POV YOU

It's another hot day of July and I am currently taking a stroll in the park, trying to relax after a day of hard work. The notes of AC/DC's 'Shoot to Thrill' are dancing around in my headphones, my favorite band, and I start tapping my fingers on the purse at the rhythm of the song. I really can't help myself when I hear their music.

I stop near the lake to admire the amazing sunset right before my eyes. The sky is colored by red and orange highlights and the warmth of the last sun rays of the day are gently caressing my face now. I close my eyes and stretch out my arms: feels like paradise.
All of a sudden, I feel a push from behind, I make a few uncertain steps, desperately trying to regain my balance but I fail miserably falling in the lake before me.

- Oh my God! – I hear someone say exactly before my impact with the surface of the water.
After returning to the surface I coughed a few times before I turn my gaze up and notice a guy with dark hair and a preoccupied expression across his face. His eyes were painted by a disarming tenderness and the facial features were somewhat delicate. 

There are two possibilities: weather I have drowned and I'm seeing an angel for the first time, or simply this guy is just breath taking!

He stretches his hand out for me to grab and helps me out of the water. Obviously I accept his help without having to think twice.
- I'm so sorry! – I hear him say – I was just walking while watching the sunset and I think that I've pushed you while I was stretching my arms out! –

- Don't even worry about it – I answer with a smile. – It was only a stretching issue and the great news is that I wasn't wearing much makeup so you can be spared the sight of me as a human opossum. Well, you and the world – I continued, bursting into a slight laugh.
I see the boy's face relax, while his mouth assumes a gentle curvature.
- I don't think I would've been scandalized by the view. – he softly replied.

I pick up my purse that fell to the ground along with my cell phone. Well, at least I was lucky, it hadn't fallen into the water and I didn't have to buy a new one.
I grab my long hair on one side and start squeezing the water out and I look back at the boy in front of me who is now looking curiously at my body.
Instinctively, I look at myself too and realized for the first time how I was looking: my wet clothes were completely stuck to my body and it was easy to see my curves almost as if I were naked.

Jesus... what an embarrassing moment!
I gave up trying to get rid of the water from my hair and quickly tried to cross my arms in front of my chest to cover myself as best I could while I saw an amused smile shining on the face of the mysterious boy in front of me.
At least he's having fun.

- I have to say that you have already seen enough of me to be the first time you meet me. - I said trying to mask the embarrassment.
- In the end it was my fault if you are in these conditions.- he tells me fixing his gaze on mine.
Wow! There is something fascinating and terribly sensual in his eyes ... I remain enchanted looking at them as if they were a magnet.

- To repay you I offer you the room of my hotel, you can dry yourself there. It's not very far from here too. –
- Excuse me, but I feel compelled to ask you, usually when you make these kind of proposals to girls, they accept? - I ask raising my eyebrows in disbelief.

He lowers his head, in order to reach the height of my eyes, dangerously approaching my face:
- Usually they are the ones who make these proposals to me. - he replied in a low voice.

Ok, my heartbeat is definitely accelerating and I feel hot flushes rising in my cheeks. Oh come on Y/N, calm down!
- Oh yeah... that explains the line of girls behind you. - I ironically say pointing to the nothing behind him.
This time it was him who burst into laughter.
- Come with me, you can't go around the city dressed up like this, can you? Besides, aside of the tainted reputation, you'll also get a cold with those wet clothes on you. –

A cold? In freaking July? Is he high?

POV JUNGKOOK

- Come with me, you can't go around the city dressed up like this, can you? Besides, aside of the tainted reputation, you'll also get a cold with those wet clothes on you. –

Yeah, right, in the middle of the summer someone will catch a cold just because of some wet clothes. Great thinking Jungkook!
I realized the stupidity of my thought only after having already said it, but I had the desire to remain in her company.

I don't know why, but this girl intrigued me, she had long hair, brown and lively eyes and a pretty athletic body from what I had already seen... Nothing incredibly hot, but still.
There is also the thing that seems like she doesn't have the slightest idea who I was, she probably didn't even know our band and it's nice to talk to someone who treats you like a simple human being.
I saw that she did not answer, so I leaned back towards her:
- Don't worry, I'm not a serial killer and I have no intention of taking advantage of you. – I said laughing.
She gave me a very bright smile. Wow, I rectify what I said before: she's beautiful when she smiles.
- Ok... – I hear her say - ... I live far enough from here and since this situation has happened because of you, it seems to me more than right that you make it up to me. -
