BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2017

Chapter 32- Bon Voyage Season 2 | Episode 2.2

April 10th, 2017:

We woke up and worked on some music before I properly changed. We were going snorkeling on a boat, so I wore a simple forest green one-piece bathing suit with denim shorts and a drop-shoulder white chemise-like shirt with sandals.

We got to the marina and got on the boat. The captain greeted us and chuckled at some of the boys' Hawaiian hand gestures and "Aloha". I was the last to get on and we all sat down and listened to the safety briefing. As I looked around at the water around us while we left the marina, I could see one of the deckhands eyeing me. It could be me paranoid, but I also wasn't ignorant of the flirty looks. They weren't the first nor the last flirty looks I would get. However, if I was honest, he was quite cute.

"Dolphins!" Yoongi shouted, pointing at the front of the boat.

We all got up and rushed to the front to see dolphins jumping out of the water and putting on a show.

"Isn't that a tuna?" Namjoon says.

"Oppa," I say, looking at him dumbfounded, "how is that a tuna?"

"I don't know, they look similar," he says laughing before going quiet.

We were amazed by the roughly twenty dolphins for another five minutes as we went even farther out.

I was sitting alone watching the mountains grow more distant while Seokjin and Jimin argued about whether dolphins could or couldn't breathe underwater. Jungkook and Hoseok were still impersonating the dolphins jumping out of the water and Yoongi, Namjoon, and Taehyung were taking pictures on the captain's deck.

"So, you guys are a band?" the deckhand asked as he organised some rope to my right.

"Um, yeah," I nod, not expecting him to have actually started a conversation, "but no instruments".

"Oh, so you guys just like... sing?" he asks, throwing the rope over, and leaning on the railing next to me.

"We sing, and rap, and dance," I nod, chuckling a bit at his surprised reaction, "you get the whole package".

"Yeah, you definitely bring the looks too," he smiles slightly, I raise my eyebrow, "I mean look at that guy, he's got some nice muscles," he points to Jimin grinning still arguing with Seokjin.

"Oh, yes, they are fit," I nod, rolling my eyes at his flirty tactics, but if I was being honest, I wanted to have a little fun myself, it's not like this could actually become a real thing anyway.

"What about you?" he asks grinning, "you born this pretty?"

I laugh blushing.

"What do you think?" I say, subtly, flipping my hair which was flying in the wind.

"Honestly?" he says, smiling and moving forward slightly, "this might be a hot take, but your kind of beauty, you've worked hard for it. Makes it glow even more".
