Almost like back then (JJK fanfic)

Chapter 20

***Next morning***

When I get up in the morning, I feel pain in my arm in the spot Jungkook was holding me and not letting go. I ignore that, get up and walk out of the tent. I sit down by the fireplace where the guys are making breakfast. Jimin looks at me from the other side of the fireplace and asks:"Jeez, Min Lee, are you not cold, you're only wearing a tank top. I can give you my hoodie." I smile and answer:"No, thank you, I feel good like this."

Hoseok who's sitting next to Jimin, grabs a plate, fills it with food and offers it to me. I smile, nod, stand up, and reach out to Hoseok to take the plate when suddenly Jimin says, "Wait. What's that on your arm??" I look at him and ask, "Huh?? What are you talking about??" Hoseok pulls the plate back towards him when he sees Jimin quickly get up and come over to me. He takes my arm and examines it.

I look at it as well and am a bit shocked. On my arm there's a dark bruise in the shape of Jungkook's hand. Guess he held me a bit too strongly yesterday. Jimin angrily shouts, "You said he didn't do anything to you!!" I look at Jimin and say, "And it's nothing, don't worry. Seriously." Just then, Taehyung, Lisa, and Jungkook come out of the trailer. Jimin glares at Jungkook, then turns his whole body towards him and says, "Yah!! You!! Jungkook!!" Jungkook looks at Jimin with wide eyes and hides behind Taehyung.

The others warned me that Jimin is the scariest when he's angry, so I say, "Jiminie, seriously. I'm begging you, calm down." Jimin wants to get closer to Jungkook, but I grab his hand and don't let him go anywhere. Jimin looks back at me and for a moment it looks like he's calming down, but then he looks at my arm and gets angry again.

He says, "Did you see Min Lee's arm?? No? Come and look." Jimin raises my arm in the air and Jungkook sees the bruise on my arm, then his mouth widens a little. Lisa's hand goes to her mouth in shock. Jimin sees their reaction and says, "That's right." Jungkook walks forward and wants to get closer to me, but Jimin stands in front of me protectively and says, "Oh hell nah, you won't get closer." Jungkook says, "Min Lee, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to."

I smile and say, "Don't worry about it, it's okay. Don't listen to Jimin." Jimin says, "It's NOT okay. From now on, I'll be by Min Lee's side and protect her from you." I sigh and say, "Jiminie...." He looks at me and says, "No, you're not going to talk me out of this." I say, "Okay. But let's start eating. We both need to eat." He sighs, hugs me carefully and nods.

We sit down and Lisa sits down next to me. Hoseok gives food to me and Lisa and we both start eating. 

***Later***

When we have free time, Lisa and I take a taxi and head to the city center. Lisa asks: "So, what are we doing??" I grin, pull a piece of paper out of my bag and say: "I still have the pretty instructor's number." Lisa looks at me and smiles slyly.

***In the evening***

We get out of the car and walk to the campsite, and James, the handsome instructor, walks us. I smile, turn to him, and say, "You really didn't have to walk us all the way to the campsite." He smiles and says, "No, I will. Besides, you wanted to get some fun with the guys/friends, didn't you??" Lisa looks at me with a sly smile and says, "Let him walk us. You want to see their reaction, don't you??"

I smile and say, "Fine." We start walking and he carefully places his hand on my lower back. Lisa notices it and smirks. When we're all there, he leans down, kisses my cheek, then whispers in my ear, "Smile, this will be the last straw for them before they get annoyed. Then let me know the results."

I laugh and when he leans back I say half out loud, "Okayy, I will," smiling sweetly at him. Then he kisses Lisa on the cheek too, then turns, waves to both of us and walks to his Mercedes and drives off. Lisa and I both turn to each other and smile, then we start fangirling. She holds onto my elbow and as we approach the guys she says, "Oh. His muscles and...tattoos. And his hair. It was so soft."

I smile and dreamily say, "Ugh. He was so cool." Lisa nods and agrees with me. Jin looks at us and says, "You....met him looking like that??" I ask, "What's wrong with our looks??" Jin says, "Uh, nothing. You both look absolutely stunning. But short skirts on both of you??"

For context, I'm wearing tank top and skirt and Lisa is wearing dress but both the skirt and dress end above the knee. Lisa and I look at each other, then shrug at the same time, she holds onto my elbow and we go to the tent to change. When we come out of the tent, we're both wearing sweatpants and crop tops. The guys are staring at us both, but we ignore it. I ask Lisa: "Food??" She smiles at me sweetly and nods, I put the food on her plate and serve it, then I put some for myself, we both sit down and start eating.

There's a moment of silence, but then Taehyung says, "So we're not going to talk about what just happened??" Lisa and I look at each other and then I smile innocently and ask, "What are you talking about??" He says, "I'm talking about how you two went on a date with that guy over there." Jungkook adds, "That ugly guy."

Taehyung nods in agreement, and then I say, "First of all!! He's not ugly. Second of all, it wasn't a date. We just had nothing to do, so we met up with him and had a good time." Jungkook asks, "So what were those kisses you two had?" Lisa adds, "They were on the cheek."

I smile and say, "But ugh, he smelled so good. Like strawberries and vanilla." Taehyung exclaims, "Heyy, I smell like strawberries." Then Jungkook adds, "And I smell like vanilla." We shrug and then Lisa says, "But oh, he had such soft and fluffy hair." Jungkook interjects, "Why do you know what his hair is like??" She says, "Change of subject. He had such sexy tattoos." 

Jimin asks, "Did he have tattoos?? I didn't see any, even though he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt." Lisa and I look at each other and I say, "Oh yeah....he has them on his back." Jimin asks, "Is there any point in me even trying to ask??" Lisa and I look at each other again and I shake my head, then I say, "But he had such cool earrings."

Jimin looks at us annoyed and says, "We have earrings too!!" I smile and say, "I know, yeah. But you're not James." Jungkook chimes in, "Since he has a tattoo, I can tell he's an adult." Lisa and I smile and I proudly say, "He's 24." Lisa smiles and says, "Ugh. He was so hot, I could just take him and just..." Jungkook looks at him and asks, "You could...what??" Lisa pauses and then says, "Hug him." Jungkook rolls his eyes and Lisa and I look at each other.
