Story plot: As they're finally on a break, the staff rented a house where they can relax. The house itself is amazing, it has a small wellness centre, a huge kitchen, an even bigger living room and a swimming pool. The weather is amazing, but Jongho always refuses to go in the pool with them, always coming up with an excuse so he doesn't have to go in. Yunho decides to talk to his boyfriend about this and then figures out the real reason why Jongho never goes swimming with them.

They arrive to the house and they're all amazed to say the least.

"No way!! Guys we even have a pool!" Yunho shouts as he opens the doors to their backyard.

Shit.

Jongho follows him and laughs. "This place is insane! I can't believe we can actually stay here all together and just do absolutely nothing for a few days." "Alright let's first take our bags to our rooms and then jump into the pool." Seonghwa suggests. "But I want to go in right now!" Yunho pouts and Seonghwa just laughs. "Come." Yunho sighs and Jongho chuckles softly. "Are you laughing at me?" "Yes, now stop whining and let's unpack so you can get into the pool." Yunho pouts and follows his boyfriend up to their room.

As they're unpacking Yunho looks up. "Wait, so that I can get into the pool? What about you? Aren't you going to join us?" "No I promised Seonghwa to join him with grocery shopping." "Ah okay. I'll see you later then handsome." Jongho blushes slightly and pulls Yunho closer for a passionate kiss. "You're handsome." He whispers and Yunho smiles.

The both make their way downstairs, Yunho running towards the pool and Jongho walks over to Seonghwa who's admiring the kitchen. "Ready hyung? I'll join you with getting the groceries." "Oh but you can go swimming if you want to." "No no it's fine really. I kinda want to force Hongjoong into the pool this way, because I know he would have joined you." Seonghwa laughs. "That's a pretty good plan actually. Let's go then." Jongho smiles as nods as they say goodbye to the others.

Well that went better than expected. Just 3 more days left. I can easily get out of this, as long as I make sure I keep myself busy.

As they get back, everyone got out of the pool and is taking a shower so Jongho decides to help Seonghwa preparing dinner as well.

As he's stirring in the pan he feels two arms wrap around his waist causing an automatic smile to form on his lips. "Is my baby cooking?" "Mhm." Jongho smiles as he places the spoon aside and turns around. "Did you all have fun in the pool?" Jongho asks and Yunho's smile widens. "It was honestly so much fun! We did miss you and Seonghwa though. We even got Hongjoong to put his laptop aside to join us!" "I'm proud of you. I knew you guys could drag him away from that thing for a while." Yunho smiles and kisses Jongho's forehead. 

The next day they just want to jump in the pool again as soon as possible. It's not a thing they can usually do, so they want to enjoy it as much as they can.

Jongho is still on the couch, fully dressed as the others come downstairs, dressed in their swimsuits. Jongho looks up from his phone and laughs. "I guess you're all ready to jump back in?" "Yes come with us baby, the water is so nice since it's hot outside."

No.

"Well I was thinking, maybe I could snap some awesome pictures of you guys. I brought my camera and the scenery is so beautiful. I think I could really snap some great pictures and I'll edit them by the poolside." Yunho walks over to him planting a soft kiss on his lips. "You're beautiful and so are your ideas." Jongho chuckles. "That was a really cute compliment."

"I'll be right down, I'm just going to grab my camera. Don't mess up your hair!" Jongho shouts and they all laugh as they go separate ways.

Jongho enters the room he's sharing with his boyfriend and sighs as he grabs his camera.

I can't keep this up for two more days. I had an excuse for the first day and I have an excuse for today. But with what kind of excuse can I use tomorrow and the day after that? What did I get myself into? If I were honest from day one, this wouldn't have been a problem.

He takes a deep breath and walks downstairs again as the others are already relaxing in the pool. Jongho starts his mini photoshoot, snapping some beautiful pictures. He sits down with his laptop and starts going through the pictures.

He looks up as Yunho sits down beside him on the chair. "Are you sure you don't want to come in with us baby? You can edit them tonight since we won't be in the pool by then anyway." Jongho swallows as he looks at his boyfriend. "Yes I'm sure babe. I should edit them right now because if they don't work out I can retake them for you guys." "Ah yeah okay. Don't stare too much at the others though." "Oh I wouldn't dare. I got my eyes glued on your body." Jongho says as he bites down on his bottom lip, causing a not so subtle blush to appear on Yunho's face.

Jongho chuckles as Yunho quickly gets up and jumps back into the pool. "I love you!" Jongho shouts and Yunho smiles. "I love you too!"

Jongho wishes he could join them. They seem to be so carefree when they're in the pool. Yunho looks like an angel in the water. His blonde hair smoothly floating on the water as he swims on his back. Jongho snaps a few little close ups of his beautiful boyfriend and sighs. He looks at them on his laptop and smiles a little again. 

How did I get so lucky with you. I can't believe I'm able to call you mine my dear Yunho.

He knows he can't keep this secret from them much longer, but that doesn't make it easier to tell.

That night, Jongho barely got any sleep. His mind was firing questions at him. How are you going to tell them? What if they'll laugh at you? Maybe I should just go in and hope for the best. What if they think it's stupid? What will their reaction be? Maybe I should just tell Yunho instead of everyone, but what will he think?

As he drags himself downstairs for breakfast Yunho walks over to him wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. "You look exhausted." "I am." Jongho sighs as he snuggle into the comfort of his boyfriends arms. He stopped caring at this point, he's just too tired. "Why?" Yunho asks as he brushes his boyfriends cheek gently with his finger. Jongho shrugs, but he knows why he's tired.

"Do we need to talk?" Yunho asks and Jongho nods. Yunho quickly glances at the others and signs that they're going back upstairs for a minute. They walk upstairs and enter Jongho's room. He's about to jump straight back into his bed, but Yunho quickly grabs his wrist to pull him back.

"What do we need to talk about angel?" Jongho steps closer, burying his face in Yunho's chest. He doesn't want to talk. They're not suppose to know. They were never suppose to know.

"Jongho, I'm worried about you. But I can't help you or be there for you if you don't tell me what's wrong.." Yunho says as he softly brushes his boyfriends hair with his fingers. Jongho quickly mumbles something that is pretty much inaudible for anyone, including himself.

"What?" Jongho mumbles something again and Yunho cups Jongho's face in his hands. "Jongho baby, I would never judge you, get mad at you or anything for that matter. Please talk to me.." Jongho stares in his boyfriends eyes and he feels like he's about to cry. "I can't swim okay!" He yells as his emotions are taking over.

Yunho's face softens when Jongho speaks up. "Is that why you've been avoiding the pool?" Jongho nods as a single tears rolls down his cheek. "Oh baby.." Yunho wraps his boyfriend closer in his arms. "You could have just told me.. I wouldn't have been so pushy with wanting to swim with you." Jongho snuggles into Yunho's arms and stays quiet.

Yunho presses his lips softly on his head and whispers "What if you let us help you? The pool is waist deep. We can help you." Jongho looks up. "Isn't that really stupid? I'm like a baby who never learned how to swim." "It's not stupid at all. We'd love to help you so you can join us!" 

"Will you tell them? I swear I don't want to have to say it again.." "Of course I do. Come let's go downstairs so you can join us after breakfast." Jongho nods and quietly follows his boyfriend back downstairs. He's so glad that his boyfriend came up with such a supportive answer, but he's still scared what the others might think of this.

What if they think I'm stupid? Yunho still loves me. But what if the others laugh at me?

As they all settle down Yunho speaks up as he holds his boyfriend's hand under the table for support. "Jongho wants you guys to know something, but he doesn't want to say it so I'll do it for him. You know how he never joins us in the pool right? Well he doesn't want to because he never really learned how to swim."

The others look at Jongho who is staring at his plate to avoid any eye contact. "Why didn't you just tell us? We can help you!" Mingi says and Jongho carefully looks up. Everyone is looking at him with much more sympathy than he expected. "A- are you guys serious?" "Yes of course we are. Let's jump right in after breakfast!" Yeosang says and smiles.

Jongho smiles, not believing they're not laughing at him or anything. Instead, they're being all beyond supportive.

"I told you it would be okay angel." Yunho says causing a small blush to creep up on Jongho's face.
