(A/N: Sorry I haven't updated... Happy reading!!! ❤️)

Namjoon's POV

I pick up some bacon from the big serving plate with my fork and put it on mine.

"Well, to start off... I was almost robbed." I freeze after what Jungkook said and chew slower.

"W-what happened?" I ask. Jimin looks at me then grabs his boyfriend's hand as he says what happened.

"Well, I was walking home from school one day and some guy pushed me on the ground and threatened me with a gun saying that I needed to give him my money. I was about to comply but someone else came and saved me..." Wait... Someone came to save him? I look at Jimin and he slightly moves his head. I take that as a sign to keep my mouth shut.

"Oh my god! That's horrible!" Jin grabs my hand as he says that, and I can hear my heart break.

Everyone is busy giving their condolences and Jay and I are the only quiet ones. "So your dream was about that event?" I pipe up.

"Y-yeah... But in my dream, he actually... Um..." He looks down, on the brink of tears. "He actually killed me." He grabs on to his boyfriend's hands, knuckles white. I instantly regret making the sex joke earlier. This lie is getting out of hand. I glance over at Jay and he adjusts his sitting position, obviously uneasy. We've never actually seen the outcome of what we do.

"Let's do something to take our mind off this! Why don't we go to the beach nearby?" Everyone agrees but they are obviously still feeling down. We disperse and clean up, each going to their individual rooms. I stay behind to clean the dishes and Jin helps me. The last door closes before Jin speaks.

"I feel really bad for what happened to Jungkook. I mean, who would do something like that?" He almost breaks the plate in anger but I try to calm him down.

"Hey, it's ok. He's here now... Plus... Maybe they had their own reason... For doing what they did..." I look away ashamed.

"Are you serious? Robbing is low. Whoever did that to him will get what they deserve." I cringe at my boyfriend's harsh words. This is bad. Real bad.

"I mean, to steal from someone is a desperate act... So maybe they were in between a rock and a hard place, you know? They prob-"

"Why are you trying to defend him Namjoon? Our friend is still having nightmares because of that creep." I almost break down. Almost.

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"Of course I am. Now let's go upstairs and get ready." We head up the stairs hand in hand and I can't help but feel like I'm scum. That I'm as low as they say.

~At the beach~

Jikook, VHope, Jin and Yoongi run straight to the water after putting their stuff down. Leaving Jay and I to set up the towels and umbrellas. It was a pretty day out and I wanted to rush to the calming seas with my boyfriend but I knew that Jay and I needed some alone time. We sit down next to each other on the towels and face the ocean.

"What are you doing here Jay?" Silence. "Did they send you here?" More silence. "I meant what I said when I told him I wanted out."

The fucktard starts laughing. "You don't just get out because you want to. Don't be so naive Namjoon. Trust me. Or I would have been out a while ago."

"Then tell me why you're here. Did James send you or not?" I almost scream the last part and I look around to see if anyone noticed. Thankfully no one did.

"No he didn't send me... I came here just for Yoongi actually. But when I found out you were here, I just had to let him know. So he told me to watch over you and try to find out what your weaknesses are. And I think I found it." He looks away from me and stares at Jin.

"Don't you fucking lay a hand on him!" I whisper but it was more like a scream.

"Don't worry! I won't." He smirks and I just want to punch that smug face.

"Why are you doing this? What do you get out of it? What have I done to you?" He slowly shakes his head.

"Don't you get it? You haven't done anything to me. But our boss man has given me an offer I can't refuse if I can somehow convince you to come back to work."

"Whatever he's promised you, I can pay double! Just don't tell them about Jin. Please." I don't want to beg to him but I really don't want Jin getting hurt.

"It's not money that I'm getting..." He turns to face Yoongi. "I'm getting the freedom to love whoever I want and know they won't be in danger. Something that you want as well right?" He turns back to face me.

"I don't want to go back. I already hurt someone close to me."

"Oh. You mean Jungkook? He's going to make you do worse things than that." I thought he would snicker but instead he looked at me with more.... Pity?

"What happened with Jungkook was supposed to be a simple robbery. I didn't expect someone to come and help. But you guys got your money anyways right? So why do you care where it came from?"

"What we care about is why after such successful missions, you happen to fail because of a random person? No. No... It doesn't add up. See, I'm thinking that you knew who it was... In fact I think that person is here, on this vacation... Am I getting warmer?" His eyebrow raised at me but I stay silent. He looks around at the possible choices. But I won't tell him.

"No. You are getting colder." I decide to finally answer him. There is no way I'm giving up Jimin. After all, he didn't give me up to his own boyfriend.

He nods but I don't think he's buying it. "Maybe I should just investigate on my own." He whispers in my ear. He glances back at Yoongi never taking his eyes off.

"Do you love him?" He snaps his head back at me. "I mean you have to right? To risk the lives of at least 4 more people?" He looks down blushing.

"When I said I could have the freedom to love who I want, I didn't have anyone in mind specifically... It's just for the future." He mumbles out the last part.

"So Yoongi means nothing to you? He's just being used as an excuse to keep an eye on me? Cause him and I have gotten close so you better not-"

"What do you mean you've gotten close? You think you care about him more than I do? I fucking saved him." He spits at me and I sense a lover's jealousy not a friend's worry.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it." Yoongi gets out of the water and heads over to us.

"The water's great! Join us!" He pulls on Jay's arm and he has no choice but to oblige. Jay runs with Yoongi to the water and they start splashing each other like the other couples. Jin notices I'm the only one sitting down so he comes and talks with me.

"You aren't going to come in?" He points behind him with his thumb. I smile at him.

"Yeah... Can you help me up?" I reach out my arm so he can grab it but when he does, I pull him down. Right on top of me.

"Namjoon!" He yells and tries to get up. "Don't be so cliché!" I bring him back towards me and roll over so that I'm slightly above him but I'm more to his side. I shield his eyes from the sun using my shadow and I slowly stroke his wet bangs away from his eyes. He blushes and starts to giggle.

"Namjoon, what is this?" He continues to giggle as I plant kisses from his forehead down his nose, and eventually to his lips.

"I just want you to know that you're special to me. You know that right?" I kiss each cheek and circle my thumb on the back of his palm.

"Haha yeah I know! What is this? All of a sudden..." He looks up at me and all I see is love. I don't want to see anything else from his clear brown eyes. I would break if I did. I kiss his soft lips again wanting to savor this as if this will be the last time. And maybe it will be. He kisses back with the same intensity but I want to keep it as a slow kiss. A kiss that he will remember for a long time. His hand finds it's way to my hair while the other is on my waist. I have one arm keeping me up while the other is cupping his cheek. If only we could stay like this. He tries to deepen the kiss, make it rougher, but I stop him. "What is it Namjoon? Is something wrong? You've been acting weird lately..." I shake my head.

"Nothing's wrong. I just... Want to savor this." He smiles and shakes his head too.

"Namjoon! I'm not going anywhere." He brings me in for another kiss but before it develops, we get splashed with a bucket of seawater. "TAEHYUNG!" We start running after him and Hoseok all around the beach. Bliss is all I feel right now as I enjoy the afternoon with my boyfriend and our friends. I want it to stay like this. If only we could stay like this forever.

~Namjoon's Vacation House~

We get back to the house and everyone heads to take a shower. Since there were 6 rooms and 8 of us, two of us didn't have a shower. Jungkook and I were left out and we headed to the kitchen. We already had dinner but I was so thirsty. I pass him a bottle and he catches it.  We start to laugh at his miraculous catch when he responds, "it's because ball is life." He puts his hands up in victory and I can't help but laugh more.

I look at the laughing kid and I feel sorry. If only there was some way I could apologize without getting exposed. "Hey Jungkook?" He calms down his laughter and responds.

"Yeah?" He sips his soda while looking up at me. Fuck I want to tell him.

"I was thinking...about your dream?" He gets serious and continues sipping his drink. "I'm really sorry that that happened to you..." He nods slowly and I can tell he's keeping in the tears. "But I'm sure that the person who did that to you... He did it out of necessity." His eyes widen. "I-I mean I'm not excusing what he did b-but.." I put my hands up in defense. He looks pissed. "I-I'm just saying... Actually... I don't know what I'm saying..." I look down ashamed. I can't even properly apologize without trying to get myself off the hook. He looked mad before but he gets better now.

"Hey don't worry Namjoon. I'm not mad at you." I look up surprised.

"You're not?"

"Of course not! It's not like you were the one who robbed me." He pats my shoulder and makes his way upstairs. "I'm going to try and take a shower anyways! Maybe Jimin will let me in!" He yells from the stairs. I chuckle at his remark. An idea popped into my head too. Maybe I could join Jin? I laugh and practically sprint to our room, undressing and opening the bathroom door.

"Namjoon!" Jin yells at me and chuckle while pulling him close.

"Let's stay like this." Jin laughs and hugs me tighter. The warm water down our backs instantly soothing us. Oh how I wish things could stay like this.
