❝ the pool

@Go Sanggil Bou simply nodded along to whatever the man was saying, not really caring. When he closed his eyes, the smaller decided that this was a wasted effort. The man obviously wasn't paying any attention to him and Bou was not going to try to get something that wasn't there in the first place. And so, he stood up and carefully walked away. He was trying to keep a steady footing on the slippery floor when he caught sight of the little critter that had capsized him. Screaming bloody murder, Bou grabbed him and held him underwater for about two minutes. When he was satisfied with the amount of the boy's wriggling, he pulled him up again and let him breath. The poor kid was crying and sobbing already, definitely not used to being treated this way. But, no pity for the evil. And so he went under again, his second dunking accompanied by Bou's insane and gleeful laughter.

@Kazuhiko Saitou (Bou) (Semi-hiatus) Sanggil really didn't say anything towards the male just nodded before speaking his mind. "They really should make a kids only pool I think about eight people so far have gotten hurt because no one is watching their kids." He really wished he had a hair tie as his hair no matter how much he pushed it back fell into his eyes blocking what he could see. Sanggil let himself rest for a while longer blocking out the noise of the loud kids pretty successfully as he leaned back closing his eyes and breathing shallowly.

@Go Sanggil Without saying a word, Bou followed the man to the table and sat down opposite from him, simply staring in a slightly creepy way, before he forced a very quiet "thank you" out of him, the light blush on his cheeks revealing his embarrassment to plain sight. He was still high on adrenaline from drowning and slightly out of breath as he examined the man's sharp features.

@Kazuhiko Saitou (Bou) (Semi-hiatus) Pulling himself up with a grunt Sanggil stood pushing his hair out of his eyes and looking at the male in front of him. "Are you ok now?" he asked still coughing slightly as he clutched his stomach lightly glad that he wore a darker shirt today seeing as how the males white shirt turned see through. Sniffling he caught his breath walking over to one of the tables and sitting down on a chair.

@Go Sanggil Pouting, Bou did as told and clambered onto dry(-ish) land, sighing happily as he finally had something solid under him once more. His eyes immediately scanned the pool for his 'attacker', but he failed to identify the reckless boy. There were just too many kids running around. Waiting for his 'saviour' to exit the water as well, he grumbled and cursed quietly, pulling at the white fabric which was now see-through and clung to his slender frame.

@Kazuhiko Saitou (Bou) (Semi-hiatus) The grip of the male didn't really help him keep afloat much since it was basically dead weight and he only was holding on with one hand backwards when the male in his arms started fuming. "Woah woah calm down...Get out of the pool first and then do whatever it is your going to do." Sanggil quickly said feeling his arm getting more and more tired and making it bad for the both of them if he couldn't keep him self above water.

@Go Sanggil Even when they'd reached the edge of the pool, Bou refused to let go of the man and held on with an iron grip. "Me-?", he began his angry rant, before it was interrupted by a coughing fit. "Be more careful? IWASBEINGCAREFULANDTHENSOMELITTLEQUIRTI'MGOINGTORIPTOPIECESTHREWMEINTOTHEWATERANDWHATTHEISWRONGWITHTHISPLACE?!ISWEARI'MGOINGTOMASSACEREVERYTHINGTHAT'SDEARTOTHATSTUPIDBRAT!!!!!"

@Kazuhiko Saitou (Bou) (Semi-hiatus) Sanggil was dunked for a moment and was so surprised that he in water. He quickly needed air wrapping an arm around the male and letting his head pop back up coughing as he swam backwards to the edge. "You should be more careful" Sanggil said towards the male feeling his one arm it the side of the pool and letting him hold on.

@Go Sanggil The moment Bou realized there was a floating object aka human near him, he clung onto it desperately, coughing and spluttering and trying to breathe all at the same time. He wasn't sure whether he should curse, scream or cry because he felt like doing all of them together. For now, he settled on in air and coughing out water he'd breathed in.

@Kazuhiko Saitou (Bou) (Semi-hiatus) Kids ran around the pool playing around the edge and being a bit of a nuisance as jumped in around Sanggil but he wasn’t to bothered with it as long as none of them jumped in on top of him like had happened in the past. Kids around this area never seemed to get in trouble for what they did and because of that there had been more accidents than there should be for this pool alone Sanggil being one of those when a kid jumped onto him from the side of the pool causing his head to hit the side and almost knocking him out. The thing was that they were very rowdy with each other dunking people and splashing water everywhere which interrupted his relaxing day making him really think of just going home and sit in front of the TV. He was pulling himself out when he heard a few yells and more splashing figuring the kids were still at it when he looked over not exactly all that interested. It was true they were playing but over in the deeper end of the pool someone’s head was continuously popping up from the water line kind of like a cork. No one seemed to pay much attention and even he thought they could be messing around but seeing every other adult in the room catering to their kids and no one checking on the fake drowning person he thought he might as well see if they needed help if not then he would just get out of here. Sanggil jumped back into the pool ignoring the flop he did and the sting it made against his skin swimming under the water towards the male. Sanggil quickly realized that he wasn’t messing around struggling to get hold of him despite the kicking to the stomach Sanggil got as the male tried to get to the surface.

@Go Sanggil Bou was bored. Incredibly bored. No matter where he looked and what he did, all he could say, was that he felt bored. Boooooooooreeeeeeeeeeeeed. In a final attempt to stimulate his brain, he decided to go the pool. He honestly wasn't a good swimmer (at all), but the prospect of bare skin was always tempting. Now the reason why going to the pool, was such a drastic measure, was that there were so many /females/ there. And I think we all know how he reacts to that gender...

Nevertheless, Bou put on his swimming trunks, tied his hair up into a bun, grabbed a swim ring and entered the vicinity. And here's the second reason he rarely visited pools: if he wore female swimwear, he'd look like a pre-pubescent little girl, so he was forced to wear male swimwear. And obviously, he couldn't wear heals. Bou scowled a bit at his reflection in the water. He looked like he was cross-dressing, with his loose trunks and the over-sized white t-shirt.

Growing more and more unsure, on whether going to the pool had been such a great idea, Bou finally slipped into the swim ring and entered the water. Biiig mistake. As soon as he was floating around, some crazy kid decided to 'play' and overturned him. With a scream and lots of flailing, Bou was submerged in the water, planning on how he'd rip the stupid child apart. He'd drifted into the deep side of the pool and as he sunk deeper and deeper into the water, Bou started to wonder if the architect of the place had wanted people to drown here.

Too busy, cursing his 'attacker' it took him a moment to realize that he needed air. Struggling and kicking he managed to get closer and closer to oxygen. Bou resurfaced with water and tears streaming down his face, gasping for air. But where was the swim ring?! Unable to hold on to anything, Bou's head kept sinking back into the water, every time he managed to get himself to the surface.

@Kazuhiko Saitou (Bou) (Semi-hiatus) It was his first day off in two weeks of back to back cases. He really wondered when they would grow brains and stop getting into so much trouble it’s like they really hired stupid people. The last case he had the day before was because a guy got caught without a mask and Sanggil had to sit with the client for two hours trying to tell him how that was the worst way to get away with something. Everyone had seen him and there was no denying it was him but through a miracle Sanggil was able to give reasonable doubt that the male was who they were looking for and that was a job in and of itself. Trying to forget about work Sanggil made his way to the pool his shirt covering his torso as he dipped his feet in sighing happily at the heated water. Soon after he slipped down into the water hissing slightly as the chlorine agitated his hidden bruises and cuts. Sanggil got used to it though till it was a dull ache and he was able to swim around without any trouble thinking about what he would do for the rest of his day off.

@Won Jongjin Jihyun grinned. "You should~ I'll see you soon~" she said and waved back and went back to walk to the hotel instead of the locker room to go take a shower and change. She grabbed a cab because she didn't want to be caught in just her bathing suit, but as soon as she reached her suite, she got ready, biting her lip and judging what she should wear tonight.

[[ If you want, you can post at the café ^^" ]]

@Nam Jihyun Jongjin took the paper smiling a bit as he nodded "Well then I should go and get ready I wouldn't want to be to late." He let go of her hand starting to walk off toward the men's locker room but turned waving to her before he went around the corner. The first thing he did instead of changing was to call the shop and tell them that he was ill and unable to come in. The older couple bought it saying they would find someone to help out for the night and that left him as free as a bird quickly grabbing his things and heading of towards his apartment.

@Won Jongjin Jihyun pulled the long shirt she had brought on her, covering her bathing suit. "There's a cafe a few blocks away from the club.. We can meet there and then just go to the club together." She grabbed her bag as he pulled her inside, barely acknowledging the fact that he was holding her hand. Once she got inside, she shivered lightly. "It's gotten cold outside..." She murmured disappointedly before remembering what she needed to do. "Oh! Here, before I forget.." She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, writing down the address of the cafe along with her phone number and handed it to him. "If you tell me when you get there to the cafe, I can be there in about 10 minutes..." She told him, judging the distance mentally because she knew that the cafe was close to the hotel.

@Nam Jihyun He grabbed his shirt looking back over at Jihyun as he thought about her question "I guess that sounds like the right thing to do...where do you want to meet to get some food?" Jongjin would have to hurry but who really cared about the shop he would call in sick and they wouldn't even notice. Taking her hand he moved them in towards the inside so that they wouldn't start to freeze with the way the wind blew.

@Won Jongjin "Ugh, you're right," Jihyun said, realizing that she wasn't really mad at him. She felt the wind against the top half of her body that wasn't in the water and nodded. "I agree.." She murmured, getting up out of the pool and grabbing her towel, drying herself off. She looked at the time and noticed how it was getting late. "So I know it's not that late yet, but do you want to just get ready to go to the club and get something to eat beforehand?" She asked, tilting her head.

@Nam Jihyun As his head popped up from underwater he laughed smiling back at her "But its fun to scare people sometimes...plus you cant be THAT mad at me." Jongjin squeezed her quickly before letting her go swimming to the edge and pulling himself up. It was getting chiller as the sun moved behind the clouds and he looked up for a moment "Jihyun we might as well go inside it looks like the pool time is over.."

@Won Jongjin Seeing him slip underwater, Jihyun grew somewhat apprehensive and tried to spot him in the water. When she didn't, she just giggled softly and tried to get out of the water to make his plan backfire. Her own plan backfired though, when an arm s around her middle and she gasped softly and resisted the urge to turn around and confront the person because she knew it was Jongjin. "Yah..!" She exclaimed, her heart racing from the adrenaline of the scare and her fight or flight response. "It's not nice to scare people you know," she told him, a grin on her face but a stern tone to her voice.

@Nam Jihyun "Oh I know what you mean..." Before Jongjin could say anything else he laughed the water hitting him without any defense as he hopped in trying to splash Jihyun back. Thinking of a better idea he swam under the water quickly trying to wrap an arm around her middle and scare her.

@Won Jongjin Jihyun shrugged. "Maybe.. I don't really like to think about my hometown. Too many bad memories there," she said softly. She slipped back into the water and grinned. Without warning, she playfully splashed Jongjin with a giggle then swam back a few paces in case he decided to splash her back.

@Nam Jihyun Jongjin shrugged "Cats are cute why else...but puppies are ok." He smiled hearing her not real secret secrets "Oh well maybe one day you'll tell me where you're from...maybe its close to where I came from." He would keep in mind the liquor thing for when they headed to the nightclub.

@Won Jongjin Jihyun laughed and smiled. "Cats? Why cats? And I guess you wouldn't want to come over to my apartment," she giggled. "I have a puppy~" Then she thought for a moment. "Okay, I guess I can let you in on a small secret.. Maybe two," she said slyly. "I can hold my liquor really well and my hometown is pretty far away from here.." She let him know, nodding a little.

@Nam Jihyun He laughed smiling and nodding "Actually I do have a secret I can let you in on." Jongjin had a bunch of secrets just because he didn't like talking about himself to much so to him even dumb stuff ended up being 'secrets' that he could tell "One secret I have is that I love cats." He couldn't help but laugh knowing it was dumb but hey it was a secret that only one other person knew about.

@Won Jongjin Jihyun grinned again. "I do have secrets, but why would I tell them to someone I just met?" She asked with a pointed look but the grin she had showed that she didn't mean to sound rude or anything. "And I could ask you the same. Any secrets you want to tell me?" She swung her legs in the water, not really expecting him to tell her anything right now.

@Nam Jihyun "Secrets...are fun...plain and simple" he said hoisting himself out of the pool. Jongjin chuckled lightly "Any secrets you want to tell me?" he asked just for the fun of it even if he had an inkling he would get shot down.

@Won Jongjin "That is very true," Jihyun said with a small grin. She had half a mind to ask him what secrets he held, but knew that he probably wouldn't. She herself wouldn't tell him her secrets so why would he tell her? "And yet, secrets can be a burden..." She sighed then smirked. "But I admit, they do make life interesting~" she added with a small chuckle.

@Nam Jihyun "Everyone's life is filled with some secrets...if not...then they probably aren't that interesting anyway" Jongjin grinned swimming up to the side and resting his arms on the ledge near her. He didn't need to ask her what secrets she held knowing that anyone with secrets worth keeping well wouldn't tell at least not to strangers.

@Won Jongjin "They really should.." Jihyun said before grinning. She swam to the edge of the pool and hoisted herself up, sitting on the edge of the pool. She sat down and faced Jongjin, pulling her hair to the side and tilted her head slightly. "What about you? What's your life like? Full of secrets?" She asked, an almost knowing smirk on her face.

@Nam Jihyun He smiled looking over at her "Yeah having press and paparazzi following you around seems like a hassle they should go find something better to do." Jongjin thankfully had never had to experience that nor would he want some press people looking into his life he was happy being not easily noticeable and secretly wealthy.
