Dive In (VKOOK)

Sunscreen

Morning comes quickly for most, but slowly for Jungkook.

By following his rightful duty, Jungkook, for the most part, stayed up all night.

Halfway through the night, Taehyung had snuck a hand around the lifeguard's waist and pulled him in, his head on Jungkook's chest. That's what caused Jungkook to accidentally fall asleep cuddled with Taehyung for a good 2 hours. However after waking up, he had tried his best to survive the rest of the night.

And now it's bright and early, the air is fresh and the birds are chirping.

Jungkook doesn't get up just yet, not wanting to move Taehyung, who's still attached to his side.

The lifeguard does however hear a few tents being zipped open, which means some kids are awake. So he sits himself up a little, gently pulling Taehyung's arm off of his hips as he does so.

When Jungkook looks behind him at the tents to see who's awake, it's not kids but rather the lifeguards.

Namjoon and Jin are the first to step out of their tents, Jin's hair messy and Namjoon yawning. They approach Jungkook sleepily.

"Jungkook-ah, we have to make breakfast for the kids. Come on." Namjoon says while rubbing his eyes sleepily. Jungkook is new to this, so he looks at them with some confusion before they beckon him to follow.

So Jungkook grumpily peels off his blanket and places it completely on Taehyung before getting up from the pretty deflated mattress where Taehyung almost disappears.

He heads to the staff room with Namjoon and Jin, already hearing noise from inside.

When they walk in, Lisa, Mark and Jimin are already all up, making coffee and grabbing food from the fridge. It's pretty busy and the staff room is small so Jungkook doesn't know what to do or where to stand.

"Jungkook you're awake! Make pancakes would ya." Lisa chirps, handing him a cup of coffee while sipping her own.

Jungkook isn't really a morning person, especially with 2 hours of sleep so he grabs the coffee and ignore how enthusiastic the girl is.

"Do we even have supplies?" Jungkook questions, looking around the pretty empty cupboards.

"Here." Mark says, handing Jungkook a bag of premade pancake mix. Jungkook chuckles a little, grabbing the pancake mix and finding his own corner to make it.

"Good morning Jungkook, how was you're not sleep, outside?" Jimin asks with a smirk as he's placing a bunch of muffins on a tray.

"It was not bad, I loved staring at completely nothing for hours in the dark." He says, causing the all lifeguards to laugh.

"You mean staring at Taehyung?" Jin jokes and Jungkook looks at him like a deer caught in te head lights.

"Wh...why would you say that?" The lifeguard asks.

"I saw him this morning sleeping on your mattress." Jin says and a few lifeguards oo and ahh. Jungkook blushes but tries to get things straight with everyone.

After talking a bit more about the sleepover, Jungkook gets into making the pancakes while everyone else shuffles around the small kitchen to get food ready for the swimmers.

After everyone wakes up and eats, all the kids await on the bleachers to get picked up by their parents. Some sit sleepily with their friends, others lay down with their eyes closed.

Taehyung sits by himself, packing his bag and ruffling out his hair. When he woke up this morning, Jungkook was gone. He was almost thankful they didn't have to face each other but at the same time worried that the lifeguard was avoiding him.
