Title: Water baby
Pairing: Banghim
Summary: Himchan forgot the person who rescued him back then when he was young.
Notes: Soooo... This was inspired by my "daugther", Shasha and her weird dream~ XD she dreamt about something like this and I felt like it was a pretty good plot to be writen~ ^^

"UMMMMMAAAAAAAA!!"
"Hmm?"
"Ummmaaaaa!!" the male whined.
"What is it, Channie?"
"Come hereeeee!"
"You come here, sweety. I'm busy." footsteps could be heard.
"With what?" he said.
"I'm looking at old pictures."
"Why?" the male sat next to his mum.
"Nothing much. I was clearing the store room when I found some photo albums. And, I found the special one."
"Special one? Umma, if you're talking about you and appa's..." his umma rolled her eyes.
"I'm talking about him." she pointed to a male. Himchan took a look and wide eyed.
"Me?" she laughed.
"Side of that yes. I'm talking about this male here."
"What about him?"
"He saved your life." Himchan looked at his umma with eyes wide open.
"What?"
"You want to know what happened?"
"WELL OF COURSE!"

It was fifteen years ago, you were 8 back then. So was he, the two of you were friends in elementary school, playmates actually. You were pretty popular and he was pretty quiet beside his twin brother.

One day, your class went on a field trip to a park and you kids were playing water. You guys had so much fun that day, and you were so happy. You kind of got carried away according to your teacher and refused to come out of the water, you were screaming your head off when they tried to get you out too. They left you alone for a little while longer and then you finally came out, well technically you almost drown so they dragged you out. While waiting for your turn to dress up, you turned all blue because of the cold and what the doctors said later, was lack of oxygen in the body, and everyone panicked.

The teachers panicked, your classmates panicked, everyone was in panic mode. You were turning more and more blue then you stopped breathing for a while, the teachers tried everything to make you warm but epicly failed. Then this male here came and looked at you. He hugged you and he kissed your forehead, he stood there with you, hands circled around you. And you calmed down, you could breath again and soon your temperature went back to normal.

You boys were close the rest of the day but the following day, the boy's family moved away. You couldn't even say goodbye to him.

"What was his name?"
"Yongguk, Bang Yongguk."

Himchan froze as he was flipping the pages.

"How did he look like?"
"Sweety, the face changes when you age."
"Umma..."
"They said he had thick lips and his smile was very gummy. He looked cute too." Himchan gulped.

"Umma... He has a twin brother right?"
"Yeah.."
"And they look the same right?"
"Yeahh," His mum raised her eyebrows.
"There's a Bang twins in my music school."
"No." she beamed.
"It might not be them. I mean what are the chances of actually seeing them or him again? Korea is big enough and I'm sure there's more than one Bang Yong..."
"His brother is Bang Yongnam." she cut in,"And I don't think it's very common to find Bang twins with names like that." Himchan face palmed,"You found them didn't you?"
"Yes. I think."
"I want to see!"
"No. No, no, no, no. Umma, no."
"Yes yes yes yes yes. I want to see him. Bring him home next time." Himchan sighed.

~

Himchan went to school the next day and he went through his daily routine in his University life. Get to school, get mobbed with his fangirls, smile and wave them away, walk to his locker, greet classmates, group up with his friends, get to class.

Not today apparently.

"Why is the Rock and Rap class in our class?"
"There's a play coming up."
"For seniors? Are you serious?"
"Yeap." Himchan sat himself with his classmates.
"What's up?"
"Play for seniors. Apparently the Rap and the Rock majors are here too."
"There's a Rock major in our school?"
"Sorry, erm I think it's something like production?"
"Music production?" Himchan said.
"Vocals are here too." Himchan turned to the door and watched as more people fill the room.
"Dance too." another classmate said.
"So basically the entire Senior Year is here, huh?" Himchan said a little too loud making everyone look his way and the lecturer who was entering nod at him.

"That's right. Just like Himchan says, the entire Music and Dance Seniors are here. That's cause you're all chosen to perform for this years performances. Which means, you will all be divided into groups and you'll all work with them to perform a play. Well, actually, we already have the plots and stuff for the play. You just have to do the rest. Anyways, the groups will all perform at different occasions and the best groups will be chosen to perform for graduation day and the Last Show. Credits will be given to those who ace their roles and the best performance will get full extra credits." Everyone started talking at that.
"How is the groups divided?" someone said, everyone turned to him. The lecturer smiled.
"You want to choose or me?" then the headmistress entered.
"We'll do the choosing. And the groups will be mixed up with all the other seniors from different classes," she said,"The groups will be pasted on the Seniors Noticeboard tomorrow. You'll be given a place and your group representative will get more info after that. Is that clear?" everyone nodded.
"Good then. It's settled, dismiss!" the lecturer said.

Himchan went to the board the next day and stared at the paper.

Group 5.

Bang Yongguk, Rap (Leader)
Kim Himchan, Classical Music (Assistant)
Yoo Youngjae, Vocal
Jung Daehyun, Vocal
Moon Jongup, Dance
Choi Junhong, Rap Dance
Bang Yongnam, Music Production

"Whoa, hyung. We're in the same group."
"Mhmm... You're lucky you got your lover boy with you, Youngjae."
"Why would they put both the twins in the same group? They already see each other every day."
"Beats me, Dae."
"Hi Hyungs. Yeah! We're in the same group." he smiled.
"Hi Jongup." the trio said.
"I'm stuck with annoyingChan?"
"Shut up, Zelo."
"Oh wow! Yongguk hyung! Yes!" the other four rolled their eyes as they continue standing there, hogging the board.

Someone cleared their throat while they continue hogging it.

"Do you mind?" someone with husky voice said. The five of them jumped and turned, there stood the Bang twins. Himchan, DaeJae and Jongup moved to the side while, Zelo aegyoed to one of the twins.

They really do look the same.

"We're in the same group?" they looked at each other and shrugged.
"What's up, Leader?"
"Shut up." the said male smiled and Himchan knew that was Yongguk.

"Well, I guess we're all here." Youngjae said. The twins turned and realised it too.
"I'll go get the stuff, meet you guys at the canteen?" the boys nodded and went their ways.

Introduction came, characters and casting were given out and everyone discussed about the stuff they needed to do. And well, they clicked. Yongguk and Himchan were the leading roles, Daehyun and Youngjae in charge of music, Jongup the dance, Zelo everything else and Yongnam their manager. Yongnam doesn't need to do much cause well, he does the paper work.

It's usually only the six of them who practices, who goes out to go hunting for props or outfits and stuff like that. Zelo glued to Yongguk like velcro, Jongup was 4D, DaeJae couldn't keep their hands of each other and Himchan was being Himchan.

Few months down the road and they're performing. They did well. People liked them and they were awarded to move on to the next stage.

"Do you like me?" Himchan wide eyed and froze. He stopped what he was doing and he looked to his co-star.
"What?"
"Do you like me?"
"I... I don't know. Why would yo ask me that?"
"Himchan, do you like me or not?"
"No. No, I don't like you." Himchan said.

Something crashed behind and they turned. There stood another twin. Himchan blinked and scrunched his face.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Himchan asked, laughing awkwardly.

The real Yongguk appeared and grabbed his things. The pretend Yongguk made his leave.

"I told you." he said.
"Yongguk." Yongguk ignored him and made to the door when Himchan grabbed his hand,"Yongguk listen to me."

Yongguk shoved him away in anger and Himchan fell. The former male stomped off while Himchan grunted in pain.

Their conversation was left as it is and the Bang twins didn't speak to Himchan ever since then. The next day, they all gathered in their usual table in the canteen, Himchan and the twins pretending nothing happened.

"Let's go swimming to celebrate!" Zelo said.
"Okay! Where to?" Youngjae said.
"Lotte world! This saturday! We have tickets already!" Jongup answered.
"Everyone up for it?" Zelo asked.
"You already bought the tickets, genius. Obviously we all have to go." Himchan joked. The maknae pouted but smiled anyways.
"We're in!" Daehyun said. Himchan rolled his eyes.
"More like for a date.
"Hyungs! You coming?" Zelo asked the twins.
"Yeah, sure why not."
"Mhmm. Fine by me."

Saturday came and they all gathered outside Lotte World. Daehyun and Youngjae glued to each other, Zelo and Jongup already formed their partnership for all the rides, Yongguk came with Yongnam but the latter said he was going to be with his girlfriend hence the younger twin being paired with Himchan.

"This is like a triple date or something!" Jongup beamed.
"In that case, I want to change partners to be with Yongguk hyung." Zelo said. Jongup pouted and Himchan laughed, a little too awkwardly. They did change partners in the end and the 6 of them had fun at most of the rides.

After riding all the land rides, they finally went to the water rides and Himchan politely refused to ride any of the rides. Everyone were pretty shocked at first but Himchan shrugged it off. He waited for each of them and kept hold of all their things.

"I didn't know Himchan was that kind of guy!" Zelo said.
"Yeah, I thought he'll be the type who will play all out at any ride!" Daehyun said.
"Maybe something happened?" Jongup injected.
"I heard about it before actually." Youngjae said, the other four turned to him,"There was a pool party last time for a senior. The two of us were invited, everyone who attended would be thrown into the pool and stuff. Everyone was drenched and stuff but Himchan was the only one dry there. They tried to get him into the water but Himchan smiled, it pretty much looked like he wanted to but couldn't."
"Trauma?" Yongguk finally said.
"Yeah, maybe he has a trauma with water or something."

~

Himchan was standing at the end of the slide, there was a pool there. He watched as everyone took their turn to come down, all laughing when they reached the pool, all too happy and Himchan smiled. Yongguk came down first and that when Himchan noticed the hand struggling in the water. Someone screamed and the slide was put on hold. There was someone drowning, Himchan froze in his tracks, he could save her, it was just a dive and he could reach the bottom but...

Yongguk swam back to the lady in the pool and dragged her out before Himchan could even respond. Himchan stood frozen there in his tracks, everyone was staring at him. He clearly could save her but he didn't.

Yongguk glared at him.

"Why didn't you jump in and save her? It was just a jump away!" he shouted. Himchan finally snapped out of it upon hearing that,"I said why didn't you, Himchan?"

Himchan took a deep breath and walked away.

"Maybe he couldn't. Even the lifeguard was frozen." someone said. Yongguk glared at the person but she already walked away.

Yongguk followed him to the toilet. Himchan splashed his face with water and he was breathing quite heavily.

"Kim Himchan." Yongguk said.
"I HAVE A TRAUMA ALRIGHT? IT IS NOT LIKE I DIDN'T WANT TO SAVE HER! NOW SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE."

There was a pause.

"You have a trauma... Of water?"
"Yes."
"Why?" Himchan splashed his face with water again.
"It's..."

"Himchan Hyung?" Jongup said.
"Hyung?" Zelo said as well. They saw the two of them there and Yongguk walked out of the toilet.

"What happened?"
"It's... It's nothing."
"Hey, I heard that.."
"Yongguk rescued someone. Yeah. I know, I was there too." Himchan said,"Let's go."

They left after a few rides. Himchan walked to the bus stop, head looking down, he just couldn't stop thinking about the incident. He sighed and took out his phone and headphones only to see his phone battery is 10% left, he rolled his eyes and huffed. He should had brought his external battery.

Once the bus arrived, Himchan entered and took the last seat at the far end, a double seat and plopped himself there. He looked out the window and someone sat next to him.

"Hey." Himchan jumped a little and the other held back a laugh. Himchan looked at him and turned away.
"Go away." Himchan said.
"Can't. I'm in a bus." Yongguk retorted.
"Go sit with your brother."
"He's sitting with his girlfriend. Nevermind them, I'm here to sit with you."
"I don't need you to sit with me."
"You don't but I do." Himchan rolled his eyes.
"Says the person who shouted at me in public."
"Says the person who shouted at me in the toilet."
"Says the person who was all too willing to change partners.
"Says the person who didn't sit on water rides." Himchan paused but continued anyways.
"Says the person who shoved me away without listening to me."
"Says the person who rejected me."
"Says the person who can't shut up."
"Says the one who didn't save the girl." Yongguk wanted to show off but he said the wrong thing and Himchan shut his mouth, not even attempting to counter back,"I'm sorry."
"If you're done. Go away." Himchan replied. He sounded really cold and Yongguk knew he said the wrong thing.
"Himchan." Himchan ignored him,"Why do you have a trauma for water?"

Himchan grabbed his bag and wanted to move to another seat but Yongguk grabbed him and pulled him back to the seat, long legs blocking the entire way.

"Talk to me." Himchan continued to look out," We still have a long ride back to the dorms. Talk to me."

Yongguk seamed like he was still persistent on it and he wouldn't give up so Himchan decided to reply him.

"I almost drown and died okay?" Himchan said,"Now shut up and leave me alone."

Another pause.

"Was it when we were 8? At that park, we went to? With our class?" Himchan chose not to respond,"It is isn't it? Answer me, Himchan."

"Will you give me a break?" Himchan snapped,"First your shouting at me in public, then you're insulting me now you're fucking interrogating me with all your bullshit? Leave me alone!"
"Your mum called my mum." Himchan took in a deep breath.
"I don't care."
"How long did you know it was me?"
"How long did you know it was me?" Himchan retorted.
"I knew since day 1. During orientation, I saw the same boy with that same foxy eyes, he did lose a lot of weight and looked much more handsome but I knew it was him. The boy I saved."
"I knew it only before the casting."
"You mean you didn't know about me?"
"No."

"Well, when you face trauma the brain tends to choose to forget certain memories and incidents from the brain."
Himchan and Yongguk turned to the side and there sat Yongnam and his girlfriend.

"You knew too?"
"Not really. I noticed it after some time and when you couldn't keep your eyes off him." Himchan looked at Yongguk and raised an eyebrow.
"Couldn't keep your eyes off him?"
"So I was watching you. Big deal."
"You rejected me."
"You rejected me!"
"Yongguk. Yongnam was the one who asked me if I like him. I said no, why would I? I like Bang Yongguk not Bang Yongnam." the twins looked at him, so did the elder Bang's girlfriend.
"You knew the difference between them?"
"Yeah, Yongnam has dimples. Yongguk doesn't." Himchan said.
"You asked him if he likes you?" she said.
"I did it for Yongguk. I swear." the trio turned to Yongguk.
"You. Are an idiot. Bang Yongguk." Himchan said.
"So you're saying you knew the difference between us and when hyung asked you, you said no cause you like me instead. Is that it?"
"Yes, paboGuk."

Yongguk smiled and kissed him...

...which was rejected by Himchan.

"No. I'm not going to kiss you. You shouted at me in public!"
"I was angry!"
"No."

The day after that and the following days were filled with Yongguk trailing behind Himchan. Which then turned into Himchan trailing behind Yongguk and well, you get the picture.

They dated and well, everything turned the right way.

"Gukkie. No."
"Come on. It's just 2 feet."
"No. Bang Yongguk. No."
"Himchan, we talked about this."
"NO!" Himchan said again. Yongguk sighed.
"Hyung, help me here."
"Daehyun, Youngjae, Jongup come help!" the four of them all grabbed Himchan, Yongnam and the boys carried Himchan to the middle of the pool to where Yongguk was.
"NOOOOOOO!!" Himchan shrieked. Throwing a fit all the way,"Let me go!"
"As you wish, Himchan." they then let him go and made a run for it. He shrieked again and Yongguk laughed. Himchan glued himself to Yongguk, shrieking all the way and Yongguk had him in a bridal position.

"We're going to get into deeper water, alright?"
"NO! YONGGUK! NO!" he screamed. Yongguk walked towards the deeper end anyways, ignoring his now screaming boyfriend.

Finally after a painfully long 10 minutes, a screaming Himchan and Yongguk trying to calm him down, Yongguk stopped and they were in pretty deep water. Reaching their shoulders, Himchan hugged Yongguk like a Koala Bear, refusing to let go as if if he did he'll drown again.

"Himchan, try standing."
"No." Himchan's eyes were shut tight.
"I can swim, baby. I'll save you if something happens."
"I don't want something to happen!"
"Come on, I'm letting you go now." Himchan shrieked again and Yongguk sighed.
"Guys help me here."

Youngjae grinned to Daehyun and the duo jumped back into the pool. Dragging Yongguk to even deeper waters and Himchan screamed, choking at the water entering his mouth.

"Jae, it's deep enough." Yongguk warned. Daehyun looked at him and grinned, Yongguk sensed something and by the time he could say anything, the duo took Himchan's hands and peeled him off Yongguk to shallower waters.

And the male screamed.

Really really really loudly.

"Relax hyung!"
"Look! You're standing!" Youngjae said. Himchan stopped screaming.

Yongnam was actually happy they rented the entire swimming pool for the first time in his life. He would had thrown a fit to his brother but hey! His brother was right. Himchan is capable of making people go deaf.

"Now swim to Yongguk hyung." Daehyun said. Himchan glared at him. Jongup and Zelo jumped in too.
"Come on, hyung. I'll walk you there." Jongup said. Zelo laughed at that.
"You're too short to reach there Jongup!" Jongup splashed a huge wave towards Zelo and their water fight started. Himchan magically survived the water war and sticked to the sides and the four made the whole place wet, he moved slowly, hands holding the sides tightly then he felt a hand on his wrist. He turned and Yongguk was smiling at him. He held Yongguk's hand and the male slowly brought him to the middle of the pool.

Himchan rested his face on Yongguk and glued himself there. He liked it there, he could hear Yongguk's heartbeat and he definately wasn't complaining about the sexy chest of his boyfriend.

He smiled and Yongguk noticed it.

"Why are you smiling?"
"Nothing."
"Finally realising your boyfriend is sexy?" Himchan wide eyes and attempts to swim away but he epicly fails and glues himself back on Yongguk. The male laughs and Himchan orders him to the side.

"Hey," Yongnam said. The others looked at him,"LET'S ATTACK THEM INSTEAD!"
