Rivalry | Jeon Jungkook

5

I slid to the ground in defeat. I was locked in the boy's change room for who knows how long.

The change room was huge, it included a jacuzzi and all amenities that could possibly be needed. It had an unusual shape, the room curved in a circle around the shower area which was in the centre. I groaned in annoyance, and stood up. I could hear a soft pitter-patter of water against a tile floor. The sound of a shower snapped me out of my gloomy state.

I wasn't alone.

I crept further into the change room, my heart racing.  As I stood in the washroom area, I heard the muffled sound of someone singing.

🎵When it comes to you, there's no crime🎵

It was beautiful. I stood enchanted by the singing. Is this what an angel sounds like?

Entranced, I subconsciously moved towards the source of the sound. I walked towards the area that connected the showers and washroom. I could see one curtain drawn, the steam and moisture surrounding the shower.

🎵let's take both of our souls and intertwine🎵

  

The voice continued to flow.

Whoever was singing, I was really impressed. There was so much raw emotion to this voice, it almost brought tears to my eyes.

Almost.

Because at that moment the singing stopped and the shower suddenly turned off, the sound of running water ceasing.

I quickly looked around, trying to find a place to hide. I ran silently into a washroom stall and stood on the toilet seat. Just as I shut the door, I heard the sound of the shower curtain being pulled open.

I face palmed, I didn't lock the stall. Since I was scared to make any noise that would reveal my presence, I stayed still and silently hoped that the person would not need to use the washroom. I heard the ruffling of a bag and towel.

I looked through the crack of the stall door and saw the one and only Jungkook, standing in front of the sink, looking in the mirror. Curse my luck, why do I feel like he is everywhere i go?

I closed my eyes, desperately trying to think of a way to get out of this situation.

I looked again at Jungkook, and this time my eyes drifted downward. I saw that the only thing he was wearing was a towel around his waist. I could see his toned back, probably a result from years of physical training. His back was still covered in water droplets from the shower, the reflection of light gleaming off every dip and curve of his back. He reached up to run his hand through his wet hair, revealing his forehead. Seeing his face in the mirror, I was taken back by how good he looked. Not gonna lie, he was already attractive with his normal look, but now he looked 100 times better. I quickly looked away because it felt wrong to be spying on him like this. He turned away from the mirror and rummaged through his bag. I tried to shift into a more comfortable position on the toilet seat, but my leg slipped into the toilet bowl, soaking my shoe and sock. I let out a little yelp as I tried to balance myself. I put my hand over my mouth, realizing what a mistake I just made. The ruffling sounds stopped. Jungkook looked in my direction, confused. I stopped breathing for a moment as I got a glimpse at his slim upper body. Damn, this boy got abs.

Just as he was about to walk towards the stalls, his phone rang, "Fantastic Baby" echoing through the change room. While he was distracted, I took the opportunity to slip out of the stall and sneak along the curved walls of the change room. I jumped into a fancy jacuzzi and hid.

Narrator POV

Jungkook hastily answered his phone, and told the caller he'll get back to them. He walked towards the area where he heard the voice. The thought that someone was in the stall flashed through his head. He was pretty sure all the guys already left, so the change room should be empty.

"Hello? Is someone there?" He called out.

He walked to the closest stall and kicked open the door. It was empty.

Calyspo was shaking in fear as she crouched in a jacuzzi. She tried to plan an escape route to a more suitable hiding spot. If she could get to the towel closet, she could stay in there until Jungkook left, then eventually the Janitor would come to lock the change room and realize something was wrong. The only problem was that the towel storage room was on the other side of the change room, where Jungkook happened to be. As she crouched into a preparatory position for her escape, her back pressed against the side the jacuzzi and hit a button. The button beeped, and water began seeping into the bath.

"Shit" she muttered as the water began to fill up. She began to search for a way to stop the water, but there were so many buttons and knobs, she had no idea how to do it. She randomly pressed a button hoping it would turn off the water, but instead an automated voice said "Please select your massage jet pressure"

Jungkook heard the noise and stood frozen in his spot. He realized that there definitely was someone here with him. He started walking along the wall that curved into the bathing area.

"Who's there?"

Calypso started to panic.

"Uh, It's me" She said the first thing on her mind as she lowered her voice, trying to imitate a guy.

Jungkook stopped walking, focusing on trying to identify the voice. His curiosity got to him, so he decided to go check who it was.

Calypso POV

My heart was racing so fast, I thought it would explode out of my chest. Hearing Jungkook's footsteps draw nearer made me more anxious than I already was. I needed to act quick.

I decided to take a risk and sneak further into the change room. I pressed myself against the wall, hiding myself just as Jungkook had entered the bathing room. I heard him let out a confused "huh? where'd you go?"

I hid silently.

"Hey man, what's going on?" Jungkook called out.

"Oh, I'm just uh...fixing the Jacuzzi. yeah. I'm just getting my tools." I said awkwardly from my hiding spot. I crossed my fingers, hoping he'll believe me and leave.

Jungkook nodded to himself, still confused. He sighed and walked back out of sight.

—

I could see the towel closet, just a couple metres away. The only problem was that Jungkook was at the sink nearby combing his hair. I closed my eyes, trying to summon all of my courage as I prepared to bolt for my destination as quietly as possible.

Narrator POV

Jungkook combed his hair, still feeling a bit puzzled by the mystery jacuzzi guy. Deciding to use another towel to fully dry his hair, he walked towards the closet.

Calypso took a deep breath and moved swiftly towards the closet door. Just as she reached out towards the door handle, she collided with a hard surface. She had bumped straight into Jungkook's chest. A bit stunned from the impact, she looked up and her eyes met his.

"CALYPSO? What the fuck!" He yelled, bewildered.

"I can explain, I was lock-" her words were cut off by a small thump.

They stared at each other in horror.

The towel that was once securely tied around his waist had dropped onto the floor.
