S̶A̶N̶G̶U̶I̶N̶E̶ //|Jungkook|// complete~

15

             I sit down and Taehyung sits next to me, Before Jimin could get on the other side of Taehyung, Cheonhi slides in slyly. Jimin walks to sit next to namjoon, almost angrily. We start eating and it tastes amazing.

"WAAAA Jungkook try this!" Taehyung yells holding a spoon full of potato salad up to me, I bite it.

"Wooow Who made it? That's Really good!" Seokjin raises his hand and we send him thumbs up.

            Cheonhi gets up and leans over the table to grab a burger but when her sandal gets stuck, she trips and pushes taehyung who then lands on me, causing all of us to fall. Taehyung looks panicked into my eye from above me. My face, I already assume, Is bright red. The others start laughing but Taehyung just smiles at me. He then gets up and helps me up. Cheonhi smirks. Ahhh. I see. You did this on purpose huh? She winks at me. Fucking rude.

"Are you okay Kookie ah?" Taehyung says checking my stitches.

"I'm alright now hyung, but thanks for helping me up" His smile brightens.

"No problem" We all sit back down.

"So Hoseok, I heard you had a Hangover this morning, still can't hold your alcohol huh?"Cheonhi says. No honorifics?.

"Look we may be the same age but IM the taller one here" Hoseok says, Ahhhh same age. Wait, Isn't cheonhi still in school?.

"Wait If you two are the same age how is cheonhi in school?" I ask and she laughs.

"I'm a dance teacher there but I understand your confusion since I did attend your class.I was assisting your teacher that day since they didn't feel well and that was my free period" Ohh I say and she nods.

"I can't wait to graduate in May" Taehyung says. A Senior, I'm a sophomore.

"Same" Jimin chimes in a little too happy.

"Jungkook is so Young! Our little sophomore!" Hoseok says and they laugh. 

"I'm a dance teacher there but I understand your confusion since I did attend your class.I was assisting your teacher that day since they didn't feel well and that was my free period" Ohh I say and she nods.

"I can't wait to graduate in May" Taehyung says. A Senior, I'm a sophomore.

"Same" Jimin chimes in a little too happy.

"Jungkook is so Young! Our little sophomore!" Hoseok says and they laugh. 

"Sophomore? wow..... what's a sophomore doing hanging out with seniors?" Jimin says laughing with Namjoon, Taehyung fake laughs and so does Yoongi but Hoseok and Cheonhi stay quiet.

"He's cool!, and he's mature for a Sophomore" Taehyung says earning a smile from cheonhi. I keep my head down. Why is he attacking me...

"I'm just saying, that's not a usual thing ya know? A lot of people would find those seniors odd" Jimin says and Namjoon agrees.

"Ya, We didn't hang out with lower classmen in seoul, right Jinnie ah?" Namjoon said. In formal? Seokjin looks upset about something.

"No, But I don't see a problem with it" Seokjin stated.

"Yeah what's wrong with it? He's only 2 years younger, Yoongi and Hoseok are dating but their 2 years apart so what's wrong with friends?" Cheonhi adds cutting Jimin a look.

"I'm not saying its wrong, you just shouldn't let 'em get a big head about it, sophomore and younger people have a place and it should be known" Jimin says and the table goes quiet.

          Cheonhi notices my head down. Why is he saying those things? I've never burdened him. The only thing he can remotely blame me for is Taehyung not going to is party. However if he is holding a grudge over that, how can he claim to be so much more mature?

"Look Jimin" Yoongi says. We all look up.. Jimin looks almost scared.

"We love you, your our brother..... but I get that your a very...Ignorant? Person? But we are all friends here, if we choose to not care about age or grade level then leave it be okay? Your making the kid uncomfortable and making yourself out to be an ass, your reputation always proceeds you" Yoongi says and Jimin puts his head down. I've never seen Yoongi scold someone. Seokjin smiles. 

            We recover quickly from the awkward moment. Seokjin started talking about all these stories he has from when he worked in an ER. It was Gross but interesting at the same time. Jimin stayed quiet the whole time.I could tell that his eyes were on me. I chose to ignore them though. I paid more attention to Taehyung's box smile as Seokjin explained how this kid thought he was dying because he had a broken finger. His eyes sparkle brighter than the sun did when it hit the waves on the ocean.

"Who wants to go on the float with me" I raise my hnd before anyone else says anything.

           Taehyung laughs then grabs my hand and we run to the float. He helps me in then gets on.Yoongi runs over and pushes us as far as the rope lets. We lay back on the giant orange-slice-shaped float and stay there for a moment.

"Sorry about Jimin...I didn't expect him to be...rude" Taehyung sighs and rolls his eyes. 

"It's alright hyung, It's not your fault" I say encouraging with a smile.

"I know, I just feel bad..Everyone kinda knows that he can be very... Opinionated, whether he's right or not he just shoves his thoughts everywhere..." Taehyung says.

"Well...don't feel bad because im fine" I say and he smiles.

He grabs my hand and sits up. I get shocked but sit up as well.

"Jungkook..I know this is just verbatim at this point, but Please talk to me if something's bothering you" Taehyung says. He grabs my wrists and lines up the hearts.

"We're in this together now okay?" He puts his finger under my chin lifting my head up. 

          I nod. Only then did we realize that the float had drifted. We couldn't even see shore at this point.

"Awe fuck" Taehyung says looking around.

"What do we do hyung?" I say trying not to panic.

"Calm down, we can just swim back" He says smiling and getting in the water. I stare at him.

"Come on kookie!" He says holding out his hand.

                 I've never swam before. My anxiety starts to get bad. I curl up in a ball.I just want to hide, he probably thinks i'm some in capable child. 

"What's wrong kookie ah?" He says noticing my stress.

"I ... I've never swam before" I stutter. He looks confused but just starts pulling the float.

"Don't worry, hyung's got you"
