Stranded【PJM • BTS】

18: Crybaby

"Harlow?" I walked close to the girls, who whipped their heads in my direction sharply as if they were caught red handed.

"Oh, um, hey Y/N." She looked down at the bottom of the sea and stopped dangling her feet. This is unlike her, I'm worried. What is she doing with Min Seo? Ugh, I bet chopstick brainwashed her or something.

"So..." I awkwardly pronounced and hesitantly sat next to her, receiving glares from chopstick. "What were you girls discussing about?"

"Nothing much." Her voice was the opposite of lively as she shifted in her seat. I definitely missed something.

"Well...it doesn't seem like nothing..." I leaned closer to peer at her face, which was hung low. Harlow sighed and avoided my gaze again. Did I lose my best friend?

"Stop being nosy, and just leave her alone like you should. You would've known when to stop pestering her if you were really her best friend, Y/N." Min Seo snarls and grabs Harlow's hand, helping her up and walking off the docks.

My gaze suddenly fell down to the bottom of the ocean as I tried my best not to break inside. What is going on? She was fine a moment ago, chatting with me in the woods. Is this because of Yoongi? I feel so stuck right now, what did I do wrong? I could feel tears starting to fill up the rim of my eyelids, yearning to be spilled out to the surface of my cheeks.

No, I can't cry. Not yet. I can't show my vulnerable weaknesses. But it's hard, I don't know what's going on and I'm alone here, my only friend turning her back on me for the first time. We've fought before, but never without an explanation.

"Y/N?" A familiar voice cuts in but I didn't bother to turn to see who it was. Jimin sat quietly next to me, respecting the silence and watching the waves silently. It was as if the boy understood my situation and declined further chances to ask questions.

I could hear his steady breath next to me, and it seemed to silence my thoughts. Sitting there, looking down at my feet hanging meters away from the surface of the crashing waves just made my mind blank with my glass-like eyes dull.

It wasn't long before he disrupted the melody of the waves by placing his arm around my shoulder, gently pulling me to lean on his shoulder; which was what my weak frame did. My thoughts started to buzz again, leaving no silence in my head like before.

I faced him for the first time in a while and a weak smile displayed on his face. He cupped my cheeks and looked deep into my iridescent eyes filled with tears. "It's okay to cry, now." He simply said and that's where I fell apart, tears falling into the palms of my hands.

"My older sister passed away when I started middle school and people around me were only there because pity." I managed to explain. "She was the only one who genuinely befriended me for me. But I don't know what I did wrong in the hour."

"I understand," He replied with his gaze glued to the waves. "It was selfish of her to turn her back, but I believe there's a reason to everything. Even if the reason to this is a small mishap about boys, fate will decide about a friendship's end. It might not be even meant to be."

"You're speaking in quotes," I snickered and the feeling of laughing after crying was bizarre. My tear stained, tinted cheeks felt like it had lost it's elasticity.

"Damn right I am, you little crybaby." Jimin ruffled my hair, causing me to scowl.

"You're right, I'm a freaking overdramatic crybaby, crying over my best friend avoiding me for literally a few minutes." I groaned and covered my face in embarrassment.

"No, it's understandable. People who have lost loved ones receive pity instead of comfort and support tend to have problems dealing with changes and trust."

"Are you saying I have trust issues? Thus, I'm supposed to be an overdramatic crybaby?" He shrugged at my questions and got up from the edge of the docks, running far from my reach. "Yah! Are you ditching me here? After I bawled my eyes out vulnerably in front of you?"

"Yeah, I did. I'm jerk, huh?" He laughs and finally runs back into my view, holding a weird brown fruit and a persimmon. "I brought you food, stupid."

"Oh," was all I could say as I eyed the weird looking fruit in his hands.

"I think we might even miraculously survive here for a long time, if you've seen our food supply you'd understand." He said and bites into a persimmon.

"It's hot as the underworld during the day, I'm sure the sun will burn my skin off."

"You won't, because you'll be with me most of the time instead of Hobi Hyung." He smirked.

"No comment," I simply said and grabbed the weird long kiwi- looking fruit. "What is this, by the way?"

"Oh, that. A sapodilla." He glanced at it shortly before continuing to busily devour the persimmon.

I finally joined the rest of the boys back at the shore, and had a few good laughs. I had almost forgotten about Min Seo and Harlow until Jin brought them up.

"Anyone know where they went?" Jin tilts his head in confusion. "Weird, weren't you with them a while ago, Y/N?"

Everyone's attention alters to me, almost causing me to choke on my sapodilla-thingamabob. It's tasty but seriously, Jin? "Um...they walked off who knows where."

"Pfft, then Jimin came along and you guys seemed to talk for quite a while." Yoongi snickered. What a dipstick, this is mainly his fault.

"Yeah, what was even so important to be talking alone in a rural area?" The maknae chimes in childishly teasing.

"You guys are so nosy." Jimin scrunched his nose cutely.

"Oh! They're back," Namjoon points out to the boundary of the woods, where two silhouettes were seen.

I don't really care about what they were talking about. I'm done being immature, crying over small things. I sigh and dismiss myself from the boys, jogging up to the girls. I need to confront them to sort it out before things get childishly messy.
