BTS SHIPS-ONE SHOTS

50 CENTS // JIKOOK

Time passed by quickly. It’s time for them to go home, they still need to fetch Jungkook’s hyung from his school. Jungkook’s mom called him already and he obedient obey her. She wiped Jungkook’s sweaty face and body with a towel, the kid is soaking wet due to his sweat but he still smells so nice.

“Hyung is waiting for us, let’s just go again next time,okay?” Jungkook nodded slightly feeling sad, he wants to play more but he doesn’t like to make his hyung to wait for them for so long. They walked away, hand in hand, away from the playground while JK’s still glancing at the playground. Someone caught his eyes, it was the boy with the crescent eyes building sand castles.

“More castle. Gonna build more sand castles” Jimin continued playing with the sand when he noticed something on it. It was round and shiny, due to his curiosity he took the round thing and realized that it was a coin.

“A 50 CENTS” he shockingly shouted that caught his mom’s attention. She walked rowards Jimin and asked if he was okay or if he was hurt and why he shouted.

“Eomma, I’m fine. I just found this” He showed to his mom what he was holding “I think someone lose it. Can I go to the police station? They can return this to the owner, right?”

“You don’t have to Chim” His mom said while looking at him proud and fond with Jimin’s actions.

“Eomma, what if they need this? I should return it. Let’s go to the police station”Jimin insisted while pulling his mom’s hand. His mom was just following him to where he pulls him when the kid suddenly stopped and looked at her “Where’s the police station, by the way?”

His mom giggled and pinched his cheeks “Why are you so adorable?” She held his child’s hand instead and lead the way to the police station. When they reached the place, Jimin runs towards the desk where he saw man wearing a police officer.

“Ahjussi” he said, calling the policeman’s attention.

“Yes little man, how can I help you?”Jimin took out the coin that was on his pocket and showed it to him.

“I found thos 50 cents on the playground while I was making sand castles. I think someone lose it. Please find the owner for me. Can you do that, Ahjussi?” The officer was taken aback to what the kid said. He found him too adorable.

Jimin was looking at him with puppy eyes and a pout on his small plump lips while holding the 50 cents. It isn’t their job to return a 50 cents but the offiver find it hard to resist Jimin’s charm. How can you say no to a cute little kid like him? The officer took the coin and gently patted Jimin’s head.

“Alright, young man. We’ll find its owner and bring this back to him. Thank you” Jimin smiled widely and saluted to the officer that made everyone giggle due to fondness.

“Thank you mister officer. Byeeee” He waved his little hands and walked towards the door where his mom is waiting for him the whole time. They walked away from the police station and headed home.

“Eomma, if I lost something where can I find it?” Jungkook suddenly asked his mom with a sad tone.

“Hmm, at the police station?” His mom said, unsure “Why? Did you lose something?” Jungkook nodded his eyes are starting to get teary.

“I lost my 50 cents, can we go to the police station? Maybe they found my coin” Her mom smiled at him and held his shoulders

“Kookie, I can give you money again if you’re that sad losing your coin. I’ll give you more than 50 cents”

“I want my old coin back, Eomma” Jungkook’s voice is starting to break, he’s in the verge of crying “E-eomma”

“Alright. Let’s just wait for hyung a little more and we’ll head to the police station” his mom smiled sweetly at him assuring JK that they’ll really go afterwards. Jungkook didn’t wait tto much ‘cause he already saw his hyung towards their direction.

“Hyung” Jungkook shouted, he ran towards him and hug him tightly as he started to cry”Hyung, I lost my 50 cents. Let’s go to the police station now, please?”

“Hyung’s gonna give you more than 50 cents. Stop crying, okay?” He removed Jungkook’s arms that’s wrapping on his body and squatted. He wiped his little brother’s tears.

“Kookoo only want the old coin. Please hyung, let’s go now. Eomma said yes already” Jungkook said in pout and pulling his Hyung’s sleeves.

“Okay. What Kookie wants, Kookie gets” Jungkook widely smiled at what his hyung said. He looked at his mom’s direction and reached for her hand which his mom gladly did.

“Ahjussi” Jungkook said, the police officer looked at the child who called him and genuinely smiled at him. He asked on how he can help him and Jungkook answered “I lost my 50 cents. Can you find it for me?” The police officer was a bit startled at what he just said but immediately regain his composure

“Someone just came here and returned a lost coin. I guess you owned it?” Jungkook’s eyes lightened on what he just heard, someone just returned his precious coin. “Here” the officer said and handed him the coin which the kid gladly took it and can’t refrain himself from grinning.

“Thank you, Ahjussi”

“I just did my job, young man. The kid who returned the coin just left a minute ago, thank him also” Jungkook quickly ran out of the station and there he saw a young man whom he guessed returned his coin. He ran towards them and called him “Hyung, wait a minute” He kept shouting ‘Hyung’ to catch his attention while his hyung and mom are following him.

“HYUNG WITH THE DUCKY BAG. WAIT!” Jungkook shoutly loudly as he could and finally caught the kid’s attention making his mom to stop from walking and they both looked to who called them. There they saw a kid who’s panting from the running and shouting that he did. Jungkook walked near the kid and bowed at him.

“Thank you for returning my coin, hyung” he stood up properly and faced the kid which he find a bit familiar.

“Don’t lose it again anymore okay?”

“I won’t”

“Pinky promise?” Jimin extended his pinky towards the kid and the latter did the same as they intertwined both of their pinkies

“Pinky promise” Jungkook said. Jimin removed his hand and waved at him as he smiled brightly that made his eyes disappear and bid his goodbye. Jungkook remembered him.

It was the kid in the playground that has a crescent eyes when he smiles.
