Lifeguard on Duty [MINQI] | ✓

01: What a great view

A/N: Shoutout to MattKpop for requesting this one-shot to be posted on Wattpad. This is for you, fam 🤠🤙

The original work was super cringy, so I made a bunch of edits and rewrote some scenes. But the plot is pretty much the same, and I can actually tolerate myself reading it.

By the way, I first wrote this fic back in December. So, don't be fooled by the visuals because I'm referencing their appearances back during the Uh-Oh era. (Also, petition to make (G)I-DLE have more summer/pool-themed photoshoots.)

**If you find any repetitions/parts of the old work still left on here, please inform me. This whole thing is 50 pages long, and I can't be (too) bothered with proofreading my own work.

Today marks another day at the country club for Minnie.

And what better way to spend it than to see her favorite lifeguard on duty?

"You're drooling, Min." A teasing voice spoke up from the side, and it snaps Minnie out of her trance as she hastily wipes her mouth—only to realize that her best friend was just pulling her leg for gags.

"Dammit, Miyeon! You're distracting me!" She complains while shooting a glare at the snickering girl, her reddened cheeks hued with embarrassment as she watches Miyeon leaning back on her chair. Calm and collected, unlike the panicked Thai beside her.

"I really hate you sometimes, you know?" Minnie grumbles, the blush still prominent on her face as she throws some not-so-subtle glances at the lifeguard perched at her watchtower.

It was difficult to tell if Yuqi even noticed them through her dark sunglasses, but she hopes not. God, she really hopes not. Because the last thing Minnie wants is to explain why she's been staring at her for the past twenty minutes like some sort of creep.

"Oh, please. You love me." Miyeon cooed while pinching her rosy cheek, causing Minnie to whine as she tries to swat her hand away. "But not as much as you love Ms. Take-Me-To-Church over there."

She then blatantly points at the hot lifeguard still lounging on her spot. Toned legs dangling off one side of her chair as she watches over the people that are swimming in the large pool, one arm propped behind her head and the other just strewn across her stomach lazily.

God, Yuqi looks really cool.

Minnie swoons over the sight like a bad case of first crush. She can already feel herself falling into another one of her little fantasies, until Yuqi suddenly turns her head in their direction. Prompting her to squeak at the possible eye-contact (still hard to tell with those shades on) as she ducked her head and hid behind her hands.

Wait... Did Yuqi hear what Miyeon just said?!

She wanted to scream, panic flooding through her body at the mere thought, as she timidly peers between her fingers and finds that Yuqi is still facing them.
