A short scream escapes you when you reach the front of the crowd and you quickly cover your mouth as soon as you see the sight infront of you.
There, right in the water, is Juyeon floating face down and unmoving. And there was no way of telling if she's still alive or not.
Your body starts to shake, and your mind starts going crazy as thoughts run around it. "Is she alive? How did this happen? Did she try to end her life or is this just an accident? Just what exactly had happened to her?"
"Someone save her!" a boy suddenly shouts frantically, and you quickly recognize the voice to be Hyunjin's.
Your eyes widen, and you turn to where you had heard his voice from to see him standing at the edge of the pool, panicking.
"She's still alive! Someone just go in and save her!" he continues shouting, and you notice how frantic he really is.
"Of course," you then think as you realize something. "Hyunjin can't swim..." You then quickly turn your gaze towards Juyeon's floating body. "T-then should I just-"
Suddenly, someone jumps into the pool, and you quickly look towards the person who is now swimming rapidly towards Juyeon. Then, your eyes widen when you recognize that person. "Wait, that's-"
Jisung suddenly emerges from the water, pulling Juyeon's head and face out of the water, and your eyes widen even more when you confirm that it is him.
"J-Jisung..."
"Get out of the way!" Jisung shouts to the students gathering at the edge of the pool as he swims towards it, bracing Juyeon who is still unconscious. The students immediately follow, but you, who happened to be in the area he was swimming towards, stay in your place as you watch him with a surprised expression.
You're snapped out of your thought, however, when you're pulled back from where you stand into the crowd, and you turn to who had pulled you back to see Minho, his eyes ahead as Jisung finally drags Juyeon onto the tiles. Slowly, you also turn to the scene as you start to think of how silly you're reacting.
"Of course. Why am I even feeling affected? Jisung should have done it since Juyeon's life in danger. But why-"
You almost gasp loudly when you see Jisung perform CPR on Juyeon, then you quickly turn away as you start to feel even more uncomfortable.
"No. This isn't right. This doesn't feel right. But I shouldn't be feeling this way because Juyeon... Juyeon's dying. I shouldn't be feeling hurt at all."
Your eyes widen when you suddenly feel an arm around your head, and you glance up to see Minho holding your head towards his chest, hiding the sight you have been avoiding from your very sight. A sigh then escapes you, and you lower your head as you continue to look away.
Eventually, you hear Juyeon coughing, followed by the students gasping, but you keep your gaze averted.
"If you don't want to see it, then there's no reason for you to be here any further," Minho suddenly mumbles, and you freeze in your place. "'Stay away from the pool area', remember?"
You stay silent for a second, then you eventually nod, letting out a low hum as a response.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" he then asks when you don't move even seconds after you had nodded. You nod again, and Minho does the same as he places his arm around you and guides you outside.
You still feel hurt, of course. You know there's no reason, really. Jisung likes you. And you were the one who had swayed him when he was still head over heels for Juyeon. But why do you feel so... insecure?
