nayeon was proud of herself; overcoming her sudden fear of water after being knocked off of her jet ski a few months ago wasn't easy at all, but she managed to do it with the help of jungkook and dahyun, who constantly encouraged her to take up swimming again in order to re-familiarize herself with both shallow and deep waters. the two were even kind enough to accompany her to an indoor pool for moral support.
if only they got to see her now. comfortably seated on the pink surfboard she borrowed earlier just behind the invisible line that split deep-enough waters from even deeper, unknown territory. nayeon was supposed to take surfing lessons that morning, but the waves weren't strong enough–prompting her instructor to offer the opportunity to try again the next day–and she happily accepted. now here she was a few hours later, using the board as a floatation device and waving down the familiar face she spotted swimming towards her. "i was starting to think i'd be the only one swimming today. it was too quiet." nayeon jokingly called out, lifting her sunglasses up to playfully squint at them.

as a celebrity as famous as he is, it was hard for jimin to find a moment of true peace and quiet in his life. of course that now, with taking a break from his career and focusing on his enlistment did give him a moment to focus more on his friendships and family and now the trip to the maldives gave him yet another opportunity to just be jimin. not park jimin or bts' jimin. he remembers during the suchwita interview when yoongi asked him what dream that just jimin had and not bts' jimin, back then the bts member said that there wasn't a difference between the two, that whatever just jimin wanted was what bts' jimin wanted to, that there wasn't much difference between those two people— that they weren't two people at all.
jimin still stands up to that, but he also can't deny that his shoulders do feel a little lighter when he doesn't have to worry about carrying the weight of being bts' park jimin like he is in that moment, in the middle of the sea.
"well," jimin grins shamelessly at his friend, deciding to approach her since it feels like forever since they had the chance to spend time together. "if i'm not bothering my sister-in-law then what kind of brother-in-law i am?" he jests back. he doesn't comment on it, the fact that nayeon is back on the water, looking in peace in it even though it was just months ago that the incident happened, one that had both jungkook and taehyung completely distraught because their girlfriends were involved in it.
"in a more serious note," he also adds. "how have you been? it's been a while, hasn't it?" his grin has softened up into a small yet still friendly smile.
