FIVE| Sunscreen

The next time you saw Jungkook was when he, without warning, knocked on your door a few days later. It was actually your mom who answered the door, but she immediately called you down upon seeing him nervously shuffle in the doorway.

You came running down the steps and froze upon seeing his figure. His eyes connected with yours and practical war flashbacks of every awkward encounter you'd had with him flashed in your mind. From being pushed up against him in the back of the car to falling over each other in the mud, you weren't sure how much more you could take.

"(Y/N) Jungkook is here to see you!" Your mom squealed, practically pulling you down the last few steps and pushing you towards him. She left immediately so the two of you could talk.

Jungkook was wearing swim trunks along with a swim shirt and flip flops. A towel hung around his neck and his deep eyes never left yours after he had found them.

"Umm... are..." He started, nervously trying to place his words. He finally gave up and sighed, retreating to speaking a single word. "Busy?" He asked as a question.

"No, I'm not busy," You told him honestly. After your cousins had left, you actually ended up spending most of your time alone in your room eating snacks and watching YouTube or movies, so you couldn't classify that as being busy.

"Will you go to the pool with me?" He clearly recited, proud that he had rehearsed and performed it correctly. After an hour of practicing in his room, he was glad that he had succeeded. Now he was just nervous about what you would say.

You were slightly taken aback by his request. You had never been asked to go anywhere with anybody, so this was a first for you. You figured Jungkook was getting pretty bored just sitting at home with the elder couple so really it was no wonder that he wanted to get out.

"Sure," You agreed, causing a relieved and bright smile from him. "Let me ask my mom."

"YES!" Came your mom's voice, calling out from some other room in the house. You rolled your eyes. What a snoop.

"Alright then, let me change and then we'll walk there."

"OK," He readily agreed, and began playing with Cookie while he waited for you. You returned shortly, not taking long to change into your bathing suit, put on some flip flops, and grab a towel. You also brought a change of clothes.

"Come on," You motioned, and he hurriedly followed you out the door.

The two of you walked down the road as the sun beat down with waves of unending heat.

"Hot," Jungkook muttered, and you couldn't help but agree with him as you pulled your hair up in a ponytail to get the sweat off of your neck.

Fortunately, the public pool wasn't too far away from your houses.

Jungkook smiled widely upon the sight of the enticing and bustling pool area full of people splashing and creating waves. His eyes were immediately drawn to the water slide. Meanwhile you looked at the pool full of people and sighed, dreading all the interactions that were sure to occur in the public area. You paid for entrance while Jungkook watched.

As you got a beach chair to put all of your stuff on, you noticed him looking at the water in anticipation, bouncing a little.

"You can go ahead if you want, I'll be right there," You informed him while folding the towels carefully and motioning with your hands that he could go in the water. He looked hesitant at first but finally nodded. With extreme speed, he ran and jumped into the pool, laughing in joy. You had forgotten how addicting the sound of his laugh was and stopped what you were doing; completely mesmerized.
