When the couple arrived at the beach they were expecting to be focused on only the salty smell from the sea, the crashing waves on the shore, and the annoying flying birds that would try to scoop up their food. However, with them had joined two new unexpected faces. 

Suran was one of those. She greeted the couple right as they stepped out of the car. Her and Yoongi fell into a tight embrace while Jimin was left on the side to just awkwardly watch them. When it was his turn he was given a quick hug with a basic greeting before all the attention went back to Yoongi. The two walked on ahead side by side with Jimin trailed them close behind. 

"How was your trip here?" She asked him. Yoongi describe it as just fine meanwhile Jimin had more to say yet it didn't seem like his opinion was really going to matter so he didn't interject in the two's conversation. 

According to Suran they could start their search after dinner which everyone agreed was best. They sat to eat in a seafood place right after Jimin stopped to buy a hat so that he could be covered from the sun. It was a dark blue hat with a rainbow right in the middle of it. He found it cute and with Yoongi's reassurance that it was, he bought it. This was the first purchase he had made which wasn't a necessity. Jimin enjoyed it, but he had to be careful to not want more of they type of spending because at that rate they could be running out of money much quicker than he hoped. 

"So Suran, how come you decided to join us?" Jimin asked. 

The woman who was dressed in expensive brands shrugged. She looked like a woman of class who would not exactly choose a small town by a beach to vacation in. 

"My husband wanted us to go visit his mother so I told him I couldn't because I'd be helping Yoongi. I mean I could have just lied to him, but this way I won't feel as guilty when I cheat on him."

Caught completely off guard by the last part, Jimin's jaw dropped. Suran was more amused by his reaction than anything. She couldn't help, but laugh. 

"What are you going to sleep with Eight Ball?" Yoongi joked.

"Oh if he's here then definitely. The last time I saw him he was looking good you know." She said with a playful smile. "Yet again I was pregnant so it could have been the hormones. Eight is handsome though...sometimes....when his hair is cut. Honestly if he would have groomed himself better back then I would have totally hooked up with him at least once."

Yoongi snickered. "Su, you did."

"Nice one, but I would have remembered."

"Not if you were drunk."

Suran's face fell as she began to doubt herself. A small argument broke out between the two who knew Eight Ball. Jimin who knew nothing of the man, but intended to find out more, ate his food quietly when it came. Lunch had been skipped out on since Yoongi insisted they make no stops. He wanted to be sure they arrived at the town before sun down and he succeeded, but at the cost of a meal. 

It wasn't till about half way through the meal that Jimin finally decided he wanted to ask more about Eight Ball. 

"So...how he look like? I think it's absurd that I'm suppose to help find someone when I don't even know what he looks like."

Yoongi put his hand around Jimin. "Doll face, Eight could walk right pass us right now and we wouldn't even know. He could have been our waitress and we wouldn't even know it!"

"I thought he was a guy..."

"Eight is because he tends to dress himself not always like one. Master of disguise if you will." Suran added. "If you're still interested in knowing though, he's pale, small, black hair, and skinny. At least that's how he was looking the last time I saw him."

Suran explained that the last time he had seen the man was halfway through her pregnancy with her now three year old. It had been four years ago now since the day he had shown up at the hospital to see her. Suran told the story of how she fell down the stairs and ended up being admitted to the hospital for the night. Eight Ball had shown up  while her husband slept with his head at her side. The hospital happened to be near where the man was staying and somehow her name made it to his ear. 

"The bastard showed up while I was sleeping. He covered my mouth so I couldn't scream...You taught him too well." Suran said to Yoongi. "Well yeah, he was living nearby with some guy he met for a little while but he told me it wasn't for long because he got into some trouble. You can mark that place off your list cause I doubt he's going to be there."

The information was great yet it wasn't what Jimin was hoping for. He said no more in regards to wanting to know more and continued dining. He savored his food while the old friends bantered about old times. They reminded each stories of the horrible things they had done together, leaving Jimin to sit through it all uncomfortably. The last story they told was of a girl which Yoongi helped Suran get back at by having her sit in a pool of acid at school. Jimin wanted to hear no more so he stood up and excused himself. He claimed to go for the bathroom, but really he stepped out of the restaurant completely to get a glimpse of the busy town. 

Across the street there was an open area for street vendors, a park, and most importantly a church to sit right in the middle of it. Jimin decided it wouldn't hurt to peak at what was being sold to distract his mind from the horrid things he had just heard. He adjusted his cap so that it went a little lower before crossing the street to see what a woman was selling. There were already a few people at the stand so he made sure to stand by the corner of it looking at the hand crafted boats with the name of the town on it. Jimin was quite impressed, so much he wanted to ask the woman how much for one. He went to do that, but just as he did he was interrupted from someone calling his name. 

Jimin was quick to put the merchandise back ad take off in a panic. It wasn't Yoongi and it wasn't Suran. Someone else had recognized him. He couldn't even stop to think to if he knew the voice, he just kept going. He ran into the first building he could which was the church. The doors were open so it was not a problem getting in. The bad luck came when he realized a session was occurring so his abrupt entrance was noticed by the pastor who asked him to sit and join them. Right after he was done appointing Jimin a seat he did the same to the person who had come in right behind him. He asked for the newcomer to take a seat beside Jimin. 

There was no way to be certain if whoever was coming to sit next to him was who had called out for him, but Jimin had no option to move away from him. He held his hat in his hand tightly with his head down when the person sat next to him. The pastor returned to speaking and he did his best to not seem disrespectful as he coward away from facing where he should. 

"Jimin." The person besides him whispered. "I know it's you."

 At last Jimin admitted defeat. He breathed out a sigh as he built the courage to face whoever was besides him. He had yet to figure out who it was since he had been spoken to in a low voice. He looked around one last time to find a way out, but he would not be able to since at both his sides he had people blocking him. The only choice was to face them so with much difficulty Jimin turned his head to give his face. 

It was Namjoon.
