Keep Me Afloat
Description
After getting kicked out of the Hong Kong national fencing team, Jackson Wang is sent to one of the best sports driven high school located in Seoul. For some reason, however, throughout all his harship, he finds comfort near the swimming pool where he often enounters Mark Tuan, the highly regarded swimming captain who hardly takes interest in other people's affairs, but for some reason finds himself curious about Jackson.
Im Jaebum, the fencing captain, faces the dilemma of having someone on his team who is better than him and worries if he could still be the star that he always dreamed of being. Throughout all this worry, he is glad to have his boyfriend Youngjae beside him, but the two are constantly on watch as they're scared of coming out due to the homophobic atmosphere the school contains. Youngjae, however, has his own secret that he is too scared for his significant other to find out.
**This fic is based on school in the states in that there's summer break for 3 months, holiday break in December, and a couple week breaks throughout the school year. Also, there are four grades in high school, freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior, unlike some countries where there's only three!
Foreword
“What’s going on over there?” Jinyoung asked as he walked closer to the school entrance.
Mark shrugged and looked as he saw a bright male face in the center of the sea of females. The male was an international student as he was obviously not Korean, most likely new to the school as well. He had a sharp jawline and smooth velvety skin. His brunette hair seemed to have received little attention, but the way it fell into place was charming. The student’s smiling face was quite attractive and brightened Mark’s mood instantly. For some reason he looked a tiny bit familiar to the Taiwanese boy, but not enough for Mark to really care and get into it. The new student seemed to like the attention he was getting from all the girls which made Mark chuckle as the boy seemed petty because of it.
“Pathetic,” he quietly dissed in English as he walked passed the crowd.
Jackson had no idea who said that, but heard it and turned to where he heard the voice immediately, but saw no one. He was disappointed and sighed.
