your bare feet touched the sand, taking careful steps as you felt the sandy texture hitting your feet. you faced the waves that ran back and forth and you swung your sandals on your fingers. the cold air hit your cheeks and you huffed, the visible mist coming out of your mouth.

the suspension bridge before you glowed in the dark night while the faded noises of the busy city made you sigh in relief as you felt your heart calming in peace.

it was like a deja vú, as if you had experienced this before but now this feeling had grown ten times more intense than what you felt like you had experienced before.

"hey guys! we're back!" taehyung's voice made you out of your thinking as you turned and found jungkook, jimin and hoseok coming your way with a cup of coffee in both their hands.

they handed the paper cups to all of you, jimin handing one cup of coffee to you hesitantly as you took it without giving him a glance.

you walked away from him, taking a seat on one of the lounge chairs laid on the beach. but he didn't leave you alone. he followed you and took a seat on another lounge chair laying beside you.

"isn't it a coincidence when you said we'll not be able to spend time on the beach yet here we are, with paper cups in our hands and sitting on the beach?" he gave a winsome smile before taking a sip of his coffee.

"how unfortunate of me." you rolled your eyes.

noticing you being unimpressed, he pressed his lips together, collecting himself to speak further.

"look--"

"y/n!" taehyung interrupted jimin as he rushed towards the both of you, his coffee moving along his movements, making your anxiety go up.

"careful, careful, careful." you chanted under your breath as your eyes never left the cup.

fortunately, he reached you without spilling his coffee. 

"i have to tell you something!" he chirped with glittering eyes, making jimin feel like he's just a hallucination.

jimin feeling ignored, went towards yoongi and hoseok, leaving the two of you alone.

"she, she called me!" you listened to him.

"who she?"

"annie!" 

you choked on your coffee, making taehyung worry as he patted your back a few times.

"damn, she's fast." you muttered while blowing on your coffee.

"you gave her my number?" he asked you.

"no."

"then how did you know?"

"what do i know? i know nothing." you looked the other way, trying to avoid the boy's unstoppable questions.

"what did she tell you though?" you eyed him.

"i don't know."

"ha?"

"it felt like she was panicking throughout the call so i couldn't understand what she was saying." he sighed and you joined him.

"of course, she's annie after all." you both said in unison, gaining a gasp from each other as you both laughed.

after the laughter died, you asked, "do you still remember these boys?"

you felt yourself being put in a reverse harem. lord knows why you only had male friends and not even a female when you were young. 

you thought while sighing.

he nodded enthusiastically like a puppy meeting its owner after days of partition.

"that was what you were trying to say earlier?" you looked at him, amused.

"yup!" he nodded again like a puppy.

"how can your memory be so vivid while mine is like a goldfish?" your lips puffed out.

"remember y/n, no matter how younger i look than you, i'll always be three years older than you." he said, proudly while you sulked.

"then you must remember this beach too. tell me about it." you sipped while watching the cobalt waves drift around the beach, playing around with each other.

"i do. we always used to come here in the evenings to play around. and you loved building sand castles with jimin and used to chase each other when one of us intentionally ruined your castle and mostly blamed it on jimin." he laughed evilly while you gave him a 'do you really think i'll believe it' look.

"what?! its true! lemme ask jin hyung!" he said before turning around and finding the said boy sitting on one of the lounge chairs. "hey jin hyung! remember how we used to kick y/n and jimin's castle together and used to blame it on jimin just to see them bicker?!" this gained a wind shield laugh from jin as he waved a hand to stop his laugh.

"those moments were awesome! jimin always used to get beaten by her! we must do that again!" he laughed again while you gauged, looking at a flushed jimin.

"its time to head back kids, dinner will be ready by now." namjoon glanced at his watch before getting up and throwing his empty paper cup in the near bin.

"remember, we are older than you." jin and yoongi said in unison while glaring at him as he scratched his head in embarrassment as the eight kids now walked back to the house, ready to fill their tummies.
