Tensegrity

Splash!

Someone jumped in. After a while, a hard arm touched Junkyung’s waist. The warm hands wrapped his back and his waist and his body rose upwards. The heavy wave clings to the body as it rises up until the end when the two reach the surface where light is.

Junkyung’s head was spinning. A hard floor was on his back. At the same time, someone grabbed Jun Kyung’s nose and opened his mouth to blow hot air. The wind that filled his mouth went into the airway and came up, tickling his throat followed by a strong pressure on his chest.

“Cough!”

The water that had gone inside came up. Junkyung coughed, squeezing tears and runny nose. A big hand patted his back.

“Are you okay?”

Contrary to his light touch, his voice was heavy enough to make him dizzy. No, it really make him dizzy. He closed his eyes tightly and opened them, wiping the moisture off his face with his languid fingertips. He recognized who the other person was. To be precise, he already knew it, but more like visually confirming it.

“…yes.” He answered, spitting out the remaining water.

“You don’t look good at all. I will call 911.”

“No. Don’t do that. I am really good.”Jun-kyung quickly shook his head. He felt faint, but he pretended not to be. Director Min, wet beyond Jun-kyung, pulled his tie loose. As he unbuttoned his shirt and vest one by one, his gaze turned to Jun-kyung.

After throwing up the water, he felt easy to breathe. His dizziness also subsided quickly, but his right thigh muscle spasms severely as his toes curled up.

“Ugh.”

“I should call 911.” Executive Director Min then looked for his cell phone. He saw the crumpled jacket that was lying nearby and threw his fierce gaze in all directions.Jun-kyung, who was grabbing his thigh in pain, also followed his gaze. The phone was on the bottom of the pool. It must have fallen by accident while taking off his jacket in a hurry.

“Shit!” Were you just swearing? No one but Managing Director Min?

Even while suffering muscle spasms, Jun-Kyung reflexively looked at Executive Director Min. The hand-made luxury suit clings to Min’s body perfectly when it gets wet. Executive Director Min took off his vest and suddenly carried Junkyung with one arm on the back and the other arm below the knee.

“Oh!”

His body was lifted. Even though he no longer played sports in an elite level, he still continue daily physical education at a professional level. As such, Jun-kyung was strong and weighed a lot. Despite the fact that he’s also quite tall among men, Executive Director Min shot up with Junkyung in his arm at once.

“Ah… … No, you don’t have to do this… Ugh!”

Junkyung couldn’t finish his words because of the stabbing pain. Executive Director Min quickly entered the room. Ignoring the water droplets on the sofa, he tried to ring the bell to alert the staff.

After hesitating for a while, he soon came to Jun-kyung’s side. Kneeling under the sofa, Director Min placed his hands on the muscles of the right thigh that Junkyung was holding tightly.

“What should I do?”

“Cramp……Grasp the sole of my foot with one hand and gently press the knee.”

A hand touched the soles of his feet. Executive Director Min, who is quick-witted, gently tilted his feet toward his body, grabbed his bent knees and gently pressed it down.

Meanwhile, Jun-kyung pressed and tapped his thigh. After three or four repetitions of soft pressure on his knees and soles, his muscle spasms began to dissipate. After a five-minute massage, the convulsions completely subsided.

“Whoa.” As the pain disappeared, he sighed automatically. After dealing with the crisis, he felt cold this time. Director Min, who sensed Jun-kyung’s condition, brought a bathrobe left in the swimming pool.

“Thank you.”

“Are you okay? Do I really not need to call a doctor?”

Putting on the bathrobe, Junkyung nodded his head.

“It’s normal to get cramps like this when you exercise.”

“…I thought you were not going to exercise.” Junkyung momentarily flinched. He couldn’t lift his gaze and only rubbed his limp thigh muscles.

“Why do you have a cramp?” It was a voice that’s completely devoid of emotion. It was clear he was angry.

“I didn’t do anything I wasn’t suppose to, I just swam a little.”

“How did you swim that you even got a cramp….. Junkyung, if I hadn’t arrived on time, you would have drowned in a pool that’s less than 2m deep. Do you know?”

“Thank you for saving me.”

“I am not asking you to thank me now.” An inexorable grunt continued. It was more frightening because he sound cold and calm.

“Ha, If something happens to you, I’ll…..”

The moment Junkyung heard those words, the headlines of tomorrow morning’s news flashed through his head.

[Male Omega Accident Death at Hotel S]

[The person staying together is the second son of group T]

Two people stay in a luxury room in a top-notch hotel, and one of them die in an accident. The deceased is a pregnant Omega and an ordinary bodyguard and the other person is the heir of a large conglomerate.

[Is it really an accident?]

[Possibility of killing?]

Already, the Taewon group suffered a major measles after the death of their eldest son. When he imagined what kind of novel the media covering a major event would make, Jun-kyung became dizzy.

This was a huge scandal at the macro level, and simultaneously, the lives of Junkyung’s parents and his brother would be ruined. Even Jun-kyung’s family didn’t know where and what he was doing right now. He fully understand the gravity of the situation.

“Sorry. I won’t let this happen again.”

“No, It was my mistake to send the room attendant out on the pretext of privacy. Or, I should have place the bodyguard first.”

“It’s not the Director’s fault. It’s just that I wasn’t aware of my body condition, and I was so absorbed in swimming. I apologize. I won’t do that again.”

Director Min, who had been silent, let out a soft sigh. In a silence filled with reproach, he took off his wet clothes one by one. The black boxer, not much different from Junkyung’s swimsuit, was attached to Min’s lower body as if it was painted over his naked body.

Some people say that they can’t judge the inside by merely looking at it from the outside, but after all, this is a size suitable for the giant. Executive Director Min did not betray the expectations of others.

“Can you move?” Executive Director Min asked while wearing only his underwear. Judging from the way his arms were facing this way, he was ready to carry him like before when he said it was difficult to move. One time is enough. Besides, his naked service is even more of a bargain.

Instead of answering, Junkyung stood up and limped a little while he headed to the bathroom. Executive Director Min watched as Junkyung entered the bathroom and took off his bathrobe. Jun-kyung closed the door with an awkward greeting in his eyes.

He felt so embarrassed. It’s because he’s hurt that Director Min carry him like a princess.

Why did you get a cramp?

It was because I was swimming too much without warm-up.

In any case, it was an accident caused by his own stupidity.

“Damn.” The curse word came out of no where.  He felt so pathetic that he can’t even do a high kick.

He stood in the bathtub and turned on the hot water. Unlike swimming pool water, hot water flowed into the hole on the floor without any magnetic force.

He just got a cramp. His legs were immobile and he was so flustered that he had strange hallucinations. A disgustingly colored gray hand.

He feel like he could get rid of that disgustingly gray hand from his body by digging out his flesh.

“I have nothing to do with the accident. It’s not my fault.”

The lump was just an illusion. His fingertips only scratched the pitiful skin. He gathered the water flowing on his hand and make a fist and punch the bathroom tile.

Thud.

HIs hand was throbbing.

Thud. Thud. After two more blows in a row, Junkyung let out a breath that he didn’t even know he was holding back. Hot water flowed endlessly.

Knock. Knock.

“Mr. Jun-kyung?” Director Min called from outside.

“What’s the matter? Are you okay?”

“Oh, yeah. It’s not a big deal.”

“I heard a loud noise. I am coming in.” As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Executive Director Min, wearing a large bath towel around his waist, came in, dripping water. His hair, which was always neatly pulled back, was naturally turned over when he got wet in the pool water earlier. The wet bangs came down to his forehead. Seeing that he didn’t even flip his hair to the side, he seem to have come in a hurry while taking a shower.

The shower curtain was rolled up. The new swimsuit, worn only once, was thrown into the corner of the bathtub earlier. In other words, Jun-kyung was in the same state as he was immediately coming out of his mother’s belly.

The executive director scanned Junkyung from the top of his head to his calf. Junkyung felt strangely embarrassed even though it was just a simple act of checking the well-being of a person who had just been rescued from the brink of death.

“There are no injuries.”

“Then what was the sound just now?”

“Oh, I slipped while taking off my swimsuit and kicked the bathtub a bit.” Junkyung put on an act randomly.

“Because you had a cramp earlier?” Junkyung didn’t like to call 911, so he shook his head in a hurry.

“Don’t worry. I am okay.” Director Min’s sharp eyes looked over his body once more. Jun-kyung secretly turned his body to cover his face.

“Jun-kyung Ho, you are more clumsy than you look. More handful than expected.”

“I apologize, Director Min.”

“I told you to change your tone.”

Oh right. Jun-kyung squeezed his eyes shut and bit his lip. He nodded toward Executive Director Min.

“I’m sorry, Hyunseung Min.”
