It was no secret that the hyung line loves Jinyoung but when they all decided to confess, that was when things turned nasty. "I like you" Jackson told Jinyoung. Soon after, Mark also confessed and lastly Jaebum his best friend in the whole wide worl...
I stopped walking and double-checked the address using Google Maps. It seems like I have reached the place. I found myself staring at a three-storey house with a fancy car parked next to it...it looks grand. Is this even the right place?
I pressed the doorbell and waited. There was no response. I rang the bell once more. Maybe this was the wrong place? Just as I was about to leave, the door opened and Jackson came out, apologizing for taking so long to answer the door. He claimed that he just shut his eyes for five seconds and he fell asleep. Right, nothing changed. He is still the Jackson I know. Jackson gave me a short tour around the house before shooing me into the bathroom. "Hurry up and get changed! I will be upstairs!"
After changing into my swimwear, I headed upstairs and walked to the pool. The view was spectacular. The pool was literally sparkling and the stars in the sky look like crystals.

Jackson was already in the pool waiting for me. I entered the pool and walked towards Jackson since I can't swim and I am tall...so why not? "Uh, how are we going to do this?" I asked Jackson. Jackson said that I should start by learning how to glide "so you put both hands together and then lift yourself off the ground...like this," Jackson then glided away from me. "Now try it" I tried copying Jackson but I was unable to lift my feet off the ground. "I don't dare to leave my feet off the ground...it feels scary," I told Jackson after my many failed attempts. "Why are you so scared of the water...you won't drown and speaking of which, aren't you used to being in the water? (flashback to hard carry, never ever, LOTBS)," Jackson asked. "But this is different; I was able to hold onto some float..." Jackson swam back to me and with a grin, he said, "In that case, you can hold onto me and when you feel confident then I will let go."
"Don't let go yet!" I tried to shout but my words were muffled under the water. Jackson didn't hear me and began to pull away. I was annoyed until I saw that I was floating. Well, that wasn't scary at all. I started to kick my legs and was successful in "swimming". I looked at Jackson for approval. Jackson raised his brow and said that gliding is not really considered swimming and that I have to learn the proper strokes before I could declare that I could swim.
After two hours, I can proudly declare that I can swim now. We decided to take a break. We sat at the edge of the pool and admired the stars. They were so pretty. Thanks to Jackson, I can swim now...but I knew that now was the time to address the problem. "We need to talk." I looked at Jackson seriously. Jackson walked over and sat next to me "yea sure, but you don't have to give me any reply to my confession...I was not expecting one, I just wanted to express my feelings." I was still unsure of my feelings. Sure I like Jackson, he is fun to be around with and he knows my insecurities... but do I love him? I don't want to hurt his feelings. I took his hands and said "I am still not sure about my feelings towards you, I need more time. I..." Jackson cut me off and replied that he was happy that I wasn't rejecting him " I don't want things to turn awkward even if you don't like me that way, we can still be good friends!'' Hearing that, I smiled and slowly nodded my head. If Jackson was going to keep being so nice to me, I just might fall for him. We decided to keep things as it is for now. Jackson jumped into the pool and declared to have a swimming competition. "No fair, you will definitely be faster than me." I reluctantly entered the pool and glared at Jackson. He said he would go easy but he still won in the end.
"That was really fun!" I leaned against the poolside. All of a sudden, I felt hands grabbing my waist and Jackson was grinning. "So? Made up your mind yet?" He whispered into my ear and chills went down my spine. "No...that's...cheating Jackson, you aren't supposed to seduce me"
Jackson replied, "I haven't even started, do you want me to?" He leaned in closer and I thought he was going to kiss me. Then he pulled away and climbed out of the pool. He was dripping wet and under the moonlight, his body seemed to be glowing and his abs were in full glory. Wow, how have I not noticed how hot Jackson was...Jackson caught me staring and teased me. "I know I am hot, but we really need to shower and return back to the dorm" I quickly climbed out of the pool and grabbed my things.
We quickly showered and decided to head back to the dorm. I checked my phone and saw the time. I wasn't even aware that it was half-past midnight. Did we really spend the whole night swimming for that long?? I took out my phone and was shocked to see so many missed calls and notifications.

I hurriedly read through all the messages and replied that I was on the way back.
Jackson peered at my phone and after reading the messages, he soon realized that I was in trouble.
"Uh oh," Jackson looked back at me.
Just then my phone rang and I picked it up.
"No, I am fine, I just...was busy, sorry I didn't see those messages"
I could hear Jaebum sigh at the other end of the phone line. "It has been a long day, I am very tired, just come back...then we will talk."
