Just Let Me Love You | A Park Jimin Fanfic

Chapter 20 - The Beach

The dense pine forest lining Naksan's coastline rippled in the early morning breeze. Yun Hae lifted her face to the sun, letting the warmth envelope her.

Sand in her toes, hair blowing in the wind, she breathed the fresh sea breeze and hugged herself tightly. So this is what a vacation feels like.

In the distance, Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung stood watching her silently. Jungkook took out his camera and started shooting. Yun Hae turned just in time and smiled at them. "Perfect!" Jungkook exclaimed. "Got it," he said, referring to the shot. Jimin and Taehyung crowded around Jungkook curious.

"She's beautiful," Jimin whispered. He took a mental note to ask Jungkook for a copy of the photo later. He would frame it, he decided, in one of those glass frames you can take anywhere so regardless where work took them, he would always have something of Yun Hae.

"Are you in love?" Taehyung asked although he already knew the answer. Jimin smiled at him and nodded. "I think I'm falling for her." 

Taetae smiled broadly, "I'm so happy for you, bro. We like her and I don't think we've seen this side of you before."

"Have you told her yet, hyung?" asked Jungkook, fiddling with the settings on his camera. He now pointed it at Taehyung and Jimin.

"Soon. I'm just waiting for the right time." Jimin said. "We've only known each other for a month but I just can't get enough of her, you know?" He ran his fingers through his hair. "I can't seem to control myself when she's around."

"Yaaah! Don't try anything while we're all together!" Taehyung panicked, punching Jimin playfully. Jimin punched him back and soon Jungkook joined in on the scuffle, their laughter ringing in the almost deserted beach.

Yun Hae turned to see Jimin clowning around with Taehyung and Jungkook. Just last night, that sexy, powerful man made love to her in ways unimaginable it made her flush just thinking about it and now here he was playing around with Tae and Jungkook like a little kid, a goofy look plastered on his face.

The duality of Park Jimin was very, very real.

"Why don't we just all go?" J-Hope reasoned out. Jin was planning a trip to the nearby market and grocery store to shop for ingredients. When the boys knew Yun Hae was coming, they wanted to tag along as well.

"We can't because we don't want to unnecessarily call attention to ourselves," RM said. He was okay staying at the beach house, listening to Drake.

"I think I should go," Jimin volunteered. "If hyung is going, I'm going," said Jungkook. "Me, too." Taehyung was already changing into his rubber shoes.

Suga groaned, "By the time we make a decision, the market will have run out of fresh catch."

Yun Hae raised her hand and handed Jin the grocery list. "Okay, I'm not going anymore. The list is pretty exhaustive and I hope they have everything in stock. If you have trouble finding a substitute ingredient, call me."

"That's why you should go with us," Jin pointed out. Yun Hae looked at him, exasperated. She motioned to the rest of the boys and shrugged. "It would be more efficient if you came, we can make changes to the recipe on the spot," he added.

"Since we can't make a decision, I'm going to play the noona card," Yun Hae decided. She knew Jin had a point. "I'm taking the hyungs. Jin, Suga and J-Hope, let's go."

"What about me?" Jimin wailed. He walked up to Yun Hae pouting. Yun Hae patted his cheeks and said sweetly, "You'll manage, 우리 강아지 (uri gangji)."
