•Y/N POV•

"You're very beautiful and..." Jimin doesn't finish his sentence. Just him calling me beautiful makes me blush ahh. He looks conflicted, like he wants to say something but doesn't know if he should. Instead of saying anything else, he smiles and let's go of my hands walking into the bathroom. This boy is making my heart run a marathon and more.

"I'm going to shower," he says.

"Oh okay, should I leave?" I ask walking toward the front door.

"You don't have to, but we're going to take a tour of Brazil soon."

Wow, his English was smooth there. I'm impressed. "Okay, i'll go get ready then."

"But you already look great," he says smirking looking me up and down.

"Ahh, Park Jimin!" I say walking out the door while he laughs his adorable squeaky laugh. I can never get enough of him, I swear.

I walk straight into me and Jee's room and see her and Jungkook in the couch laughing together. I lean on the wall in the small hallway and look at them for a second. Adorable.

"Should I come back another time?" I say smiling at them. They quickly turn around not expecting to see me here.

"Y/N what the fuck, you scared me!" Jee says throwing a pillow at me. Jungkook and I laugh at her sudden reaction.

"We're going on a tour soon, we should get ready," I say walking to my suitcase.

Jungkook turns back to Jee and awkwardly scratches the back of his neck. "Well, I should go get ready. See you in 30?"

Jee nods and smiles at him as he walks out of the room. When she makes sure the door is secured shut, she throws another pillow at me.

"What did I do?" I ask tossing the pillow back on the couch.

"You stayed in Jimin's room for HOURS! You definitely have tea to spill to me." She crosses her arms staring at me.

I take an outfit and my makeup bag out from the suitcase and walk into the bathroom. "What makes you think something happened? We just watched a movie. That's all."

I take off my shirt and put on a yellow crop top. I'm already wearing a pair of jeans because I was dumb and didn't think about changing before getting on the plane.

Jee stands in the door frame of the bathroom. "And there's one bed. Nowhere else to sit. Two people."

"Uhuh," I say applying mascara on my eyelashes.

"And you were in there for three hours. I bet that movie wasn't three hours long. Plus, you look well rested."

"So you're going all detective on me now. Where did you get your skills from, Nancy Drew?"

She sighs and rests her head on the wall. "I'm nosy, okay! My best friend is finally like close or whatever with her celebrity crush from our favorite band and she was just alone in a room with him for three hours! How the fuck would I not beg you to tell me what happened?"

She's got a point. If i was her and she was me in this situation, I probably would do the same thing. Not gonna lie, I was gonna bother her about what her and Jungkook talked about in here when they were alone.

"We just laid next to each other and watched the movie. Halfway through, we just took a nap without realizing we fell asleep. Nothing really."

Her eyebrow rose up as she looked at me. "See, wasn't that hard. But that's actually adorable, like I can't even imagine me and Jungkook falling asleep in the same bed next to each other." We giggle and then finish getting ready.

At 11:42, I get a message from Jimin.
Jimin: Meet us in the vans when you're ready, i'll be in the first one ;)

I smile at the winking face he wrote out. It also surprises me. He just today started acting more closer with me. A bit different than usual. I don't know what's gotten into him, but it kinda makes me nervously excited, if that's the right wording.

I climb into the first van and sit next to him. We both look at each other and smile. This smile from him seemed different though It gave me a different feeling that i've never felt before. His smile warms me and comforts me even though nothing is wrong. It seemed to calm my butterflies though they're still there.

During the tour, we visit different tourist sights and enjoy delicious Brazil food. The last tourist sight we visit is the Christ the Redeemer statue. When I would do projects on Brazil in school, this stature would always be a topic somewhere in the project. It always made me want to come and visit it. And yet, here I am. The place cleared out just for us.

We get to the top of the mountain and walk up close to the enormous statue. It's even better in person.

Everyone starts taking pictures of the Jesus Christ statue and admiring the beauty. After examining it and snapping a couple photos, I stand by the edge of the circular platform looking out at the water. This is such a beautiful sight.

Someone comes up from behind me and gently grabs my wrists. He stretches my arms out and turns my palms so they're facing outward, just like the statue.

"Close your eyes," he whispers. It's definitely Jimin. I do as he says and close my eyes. We stand here for a bit.

"Take a deep breaths." I take deep breaths just like he asked.

"Are you trying to turn me into the statue?" I ask putting my arms down. He giggles and rests his head on my shoulder.

"No, but it's calming, right?"

I nod. "Yeah, it actually is."

"And it made you forget about life for a second."

Well damn, he's right. I had no thoughts in my head relating to life in the moment I became a statue.

We stand there staring into the earth, so breathtaking from its beauty. Brazil is the first  and only country i've been to besides my own and it's already set in my mind that it's the most beautiful country in the world.

I take a moment to realize what's happening. His head is on my shoulder and his hands are on my waist. How did I not notice this until now? My heart races a million miles from this sudden realization. Jimin turns me around to face him and smiles like he did in the van.

"When you feel that life is in the way, think of this moment. Be a statue. Even for a few seconds. Then, you can fight through anything."

He walks toward the guys leaving me standing there in my thoughts. Be a statue. Even for a few seconds. Then, you can fight through anything. His words replay in my head like a broken record player. It came out of nowhere. How did he even think of this? And why? This is messing with my head. I shake it off and head back down the mountain with everyone else.
