Bo$$ - BTS FanFic *** Completed

Life's a Beach (Pt. 1)

Dez's back was warmed by the sun as she lay on the beach, grateful for the time alone in the sun. Her headphones were pumping her 'Sunday Chill Vibes' playlist and her body was relishing the feel of the heat on her back as well as on her stomach from the warm sand under her towel. She hadn't swam long, not wanting to be tired when she planned to snorkel with Joon and Kookie later, but the mid-morning splash had refreshed her spirits just like it had every day for a week. She stretched her arms out before folding them and placing her head on them again, curling and uncurling her toes and rolling her ankles afterward.

Nassau was literal paradise. Their combined efforts let the group rent a private beach area and a house that looked over it, making sure they had no interruptions during their vacation outside of any emergencies that might come up from headquarters, of which there had been none so far. The sand was pristine and white, and Namjoon had caught at least a dozen different kinds of crabs to show her so far. They had all done the typical tourist stuff like checking out famous pirate attractions, sipping drinks served in coconuts made fresh at the stand, shopping in the little stores and markets. Da-Won and Jimin had gained themselves a little following amongst the locals, with her adorable winking and his flirtatious smiling at everyone who passed.

Dez felt two hands run up the backs of her thighs, squeezing as they reached her butt.

Think of the devil, and he arrives.

Jimin popped one of her headphones off of her ear, replacing it with his lips, "Did you eat yet, Jagiya?"

"I have not," Dez replied, turning her body over as he hovered above her, "Have you?"

"Jin and Kook are cooking brunch," he smiled, "I was told to collect you," he kissed her ear that held his earring. "When we get married, we should come back to this beach and do it here."

"Mmm," Dez agreed, "And then we can jump off that cliff and into the water?"

Jimin creased his brow, "That's a hard pass for me, baby."

"We'll see," was all she replied as hugged him and kissed his neck. "Let's go. If Kookie's cooking, there's bound to be bacon."

Jimin laughed as he pushed himself up to stand, then helped Dez do the same. They left her towel and water bottle, since it was a secluded area anyway, and held hands as they walked to the house. Delicious smells entered Dez's nose, and her stomach growled making her realize how hungry she was.

Da-Won and Jin were having a tickle war in the kitchen, while Jeongguk dodged around them trying to keep food from burning. Dez smiled, looking at the two as they played together. She had felt that something was developing between them, and thought about how happy she would be to have Da-Won become a permanent fixture in the house. It was nice to have some more female energy around, and Da-Won had become a great friend already.

"Need some help?" Dez asked Jin, looking at Da-Won mischievously.

"Please!" Jin cried out, "She trying to eat all of the mango before it's ready!"

Dez stalked slowly with Jin, making Da-Won's eyes widen as she backed away. At the last minute, Dez turned and both women ganged up on Jin, tickling him into submission and pinning him to the ground. Kookie nearly tripped over them, stopping to put his hands on his hips.

"Can you two grope Mr. Worldwide Handsome somewhere other than right in the middle of the kitchen?"

"No can do, Sport," Da-Won yelled out, "Not until I get my mango!"

Grabbing two large slices, Kookie shoved one in each of the girls' mouths, making them let Jin up as they went to sit at the table. They caught Jin's playful glare, laughing as Dez took her spot on Yoongi's lap and Da-Won sat heavily on her brother. Hobi's whines of protest fell on deaf ears while Da-Won poured two glasses of juice and slid one to Dez.

"Why is your butt so bony!" Hobi said dramatically, "It's worse than Jimin's!"

"That's cuz I got that Jibooty," Jimin winked at him, leaning against the counter near Kook.

Dez ignored their banter, kissing Yoongi, "Are you going to come snorkeling with us?"

"Eh," he replied, "I kind of wanted to check out those street performers you and Tae told me about the other day."

Dez nodded in understanding as she sipped her juice. Food was finally brought to the table, and everyone dug in. They talked about what everyone had planned to do, Da-Won clapping excitedly as Jimin and Tae agreed t be her wingmen so she could 'get a taste of the local fare'. Jin and Hobi invited themselves to join Yoongi, and Kook and Joon talked about what they hoped to see while swimming in the ocean.

Dez sat content, happily letting Joon and Yoongi feed her while everyone talked. She felt a strong sense of family, and like she was where she had always belonged. The eight people around her made her happy, and she hoped in her heart it would stay that way.

A/N: Sorry for the short filler. I've been crazy busy this week and didn't have time to add much detail. I'm already almost finished with the next chapter, though, and should be able to post after my performance tonight. 

If you haven't read the chapter titled 'Questions', I'd be super stoked for you to do so and leave some comments to what I posted there. I'm to the point where I need to start making decisions on where I'm taking this story, and whether or not I'm going to re-edit and post another story on this profile.

As always, thank you SO MUCH for reading! I love you a million billion trillion!
