Switch Condos 2

Chapter 2

Jimin

How good is it to stretch in a lounge chair by the pool, listening to music through the earphones and being completely bathed by the Sun. We were really appreciating the fine rest. The exams were difficult and by an inch I was able to pass one of the courses I was bad at, while the other courses were much better than I thought. So far. Now, only one more period where there will be judges that can choose us for idols or back up dancers.

Later I'll think of it. Now I'll just enjoy the vacay at max! I sighed, relaxing this calm afternoon. After lunch we went back to the room to put on our bath shorts and now we were at one of the swimming pools relaxing.

Feeling water on my face so suddenly, I quickly thought that I couldn't relax with the "child" blocking me from the sunlight.

"Yah! Wanna get punched?! Be gone!" I barked at Taehyung splashing water at me with his soaked hair.

"Come inside the pool! The water is great!" Taehyung said  with a boxy smile, sitting by the edge of my lounge chair and pressing his hand on my face. The cold was actually pleasant, but he didn't stop playing on my nerves.

"Aish! You'll see what I'm gonna do!" I tried to grab his hand, but he was fast to escape.

"Tae! Chim!" Hoseok-hyung called us on a lounge chair by the poolside. "It's best if we put sunscreen on. It's still too hot to be in the Sun." He talked, as a mother to children. Hoseok was a few months older than us and was always the most responsable. I was still chasing Taehyung to grab his shorts. The brunette laughed running from me, turning all around at the pool and starting to approach Hoseok.

"Stop, stop! Please! Don't do it!" Begged Taehyung, grabbing my wrists as I approached him to lower his shorts down. As he had bigger hands, he could avoid being naked in the middle of the area full of tourists. Some tourists had buoys with animal structures and there were children playing by the shallowest side of the swimming pool, so our little run around the pool didn't catch much attention.

"Come here. I'll put the sunscreen on. Tae, dry yourself a little bit." Hoseok-hyung asked, standing up from his lounge chair. Tae reached the edge of his lounge chair, keeping his eyes on me, afraid I'd attack again. I smirked to make him more nervous, while Hoseok-hyung would help to spread the sunscreen on my back. "Aish... It's so hot... I should've stayed at the condo..." He complained, cleaning the sweat from his forehead with his wrist.

"That's why we need to go into the water." Taehyung repeated with a smile, finishing drying himself with a towel. The oldest denied with his head and gestured to him to be next, by spreading the sunscreen too. But, as me being the best buddy, trying to make Tae uncomfortable, it was hard for the oldest.

"Yah, stay still! It's hard to put it this way!" Hoseok ordered, slapping the youngest of the three on the shoulder. I laughed.

"Aish... Chim...! Don't do this to me!" Tae begged again trying to catch my moving hands. I could only laugh at his torment. I could feel as if I was a predator playing with his prey before the final touch. In this case, my final touch was just to pull down his shorts in public, but inside was just making him nervous.

"Done, be gone you brats." Hoseok said, going back to his longue chair under a big umbrella to block the sunlight while Tae and I were pushing each other playfully to see who would be thrown to the pool first. But, as he asked for a 'time out' I signaled. He observed me curiously and then looked at the oldest relaxing on his chair, so we sneaked towards him pretended going after each other till I grabbed his hands and Tae his feet.

"Eh?! No, no, no, nooo!!! Aish, you too are...!" Hoseok complained, but was thrown into the water. We were rolling from laughter and I grabbed one opportunity to push Tae inside too. Hoseok-hyung swore vengeance and tried to catch Tae to make him go down in the water. I launched myself, feeling the cold water after giving an artistic jump in the air.
