Riptide (Book 1)

The boys idea for their day out

I wake up to the smell of food coming form the kitchen. I get out of bed and head down the stairs. I see Jin standing in front of the stove making all sorts of food , like bacon, eggs, and pancakes. "Good morning ," I say making him almost drop the pancakes. "Oh, good morning ," he says with a sigh of relief. I take a seat in one of the chairs at the counter and he places a plate down in front of me. As I start to eat the rest of the members come in. "Morning everyone," I say with a smile. They all look at each other with wide eyes. "Yes she can talk. Now come eat while it's hot," Jin says. All I can do is laugh to myself. "I'm sorry about before. I just couldn't bring myself to speak," I say as they sit down.

"Hey, it's alright. I told you to speak whenever you were ready to," RM says. I give him a smile and he returns it. "May we know your name now," jimin ask. "It's Brianna or Bri for short." "You have a pretty name," jungkook says then looks down at his hands. I think I might have even saw him blush a little. After breakfast I head back upstairs to my room and jump on the bed. "Hey Brianna," I hear a voice form the other side of my door. "Come in." In walks V with a bunch of newly bought clothes. "These are for you. We got them yesterday while you were asleep." "Thanks I say giving him a smile as he hands them to me.

"Wait ,thats not all. We all have one more surprise for you." He motions for me to follow him out to the hall. He brings me to a door across the hall and opens it. "Surprise !" All the guys shout when I enter. "Do you like it ?" J-hope ask. It's a huge walk-in closet with lots of shoes , clothes and even a bunch of makeup. "This is all for me ?" Thank you all ,but why ? I don't live here. I don't even know if I can stay here."
"Of course you can stay. You were washed up on the shore," Rm says. I know but I do have a home to. I'm just confused because I don't know if I really want to go back."

I lower my head to look at the ground with a sad expression. Next I feel a bunch of arms around me. It's the guys squeezing me in a tight hug. "Why don't we take you out to do something fun today," Rm suggest. They all release me from the hug. "That's a great idea. We can show her all are favorite places and things we like to do," jimin says. " Then maybe you can see if you want to stay or not," Jungkook pipes up. "Alright why not ?"

They then leave the room all cheerful and happy. I close the door behind them , laughing as I do. I scan the closet to see what to wear. Everything is so beautiful. I go through all the drawers and finally find the one with pairs of jeans. I pick out a pair then find a shirt. I find the drawer with the shirts and pick out a crop-top. Last I put on a small black jacket and shoes. Thankfully everything fit perfect. It's as if they secretly took my measurements in my sleep.

I grab some makeup and head back to my bathroom in my room. I apply light foundation and powder with a little highlight. I apply my eye shadow and light pink lipstick. Once I'm finished I head downstairs and see them all waiting for me. Their jaws drop and their eyes grow wide. "Sorry to keep y'all waiting. Are y'all ready to go ?"
They just stare at me. Not saying anything. "Guys !" I shout snapping them out of their stare. "Let's go," I say skipping down the rest of the stairs and out the front door.

As we walk down the street the guys show me all their favorite places to eat or just hang out. They decided to bring me to one of Jin's favorite place first for lunch. We walk into a Korean barbecue restaurant and take a seat at one of the large tables. A waiter comes and takes our drink orders along with what we want to eat. Most of the guys ordered the famous Kimchi jjigae, while I went with the Galbi ( bbq ribs ). About an 1 hour and 30 minutes are meals are served to us. I was so hungry that I couldn't help but gulp it down. As I was eating I could hear the guys snickering at me. I looked at them with a smile and couldn't help but laugh as well. Once we finished eating the guys decided to bring me to the park. Jungkook told me he loves the park. As we were walking, Jimin lightly pulled my arm to stop me.

"Wanna go ride the carousel with us ?" "Sure that sounds like fun." We head over to the carousel and wait to get on. It comes to a stop and the operator opens the gate for us to get on. I hop on and search for a horse that captures my attention. I find a white horse with a golden mane and a colorful saddle. I straddle over it and grab the pole to hold on. I see the guys found their horses to. Jimin and V are in front of me , Jungkook took the one next to me and J-Hope is in the back with RM and Suga. The ride starts and a smile appears on my face.

Before it was to dangerous for mermaids to live on land, my mom use to take my brother and I here to ride the carousel. We would spend hours on the ride just going around and around. My dad was alive at the time to. He would stand by my side every time I rode to make me feel safe. As I was thinking about my dad an arm came around my waist and startled me. "Are you okay ?" I look over and see Jungkook. He's off the horse and standing by my side with his arm on my waist. "Yeah I'm alright. I was just thinking about my dad. My parents use to bring my brother and I here all the time."

"No wonder you like this ride a lot." Thats true that this is my favorite ride. I even pick the same horse to ride every time. We finally get off the ride and walk back through the park. On the way we stopped and got some ice cream. Once we reached home I was so exhausted. I trudged up the stairs and into my closet to change. I put on a pair of shorts and a tank top. I throw my hair up in a messy bun and go back to my room to brush my teeth and remove my make-up. After, I climb into bed and cuddle up under the covers. As I was drifting to sleep there was a knock on my door. I sit up and rub my eyes. "Come in ," I say with a yawn. My door opens to revel Jungkook there in a muscle shirt and sweat pants. "I'm sorry if I woke you ,but would you mind if I stayed in here with you ?" "Of course not," I say scooting over for him to get in my bed. "Thank you ,Bri. I just can't sleep." I nod my head and pull the covers over us. He moves closer to me and resets his head on my tummy. I smile and run my hand through his hair repeatedly. He signs with a smile and snuggles closer to me. I close my eyes and fall asleep with Jungkook there by my side.
