Here Comes The Suga Boat
Later that day, before lunch, Jimin and Jungkook are walking down the pier and catch up with Tae for a swim in the lake.
Jungkook says, "Tae, you never told us how many sisters Lill has."
Tae looks at them, grinning as they eagerly await his answer. "Enough," he says as he continues walking.
Jimin and Jungkook look at each other confused, then in unison ask, "What?"
Tae stops and says, "I'm going swimming in the lake. Are you guys coming or what?" They grin at each other and race to the end of the pier to jump off.
Hobi, Lill, and the twins join them for an afternoon swim. The twins have arm floaters and swim vests on. They are like little fishes in the water; they love it. One by one, the others come out, too.
Yoongi is sitting on the end of the dock, watching the others swim. He watches as Hunni doggie paddles his way, grinning ear to ear.
She stops at his dangling feet and starts grabbing his toes. She looks up at him and says, "Suga boat?" Yoongi moves his feet, and she grabs his toes again and giggles, "Suga boat."
He sits still and notices her chin tremble and her eyes glisten. Yoongi rolls his eyes and says, "Okay, okay. " Slowly lowering himself into the water so that the water won't splash her in the face, he pulls her close.
He places her on his back, and she holds him around the neck. He starts to slowly dog-paddle in the water, making the sound of a motorboat. Hunni is laughing loudly.
He approaches the others, and Hope demands a turn riding the Suga boat.
Yoongi resigned to his fate and said, "Oh my god, I have no swag left."
Everyone laughs at Uncle Suga boat. Then, smiling, he gives little Hope a ride, too.
You walk down to where they are, remove your swim wrap, and hear several intakes of breath. Your first thought is full of self-doubt: Oh, no, I must look terrible in this. Can you get back to the house before anyone notices?
You start to blush, then notice several of the guys staring at you with smiles. You think, Okay, maybe it wasn't a wrong choice, and smile. Namjoon stares at you, mouth slightly agape.
The others have returned to playing or swimming, but Namjoon is just treading the water in one spot, staring at you.
You dive in and come up near Lilly. You whisper, "Namjoon is staring. Is something wrong with my swimwear?"
Lilly grins. "Oh no, little sister, you mesmerized him by your figure."
A few minutes later, Jin and Dani call from the dock to say lunch is ready. When you get out of the water, you put on your wrap. Lilly grins at you and winks.
After lunch, everyone sits around the dock, chatting and telling stories. Lilly can't help but smile as she sees you and Namjoon stealing glances at each other. She leans over to Hobi sitting beside her and whispers, "Love, I think we need to have a bath towel set made with Nam and Nab on them." With love and teasing gleaming in her eyes, she waits to see what Hobi says.
He chuckles, whispering back, "It does look that way." He glances at Yoongi and tells Lill, "Poor Yoongs, he feels he lost his swag today." They both laugh and return to chatting with the others.
Yoongi is sitting there recovering from the loss of swag points being the Suga boat. His dark shades let him close his eyes without others knowing he is trying to take a cat nap. He was about to fall asleep when he felt little hands and knees. Hope and Hunni climbed onto his lap and quickly fell asleep, resting their heads on his chest.
He softly sighs in resignation. All hope is lost in regaining any of his swag. He smiles to himself, "It's worth the loss. " He loves them as they are a part of Lilly and places his arms around them, securing them on his lap.
Watching the twins crawl onto Yoongi's lap, you approach him and offer, "I can take them."
He looked at you through the tops of his sunglasses, which had slightly slid down his nose. "Seeing as I have no swag left, I might as well let them stay."
You giggle as you walk away, thinking he's such a softy when it comes to the twins. He also sees it as an opportunity to nap, and no one will bother him for fear of waking the twins. He smiles as he drifts off to sleep.
After lunch, Jin and Dani started strolling to one of the paths around the lake. Eventually, everyone drifted off alone or in pairs. Hobi and Lill had taken the girls in to finish their nap, waking Yoongi in the process.
You watch as Jin and Dani, holding hands, disappear out of sight down the path and softly sigh. Maybe one day it will be me and someone I love.
Poppy gets up, pats your hand, and whispers, "Love birds," as she takes Yoongi's hand and heads to the house. You didn't know if she meant Jin and Dani or herself and Yoongi. Surely, she wasn't hinting at you and Namjoon. You glance around, and now, with Poppy and Yoongi walking toward the house, it only leaves you and Namjoon.
You look around as if admiring the scenery as he does the same, and then he gets up. You think he is probably leaving, too, to read his book, but instead, he comes over.
"Mind if I sit here?" he asks. You shake your head, and he sits next to you.
"It's fine, no one is using it now." You think to yourself, what an awkward thing to have said. You lower your head because you feel your face blush.
"Thanks. It's been a beautiful day today, hasn't it?" he comments with a gentle smile.
You smile, "Oh, yes, it has been. Did you have fun in the lake, too?" You feel so awkward. Why are you saying stupid things?
Namjoon says, "I did. It was fun. Did you have fun in the lake?"
You almost giggle. It seems he is feeling a little awkward, too.
He blushes, realizing how awkward he sounds, and then says, "Would you like to take a walk with me?"
You smile, "Yes, I would love that." He smiles and rises to stand with you.
You walk side by side into the woods, sure not to take the same one as Jin and Dani. You start walking in companionable silence for a while, and then you feel his hand slide into yours, fingers entwining.
Your heart is pounding so loudly that you glance at him, wondering if he can hear it. He breaks the silence.
"It's beautiful here." he looks at you and says, "Very beautiful."
You blush and lower your head, feeling shy. You don't remember much of the walk around the lake other than how wonderful your hand felt being held in his. The shade from the trees forms a canopy over the trail you are on. It is very romantic. You silently chastise yourself. . . . Oh, stop. It's just a walk. Don't overthink it.
You both continue the path in silence, both too nervous to talk because you're afraid you will say something embarrassing. Namjoon is thankful for the canopy of shade the trees provide because it helps to mask his blushing cheeks. He can't seem to find the words he wants to say, so he chooses to enjoy the quiet with you.
Holding your soft hand in his, he thinks, Damn, I never realized I have huge paws for hands. He almost lets go, embarrassed, but your fingers are entwined with his. You're holding onto his hand. He smiles. Is this love?
When you came out of the trail, you released his hand. "I need to go change. It's getting chilly."
You quickly run to the house, too embarrassed to say anything else, afraid it will be something stupid like, "I love you."
He watches you hurry to the house. Now that you are no longer holding his hand, he feels his heart finally start to settle to a normal pace. He shakes the feeling off and heads to the house to find his book.
