"What are you thinking about?" Eunwoo asks seeing the grin on my face as i get out of the water.

"Yeah it's creepy." My brother, Hoseok, says after grabbing his own watermelon devouring it in seconds.

"You two should know already" I shake the water off of me walking over back to my chair where my shirt was wipping myself dry with it.

Eunwoo took off his pants and shirt showing his purple floral swim suit, "Talking to your Ggukie~"

I chuckle sticking up my middle finger, being my real life best friend/cousin Eunwoo knew everything about Jungkook and I. Well, not everything about us.

Eunwoo has insisted for years that i must have a secret love interest with Jungkook. Which i would never admit that i do because i don't.

Eunwoo flips me off back leaving his clothes next to his overnight bag.

"Wait, Jungkook as in Taehyung's Cali boy crush Jungkook?" Hoseok asks licking his fingers of watermelon juices.

"Yeah the one Tae is too pussy to go meet " I scoff throwing my wet shirt at Eunwoo.

"One, i do NOT have a crush on him! Two, why do you have to put me on blast like that!" I say offended slightly.

"Yeah well how do we know he's even real?" Eunwoo asks pointing at Taehyung, i cross my arms ready giving him a confused look.

"How is he fake? Yeah he goes to a different school, and he's in California. I met him through Seokie too. Ask him!" I point at Hoseok who is just staring at the now empty bowl of watermelon.

He holds his arms up in surrender "Hey! Don't drag me into this!" Hoseok  finally walks over to us two, "I met his brother one time and talked to him for like a second."

"But you know Namjoon is real," i say, Hoseok shrugs going back inside with the empty bowl probably to refill it leaving without saying anything more.

I flap my hands in the air shooing the bugs away from my face sitting down on the edge of the pool.

Eunwoo walks over sitting next to me, "California is only at least 20 hours away from us Tae. You have a car and you're 18. You could make this happen!"

I smile sadly looking out at the sky, "We've tried.. it didn't work out.."

Eunwoo gasps dramatically poking me on the side, "What? What happened?"

I sigh shaking my head as i look back down staring at my feet as it wades in the water.

Eunwoo kept staring at me. I never act well under pressure like this, people in my face trying to pry me out of my comfort zone.

I stand up quickly walking away, "I have to piss!"

I really don't have to piss, i sneak up stairs passing the kitchen where Hoseok is to my room. I need a break from Eunwoo.. from Hoseok.

I think back to Jungkook as i close my room door, i sit on my window bench texting him.

Ggukie 💀💗

I hope you guys are playing my favorite song at the show tomorrow 😔

I almost always ask him to sing to me or strum his guitar to sooth me or just to hear him. Most of the time he is too embarrassed, but on the good days he sings to me, just to me.

Don't worry, Lovely
We always do 😂

I look out my window seeing Eunwoo and Hoseok jump into the pool together. Eunwoo swimming underwater to the deep end and Hoseok paddling towards one of his inflatable donuts.

Spring break of my senior year is spent with my brother and best friend being over, my arch nemesis taking my place for the college trip and my best friend playing with his band in freaking California.

Following the rules for the past 18 years has gotten me absolutely nowhere.

And today.. I'm going to change that.
