It surprises me that I haven't already whacked him out of the way, but this kiss doesn't feel bad. It feels weirdly natural. As only opposition, I simply refuse to close my eyes.

But before I finally decide to put and end to the kiss, I hear a voice behind me,

"Engene!??"
I quickly push Jungwon away to face Hugh.
"What are you doing?!"
His eyes are about to pop out of his head. I feel ashamed of what I was feeling a second ago and run after him to try and explain that Jungwon kissed me without my consent.
"Listen," he says, stopping to face me, "Maybe he kissed you by surprise, but from what I saw, it certainly wasn't without your consent! You weren't even close to push him away!"

I try to reason him again, but to no avail. He feels like I only brought him here to humiliate him and I feel the guilt rising up. I know he's right to be angry.

In the end, he just leaves me behind, refusing to acknowledge my excuses.

I sigh.

"He's right, you were feeling it." I hear above my shoulder.

"What the-" Jungwon is behind me, visibly pleased.
"What did you think you were doing!?" I howl. "Did you ask me to bring him here just so you could ruin me like this!?"

"Not really. I just didn't like him, so I got rid of him."

"Who cares if you like him or not!!?"

Too angry to say another word, I hurry away from him, holding back my tears of rage.

"I'm curious tho," he insists, following me. "Why didn't you push me away if this guy was so amazing."

"Shut up! You took me by surprise! I hate you!"

"You were still surprised thirty seconds into the kiss?"

I can hear him smile.

At end's wits, I turn around towards him and exclaim,

"I don't know what you were trying to achieve by kissing me, but I sure hope it was not because you felt jealous! Hugh was perfect and a hundred times better than you'll ever be, and so was you brother! You can try as hard as you can, you'll never be as charismatic and hot as them!
Besides, even if you managed to swap bodies with your brother, you wouldn't be able to make me wet for shit -as you like to say it yourself-!"

I see Jungwon's face harden. He's not smiling anymore.

"Oh yeah?" He breathes.
He takes a step towards me and bends forward oh so slowly, his eyes now half close.

I can feel his breath on my face, and for a second, I get distracted.

He's going to kiss me again.

"Be careful where you put your feet, love."

I suddenly come to my senses and take a brusque step back, away from him.
But my foot never meet the ground. Instead, I feel my whole body collapse, and the next minute, I'm under water.

When I get back to the surface of the pool, all eyes on me, Jungwon is laughing his head off. He watch me pathetically climb back out of the water without even mimicking a helping hand.

He even squats to come and whisper to my ear,

"Oh, look. I did make you wet."
