Hoseok- drowning

Requested by @cams_87 let's see how this goes!!!

It was the boys' favourite time of the year. The time to film their summer package, this year in Kota Kinabalu.

Now, when they were told that they were going on a banana boat, let's just say not all of them were as excited as Jungkook. Hoseok and Yoongi, both of whom aren't very fond of water, weren't that excited, but there was nothing they could do about it, so they just put on a brave face and got on with it.

They all lined up with their life jackets on and filmed a quick section talking about what they're about to do and how excited they are. Jungkook was happily bouncing while Hoseok was biting his lips with nerves. He would be flying through the water on a boat at crazy speeds, not something Hoseok was too keen on. He looks over at the body of water they'd be flying over and saw all the waves, the choppiness of the water. It doesn't look safe. He thought. But the next thing he knew he was already being ushered to the boat.

Hoseok hides his anxiety and pretends to be his usually bubbly self, messing around with the maknaes. They climbed on the boat one by one, and the staff jokingly pulled him while he was hanging on to the boat. That definitely didn't help his nerves. But no one had fallen off. At least not yet. The boat took off, at a slower speed to begin with, each of them clinging on to the handles. Hoseok plastered a smile on his face, although inside, his heart was beating hard and fast, full of anxiety.

The boat driver shouts to them that they're gonna go faster, and Hoseok instinctively grips the handle tighter, inhaling sharper. They turned a sharp corner and flew over a wave, throwing everyone off. They all screamed in excitement, apart from one.

Hoseok took in a sharp inhale of breath in shock, only to find he was already in the water. He inhaled water straight into his lungs, and in an attempt to cough it out, just inhaled more water. Wait, why am I sinking? I thought I had a life jacket on? He moved his hand to his chest only to feel no life jacket there. He looked up to see his life jacket, floating above him. He started thrashing forcefully to try and push himself to the surface, but just as he's about to break through, a strong wave pushes more water down his throat, and he falls back down again. At that point he already felt tiredness taking over as the stinging pain in his chest turned to numbness.

They all climbed out of the boat, laughing and joking. It was all so fun for them.
"I thought I was the only one who was thrown off!" Yoongi says happily. They all speak excitedly until someone speaks up.
"Wait, where's Hoseok?" One of the staff says. The others look around, noticing he's not come out yet. They all look into the water and see his life vest, floating in the water, but no Hoseok.
"H-he can swim, right?" One of the staffs asks.
"Of course he can!" Yoongi replies. Jungkook starts laughing.
"Haha funny prank Hoseok! You got us! You can come out now!" He shouted. No response.
"Hoseok come out already!" Yoongi shouts, annoyed. Silence.
"Guys I'm getting kinda worried..." Jin says, nervously.
"That's just your motherly instincts kicking in, he's fine Hyung he's just pranking us!" Tae says with a giggle, softly elbowing Jin.
"Yeah but, it's been a minute or so since we were thrown off and he hasn't even come up for air yet?" They all freeze. He's right. How could he possibly hold his breath for that long?
"We gotta find him and get him outta there!" Jin shouts, about to go in himself, before he's stopped.
"It's ok a lifeguard is going." Yoongi says, holding his arm out in front of jin. They watch as a lifeguard dives in with a ring, and he disappears beneath the water. They all hold their breath, waiting for the lifeguard to swim back up with Hoseok safe in his arms. Well, they don't quite get what they wanted. The lifeguard comes out, holding Hoseok in his arms. But Hoseok isn't safe. He's limp, not breathing. The lifeguard pulls him onto the boat and immediately starts doing cpr on him, trying to get the water out of his lungs. He also checks for a heartbeat, and luckily they were just quick enough; he still had one, just about. The lifeguard pushes hard against his chest, willing him to start coughing up water at some point. All the members watch in shock. They thought it was just a prank. Some of them hoped it was still just a prank.
