swimmer back in high school" I lean my back against the wall of the pool and watch him gets closer, "I went to the UK, Australia, Japan for competitions. Something happened and it left me paranoid. I quit swimming"

He listens attentively and when he runs his fingers through his hair, combing them to the back and reveals his forehead, I almost choke on my own saliva. Is that really necessary? I know that his hair is getting in the way but pLease...

He pouts, "What happened?"

"I usually go for individual competitions but there was a team competition the teachers wanted me to go. They paired me up with a new transfer student"

My gaze falls deeper into the water, down to the bottom of the pool as I feel my feet dragging themselves through the memory lane.

That was the first time I met him.

Flashback~

" Annyeonghaseyo, Chanyeol imnida " The new boy bowed.

"Kyungsoo-ah, please take a look on him and train together. He'll be your partner for the competition. I'll leave you two to talk"

The trainer then walked away to train the juniors, leaving us alone in all kind of awkwardness. I was so used to working alone so my communication skill was quite low.

I put on my goggles naturally and sit at the edge of the pool, dipping my feet in the water, "So, what's your experience in swimming?"

"First place under 18 in Korea, came 3rd for Asia"

I coughed a little hearing that, he was more than good enough to enter the competition. No wonder the teachers were so eager to get the school to enter the team competition, they found somebody who was capable.

"Wow that's good" I nod my head lightly to keep my cool. Give credit to where it's due.

So, to cut it short, time passed by like water in a flowing river. I did not even notice it has been months since we first met and the competition was approaching in few more weeks.

We got a lot closer. From meeting at trainings, we start to meet outside of the pool. He became my tablemate in class and was the only one who wanted to be my friend. I was very quiet and everybody thought I was a freak, that's why they avoided me.

Given that my face showed no interest, I understood why they wouldnt even risk of saying hello.

It was crazy with Chanyeol. For the first time, I find school more worthy than swimming alone. He made school period fun for me. We confessed to each other and it was nerve wrecking.

He leaned in for a kiss instead of a general answer, and from that moment, I was a slave to my feelings. He was the master and I was his pet.

Later at the competition

"You look nervous" Chanyeol held my hand tight, drawing circles on it with his thumb.

"Yeah" I chuckled nonchalantly, "I just want to win this really bad with you"

"Dont worry about it" He smiled the brightest I've ever seen at that time, "I'll do my best so I'll reach you faster"

I pat him on his back, "Dont force yourself too much, do it just like how we practised"

During the game

My feet are shaking on the platform with my body half bent, ready for Chanyeol's arrival. He needed to touch my platform and then only I can start swimming to end the race.

I watched him closely behind my goggles, mouthing some motivation to myself. Looking at his speed, I thought he will be able to reach here first but then, he didnt appear on the surface anymore.

There was a pause in the air and I felt like the time was put on a slow motion. I straighten up my back, ready to scream for the referee to call it off if Chanyeol did not come back up in 3 more seconds.

Chanyeol might be a prankster but he knew this was not the time to fool around.

It didnt take me long to jump into the water when I saw his figure floating.

At the hospital~

It was reported that he pulled a severe cramp while swimming and if that was not worse enough, the doctor said he nearly had a cardiac arrest. His heart stopped beating for few seconds and if I was not fast enough, he might have left us.

End of flashback~

I snap out of my thoughts when I hear fingers snapping repeatedly, "Hello, are you with me?"

Jongin has this worried look on his face and softly tucks a stray hair behind my ear.

I ask, looking away to get myself back together before he notices that he lost me for few minutes already, "Y-yes? You said anything babe?"

"Hm we're talking about your partner..."

"Oh he was lovely" I blurt out and shift my attention to the few bubbles coming out from the built in jacuzzi in the pool, "These bubbles are so cool"

Kai POV

And yup, there he goes. Being all weird because he is flustered. Why am I getting the ideas of Chanyeol being his partner?

"You should teach me how to swim"

He snickers, "That will take you years, Kai"

"Lets just do it for fun!" I roll my eyes, "Am I fit enough?"

"Your core is good, judging by how strong those abs are" He purposely run his fingers on my stomach and retreats back quickly, "Usually, swimmers have broad shoulders. That's a merit to them but look at me, I'm an exception and I still bite"

"You're taking your chance to touch me" I smirk, "You're harassing me, teacher"

●●●●●●●●●●●

For an hour we play around in the pool and race against each other. He is surprisingly good or it is just me who already lost my skills. There is nothing I can do to win except to play dirty.

I pull his pants down in the water and he has to take some time out, putting back his junk in the trunk. He attacks me back with water and I have to slide to the side where he traps me in the corner.

"Hey handsome!"

We stop laughing and look up to see three girls, making their way to us in hot bikinis and cocktails in their hands. I can feel Kyungsoo stepping away a little but I try to close our gaps a much as possible. Why is he walking away?

"Hey, girls" I greet them in English with a smile. They are people too, dont we greet each other with a smile?

"Are you alone?" One of them asks and before I could say anything, Kyungsoo clears his throat.

"No, he's with me" Kyungsoo said. Oof, he was timid a while ago!

" Awww you even brought your brother here! You guys dont look alike tho " They chuckle

Kyungsoo holds my arm, "Lets go back to the chalet. Its getting cold". It is interesting to see him being jealous.

"Yeah sure, lets go"

"Wait, where are you guys going?" The girls stop us from leaving the pool, "We have a little party over there. Wanna come? Both of you are invited. We can have some fun together!"

Kyungsoo's face is already screaming how annoyed he is, and he couldnt be bothered if they are offended.

I look at the girls and said, "Sorry, we have to go now. Enjoy your party!"

"Awwww dont be like that! It's just barbeque!" The girls pull me out of the pool in a hurry, almost causing me to scrap my knee off the wall.

I peel their hands off of me and quickly pull Kyungsoo out of the pool, holding him close to me. I am not sure if it's the culture or what, but despite of what we said, they keep on pushing and dragging us with them to the corner.

We go down the stairs and see a part of many people dancing and drinking around. Oh my, definitely not what we're planning to do tonight. None us are good with parties.

"I'm scared" Kyungsoo glues himself to me and I hold his hand tightly.

"Just stay close" I whisper, "I'll get us out"

I am busy wrapping Kyungsoo in his towel when the girls come back with two glasses of cocktails. They hand us each and giggles around. I have seen this a lot in movies and it is starting to bug me a little.

These girls are literally eye fucking me.

"You have to drink all of it! It is the local special in Malibu" One of them chuckles and turns to Kyungsoo, "You first!"

"Wait" I take the glass away from Kyungsoo, "He does not take alcohol. I'll drink it for him"

I cant risk of him being drugged and proceed to drink mine. It stings differently and it is so far from being decent. It tastes like shit.

The girls take away the glasses and disappear to the bar. I grab Kyungsoo by the arm and look at him in the eye.

"Dont accept any drinks, okay?" I remind and he nods his head.

"Are you okay? Your face is getting redder" He cups my face.

"Lets dance!" The girl next to me pulls me away but Kyungsoo clings onto my arm.

"And if you're not interested with the party..." She whispers closely, "I'm open to sex. We can put your brother to bed first"

"Hey what are you doing to him!" Kyungsoo pushes her away and gets in front of me like a protective mother.

"Listen, kid. This is not a party for you" The woman mumbles, "I'm sure your brother is getting the mood. You're feeling it right?"

Only then I realise that the world is spinning heavily and if my legs decide to give out, I'll be on the floor in few seconds.

"I'm his fucking husband, and you're going to jail for using rape drugs" Kyungsoo snaps, his tone getting higher each word.

The woman steps away and he turns to me, supporting my weight with his own.

"You're going to be okay, lets go" Kyungsoo holds me tightly as he guides me out of the scene and I can hear the music fading away.

I have my eyes closed all the way and is trying not to fall so Kyungsoo wont have it any harder than it already is.

Kyungsoo POV

As soon as we arrive at the chalet, I kick the door close with my leg and quickly dash through the living room.

"Almost there, baby" I said, rubbing his back and we get in the bathroom.

He collapse right in front of the toilet seat and hang onto it before waving his hand at me.

"I dont want you to look at this, go out" He said, his voice muffled by his other hand.

"Baby no, you're sick. It's okay. Let it all out. I'll help you" I kneel next to him and massage his shoulders a little, trying to provide him some comfort.

I reach for the tissue on the sink and prepare some for him at the side. He grips tighter on the toilet and finally vomits out the cocktail he had earlier. I am so restless on my feet looking at him choking and out of breath.

I know that vomiting is hard. This is so unfair to him. He drank mine and his.

"Do you feel better?" I immediately ask as he relaxes down, his shoulders hunching over, "Look at me"

I turn his face to me and his eyes are literally full of tears. The temperature of his body shoots up, with crimson red painting his whole face.

"Oh no, baby" I pout and start to wipe his mouth with the tissue, "Poor you, I'm so sorry this happened to you"

"No..." He replies weakly, "This could be you"

"I would rather be in your place than to see you like this"

He scoffs, "Do you think I'll be okay if you get sick? No maam"

"I'll prepare a hot bath for you. Come on" I help him to stand up and he is already so high, telling me the world is spinning.

I measure the water temperature to make sure that it is not too hot for him.

"Just keep your swimming trunks on" I said and he steps into the bath tub, sitting slowly and letting out a sigh once he's fully seated.

I watch him for awhile and he looks like he's getting a hang of it. I quietly make my way out of the bathroom and reach for my phone, quickly calling Kai's men.

I ask them to go report the girl and find some Vitamin B if possible, to clear Kai's mind. I went to the pharmacy once and the pharmacist did say that magnesium may help you clear your mind.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I stayed up until morning, afraid if Kai needed something in the middle of the night. He was sweating and whimpering in his sleep but apart from that, he is just fine. I continue caressing his hair softly, smiling whenever he snores. His snores are soft and quiet, so it's cute.

"You're awake"

I snap out of my thoughts and see Kai smiling with the whole galaxy in his eyes. He scoots closer to me, snuggling his face to my abdomen.

"Stop, that tickles" I giggle and he pulls away a littler, "How are you feeling?"

"Much better. Thanks to you"

"That girl was caught yesterday" I inform, "She got what she deserved. How dare she did that to you?"

He snickers, "You took care of me so well"

"Of course. How could I let you fuck somebody else before me? I was so mad at her"

He tries to sit up straight, leaning his back against the bed frame with a wide smile.

"Right?" He holds my hands, "How could I?"

"And that still applies even after we...." I chew on my lips, a little hesitant because it will sound gross af, "well, you know. You can only make love to me, that's it. I'm here for you"

"What? Do I look like a cheater?"

I roll my eyes, "Isnt it obvious?"

He whines like a baby with the cutest pout, "What do you mean???????? I'm loyal!"

"That's what cheaters say"

"Why are you suddenly attacking me" He crosses his arms on his chest, "I'm sick, you know?"

I slowly get off the bed and he tries to grab on my hand to pull me back but I stay on my two feet, planting myself there.

"Come back!!!!" He kicks the blanket. He is seriously a baby.

"I'm going to go make breakfast" I grip on his hand hard, resulting a sharp wince from Kai, "Bad boys dont get to eat breakfast. Will you go wash up first?"

"Okay baby"

Jongin POV

Breakfast was as usual, we were eating jokes.

Kyungsoo decides to take a walk at the beach and find some exciting things to do because he is getting bored. Honestly, I have planned something at night but nothing for now so I'm more than happy to do what he wants to do.

"The weather is nice!" He runs in the sand with his sandals dangling in his hand, "Did you put your sunblock on?"

I nod my head, "Yeah. You?"

"A little, I wanna get some tan while we're here" He chuckles, "I'm too fair for my liking"

"Fair or tan, I love you" I sneak up behind him and pick him up, twirling around while he screams for me to put him down.

"I will fucking throw up on you Kai! Put me downn"

"Eee your stomach is weak"

He rolls his eyes but then gasps at something in the sky, "Whoa is that paragliding?". He points up at the entity dangling in the air.

"Silly, that's sky diving. See that small plane? They drop people from the sky"

He frowns with a shiver, "Damn do people really pay to risk their lives?"

"You wanna try that?" I reach for his hands to hold it tight before he tries to run away, "Lets go!"

"I didnt say shit about signing up for that, Kai"

"But you said you're down for a hell of an adventure" I smirk, already dragging him with me, "This is fucking it"

"N-No, I mean, something like that banana boat or, ugh just something mild!"

"You're gonna love it, I promise, I'll be right next to you. You trust me right?"

"Why are you abusing my trust?"

I laugh out loud at his sudden remark, "I'm not! I just want to try this out with you. Please?"

"Ugh" He grumbles, submitting himself to me, "I'm such a fool for my husband"

"Aw I love you"

He glares at me, "I love you too"

Later at noon~~~~

"Hey you're looking so green right now!" Kyungsoo slaps my shoulder while laughing his ass out, grabbing on his dear stomach.

"You're unbelievable" I shake my head, "How could I not go all green? We went for sky diving, bungee jumping and paragliding! You said you were scared but you did every fucking thing in the air!"

He sits next to me and gently draw circles on my back to ease down the uncomfortableness in my stomach. I damn thought I would be able to tease him if he cried while sky diving but jokes on me now. I look like a fucking clown.

"I have something for us tonight"

He leans in closer with a smile, "Whoa, what is it?"

"Something" I smirk, "Just a simple thing tho, dont start thinking of a cruise ship or something"

"I would pick us sitting next to the ocean and have you singing me songs over a cruise any day, Kai"

I inch closer and plant a kiss on his forehead, then he rests his head against my shoulder.

"What's in the future for us?"

That hits close to home for me because I have never try so hard to keep a person as mine before. He makes me feel all kind of things. I love him so much that it hurts sometimes because I want to do everything that is best for him.

"What I know is, we're running to the end of the world together" I look at him from the corner of my eyes, being subtle so he stays at my shoulder, "Promise me that you'll try"

"I want nothing more than that" He nods, "We'll try our best"

I feel very content to hear the word 'try' because you know, sometimes we dont always get what we want. What matters is how much effort you put in trying to get it. You only get what you deserve, that's a number one rule.

Relationships are very subjective. It wont work if it is a one-way relationship, both parties need to be into it. It is very important that you try every day to win your partner's heart.

Kyungsoo is my husband, he is basically mine already but marriage needs commitment. We keep on winning each other's hearts every day. It doesnt stop. Marriage is a tie that can be broken just like other relationships, you need to be careful.

IN THE EVENING

"You look great" I said as I watch him fix his dress shirt from behind, leaning against the door frame.

"Thank you but are you sure it's a need to wear suits for dinner?" He turns around from the mirror.

"Why not? We look damn good in this, might as well show it to everybody"

"We look like we're about to go for another wedding Kai, it's just dinner" He giggles, "Why so serious?"

"It's a fine dining" I motion for him to come closer, "Dont worry, we'll blend in just fine. Everyone wears this to fine dining@

He walks closer and it takes every fibre not to kiss all over his face, but I know he spent few minutes on putting make up on so I'll leave him be. For now.

"You're so pretty" I said, my breath literally being taken away with him so close to me.

"Liar" He rolls his eyes, "Shall we?"

We walk hand in hand to the building across the beach. Decorated with dim lights, setting the mood automatically to romantic and just like I said, the men are in suits and women in dresses here.

"Welcome, my good sirs" A man at the entrance with a paper board in his hands smile at us, "Have you made any reservation beforehand?"

"Yes" I nod my head, "Kim Jongin, I made a call from Chalet 94"

"Mr Kim, sure, I'll assist you to your table" He puts the board down on the podium next to him, "Please come with me"

Kyungsoo POV

We walk through the grand entrance and go up the elevator. Once we arrive at the 8th floor, the door opens with a ding and we are welcomed with more men in suits and women in stunning dresses. Whoa, not everybody can dine here. They are the elites.

The usher leads us to a table in the corner, close to a small stage in the centre. My jaw drops at the simple yet elegant decoration of the table, the cutleries are lined up till the end of the table, napkins folded like arts and the plates are shiny as
