chapter 19 | Wet to the bone

•••

8:30 am.

Every student sitting on the bus and being loud, I focus on y/n who is right beside me to share a seat with me. The only problem is that we have Jisung on our right, sitting on his single seat at the other side of the vehicle. I can almost feel the tension from here.

"So...what are you going to do?" I bring the question up again. "Are you going to swim or not?"

"I don't know..." she puts her head against the back of our seat, thinking about it but not giving me a clear answer yet. "I'll tell the teacher if you want about the fact that you can't swim and I'll tell him I'll stay close to you if needed."

"Really?" she peeks at me and I nod. "Yes, really."

"Then...okay...I'll try..." her voice doesn't sound very confident but I still smile at her, happy to see that I'm gradually helping her with the insecurities. "Great, if a person annoys you, tell me and I kill them. Alright?"

She smiles softly but acquiesces.

20 minutes later...

While holding y/n's hand that she wrapped around mine, I get out of the bus but look for the girl's teacher who will keep an eye on them. "Mister," I stand before him as he's checking that the students are entering the building. "Yes, what's wrong Jungkook?"

"Y/n has some problems with this swimming class and she can't swim because of some fears and issues so I would like to have the permission to be with her once she needs it," I explain him with some lies added here and there. "And I'm the only one able to calm her down or help her so...I'd like to be there for her. My mom wants me to help her," I mention my mother that he knows well. "Alright..." he nods and takes a look at y/n. "What's the problem for you to not swim?"

"I-"

"She has a lot of issues with her body and some people who judge her and make her feel bad every day. That's something serious and not just a little issue so I'd like you to understand it if she's not comfortable or feels scared to do something during the class and also avoid to make her do something in front of them," I make it clear for him to see this isn't a simple problem but something she has to deal with every day. "Alright...I understand. You could have told me earlier you know."

He's saying that but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have given a damn about it if she was the one who came up to him. He only reacts like that because I'm here and that he knows me and my mother. "Anyway, thank you for understanding," I bow to him and I walk up to the building with y/n.

"Thank you for doing that..." she softly talks to me with her little voice and I let go of her hand, to put my arm around her neck and press a kiss on her temple. "No need to thank me."

40 minutes later...

"Guys, I want you to be very careful today because we're going to do different things but that will be more difficult than usual," our teacher warns us as the other one is talking to the girls on the other side of the swimming pool. I keep my cap in my hand for the moment, my wet hair pulled back to not obstruct my sight, I often peek at y/n who's, to my greatest surprise, staying with a girl of another class. I'm glad to be seeing her talking with someone and not staying alone.

"Ya," a friend kicks me in the calf, making me groan and move to have my eyes on this guy behind me. "What the fuck do you want asshole?!" I complain in a quiet voice for the teacher to not hear me but he shoots back. "You've been staring at the girls this whole time, stop it already. They're going to think you're a pervert!"
