Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies? Only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies? Only time

I take a jump into my swimming pool as my body is engulfed by the warm water. For a while I lie still then starting moving my hands and legs as I resurface and take a deep breath from my mouth and dive right again. My hands and legs move help me move forward till I reach the end.

I resurface as I push my hair out of my face and take a deep breath. Leaning against wall I realise that the song has ended so ask Rimi to change the CD to Frozen by Madonna. Atleast this song will last while I complete one lap.

As soon as the song starts I start swimming again in a leisure pace. Once I reach the end, I immediately take a deep breath and dive right in. When I felt like my limps can't take it anymore, I stopped as I leaned against the wall again with Frozen playing on repeat.

I hear my phone ringing from the chair as I look at it then ask Rimi to bring it. He checks it out and says, "it's Dali Purple Heart, video call."

I chuckle, whenever Dalhyun calls... it's always video call. Maybe my baby misses seeing my beautiful face.

"Answer it and hold it in front of me." I say as I turn keeping my chin on my palm as my front body presses against the wall. When Dalhyun comes into view I smile, "hey you,"

"Hi, what are you do—Wait, are you swimming?" He squints his eyes at the screen as I nod.

"Yep, it's been long since I've had a swim."

"Ah, but damn,that's some swimming pool."

"This is my private one. You should see the view from here." I say then ask Rimi to turn the camera and show him the view of setting sun behind the hills. "Isn't it pretty?"

"Wow, that's beautiful. By the way, who is holding your phone?"

"Rimi, my robotic friend." I smiled then ask to introduce himself to Dalhyun.

Rimi turns the camera and starts introducing himself in a sing song way. After he is done, he turns the camera around so that I can see Dalhyun. And I choke on air.

Because...

Someone is shirtless while cooking.

"Oh...my...god..." I mutter under my breath as I continue gaping at the muscular body of his. I gulped down my nervous and put on a brave face, "What—what are you making?"

"Ramen, it's been long since I had those." I nodded, "how long have you been swimming?"

"Quiet some while, my limps are finally flexible now."

"You're talking as if you don't run every morning."

"I didn't run during my exams." I shrugged.

"Fair enough, do one lap for me please." He requests as I smirk. If he can tease me, so can I.

I swam to one corner where the staircase is present as Rimi follows by my movements. I resurface from the water as run my fingers through my hair as I start climbing up the stairs while giving my hips an extra swing.

Rimi moves behind, so he can fit me in the frame. I saw that Dalhyun had stopped stirring his Ramen and was now, gaping at me with a jaw drop, hehehe.

I was wearing a white a high neck swimsuit and passed from my collarbone till my core but wasn't flashing my ass as it was cupping it perfectly. It even had a zipper but since I'm not interested in flashing my cleavage I had it zipped till my neck. The swimsuit was hugging my figure perfectly, making me proud of myself.

I smiled sweetly at him, as I moved to the centre of the side I was standing it. I stared ahead at by rectangular pool, looking at the long stretch I'm about to do.

Taking a deep breath, I dived it and immediately started flapping my arms and my legs, looking up occasionally to breath through my mouth.

As soon as I finished the lap, I resurfaced and took a deep breath but now my limps weren't paining anymore. "I'm a good swimmer too," I grinned at him.

He chuckled, "You are, you took approximately 2 minutes to complete that lap. And that's a good record I must say." I moved out of the water again as Rimi followed by my movements. I sat on the chair as I dried my skin then wrapped a towel around my hair, wore my bathroom and fluffy slippers.

I took my phone from Rimi, as I walked into my living room and stopped the music. "What time is it? Over there?"

"Hm, 9:40 pm." I nodded, "I must say, you even make a non revealing outfit hot,"

I giggled, "thank you and I must say that you're one specimen to look at when shirtless." He looked down as if he just realised that he is shirtless. He disappeared from the frame as I started laughing.

He is unbelievable.

When he reappeared in front of the frame wearing a beige T-shirt as I said, "And here I was wondering that you're teasing me with a body like that."

"Oh says the one, who just teased on purpose." I giggled again.

I glanced at the clock and said, "I should get going, I've a dinner to attend with my family."

"So early?"

"We eat early since mom goes to sleep early, moreover I need to take a shower."

He nodded, "fair enough, then bye. I'll talk with you later."

"Bye, Good night," I sent a flying kiss with a wink as he pretended that it directly hit his heart. I giggled and waved then cut the call.

How am I suppose to choose when he is so sweet and she is my mother.

I just hope that she understands this feeling of mine.
