But oppa, you know, looks aren't everything. If I asked you, who was the prettiest amongst the girls, you would have chosen someone else too, wouldn't you! Suran-unnie... or Jieun-unnie...
Jimin: No! I would have chosen you.
Yoojung laughed.
Yoojung: Don't lie. Love is making you blind. But if you think really objectively, it wouldn't be me. Also, you asked me who was the most handsome - not who was the kindest, most charming, most adorable, sweetest or the person I like the most! If you had asked that, I would have said it was you for all the categories I mentioned. 
Jimin tried not to smile, but he failed. He beamed and leant down, kissing Yoojung on the top of her head.
Jimin: I like you the most too. Not amongst the girls in the house, but amongst everyone in the entire world.
Jimin couldn't see in the dark night, but Yoojung grinned contentedly,  closing her eyes and snuggling up close to Jimin. Jimin's hand automatically wrapped around her shoulder.
Yoojung: I like you, oppa - a lot.
Jimin didn't reply immediately. But when he did, the words really sank in.
Jimin: I love you.

- The End -
