"Missed me?"

They turned to look at the girl and froze at her sudden appearance. Jimin was right behind the girl named Soo Jin, his hand resting on her waist as if he was trying to prove something to us. I was carefully eyeing her before I noticed Jimin with his gaze on me. He gives me the creeps sometimes. He ran his hand down the girl's arm and locked their fingers together.

Wtf you trying to do now?

I rolled my eyes at him. I didn't think anyone would notice but Taehyung did. He held my hand and helped me take in the situation. I didn't know what to make of it. I didn't know who the girl was or where she came from or the fact that everybody knew her. I did not know anything.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was right beside Jin, who was across the table from me. The others, well, I could guess by the look on their faces that they do not like the situation either but none of them would tell me why. What is up with this new girl?

Taehyung took a step forward then I saw Jungkook stand up from his seat, going to her. They gave her a hug and she did the same, putting her hands on their backs as if they owned them. She smiled as she pulled away from them, "I missed you guys. Why didn't you ever visit me?"

Taehyung and Jungkook didn't speak so Jimin took the chance to answer for them. "Soo Jin, don't be upset. You know it was hardest for them to see you in your worst state."

"I guess.." She thought about it before flashing a smile at them. She stole a glance at Yoongi who seemed indifferent with everything that's happening, "but now I'm alright! Just a little more therapy sessions and I can come out of the hospital."

"Yeah." Jungkook smiled at her but it was so obvious, his concern over the girl.

Taehyung, however, had his concern on Jimin. He worries for the boy because he's blinded by his infatuation with Soo Jin and his hatred for Yoongi.

Jimin was the only one who was happy. Everyone in the room had the same blank expression, even Taehyung and Jungkook, who I learned later used to be the close to her too. They knew she wasn't well enough to be here, more especially to see Yoongi.

"Anyway, we're going down to the beach." Hoseok tried changing the subject, seeing that Yoongi was already building a wall between them. He wanted to just leave.

"I'd love to go!" Soo Jin chimed, clapping her hands together with a smile on her face, knowing that Yoongi would be there. She turned to Jimin and her next gestures almost made me puke, "Can we join them please?"

Jimin brushed strands of her hair behind her ear and smiled down at her, "Of course."

"What the hell is happening? Someone explain please." I mumbled under my breath which made Namjoon smile.

"Chill babe." Namjoon told me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, I heard that." Taehyung immediately took his place between me and Namjoon.

"Oh." Soo Jin butted in again. She turned to our direction and looked at me for the first time, "We haven't been introduced yet. I'd like to get to know you before I go. I think we'll be good friends."

"Mara, my name's Mara st. Claire." I sent her the realest smile I could come up with even though I was dying inside. I don't know why exactly but my blood boils when I see her. I just knew I hated her the moment I walked in on them sucking each other's faces.

I'm not jealous, right? No. I'm not. Never for Park Jimin.

"I'm Soo Jin. I'm childhood friends with Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook." She said and she's actually proud of it. "So you have something with Taehyung?"

"Not exactly."

"Mara, you've been in there for like an hour!" Taehyung said outside the bathroom.

"I'm getting dressed!" I yelled at him as I struggled to put on my two piece swimsuit.

"Just hurry the fuck up." Taehyung whined some more. I stomped towards my door and opened it. I swear I saw his jaw drop when he saw what I was wearing. "Whoa."

"Yeah whoa." I smiled at him, holding my upper piece to my chest, "Can you help me tie this up?"

"My pleasure, baby." He smirked and I rolled my eyes at him, facing my back to him. "You look so hot. I told you you'll thank me for this."

"I didn't say I was thankful. I just didn't want to look out of place when we get to the beach." I said, wearing my semi see through kimono and tugging it over my shoulders. "Can you stop staring at my ass? I feel uncomfortable enough by wearing this."

Taehyung smiled and walked up to me. He positioned himself behind me, resting his hand on my shoulder and then letting his fingers slide smoothly down my arm, "I can't help it. Your body is just so beautiful."

"Ow! Ow! Calm the fuck down, woman!" He held onto my wrist to stop me from hitting him. "Do you know who you're hitting right now?"

I hit him again, "yeah. A pervert!"

"I'm sorry, okay!" He fell down to the bed while shielding himself from me with a pillow. "I haven't got laid for months. Damn it! Don't you see the sacrifices I'm making for you? Abstinence is hard, you know!"

"You dog!" I hit him again with a pillow.

"Hey love birds! What's taking so long? Are you fucking in ther-" Hoseok's expression was the same as Taehyung when he opened the door wide. "Whoa."

"Right?" Taehyung grinned, his hair springing up everywhere like a wild fuck boy.

I could see the corner of Hoseok's lips curving up into a smile so I threw a glare at him, "What?"

"Nothing. I didn't see anything. I just came to tell you guys that we're going now. Bye." Hoseok scurried out, closing the door behind him.

"Let's just go." I sighed, looking over at Taehyung who was still grinning, "Just please don't make me listen to your green jokes."

"Are we all ready? Sorry I took so long." I climbed down the stairs and the guys were all eyeing me like hungry wolves. Not good.

Namjoon smiled to himself after seeing Jungkook unmovable stare at me, "Hey idiots, don't act like it's your first time seeing a woman in a bikini." I felt myself blushing at Namjoon's description. I'm a woman? "Jungkook, is she that pretty?"

"No." Jungkook immediately denied, turning his back around, "I was just surprised to know that she actually has breasts."

"Hey!" I barked at him, covering up my chest.

"Don't listen to him. You look great." Jin leaned down and whispered behind me. He smiled down at me and I felt my heart jump. I'm falling into the dicksand.

Taehyung and Hoseok both put their arms on my shoulder. "Enough talking let's go to the beach!!"

We walked down to the beach in the scorching heat. The sun high up in the sky with only a few clouds in the horizon. The sky was clear, the weather is perfect and the fuckboys are out to get all the horny girls within their radius. I should just lay back and let the chaos unfold cause surely these boys will bring trouble wherever they go.

The guys went ahead and played while I stayed behind to look after our stuff. I don't like getting wet anyway. I was looking for the sunblock when I felt someone eyeing my back.

"Taehyung I said stop looking at my ass!" I raised my hand up to hit Taehyung but to my surprise it wasn't him. "Jungkook? What are you doing here? You should be-"

"I wanted to be alone with you." He said, sitting beside me under the huge beach umbrella. "To talk."

"About what?" I asked him, holding the tube of sunblock in my hand.

"Need help with that?" He offered. I haven't answered yet but he already snatched the tube from me, "Lie down on your stomach."

"I can do it myself." I insisted but Jungkook already squeezed some on his palms.

He smirked, "Don't worry. I have enough experience with this." I slowly turned my back to him and did as what he told me to do. He scooted closer to me and then I felt his fingers on my back, pulling on the string of my bikini. His palms began to spread the sunblock on my back.

It felt wonderful. My body felt relaxed as his hands kneaded along my spine, "Your hands feel so good." I purred without meaning to.

"So I've been told." Jungkook smirked again, his words indicating a double meaning.

"That's not what I meant." I stammered underneath his touch. I knew it would end like this. "Anyway, what did you want to talk about."

"I wanted to apologize about what happened two days ago." His hands stopped and I felt like whining because he was so good but I can't do that.

I sat up with him and did the rest, putting sunblock on my arms. "Don't think about it anymore. I'm still alive, aren't I?

"Yeah but that doesn't justify-"

"Are you going soft?" I flashed him a grin. "Jeon Jungkook is going soft because of me? Wow."

"No. I'm not." His brows knitted together. "Why would I go soft because of a stupid girl like you?" I smiled at him and he turned his cheek away from me, "There's another thing I want to talk about.."

"Okay." I looked up at his face. He was avoiding my eyes again like that time in his car.

"Sewon called me and she wants us to get back together." Jungkook seemed really troubled but I don't understand why.

"That's good news! Isn't that what you want in the first place?" I told him. He didn't speak right away. We both watched the others having fun by themselves.

"You don't understand what's between Sewon and I." Jungkook started, opening a can of alcohol and throwing one at me.

"Then make me." I said.

"Drink." He nodded to my can of alcohol. "You don't drink?" I shook my head and he laughed slightly before taking it back and giving me a soda. "Me and Sewon are-"

"Kookie! Why are you here?" Soo Jin arrived and of course Jimin was right on her tail. Jungkook was so close to opening up to me why is this girl trying to ruin everything? "Oh, hi Mara! Mind if I borrow Jungkook for today? Come on, Jungkook let's play with the others."

She pulled Jungkook away. He looked back at me and I nodded at him, telling him that it's okay. Now there's only me and him.

"Didn't know you had this in you." Jimin commented as he eyed my body.

"Didn't know you had a real girlfriend. It's a good thing that I've met her because now I can introduce myself as the fake girlfriend." I countered with a smile while his dropped. "But hey, she seem nice."

Jimin still managed to pull up a smile, "She is nice." He leaned closer to me, close enough so that our noses were touching, "You are too.. I like girls who gives me a challenge."

Taehyung saw the of us talking so he immediately separated from the group and headed back. His skin became more tanned and his wet hair sagged to the side of his face. He ran a hand through his hair to push it back and away from his eyes. I can see some girls giving him the look because who wouldn't, he's literally a replica of Adonis.

From afar he looked hot but he looked way hotter up close with his brows knitted together in an angry line. "Don't you dare touch her."

"You don't get to tell me that, Tae. She's practically my girlfriend so I can do whatever I want with her. I can even kiss her right now." Jimin replied, a smirk on his lips. He was provoking him again.

"I'm fine. He didn't do anything." I reassured Taehyung.

Jimin stood up and patted Taehyung's shoulder, "Just a reminder, you can't always be there to protect her. I'm telling you this because I'm your friend, Taehyung. You will end up ruining yourself for her."
