Blurred Lens

Trust

'Are you serious?' You whispered excitedly. You had the offer of stepping on board a yacht?!

'Deadly. I'll take you out for a quick spin,' Jungkook said, grabbing the keys out of the engine and opening the door. He suddenly felt the icy breeze, so swerved around to rummage in one of his luggage bags. He found 2 jackets, grabbed them and retraced his footsteps out of the car.

You sat in the seat in shock for a second, was he seriously about to take you out on the boat?

You didn't have time to question the dangers and worries since Jungkook swung your door open and held his hand out to help you up from his low seated car.

You grabbed it, his hand slightly colder than yours so shocked your skin a little. He pulled you up and swerved you around. You were caught off guard, especially with the cold wind having picked up and almost knocking you off your feet.

Jungkook said nothing, but wrapped his other jacket around you. It was a jersey material and almost fell to your knees. His arms momentarily wrapped around you felt comforting, you felt you could trust him to not sail you to the Bermuda Triangle and leave you there.

'Warmer?' He asked.

'Much,' you smiled, zipping the jacket up.

He looked you up and down, seeing you in his clothes made you seem a lot more close to Jungkook, like you were an old friend.

'We'll you look cosy, come on.'

He swiftly pressed the lock button on his car keys and pulled you down some stairs, leading to the dock.

Standing much more closely and on a lower level to these beasts was terrifying. They looked even bigger up close.

After passing a couple you reached one of the biggest laying in front of you. Jungkook stopped and pointed his body towards yours.

'Her she is.'

'She?' You laughed.

'Don't you think she's a she?'

'Sure, why not.'

Jungkook put his hands on his hips and admired the yacht for a couple seconds. You stood there slightly amused.

'You're really keeping me in anticipation here,' you giggled.

He got a little embarrassed and admitted, 'I haven't been here in a while, it's been hectic at work. I missed her.'

Jungkook then led you up the narrow stairs of the boat. You felt so small and insignificant next to the incredible size of the tank.

Each step made a metallic clink sound which sent shivers down your spine. You held onto the banister for dear life as you eventually got higher and higher up.

He first showed you the view from the balcony. You glanced at where you'd previously been sitting in the car, staring at where you stood now. The view from this side, granted wasn't amazing, but the height and the fresh air made it seem heavenly.

Jungkook then gave you a quick tour of the boat. You simply stood there in awe and silence for the most part.

Honourable mentions were the huge display cabinet with designer champagne glasses, each from a different country. The cabinet was built in and melted into the wall which held a huge flat screen tv for dining entertainment.

The master bedroom alone looked like an art piece only to be looked at, sleeping in it seemed disrespectful. Paintings of sea tales washed the walls along with the plush carpet in most rooms, massaging each crevice of the foot.

En-suites seemed attached to each individual room. They were all crystal clean and your reflection stared back at you on each surface. Dust was a distant cousin of this yacht.

'Wow,' was all you finally managed to splutter out in the final room of the tour, the helm. The amount of buttons, sticks and of course the majestic wheel, was overwhelming.

'It's a lot to take in, huh?' Jungkook laughed, grabbing the wheel and swiping his hand along the curve of the hoop.

'I'll say.' You stood there for a further minute, admiring the contrast in the view from the balcony and here. They were the same level, however you were facing the river here, so could see some small waves giving texture to the water. The bridge was seen draping over the water in the distance, with some faint lights of vehicles crossing the lands.

'Want to visit the river?' Jungkook asked, checking if you were okay with the situation that had evolved.

You slanted your head to the side and laughed a little. 'Sure, why not. Take it away Sailor...' You paused, realising you had absolutely no idea what this guy's surname was.

'Jeon,' Jungkook giggled.

You nodded. 'Sailor Jeon.'

Jungkook gestured for you to stand next to him, near the wheel. You could see exactly how he was going to navigate the boat from this angle.

He put in a different key, but before turning he furrowed his eyebrows and faced you. He made the turn painfully slow and crinkled his face in thought.

'Hang on.'

Panic flashed inside of you, had he never actually sailed before?

'Why aren't I Captain Jeon?' Jungkook wondered.

You laughed in relief and gently slapped his arm. 'Idiot, I thought you were full of it saying you could drive this thing.'

Jungkook laughed and followed through on his word by turning on the engine and setting off.

It never got less terrifying. Watching this random guy steer you surprisingly near to all these other boats, yet leaving the marina successfully, was an experience.

He swerved into the centre, of course this being a relatively slow movement because of the size of this thing. But you could see he knew what he was doing, which was something that finally successfully eased your mind.

Stepping out into the ocean of a river was incredibly scary. Jungkook rotated the wheel and steered to the right. After a good few seconds, the yacht was sailing in the right direction down the river.

He nudged down a cylindrical button and let go of the wheel. He sprung up in a chirpy manor.

'An auto pilot kind of thing,' he explained. 'Now our lives are held in the palms of this boat.'

He smiled at your panicked expression but reassured you it was completely safe. That did not ease you, however, you were out in the middle of the river Han by this point.

'Follow me,' Jungkook stated, leading you out to the front of the boat, where the balcony merged together to form a point.

He casually spread him arms on the balcony and leaned over, letting his head dangle over the edge. You saw him close his eyes and look completely at peace.

He was in his element, you could tell. His words "comfort place" made so much more sense now. His smooth skin had no creases to be found, his ora softened and he simply listened to the sound of the engine flowing over the waves being produced from under the boat.

You didn't want to break this peaceful moment. But you had a list of questions.

'So Jungkook,' you said. His eyes opened and he smiled, tilting his head in your direction.

'Tell me a little about your mysterious self.'
