Chapter 14 : Silence and The Ocean

The cold breeze of the wind makes my hair float in the air as I look outside the window car.

I know my hair is going to get tangled later on but I just want to enjoy the wind. "If we used my convertible car, you wouldn't be hanging your head on the window like a dog in the movies." Jimin brags while he drives my car and he's annoying.

"Don't make me kick you out of my own car." I snickered.

"Don't make me crash this crap." I withdraw from my position and face him, he has this annoying smile on his face again. "My car is probably better." He presses.

"This car is a gift from my parents so you better watch your mouth," I warn and his lips released a low chuckle.

"Mine is a bribe." His voice is audible but the playful smile on his face is now replaced with a sad one.

"What do you mean?" I ask but he just shrugs. I don't want to inquire more about his statement because he doesn't seem to want a conversation about it.

The wind keeps getting cooler as we go by the road, and my eyes immediately notice a sea, we're heading to the beach. Dockweiler is one of the closest beaches here in our place, but I haven't visited it for years. We usually go to Santa Monica because it has the most famous beach here.

After a thirty-minute drive, we finally arrive and I jumped out of the car first and looked at the area, there are no children playing around the sand and building sandcastles. No old men are sitting around with their huge bellies and there's no one wearing a bathing suit around.

There's just no one around the beach.

It says closed.

That's why barriers are blocking the entrance of the beach.

I heard the car door close and look back at Jimin. "It's close you dumbass." I roll my eyes and plans to go back inside the car when Jimin surprisingly pulls me by the arm and led the way.

The moment we arrived in front of the barriers we stopped and just a few seconds Jimin climbed over it and jumped to the other side. "What are you doing? This is trespassing!" I said through gritted teeth as I roam my eyes around to see if anyone is looking at us.

"No one commits trespassing at broad daylight." He reasoned out, but that doesn't prove a point. My parents will be really disappointed if they pick me up at the police station later.

"I don't know Jimin. Let's just go back." I said and turn my feet to return to my car and drive back home.

"Are you really leaving me alone here?" He yells and I ignore him, he better follow me here and goes back home. I don't want to get myself involved in some turbulence.

I hear the sound of keys being shaken and I turn around to see Jimin holding my car keys out in the air. "If you want to walk and go home, that's fine with me." He twitches his shoulders and then opens his arms wide as if he's welcoming me to go back and trespass at a close beach.

I sighed and admit my defeat. When I reached the barriers he lends a helping hand for me to climb easier. "Thanks," I said when I enter the other side. "You're bailing me out of jail if we get caught." He laughs genuinely and it's the first time that I see him laugh like this. His eyes disappear for a little while and I find him really attractive, it's like I'm enchanted.

"How can I bail you if we both get caught?" He asks.

"It's your problem, not mine." I counterattack and he just smiles.

We are walking on the sand for a few minutes already and my feet are starting to get hurt. The sun is blazing hot and if not because of the strong wind multiple beads of sweat are already forming on the side of my face.
