Paradise Beach

@Mark Tuan "selling?" Seokjin looked back at the other curiously. "I don't know really, I've never tried selling anything before."

(*cries* I'm so, so sorry about taking so long to reply back to you T.T)

@Kim Seok Jin “Are you good at selling?” Mark asked curious as he tilted his head under the umbrella.

@Mark Tuan Seokjin looked at the other and tilted his head slightly at his words, confused by what he meant. "Potential? Potential for what?" Seokjin shrugged a little. "Maybe a little bit, but only at the moment because I'm confused about what you're talking about." He told the other honestly.

@Kim Seok Jin Mark studied the man, his lean body, his built. “You know you have potential?” He asked before chuckling to himself. “I must sound crazy don’t you think?” Mark said grinning.

@Mark Tuan Seokjin turned around hearing someone speak, looking at the man in front of him standing under an umbrella. "Hello. I'm not sure, as silly as that sounds. I was asked by an acquaintance to come here, but I don't see them anywhere and I don't have their number or a way to contact them. So just waiting really."

@Kim Seok Jin Mark watched the man under his umbrella before walking over smiling. “Hello, are you lost?” Mark asked curious.

@Mark Tuan (I hope this is okay, I wasn't quite sure how to start and sorry it's short)

Seokjin walked to the beach, stepping onto the sand and looked around. There weren't many other people there at that time, so he had a bit of beach to himself. He walked closer to the sea and stood there enjoying the breeze and watching the waves bringing in little bits of seaweed to the shore. He walked a bit further, looking for some shells in the sand. He sighed softly to himself and looked around again, a little unsure what he was looking for.

@Jeonghan Seokjin kept hugging Jeonghan, his hands gently rubbing his back, hoping to soothe him a little. It had worked for him before, so he was hoping it would work for Jeonghan as well. He pulled back slightly, just enough to look at him and nodded. "I do think so. I haven't been through the same things as you, but I had similar feelings before. I still do have them from time to time. I thought I was useless and unworthy of being loved too. Loving yourself when you feel like that is really hard." He confessed a little about himself, not something he had really done before, but he wanted to show Jeonghan that he did mean what he said, that he could understand, even a little, what it was like. Seokjin smiled softly and kept his arms around Jeonghan, just holding him. "I'm glad that you feel a little better and that I was able to help you a little bit."

"I only have one class tomorrow I think, in the afternoon, so it won't be too bad." He smiled softly and nodded. "It's dangerous for many people at night." He pulled away from Jeonghan slightly, keeping one arm around him. "Are you sure you want to get me home? I don't want to put you out of your way, and I don't really live that close. I ran further than I usually do."

@Jeonghan Seokjin stayed quiet, unsure of what he could say to the other, nothing coming to mind. He moved himself closer to the fire, feeling cold and not wanting to become sick on top of everything else that was going on lately. He sighed softly to himself at the warmth from it, glad that it was there. He stole glances at Jeonghan, not wanting to stare at him, but wanting to check on him, feeling worried. He decided to focus on his memories for a bit, wanting to try and figure out the reason for his panic attack, and give Jeonghan time to himself. Focusing on the fragments of memory he had, he tried to remember anything else. A few more blurry images coming to his mind; again he was on the ground, students surrounding him, laughing, someone standing over him, blurry, he couldn't tell who. He shook his head softly, still confused about what happened. Students had been surrounding him laughing, was it at him? Maybe that could have caused it.

He looked back at Jeonghan as he spoke, listening to him telling his story. He couldn't help feeling sad as he listened, Jeonghan had led such a hard life. It took a few moments before he realised he was crying softly. He wiped his tears away and stood up from his place in front of the fire, making his way to Jeonghan. His heart hurting a little seeing him hugging himself so tightly. "Mark? He must see that you are deserving of his love. I know it's hard, not loving yourself, but believe in him that he can see the good things in you, that you cannot see yourself." He stepped even closer, carefully wrapping his arms around Jeonghan, hugging him with the hope of even a little comfort. "Everyone is a mess really, some people just hide it better than others so that no-one ever knows it. You don't have to be sorry either, I told you that you could vent at me. It's good to get things off your chest. Do you feel any better letting it out?"

(okay ^^ He has a right to be sulky for now, sorry for the late reply too)

@Jeonghan Seokjin watched Jeonghan, waiting patiently for him to continue, still feeling concerned about him. Seokjin didn't see himself as very useful sometimes, nor was he the greatest at comforting people, not knowing much comfort himself during his life, but sometimes, he just knew when people were sad, he wasn't even sure how. He knew that something was bothering Jeonghan, but he wasn't sure if he would open up to him, or if he would even want his help. He sat quietly, warming himself with the fire, his breathing under control now and no more panic, staring into the flames while trying to piece together what happened to cause his panic attack.

"I wouldn't want to put you out of your way. I don't really live close by either. I instinctually go for quiet places where no-one really goes when I panic, and ended up here this time." He shook his head at the other's apology and gave him a soft smile. "It's okay, you don't have to be sorry for that." He was a little unsure why Jeonghan was apologising to him. The concern he had for Jeonghan turned to worry when he looked at him. He stood up, slightly shakily, and walked over to him, giving him a gentle hug, hoping it was okay with Jeonghan for him to do so, just wanting to give him some comfort. "You won't be burdening me with it. You can vent to me, I really don't mind at all." He smiled a little more at him, hoping it was able to convey to Jeonghan that he really meant those words.

(it's okay, don't worry about it ^^)

@Jeonghan Seokjin continued to take slow breaths, feeling much calmer now than he did before. He looked at Jeonghan curiously, wondering if he really was okay. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Seokjin knew what it was like, could recognise it when someone was in their thoughts. He used to get lost in his own thoughts much more often when he was younger, not quite so much now. He sat quietly, not wanting to interrupt Jeonghan, not sure that he would appreciate it, he knew he hadn't himself when it happened.

"Oh, are you sick?" He couldn't help feeling a little concerned about Jeonghan. He seemed nice enough, and he had helped a stranger. He tilted his head a little, having just caught the Jeonghan's whisper, having been close enough to hear it. "Are you sure it isn't important? I don't mind listening if you need to talk." At Jeonghan's soft grin he felt a little confused. It seemed to him that there was something bothering Jeonghan, but he was smiling, and that's what confused him, he couldn't really tell if he was happy or just smiling because he was there. At question asked to him, he shook his head. "Not yet. I get little flashes of memory, but I can't quite piece it all together yet, it's all disjointed and nothing makes sense. Although from the memories involving people surround me, I guess that's what set off my panic attack."

@Jeonghan Seokjin gave a small nod and focused on slowing his breathing down as Jeonghan instructed him to do. The encouraging and comforting things, along with having slowed his breathing down a bit was helping him. He watched the other, registering that he had water swirling in his hand but he wasn't afraid, not even when Jeonghan took his hand and the water flowed to his own. He watched it curiously, it not making his panic attack worse, although not really making it better either, it stayed at the same level. He watched it glowing before it travelled back to Jeonghan's hand, watching it dispersing into the sand before looking at Jeonghan again.

At Jeonghan's question he focused on how he felt, surprised to find he felt a lot better, the fear and sadness he felt before were gone, making his panic attack disperse much quicker than it normally would. "I feel better. Thank you." He wasn't even stuttering over his words, like usual for a while after one. He nodded at Jeonghan. "Yes, I can breathe alright." He looked at him as he spoke, listening to his story, sharing it with him, and it helped him a little. He watched him touching the collar on his neck and nodded at his question. "Yes, I do have someone dear to me." He thought of Taehyung, his boyfriend, and imagined his arms around him, comforting him, and it really did help. He looked at Jeonghan again, noticing his eyes. "Are you alright?"

@Jeonghan The words of the stranger slowly penetrated through the fog of his mind, prompting him to try and take deeper breaths, easier said than done for him though. He registered being pulled to his feet and the soft voice talking to him. He couldn't really make out much of it, unable to concentrate on the words fully, but the soft tone of voice was helping a little, the panic lessening slightly. He tried taking another deeper breath, finding it slightly easier than before, although still not that easy yet. This had been one of his worst panic attacks in a long while.

He stumbled a little, trying to move him limbs so that he could sit down, knowing the stranger had told him to sit down. He managed to calm himself down a tiny bit more, enough that he could communicate with the stranger. "S..Seokjin.." He noticed the fire once it was lit, but hadn't noticed how the other lit it, feeling some warmth from it having felt the cold. he tried to remember why he was running, but everything seemed a blur at the moment. A few memories flashed through his mind, lots of people, a crowd of people around him, himself on the ground. He shook his head slightly, unsure what those glimpses meant. "I..I'm not sure..." Talking was becoming a little easier for him, the panic attack lessening more, the words of the stranger helping, he knew he was safe there, no-one else would find him.

@Jeonghan (it's okay, I figured you were busy. Yeah it's fine, and okay ^^)

Seokjin ran. He wasn't really sure what he was running from at that moment, wasn't really aware of his surroundings much either. All he knew was that he was fighting a losing battle with panic. He could feel his lungs burning, but that didn't stop him. Memories swirled around in his head, his brain trying to make any sense out of them, trying to piece together what had happened to cause such panic in him. It had been a short while since he had last had a panic attack, something that he was a little proud of, even if it was a small achievement, happy to be free of the worry of them for a short while. He should have known that it wouldn't have lasted, and had he been in a better state of mind, maybe he would have been surprised it had been so long.

He had no idea how far he had travelled, only that he was still running. The snapping of twigs as he stepped on them, barely registering with him. He wasn't too aware of stumbling either, still trying to fight the panic, unsuccessfully, feeling more panicked than before. He did seem to notice that there was someone in front of him, could feel their arms on his shoulders. It took a few minutes before he really looked at them, and another few to register their words to him. Only then did he notice how much he was shaking, his shoulders heaving with his sobs, and the tears trailing down his cheeks. He gave a small shake of his head, not feeling that he could speak just yet, still panicking.

Taehyung walked down the beach with a smile on his face just enjoying the sound of the waves and the soft breeze that came along with, he didn't feel lonely like he usually did when he walked like this he actually felt like he was happy.

@Kim Seok Jin (Should we move to TaeTae's house now? ^^)

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyung couldn't help but smile aswell when he saw Seokjin smile brightly, he was also looking forward to what they would do next time as he walked to his house which didn't take that long at all. Taehyung opened the door and ley Seokjin enter first before he closed the door not letting go of his hand since it felt comfortable "Jin hyung...I'm not going to let go of this hand" he said and chuckled slightly as he walked to the kitchen with him happily. Taehyung g hadn't felt this way for a long time and didn't want to lethe go of his hand because of that.

@Kim Taehyung Taehyung's word made Seokjin smile brightly, he was looking forward to doing something fun with Taehyung in the future. He watched as Taehyung looked down at their hands and smiled, happy that he didn't mind their fingers being entwined. The walk to Taehyung's house didn't seem to take that long, and soon they arrived there. He waited for Taehyung to unlock the door so he could put the basket back inside.

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyung looked over to Seokjin and smiled nodding slightly "yeah, it's a date then" he said happily before he looked at their hands, it was the first time he linked fingers with someone but it was something he had always wanted to do after he saw other people do it. Taehyung looked at Seokjin and smiled softly to him as he too enjoyed the peaceful walk back before he looked up at the sky slightly.

@Kim Taehyung Seokjin smiled happily as they walked off the beach and headed back to Taehyung's house. He turned to Taehyung. "It's a date then TaeTae." He released Taehyung's hand slightly so that he could entwine their fingers together, something he'd wanted to do when he saw other people doing it. It felt nice, and he could understand why people did it now. He looked back at Taehyung again, making sure it was okay that he'd done so. He smiled at him, enjoying the peaceful walk they were having together. It was a nice way to end such a good day that they'd spent together at the beach.

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyung held into Seokjins hand as they walked and gunned slightly in agreement "yeah, let's do this again sonetine" he said as they walked off the beach and headed back to his house, he couldn't help but smile as he held onto Seokjins hand as he walked it felt nice to actually have someone to hold hands with and to hug. Taehyung looked over to the other slightly before smiling just enjoying the piece and quiet as they walked back to his house.

@Kim Taehyung Seokjin gave a small laugh and smiled back at Taehyung. "Yeah, I had a lot of fun with you today TaeTae. And I wouldn't change a thing about it either. We should do it again sometime." He took Taehyung's hand, smiling brightly. He picked up the basket with his other hand and slowly started walking with Taehyung, heading off the beach. He looked down at their hands and smiled, enjoying the feeling of holding Taehyung's hand again.

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyubg was happily that Srokjin agreed now he would have pictures around the house to remind him of everything. Taehyung happily walked back to there stuff and helped pack sine of it away before standing up and stretched slightly "it was really fun today, I wouldn't came it for anything" he admitted before he looked at Seokjin and smiled softly "yep, let's head back! He said as he held his hand out to him with a slight grin.

@Kim Taehyung Seokjin hadn't thought of that and nodded in agreement with Taehyung. "That sounds like a good idea, to get all the pictures we've taken printed out." He could put them around his apartment, not that anyone came by that would see them, but Seokjin would see them everyday and that would make him happy. He smiled listening to Taehyung speak, liking that he was happy about this time because he didn't have to worry so much. He watched Taehyung put his hands in his pockets and realised that it was starting to become cold. He nodded and walked back to their stuff with him, quickly managing to pack it all up. "Let's head back then TaeTae."

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyung hummed in agreement as he looked at the picture "that would actually be nice, I also want to print out the other two pictures that we toke" he admitted as he looked at the sunset and the moon rise with a soft smile, this time was his favourite time if the day since it was when he was free to be himself since everyone would be at home "I really like this time since I don't have to worry to much an out hiding myself" he said softly as he watched happily. Taehyung put his hands in his pockets since it was starting to get a little cold "sold we get our stuff and head back, it's getting a little cold" he said as he looked at Seokjin.

@Kim Taehyung Seokjin made sure that he was in Taehyung's picture and smiled as Taehyung showed it to him after taking it. "It looks really nice. I'm going to get it printed out and put it in a frame, it's such a nice picture." He smiled, thinking of where he could display the picture once he'd done that. He stood with Taehyung, watching as the sun continued to set, and the moon slowly began to rise. They would have to head back at some point, but Seokjin was content to stay how they were for the moment.

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyung smiled slightly as he was pulled closer to Seokjin and git ready to take the picture with him as he leaned slightly against the other so he was in the the picture, he looked at the picture that Seokjin toke and nodded slightly "I really like that" he said happily before rasing his own phone to take a picture the same way before smiling happily as he showed the picture "it actually looks nicer then I thought it would.

@Kim Taehyung Seokjin smiled and moved to stand right beside Taehyung, pulling him close to his side. He lifted his phone up so he could take a picture. He moved it so that both Taehyung and himself were in it, with the sun setting in the background, and reflecting off of the sea. He smiled happily with Taehyung and took the picture. He checked it and smiled, showing it to Taehyung, before putting his phone away and smiling at Taehyung as he took his own picture.

@Kim Seok Jin Taehyung was enjoying everything at that moment as he looked at the sea he had to admit he never thought he would ever get to do something like this in his life, he smiled happily when Seokjin agreed to take a picture and pulled his own phone out "that would look really pretty, let's do that then. Taking one each would be nice to~" he said softly as he looked at Seokjin happily.

@Kim Taehyung Feeling Taehyung relax and lean against him, Seokjin pulled him closer, holding him gently. The view in front of him was more beautiful than he could have imagined, before he seen it with his own eyes. He turned to Taehyung and smiled back. "That sounds like a great idea TaeTae. It'll look really nice with the sun setting and the sea in the background too." He liked how happy Taehyung looked with his own idea. "We can take one each, like we did last time, so we both have them." He pulled out his phone so he could take a picture, and then Taehyung could do the same.
