Chapter 28 - 풀 (PUR)[Pool}

~The Next Morning~

Roxi P.O.V

"Roxi? Hey, Roxi."

I felt a finger softly prod my cheeks and the sunlight streamed through my opened eyelids. I hissed and covered my face with the blanket.

"5 more minutes."I whine, squeezing my eyes shut while two hands tickled my sides.

"No, we have to get up and get ready. Tonight's the awards ceremony."

I sigh and pull the blanket off my top half. Jimin used his right arm to hold his head up and he gave me a cheeky, dare I say cute, closed-eyed smile in response to my hard glare."Ohayo~"

"Ohayo."I say back, pinching his cheeks.

I lay in bed, realizing that I had still been clinging onto him even in my sleep by the look of my right arm that was still wrapped around his side. I blush and sit up, rubbing my face with my hands. Jimin got out of bed and told me he was going to go take a shower before it was time to go down for breakfast. I nod and take my charging phone from the lamp-charger and look through my notifications.

Hoseok: Did you sleep well? <3 Can't wait for the ceremony tonight!

Namjoon: Ohayooo~

Yoongi: sup

Jin: Jungkookie and I left something outside your door for you <3

Jungkook: Noona! Jin-hyung and I left you a present! Hope you like it! <3

Tae: After breakfast we'll be hanging out at the hotel for the rest of the day to relax want to go to the pool? (~^-^)~

I text them all back and jump from Jimin's bed to my bed, pulling my suitcase onto the mattress and looking through it for a swimsuit. It was pretty warm today, this weather pattern confuses me. I decide to wear my black swimsuit, which ended up being a bikini I bought in America over the summer, the white t-shirt I was wearing right now, and stressed jean shorts. I slipped on some bamboo platforms and Jimin walked out into the main room ready for breakfast.

"It's really warm outside so-"he starts, before stopping to look at my appearance."Oh, so you already know."

"Yep, I'll be going to the pool later if you'd like to join."

"Sure."he agrees, shrugging while he blowdried his hair.

I went outside our hotel room to see a small Chancy plushie on the ground as well as a note from Jin and Jungkook.

'Make sure to give this cutie a healthy and happy life! -Your Kookie & World Wide Handsome Guy'

I smiled at the cute plushie and walked back into my room to place it on my luggage bag with the note. Jimin came out of the bathroom and grabbed his stuff for the pool. We went to the lobby together to see that we were the last ones to arrive. We then went to a breakfast restaurant with the others. So far, the morning was uneventful or the same. The constant teasing of my current manager, small talk from the members, and the occasional photo here and there. Just as noon hit we were back at the hotel to rest up and relax before the ceremony tonight. Tae and Jimin hurried next to me after getting off the bus while the others followed with questioning looks.

"Where are you three going?"asked Jin, crossing his arms.

"Ah, we're just going to the pool."smirked Tae."Eomma~"

Jin rolled his eyes and reminded Tae to show him some respect because he was 'this many' years older than him and that he was 'blahblahblah'. At least that's how he imitated Jin once the hyung's back was turned for a moment so he could speak to Jungkook and the hyung line.

"Let's get going before the weather changes. Hyungs are you coming?"called Jimin, taking me and Tae's hands and dragging us into the lobby."Hurry up we don't have all day!"

The three of us laugh and walk through the split locker rooms to get ready, just as I entered I saw the older members and Jungkook run in after Jimin and Tae and I let out a chuckle."They just can't make up their minds can they?"

I go to the nearest changing stall and take off my shorts, my white t-shirt felt like it was clinging to my back in the humid air. I tucked my shorts into my backpack and spray on multiple coats of sunscreen and replaced my makeup with water-proof makeup. There may be a chance the staff would come and take our photos so I was going to make sure I still looked my best. Closing the stall, I stop and check myself in one of the body mirrors next to the exit. My hair was going to get ruined if I leave it down.

"I guess I'll wear it up."I sigh, taking a hair-tie from one of the filled side pockets of my bag and using my hands as a comb I pull my hair into a messy bun. I tucked the stray hair into the bun and take out some baby hairs to frame my face. My look was beachy and fun, I look myself over; from my legs to my breasts, thanking my parents for my hourglass curves as I walked out of the dressing room. The pool was empty, all except for Jungkook, Tae, Hoseok, and Jimin. Namjoon was underneath an umbrella listening to music with Yoongi and Jin. There were a few staff members to keep an eye on us and my gaze landed on my temporary manager who was underneath an umbrella on the other side of the pool. I shrug my shoulders and walk up to her, placing my stuff on a beach chair next to hers.

"Sup Roxi."she greets cooly, adding another layer of sunscreen to her skin."Why do you still have your shirt on? Go play in the water."

"I'm not a kid you know."I chuckle, laying down on my beach chair and taking in the view of the forest and silhouettes of faraway mountain ranges.

"You sure do act like one."she says, throwing me a bottle of water."Here, you look bloated."

I pout and take the bottle anyway, making her laugh at my childishness."I'm just messing with you."

"I know."I smile, looking over at the pool."I mean, I'll go in if you do."

"Are you kidding? I want to work on my tan."she lies, gesturing to the umbrella that sat over her."My non-existent tan that is."

I sigh and get up from my beach chair."You're boring you know."

"I know."she says, looking at me through her sunglasses.

I walk over to the hyung line who was sitting on beach chairs across the pool from us. Yoongi was the first one to take notice of me and gave me a small wave.

"Hey Roxi, want to have a seat?"asked Namjoon, gesturing to a chair between him and Yoongi.

"Sure, thanks."I sit down underneath the shade of the umbrella and the four of us take in the scenery with the faint music in the background.

Just as a few minutes passed by I closed my eyes decided to rest my eyes from the bright sunlight for a while. Just as I did that I felt myself getting thrown over someone's shoulder and into the pool, it was like a slap to the face. I swam up with ease and looked at my attacker who laughed at the edge of the pool.

"Tae-oppa..."I growl, I swim up to him and grab his ankle, pulling him into the pool.

He lets out an exaggerated squeal and sinks to the bottom like a rock. I waded to my chair next to my manager and threw my soaked shirt onto her dry form. She squeaks and sprays some water at me, not like I wasn't covered in it already. I turn around to see the hyungs already getting dragged into the pool by the maknae line. I laughed and waded over to them my hair falling out of my bun and over my face.

"Tae-oppa, I will get you back."I mumble, splashing water at him.

"But I thought you already got me back!"he said, splashing my back.

"But you enjoy the water!"I snap, slapping my hair against his face while he laughs wildly.

"Then what was the point of wearing a swimsuit?"he debates, thinking of a comeback.

"You surprised me! I was gonna go to the water sooner or later."I pout, thwacking his forehead."Baka."

I stand on the floor of the pool and watch as they all play in the water. They even got Yoongi to socialize with them too.

"Hello."greets Namjoon, leaning against the wall of the pool with me.

"Hey Namjoon-oppa. Why aren't you playing too?"

"You seemed lonely."he says bluntly, flashing his dimples."You know...if you want we can get out of here and explore the town, how about that?"

"Won't your managers get mad?"I giggle, rolling my eyes at his mischievous side.

"No, not unless they find out."he smirks.

"You're so troublesome Namjoon-oppa."I sigh, walking toward the ladder."I'll leave first and just meet me in front of the elevator on floor 10 when I text you."

"Alright. So maybe, thirty minutes?"he proposes.

"Yeah, see ya then."I say, getting out of the water.
