"Just paddle your way around and take in all the nature around you. A very relaxing place to be in the middle of the semester." Mr. Park said as he paddle around in his own canoe.

You checked your surroundings and you had to agree with him. It was super calm and relaxing. Fresh air, the sound of water fall near you. And being on water made everything ten times better.

"As long as you are in a safe distance from the current you'll be al- hey HEY!" All of the students attention averted to the now yelling teacher. Even th students that were on land looked over. "ANDY! STAY AWAY FROM THE CURRENT!"

You looked to your right and saw one of the students, Andrew having trouble controlling his canoe. "I'M TRYING!" He yelled and tried paddling away from the dangerous zone but because of his panicked movements, he was only getting closer to it.

Everyone was yelling at him, telling him to calm down but keep paddling but Andy was still panicking.

"ANDY STAY CALM!"

"ANDREW DON'T MOVE TOO MUCH!"

"DON'T STOP PADDLING!"

"JUMP OFF, ANDY!"

"NO DON'T! IT'S MORE DANGEROUS IF YOU DO! STAY IN YOUR CANOE!"

"ANDREW DON'T PANIC!"

"IF YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO PANIC THEN STOP FRICKING YELLING AT HIM!"

Andrew was very scared and confused at all the people that were yelling at him. He ended up ignoring them all and continue panicking.

You looked at Andy, and the strong current that was leading to a probable death.

'Don't do it, (Y/N)'

'But Andy is in trouble!'

'So what! You never even talked to him.'

'But he's still a human being!'

'You don't know what will happen if you help him. Don't be a hero, (Y/N)! You promised Namjoon.'

You dropped your paddle. "I'm sorry, Joonie." You whispered before diving into the water.

"(Y/N)! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" You heard Namjoon's voice calling you out from land.

"(Y/N)! DON'T!" Mr. Park was also worried about you.

You quickly swam to Andy who stared at you with his eyes wide. "Andy! Andy! Listen to me! Calm down, okay? It's going to fine!"

"What are you doing, (Y/N)?! Get away from here!" Andy tried to push you away.

"No! No! Listen! I'm going to push your canoe but help me out and keep paddling towards the others, you got me?!" You had trouble speaking as you were in the water. "Please! We don't have much time!"

You got close to a rock and placed your feet carefully on it. You pushed Andy's canoe with both your hands. "Just keep paddling, Andy!" You ordered him and he did as told.

You could feel that it was moving away so you pushed harder. Your feet slipped a couple of times but you managed to catch yourself. Mr. Park saw that you were struggling so he also jumped into the water.

He swam towards you and Andy and went beside to help you push Andy to safety. With his help, it was easier to push. But you felt yourself slipping by the second so you gave a final push and Andy finally escaped the current.

"YES!" Mr. Park cheered but you and him were still at the dangerous zone.

Unfortunately, your feet slipped over the slippery rocks and you fell into the current. You screamed in fear.

"(Y/N)!" Almost all of the people yelled your name. Namjoon quickly ran to try to catch your drifting body. And you were drifting fast.

"THE WATER'S TOO STRONG! HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!" Namjoon yelled while running on the land next to the current.

"JOONIE I-" You tried to speak but you kept drowning.

"NO! STAY WITH ME! I'LL FIND YOU, OKAY?! DON'T WORRY! I'LL FIND YOU!" He raced towards you even when he knew that there was no chance that he could catch you before you reach the waterfall.

(A/N: Wait do rivers even work like that? If not then let's just pretend it does. I'm sorry I'm very stupid)

"(Y/N)! I PROMISE YOU'LL BE FINE! I'LL FIND YOU, I PROMISE! GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!" Namjoon kept yelling but his vision was already blurred from tears forming in his eyes.

You also had water in your eyes so you couldn't get them opened. You wanted to yell but water would filled your lungs instantly if you open your mouth even for a second.

The water push you for what felt like hours and Namjoon's sprinting figure became further and blurrier.

All of a sudden, it felt like you were flying. The sound of water filled in your ears like it was right next to your ears. You looked up and saw the clear sky. So bright and blue. Birds flew around happily. You could breath properly again.

But your mind was all fuzzy as if you were drunk. But you did smile at the beautiful scenery you saw before you. Your ears caught a faint yell from a distance before your vision went dark again.

***

After the final yell Namjoon gave, it was silent.

Dead silent.

The only sound was the sound of water splashing on the bottom of the waterfall and the strong wind blowing the surrounding.

Namjoon was leaning against a rock, so close to the edge of the waterfall. One wrong step and he could have the same situation as you. His eyes searched for you.

But nothing.

He didn't see your body.

'She isn't floating...'

'WHY ISN'T SHE FLOATING?!'

He froze as he kept staring at the water.

Everyone was quiet. Mr. Park had his palm over his mouth in shock.

The day had a dark turn real quick.

No one dared to speak. Andy was in shock and was blaming himself for everything.

Namjoon's body didn't move a muscle.

It scared everyone more than the fact that you probably just died.

A tear fell from Namjoon's eyes. It fell all the way down to the bottom. Being a part of the lake.

(A/N: but is it a lake tho? HAHAH im stupid i swear so please be stupid too for the sake of this book)

For seemed like minutes, there were still no trace of you. Namjoon refused to think that you...

'No'

'It can't be.'

He stood up quickly and wiped his tears.

"What the fuck are we doing just standing here?!'
