Sound of water erupted the swimming pool. Despite it being the swim team off day, a very hard working man still came to the swimming pool. 'Only hard work could bring you to the top' was the swim team leader favourite quote but even he wasn't that hard working to come every single day to the pool without missing a day.

There was only one person who will ever come to the pool even on day off and that was no other than the swim team's ace, the gold medalist —Hwang Hyunjin.

"There's a shark in the pool!" When someone yelled at the top of his lung, Hyunjin lost his focus and almost drowned himself in the pool only to remember the pool wasn't that deep to drown him. He stood up, the pool water barely above his stomach. His pretty mouth let out such a vulgar word "Fuck, Jisung!"

Another man laughed, holding his stomach as he pointed at Hyunjin. "I can't believe you fall for that every single time" Hyunjin rolled his eyes, taking off his swimming goggles and swimming cap. "I didn't. You just surprised me. Why did you come here?"

Jisung shows him a big grin before he jumped into the pool. Hyunjin who was already used to his best friend's weird action readily caught him in his hand, holding the other's waist as their faces were centimeters away. He wrapped his arms around Hyunjin's neck and legs around Hyunjin's waist. "You can't believe what just happened!"

Hyunjin hummed. It was true, Jisung always come with weird news. "Well, what just happened?" Hyunjin walked towards the end of the pool and easily lifted his body and Jisung's out of the pool. Working out at the gym really paid off. "My team leader and coach let me play in the game today" Jisung said, resting his chin on Hyunjin's shoulder and was still clinging onto his body.

"Huh? I thought you were banned for a month after you punched that guy from YG university" Jisung tapped Hyunjin's shoulder, asking him to put him down.

When he was on the ground again, he smiled cheekily. "I begged Woojin hyung" Hyunjin scoffed. "More like you annoyed him, didn't you?"

"I sure did!" Jisung said, giving Hyunjin a thumbs up before receiving a slap on the head. "Being annoying is nothing to be proud of"

"Did you bring extra clothes?" Jisung shook his head, staring at Hyunjin with hopeful eyes that he brought extra clothes for Jisung as well but to his dismay, Hyunjin didn't. "Lend me your clothes!" Jisung clung himself to Hyunjin's arms, swinging it back and forth.

"Why should I?"

"Well, you can just walk out with your swimsuit! It wouldn't be weird but look at me! I'm wearing my jersey and I'm soaked!", Jisung tried to reason with Hyunjin but Hyunjin wasn't having it until Jisung showed him his big puppy eyes. "Please!!!" Jisung blinked his eyes few times and Hyunjin sighed, dragging Jisung to then changing room before grabbing his clothes. He shoved them into Jisung's hands and flicked his foreheads. "Return it after you wash it!"

"It's not like I never return it unwashed"

Hyunjin laughed, "worst, you once never return my shirt at all"

Jisung shrugged. "That hoodie is so comfortable. I'm not giving it back to you yet" Jisung cheerfully said before he ran to the toilet to change, an action Hyunjin never understood because he could just change in front of Hyunjin in the changing room. They were both males after all.

When the both of them finally made it out of the swimming pool, Jisung quickly dragged Hyunjin to his car. "Let's go to your dorm and get you changed" He said, sitting on the driver seat before starting the engine.

He was focused on the rode that he didn't notice Hyunjin staring at him. How can someone be so shameless? He thought, sighing before looking away. Staring that long, might as well be a creep.

"I can drop you off here, right? I need to go. Woojin hyung said he has something to announce" Hyunjin walked out from the car lazily before walking to Jisung's side of door. He placed his hand at the top of the car and asked Jisung to roll down the window. "What?"

"Make sure to wash my shirt" Jisung clicked his tongue and lifted the corner of his lips in annoyance. "Just that? I get it"

Before Jisung could roll up his window, Hyunjin quickly held it, stopping Jisung. He cleared his throat by coughing. "Congratulation for being back to the team" then he quickly walked away, stumbling over a stone even before he went into his dorm.

"What the hell...?" Jisung mumbled, closing the window and driving back to the basketball court where hopefully Woojin had a good news instead of kicking him off the team and making him one of the bench warmers.

It was as if Woojin knew what was going on inside Jisung's head when he got a text from Woojin. 'You're late. The manager is here'

He lifted an eyebrow. " manager?" From what he knew, the never had a manager. It was always the couch who managed them. 'Not the coach?' He texted back once he arrived outside the court. There wasn't any reply and he had to get his own answer as he joghee into the court.

As usual, he saw his groups of friends crowding the bench but this time, there was someone he didn't recognize sitting on it.

His breath hitched, eyes widened before clutching his heart. "What the fuck?" He asked himself when he felt heat rushing into his cheeks, Woojin making eye contact with him.

"Squirrel, what are you doing there?! Hurry up!" Jisung almost fell onto the floor if not for the sudden shout from Woojin. He nodded his head and ran towards them only to trip over a ball, falling on the ground, face first.

The whole court was erupted with silence before he heard hasty footstep and when he looked up he saw an offered hand which belonged to a cute girl with short hair. She had a frown on her face, a concerned expression as she asked "are you fine?"

"I'm...yes?! How about you? Are you fine? Thanks ?" He messed up his words, standing up clumsily and almost falling again. He blinked his eyes a few times, his cheeks decorated with rosy shade. "You're funny" the girl laughed, hand covering her mouth as she did.

Jisung cursed in his head. Shit, she's cute.

"Hi, I'm Lee Na-eun"

"Hi, I think I just fall for you"
