Chapter 36

The others are surfing happily but suddenly Mary screams. "SARAH!!!" Doenja and Suga get up from the beach too. The others are too far off and can't hear them. Jungkook saw it too and he surfed their direction. He is looking for them but can't see them anywhere on the surface and Sarah's board is empty. "This has been already about 2 minutes. They might have died." He is freaking out. Suddenly he sees Sarah pop up.She is pulling Jhope up too, going under by doing so. She pops up again and is looking for her board. She swims to it and allows herself to start to recover her breathing once she grabbed hold of it. But not for long.

She drags Jhope on the board and crawls on it too. She is sitting over him and is doing heart massages. She is doing CPR too, with the little of breath she has. "COME ON!" She is almost crying. She gives him a kiss of life again. In meantime the others have arrived too and are worrying but not skilled enough to let go. They are just witnessing how Sarah is desperately pushing on Jhope's chest. Again the kiss and suddenly Jhope shocks and barfs up water. Sarah turns him to his side and hits his back. Jhope has blood running over the side of his head. Both are panting and Sarah is hitting his chest with her fists. "WHY WHY WHY" He grabs her wrists and sits up, holding Sarah again on his lap like their first time in the forest. "I'm okay. Don't worry, I am okay. He kisses her hands. Sarah is crying and pulls him in for a hug. She squeezes him against her chest, crying loudly. Jungkook and Jimin are sitting on their board and grab hold of the buckle that should be around Sarah's ankle. They pull the board towards the shore. Sarah is too shaken up by the whole ordeal and crying badly. "I thought I lost you... I thought you died. I should not have left you steer the board alone. I should have urged all of you to wear protective life vests." She is blaming herself for everything. The other members are holding onto Jhope while Sarah is sobbing in Mary and Doenja's arms. "There there... everyone is fine. It has all passed now..." Mary is trying to comfort Sarah.

They decide to stop the surfing, they have been at it for a few hours now. They organise all stuff back on the cart that they borrowed and put it back for the rental company to pick it up again. Sarah has calmed down and is sitting on a chair, covered in a towel with some alcohol that Doenja concoctioned for her. Her nerves have calmed down at the soothing alcohol kick. Jhope is drinking one too, he almost was a gonner. Jhope looks at Sarah. He remember how he was in darkness after seeing a white flash when the board has hit his head. The weight of the water crushing on him.He blinked as he saw the sun above the water surface before slipping away into darkness. How the next thing he knew, he saw the blue sky again and Sarah who is right above his face, the despair in her eyes. Her ever red lips blue-ish from her own oxygen shortage. As an angel, the sun formed an halo around her head. She started crying thick tears and hitting his chest. Then he remembers being in her soft embrace, between her breasts. He looks into his glass. She must love me... There is no other way someone would cry and be upset like that... He smiles. Maybe her heart is already as good as mine. He looks up slightly to see what Sarah is doing, but Sarah is calm again and massages her arms. Jin fixed up Jhope's cut in his hairline. "Thank god it isn't visible." Jin closes the first aid kit that Jungkook ran to get from the house. He can't shake the image of Sarah holding Jhope like that, crying that hard.

Sarah is quiet even tho the others praise her for her bravery. Normally she would be gloating, but she is just quiet. Too quiet. Mary thinks. Sarah immediately retreats to her room. She takes off the towel and pulls a painful face. Jin enters the room, not trusting why Sarah is that quiet. When he enters the room, he sees the white towel having red spots. Sarah looks at her arm, and blood is streaming over her arm. "You are hurt too?" Sarah looks up. "It is but a scratch. I'll be fine." Jin comes closer and sees that it is actually more serious. It is a cut of a cm deep and about 7cm long. "This needs stitches." Jin is not up to negotiation. He grabs the towel and Sarah by her other arm. He runs off the stairs and grabs the keys to the van. The others looks at the rush of the 2 and in a flash they see the blooded towel. "What is go-" but Jin and Sarah are already getting into the car. RM didn't get a change to even finish his question. He calls Jin. Jin's phone is in his room. Emma calls Sarah, but the same story. Worriedly they look at the car disappearing out of sight. "They'll be back... Let's make sure to get dinner started by the time they come back." V lays his hand on RM's shoulder. They go back inside.
