Bae Ara

I throw my keys on the counter and lay down on my couch.

I didn't want to cry.

I mean....I barely know him.

I just can't help but worry.

Min Yoongi

I don't need her.

I don't need Ara.

I'll just find someone else.

"Yo!"

I turn around and see a group of guys smiling at me.

What is this?

Me?

"Come over here. You look lonely." A boy motions me over.

I look around and behind me. "Me?"

Are they talking to me?

They laugh.

One guy gets up and walks towards me.

Remember what Ara said-

Oh wait, who cares what she says.

The guy pats my back. "Yes you. You look cool. Come hang with us."

I look at him nervously and then look at his squad.

"Awh, come on. We don't bite. Hard." Another guy says and laughs.

The guy pushes me forward and I end up sitting between the two girls.

"What's your name?" Another boy asks, getting close.

He was getting really close.

I'm not so comfortable with this.

I think this is what....

Ara felt....

"Yo-Yoongi." I answer shyly.

"I'm Jungkook." The boy who asked me introduces.

"And I'm Hoseok." The boy says.

"I'm Namjoon, the dad of this group, haha."

"I'm V."

"I'm Jin."

"You look new, Yoongi. Let's show you our favorite hang out place." V helps me up and leads me to his truck.

Wow, a truck!

I never got to ride these before.

Ara didn't have a truck.

Am I being tricked?

Namjoon and Jin sit in the truck and everyone else climbs into the trunk.

The guy who still didn't tell me his name, holds out a hand. "Come on, it's fun."

I grab his hand and he pulls me up easily.

"By the way, I'm Jimin." He smiles at me and the truck starts.

We zoom through the streets and people on the sidewalk yelp in fear when we almost run them over.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

But whatever....

I'm happy.

We stop at a beach and the friends all jump off the truck.

Beach?

Water?

I'm back.

Where I started...

"Come on, Yoongi!" Jimin grabs my hands and helps me down. "This is a deserted beach. No one will know we're here, so go all out!"

I smile and run after him towards the water.

His friends all run into the water and start splashing each other with such elated faces.

They look so happy.

In the water.

I wanna try.

I run closer and closer to the water.

I stop.

When I see my reflection.

The last reflection I saw....

I had mint hair and ragged clothes.

This is the new me.

And water doesn't scare me anymore.

I throw off my shoes and jump into the water.

Jimin follows me in and splashes me.

Our fun goes on for awhile. Just splashing each other and having so much fun.

We all leave the water when we notice the sun setting.

"Let's make a campfire!" Jungkook yells and he runs towards some piles of wood under a tarp.

Everyone else follows him and so do I.

Jimin starts a fire really quickly and we all gather around the fire.

"So when are we going to sleep?" I yawn.

Everyone laughs.

"We don't sleep, Yoongi. Sleep is for the weak." Jungkook rests get head on my shoulder.

"Oh...ok." I look down and try to fight my weary eyes.

But I love sleep.

"Hey, I almost forgot." Namjoon stands up and looks at me. "We need to test your strength."

Everyone starts talking at once.

"I can't believe we forgot."

"Let's do it."

"I think he can handle it."

"He looks pretty strong."

"Do you have abs?"

I look around, lost. "What are you talking about?"

"Our group is very tight-knit." Jimin explains." We are a very tough group of people. We don't normally take people in, willy nilly. You're special and we need you to prove that to us."

Special?

Everyone nods.

"What do I need to do?"

I can do this.

If I want to be happy.

If I want to fit in.

If I want to loved.

If I want friends.

"You see that over there?" Jimin points to a very tall and broken structure beside the ocean.

I gulp. "I see it."

"You need to jump off of it and swim back to shore." The leader says. "It took me a total of 9 minutes to do it. The fastest, so I'm the leader."

"Can you do it?" V asks.

I stare at the structure.

I just need to jump off that.

And then I'll be happy.

That's my key.

To happiness.
