Magical Forest

As they wandered through the garden, Nayeon's eyes lit up when she spotted a shimmering river flowing through a small clearing. "Oh, look at that! A river!" she exclaimed, excitement dancing in her eyes.

Y/N followed Nayeon's gaze and chuckled. "Yes, Nayeon, that's a river. It's not every day you get this thrilled about water."

Nayeon grinned mischievously. "Oh, just you wait! This river is about to become the highlight of our adventure."

With a flick of her wrist, Nayeon used her water powers to create a boat-shaped raft out of the river's water. Y/N's eyes widened in amazement as the boat solidified before her.

"Ta-da!" Nayeon declared proudly. "We now have our very own watercraft."

Y/N's gaze shifted between Nayeon and the watercraft, clearly impressed. "You can do that with your powers?"

Nayeon nodded. "Yep! Water manipulation at your service."

As they hopped onto the watercraft, Y/N held onto the sides cautiously. "This is amazing, but I've never been on a boat made of water before."

Nayeon chuckled. "Don't worry, Y/N. I promise I won't let us sink."

With a gentle push, Nayeon guided the watercraft along the river. Y/N's eyes widened in delight as they glided smoothly over the water. The water sparkled under the sunlight, and the gentle breeze ruffled Y/N's hair.

"This is so cool!" Y/N exclaimed, her voice a mix of wonder and excitement.

Nayeon grinned, clearly enjoying Y/N's reactions. "Told you this river was special."

As they floated along, Nayeon playfully manipulated the water, creating small splashes and ripples. Y/N laughed as a few drops of water playfully splashed onto her.

"Hey, watch it!" Y/N protested, trying to shield herself from the playful sprays.

Nayeon feigned innocence. "Oops, my bad. I couldn't resist."

Y/N rolled her eyes, her smile giving away her amusement. "You're impossible, Nayeon."

Nayeon winked. "But you're having fun, right?"

Y/N's smile widened. "Definitely. This is way more exciting than I expected."

As they continued their playful journey on the watercraft, Y/N's initial cautiousness turned into pure enjoyment. She marveled at Nayeon's ability to turn something as simple as a river into a thrilling adventure.

The two get back to the castle with wet clothes laughing at their state. "Look what you did!" Y/N groaned playfully, she was soaked with water. "You're enjoying the river though!" Nayeon exclaimed too.

Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow as she glanced at the dripping wet duo. "I leave you two alone for a day, and you end up looking like you took a swim fully clothed?"

Sana and Momo exchanged knowing smirks before bursting into laughter. Y/N and Nayeon exchanged a sheepish glance and joined in the laughter, realizing just how comical their current state must look.

"We found a river, and Nayeon decided to turn it into a water adventure," Y/N explained with an amused grin.

Nayeon playfully nudged Y/N. "Hey, you were having fun too!"

Sana wiped a tear from her eye, still chuckling. "Well, I guess it's a good thing you're not afraid to get wet."

Momo grinned mischievously. "So, did you both have a water fight?"

Y/N laughed and raised her hands in surrender. "No, no water fight. Just a peaceful ride on Nayeon's impromptu watercraft."

Tzuyu, who had been observing the scene with an amused smile, finally spoke up. "You two always manage to make the most ordinary things into extraordinary adventures."
