"Park Juyeon and Jeon Y/N are having a swimming match!"

All throughout the school, the news spread that morning, sparing almost no one and making almost every student head to the swimming area to see the spectacle. A swimming match between the female heartthrob and the rowdy elite? Of course, that would get the attention of many students.

Even Jisung who just received the news the moment he was stepping into the school building and a student running through the hallways almost screams it in his face.

"Juyeon and Y/N are having a swimming match at the pool area right now!" the student had shouted, and Jisung's eyes widen once he hears it.

"Wait... What?!" Sparing no second, he quickly runs towards the pool area, wondering why you're suddenly having a swimming match wiyt I th the female heartthrob. "Y/N competing with Juyeon? Just what in the world is going on?!"

Somehow, even Minho had also heard the news, and upon doing so, he turns to the source of the news before heading straight to the pool area. He doesn't know what's going on, either, but for some reason, he's having a bad feeling about this.

Not even your friends were excluded from hearing the news, quite obviously, and they arrive at the pool area just as you're stretching at the beginning of your lane while Juyeon stands beside you, doing the same, the both of you now in your swimsuits.

"Y/N, what in the world-" Denise shouts as soon as she sees you and she takes a step to stop you, but you cut her off without even looking at her.

"I know what I'm doing, Denise! I promise, nothing will happen to me this time!" you tell her, and the former stops, later on taking her step back as she is pulled back by your other friends back into the spectating crowd.

She can't help but doubt, of course. In the past occassions where you've been in the pool area, you ended up in dangerous situations, ones that could have even ended your life.

Just at that moment, Jisung arrives at the pool area, and he quickly finds your friends. "What's going on? Why is Y/N there competing with Juyeon?"

"We don't know, either," Yunho replies to him as he shakes his head. "We just heard the news and came here as soon as we could."

The lack of further information just sends Jisung into a worried and confused state as he just looks towards you, noting your determined expression. "Y/N... why are you doing this?"

"Having any second thoughts?" Juyeon suddenly asks you just as you both finish stretching and start getting into position. "Because I can just let you walk away now if you don't want to do this."

You smirk without even looking at her as you focus your gaze at the other side of the pool. "Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that?"

And just as you say that, the student acting referee blows the whistle and both you and Juyeon quickly dive into the water, doing your best to swim to the other side fastest and to get there first.

All around the pool, students have swarmed in, watching and cheering for who they think will win... most of them cheering for Juyeon, of course.

Though, neither you nor Juyeon can really be bothered by who's being cheered for most. In fact, both of you are so focused and intent on winning this challenge, that neither of you would have noticed if something happened to the other...

And something did.

Your eyes widen and you gasp almost underwater when you feel your feet get caught by something. Suddenly, you're pulled back, and water almost gets into your mouth if it weren't for you quickly closing it. Though, that would be the least of your worries as you suddenly feel as if you're being pulled underwater by some invisible force. That is, until you notice something not so visible, laced around your foot and pulling you down. Your eyes widen once again, then you quickly dive towards it to free yourself.
