Bucket Hat

Teasing

I wake to a feeling of light rubbing on my back. Since I am a belly sleeper I turn my head toward the breathing I here on the left of me. I see Jungkook...in the morning. A sight I still can't believe I'm this lucky to see. His messy curls going in every direction is one I would never get tired of looking at. I smile at him and hum, "Mmm, morning." He brings his tattooed hand up to brush some strands of stray hairs from my face and then leans to kiss my cheek. "Good morning noona. Did you sleep well?" Nodding, I say "yes" with a smile, then ask, "Did you?" He hums. "I did....because I had my baby next to me." I feel my cheeks tinting and my heart thump at all his sweetness. He lays his head close to me, brings his forehead to touch mine, humming in contentment. "But....as much as I would rather stay in this bed with you all day....I think we should meet our friends downstairs. I hear them down there already." I giggle. "Ok, let's get dressed and head down." We both do our morning routine together, even brushing our teeth together, something I could have never imagined I'd be ok with doing because it just seems tacky. But with him, I love this closeness. This man can be so soft. Once we're both dressed and ready, we head down to the others. Once they all come into view they waste no time teasing us both.

"Well good morning JK and Ella! I trust you both had an eventful evening. We missed you for dinner and karaoke." Namjoon smirks at us both and winks. I immediately feel my face heating up. Jimin, walks up and slaps Jungkook on his backside and says something in Korean. I can use my imagination that it was something crude as Jungkook started rubbing the back of his neck, smiling as his face turned a bright shade of red. I looked at him confused and he just shook his head, probably meaning I don't want to know. Yoongi was sitting at the dining table with a cup of coffee and a note pad. Keeping his eyes on his cup he mumbles something also in Korean and all the guys laugh. I look again to Jungkook and see his face staying red as his adorable smile took over his face. "Come on now guys, we need to try to use English this week. We have two beautiful American women with us." Hoseok comes into the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee. He looks at me from the side and says, "should I tell this lovely lady what Yoongi Hyung said....or should you JK?" I turn to Jungkook who is now beside me and his eyes got wide at his friend. "Hyung!" He shouts shockingly. Namjoon walks up next to me and puts his arm around my shoulder. "Don't worry too much Ella, Yoongi hyung didn't say anything too bad. He just remarked on how everyone in the house knows how nice of an evening you two had together. Let's say you both were veryyyy......vocal." I look at the man, mortified and I turn fast to Jungkook who was looking down but stifling a laugh. I bury my hands in my face, feeling very embarrassed and exposed. "Oh my god!" Everyone laughs again so I turn to try and leave the room. Namjoon grabs my arm stopping me. "Ah, come on Ella. Don't worry about it. We've all heard each other at some point. We just had to tease our maknae because this is the first time for him to be on the receiving end." He walks over to Jungkook, who is just standing there shyly smiling and side hugs him. "Welcome to the club JK. But try to tone it down just a little...you guys probably beat out Jimin and that girl in the UK. And that's saying something because we all know how loud Jiminie is." They all laugh again, including Jimin. "Ok, no more teasing our young maknae and his beautiful lady. Let's have something to eat and discuss what to do for the next few days we have here."

During breakfast everyone sits around talking and laughing. Kayla and Yoongi are a weird combination. He seems very uninterested in her, or much of anything for that matter. But when Kayla was talking to Jimin I caught him look at them like he was pissed. Then a moment later he leaned over and pulled her and her chair closer to him. She looked at him smiling and put her hand on top of his on the table, then turned back to continue talking to Jimin. Yoongi then went back to his note pad but intertwined their fingers and I saw a small smile form on his face. He's jealous. I never pegged Min Yoongi to be someone jealous, but then again all these guys have only ever let us see what they wanted us to. I sat next to Naeyeon, the lady I came to find out was Namjoons girlfriend. Yes ladies, our leader has a secret girlfriend. She's not a celebrity, she's actually a teacher. Her English was very good so it was easy to talk comfortably. She turned out to be a very nice woman and we had a lot in common even though we came from opposite sides of the world. Her and Namjoon have been dating for a little over a year. They met by chance in a book store. He said he thought she was very pretty and smart and he would go to the book store every chance he could to try and see her again. He finally did and he took a chance and went against company policy and gave her his number and asked her to call him. She did and here they are today! She had to sign a NDA, like me and Kayla did, almost immediately, in order to continue seeing him. She said it's hard at times because they get very busy, but she loves him so she deals with it. I decided quickly I liked Naeyeon and thought we could definitely become closer...if things progress with me and Jungkook. I  asked about Hoseoks guest and it was revealed that she is just a fuck buddy and he doesn't want a real relationship now because it would be too hard. That makes me worry a bit. How hard could this be for me and Jungkook? But I try to not think about it right now and just enjoy this time together.

The guys decided they wanted to play foot volleyball and then we could go swimming. Kayla and I sat out,  having never played before, and we talked while watching the rest of them. "Soooo.....how was it? Better than last time?" I was watching Jungkook and Taehyung laugh after both trying to kick the ball at the same time and both missing. "Hmm? What?" I turn to Kayla. "El! We all heard you two going at it like animals for like the entire night practically. Is he as good as you were sounding like he was?" I slap her leg and blush. "Jesus Kayla! I don't want to talk about it here." She rolls her eyes and leans back in the lounge chair. "They can't hear us, they're clear across the yard and being loud as fuck playing. You don't have to give me details El, I just want you to be happy." I smile at her comment and look down. "Kay...he was perfect. The whole night was perfect. And I feel so happy right now." She beams and leans up to hug me. "Good. You deserve happiness El. Don't ever forget that." I lean back from the hug and start judging her with my eyes. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Squinting my eyes at her I ask, "What's the deal with you and Suga?" She laughs. "First, he doesn't like to be called Suga outside of work. He likes everyone to use his real name. And second....I have no clue" she throws her head back into the chair and I recognize that look she's giving. I sit up and turn completely to her. "Is this just a fling or more Kayla?" "I said I don't know Ella." I cross my arms, thinking of what to say next to get answers. "Has he said what he wants?" She laughs. "Besides to fuck me, no, not really. And I'm not asking either. I'm fucking Min Yoongi. My ultimate bias. So I'm in heaven." She's looking out at the guys playing so I grab her hand and she turns to me with a confused look. "Kay...." She quickly pulls her hand away. "Ella..don't. Don't over analyze this......look.....what Yoongs and I are doing right now is having fun and enjoying each other." I tilt my head. "I know that face though Kayla. You have feelings for him." Her eyes get wide and she clamps my mouth with her hand. "Shut the fuck up El! Yeah, I like him. But I'm not like falling in love with him nor am I hoping he'll want a relationship. You know I don't do long term and shit. I want to live my life like how I want to. Never have some man telling me what I can and can't do. If I want to go somewhere on a whim, I want to be able to just up and go. I want be able to sleep with whoever I want whenever I want. I don't want a relationship tying me to one spot. I'm just not made like that and you know that. I don't want marriage and kids and all that like you. Do I like Yoongi, yes. Are there some feelings there? Yep! But do I want to date him and fall in love? Not a chance. And he's the same way. He's in love with his music and career. He'll never put a woman before his career. We've talked a bit about it. We have an understanding I guess." My sister has always been a wild horse, unable to be tamed. But I couldn't ignore what I saw earlier. "I saw how he acted when you were talking to Jimin though. He got jealous." She laughed at this. "Oh he can definitely get jealous! He sees me as his territory and he doesn't want any of the members coming into his territory. He already told me he doesn't share." She laughs again and looks out at the guys. Yoongi turns and looks at her briefly, showing a small smile to her and then going back to the game. She smiles and looks at me and says, "I don't like to share either, so we have an understanding. If we are together then it's just he and I. No side action from anyone else. But when we aren't together.....well....we do what we want with whoever we want and we won't ask each other about it. As long as I don't ever fuck any of the other members. Like I ever would though. I like to flirt, but I'm no skank." I laugh at this and we both turn back to watch the game. Jungkook looks at me and smiles a genuine heartfelt smile and then winks at me. I giggle and lay back watching them act just like how ARMYs see them in their Runs....like pure hilarious chaos.
