THE UNKNOWN STALKER PART 76...

The next day-

Y/n's pov-

The sun was already high, casting a golden shimmer across the water as I stood barefoot on the warm sand, my toes curling into it with every shift in weight. The ocean sparkled like a thousand diamonds laid out just for us. I tugged slightly at the strings of my light baby blue bikini, brushing back the wind-tangled strands of hair from my face as I felt the salty breeze kiss my skin.

Beside me, Seokjin stood tall in his dark swim shorts, his loose white shirt fluttering in the wind, unbuttoned and clinging slightly to his chest every time the wind paused. He was squinting at the ocean ahead, hands on his hips like he was about to conquer the whole damn sea.

We both stood still for a moment, admiring the vastness ahead of us, soaking in the morning calm before the chaos.

Then we turned to look at each other.

Then at the ocean.

Then back at each other again.

And like a movie scene perfectly in sync we screamed, "Let's goooooo!"

Our feet took off across the sand as we sprinted toward the water like two kids unleashed for the summer. The first splash of waves hit my ankles, cool and refreshing, and I laughed out loud, already chest-deep in the sea. Jin dove in with a dramatic splash, emerging seconds later with a grin that lit up the morning.

We swam around for a while, splashing each other, trying to dunk the other under, catching our breath between waves and laughter.

And then came the surfing- oh, the beautiful chaos of it.

Jin helped me get my balance as I awkwardly tried to stand up on the board. "Bend your knees! No, not like that-like this!" he yelled over the roar of the sea.

"You're enjoying this way too much!" I shouted back, laughing, my legs wobbling comically before I fell back into the waves with a splash.

He surfed like a pro though lean, steady, relaxed- and when he finally came riding toward the shore with that smug little smirk, I just splashed water at him in playful defeat.

"You're lucky I'm letting you win today," I joked as I treaded water next to him.

"Oh, so it's a competition now?" he said, raising an eyebrow, slicking his hair back with a grin.

"Everything's a competition when you're with me, Mr. Kim Seokjin."

He laughed, tipping his head back. "Challenge accepted, Miss Y/N."

We must've stayed in the water for hours. Time didn't feel real anymore just a blur of salt on skin, the burn of the sun on our backs, and laughter that echoed louder than the waves.

After every attempt to surf, we ended up either tumbling off the board or collapsing into the foam, catching our breath with our arms thrown over each other's shoulders. Somewhere in between the chaos and calm, it stopped feeling like two people just sharing a trip and more like two hearts dancing around something deeper. Something unspoken.

By early afternoon, we dragged ourselves out of the water, soaked and breathless, flopping onto the hot sand with our boards dug halfway in beside us. Jin laid flat on his back, chest rising and falling as he stared at the sky.

"I think my shoulders are gonna file a complaint against me," he muttered, shielding his eyes with his hand.

I laughed, rolling onto my stomach beside him, chin resting on my arms. "You're just mad you didn't get a perfect ten on your last ride."
