Bonus Chapter - "You two know each other?"

"You two know each other?"
—

Your colleagues had asked you for recommendations for someone to come help out on an exploration trip you were all going on. They needed someone strong, as you were going to have to lift a lot of heavy equipment on the surface and underwater. And your team wasn't that strong, Mac could manage but it would be easier with some help. You thought of Jonas, so you called him and he picked up immediately.

"Yn?" He asks, having seen your contact name on the screen.

"Jonas.. Are you working?" You ask since you hear the boys hollering in the background. Jonas stood up to leave the room so you didn't hear them teasing him.

"Yes, I am, what's up? Is something wrong?" He asks you.

"Yes, something is very wrong. We need your help."

"What? What do you mean? What is it?" He says worriedly, he puts you on speaker to dig in his bag for his car keys to leave immediately for you. The guys now also looking worried.

"My team! We need your help, Jonas! I need you!" You exclaim, sounding like you're in distress. "We need, we need someone strong! Someone who can lift.. something very heavy!"

"Yn, what happened!?"

"We were, we were just talking.. in the conference room and then.. We were talking about our next exploration trip! And, then! Oh, and then.. something happened! Something happened, Jonas!"

"What happened?" He says as he finds his keys.

"I thought of you! You can help us!"

"Yn, where are you?" He asks, heading for the door.

"At work!"

"Yn, what happened, do I need to bring someone, or any tools, equipment?" He asks, needing to know if he should bring something to save you or your team, he still didn't understand what had happened. His mind was thinking all kinds of worst scenarios, if the building collapsed and someone was stuck under debris or if someone was drowning since you worked right by the ocean, or maybe he needed to call the police. But you were just messing with him.

"We need someone very strong and heroic!.. To help lift heavy equipment on our next exploration trip and I want you to dive with me. So, I need you to come help us." You tell him casually at the end, trying not to laugh.

Jonas stops just before he grabbed the door handle to leave. The boys had stood up to follow, but then laugh.

"Yn, you are gonna give me a heart attack one day." He sighs and lean his head on the door, letting his heartbeat slow down from the adrenaline that had started to kick in.

"I'm serious! What if something happens! And I need you to save me?"

"I'm starting to think I'm the one that needs saving from you."

"But aren't you worried about me?" You ask. "I am in desperate need of help, Jonas."

"What do you really need? Cause it isn't saving." He says.

"I want you to join us. Will you come?"

You really enjoyed spending time with him, and found it fascinating to watch his reactions to new things. Jonas thinks about this as you keep explaining the mission details and how long you'll be gone for. He would have to get time off. But he didn't think that would be a problem because he hadn't taken time off since forever.

"I'll talk with my boss, and let you know." He answers as if it's a business deal or something. Vague and a little cold, but he was just starting to plan because he wanted to go.

"So, you want to come?" You ask him. He's surprised by your question.

"Yes." He then answers and you smile.

"Okay, good. Let me know and I'll tell my team. Bye, Jonas." You say.

"Bye, Yn."

...

You're standing on the dock waiting for Jonas, as he gets there you go to meet him by his car.

"Hey! You ready?" You asks him. He nods to you, and you walk to the boat you're travelling with.

Jonas gets into the boat first and turn to hold his hand out to you. He helps you onto it, and then you go to find the others. Walking inside the boat, everyone turn their attention to you. Then Jonas walks in behind you.

"Jonas?" Mac says, surprised.

"Mac?" Jonas is surprised too.

"You two know each other?" You ask them.

"You two know each other?" Mac empathises on you. This grumpy ass being the last person he thought you would hang out with.

"Yeah." You answer a little proudly, Jonas takes notice and smiles at you. Which Mac notices, realisation comes to him and he smiles brightly and goes to hug his old friend.

"It's good to see you again, man. Been a long time now." Mac tells him.

"Not long enough." Jonas jokes.
