Areum's POV:

Struggling, I dragged him to the shore. I was so worried that my careless action could've terribly affected him. He unconsciously laid on the shore, and I was deciding whether I should call a ambulance or give him CPR. I eventually decided to just give him CPR, because I knew if I had called an ambulance, they'd take to long to arrive. I sat down next to him and began to do chest compressions. I put my hands into his chest, and kept pushing down. The guys stood up, and watched as I attempted to save him. They looked really worried. I then decided to give him mouth to mouth. I placed my finger on his forehead, pinched his nose, took a breath, and put my mouth onto his, so I could transfer my air to him . I only knew how to do this by watching people on TV do it. I wasn't perfect, but I had to try. After lots of attempts, he woke up. I sighed in relief. He stood up and took a huge breath.

"Taehyung, you're okay! I actually saved you! I'm so happy!" I excitedly said, almost in tears of joy.

He widely smiled. "Yes, I know, it's great. But, you didn't save me."

"I didn't? Well then what- you know what, it doesn't matter. At least you're okay now."

He leaned in towards me, and whispered into my ear. "You didn't wake me up from my unconsciousness, because I was never unconscious. But thanks for what you did anyway." He winked and walked off.

I couldn't believe he said that. Who did he think he was? I looked up at the guys, and they were looking at me like I was some sort of hero. Well, I was to them at least, because they thought I had actually saved Taehyung. And I was fine with that; at least they didn't know what acually happened. If they did, then that would mean Taehyung would have to move out of my house, since he purposely embarrassed me.  (He didn't accidentally pretend tend to drown, obviously.)

I ran up to Taehyung and pulled his arm back, so he'd face me.

"Taehyung, why did you do that!" I exclaimed.

"Cause."

"C-cause! That's no answer! Give me a proper response, please."

"It was a test." Still not an answer.

I furrowed my brows and cocked my head to the side, confused. I had no idea what he was talking about.

"I was just testing the girl I love to see if she cared enough about me to save my life."

I pointed at myself, confused. "Are you referring to me?"

"Yes, you! Who else would I be taking about, silly?" he said like I was an idiot.

"Taehyung, l-love is a very powerful word. Are you sure that you-."

"Yes, Areum. I love you." As soon as he said that, my whole body started to tingle.

"But, w-why me?"

"Because you have the biggest heart I know, and you're absolutely beautiful." Why did he say that I had the biggest heart that he knew? I wasn't even that nice to him. Wow, he must have knew some really heartless people.

"Well, Taehyung, there's other girls with those qualities, too." I pointed out the obvious.

He came closer to me and held my hands. "Yeah, but they're not you, so I don't care about them. I love you and there's nothing that can change that."

Okay, so, I obviously didn't know how to react. And, I didn't expect this. I thought he just flirted with me sometimes as a joke or to make me feel uncomfortable. I didn't think he actually was actually in love with me.
