Forbidden Tides | Jikook

Chapter 4 🧜🏻

Lucky for me he must have seen my discomfort and looked out towards the sea.

"Wanna go for a swim?" He asked out of no where.

Ocean. No.

"No." I said almost automatically like I was pre-programmed to say this. He pouted "can you not swim? I'll teach you!" He excitedly said. I thought for a moment...

Ocean. No.

"I can swim but..." I started to say. Why can't I again? I just don't want to, yeah that's it. But why don't I want to? It would be fun but I can't. But why can't I?

I was stuck in a loop that always ended with 'Ocean. No.'

"I don't know why I can't." I said with a confused look on my face. Jungkook blinked at me "okay, let's just get you home then." He said and turned the engine on, driving us away.

"Get fucked you fucking fuck." I shouted as I killed another person on my computer game. I know, I know, I have such a boring life. I spend most of my time in school, then enjoy my own company. I ran my hand through my hair and rested my head backwards on the chair. I was bored now.

Should I learn another dance?

It always made me feel calmer and my body felt like it moved naturally.

I got up from my chair and looked in the mirror, my pink hair was becoming dull. I ran my small fingers across my plump lips, the memory from earlier suddenly popping into my head.

Bad Jimin.

Will that really happen though? Jungkook was really... really hot. Will the mate bond be so strong that I have no choice but to give in?

I closed my eyes and remembered all the ways he touched my skin, I felt tingles despite it just being my imagination. My stomach fluttered as I thought of the way his hand caressed my waist and thighs.

Well shit, now i'm turned on.

I frustratedly threw myself on my bed, groaning with annoyance. Damn you mate bond!

Think of grandma, think of grandma.

I calmed down after that... i'd be a bit worried if that didn't work.

I picked up my phone and messaged Hobi, I needed a friend like him to brighten my day. It felt like I was too into my head, constantly getting bored over things too easily. He sent a text back almost immediately, saying he'll be around in 5. I smiled, feeling excited at seeing my best friend.

"Jimin! Your friend is here." I heard my adoptive mother shout followed by footsteps up the stairs. I smelled that it was Hoseok, he also had his favourite after shave on.

The door opened and in walked my hope. Hehe.

I hugged him and he gladly wrapped his hands around my waist, letting them linger there. He inhaled my scent, trying to hide a satisfied chest rumble but I still heard it. I felt bad that my best friend felt this way about me, I was scared that if I told him I knew, our friendship would be over.

Things would be awkward and I don't want that for us.

I've just got to hope that he finds his mate soon and forgets these feelings.

We pulled away from the hug "wanna play video games?" I asked. "Yeah! Same game from last time?" He asked me to which I pulled a thinking face.

"I have a new one to try, let's do that." I said, pulling out the game I stole from Jungkook's house.
