The morning was quiet.

We ate breakfast quietly. Rapmon and Suga were silent. Jungkook wasn't present at all. Taehyung and Jimin said a few words but other than that no one made conversation.

J-hope broke the silence, "Yoona, can you swim?"

I smiled and nodded.

"So, where is the pool? Stored away in another hidden compartment?" I smirked.

He smirked back, and tapped buttons on a panel. The back wall of the gym hall slid open, revealing a decent sized pool.

"No way!" I gasped, walking towards it. "You have a pool as well?"

J-Hope smiled. "It's necessary to be a competent swimmer. You never know when you could be in a dangerous situation in water."

I shrugged off my dress - I already had my swimsuit on underneath. I dipped my toe into the pool - it was cold.

"Hobi...it's too cold!" I whined, before stopping. I've only know him a while and I'm calling him Hobi?!
"Sorry..."

He chuckled. "It's cute, don't worry. The members call me it too. Now get in!"

"You're good," he mused, and I grinned. He jumped into the pool himself, splashing water all over me.
"Hey!" I laughed, splashing him back.
"Oh, it's on!" He laughed, and that's when our water fight started...

~Jungkook's Point of View~

My power is handy. I am thankful for it.
I watched her eat breakfast; her expression was unreadable. After her and J-Hope left, I followed them down into the hall.
I watched the pair splash each other with water, and realised she had an angelic laugh.

J-Hope suddenly grabbed Yoona, and dunked her under the water. I watched as she struggled to get out of his grip. She needed air. Why am I not helping?

Because it was all part of the training. At the last moment he pulled her back up, as she gasped for air.

"Hoseok!" She wheezed, collapsing against him.

"Shh.. You're fine, you're fine," He said soothingly, rubbing her back as she breathed heavily. He cupped her face, and she looked him in the eye.

"You don't like that feeling of course - no one does. You need to learn to withstand numerous minutes underwater... You never know when you might be trapped."

Yoona nodded, and he smiled at her softly.
I slunk away, knowing they wouldn't see me as I quickly opened the doors and went back up the passage, closing the door on them.

~Yoona's Point of View~

"Well done today, and I'm sorry if I frightened you earlier," Hoseok smiled sheepishly.

"It's okay, don't worry about it," I smiled back, as he placed a towel on my shoulders. I thanked him, and after I dried myself and slipped my dress back on, we went back upstairs. I don't know how many lengths I swam but it was a lot; I guess I had to get used to the amount of work I had to do now.

-after lunch-

"Woah."
Another area I didn't know about - at the end of the pool area was a door, through which was a large deep pit. Across the mouth of the pit was a criss cross of wooden beams at various widths and heights. Jimin helped me slip on a harness, and secured it around my waist.

"Now, stand on that nearest one there," He pointed. Jin grabbed my hand as I stepped onto it. All the beams looked unstable but I had no choice.

"Don't look down," Jin instructed, but of course when someone says that you automatically look. I gulped at the large distance between myself and the bottom.

"Don't worry, the bottom is padded, you won't  get hurt," Jin grinned and whispered in my ear, as he let go of my hand and stepped back.

"Just take a few steps forward, Yoona," Jimin smiled, and I followed what he told me. I was now about a quarter of the way across the beam, looking at Jimin and Jin in fear. One slip and I'd fall, hitting all the beams below on the way down. Sure, I had my harness, but still...

"Just jump down onto the closest one."
I swallowed hard, and looked at Jimin and Jin who were observing me from the edge of the pit. Their encouraging expressions made me a little more confident.
"Alright..."

I spotted the next beam which was the nearest distance to my own. I braced myself and leaped... And just missed it. I closed my eyes and curled up upon instinct, but no impact came.
"We've got you!" I heard the boys laugh and pull me back up via the harness. They got me back to the first beam.
"Just try again..."

"Well that was scary!" I grinned, but was feeling good. After quite a few tries, I'd managed to successfully leap from top to bottom, grabbing each beam. Of course, it took a very long time as I paused on every beam, but soon enough they assured me that I'd be bounding through the whole thing within minutes.

"You're picking things up very quickly I must say," Jin smiled, and I gushed with pride; it was good to hear. We walked back upstairs shortly after.

"Where is everyone?" I asked, not managing to find any of the other members.

"Gone to the studio to practise. We are still a music group you know," Jimin smirked, and I nodded. Of course, while I spend most of my time underground training, whoever wasn't with me would be in the studio.

"Can I come watch you guys?"

The pair of them smiled and nodded.
"Let's go then!"

I watched in awe at the boys dancing.

Seriously, it was amazing watching their videos online but watching it live up close was a whole new thing - I could feel the heat and fast paced atmosphere.

Subconsciously I noticed I was staring at Jungkook, observing his precise and strong movements. He caught me watching him and winked. I blushed and looked away, unable to look him in the eye. I looked at the others instead; they were all mesmerising when they danced, completely in sync.

"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies," Taehyung joked as he slumped beside me, swigging  a long drink from his water bottle. After playfully pinching his arm, I asked, "Are you done for today?"

"Yep."

I flinched at the sudden voice in my ear.

Jungkook was sitting beside me. I observed his side profile... He really was something.

"Take a picture, it lasts longer," He smirked.
I looked away again, blushing and unable to come up with a suitable comeback, not when his black eyes were suddenly fixed on me.

Black eyes.

Not the chocolate brown like usual.

Black.
