Yoongi, Jungkook and Taehyung waited at the entrance of Hangang Park’s public swimming pool for the other boys to arrive - the heat from the bright sun slowly getting to them despite the light breeze. Jungkook let out a small sigh and wiped the slight perspiration that had started to pool around his hairline. Both Yoongi and Taehyung were on their phones averting their focus onto their social networking applications rather than the sun. Abruptly striking some attention from the other two boys, Yoongi groaned in frustration.

“What’s taking them so long?” Yoongi asked with irritation. Taehyung placed his phone back in his pocket and faced the annoyed boy through his sunglasses.

“Jin just texted me and they’re like two minutes away. Plus they’re not late, we’re just early,” he replied running his hands through his new dyed orange hair. Yoongi rolled his eyes behind his also sunglass-clad face.

“We’ve only waited for five minutes Hyung,” Jungkook chimed in. He knew how impatient his brother could get, especially if he was the one to arrive first and had to do the waiting. The bottom line was…that Yoongi does not wait for anyone - Jungkook being the only exception.

“Yeah just relax Yoongi, didn’t know you wanted to see Hoseok that bad,” Taehyung teased. Yoongi scoffed in return while Jungkook raised a brow.

“Hoseok? Was he the guy who was sitting next to you in Starbucks?” the youngest asked. Before Yoongi was able to answer, Taehyung intercepted.

“He’s the guy that your brother has a crush on,” the orange haired boy sang. “Such a small world though, who would’ve thought that he was the Hobi you were talking about,” he commented. Yoongi hummed in response.

“Ooh is he a potential? It’s been a while since your last boyfriend Yoongi-hyung,” Jungkook said. The latter opened his mouth to reply back before Taehyung once again interrupted.

“There they are! Jinnie!” he called out waving his arm towards the group of guys who were making their way over.

“Hey we aren’t late are we?” Jin asked as he looked at the time. Taehyung shook his head.

“No baby, we’re just early,” he replied before giving his boyfriend a quick kiss. Namjoon had his nose to his phone while Jimin eagerly went over to Jungkook’s side. Yoongi eyed them from his place with pursed lips. Hoseok noticed the other’s unimpressed look causing him to chuckle as he walked over to Yoongi.

“Someone’s overprotective,” Hoseok teased. Yoongi scoffed in return. “I take it that you’re not liking Jimin already,” he stated.

“Just a little, I wouldn’t have this problem if he didn't hit on my brother,” Yoongi offered. Hoseok hummed in agreement.

“Don’t worry Jimin has an ego but he’s actually harmless,” he said. Yoongi raised a brow behind his sunglasses and turned to the other.

“Seriously? He looks like a player,” the brown haired boy replied. Hoseok let out a bark of laughter.

“Oh Yoongi, that’s rich. I’ve known that boy for as long as I can remember, trust me I can tell when he wants to play or when he wants to settle,” Hoseok reassured. Yoongi sighed with a bit of relief.

“That makes me feel somewhat better, but I’m still going to keep an eye on him,” the petite boy said firmly. The taller smiled at the love and care flowing through Yoongi’s words. Basically reminding him of his older sister who was just as protective as Yoongi. She always demanded that his boyfriends needed approval from her or it wasn’t going to happen.

“Hey Jungkook-ah,” Jimin greeted with a smirk. Jungkook gave him a sweet smile and a small wave.

“Hi Jimin-sshi,” he replied. The shorter boy showcased the most charming smile that he could muster.

“Has anyone ever told you that you have big, beautiful eyes?” he flirted. Jungkook giggled at the compliment and covered his mouth with his palm.

“Not usually, especially if I’ve only met them the day before,” the younger boy offered.

Jimin grinned wider,

“I really wished you stayed longer, then we really could’ve gotten to know each other.” Meanwhile, Yoongi and Hoseok eavesdropped on the others’ conversation – least to say Yoongi was inwardly seething. Hoseok felt the figurative steam emanating from the boy next to him, feeling bold he wrapped his arm around the other’s waist and rubbed it comfortingly. Yoongi’s face softened as he sighed pleasurably at the nice feeling causing Hoseok to freeze and his confidence to rapidly float away from his body. He was about to remove his arm before Yoongi’s hand appeared on top of his keeping it in place.

“Thanks…I needed that,” Yoongi said slyly. Hoseok blushed and chuckled nervously.

“N-no problem,” he stuttered. He cursed himself once again for stuttering while Yoongi giggled away at his cute gestures.

“Yah you two sets of love birds over there! Let’s go inside!” Taehyung yelled with his Daegu accent showing. Jin cringed at the sudden screech that unfortunately was right next to his ear.

“Honey, was that necessary?” Jin asked. Taehyung looked at him and nodded firmly with a small pout on his lips.

“Did you not see them? If I don’t yell they won’t hear me,” he sassed.

“They’re only a few steps away,” Jin sighed.

“It did the job didn’t it?” Taehyung asked.

“Yeah but-”

“Then your statement is invalid. Now let’s go shall we?” Jin sighed at the other as he nodded. He followed his boyfriend’s lead while the other’s trailed behind them with Jimin and Jungkook in the middle row and Yoongi and Hoseok at the back. The conversations started again while they waited in line for entry.

“So what were you saying before Taehyung interrupted us?” Jimin brought up smoothly. Jungkook looked slightly confused.

“I-I didn’t say anything Jimin-sshi,” replied the taller boy. Jimin quickly covered up his slip with a chuckle.

“Just for you, you can call me Jimin-ah,” he flirted. ‘ that was a close one,’ Jimin thought.

“Noted Jimin-ah,” Jungkook said cheerfully.  The two were obliviously unaware of Yoongi’s attention on their conversation. The protective brother huffed at the sight.

“Suuuuggaaa,” Hoseok called out cutely. Yoongi’s hard expression immediately left and was replaced with a pleasant smile. He turned to face the other that had a pout on his face that caused him to chuckle.

“Yes Hobi?” he replied. Hoseok puffed out his cheeks.

‘Ugh so cute,’ Yoongi thought.

“Talk to meeeee,” the dark haired boy whined childishly. The elder couldn’t resist the urge and pinched the other’s cheek.

“Okay, okay I’m sorry I ignored you,” Yoongi apologized. “How about you distract me from now on?” he offered cheekily.

“Y-you mean like before or just like t-talking?” Hoseok blushed at the thought of touching Yoongi’s waist again.

Yoongi smiled seductively. “Whatever you find most effective,” he said with a low voice.

After getting through the gates, the group scouted for a spot where they could settle for the day. Fortunately it was easy to find a suitable spot as it was during work hours on a weekday with kids still in school. “Oh perfect there’s seven chairs here,” Hoseok pointed out.

“Yeah good scouting Hobi,” Jimin stated. Namjoon, Jin and Taehyung had already settled their bags on their respective reclined pool chairs. Yoongi decided to stick with his baby brother but unfortunately it seemed that Jungkook fancied Jimin’s company. Jungkook had picked the spot in between two unoccupied, which naturally invited Jimin to take the left side with Yoongi on the right. However, undoubtedly it also worked in Hoseok’s favour since he was aiming to grab a spot next to the brown haired boy.

“Ahh such nice weather today,” Jimin said as he stretched.

“Yeah it’s nice and sunny, can’t wait to get into the water,” Jungkook replied enthusiastically as he took his shoes off.

“Way ahead of you!” Taehyung yelled as he ran past and canon-balled into the pool. The others watched in amusement - Namjoon flinched as he felt droplets of water from the splash on his legs. The orange haired boy surfaced quickly and wiped the water from his face grinning widely. “C’mon! The water is so nice!” he exclaimed before floating away. Jimin gave Jungkook another one of his charming smiles.

“Well, better go join him,” he said cheekily. The seated boy nodded returning the smile.

“Soon, I’ll probably just put on some sunscreen,” Jungkook said as he rummaged through his bag to find the bottle of sun protection. Jimin bit his lip.

“Did you need help?” he asked slyly. Obviously unaware of Yoongi’s hawk-like watch, the elder immediately interrupted.

“No it’s fine, you go ahead and swim. I’ll help Kookie,” Yoongi said obnoxiously. Hoseok who watched from afar chuckled as Jimin awkwardly paused trying to come up with a reply.

“O-oh that’s cool…I was going to change anyways,” Jimin tried to play off. Yoongi kept a curt smile.

“Goodie, the change rooms are right over there,” he said as he pointed at the direction. The shorter boy nodded and grabbed a hold of his bag. Hoseok felt somewhat sorry for the other as he failed in his attempts to woo Jungkook and decided to accompany him to the change rooms.

“Hey Jimin, I need to get changed too, I’ll come with,” he stated as he hoisted his bag back onto his shoulder. Going unnoticed, Jin and Jimin made eye contact both with a small cheeky grin within their gaze.

“I’ll come with you guys too,” Jin said casually hoping that Hoseok didn’t see. The latter shrugged before heading off with the other two.

Yoongi’s gaze trailed the three boys that left as he sighed in relief. He turned to look at his brother to meet big puppy eyes staring at him accompanied with a pout. “You didn’t have to do that Hyung, I’m not stupid,” Jungkook murmured. The elder sighed again before he sat down next to the younger on the long poolside chair.

“Kookie I just-” Jungkook intercepted Yoongi’s words with a hug.

“Hyung, I’m okay…really. I’m just having a bit of fun…he’s cute and all but I’m not interested in Jimin anyway,” he reassured firmly. Yoongi pulled back from the hug with a smirk.

“So you’re playing him?” he asked. His younger brother returned the smirk and shrugged.

“I like the attention,” Jungkook admitted cheekily. “But I’m attracted to someone else,” he mentioned. Yoongi nodded in satisfaction.

“This is going to be fun to watch,” Yoongi snickered as Jungkook giggled. At the sound of hushed laughter and snickering, the siblings turned their heads towards the sound to see Jin and Jimin failing at keeping a casual expression.

“What are you guys snickering about?” Namjoon’s voice chimed in as he walked towards the small crowd. Jimin couldn’t contain his chuckles.

“You’ll see,” Jin smirked as he glanced back at the change rooms. “Well, I’m gonna go jump in the pool now,” he said as he swiftly took off his shirt and tossed it over onto his reclined chair all in one motion. Jin walked away from the group and spotted Taehyung floating peacefully. The group howled in laughter as they witnessed the elder cannonball into the pool making the orange haired boy involuntarily dip under the water.

“We should probably join them,” Jimin stated as he gazed at Jungkook who hummed in agreement. Jimin smiled arrogantly as he slowly crossed his arms to grasp the hem of his shirt, pulling it up and over at an agonising pace. Unfortunately, the seated boy looked unfazed at the sight of the toned body causing Yoongi to snicker to the side. The half- boy made eye contact with Jungkook again as he caressed his toned abs with one hand and his shirt limp in the other. “Oh these? Yeah I used to gym, but now I just dance,” stated Jimin.

“I didn’t ask but that’s cool. Maybe we should jam sometime,” Jungkook replied back cheekily as he stood up. Yoongi stopped snickering and looked hesitantly at his baby brother who walked towards the edge of the pool with the shorter boy.

“I’d love to-” Jimin leered before he was pushed abruptly into the pool. Jungkook looked over and saw Namjoon with his hand stretched out – still lingering from pushing the other.

“Oh no, my hand slipped,” Namjoon said sarcastically as he casually walked away. Yoongi couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed so hard at something. He couldn’t help but love Namjoon more than anything at that moment. Jimin splashed frantically towards the side of the pool and grasped onto the edge tightly as he caught his breath. He glared at his silver haired friend who was now ing on the ladies.

“ing Namjoon,” Jimin muttered with annoyance. He groaned in embarrassment as he witnessed Jungkook walking back to Yoongi, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

Meanwhile, Hoseok popped his head out of the men’s change room scouting for Jin and Jimin. He growled bitterly at memory when the devious two ambushed him – they were the reasons that caused him to be in his current predicament. Hoseok clutched the towel around his waist tighter as he breathed deeply before exiting the men’s change room. He made his way back to the pool chairs where Yoongi was seated, rubbing sunscreen into his skin. “Yoongi-yah, what are you doing here by yourself?” Hoseok asked casually as he sat next to the other.

Yoongi turned around to see the other’s half- body that caused him to look the other up and down for a moment. “Kookie went ahead to save Jimin while I’m just finishing up with the sunscreen,” he replied.

“Save Jimin?” Hoseok emphasised.

“Namjoon pushed him in the pool,” snickered Yoongi as he reminisced on the moment of glory. Hobi grinned widely and let out a bark of laughter.

“Serves him right,” The dark haired boy muttered. Yoongi glanced at the other’s toned abs again and bit his lip. He grinned slyly to himself as he thought of a brilliant idea to finally stimulate more contact with the dancer.

“Hey Hobi, could you help me put on some sunscreen?” Yoongi asked. Hoseok froze as he processed Yoongi’s words through his mind.

“I-I…uhh…s-sure?” he stuttered. The brown haired boy gave him a seductive smile before he crossed his arms to grab the hem of his shirt. Hoseok bit his lip and breathed heavily when smooth, milky skin was revealed bit by bit as Yoongi slowly pulled his shirt over his head.  He gulped when Yoongi leaned in close and handed him the bottle of sunscreen along with his discarded shirt.

“It’d be great if you didn’t miss a spot,” Yoongi purred before he laid down onto his stomach, presenting Hoseok with his flawless back. Trying to take in the scene in front of him, Hoseok awkwardly fiddled with the sunscreen bottle squirting some of it into his hand. After he spread the substance over his hands, Hoseok awkwardly hovered over Yoongi’s back – completely nervous and hesitant to touch the other. “Don’t be shy, I’m not going to bite,” Yoongi faced him and offered a sensual grin. “Unless you want me to?” Hobi felt a shiver run down his spine at the change of tone.

“N-no, I’m okay…I’ll p-put it on now,” Hoseok managed. He placed his palms firmly onto the back of Yoongi’s shoulders, gently rubbing the sunscreen into the soft skin. Yoongi let out a shameless moan at the pleasure that caused Hoseok to freeze momentarily in shock at the beautiful sound.

“That feels good, keep going,” murmured Yoongi. The dark haired boy continued to spread the sun protection trying to take his mind off thoughts about the person lying down beside him. His hands travelled down, unintentionally tracing Yoongi’s spine. The elder abruptly jerked once Hoseok’s fingers caressed over his lower back. “Ahh Hobi,” he moaned.

Hoseok immediately retracted his hands and stood up rapidly – his towel almost dropping. “All done! I-I’m going to s-swim now,” he exclaimed frantically.

“Oh Hobi wait,” Yoongi called out as he grabbed onto Hoseok’s towel just as the other was about to walk away. Before Hoseok could react, the next thing he knew Yoongi was once again gaping at him and his towel was completely removed from his lower half – revealing his Speedos. “Oh my,” Yoongi said. Out of sheer panic, Hoseok bolted towards the pool and jumped in.

“Yay you’re getting it! I told you it was easy!” Jungkook encouraged as he held Jimin’s hands while the other was paddling his feet furiously. The shorter boy relaxed his legs onto the bottom of the pool since they were at the shallow end.

“This is so embarrassing,” Jimin huffed.

“Aww it’s okay. Nothing to be ashamed of,” Jungkook offered. Jimin pouted.

“It’s not like I can’t swim…I can, just not very well,” he muttered bitterly. The taller boy smiled softly.

“Cheer up Jimin-ah, you’ll get the hang of it,” cooed Jungkook. “Did you want to practice some more?” he asked. Jimin huffed childishly.

“No. There’s enough people staring as it is.” Jungkook couldn’t help but chuckle at the other boy. Suddenly he heard a big splash behind him, which startled both him and Jimin. Jungkook turned around and saw that it was Hoseok that resurfaced from the water – whipping his hair side to side and wiping the excess water from his face. He shamelessly checked out Hoseok’s lithe, toned body and looked away just before the other looked up at him.

“Oh hey Jungkook,” he greeted cheerfully. Jungkook faced him and returned the gesture.

“Hi Hoseok-hyung,” he greeted back. “What’re you doing on the shallow end?” Jungkook asked casually.

“Yeeeaaahh I didn’t know that this was the shallower end…” said Hoseok wincing as he rubbed his foot. Kookie noticed the sign of pain in Hoseok’s face and immediately went over to him. Jimin watched the scene played out in front of him with suspicion.

“Oh my god, are you okay?” Jungkook asked with concern. Hoseok wriggled his foot under the water and shrugged.

“I’ll be fine, it’s nothing,” He brushed off. “Thanks for worrying Jungkook-ah, you’re too kind,” Hoseok said gratefully. Jungkook blushed and tried to contain his smile.

“You can call me Kookie,” he said sweetly.

“Haha if you say so,” Hoseok chuckled. Jimin’s eyes suddenly widened as he realised what had played out in front of him.

Jungkook was interested in Hoseok.
