DEEP TROUBLE [KTH]

~20~

Quietly, the girl sneaks in taking slow, calculated steps, walking until she finally reaches the lake. It's quite a lengthy walk, but the place is very well hidden, not another creature in sight, the lake completely silent.

With a small exhale, the place sets the bag down on the floor, sitting down by the edge as she watches his silhouette swim underneath.

Its a calming sight. The boy moving around freely with the most delicate of moves.

Noticing a shadow in the surface, the boy curiously raises a brow, accelerating his pace when he recognizes who it is, a boxy grin on his face as his head pops out of the water.

"Hi." She greets with a smile as he reaches her.

"Hi." He says back, resting his chin on his arms as he looks up at her.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better."

"That's good." She says with a smile, his voice sending a shiver down her spine every time he talks. Even though the boy is now able to talk, it still takes her by surprise every time he opens his mouth.

"I, uh, brought some food in case you're hungry." She adds lifting the bag, the boy smiling at her but shaking his head, his hand reaching for hers.

Then, without saying a word, he slowly starts to pull her in with him, their eyes locked with each other as the boy searches for the girl's reaction, hoping that she'll agree with his silent request, surprised when the girl nods and follows his lead, jumping in right after him as he goes back in the water.

EunHae's heart beats faster as her body sinks down in the water, gasping when she feels him slip his arms under hers to guide her to the surface, his hands gently brushing the hair out of her face as she takes in a deep breath.

Then, locking eyes again, they submerge again, the boy taking her hand as he starts to swim.

Being more of a city girl, EunHae wouldn't really consider herself an expert swimmer, given that there's not many opportunities to practice back at home, however, one of her favorite parts about visiting, is being able to relax and go for a nice swim, her friend Jimin teaching them every time they visited him.

As he swims by her side, the boy slowly let's go, spinning on his side as he swims ahead, making the girl smile as he slowly circles her, his eyes curiously watching for her next move.

To the best of her ability, the girl replicates his move, the boy clapping excitedly before he moves on to his next trick, the girl smiling more and more watching him be so free.

How long has it been since he has last been able to swim like this?

In any case, she is happy to see him enjoying himself, looking much more energized than before.

This continues for a while until the girl starts feeling tired, staying up above water for a while to take a small break. Noticing this, the boy slowly swims up and joins her, closing the distance between them as he presses his forehead with hers.

"We should probably head back." EunHae says after a while, eyes briefly glancing at him before she looks back down. "It's getting late."

With a smile, the boy slowly nods his head, taking her hand to guide her to their starting point.

"Okay." He agrees, the girl holding on to him as he takes off at an incredible speed.

A while later, they make it back to Jimin's place, the boys looking over with mouths slightly open as they see her soaking wet, Taehyung's flannel shirt around her shoulders to keep her warm.

"Welcome back." Jimin greets with a smile. "There's some dinner for you in the microwave in case you're hungry."

"Thank you Jimin." EunHae says with a smile. "I'm going to wash up and change first."

Lively chatter fills the room as EunHae joins the group, the boys greeting her with a smile.

"We were thinking," Jimin says, "that it might be nice to go to the beach together tomorrow, that way we can all get to know each other better. What do you think?"

"That sounds like a good idea."

Thank you for reading lovelies. Hope you enjoyed. Have a purple day~
