"so..." hisako started and just as donghyuck predicted, she had floaties strapped around her upper arms to prevent her from sinking. as soon as she got in the deep end, her arms flailed around as she didn't know what else to do with her limbs even though there was renjun yelling out instructions to her to keep herself afloat.

back in shallow water, renjun stood with hisako in front of him, thinking back to how he learned how to swim. after declaring he didn't recall much about it to himself, one thing he did remember was the wikihow article he searched for after lunch at school earlier today.

"let's start with kicking your legs."

"grab the ledge and kick as hard as you can. okay?" hisako nodded and did as told.

the only problem was hisako's panic to not having her feet planted on the ground. it was such a foreign feeling to the girl. she couldn't even float.

renjun saw her trouble with floating and decided to help her. clearing his throat, renjun boldly placed a hand under her waist and the other on the top of her back, "i-i hope you don't mind."

"oh uhm it's fine don't worry." hisako replied, feeling reassured having renjun supporting her with the water. it made her slightly more confident in the water which was already a big step for her in learning how to swim.

for the first time in years, there was an awkward silence between the two teenagers.

that was the moment hisako decided to bring up the subject that's been keeping her up at night.

"so your friend, huh? does he still like me?"

unsuspecting of the question hisako just shot at him, renjun nearly choked on air. "uHM course he does. there's never a day that goes by where he doesn't talk about you."

releasing your grip from the ledge and standing up, renjun took his hands off of her. hisako quirked an eyebrow up, "so you talk to him a lot?"

"to be honest there aren't that many people you talk to every day. jeno, jaemin, jisung, mark, chenle, the devil aka donghyuck.. hmmm who else?"

alarms set off in renjun's head, warning signs and red lights too. he nearly fucked up. "haH WELL YOu shouldn't overthink it, he'll tell you eventually who he is."

hisako looked up to the sky and brought her hand to her chin in a thinking position. "maybe sanha? nah you only talk to him in music class. what about guanlin? no no no he's too tall to even see you." she giggled at her own joke whilst renjun lightly flicked her forehead.

wincing in pain, hisako's forehead turned red, "that's what you get for assuming who my friend is. you'll just have to wait." renjun crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked away.
