The muscular figure stares down at you as he silently waits for you to answer his question.

You snap out of your shock and shake your head immediately.

"Uh, no. No, I'm sure I'm not a sasaeng." You state. He arches an eyebrow while staring down at you.

He's wearing a lose white t-shirt and a pair of printed swim trunks. His hair isn't styled, just naturally resting over his forehead. He's bare-faced but you can see a tint of sunscreen on his face as he stares down at you.

"Relax Jungkookie, she probably just wanted to experience the LA beaches." You hear Jimin's voice. You look to your left and see Jimin rushing to your direction. "I know she's not a sasaeng because I was the one who bothered her while she was shopping at the airport."

"Hm... okay." Jungkook says before shrugging his shoulders. He bends over, reaching his hand out to you. You glance down at it before placing your hand in his as he helps you get up from the ground.

Once you're fully standing, you thank him.

"Thank you," you say before looking down at his other hand.

You see the camera that he uses for his Golden Closet Films. You tilt your head to the side before gesturing towards the camera.

"Golden Closet?" you ask.

Jungkook and Jimin's eyebrows raise as they hear you say these two words.

"How'd you know?"

"Well, it was either that or you're doing something secret." You state.

The two look at each other before nodding their heads.

"Speaking of... shouldn't you all be following Big Hit's schedule?" you question.

"We did. We had something to film today and we finished so now we have some free time."

You nod your head before you hear another voice.

"Jungkook-ah!" Namjoon's voice. You'd know that anywhere. "I found a crab. Can you take a picture of me holding it? Oh, hi, Y/N." he says while giving you a dimpled smile as he runs over.

"Hi Namjoon." You say while giving him a smile as well.

"Look." He says while stepping closer.

He has his hands pressed together with a mini crab that's crawling in his hands. You smile down at it before nodding your head.

"It's a very cute crab, Namjoon." Namjoon smiles immediately at your words before he turns to Jungkook.

Jungkook lets out a soft laugh before shaking his head.

"Alright, turn this way, hyung." He says while angling Namjoon so that the sunset is facing him. You hear the click of the lens as he takes the picture. "Got it." He says before stepping towards Namjoon, showing him the photo.

"Ah, I love it!" he says before looking over at you. "Hey Y/N, do you want a sneak peak of this picture? I probably won't post it for a while on Twitter, but you'd be the first ARMY to see it." He grins.

You nod your head before slowly stepping closer to Jungkook.

You stand at a respectful distance from the boys as Jungkook shows you the photo.

You smile at the picture.

"It's a really nice picture, Jungkook. I like how you let the sunset shine on him. Very aesthetically pleasing." You say before smiling over at Namjoon. "And you look very cute in this picture, Namjoon."

Namjoon smiles, his eyes crinkling while Jungkook's eyes sparkle with pride as you tell him that you like the photo.

"Thank you." They both say. You smile and nod your head.

"Any time."

The boys are ready to start changing the conversation when you hear someone else coming in your direction.

"Hey guys-" the voice stops and so does your heart.

Hoseok.

The one who was acting weird around you on the flight.

"Oh... hi, Y/N." he shyly says. He scratches at the back of his neck and you feel a change in the mood between everyone standing here.

"Hi." You quietly say before awkwardly looking down at your feet.

"Uh... are you spending your time off relaxing at the beach?" Hoseok sparks conversation with you.

This causes you to look up at him and nod your head.

"Yeah. I was in my room for a bit but it felt like a waste of this beautiful scenery to stay in there and sleep." You say while gesturing towards the sunset and the water.

He nods his head.

"Yeah. I love getting out too. It doesn't matter how tired I get; I want to explore the places we get to see." He states.

You nod your head and give him a smile before a thought comes to mind.

"Oh! Now that I'm probably one of the few ARMYs who can talk to you about things, there was an idea I had for you." You state.

He raises his eyebrows, lips forming into a small 'o' shape as you say this.

"Jinjja?" he asks. You nod your head.

"Yeah. There's this cool dance challenge going around on TikTok." You state before reaching into your purse and grabbing your phone. You step towards him and show him the dance challenge. "And based on all of the ones I've seen so far I think you'd do really well at it!" you say while he examines the video.

You watch as his expression goes from surprised to concentrated as he stares down at the routine.

The look on his face causes you to feel a little intimidated by the man as you gulp.

Holy shit, I thought that he was intimidating in the videos they post of BTS's dance practices... but this is a whole other level of intimidating in person.

He places his fist under his chin as he rewatches the video a second time.

"Huh..." he says before nodding his head slowly. "I think I can do this but I have to make sure our manager approves of it first before I can post that." He states.

You nod your head.

"Yeah, I figured. Just thought I'd show you it since I know you like keeping up with the latest dance trends." You say as he hands you your phone back. You place your phone back into your purse.

"I really appreciate that, Y/N!" he says while giving you a bright smile.

Ah, there's the Hoseok I know.

"Hey... uh... where'd the other members go?" Hoseok suddenly says. You lift your eyebrows as you look around.

"Um... I don't know." You state.

"Ah, shit. Don't tell me that they left me again." He says before letting out a deep sigh.

"Nope!" you two suddenly hear.

When you both are ready to ask what's going on, you're interrupted by Jimin and Taehyung pouring water on Hoseok.

You widen your eyes and lift your eyebrows in shock as you watch Hoseok's reaction.

At first, he jumps a little and flinches from the shock of having cold water being poured on him.

Then, he opens his mouth widely, breathing heavily through his mouth as he reaches his hand up to run his fingers through his wet hair.

Oh...

And finally, he chases after Jimin and Taehyung who are running away from him while giggling.

"YAH! Why are you two embarrassing me in front of Y/N!" Hoseok states.

That's... odd.

He's concerned about being embarrassed in front of me?

You look at them curiously as you watch the chase happening.

They kind of resemble Tom and Jerry and that thought alone causes you to let out a soft laugh.

"Ah, the maknae line loves messing with Hoseok." Namjoon states while standing next to you.

You let out a soft laugh.

"You guys really are like a little family. Obviously, you have your own actual families but you guys are like a second family of just brothers." You state.

He nods his head.

"We're a pretty big family though. You forgot that ARMY is a part of that family, so it's a family of a lot of people." He says before grinning down at you.

You look up and see that the sun is fully gone now and it's completely dark.

You reach to your purse and grab your phone to look at the time.

"Gotta get some rest?" Namjoon asks, genuinely concerned.

You nod your head.

"Yeah. Gotta make sure I'm well-rested for the flight tomorrow." He nods his head.

"Alright. Do you want me to let you take one of our security to walk you to your room safely?" he asks while gesturing towards the many security guards watching as the boys fight.

You bite onto your lower lip before nodding your head.

"Only if that's okay."

"Of course it's okay." He states before calling one of the security guards over. "Do you think you can take Y/N to her hotel room? It's dark and she's not from here so we want to make sure she gets there safely."

"Who is she?" the guard asks immediately.

"Our flight stewardess. She made our flight from Korea to here very tolerable so we just want to make sure she's safe."

The guard nods before gesturing for you to walk with him.

"Thank you, Namjoon. Good luck at your show tomorrow afternoon!" you state. He smiles.

"Thank you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Y/N!" Jimin and Taehyung shout as they continue running from Hoseok.

You let out a soft laugh.

"Goodnight!" Jungkook says.

"Sweet dreams!" Hoseok says.

"Goodnight everyone!" you say before making your way with the security guard to your hotel.

Once you get to the hotel, you make your way towards the elevator.

"You need me to go in the elevator with you or are you okay?" the guard asks.

"I should be fine now, thank you." You say while bowing politely at him. He nods his head and reaches his hand into the elevator, pressing the button for the elevator doors to close so that you're the only person in this elevator as you go to your room.

You give him a small smile and wave at him as he waves back.

You make it to your room and immediately lock the door, turn the light on and lay on your bed.

I can't believe I was thinking about how Jungkook would love to do a film there and he actually ended up doing it.

It's crazy how well you get to know people through their music.

You shake your head as you think to yourself before you get up to brush your teeth, do your skincare, and get changed for bed.

After a few minutes, you end up falling asleep for the night.

*****
For everyone who doesn't know, Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday! It took us long enough because that should've been a holiday a long time ago but now we have it. Happy (late) Juneteenth.

I haven't seen many things jumping out to me on the news lately other than the heat wave going on. So everyone, please stay hydrated and wear your sunscreen (which you should be doing every day but even more now).

Also, happy (late) Father's Day in case any of my readers are fathers.

I love all of you. Please take care of yourselves.

Kim 💜
