A Harmony of Hearts (MiSana/Satzu?)

Sun

"I swear, if you make me fall, I'm going to drown you!" Nayeon shouted to Jeongyeon behind her. They were both on a paddleboard, struggling to keep their balance—at least Nayeon was. Jeongyeon, on the other hand, was teasing her by purposely wobbling the board.

"What's the big deal? We came to get into the water!" Jeongyeon laughed, enjoying the annoyed expression on Nayeon's face.

"Ahh!!" Nayeon screamed as she tumbled into the water. "Jihyo, I'm going to kill you!" she yelled, frustrated.

Jihyo, several meters away, was waterskiing and had deliberately sent a wave in their direction, causing both Nayeon and Jeongyeon to fall off the board. Laughing, Jihyo sped away, feeling the cool breeze on her face as she skillfully controlled the skis beneath her.

Meanwhile, Chaeyoung was lying on the sand, basking in the sun, while Mina and Sana stood in the water, which came up just below their chests. They were playing affectionately, splashing each other and laughing together.

"How can they stand being all touchy with just their swimsuits on?" Nayeon grumbled, glancing at the affectionate pair of Japanese members, her question directed at Jeongyeon.

"Maybe because, unlike you, they're decent people who aren't horny all the time," Jeongyeon teased, making Nayeon pout.

"Hey, it's not my fault I'm ovulating these days," Nayeon protested.

"I know, but let's be real, every time that happens, you're worse than anyone else," Jeongyeon replied, still trying to steady the paddleboard.

"Okay, okay, but look at them! Who wouldn't?" Nayeon said, her eyes locked on Sana. "I know it's wrong to think of them that way, but I wouldn't mind taking a shot at Sana's abs," she added with a grin, biting her lower lip.

Jeongyeon just rolled her eyes. "Look, Nayeon, I get it, you're probably under a lot of pressure and need to let loose, but remember—they're our friends, and we're in a group. Don't do something you'll regret later."

Nayeon scoffed. "Don't worry, I've thought it through," she said, while Jeongyeon sighed, attempting to climb back onto the board. As she struggled more than usual, Nayeon noticed a flicker of pain cross her friend's face.

"Hey, let me help you," Nayeon offered, moving closer, but Jeongyeon waved her off.

"No need, I got this," Jeongyeon insisted, though it was clear she was struggling. Nayeon hesitated but eventually stepped back, letting her friend do it on her own. Jeongyeon had suffered an accident a few months ago that sidelined her from the group for weeks. Her neck had been severely impacted, and though the pain lingered, she was determined to do everything on her own again. Relying on others had been difficult for her, given her natural instinct to take care of others, not the other way around. She was desperate to recover fully and stop feeling like a burden.

Nayeon gave her a weak, slightly sad smile but respected her friend's wishes. "Okay," she said softly, watching as Jeongyeon finally made it onto the board.

She was panting from the effort but finally laying on the boar. "Okay, just let me lay here for a few minutes," she said, and Nayeon smiled, replying with a simple, "Okay."

Now that Nayeon had some free time with no immediate activities left—having already tried waterskiing and deciding it wasn't for her—her mind began to wander. An idea started forming as she swam toward a shallower area where she could walk. Her eyes drifted toward Mina and Sana, and she found herself heading in their direction. In her mind, she was scolding herself for the thoughts she was having, but with that view in front of her, who could blame her?

Mina was wearing a dark blue bikini exposing her perfect skin and look so good on her, but her gaze today was focusing on the older Japanese, Sana was wearing a green bikini that enhanced her skin, her perfect curves playing along with the waves and the water running down her body and with her loose wet hair, it made one of the sexiest views she has ever had in her life.
