Chap 24 - Vaca #1
I grumpily sat on my sit, trying to process what just happened. I know my brother and my mother can be a little out of hand when it comes to my relationship, actually scratch that they get carried away with everything involving me, but this is too much. When he said he kidnapped V, he wasn't lying he freaking did kidnapped him.
"I hope I brought everything" My brother hopped on his sit with a worried look on his face.
I sighed, "You did, you freaking brought your whole wardrobe" I lazily slumped back on my chair and glance across our sit where V was sitting who seems to be having trouble with breathing. A smile appeared on my glossy lips, he never been on a plane? That's cute.
My brother averted his eyes away from his mirror and looked at me with a sly smirk plastered on his face. I quickly looked away and stared at the airplane window, he's making this so hard than it already is.
"You bad boy, stop checking out your ex" my head snapped in his direction once again. Glowering at him, he just gave me yet another one of his innocent smile.
"I wasn't" I said in denial, trying to hide a small blush on my already rosy cheeks.
"I still can't believe you're doing this to me" I whined as I pulled my knees up to my chest.
"Doing what?" he asked innocently, that look that always gets me into trouble.
"It's so obvious that you're trying to get us back together"
He gave me a bored expression making me frown, "Well that's true, what did you expect from me?" he replied with a playful grin.
I let out yet another small sigh "Why are you doing this anyways?"
Adjusting his sit he looked at V first before looking back at me with a smile, not a smirk or a grin but a smile. "Because I don't want you to end up like me" he said his eyes flashed a sign of sadness, an expression I rarely seen on my brother. I gave him a gentle hug realizing how selfish I was. Behind my brother's craziness, and carefree smile was a broken man.
"Did you visit him yet?" I finally asked with my voice cracking.
I felt him shivered causing my heart to ache for him, he was like a glass right now, so fragile as if a simple touch will break him.
"Yeah" he said partially quiet as he pulled away from our hug with a fake smile masking his true emotions. "It's actually the real reason for pulling you and him" he said nodding towards V who was looking outside the plane window with awe "to this vacation, I needed something to cheer me up" he explained making me smile in return.
"You mean seeing me suffer" I asked with a chuckle.
He grinned, "Partially" we both laughed, the tension between us disappearing.
I'm really glad to have my brother with me right now, as surprising as it sounds he's the person I look up to the most. Even after his boyfriend died three years ago, he coped with it, he stayed strong, he smiled through the pain and sorrow. That's one of the characteristic I admire the most, I can't help but feel jealous of how beautiful he is inside and out.
"You should talk to him" I gave him a small smile before looking down my lap. I'm not ready to talk to him because I'm afraid that if I did I'll find out the truth, I'm terrified what will happen next after everything is cleared out.
"I'm not ready yet" I said casually, trying to facade my emotions.
He sighed as he crossed his leg, "That's how I felt too you know, when Namjoon and I broke up" I looked at him, not sure if I'm ready to hear what he had to say. " A part of me said go run back to him, talk to him and a part of me said forget about him, that we weren't meant to be" he paused for a second before continuing. "You know what I did?" he asked me.
"You went to talk to him?" I guessed feeling weak by the minute.
"Sort a" I carefully listened to him and waited for him say more. "It was an awful feeling when somebody tells you that your boyfriend was cheating on you. I was heartbroken I didn't listen to his explanation; it took me a couple of day to realize that I needed to go after him, that talking was the only way to clear up my mind. When I did decide to go after him, I was too late, and he was already gone"
That painful smile on his face earlier was still on his lips, "I soon found out that it was just a misunderstanding he never really cheated on me. I regretted not talking to him sooner, that's when I realize that I was so stupid to let the only person that can fill my stomach with butterflies go just like that. That's when I realize that he's been the one all along, I didn't need to find anyone else." He paused once again, and stayed silent unable to speak.
"Anyways my only advice to you, try and take the risk. Who knows maybe it'll come out good or maybe not?"
I gave him a meek smile before returning my eyes outside where it was filled with clouds, if only I could be free just like them. "Thanks Seokjin" I mumbled.
"You are very welcome" just when I thought my brother was finally normal, I thought wrong.
"V!" I heard him shout his name, and my head instantly snapped in his direction giving him daggers.
V looked at our direction with a questionable look written all over his face, he still looked a little flustered from the new environment. I can honestly say that he looked utterly cute when he's lost. I can' help but notice was his eyes flickered and found mine but soon left it causing him to blush.
"Jungkook is not feeling very well, can you look after him while I go to the stewardess to get some medicine?" he asked with glee making every passenger's eyes on us.
I'm going to kill him, one moment we were talking normal for once and here he is ruining the moment I've waited my whole life. I took a small glimpse of V from the corner of my eyes, he seem to be arguing with himself.
"Uh I guess" he said quite unsure with his response.
Seokjin chirped with happiness and hopped of the sit making his way to the front of the plane. V stood up as well and sat down beside me, our arms brushing slightly causing me to feel a little light headed. He still has this affect on me, but I still need to stick with my plan even if my brother's little story earlier kind a made me feel uneasy.
"Erm, how are you feeling?" he asked, I looked up and found two concerned brown orbs looking me.
Get yourself together Jungkook, I hissed at myself. "I'm fine" I said monotone. I still remember those hurtful words he said to me, he didn't want anything to do with me.
He gave me a small smile, but soon his smile faded exchanging it with a serious look. It was quite similar from the look he had given me in the gym. Every time I repeated those exact words he said to me, I can't help but think that he meant the opposite of it. That he wanted to be close to me, that he still loved me. I ignored my hopefulness and facade my face with a facade expression.
Looking around, I found my brother on the other side of the plane who was mouthing me to talk to him. He looked frustrated but I just looked at him in a bored expression. Time will come when I'm ready to face everything but still my brother's story really struck me, hard.

We finally landed on a private beach resort in the Bahamas, the sun was shining, and the waves were peacefully washing on the shore, it was perfect. Sinking my feet on the warm sand, I let wind take me to that peaceful place. Even for just a second I want to feel free from anything. I opened my eyes, grab my bags, and walked over to my brother who was talking to one of the employees.
"I'm sorry sir but there's only two rooms left, since the others are being renovated" the man in the black polo explained.
"Oh that's a problem" my brother said as he raked his hand to his hair.
"That's fine bro, we can just share a room" I said walking over to them.
My brother sighed and nodded "Fine, we'll share a room. V can have the other one" the tone on his voice was filled with disappointment and I know exactly why.
"You were planning on making me share a room with him aren't you?" I hissed.
He gave me a small push on the shoulder while laughing "Of course not silly" I rolled my eyes and asked the man to bring us to our rooms.
"Right this way" he said with a friendly smile.
We followed the man to the right side corner of the beach where our hut was located. It looked really pretty, not too small but not too big. My brother said that renting a beach hut was much better than reserving a room in a hotel, I agree with him though we were ten times closer to the beach.
"This looks cute" I commented as I dropped my bags on the porch. The view was amazing, we were farther away from the other huts so there weren't any noise but the waves washing on the shore and the birds chirping. I looked over my brother who was thanking the man and gave him a tip.
"This is perfect, It looks very cozy doesn't it?" he asked with glee. "Come on V don't be shy"
V nodded and gave him a small smile; he followed my brother and passed by me. Letting out a sigh, I followed them inside. I found my brother and V laughing while they grabbed the bags and head over to the room. I can't help but frown and feel a little jealous. Sitting on the wooden couch, I waited for them to come back.
"I'm sorry for kidnapping you like that, it's just more fun than asking" he said with a laugh and V laughed along.
"Its fine really, this is actually my first time out of California. A little adventure can't hurt right?"
I watched him slightly stunned; they look so calm and comfortable with each other. I remember how we used to look like that, how we used to laugh as if nobody was around. A pang of sadness struck me causing me to stand up and go to my room.
"I'm going to change" I said monotone.
"Aren't you going to wait for us?" he asked but I ignored him. I'm not in the mood anymore, all I want is to lie under the sun.
I grabbed my swimsuit and change. Packing the stuff I needed and put on my sunglasses and walked outside, the sun hitting my skin making me shiver. V and my brother was nowhere in sight, I guess their changing as well.
Taking my time I walked on the sandy beach, the feeling of sand tickling my feet made me smile. I'm glad I agree to this vacation, I seriously need to get away from the city and from my so-called father. Mental note: talk to father after this vacation, he was some serious explaining to do. Taking a glance around, I found a free beach chair near a few groups of people. I took off my sunglasses and lie down, enjoying the feeling of the small breeze, and the sound of the waves. Looking to my right, there were a group of guys who was playing volleyball. Some of them looking at me with lust; I gave them an innocent smile in return. There were also girls who was sun bathing a couple steps away from me, I can't help but feel like a loner.
"Jungkook" I heard my brother shout across the beach causing the whole beach to look at him, I was so embarrass I didn't bother to look.
All of the sudden the group of girls sat up and smiled flirtatiously causing me to frown in confusion, what's there problem? It's like they seen a model. Following their eyes, my mouth flew open and my eyes widened in shock. There he was wearing nothing but a beach short, a white necklace surrounding his neck. He's glasses was nowhere in sight making his brown eyes to pop out beautifully. What shocked me the most was his perfectly toned body, I soon found myself stuck staring at him.
"Can I get my shirt back Seokjin?" he asked feeling uncomfortable.
"Why? You look gorgeous" my brother commented, looking at me with a smirk.
My frown deepen as I looked away from V, I was still in shock from his transformation. Yeah I've seen him without his glasses, but I ever seen him without his shirt off. Is it bad that I don't want anyone else seeing that side of him?
"Can I sit here?" V asked and my brother walked away, a devilish grin still plastered on his lips as he mouthed 'goodluck'.
I grabbed my sunglasses and lay down once again, "Why are you asking me? I don't own it" I said coming out a little harsh. He looked hurt and shocked at the same time, I can't blame him though I'm shocked myself. Come on Jungkook man up! You're supposed to be hiding your emotions.
He took a sit beside me as he looked over the ocean with that look on his face that makes me want to hug him and never let go. I was about to apologize when a group of girls came up to us blocking my sun. One of them casually sat dangerously close to V, making me want to rip that blonde hair of hers.
"Hi" she said with a flirty smile.
V looked at her but didn't smile, "hey"
The girl was a little taken back from V's reaction but soon hid it with yet another one of her fake smiles, "I'm Sunhi, what's your name?"
"Taehyung"
Sunhi giggled out of nowhere making me want to barf, she then trailed her hand on V's necklace which made V flinch slightly. The other girls giggled, "Aww he's so cute" they cooed.
Why should I be affected of this? it's not like we're together still.
"Excuse me" I said controlling myself from jumping on them, their eyes landed on mine with annoyance, "You're blocking my sun, can you move?" I said monotone.
They glowered at me, "Why don't you move?"
"Who are you anyways? Do you know him Taehyung?" Sunhi asked with disgust.
"Yeah, he's a friend of mine" he said with a smile. Friend? I hate that word, I hate them, I hate him.
"really?" she chuckled mockingly.
"Did this tramp paid you to say that?" she said looking at me with a smirk.
"What? No!"
That's all? That's it? Why isn't he pushing them away, why isn't he doing anything? I feel so humiliated. I looked at V with disappointed look and walked away angrily. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him so much.
"Kookie" he yelled, I kept on walking.
"Kookie" V soon catches up to me, grabbed my arm and spun me around. But my frown fell when I my eyes found his angelic face, Stupid him and his stupid looks. I still can't get use to how different he looks, and I hate it.
"What?" I hissed.
"Are you ok?" he asked looking at me with concern.
I stared at him before answering, "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because of those girls" he explained, I can't help but notice how he held my hand so gently.
Somehow I can't let go, "I'm fine V, ok? Just go, their waiting for you" I looked away from him, waiting for the moment he will let go of my hand.
"But-"
"V stop being so fucking annoying, just go already" I was so mad that I didn't get a chance to stop myself from saying those words. It shocked him as much as it shocked me, his face was cover in pain but soon disguise it with an emotionless look.
"Just go" I said once again before leaving him there, don't look back Jungkook just keep walking.
