The Dolphin Trainer || Vkook

Chapter 5

Jungkook's POV

After the Atlantis Ride, I had him purchase the photo that was taken and ran ahead of him. I didn't want him to see my face that was clearly plastered with happiness.

I think I'm finally getting closer to Taehyung. Is it too much to say that I'm thankful that Jin left Taehyung and I alone together?

The more time I spent with Taehyung, the more I'm able to see another side of him. He's playful and childlike, nothing like the bad boy he pretends to be.

He has a wide rectangular smile and a deep laugh. He has brown eyes that almost look hazel in the sunlight. He tends to skip while we're walking, admitting he does it a lot when he's happy. He also makes these weird noises every once in a while, which I find strange yet completely adorable.

We encountered another group of fangirls while we were walking, instantly resulting in Taehyung grabbing my hand. I don't mind at all though. I can actually get use to this feeling.

"Are you hungry?" Taehyung asked as we stopped near a snack stand.

I nodded my head eagerly, pointing at the churro. He chuckled lightly and paid for it. "You eat a lot for someone who's so small."

I ignored him and happily ate my churro. I fed him small bites, enjoying the fact that we were practically sharing an indirect kiss. He would watch me eat and leave small comments about me looking like a bunny.

His phone suddenly rang which I took as an opportunity to look in the other direction, trying to control the blood that was rushing towards my cheeks.

"Hey shark bait?" He spoke after ending the call. I continued to look away, not answering to him.

"Yah! Shark bait!"

Still not looking...

"Shark bait!"

Nope nope nope...

"Jungkook?"

"Yes?" I smiled, facing towards him with the half eaten churro.

"Ah, I get it.." He grinned. "You don't like my nickname for you?"

"No!" I growled.

"Whatever, you're still shark bait to me." He laughed. "Anyways, do you mind if we make a quick run to the dolphin tanks? I have to feed the dolphins before we leave."

I nodded as he pulled me with him towards Dolphin Cove. "Thanks."

Taehyung looked at me questionably. "For what?"

"For paying for my cotton candy. And the photo. And the churro. And dealing with me." I answered.

He squeezed my hand before smiling at me reassuringly. "It's no problem at all. I'm actually enjoying spending time with you."

Taehyung lowered his head, inches away from my face, whispering "Jungkookie."

I widened my eyes and shifted my gaze towards the ground. He giggled as we continued to walk. I cursed myself for being so quiet around him. My stomach is tied up in knots and he keeps tying new ones.

As we were walking, someone jumped onto Taehyung's back. "Taetae!"

Taehyung released our hands. I frowned, immediately missing the warmth of his hand on mine. How can I be so attached to him after just one day? I'm rushing too far ahead of things. Stop it, Jungkook!

"Yah! Hobie! Get off of me! You're too damn heavy!" Taehyung shouted.

The guy, who I recognized to be Hosoek, hopped off of Taehyung's back and playfully poked his cheek.
