Chapter 3
The teacher's eyes are twinkling and a mischievous smile is playing on his lips and Hyukjae would’ve started jumping around inside like usual if he wasn’t stuck in this situation. That damn Sungmin.
“I--- uhh-I,” he starts stammering, reaching up by reflex to scratch his forehead when he hears an excited squeak beside him.
“You won’t believe it! It’s--- mmph!” Sungmin’s excited rambling is silenced by a sudden rough clasp to the mouth, Hyukjae’s eyes practically shooting daggers-no, laser beams-into his. Hyukjae then turns around, laughing sheepishly, his hand still pressed murderously against his friend, who is helplessly trapped by the wall.
“Ah, it’s nothing,” he tries to convince the teacher, “we were just talking about-about-“ something pops into his mind, “about Sungmin’s crush.”
A muffled cry of denial escapes from behind him, and without turning around Hyukjae feels Sungmin furiously shaking his head. Hyukjae smirks to himself.
“Ah, so it’s Sungmin,” the teacher replies, bearing a mysterious smile, something behind that expression that Hyukjae can’t quite pinpoint. He walks to one of the cubicles, and Hyukjae automatically blinks and spins around in embarrassment to see a pair of eyes glaring at him. He mutters an incoherent apology to Sungmin before letting him go, the other wiping his face with his sleeve in disgust, probably due to Hyukjae’s hand sweat. Sungmin flails his arms like a madman and his mouth is opening and closing like a dying fish, and then Hyukjae’s being dragged again out of the restrooms and his friend gives him a hard swing to the stomach, scowling at Hyukjae doubling over both in laughter and in pain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyukjae munches silently on his chips while flipping through the channels on tv. The group had decided to stay in the hotel for the rest of the afternoon. The food from lunch plus the comfy bedsheets were getting to him and he feels himself drifting off until Sungmin comes up with the brilliant idea of going to the indoor swimming pool.
“Pleeeeeeeeeease, Hyuk?” He tugs on the arm that clings desperately onto the bedpost, “Ryeowook’s completely out and you’re the only one I have left.” Sungmin pokes the unmoving body of Ryewook on the bed.
“Then why don’t you join him, since you were the one who kept him awake on the bus the entire time,” Hyukjae mumbled from under the blankets.
“Noooo,” Sungmin whined, “I don’t want to.”
“Stop acting like a spoiled brat. Now shoo.”
Hyukjae waits for a response and is met with silence and he sighs into his pillow. A few minutes pass and he hears footsteps approaching. His blanket is suddenly tugged off of him and he yelps, hands grabbing for his cover of warmth and squinting in the bright light.
“Mr. Lee says you have to come with us or you’ll be sleeping on the floor,” Sungmin gloats, and it take all of Hyukjae’s will not to strangle his friend right then and there. He doesn’t even want to ask what story Sungmin conjured up to convince the teacher.
“Wait, “us”? Who have you forced into coming now?”
“Mr. Lee’s coming along to supervise us.” Sungmin wrinkled his nose slightly. “Ew who’s sock is this on the floor?”
“Mine, is he going to swim too?”
“Probably? He might as well anyway-why are you blushing?”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 seconds.
Hyukjae lets a few bubbles of air escape and steals a peek at Sungmin through the plastic of his goggles. The sight of his friend’s face scrunched up in concentration sends him roaring in laughter while erupting into a flurry of bubbles. Gasping and choking, Hyukjae kicks himself to the surface, trying to replace the water he’s breathing into his lungs with air.
Sungmin pops up a few seconds later. “I won!!” He shouts, after taking in a huge breath. “42 seconds! First time I win!”
Hyukjae is still wheezing to care about who wins the breath-holding competition. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Hyukjae paddles slowly to the edge of the pool and pulls himself to sit at the edge, waiting for the pain in his head to subside. Sungmin is still busy celebrating his victory when Hyukjae feels a hand on his shoulder.
“You alright?”
“No,” Hyukjae mumbles before turning to see Mr. Lee wearing a loose t-shirt along with a pair of swimming trunks.
“Don’t worry, it’ll fade away soon,” the warm hand gives him a small squeeze. Hyukjae can still feel the burning touch after the cold air hits his wet shoulder again.
“Mr. Lee, come swim with us!” Sungmin calls from the middle of the pool.
“It’s okay, you guys have fun, I’ll wait at the side.”
Sungmin pouts as the teacher walks to a bench placed along the wall and picks up a magazine. Hyukjae thinks he feels much better and slips back into the water, floating towards an expressionless Sungmin. He raises his eyebrows as his friend suddenly breaks into a smirk with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Beckoning Hyukjae with a finger, Sungmin props himself out of the pool without a sound and tiptoes towards the form behind the uplifted magazine.
“What are you-hey, HEY!”
The magazine is tossed to the side followed by Sungmin initiating a game of tug-of-war with Mr. Lee’s arm.
“Hyuk, a little help over here!” Sungmin shouts over the indignant cries, trying to push the man towards the pool. Hyukjae just stays and chuckles as his friend succeeds and the teacher falls in with a sloppy splash accompanied by a last yell swallowed by the water. Sungmin cheers while leaping into the pool himself.
The dark form in the water emerges and Mr. Lee shakes the strands of hair out of his face, droplets of water spraying around him. Glaring at Sungmin, he sends a huge splash of water at him, before paddling himself to the edge of the pool.
“No dinner for you two,” the teacher announces complacently.
“Why am I included?” Hyukjae asks while Sungmin yelps indignantly beside him.
“Because you didn’t stop him for me,” comes the reply and his friend rolls his eyes at the teacher, who lifts himself out of the pool with his arms. His t-shirt is sticking onto his torso, and Hyukjae doesn’t have time to drool when he spots a slight lift of the t-shirt by the water, revealing a small part of the teacher’s lower back. And a hideously ugly discolored scar.
Then it disappears, the man quickly conscious of the students staring and pulls his shirt down. “I’m going to go get a towel,” he says before he disappears with an assuring smile.
Sungmin turns to stare at Hyukjae in shock. “D-did-did you see-“
“Yeah. Yeah, I did.”
