Third Person POV

"No, I insist," Win said to Taehyung as he struggled to stand up from his sitting position on the sand. "Stay right here. I'll be right back."

"Alright, just be careful," Taehyung said resignedly, allowing Win to use his shoulder as support while Win straightened himself from his sitting position.

Taehyung bit off a piece of the grilled beef strip over which he had poured a bit of the spicy vinegar. He chewed on the beef strip while watching Win zigzag his way to the table where the bottles of water and other drinks were set down earlier by Jin and Namjoon.

Taehyung watched anxiously as Win almost tripped over a small rock jutting out from the sand. Win managed to get to the table without further incident. He reached for an eight ounce bottle of water. While doing so, Win turned to where he last saw Bright and Jungkook chatting while eating their food. They were no longer in that spot. Where the hell did they go.

"Look how beautiful the horizon is," Jungkook pointed to where the sky was splashed with different hues of orange as the sun slowly made its exit from the sky.

"Let's watch the sun set over there by that big rock that's close to the water," Bright suggested. "Can you walk that far? Does your left leg still hurt?"

"No, I'm fine now," Jungkook replied as he stood from the beach chair. He felt excited about Bright's invitation to watch the sun set with him, farther away from the rest of the crowd.

Bright took Jungkook's and his own empty paper plates and empty tumblers. 

Jungkook waited and watched as Bright walked over to where the large trash bin stood a distance from where the Yoongi and J-Hope were grilling the last few pieces of beef strips and jumbo squids.

"Are you sure you're not in any more pain?" Bright asked anxiously as Jungkook winced a little when he took the first few steps to where the big rocks where.

"I'm fine," Jungkook assured Bright.

Suddenly Jungkook turned to Bright and said, "Race you to the rocks!"

Bright was surprised at how fast Jungkook was on his legs. Bright tried to sprint past Jungkook but Jungkook went even faster.

Jungkook touched the rock, breathing hard as he waited for Bright to reach it.

"I'm the winner!" Jungkook announced with a big smile. "What reward do I get for winning the race?"

Bright pulled Jungkook behind the big rock.

"This," Bright replied, grabbing Jungkook's neck and planting a kiss on Jungkook's lips.

Jungkook placed his arms around Bright's waist, savoring the feel of Bright's warm luscious lips.

"What's the matter?" Taehyung asked Win as Win sat back beside Taehyung on the sand.

Taehyung noticed that Win had a troubled look and was wiping away traces of wetness on his cheeks.

"Wait, have you been crying? What took you so long to come back here? And why are you holding another bottle of soju instead of a  bottle of water?" Taehyung's questions came one after another. "I thought you had gone for a bottle of water instead of soju," Taehyung added. "To wash away the alcohol from your system, you know. Because you said that you're a lightweight."

Win did not answer but just looked straight ahead as he kept drinking from the bottle of soju, wincing after each swallow of the alcoholic beverage.

"Win, talk to me," Taehyung said anxiously. "Please. Whatever it is, you have to get it off your chest. I promise to listen carefully and with sympathy. I am a good listener, you know."

"I ... hic ... hic ... I walked over there," Win started to say.

Taehyung turned his head to where Win was pointing. Win was pointing to a big rock jutting from the sand, close to the water.

"Okay, so you walked over there ... and then what happened," Taehyung prompted Win.

"I ... I saw ... hicc ... " Win could not continue. He started sobbing into Taehyung's shoulder.

Taehyung placed his arms around Win, running his hands gently up and down Win's back.
