FOURTY |
I walked down stairs to the kitchen to find Lisa and Uncle eating breakfast.
"Good morning, sleepyhead. You're lucky school hasn't started yet," Uncle greeted me.
I sat down on the table with them, and almost fell asleep over my plate of eggs.
"Hey. Today the weather is really nice. Me and your uncle are planning to head out to the pool. Wanna join us with your friends?" Lisa suggested.
Something about that sounded very fun.
"Yes. Definitely."
----
We all ended up going.
Jungkook thankfully had come back from his vacation with his parents so I was finally able to see him.
The moment I saw him I hugged him really really hard.
"I missed you. I had no-one to cuddle while you were gone!" I whined.
He giggled and hugged me back tightly. I loved how Jungkook hugged me. It was very secure.
He kissed my lips softly and held onto my head at the same time.
"I am the only single one here. Ugh," Hoseok whined to the side.
"Well maybe if you weren't such a whore you would find someone who'd want you for longer than 1 night."
I was uncomfortable with the fact that all of my friends were always talking about sex, and they knew what it was like. They could joke about it, and I was always just... listening. I never knew what that felt. Except for writing hardcore smut in my journal, I knew nothing psychically.
I just really wanted to do it.
With Jungkook.
"Hey kids. We'll pay your pool entrance okay? You buy drinks," Lisa said which earned her an extravagant clapping and whistling session from the group.
She was super chill. Everyone loved her. Uncle was kind of bitter to the side. He didn't like the fact of me drinking. He didn't like the fact of me dating either. But he had no choice. It was my life.
"I'm jumping in first," Minjung told the group and literally just jumped in the pool. Hoseok and Jimin splashed in as well.
I was trying to find myself a spot with an umbrella where I can write in my journal in peace.
"There," Taehyung said pointing at the perfect table.
He followed me there. I placed my towel over the chair and my beach bag on the floor.
I pushed my sunglasses up on my nose. "So how come your girlfriend doesn't like to hangout with us?"
Taehyung sat next to me on one of the other beach chairs.
"She does. I just didn't ask her to come."
I followed Jungkook's body. He was smiling at somebody. I looked at who he was smiling with. It was the lifeguard.
She was tan and very beautiful.
"Woah what," I took down my sunglasses. I saw him walk over to her and give her a hug.
"Do they know each other?" Taehyung questioned me as if I would know.
"I don't know. It seems like it."
Since he started chatting with her for a while, I just let it go.
"Whatever. What were you saying?" I asked Taehyung.
"I said that I don't even ask my girlfriend to come with us."
"Ah. Well. She doesn't belong anyways," I said not concerned about anything right now.
I pulled out my journal from my bag and a pen. Taehyung knew about this.
He leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
After almost an hour of peaceful silence... I was done writing what I wanted to write.
I looked to my side, and Taehyung was knocked out.
"Aish he'll burn," I talked to myself. I pulled out a mighty strong sunscreen from my bag and squirted some on his stomach without thinking much about it.
Since Jungkook was daring enough to talk to random girls in front of me.. I'll do my thing too.
I rubbed the cream all over Taehyung's chest... .and then his arms..
I was unaware that he was awake.
"There. All done," I told myself again proudly.
"Thank you cutie pie," I heard him speak. I got stressed out and surprised at him talking.
"If you can't lay down on your stomach tonight, just know that I saved you on time."
He giggled at my comment.
"Yujin," Jungkook came up to me. I looked up and saw the lifeguard he was talking to.
"This is an old friend from kindergarten," he introduced.
Friend? Susp.
"Hi Im Yujin," I introduced myself back. She bowed at me and I just gave her a fake smile.
I didn't know her, but I already don't want to.

After some hours, I became lethargic so I wanted to go somewhere inside.
I didn't even swim. I wasn't really trusting of what the chlorine can do to my skin.
"Kookie I wanna leave," I told him as I walked up to the edge of the pool. He was in with the others. Except Taehyung. I didn't understand why he wasn't swimming.
"Come on. Come swim with us for once at least," he begged me.
I shook my head. "I don't want to, Kookie..."
He frowned. "Come onnnn."
"I don't feel good under the sun. Please come with me!"
I became irritated. I hate begging for something and then get no results.
Jungkook grew an evil smirk on his mouth. He grabbed my leg and was about to throw me in the pool.
I screamed. "No no no!"
"Dude. Stop," Taehyung hissed as he came from behind me.
He kicked Jungkook's arm off of my leg softly.
"Whats it to you?" Jungkook questioned Tae.
I felt Taehyung's hand on the back of my waist which had me flinch a bit. It was unexpected.
"Can't you compromise your fun for your girlfriend? Sheesh," Taehyung retorted. He seemed rather mad.
He pushed me to walk forward. "Let's go."
I stared at his actions. He went back to the table and grabbed my stuff.
"Go," he told me one more time and I started walking ahead.
"Yujinie are you leaving!!?" Uncle exclaimed from the bar.
"Yeahhh I dont feel well!! See you later!" I replied and waved at everyone.
Jungkook was giving me a look of concern. I ignored it. Something about him today pissed me off. He was so careless.
~~~
Taehyung put my stuff in his car's trunk. I got in the passenger seat and waited for him to get in the car.
I explored the interior. It was so nice and expensive.
As he got in, I stopped and focused on him.
He turned on the car and began reversing.
"Taehyung-ssi," I spoke.
"Hm?" He was focusing on the road more.
"Why didn't you swim with the others?" I asked him.
He didn't even look at me. He seemed focused on driving but I knew he was thinking.
"Because I wanted to keep you company...."
"..... cuz clearly your own boyfriend wouldn't."
Why was he so mad?
