Ah! The salty but pleasant smell of beach sand and the ocean. It was too great, along with the sun shining down on you.
The beach was almost empty. No one was sitting on the chairs, no one was building sand castles, no one was sun bathing. No one was there except you, and a person at the distant part of the ocean.
You were amaze with how far the person was from the shore, and how he was still alive.
When suddenly, his head gets buried under a huge wave. You got nervous, of course, especially when its been fifteen seconds since the person lift his head to the surface.
a few seconds more and finally, thankfully, the person arises. A head pops up the water, and it made you sigh in relief.
"HELP!" A man shouted.
"HE-" The shouting stops along with the man, submerging.
"OH MY GOSH!" You shouted in fear. There was no one to ask for help. So, yes, you swam as fast as you can to rescue this stranger.
When you were near where the man was before, you swim down and tried to look for him.
THERE HE IS!
About ten feet down away from you.
You resurfaced and breathed deeply. Then dived down again.
Don't sink even further! It'll be harder to get you!
A few minutes later...
*cough *cough *heave
You tapped the man's face continuously, hoping that his consciousness would return. It was definitely not working; so you resolve to CPR.
*pump *pump *pump *inhale *exhale in his mouth
No response.
*pump *pump *pump *inhale *exhale in his mouth
No res-
Bleeeekkkhhaaa - uhh - uhhhh - ahh
You waved his hand in front of him.
"Mister, how are you feeling?" You said. "Mister, can you hear me."
"I always thought I'll end up in hell when I die. How come there's an angel in front of me?" He said.
"You're not dead." You said which made him realized what had happened.
"You saved my life." He sighed right before he sat up and hugged you.
Woah.
"I could've died." He said, trembling. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Well its good that you know you're not immortal." You said, which made him end the embrace.
He sniffs, almost about to cry.
"Next time, when you know you're alone, don't go too far off from the shore."
He nodded.
"What's your name? My words aren't enough to thank you."
"My name is (y/n)." You answered, slowly realizing how good looking this man was.
"(Y/N). Thank you. How could I repay you? Tell me."
From the looks of it, the man looked average, so asking for too much would make him feel less grateful.
"No. I'm fine. Saving a life is already a gift."
"No. I insist. Anything."
You don't have anything to ask for the guy, but it looks like he wouldn't take no for an answer.
So you said, "You no what, I can't think properly for now. You know, cuz of all the adrenaline. So let me sleep on it."
"That's good. Ok. Sleep on it."
You took the scarf that was tied around your waist and throw it on him. You coat him with it and helped him walk towards your hotel.
When you got there, the security guards, the pool watchers, and even the person at the desk came running towards you.
Wow. Are they always this worried to their costumers? Why not place a life guard near the beach then?
"Mr. Lee! Are you alright? Are you ok?" Each and everyone of them worried.
"What happened?" One of them asked you.
"He almost drowned. Good thing I was there." You said.
One of them finally took him from you, and supported him. Then everyone else bowed at you.
"We are thankful, we are grateful, that you have saved our master." The desk clerk said.
Master? So they're not this nice to their costumers.
"Mr. Lee, please come this way, we will have you checked-"
"Take care of her." He said bluntly. "Make sure she's fine."
"I'm fi-"
"Right this way, madam." One person said.
"Prepare her dinner. Give her what she asks."
"But I do-"
"Please, Mr. Lee, come this way now."
Then you found yourself watching him leave you. How many times would this happen to you.
You save someones life and then that someone happens to be this rich. Wow.
Then you remembered.
"Hey. What's you're name!"
"Lee Jin-ki." He coughed weakly, but at the same time, he manage to speed towards you.
"Lee Jin-ki." You whispered back as you came face to face with him.
"Yes." He said, right before kissing your forehead. "My name is Lee Jin-ki, and I am so thankful that you saved me." He said smiling.
He was assisted by his men again, and there you were left standing again.
"This is the first time I saw our Master smile like that, hold someone's hand, kiss their forehead." A female staff said.
Although it was only CPR, and was done to save a life, not a kiss for romantic reasons, he was still the first person who you touched lips with.
That kiss on the forehead, however, thrown more adrenaline than the actual life saving.
