Forever Young 영원히 젊은 Park Jimin

Chapter 21: Beach?

The last few days had been fun. When the boys weren't busy doing TV show appearances and interviews, I would show them around town. I took them to my favorite restaurants, museums, and hotspots. I even showed them the dance studio where I used to dance whenever I was in L.A.

It was fun, but Hawaii was going to be a blast.

We arrived in Honolulu a few hours ago and I was already dying to see the beach. As soon as we checked in our hotel, I asked the boys to go with me. I knew that they would be busy the next few days filming Bon Voyage, so I wanted to spend as much time with them as I could before then.

I had just finished putting on my bikini top when I heard my door being unlocked. I wasn't alarmed because just like in L.A., I gave my other key card to Jin-oppa, just in case something happened.

Jungkook walked in, wearing a white shirt and white shorts.

"Noona, Jin-hyung wanted to ask if you were-" He choked, not able to finish his sentence. He just stared at me with wide eyes, his face the color of a tomato.

"You should knock next time Kookie," I jokingly scolded as I put my things in my beach bag. "If you had come in just a second earlier, you would have seen me naked."

Jungkook's face became even redder, which I didn't know was possible.

"Do you like my bathing suit? It's a pretty color, right?" I asked.

"Y-yeah." He answered, averting his eyes and looking at everywhere but at me. "It's-uh-it's nice."

I giggled when I realized that he must have been embarrassed about seeing me in my bathing suit, and me acting nonchalant about it. I mean, I've never really been embarrassed or conscious about showing my body- being a performer does that to you. Back then when I still did ballet, during performances, when we had literally thirty seconds to change costumes, no one thought about who was gonna see us naked. We literally ran backstage, changed into our costumes, and ran back into position, acting like we didn't just flash a dozen people a few seconds ago.

I guess he was a bit more conservative.

Oh my gosh what a precious baby.

He acts all seductive and sexy on stage, and yet he still gets flustered seeing his noona in a bathing suit.

I decided to put on my cover-up before Jungkook got too uncomfortable, grabbing the black cloth and putting it over my bathing suit.

"It's safe to look now." I teased. His eyes finally met my own, his cheeks still flushed. I told him to sit for a while as I finished packing my things. Jungkook walked over to my bed, where the stuffed bunny he gave me was sitting. He picked it up and put it on his lap, looking it straight in the eyes.

"I bet noona hugs you when she sleeps at night." He muttered, staring at the toy accusingly.

"I do." I confirmed, giggling at his silliness as I put a towel and my sunglasses in my beach bag. "It reminds me of my second favorite maknae."

Jungkook's eyes flashed from the bunny's to mine, looking at me questioningly.

"Second?"

"I have my own maknae waiting for me back in Korea, Kookie." I reminded.

"Oh right." He said. Jungkook put the stuffed toy down, crawling to the edge of the bed where I was putting the last of my things in my bag.

"Is there any way I can convince you to make me your favorite?" He asked, grinning and showing me his bunny teeth.

"I can think of a few ways." I teased, winking at him. Jungkook's cheeks turned red again, his eyes widening. I knew that I shouldn't tease him too much, but his reactions were just too cute. Besides, he knew that I was just kidding.
