Fuck It List

25: beach party

The air was immediately filled by the laughs, chatter and calls from several people in the mood for a good party.

The gleaming was torn apart by the light cones of the cars and the slamming of car doors disrupted the silence.

Jungkook sighed and pressed a kiss to your temple. Then you got up and put pants on since it was getting cooler.

You packed up your stuff and joined the hustle and bustle of all the young students getting ready to set up a party on the beach.

You were searching for James in the crowd when you recognised a few familiar face. You realised that some of James's friends were your friends too.

It didn't take long until you two were recognised as well while approaching the car park.

"Jungkook! My man!", Jack's voice boomed when he noticed you and came over to you.

A huge grin was plastered on his face as he greeted Jungkook with a handshake and gave you a quick, friendly hug.

"I haven't seen you guys in ages", he said sipping on the red cup in his hands. He was always the one to get drunk first. Some things don't change.

"How come you're here today?", he asked interested.

"Do you know James? He's my friend from college in the UK. He invited us", you explained.

"Oh yea, I love him. He's a great guy", he said nodding and looked around, "come on, meet the others and get this party started!"

He slung his arm around Jungkook's neck and pulled him to his friends from college who welcomed him with open arms.

You spotted your old friends from your first semesters in college and ran over to them squeaking when you hugged each other. You actually had missed them quite a lot.

Soon after you had set up light chains, tables with drinks and snacks. Someone even installed a small DJ desk. The music was turned up and the party got started.

Jungkook left to get drinks for you while you stood aside contemplating whether you should join a drinking game or not.

Your decision making was interrupted when a very familiar voice spoke up right next to you.

"Hi, Y/N. Long time no see", Rachel sneered taking a sip of the drink in her hand.

You felt nauseous just smelling her perfume after all this time and hearing her annoying voice made it worse.

But you pulled yourself together. She meant nothing to neither Jungkook or you. She was not worth your attention. So you simply put on a fake smile.

"Hi, Rachel", you greeted her in a sweet voice, "how are you?"

"I'm good, thanks", she said smiling back, "I see Jungkook and you are back together?"

"Oh, yea", you confirmed nodding, "we made it."

"Good for you", she said, clearly a fake smile on her lips, she was showing too much teeth, "remember when I slept with him hahah?"

She did not just say that. And the fake laugh made your blood boil. You could punch her in the face right now.

But that would prove that she got to you and that's what she wanted. So you gritted your teeth and took a breath.

"Oh, right... now that you mention it. There was something", you said acting as if you didn't remember it anymore.

Like that you would give that painful memory less relevance and thwart her plans of tearing Jungkook and you apart.

"That was a really funny time", you ridiculed her petty attempt of ruining your relationship.

"Yes, it was", she agreed reluctantly and gave you the side eye.

"Oh, would you excuse me? My fiancé is drinking the cocktail he was supposed to get for me", you said laughing when you noticed Jungkook sipping on two glasses through two straws at the same time.

You didn't wait for Rachel's answer and walked over to Jungkook. You snatched the drink from him before he could drink it up completely.

"Sorry, babe. This s£x on the beach just tastes so good", he said wiping his mouth. You laughed and tasted it too. He wasn't lying.

A few of your friends gathered around you so you could make a toast together. A toast to all the great memories, a crazy party and the future memories.

You laughed as everyone cheered loudly and the music was turned up even more. You hoped you wouldn't disturb anyone.

Then you finally spotted James caught up in a suspenseful round of beer pong. You left Jungkook to talk to his friends and walked over to say hello to James.

"Hi, buddy. I see the master of beer pong is about to lose", you commented the game.

"Careful, Y/N", he said laughing as he holed the ping pong ball in the red cup, "or else you'll play against me next round and we both know you will lose."

"Yeah, I know. I'm only teasing", you said chuckling and opened your arms, "I actually just came here to say hi and tell you thank you for inviting us."

"Sure, you're welcome", he said hugging you before he had to down a cup of beer.

"And I also wanted to talk to you", you added becoming a little nervous and began fidgeting with your hands.

"Mhm, go ahead. I'm listening", he said squinting his eyes as he aimed.

"I wanted to apologise to you. For rejecting you so coldly and neglecting you right after we arrived here", you admitted lowering your head as he turned to look at you.

"Hey", he said softly laying his hand on your shoulder, "don't worry about it."

"It wasn't that deep. I'll get over it", he said giving you a reassuring smile when you lifted your head again, "I was in the good hands of my friends and we still have the whole summer to spend time together. So wipe that lousy expression off your face and have fun."

"Okay" you said nodding feeling a lot better.

"And I know that you are trying to patch up things with your fiancé so I understand the way you acted very well", he added patting you shoulder gently.

You smiled at him when suddenly you felt a hand brushing over the small of your back and then wrap securely around you.

"I was summoned", Jungkook's deep voice sounded next to you and he smirked at you.
