Chapter 44: Noticeable

              "Well Jeon Jungkook, normally we would leave the swimming mission to the biologists that work here full time, but the Chief says that this is a learning experience for you!" Said the elderly man wearing a lab coat and a dress shirt and tie under it. "So try not to bring attention to yourself from a shark!" The man then guided the two into a room by the docks where it looked like a storage room for equipment, but through the doors, there was a small classroom with bright lights and a white board up ahead and Jungkook let out a sigh. Knowing he'll have to be taught the basics alone while Jimin watched.
     
           "Sit down and I'll be sure to run a brief summary then, I'll show you the equipment, and Jimin can help you and show you the best way to put it on quickly." The man said as he cleared the board and allowed Jungkook to sit upfront while Jimin leaned on the wall at the back to make sure he listens in case Jungkook zones out for a second.

             The man mentioned many things Jungkook had to look out for, even if the area was rare to see sharks around or poisonous fishes, the man made sure he warned Jungkook about that and to always drop into the sea backwards and never forward to avoid having the air tank crush him. Jungkook was getting tired of hearing instructions and yawned, yet he made sure he jumped back onto what he was learning.

                It wasn't until later after an hour into learning about the equipment, Jungkook was finally able to see the air tanks and the swimming gear to practice. This made Jungkook finally sit up and grow excited to learn about it. Jungkook stood up as soon as the elder brought in the equipment and smiled.

               "Am I going swimming now?!" Jungkook asked happily as Jimin giggled and nodded his head. "Ugh finally!" Jungkook added and watched the elder place the swimwear onto the table and hold out another for Jimin.

               "Park, you have to help him into his. Then the two of you can dive since you are more familiar to it." The man added as Jimin looked at the suit the elder held out for Jungkook and Jimin himself. "I'll be outside by the docks. There is a restroom right around the corner. Go and get ready so we can get through this."

             The man then left pushing the carts of the air tanks to fill them up and take the two off so they could practice diving for their expedition. Jimin waited until the man left so Jimin could hand Jungkook his wetsuit. "You better hope you chose the right underwear for today." Jimin added with a giggle as he placed the wetsuit over Jungkook's hand and walked off to the restroom while Jungkook cleared his throat.

           "Ahem, Jimin? Grandfather said you have to help me into this~" Jungkook added as Jimin poked his head out from around the door of the restroom and shook his head.

            "What are you a baby? Put it on like any other type of jumpsuit!" Jimin giggled and entered a stall while Jungkook looked at the wetsuit and sighed dramatically, following the older to change into the suit too.

             Jungkook stepped in and started to change out of his clothes as he could hear Jimin changing out of his clothes and slipping on the tight wetsuit too. But, as soon as Jimin stepped out and held his clothes in his hands, Jungkook zipped up his wetsuit and finally stepped out after. Holding his clothes in his hands as he locked his gaze at Jimin who was leaning on one of the walls of the stalls.

             "You're so handsome~" Jimin smiled as Jungkook combed his hair to the side with his fingers and moved up to look at Jimin with a smirk plastered on his face.

            "And you look gorgeous~" Jungkook added as he swiftly dropped his hands onto the wall and trapped Jimin from moving away from him. "I have a question..." Jungkook whispered as he pushed his own glasses up and moved in closer to see Jimin gulp and press his head back as far as he could.

            "W-What is it?"

         "How are you going to see under water with those glasses? Hm?" Jungkook asked as Jimin smiled and gazed at the older.

          "I guess you'll just have to guide me then~" Jimin smiled and watched Jungkook hold his smile as he leaned in to give Jimin a kiss. "Mmh... Oh Jungkook, s-stop... We have to go outside." Jimin said after he pulled his lips away softly.

          "You're always telling me to stop. How can I when you're always tempting me?~" Jungkook chuckled as he placed his hands down on Jimin's waist. "How I want to love you in front of everyone else.."

             "Ah, Jungkook I know this already. You tell me this everyday. Don't worry, I'll talk soon." Jimin smiled as he gave Jungkook a kiss. "I don't like talking about this and you know that. Put yourself in my shoes and know that if I do tell too soon, I won't get out of this happily." Jimin mentioned and this only left Jungkook to sigh. Was Jimin really afraid of his own parents along with Yun-se's rich family when it came to this deal? Jungkook didn't like that Mrs. Lee was deep into Jimin's life as well as Yun-se's. But yet again, she was holding her end of the deal having a son from the Park family and her daughter get together and marry... In exchange for good fortune. That was the deal.
                                                            
          "Tell me.. We'll get through this and stay together.." Jungkook pleaded silently as Jimin giggled and nodded his head.

          "Of course we will. There's no way I would want to break off what I have with you..." Jimin promised and locked hands with Jungkook. "Let's just focus on the trip... Okay?" Jimin assured and Jungkook nodded his head. Yet, he still worried for his Jimin and thought what if his parents try to do something to him? Just to force him into staying with Yun-se? The thought alone in Jungkook's head seemed far-fetched, but the power money can make someone do out of greed, was inevitable.

               Jimin walked with Jungkook out of the restroom and set their clothes neatly folded on a table right by the board. Jimin took off his ring and his glasses as he blinked his eyes and looked around to see Jungkook move his hand up Jimin's arm and wrap his arm around Jimin's shoulder to pull him close and be his eyes. Jungkook took off his own glasses and earrings after and finally walked out with Jimin.

              "So.. Do we keep our shoes on? Or do we have to wait until we get on the boat?" Jungkook asked as Jimin kept blinking and looking around as his vision was still a blur.

               "Silly! We'll get swim fins at the boat. We can't walk our way over there with them. That'll be weird!" Jimin giggled as Jungkook still had his arm wrapped around Jimin to guide him. "When we get into the water, you have to hold my hand close! I don't want to wander off and end up going too deep to the point where my air tank starts getting intoxicated."

             "Oh, Jimin. You're so dramatic. You act like I'll leave you there to die alone. My little blind bat~" Jungkook cooed and poked Jimin's cheek and smiled to see Jimin blinking his eyes and wishing he could see well without his glasses.

             " 'Four eyes' to 'Blind bat' ah, I feel the love." Jimin joked and felt the younger kiss his head softly. "Jungkook! People might see!"

            "Really? Tell me Jimin, can you see anyone watching us? If so, point them out to me." Jungkook teased and made Jimin giggle while they walked together closely.

              Soon they met up with the elder and boarded the small speed boat to get to the center of the ocean where other biologists were practicing. Jimin looked around and gazed at nothing but a blurry view. "Ugh, I wish I could have ordered my contacts before showing up today.." Jimin whispered as Jungkook was sitting next to his secret lover and still held his hand tightly even if the elder was there keeping an eye on the two. Mostly everyone knew of Jimin's marriage, but the elder found something very off from Jimin when it came to Jungkook holding his hand in a 'friendly' gesture.

               "You had your time and you forgot so you won't be able to look at the beautiful sky." Jungkook teased and made Jimin pout.

             "Park, it's not that bad. Jungkook can take you through and practice with you. I can also take pictures for the both of you if you'd like. Yoongi was practicing yesterday and he requested I took pictures. So if you'd like, I'll take the pictures and send them to you both? Take it as a memory of your first time diving together as a team." The Grandfather offered and Jimin nodded happily.

               "Yes! Send them to me after!" Jimin added as the man nodded and soon reached the center where he met up with another speedboat so the two can get off and practice. Just then, he turned his head to see Jungkook still holding Jimin's hand. For an Elder from an older generation, he seemed really calm about it and only smiled, taking a picture of the two so he could send it to them both after practice. It was like he was able to feel their close bond together that felt even deeper than friendship.

        Jungkook stood up as the elder helped them into their gear so they could start practice. "First I get to explore and then, you time me.. Right?" Jungkook asked the Grandfather as the man nodded his head and tied a long rope around Jungkook's waist so he wouldn't wander far since he was just learning. After that, the elder was about to attach a rope around Jimin's waist when suddenly, Jungkook interrupted and chimed in. Offering to tie the rope and use a random excuse. "I'll tie it around his waist... I can learn how to do it too. Leaning purposes" Jungkook smiled as the man allowed him.

          Behind the elder's back while he started to set out the air tanks for the two, he noticed how Jungkook wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist and pulled a sweet and loving smile. This sweet moment touched the elder's heart and made him take a picture for the two as they gazed into each others eyes. Showing that even as old as someone as the Grandfather from the older generation, he was able to see something between the two without even knowing that Jimin and Jungkook were secretly dating.
