YoU ArE OnLy MiNe || YOONMIN~FF ?

? Part - 34 ?

Taehyung thought for a moment before saying, “Kind of like how music makes me feel.”

Jimin turned to him with a warm smile. “Yeah, just like that.”

As they continued walking, the sky slowly changed colors. Shades of orange, pink, and purple painted the horizon, making the ocean glow under the sunset. The golden light reflected in Jimin’s eyes as he stared in awe.

“It’s beautiful,” he whispered, as if afraid that speaking too loudly would break the magic of the moment.

Taehyung followed his gaze and nodded. “It really is.”

For a while, they simply stood there, watching the sun sink lower into the sea. The waves moved gently, the world feeling calm and quiet around them.

It was a perfect, peaceful moment—one they would remember forever.

Taehyung and Jimin were still walking along the shoreline, their feet sinking slightly into the cool, wet sand with each step. The salty breeze tousled their hair as they chatted about the beauty of the sunset, their laughter blending with the soothing crash of the waves.

However, amidst their carefree wandering, fate had other plans.

With a sudden jolt, Taehyung collided with someone, his body stumbling slightly from the unexpected impact. His eyes widened in surprise as he turned to see who it was.

A man stood before him, his expression mirroring the same momentary shock. Their gazes locked, and for a brief second, time seemed to slow. A mix of astonishment, concern, and familiarity flickered through the stranger’s deep-set eyes.

Taehyung, always quick to recover, straightened himself and immediately offered an apology, his voice laced with sincerity.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr.—" he started, his lips parting as he glanced at the man.

The stranger, however, was already shaking his head with a small smile. "It's okay, no problem." His voice was calm, reassuring.

But then, something shifted in his expression. His eyes studied Taehyung a little longer before a flicker of recognition sparked in them.

"Wait… you’re Taehyung, right?" he asked, tilting his head slightly, as if confirming a memory.

Taehyung’s brows furrowed in confusion, his mind scrambling to place the familiarity in the man's face. He searched his thoughts for a connection until, suddenly, realization dawned.

"Wait a second… Kai?" Taehyung’s voice held a mix of surprise and recognition.

The man grinned, nodding. "Yes, I’m Kai."

A warm smile spread across Kai’s face, the kind that spoke of old memories and past friendships. "Long time no see, Taehyung. How have you been?"

Taehyung let out a small chuckle, still a little surprised. "I’ve been good. What about you?"

"I’m doing well," Kai responded, his tone carrying a relaxed ease.

As if just remembering, Kai’s gaze shifted to Jimin, standing quietly beside Taehyung, watching the exchange with curious eyes.

Taehyung, noticing the silent inquiry, quickly turned to Jimin with a smile. "Oh! Kai, this is my best friend, Jimin."

Kai immediately extended his hand, his expression friendly. "Ohh, hi Jimin. Nice to meet you."

Jimin, ever polite, returned the handshake with a soft smile. "Hello, nice to meet you too."

The handshake was brief, but the warmth of the gesture reflected mutual respect.
