Into the Deep || BTS AU

Three

Taehyung and Jin duck behind the rock again, out of sight of the two humans. Their hearts beating like crazy. Taehyung's head was spinning just a bit. They were too far from each other to get a good view but the distance didn't put him any less on edge. 

"What do we do?" Taehyung stares at Jin with wide eyes.

"Well, there is no use in hiding if they know that we are already here. Just to be safe though, only one of us should go out while the other goes to warn Jimin. If their friend is still alive then we have to make sure Jimin knows that there are at least three humans in the water. You go find Jimin and I will handle these two." Jin takes a deep breath and nods his head, trying to seem confident in his plan. 

He knows it's probably a better idea to ignore the humans and let them die, but something in him wouldn't allow it. His curious nature seemed harder to control than normal. He also knows that going alone isn't that good of an idea either, but he needs to make sure that Jimin is safe and he trusts Taehyung to do that. Their senses are off right now and he can't tell if something is wrong with the younger.

Taehyung nods his head, trusting his friend's decision and gives Jin a reassuring smile. "For now we should take them to Hobi. He will know what to do."

"We are taking them to the island? Hyung, what if we get in trouble, or they are not as harmless as we think." Tae furrows his eyebrows and brushes some hair out of his face.

"Hobi can handle a few humans, but we need to make sure that there aren't anymore and can't just leave them unattended. I will take the blame if something goes wrong, so for now, go find Jimin and I will handle things here." Jin says, with no room for argument in his voice. Not that Tae would argue his plan, it's the only one they have and he trusts Jin to do everything he can to protect them and their home.

With that said and done, Taehyung takes one last peek at the humans. They are still looking over at the rock, looking warn out and less hopeful than his first peek at them. Obviously scared that they are indeed stranded, alone, and now missing a paddle. Then he dives underwater swimming off to find his blond friend.

"I know for a fact that we just saw someone, but where are they? And what are they doing all the way out here?" Jungkook mutters to the older. He falls back slightly, still keeping a close eye on the rock, losing hope that someone will come to help them.

They have spent hours in the water, not only that but their friend Yoongi is gone and they have yet to find anyone else on their crew. The hot sun is starting to make them feel dizzy, they ran out of drinkable water not too long ago and know better than to drink water from the ocean.

Namjoon sits and waits, shoulders falling slightly when he starts to think Jungkook was right and they have both finally lost it. They both sit there unmoving, anxiously keeping a close eye on the rock for any sign of movement. As the minutes ticks by the hope for someone's help dwindles but neither makes a move to stop staring in the distance, to tired to continue. Almost forgetting to blink. Both boys are hungry and tired but there is still some survival adrenaline running through their veins. Namjoon will do whatever it takes to get himself and Jungkook to safety.

A few minutes after they called out to Jin and Taehyung, they hear a large splash and something silver briefly poke over the top edge of the rock. "What was that?" Jungkook sits up slightly again, his head spinning slightly as he does, hoping something happens to get them out of this stupid inflatable boat.

Jungkook isn't disappointed, the pink-haired boy once again looks over the side of the rock. This time more so that the humans can tell that he is in fact male.

"Hey, you mind lending us a hand!" Namjoon smiles at the boy, Hoping to come across and friendly to the seemingly distrusting man. He tries to further make out his features but the sun is preventing him from seeing too much detail.

"Can I trust you?" Jin calls over. His voice is pleasant, Namjoon takes a minute to answer because he is in a slight daze. Not just him but Jungkook is affected by the alluring voice as well. When Namjoon does bring himself to reply he can't seem to form words and instead nods his head slightly, a look of wonder on his face.

Jin takes a deep breath and slowly pushes himself underwater, going deep so that they cannot see his approach. Both boys quickly sit up and prepare themselves, not knowing exactly what is going on.

Jin appears in front of the small inflatable boat and looks up at the two humans above him. They are both fairly attractive. The taller one has light brown hair, and the other was black. Both are sporting some muscle. The one Jin guesses is Namjoon, the taller one of the two, has some dimples, which Jin thinks is cute. He gives them a small smile, amused by the amazed, dazed glint in their dark eyes. He knows of what kind of effect his species' natural beauty has on humans and he finds it amusing more than anything else.

"Mind passing me that rope. I can take you to a friend of mine, he doesn't live too far from here and can help you." Namjoon doesn't move, too entranced at the sight of the beautiful man before him. Every previous thought of him being straight flew out the window the second he laid eyes on the pink-haired, broad-shouldered god in front of him.

Jungkook on the other hand is less affected by Jin and rushes to grab the rope. "Are you gonna try and pull us? Because I don't think that will be very easy, especially since we are so far from shore. You would have to be a crazy good and insanely strong swimmer." Jungkook hands Jin the end of the rope and ties the other end to the hook at the front. His face scrunched up in curiosity and confusion, but still going along with his request because why the hell not at this point. If he has in fact lost it, might as well go with the flow. 

"Well then, it's a good thing that I am, in fact, an 'insanely good and crazy strong swimmer' now isn't it?" Jin replies in a cocky tone as he ties the rope over his shoulder and down to his waist like he was wearing a seat belt.

Not that Jin knows what a seat belt is.

Jin gives the two humans a small smirk and tells them to hold on, then turns around and starts to swim his way to his friends. Luckily for him, the boat covers his lower half. So far the water has been too dark and murky, and they have been too detracted by his face, so they have taken no notice of the light pink limb.

Namjoon sits back, staring at the back of Jin's head. He tries to wrap his head around everything that has happened the last few hours as he finally comes off the survival adrenaline high that has kept him going so far.

Jungkook on the other hand attempts to be helpful and grabs the paddle to aid Jin, not quite believing he is good as a swimmer as he says he is, despite the wide swimmer's shoulders. He would have told Namjoon to do the same but the idiot threw his paddle away claiming there was no other way to find out that someone was close by. Jungkook calls bull and thinks his friend just wanted to get rid of the stupid paddle so that he wouldn't have to row anymore but is still thankful that his idiotic plan worked and didn't backfire.
