"Look at this place. IT'S REAL! I'M FINALLY HERE!" Hyun Ae said, grabbing her boyfriend's arm and dragged him.

"Shh... babe. There are people here," Namjoon spoke softly, not to get people's attention on him.

"Well, you brought me here, and do you expect me to just stand and react nothing to THIS?" she whispered, gesturing her hand to the area where there were many people, taking pictures by the Jumunjin Beach.

"It's just a bus stop," he grunted, looking over at the bus stop in front of them that was swarmed by people.

Well, international ARMYs to be exact.

"Just a bus stop? Just... a... bus stop?" Hyun Ae chortled, rolling her eyes as she began to explain. "This is where BTS had their photoshoot for 'You Never Walk Alone' album jacket!"

Namjoon couldn't help but to giggle at her and pulled down his face mask. "Babe, look at who are you talking to."

"Ah... right. Stupid me, but still! It's not just any stop! You guys did the shoot here! And that beach, was where Jimin shot the scene in 'Spring Day', right?"

"Yes, babe, you're right. I almost forgot that you're an ARMY too," he smiled, poking her nose with his finger.

He let out a sigh and looked over to the bus stop. And there were still many fans, taking photos with it. "You want me to take a picture of you there?"

"Of course! But I wanna be with you in it," Hyun Ae pouted, wrapping her arms around his.

"Okay, we'll ask someone around to take it for us."

"Is it okay for you?" she asked, worrying a bit if her request was too much.

"Yeah, of course. Don't worry, BigHit had released a statement to 'not bother BTS' for this whole week if fans see us outside or actions would be taken against them."

"Well, I'm a fan too, remember?"

"But you're my one and only special fan, remember?" Namjoon whispered, then planted a kiss on her forehead.

They had waited for over fifteen minutes and once it was their turn, Namjoon immediately grabbed her hand.

"Oh, let's go," he said, pulling her to the bench at the bus stop and sitting her down. He looked at the nearest group of girls and reached her. "Hey um... excuse me?"

"Yes- OH RM!" one of the girls startled, covering her mouth in shock to see Namjoon before her eyes.

The rest of the group began to murmur in excitement to see one of the BTS there, acknowledging their presence.

"It's an honor to see you! Are you alone- oh," the girl paused as Namjoon stepped aside a bit, revealing Hyun Ae who was sitting on the bench, taking her selfies.

"Is that Park Hyun Ae? She's so pretty in real life," one of the other girls said, giggling with the others.

"Yes, she is. Um, can you help us by taking the photos?" Namjoon requested, giving her his camera and his phone.

"Oh, I AM SO HONORED TO DO SO! Go, sit there by her. Do a few poses, we'll take as much as I could!" the girl said, happily taking the camera and the phone.

She gave the camera to her friend as all of them began to stand on a spot, while Namjoon went back to Hyun Ae and sat beside her.

The girls were getting excited by every shot they took as if they were fangirling over the couple.

"WE ARE SUCH LUCKY FANS! YOU GUYS BETTER TREAT ME LUNCH SINCE I BROUGHT ALL OF YOU HERE WITH ME!" the girl said to her friends after she took the last shoot and both Namjoon and Hyun Ae had approached her.

"Thank you so much!" Namjoon thanked, taking his camera and phone back.

"No problem! For BTS, we can do anything! Have a nice day, RM-ssi, Hyun Ae-ssi!"

With that, both of them left the bus stop area and walked towards the beach.

"Now that's a good fan," Namjoon said, going through all the photos that were taken by the girls.

"See? Not all fans are bad. Now, now. Let's go to the sea!" Hyun Ae excitedly said, as she quickly made her way toward the shore after taking off her sandals and grabbing it.

"Wait, babe! It's cold-"

"Nah, it'll be fine! I'm a Busan kid, the sea is my friend!"

"Don't get your feet wet!"

"I know!" she shouted back and pulled out her phone, taking a few selfies again.

Then she turned to the sea and took a few steps forward, despite knowing Namjoon disagreed with the idea since he had reminded her earlier before they even arrived.

She looked down at the shore and stood right at where the wave would reach its limit on the shore. She aimed her phone camera down at her feet. "Just a photo- WOAH!"

Hyun Ae fell on her butt when the sea wave washed the shore and hit her legs, which made her lose her balance and startled her. Then she laughed when Namjoon ran to her.

"The sea's cold!" she chuckled when he helped her to stand again, right when another wave hit both of their feet. Hyun Ae shrieked and laughed at the cold feeling against her skin.

"I told you! Now your feet are wet. Thank goodness you fell on the dry part of the sand," Namjoon grunted, dusting off the sand that was covering most of her dress skirt.

After a few final pats, he stood up and stared at her after letting out a heavy sigh.

"Lift me up, please?" she whispered, opening her arms to him.

He chuckled and shook his head before picking her up in bridal style. He began to walk back to the sidewalk when Hyun Ae began to record a video with her phone.

"Everyone, a charming sea prince just picked me up! Wanna see him?" Hyun Ae said, before turning the camera lens to him. "Look. So handsome, right? He's my prince, only mine and no one can take him."

"Babe, are you drunk or something?" Namjoon mumbled, looking away from the camera.

"Hmph!" she huffed, rolling her eyes, and looked back at the camera. "Look here, my prince," she told him, but when he didn't respond, she clicked her tongue. "I said 'look here'!"

Namjoon let out an annoyed grunt when he looked back to the camera, without expecting a surprise kiss from her.

"I love you," she whispered against his lips, smiling as their eyes met.

"Love you too, baby girl," he softly whispered, leaning in for a deeper kiss on her lips.

She wasn't expecting it to, so she hid her face on his shoulder, away from her own phone camera.

"Why are you hiding your face? You're so adorable. Let's get something to eat."

"Then we'll go to the breakwater!" Hyun Ae suddenly said. "You know, the drama 'Goblin' shooting site! That's why... I brought my red scarf," she stated, tapping his bag. "You can be my Goblin."

"Phew! That was a long trip!" Namjoon sighed as he threw himself onto the sofabed in the living room.

Hyun Ae took this chance and sat on his lap, scooting closer to him as he whispered, "but worth it because I went with you."

"I can't remember the last time I went to the beach. Thank you, Joon," she smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and quick-kissed him, making him grunt. "So, when are you going to make me more madeleines?"

"Wanna do it tomorrow?" he mumbled, scratching the back of his head with his left hand before placing it back behind her, while the other rested on her thighs, caressing it smoothly. "But the ingredients..."

"JUST TELL ME. I have almost everything in this house! But if there's anything that I don't have, we still have time to get it from the market," she said, glancing at the wall clock that showed them a quarter to eight in the evening.

"What to expect... the owner of this house is a chef."
