54. Break In For Happiness

**** while it is not actually common for korean schools to have swimming pools (according to what I researched) I just really wanted to add this in. Imagine this school as the type of prep schools in movies, big pretty stone buildings, dormitories, a pool, gardens, martial arts arena, that type of thing.

"I can't believe we're doing this."

"Shh, someone will hear you."

"All of the teachers are in bed, don't worry."

"Besides, I heard that someone drugged the staff room snacks - everyone who ate will be passed out for hours at the least."

"1,000 won says it was YeongMi."

Get ready to receive 1,000 won, YeongMi thought, a smirk rising to her lips.

"Who else could it be. Actually, maybe Min Yoongi did it. You're on."

That garden gnome? Please. He would do it if he had to, but YeongMi had thought of it first.

YeongMi was kneeling on the floor as a crowd of students whispered behind her, checking their hair, staring at her, fiery excitement in their eyes at the realization that they were doing this.

The telltale click of the door unlocking alerted YeongMi, and she pocketed the screwdriver before placing the bobby pin back into her hair.

"Everyone shut up and listen," YeongMi gave her best smile as everyone looked over at her. "If any of you get caught, don't narc on me. The best way is for everyone to accuse a different person, that way they know you're spewing bullshit and leave you alone. Are we clear?"

There were collective nods; everyone obviously wanted her to finish so that they could do what they came here for.

"Most importantly, no fucking running. I don't want to have to perform any CPR, y'all are nasty. Now go and have fun," she stepped away, nudging the door with her foot so that it flew open.

The crowd swarmed in the doors, and YeongMi smiled watching them go in.

God, this is what she needed. A good old therapeutic break in to the school pool.

Breaking the rules was very therapeutic, she had found.

Bora and Soma passed her, but she just smirked at their dirty looks; they were glaring, but they were still here.

She grinned as Jimin and Yoongi stepped by her side.

"Pretty cool, even you have to admit," she grinned at Yoongi's lackluster shrug, seeing the way his lips curved up slightly. She held an arm out, dramatically bowing to them as they walked through the doors.

"You could get in a lot of trouble for this, are you sure you want to do it?"

YeongMi rolled her eyes at Namjoon. "I'd never expect those words coming from you. If you're too scared, then go ahead and leave."

Namjoon frowned before brushing past her.

She grinned, shaking her head as she finally entered the room, carefully closing the door behind her.

The lights had already been turned on, and she could see students already in the pool, laughing and splashing.

Someone had even brought beach balls, and they were being tossed around the room.

YeongMi grinned seeing the mass of people getting along so well. They looked young and happy, no trace of the ever present stress on their faces.

This really was therapeutic, for everyone. Not just her.

See, she wasn't always selfish.

Or rather, her selfish actions did benefit others sometimes.

"This rocks, this is awesome!"

She smiled at the excited younger students, nodding to them slightly as they jumped in the pool with collective squeals.

She wasn't sure if she wanted to sit down or get in the pool.

But the decision was made for her, as she felt a hand clamp on hers, tugging her towards the edge of the water.

She grinned at the younger girl, sighing softly. "I don't even want to know how the fuck you got here. Isn't it past your bedtime?"

"Well you know, me and your mom were just getting to bed, but then she wanted me to come see if you were still an asshole. So glad to see that you still are."

YeongMi just laughed, pushing Hyjoon into the water with a happy smile.

Carefully pulling off her shirt, she tossed it on a nearby chair before jumping into the pool herself.

When she surfaced, she saw Hyjoon standing over her shirt, giving her a challenging glare before dropping her soaked shirt on top of it.

YeongMi snorted, waiting for Hyjoon to get back in the water before walking towards her, laying her arms around her shoulders and pulling her legs up to wrap around her knees.

Hyjoon stumbled forward, half-heartedly arguing with YeongMi. "Get off of me, you fucking tree."

"Aw, but I thought you loved me, Hyjoon, my one true love."

"Not anymore, you've proven to be less than pleasing."

"That's not what your dad thinks-"

"You're so nasty, I don't even know why I talk to you."

"Because you're hopelessly in love with me, Hyjoon. It's okay, I understand I'm hot and you want a piece of me, and I'm charitable enough to share."

Taking pity on Hyjoon, YeongMi let go of her, standing back on her feet and swimming circles around the other girl.

It was a wonder that YeongMi could hear the distant footsteps through the loud yells of the students. Perhaps it was because she had trained herself to hear it, through years of sneaking around and breaking the rules. Or maybe it was just luck.

Nudging Hyjoon quickly, she pulled herself out of the pool and grabbed her shirt, tossing Hyjoon's to her.

"Someone's coming, everyone scatter!"

And the party was over too soon, as the students began running around, desperately trying to grab their stuff and get out before the presumed teacher came in.
