Junmyeon takes a deep breath and mentally preps himself for the dive in, but his legs still tremble like leaves and his heart still pounds relentlessly against his chest. He can’t swim, the extent of his skill in that area being doggy paddling pathetically for a few seconds before his limbs failed him.

So, was it a good idea to be jumping into the churning ocean waves without anything to keep him afloat? No, but he couldn’t find his floaties, and Chanyeol is in intermittent danger of drowning to death. Junmyeon may not know how to swim, but when Chanyeol’s life is on the line, he’ll defy the odds.

The large-eared man stops his poor acting for a second and glances up at the pair and glares at Jongin. The tan male just smirks and wraps his arms around Junmyeon’s waist. Chanyeol proceeds to pretend to drown once again.

“Ch-chanyeol is in trouble, and I’m
