Namjoon's POV

"Aren't you one?" I accidentally blurted out of anger. It was too late to take it back.

"You can call me whatever you want. I'll just accept it." She said. I saw pain reflected through her eyes. I saw how tears form into it.

I was about to say sorry when she walked away. Seconds later, we heard a splash and saw (y/n) struggling to breathe in the water.

"Help me, please! Please.." she shouted for help. I stopped on my track for a moment.

Wait, I think I heard that before.. Then a scene flashed before my eyes.

"Please, help me.. Please" she was crying as she begged me. I didn't give a fuck. I was too busy with my broken heart to even help anybody.

I came back to my senses. When Yoon Gi was about to go to her, I shoved him aside and dived into the water to save her instead.

I saw her figure deep into the water. I swam near her and dragged her out of the water with me.

She was unconscious.

I looked at her whole. She had her eyes closed, she looked so pale. Awhile ago, she was so scared.. just like the first time I saw her. I'm now regretting why the fuck did I leave her with an old perverted man that time. I regret every fucking thing.

I placed her on the floor. I shook her shoulders and slightly tap her cheeks. She still had her eyes closed. I pumped her chest. Still, she didn't budge. I gave her CPR.

I could feel gazes shooting at me but I don't give a fuck. I don't wanna lose her the second time around.

She coughed water as she looked at me.

"Namjoon.." she whispered.

"Don't worry. I got you." I said. Jin handed me her bathrobe as I picked her delicate body bridal style and walked to the house.

"Hand her to me, she's my responsibility." Yoon Gi spoke so I stopped.

Most of us are scared of Yoon Gi. I had to admit, I am sometimes. But not this time. So I continued walking without answering him.

I heard Yoon Gi shouting my name. I didn't care.

I looked at her once more. She fell asleep, leaning on my chest. Bare faced (y/n) was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

-----------------------

We reached my room then I put her on my bed.

So.. what now?

I couldn't just let her sleep with her bikinis wet. I can't ask Jae Hi to do it, either. Knowing the scene they both created just now.

I contemplate whether to do it or not. I reached for the strap of her bikini top. I was near removing it when..

"Okay, I give up!" I groaned as I covered her whole body with the blanket, including her face, because I was so frustrated.

Why can't I do it? The hell.

I decided to go to the kitchen. "I think she'd want hot choco if she wakes up." I thought.

I peeked at the pool side to see Taehyung, Hoseok and Jin already packing things up.

"Jin hyung, let me do it. You have to take a rest. You must be tired since you cooked." I said as I went near to them.

"Nah, I'm good." He said. "How's (y/n)?" He then asked.

"She's fine. She's sleeping." I answered.

Taehyung and Hoseok were silent the whole time we were cleaning. They must be upset at me choosing (y/n) over Jae Hi.

"Where's Jae Hi?" I asked them.

"Noona is with Yoon Gi hyung." Hoseok responded. I nodded.

After we finished, I went back to my room with the hot choco on my hand. I opened the door and saw (y/n) already awake, leaning her back at the head rest.

"Hot choco?" I said. She accepted my offer.

"Why did you help me?" she asked, looking at her mug.

"I needed to. That was the most logical thing to do when you see someone drowning." I answered. No, I saved you because I wanted to. I badly want to say that.

She nodded. "C-can I sleep here for tonight?" she said.

"Okay, I'll be on the floor." I said.

"Can you sleep beside me?" She whispered, still not looking at me. Sadness was obvious in her voice.

"No, I'm sorry." I rejected her. Although, I badly wanted to do it. I wanna comfort her.

"Okay." She said, lying down again as she covered her body facing the opposite side. Her back was all I could see that time.

I was in the middle of my precious slumber when I heard whimpers.

"Don't do it, please.." I saw (y/n) crying on her sleep.

"Wake up, you're having a nightmare." I shook her arm a little.

She didn't open her eyes but her cries were a lot audible this time.

"Please don't, ahjussi." She said.

She still carry that scene all this time? She must have hurt a lot. I couldn't do anything but to blame myself.

She tightly gripped my hands that was shaking her arms. She must have been very scared.

I lied down beside her and scooted nearer. I hugged her. I hugged her like she was the most precious thing I had ever laid my hands on.

"Cry as much as you want because this is the last time you'll do. From now on, I'll be the one to protect you."

3rd Person's POV

"Namjoon! Get back here, bastard!" Yoon Gi was about to run after Namjoon to get (y/n) but a hand stopped him. He looked at the crying Jae Hi.

His face softened. Of all people, only Jae Hi could calm the monster inside Yoon Gi.

He walked the girl to the bench and wrapped a towel around her.

"I thought you'd help me get my Namjoon back." Jae Hi said in a soft tone.

Yoon Gi sighed. Hearing the girl that she loves call other guy 'hers' was enough to crash his already broken stone heart.

"I did help. I kissed (y/n) just to forbid her from kissing Namjoon." he said.

"Why did it turned out this way? She chose her over me." She cries.

"Do you love him so much that you'd go this far?" Wow, the irony, he said to himself.

"Yes." It took a lot for Yoon Gi not to go hysterical like he always do. This fucking hurts. He thought.
