Later that day
—12:45 p.m.

"Happy birthday, Jungkook."

He smiles at you and nuzzles his nose against your neck.

Everyone in the room groans in disgust.

"Get a room," Yutani says while throwing leftover confetti at you guys.

You chuckle and look around at your friends—your family.

You don't know about your actual mother and father.

What they look like, how they speak, what kind of people they are.

And you never will.

They're your biological family.

But these people sitting in front of you. These people that have been to hell and back with you. These people who love you.

They're your family.

"I love you guys," you sob.

Everyone gathers around you, showering you with hugs and kisses.

After they move away from you, you get up off of the couch.

"Where are you going?" Jungkook asks.

You walk over to the door, putting on your coat and your shoes.

"I'll be back. Don't worry."

You grab your car keys and leave the house, walking to your car.

Once you're inside your car, you start the engine and drive off.

It takes a while but you're finally here.

You get out of your car and sniff the salty ocean water air.

You walk onto the beach, crouching down and feeling the sand.

So much has happened in your life.

From the beginning of your senior year in high school, to your final year in college, to now.

Every once in a while, people need a break.

Just a chance to breathe.

To get away from all the stress, from all the people and just breathe.

For you, your place was the beach.

It was peaceful to just feel the squishy sand beneath you, to look up at the sky, and listening to the waves crash.

Today was one of those days.

You laid down on the sand and closed your eyes.

This was pure euphoria.

No distractions.

No worries.

No fear.

Just happiness.

You stared up at the sky and sighed a peaceful sigh.

As you felt yourself getting tired, you felt someone lay down beside you, laying their head on your shoulder.

You look at them and gasped.

"Kino?"
