"I remember like it was yesterday..." Hoseok went on, drying his own tears the best way he could while Taehyung guided his hand up and down his shoulder carefully to comfort him. Even Taehyung knew the man wasn't himself since he couldn't bring himself to call the creation right by his side, the little nickname he never dared to associate with Jungkook, 'my little android', just a few words that always seemed to mean so much in Jungkook's world even if it was something so insignificant to the ones that were called those sweet words.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying... I remember Seokjin and I working side by side together for many years... like it was yesterday. I was so close to that man and we fell apart because I believed Jungkook could be something greater... even if he injured that worker out of jealousy and envy, I knew Jungkook was something that had its flaws... he was different from you... from others and the rest of the androids we made... he thought on his own and he was that one in a million," Hoseok went on and continued to dry his tears until Taehyung patted his shoulder softly.

"Can I comfort you?" Taehyung asked as Hoseok nodded his head almost instantly. There, the android hugged him and soothed his thoughts with just a gentle embrace.

Hoseok didn't think much of this, he only thought that these were the things Jungkook lacked, at least, that's what he thought. Jungkook was capable of comforting just like this, just not with Hoseok. Park Jimin was the one who managed to bring out the difference in the way Hoseok perceived him, the man just didn't know and believed Jungkook was incapable of doing it all.

"I can't let Seokjin just throw that creation away... Jeon Jungkook is something different... and maybe we just didn't have the chance to see more of him. I'm sure... I'm sure there's a version of him that is loved... I'm sure Jimin sees that side of him every day and Jungkook drops all of his flaws just for the human he is bound to," the man continued, no longer sobbing to himself as his emotions of Seokjin taking away the android become so numb at the moment. "There's more to that journal of his... I'm completely sure that there is..."

"Maybe there is... if you can be able to fix him with Seokjin, then I don't have to stress about the fact that he might hurt Jimin. But yet again... my creator sounded very convinced about taking Jungkook apart..."

"He was serious, I'll give you that... but if I can promise to return to him, if I can promise our past to become the present now, he will listen. Because at the end of the day, I know Kim Seokjin is human and even humans tend to hate the feeling of being more alone than before. He missed me even if he tried so hard not to."

Taehyung tried to make sense of the things he wasn't built to understand. He couldn't get jealous that Jungkook was able to grasp onto most things and he couldn't, he only remained there, trying to process and play off many ways to gloss over this situation like he was normally made out to do. On the other hand, there was never a moment where he longed to break away from Hoseok since he longed to comfort him, appreciate him and be there for him. Taehyung was drawn to this human all because he knew he was a good person deep down when in reality, Hoseok heavily doubted that idea.

The two continued to lay there; Taehyung listened to many things but couldn't understand it completely while Hoseok remained in the arms of the android, no longer dwelling on the many horrid tears that came to him with such guilt tempting to drown him. He was calm and the only thing he had to worry about was the headache still pounding on his head along with the fear of what Seokjin would say. But no matter what, Seokjin always had a weak spot for his right hand man.

After driving for quite a while, Jungkook finally pulled up to the same spot on the beach where he and Jimin showed up to before. It was a secret place where almost no one showed up because of the cold weather, so it belonged to the both of them. For now, they were the only ones on the beach as if this was a whole new world for them.

Jimin of course, still had his head in the clouds where he just couldn't think of anything else but Jungkook. He longed to escape the world and stay in a place far away with his partner and today was going to be a valuable day to him, in fact, it was going to be the first time in a while where he would finally move on and tell another how much he loves him.

Just the thought of saying the word 'love' in a sentence was just enough to leave Jimin blushing long after the song stopped playing through the stereo. Once Jungkook parked the car and looked to the direction where his partner sat, he made a heartwarming smile before running his hand up to caress the side of his human's face. He never knew how badly he longed to have what Jimin had, but every second, he tried his best to push it away and be a better creation for his partner and only for him.

"Do you want to step out?" Jungkook asked softly with the hum of his voice soothing Jimin's doubtful thoughts and accusations that tended to hang around the back of his head at that very moment. "Walk around for a bit?"

With just the subtle caress on the side of his gentle and pale face, Jimin smiled to himself and finally nodded his head.

"Okay!" Jimin replied happily, trying his best to hide the apples of his cheeks turning red. Yet, he knew this was something Jungkook became weak to, the sight of Jimin blushing and giggling to himself was enough to stop the android in place and admire him longer than anyone could ever try to.

As the two stepped out of the car and began to walk along the cold beach together, they held hands and remained close to each other to the point where Jimin kept his head resting over his Android's shoulder every step of the way. The morning cool breeze was gentle, the cold waves crashed onto the small frozen sand and the skies kept the bright blue color Jimin was constantly reminded of his beloved's chilling blue gaze. Yet, he only looked over at his lover's pink gaze and instantly ignored all other thoughts for that split second. But it didn't leave his head at all.

"There's something about... coming here in the cold mornings that makes this moment so special. I can't feel the cold... but I love being in this moment with you. I hope the weather isn't bothering you, if it does, I can give you my jacket," whispered the android as his gaze latched onto the ocean from afar.

"I'll be fine for now, Jungkook. I'm just glad to be here with you! It feels great to finally leave that house and go somewhere for a fresh breath of air... you don't know how happy I am to be here today."

"Should I take you out here often?"

"Maybe not here... maybe other places but let's not go here too much or else it won't be so special. I want this to be a special place for us," Jimin continued. Happily listening to the cold sand crushing underneath his boots.

"It already holds a special place for us, Jimin. This is where we had our first kiss," Jungkook replied and finally peeled his gaze away from the ocean before latching his pink gaze onto his beloved who always carried such a breathtaking smile. "No matter how many times we come here, we will always find this place special."

"You always know the best words to say, I didn't think of it like this... I just don't want to overuse this place, won't it lose its value?"

"I don't think so... you can get tired of this place one day but it will always be valuable through the memory," Jungkook assured and held Jimin's hands in between the palms of his own carefully. Turning on the heater built into his system in order to keep Jimin's gentle hand warm. "You should bring gloves next time, don't be so careless~"

"I was in a rush to go somewhere with you, I just forgot!" Jimin softly giggled right after. "Your hands are very careful... warm and comforting, why don't you hold my hand more often?"

"I don't hold your hand often, but I always bring you closer to my body every chance that I get."

"That's right," Jimin replied and allowed silence to carry on the conversation while the cold waves filled the gaps in between. All Jimin could hear at that very moment was the beat of his own heart competing with the wind in order to stand out more when Jungkook held his hand within his own warm palms. Compared to Jungkook's, Jimin's hand was smaller, but fit so perfectly with his Android's touch, this was going to be the smallest detail Jimin would never want to forget.

By the time they slowed down at a certain spot at the beach, Jimin walked forward and continued to look ahead while Jungkook stood a few feet behind him. Thinking only of his beloved but also, trying his best to hide the guilt he had building up after all this time. It was as if every second he spent with Jimin was a constant reminder of the guilt he tried to hide. Not really understanding that this was what true love really did to him. He was constantly trying to hold back on telling the ugly truth that now, he feared revealing it all in just a second. But he was willing to put up a good fight for now.

On the other hand, there Jimin stood, not doing much but making every significant effort in Jungkook's head that left him weak in the battle. The view, the ocean, the moment, it all looked so precious because Jimin was in the picture. With that, Jungkook's heart began to pound and the human definition of love came to mind. At the same time, Jimin was gathering up the courage to confess to his android. This was going to be a special moment for him after being abandoned before, he just hoped history wouldn't repeat himself. He promised his heart that Jungkook wasn't going anywhere and that was what he believed in.

"Jungkook..." Jimin spoke out as he finally looked back to catch the android, never daring to peel his gaze away for more than a second.

"Yes, Jimin?" Jungkook asked, finally silencing the loud guilt he had building up inside of him when Jimin wasn't distracting him from it all.

"Jungkook... I wanted to tell you something that I should have said a while back..." Jimin mentioned as he walked up to the android and ran his hands up his arms until he set them over his shoulders carefully. Always admiring the firm build of his body that reminded him of the many nights he would be comforted. "But... I didn't want to say it until I knew you would stay... and you wouldn't leave me like my parents did... like... Yoongi did..."

"Jimin, don't say things like that... I will never leave you! Tell me, what is it?" Jungkook asked, finally raising his hands up to cup Jimin's soft face and looking into his eyes carefully. Exchanging precious gazes and subtle touches was their love language when words became too much to say.

"Jeon Jungkook... I..." Jimin hesitated at first before he knew he could put his fears aside. Just the silence and still moment of speaking their own language by looking into his partner's bright pink eyes, was enough to assure him of their own forever. "I... I love you..." the human whispered, allowing a curl to his lip to serve as a soft smile and the gleam in his eyes to form a tear in order to finally let go of his doubts of being left alone again. Jimin didn't care now, he knew what love was when he felt it and no longer feared being alone when Jungkook was the one he trusted his heart with.

The sound of Jimin's voice saying those three special words to the android left Jungkook speechless. Was this what it felt like when someone really loved him and expressed the true meaning of the word he longed to hear? The creation couldn't recall the last time he had heard the actual use of the word being said with his own name in a sentence. There, Jungkook began to tear up almost instantly until sobs began to escape from his lips. Finally being able to feel more human with such comfort of the words holding him close to his partner but also, drowning him in the guilt that has been bothering him from the start where, he just couldn't hide it anymore.
