7 Years Apart

29: Crush

The time you went home on Sunday morning, Yoongi awkwardly apologized for what happened. He was too guilt-stricken to even look you in the eyes. Akiko was even better at saying they got a bit carried away and have been missing each other for weeks since final exams. She was blushing the entire time she said sorry but you can actually see how she exuded confidence in partly owning up to it.

As if nothing happened, you simply said everything is forgotten and that they don't need to worry. Sure you were shocked at that moment but it's not something you can't handle. At the age of 15 people might think you're still oblivious to the real world but they're totally wrong. You've seen just enough to believe that life is filled with so much more.

Jungkook, on the other hand, has slowly inched his way to your good side. He was clearly making up for lost time with Yoongi, spending the weekend in your house. That afternoon, the couple decided to stay home and chill by the pool.

Akiko wore a black one-piece swimsuit that perfectly complimented her gorgeous body. She's actually a varsity in swimming back at their university and boy was she great in doing laps.

You were by the pool dipping your legs in while keeping the rest of your body dry. Akiko approached you with a puzzled look on her face. "Aren't you going for a swim?"

"I will..." You said before attempting to slide off the edge to get in the pool but Akiko was quick to stop you.

"Wait, you're wearing colored shirt and denim shorts..." She said in warning. You both know what she was worried about. Colored shirts and zippered denim shorts aren't good for the pool's filter.

You went up to your room and looked for the only swimwear that still fits you but as you were trying it on, the fabric was to stretched out that your boobs are popping out. You got out of the tight swimwear and decided not to swim at all.

"Hey... Did you change your mind?" Akiko says, wrapped in a towel as she gets to her side of the dresser.

"I'd love to swim but I have nothing else to wear."

"I have one and I think it'll fit you perfectly!" Akiko squeals in excitement while rummaging through her stuff. "Here it is!" She says in glee, waving the tiny fabric at you.

You reach out for the floral swimwear that Akiko was holding and the style was exactly your type. It's a one piece bathing suit with haltered top that shows off your shoulders and a bit of cleavage. The cut was just right around your thighs and covers your rear decently, something you think Yoongi would prefer.

"I haven't worn it, your oppa actually gave it to me." Akiko says giggling.

"Oh I bet he doesn't want you to wear anything revealing right?"

"Totally, if he could only change our varsity swimwear he would."

You were already dipped in the pool the moment Jungkook appeared coming from their backyard. You had your eyes on him when he suddenly slipped off his shirt, showing off his perfectly sculpted body.

The moment your eyes grazed on his chest, down that glorious abs you knew you're blushing big time as you feel the warmth on your cheeks. Looking away was all you can do and that's when Akiko noticed how you are around Jungkook.

Akiko went to your side, seeing how flushed your cheeks are. "Hey, look over here." She said, pulling you to look at her instead.

Looking at her shyly, you cup a palmful of water and splashed it on your face.

"Hey... relax, no one else saw." Akiko assured you with a warm smile.

"I... I'm not... I mean..." You stammered.

"It's okay Eunj... nobody's gonna know."

"Was I too obvious?"

"No... Actually, I never would've guessed if I didn't see you blush." Akiko knew you were feeling awkward and she didn't want you feeling that way. "Hey, it's totally fine... every teenager has had a crush at one point."

"Thanks... Akiko..." You stopped saying what you intended to ask as she was already nodding her head in acknowledgment.

"I won't tell a soul... including Yoongi."
