Ocean Eyes

Chapter - 7

Things have been peaceful since their match with Siam University. Professor Itthipat ended up on their training, but Tae and Tul are still practicing harder than ever. It seems as though their match results really hit them hard. They often arrive early to do extra laps before practice.

Today is no different, Coach and the students entered the pool area to witness two figures doing laps, making them sigh.

"I'm going to need you two to calm down a little. You'll hurt yourselves at this rate. Please take adequate rest to recover." Itthipat said, watching the two practicing vigorously.

"I've heard the speach before, coach. I know my body's limits." Tae said, dismissing his concern.

Tul nodded his head from behind Tae, "I can take a few more laps before warm-ups."

Itthipat sighed at his stubborn students, "I'll trust your judgement for now."

Looking around, Mew spot an impressive number of towels by a bench. Mew gaped at those towels and the two figures in the pool, 'Don't tell me they used all of those during their early practice...'

"Hey, Earth.. Can you help me get some of these towels into the laundry room?" Mew asked, picking up the towels.

"I'll be right there!" Earth replied, striding across the pool area. They hauled the towels to the laundry room and threw them into a machine.

When they came back to the pool area, a pair of familiar faces are wandering around the pool.

Earth tilted his head in thought, "I feel like I've seen them before.."

Mew slowly nodded his head, "They're from Siam University. I remember running into them at the meet."

As they get closer, the twins stopped what they're doing and waved at them. "My precious little minnow! I was so worried when I arrived and didn't see you." Max pouted, placing his palm on his chest, "Oh! My heart would have shattered if you hadn't shown up."

Mew's face was scrunched up in stupefaction.

"I think that's quite enough, Max." Korn nudged his twin. "And can you not think of a more elegant name for our prince? Something like a shark or an octopus?"

Max rolled his eyes at his twin, "Korn kurb, you make him sound like a ferocious beast!"

Mew looked at the bickering twins, unamused, "What are you doing here?"

Max looked at Mew with a raised brow, "Isn't it obvious?"

Korn smiled up at Mew, "We're taking you out on a date."

"Won't you go out with us today, prince?" Max asked, extending his hand to Mew.

"Prince?" Mew said with a frown. "You must be mistaken. There's no prince here."

Max sighed, "Oh, come on now. Surely you know that you deserve so much more than this...mmm" he said looking around the pool area.

"Paltry little swimming club?" Korn suggested.

"Yes, exactly that!" Max nodded his head. "You must come with us."

Mew blinked. Their faces are familiar,  but he can't remember their names. Mew, however, was annoyed that they decided it was alright to visit their club without notice.

"I'm sorry, help jog my memory again. Who are you two?" Mew asked, placing his hand on his hip.

Both the twins staggered when they heard his question.
