Standing on the seashore with your toes sinking into the wet sand, you felt like you were balanced on the edge of a precipice. If you took a step forward, everything would change. One step forward, and you would fall. And if you fell, you would eventually land. There was a significant chance the landing would be hard, that it would break you into a million pieces. But there was also a chance that someone would catch you. He was just waiting for you to take that step.

“Are you coming? Or are you going to stand on the beach all day?” Jimin called back to you, already waist-deep in the lapping water. Sunlight reflected off the water droplets on his shirtless, toned back, giving the impression that he was shimmering.

Sighing, you grasped the hem of your coverup and pulled it up over your head. Tossing your garment aside, you lingered at the water’s edge in your swimsuit, still trying to decide what to do.

Jimin was up to his chest now, and was turned around to face you. His eyes were narrowed against the bright sun, but you could tell he was observing you carefully. His penetrating gaze made you feel naked and exposed - body and soul.

With a deep breath, you made up your mind, and took one step forward.

The clear seawater swelled around your ankles, pleasantly cool and refreshing, and you looked up to find Jimin smiling encouragingly at you. So you took another step. And another, wading further and further into the aquamarine depths, hoping with each step that you were in for a soft landing - and that you hadn’t just made a devastating mistake.

As you drew near to Jimin, he paddled toward you, meeting you halfway.

“Everything all right?” He asked, still wearing a smile, but there was a hint of amusement behind it now.

You nodded insincerely, your toes barely brushing the sandy bottom as you slowly kicked your feet, treading water.

Jimin immediately picked up on your mood. He slipped closer, his grin fading as his eyes slowly filled with concern.

“You’re not afraid, are you?”

“Not of the ocean.” You mumbled.

Jimin lifted a hand out of the water, reaching for your face. He touched your cheek lightly, wiping a few drops of saltwater away before lowering his hand again.

“Don’t be scared.” He tried to comfort you. “I’m right here, and I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise.”

You didn’t say anything, and the silence grew heavy as you both bobbed in the gently rolling waves. Jimin was so close, your legs nearly tangled together beneath the water as you tried to stay afloat. He was looking so deeply into your eyes, you felt like he could see right through you.

Jimin’s presence was overwhelming, the radiant beauty of his bare face even more apparent from this proximity. You tried to calm yourself, but each breath you took was shallower than the last - and Jimin’s heavy breathing only added to your difficulty.

After a long moment, Jimin’s eyes finally broke contact with yours, and his gaze traveled down to your mouth. Slowly, the space between you began disappearing, until Jimin’s face was only a hair away from yours. You suddenly realized what he was about to do, but before his gloriously full lips could brush yours, you stopped him.

“Don’t.” You exhaled.

Jimin paused, then pulled back the slightest bit.

“Don’t what?” He asked, his breath warm on your face.

“Don’t get my hopes up.” You replied, sinking down in the water, letting the surface reach your chin.

Jimin smiled faintly, but his furrowed brow betrayed his confusion. He tilted his head, waiting for an explanation.

“Don’t kiss me if you don’t mean it.” You clarified.

Jimin scoffed in surprise, his eyes widening.

“You think I would kiss you if I didn’t mean it?”

You shook your head.

“No, that’s not… I’m not talking about how you feel in this moment. Maybe you do really want to kiss me right now but... if it’s only a kiss to you, and nothing more… I’d rather you didn’t kiss me at all.”

The corners of Jimin’s mouth turned down.

“Is that what you think? You think I would kiss you so carelessly?”

“No, not intentionally… I know you never mean to hurt anyone, but…”

“But what?” Jimin asked, his expression so open and innocent it tugged on your heartstrings.

“I have feelings for you, Jimin.” You found yourself confessing before you could think better of it. “Real feelings. I have for a long time. So unless you really mean it, please… don’t kiss me. Because I don’t think my heart could take it.”

Jimin blinked slowly. When he spoke, his voice was just above a whisper.

“You have feelings for me?”

You nodded, unable to meet his gaze.

Jimin touched your cheek again, turning your face to look at him.

“And what makes you so sure I don’t have real feelings for you?” He breathed, the hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Your heart throbbed at his words - and at his touch.

“Because that would be too good to be true.” You admitted, not understanding why your response made Jimin’s smile grow.

“Haven’t you noticed how I light up every time you… every time you look at me? Every time you touch me?” He lifted his eyebrows.

You shrugged, looking away again.

“You act that way around everyone. It’s just how you are.”

Jimin giggled lightly.

“Is it really so hard to believe that I’m in love with you?”

Your breath caught.

“Love?” You checked, when you remembered how to inhale.

Jimin’s eyes sparkled, and he nodded.

“Yes. I’m in love with you. So in love.” He confirmed, color blossoming on his cheeks. “I’m sorry, I should have told you sooner… Much sooner. But I was afraid you didn’t see me that way.”

Your kicking feet slowed to a stop, and you unconsciously held onto Jimin’s shoulders to keep yourself steady in the water. His hands held your arms securely.

“I’ve always seen you that way.” You told Jimin, sure your incredulity was plain on your face and in your tone. “I thought you didn’t see me that way.”

Jimin smirked, leaning in as he spoke.

“I guess we were both wrong.”

With his eyes falling shut, he let his hands glide across your skin. Wrapping his arms around you, he held you against his body as he lowered his head.

But just as before, you didn’t let his mouth reach yours.

“Wait. Are you sure?” You laid a hand flat on his chest, holding him back. “I mean, if you kiss me… Everything will change between us. There’s no going back.”

Jimin let go of a held breath, his eyes opening.

“I know.” He agreed. “I’m nervous, too.”

Feeling his heart beat forcefully against your palm, you knew he was telling the truth. Your heart was pounding just as much.

“As sure as I am about my feelings, there’s no knowing what the future holds.” Jimin continued, his hands massaging your back beneath the water. “It’s possible we’re better off as friends, and we might ruin our friendship if we take this step.”

You nodded solemnly, the idea of losing Jimin’s friendship causing a knot to form in your stomach.

Jimin carefully removed one hand from your back, churning the water as he moved. He wrapped his fingers around your hand, gently pulling it from his chest.

“But it’s also possible we’re meant to be more than friends. That the universe brought us together. And that thought excites me as much as it scares me.” He said, lifting your arm to place a kiss on the inside of your wrist.

The sensation of Jimin’s lips on your skin made you shudder. You drew in a shaky breath.

“So what are we supposed to do? If we’re both scared, and knowing those are the possibilities?”

Jimin looked into your eyes, sliding your hand behind his neck.

“Just let me love you.” He murmured, drawing near once again, his nose bumping your nose and his breath mixing with yours.

But this time, when he tried to kiss you, you didn’t stop him.

This time, you welcomed Jimin, guiding his face until your mouths carefully connected.

And just like that, your whole world changed.

Though your walk into the water had been a metaphorical step over the edge, this kiss was a running leap. But as you’d secretly hoped, Jimin was right there to catch you. And he was holding on tight.

His arms fully encircling you again, Jimin pressed your lips together tenderly, kissing you slowly and sweetly. Wanting to be even closer, you wrapped your legs firmly around his waist, clutching his neck, and you both sank down until Jimin’s feet touched the ocean floor. The water’s surface covered his shoulders, but neither of you were concerned. You were too lost in each other, your mouths moving together like they were always meant to meet. And when Jimin tangled his fingers into your hair and delicately licked your lips, you opened yourself up to him, inviting the increased passion.

The deeper the kiss became, the deeper you fell, and the farther all your worries and fears fled. Being with Jimin in this way felt natural, effortless, and right - and so amazingly good. His lips were softer and smoother and gentler than you’d ever imagined, and you could feel how he was pouring his heart into showing you how much he meant everything he had expressed. He loved you. He really did. And you loved him, too. With everything you had.

It was true you couldn’t know what the future would bring, but in the same way Jimin pulled you tighter as he kissed you, refusing to let you drift away in the water’s current, you knew he would never let you hit rock bottom. Knowing he loved you, you believed that he would always be there. You trusted that he would ensure a soft landing for you.

All you had to do was brave the fall - and just let him love you.
