"Alright Faye, where are we going first?" Jimin licked his lips as he stared at the frowning girl.

"Do you really think Jungkook and Sora won't do anything?" Faye crossed her arms. "I don't trust them."

"Baby, they're not the one's you should be worried about." He flirtatiously winked, before she pushed his chest back.

"Why are you like this?" Faye rolled her eyes. "You don't seem worried about you and Sora at all."

"Listen. My marriage is perfectly fine. Sora and I love each other, but didn't you hear the guy?" Jimin lowered his brows as they walked outside. "He told you to get rid of all the lust you have."

"Great advice..." She walked at a faster pace, leaving him behind.

"Well, you're kind of stuck with me for the whole day so be fucking nice." Jimin playfully nudged her shoulder. "Plus, I'm sure Sora's enjoying her time."

"Are you trying to piss me off?" Faye turned him.

"No." Jimin rolled his eyes. "It's a joke. I'm trying to take your mind off of things."

"Well it's not gonna work." Faye sighed as she sat on the sand.

"We'll see about that." Jimin muttered, as he sat next to her, taking in the beautiful scenery.

"This Randy guy has to be on drugs or something, because I don't see why he thinks this is a good idea." Sora sighed as she followed Jungkook to the aquarium, located at the resort itself.

Jungkook's always loved animals since he was little, and so has Sora. They both shared so many things in common with one another, but little did they know the saying opposites attract was said for a reason.

"Hello." A friendly girl rushed towards them as they walked to the front desk. "How's the lovely couple enjoying their stay?"

"We're not together." Jungkook and Sora sighed at the same time.

"Oh." The girl furrowed her brows, thinking they must be cheating on their partners. "How can I assist you two?"

"We're just here to look around, without the whole group tour thing." Jungkook gave her a weak smile.

"So, you don't want the love package?" The girl asked, confused by this whole thing.

"N-no." Jungkook squinted his eyes. "We just want to see the damn animals."

"Fine." She grabbed two tickets from under the counter and placed it in Jungkook's hand.

"Thanks." Jungkook raised his brows. "Let's go in here first."

Sora followed him into the exhibit room, as they observed the tanks of water in front of them. She couldn't keep her mind off all the problems, but knew that she had to keep Jungkook distracted.

"Oh my god, Jungkook." Sora covered her mouth as her eyes widened.

"What?" He frowned, glancing over his shoulder.

"There's a spider on your shoulder." She stepped back, hiding behind a bench.

Jungkook glanced down, and casually flicked the bug off his shirt, carrying on with his day like nothing happened. Sora stared at him with widened eyes.

"You aren't scared of spiders?" She raised a brow.

"Nothing scares me. " He unintentionally boasted.

"Woah, Jeongguk the muscle pig." She playfully hit his arm.

"Sorry, that sounds conceited." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I meant I just don't get scared as often as you'd think."

"You're so apologetic." She chuckled.

"Sorry." He sighed, closing his eyes after realizing he said it again.

"You shouldn't always apologize." Sora kindly tried teaching him a life lesson. "Learn to have faith in yourself and your answers."

"You went from a classmate to my mother in two seconds, I'm impressed." Jungkook joked, as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Sometimes your classmate needs to help pick you up when you fall." Sora gave him a shy smile.

Jungkook smiled back, before stopping in front of her. "How about we go back to the hotel to change so that we can have a nice dinner. I needed advice on how to fix my relationship with Faye anyway."

"That'd be great." Sora's lips curved into a soft smile as they both walked out together.

"I'm so sick of staring at the fucking ocean." Jimin groaned. "I'd rather see my grandma naked."

Faye lowered her brows, looking over at him. "Don't know how to reply to that."

"No need to." Jimin scoffed, as he rested back on his elbows. "That sandy dude didn't send us out here to just sit and stare at each other for twenty hours, so let's actually make this time worth while."

"It's Randy." Faye mumbled.

"I don't fucking care." Jimin mockingly spat as he flipped himself onto his stomach. "What I do care about is my empty abdomen."

"Wow, I'm surprised you know that word." Faye rolled her eyes.

"I'm hungry, so get the fuck up before I drag you myself." Jimin stood, as he held his hand out.

"Why so aggressive?" She dusted the sand off her arms.

"Because you're so stubborn." Jimin mumbled as they began to walk along the dark boardwalk. "Jeez no wonder Jungkook could never handle you women..

"You and your sexist comments." Faye slowly shook her head, as he glanced over at her.

"I already know I'm sexy, you don't have to tell me twice Faye." Jimin spoke with a louder voice, trying to piss her off.

"Is there a mute button somewhere on you?" Faye looked around his body.

"What happened to you?" Jimin's expression changed.

Faye raised her brow, knowing she'd be offended by what he had to say. "I'm sorry—?"

"You were so cool when I first met you, and now you're all sensitive and shit." Jimin harshly spoke, as Faye narrowed her eyes. "If you're just gonna be another bitch, should've warned me before hand."

"You're such a fucking dick." Faye shouted as she turned around.

"Faye, wait." Jimin caught her wrist, pulling her back to him but her hands pushed him away.

"Don't fucking touch me." She shouted in the middle of the boardwalk, as the rest of the couples stared.

Faye ran as far as her legs could take her, walking into a nearby diner to have some time alone and away from everyone. The place was crowded, not exactly what she was looking for, but good enough.

She walked towards the hostess, ready to ask for a table of one when her eyes suddenly shifted to the table in the back. Jungkook sat across from Sora, while the two of them laughed as their hands were intertwined. Faye's eyes began to water when she slowly took a step back, turning away through the doors. Her watery eyes soon turned to crying sobs while she covered her face with her sleeves, racing out of the diner before they'd see her.

Strangers stared at bee as they heard sobbing, but never bother comforting her as she walked quickly along the boardwalk in the dark. The bright store signs were the only source of light she had, to find the hotel and leave. She wiped underneath her red eyes, when she cane crashing into someone's arms.

Faye looked up at Jimin through her lashes, silent as she tried to hide her tears in front of him. Jimin pushed her arms away from her face, pulling them down to her side. "Why are you crying? What the hell happened Faye?" He lifted her chin after not getting any answers."If it's about what I said, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have—"

"Jungkook's cheating on me." She bit her bottom lip, before lowering her head in her hands.

"W-What?" Jimin's mouth parted as he scratched his arm. "What did you see? with who?"

"Sora." Faye whimpered, as she choked on her breath.

"Sir, is everything okay?" A concerned woman came to their side, pushing Jimin away from Faye. "Is he bothering you?"

"Mind your own fucking business." Jimin angrily snapped, furious from the news he heard.

"Jimin, I need to get out of here." She wiped the tears away, but they kept falling. "I have to get my children and leave."

"Faye w—

"Don't." Faye shouted, burning her lungs as they were already worn out from her harsh breathing.

"Stop trying to save the fucking day!" She yelled with pain in her voice, before turning away.

"At least let me walk you back." Jimin held onto her arm. "I can't let you walk alone like this."

Faye didn't say anything as they walked back, and neither did Jimin. The only sound, was the one of her sobbing.

She quickly hit the elevator button, wrapping her arms around her shivering body as she waited for the door to open. They both step inside, quietly standing apart from one another. As soon as the doors opened, she rushed to her and Jungkook's room and began throwing her clothes into her suitcase. Jimin closed the door behind him as he took a seat on the king sized bed, watching while Faye packed her things.

"Can you stop packing and explain to me what the hell happened?" Jimin rested his elbows on his knees as he frustratedly pulled at his hair.

Faye wrinkled a shirt she had in her hand. "I went into the diner to see Jungkook and Sora holding hands across the table while fucking giggling at each other." She angrily shouted with tears in her eyes.

"He touched Sora? That fucking son of a bitch." Jimin stood from the bed, as Faye quickly grabbed onto his shirt.

"Please don't hurt him." She begged as a tear fell onto her cheek. "and don't approach him either, I don't want things to get worse."

"Get out of my fucking way." Jimin angrily scoffed as he nudged her hand off his shoulder. "You don't think I was actually gonna let that fucking bastard off the hook, did you?"

"Jimin." Faye grabbed onto his arms again, scared of his fuming temper. "I know you're mad, but just sit down for two seconds."

She slowly pushed him onto the bed, holding his shoulders down as his hot breath hit her arms.

"I can't let you go out there and do something that you'll regret." Faye used her sleeve to wipe away a falling tear, before quickly placing her hand back on his shoulder. "Please." She cried out after he shoved her arms away from him.

Faye hated Jungkook right now, but she couldn't watch someone hurt him. Jimin was beyond mad, looking to take his anger out on someone else.

She takes the risk and turns him by his shoulder as he approaches the door. Jimin's eyes concentrated on Faye and the only thing she could do, was press her lips against his. But as Faye closed her eyes, she pictured those lips as Jungkook's.

"You don't need to tell anyone what you guys do."
