🐺 Jeongin - Ice-cold

~ Jeongin's POV ~

How fun winter is! I love taking big strolls in the snow, organizing snowball fights with my members, and lately, I'm really into skating. I'm no pro by any means, I just enjoy gliding on the ice.

That's why it was all the sadder, when I heard that the ice arena in our neighborhood was closing. I went there one last time, and then started searching for a new arena. But I was unsuccessful. There was none, the nearest was almost an hour away with car.

- Why are you so miserable, In? – Jisung asked, as we were in the living room, sipping hot chocolate. I told him about my troubles, which made him think. – There's a lake, it's a 10 minutes' drive from here. I think it's frozen in the winter. Tomorrow, we can go – I was so happy, I immediately accepted his idea.

Finally, it was time to go. Jisung and I were ready, we were waiting on Changbin hyung, who decided to accompany us in the last minute. During the whole ride there, I was bursting with excitement, and I only got happier, when I saw, that the lake was frozen over.

- Did you bring your skates? – Jisung asked, and then it dawned on me. I left them at home. He saw my sad expression, and tried to cheer me up. – Don't even worry about it, Jeonginie, we can just skate on foot, right? – Changbin agreed, and I was back to my usual happiness.

We left our bags in the car, and finally, stepped onto the lake. I felt the ice: it wasn't as thick as I imagined it to be, but it was fine.

I slowly started to glide, and the euphoric feeling returned: I felt like I was flying and floating, and there was nothing in this world that was troubling me. The outside world disappeared, and I closed my eyes: this is my heaven.

I wanted to stay this way forever, but suddenly, I heard my name being called:

- Jeongin, come back! The ice is cracking! JEONGIN! – Before I could turn around to see what was going on, I saw it: small cracks were appearing under my feet, and they only got bigger. I was completely frozen, I didn't know what to do. I realized, that I should get onto my stomach, to evenly distribute my weight, but I couldn't act.

And it happened.

A huge crack appeared under me, and it broke the ice completely. My right foot fell under, and it felt like hundreds of knives were stabbing me. I let out a yell for the others, and I tried to hold on. I saw Changbin running over to me, but it wasn't enough. The ice broke under my hands, and I fell under.

There are no words, that could describe the amount of pain I was in. The ice-cold water surrounded me, I breathed it in, it blinded me. I tried to swim up, but my clothes were weighing me down. I quickly ran out of energy, all I could do was wave my hands, and scream. My body was numb, I couldn't move anymore, and I had no more thoughts.

It was suddenly over. I didn't feel cold anymore, and though my lungs were burning, I strangely felt at peace. The water was getting darker around me, as I sank lower and lower. I always wondered what it felt like to drown...

Something grabbed my shoulders. I was getting pulled up to heaven, right? I smiled, I was a good person... Everything got brighter around me, I closed my eyes, and then...

Cold air hit my face, as I was lifted about the surface. I tried opening my eyes, but the unbearable pain returned. I tried breathing, but my lungs were full of water. I started coughing and choking, when someone turned me to my side.

- He's alive, I got him, Sungie! Start the car! – Changbin hyung's voice was the first thing I heard, and I felt safe. After I finished coughing up almost all the water, I opened my eyes, and I was faced with a very worried and crying Changbin. – We'll get you to a hospital, don't worry!
