"They're really swimming man... I thought they would just wet their legs a bit and come back" Jin said and Namjoon agreed.

"Can you see where they are?" he asked, making them all reply with a 'no'.

"What if something happened to them" Hobi said and Yoongi shook his head.

"Nah man let's chill... Jungkook won't drown or let Jimin drown either" he said and the other agreed but stayed a little worried anyway.

"15 more minutes... If they don't show up somewhere, we'll go find them" Tae suggested and they all nodded.

Beyond the fire on the shore, the sand, and and further in the water, two boys were sitting in silence with a good distance between them.

"Ask your questions Jimin" Jungkook said, rolling his eyes at the stubborn boy.

The younger just glared at him and continued playing with the wet sand beneath him.

"Why are you pouting..." he tried to reason and Jimin huffed.

"What we're not gonna do, is act as if you didn't forcefully keep me here in the cold to save your own ass from Jin"

"I wouldn't be doing this is you'd promised not to tell him... You don't understand, Jin is scary when he's on parent mode"

"And it's my problem because...?"

"You're right it's mine only, but! But... "

"Hmm?"

"Come on, don't make this harder Jimin, you're being a brat... I literally just pushed you slightly under it's not like I tried to kill you or anything" Jungkook raised his arms, splashing some water when they dropped down.

"Of course yeah... Then why are you afraid I'll say exactly that to Jin? It shouldn't be that big of a deal" Jimin shrugged and got up, shivering from the cold breeze.

"Sit your ass back down" Jungkook said as he pulled the smaller's arm down.

"Here we go again"

"It's not okay because you cried, on your birthday" he explained "Jin is really serious about this stuff, he thinks crying on your own birthday leads to bad luck for at least a year" he announced and Jimin gasped.

"So you drowned me and cursed me for at least a year?! What did I ever do to you Jeon" Jimin said dramatically and Jungkook chuckled.

"Stop... I don't believe in that shit and neither should you, you'll accomplish great things if you really want to, bad luck and stuff isn't relevant" he stated and Jimin crossed his arms.

"You don't know if it exists or not for sure"

"Even if it did, I was just playing I didn't know you were gonna cry so easily, so why am I the one who cursed you?" Jungkook complained, feeling wronged.

"Because that's just how it is, deal with it" he pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders.

They sat together some more and Jimin now started physically shivering since all his body heat had dropped considerably. "Alright it's enough Jungkook, let's go" he said, wrapping his arms against himself. His wet dark hair was stuck against his forehead and his lips started losing that pink color.

Jungkook was skeptical.

"I won't tell them, goddamit let's just go" he rolled his eyes and chuckled.

They both got up and hissed at the cold, it felt like they were wearing bikinis on the mountains of Russia during winter. Or that's how Jungkook would describe it.
