The Truth Untold

*Jimin's Pov*

I walked up and sat next to Isabelle on the log, taking my sneakers off as well. I placed my feet in the cold soothing water and sighed in relief.

"Best feeling after a long day at work?" She spoke, looking off in the distance. I chuckled and nodded in agreement as she began to look at me.

"Hey," she started, getting up. "I know this is kind of a long shot, but wanna go for a short swim?"

I froze in place, not sure of what to say. She flashed that beautiful smile at me and I couldn't help but blush uncontrollably. She realized and sat back down brushing her hair behind her ears.

"Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked. We only just met."

She twiddled her toes in the water I saw her ears turn red of embarrassment. It made me giggle some what and she looked at me from the corner of her eye.

"What's oh-so funny, Jimin?" She laughed some and looked away smiling.

"Your ears turn red... like mine."

I showed her and we both smiled at each other. She got up once more and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Well Park Jimin, I guess we have found something in common." She busted out laughing and I followed.

She pulled off her shirt and pants, but I quickly turned away shyly. Next thing I know, she ran and jumped into the water screaming "woohoo!" as a small wave of water splashed onto my knees. I stood up and brushed the water off laughing. Good thing I wore shorts. I'm so lucky that it's late May.

I peaked and saw her head pop up from the middle of the lake. She laughed and pushed her bangs away from her eyes.

"The water is GREAT!" she yelled enthusiastically.

I smiled and looked around at the trees. "Are you sure we should be doing this Isabelle?!" I yelled back nervously.

She shrugged, giggling some.

"You know you can call me Belle. It's okay with me." She responded smiling.

She motioned for me to come into the water with her. I shook my head no and sat back on the log with my arms crossed. She gave me a small smirk and swam over to me, then began to splash water at my body.

"Stop!!" I yelled playfully.

She wouldn't. She continued to splash until I agreed to go into the water with her. I pulled off my sweater and shirt but left my basketball shorts on. I sat on the grass in front of to the water leaving my legs to dangle in it. I felt my nervousness kick in again. How was I supposed to tell her this??

Isabelle laid her arms on my thighs and looked up at me smiling evilly.

"Oh no," I thought to myself. "I was too late. I should've just told her."

Next thing I know, I was pulled into the cold water. It surrounded me and drenched every part of me. I felt like I was loosing air, and I could feel my body go insane as I tried to reach for the surface.

I can't swim and I never learned how.

I felt my body become weak as I started to run out of air. Maybe this is how it ends. Just a fun bonding with Isabelle and suddenly my life gets snatched away in a lake. I felt myself sinking further and further to the bottom of the lake. Far out of anyone's reach. My name was being called, but it was such a blurry sound. The water engulfed my ears, whatever I was hearing wasn't what it should be.

"Jimin!!" I managed to make out.

Isabelle? I forgotten she was there. I was so caught up in the moment, it's like she wasn't there. I thought for the slightest second that I had fell into the water by accident, or even jumped in to kill myself. No.. but why would I do that? I can't leave Anna and Noah on their own. How could I forgive myself?
