(A/N: "..." means that the character is speaking, '...' means the character's thought, it depends on whose point of view, but usually our Siena, the female protagonist though. This is some information to get the idea of who is speaking and who is thinking. Enjoy the chapter!)
It is a hot summer day. The sun shines brightly through the sky without any clouds scatter around.
The sound of laughing and chattering is heard through the sandy white beach coast. However, those surrounding sounds do not bother an individual who is laying on a wooden white chair.
The individual is a female around 20 years old, with black shoulder-length hair. She has a slim figure with a good proportion built but has a little bit of meat around the stomach part.
She seems to be around 160 cm tall but you cannot tell as she's sitting down with her head leaning to the back of the chair as she closes her eyes, seemingly ready to be asleep.
She has an earphone on which the music is still ongoing which can be seen from her phone's screen.
Her eyes are closed, her body relaxes, but in her mind, there seems to be chaos. The only thing that she keeps thinking right now is how she has failed another course in her university, her fatigue energy, her depression, and how she wants to disappear from this world and goes hiding somewhere that no one knows her and literally no one care about her business.
Then she feels a little windy which causes her to suddenly stir awake, she sits up straight and looks around in a daze. She lifts her arm and takes something inside the black backpack that is nearby her side.
It turns out to be a blue jacket with a hood.
Then, she lays back to the chair after covering her face with the hood and her upper body with the rest of the jacket.
As she is wearing simple blue jeans and a parcel pink shirt, she doesn't need to cover her lower body as the jeans are long enough to reach her ankle.
Right after finishing preparation, she immediately tries to sleep again. Only a few moments later, her name is called out from the distance and it seems to be louder as the sound draws near her.
An unknown person: "Siena! Wake up!"
Siena stirs a little bit but she doesn't respond to the call. The unknown person sees that she still doesn't answer him. That person walks to her side and instantly takes the jacket that covers her.
The unknown person: "Siena! Come on! Everybody is waiting for you!"
Siena, the person who is being awoken, feels a little irritated. She grumpily sits up and looks at the person who takes her away from her dream. It turns out to be her second big male cousin from her dad's side, brother Davin.
Siena: "Brother Vin! I cannot swim ha! Why do I need to go too?"
Brother Davin: "Even if you can't swim, just play at the safe side with children and look after them."
Siena: "So in the end, you guys just want someone to look after them."
Brother Davin: "Well it can be interpreted like that. It's been a long time since we got together. They want to have their photo taken ha."
Siena: "…"
So, it is actually about photos. Seems like she has no way to avoid it, so she could only go with them. Anyway, now that she thinks about it, it has been a long time since they can gather together like this.
Siena: "Let's go then!"
After Siena and her brother go to the east side of the coast as that place doesn't have many people around them, so their entire family can be at peace and have a good time.
Siena has already changed into her swimwear before laying down on the chair. Although she cannot swim, it doesn't mean she won't be playing in the water at all. That's why she gets changed first, and it appears that her decision is right as they don't have to wait to change clothes.
After they have taken a group photo, the adults go to the deeper water level and some of the children stay at the shore, and some go into water that has a depth of Siena's waist, and most of the people around her age and older goes a little far which the water level is around her neck.
She stays with the children at waist-deep sea water level and she also didn't wear any life-saving jacket as the water level is only at her waist.
She does some deep breathing in the water with her niece and nephew.
Suddenly, at the corner of her eyes, she saw her niece go farther away from her group into the danger area. By danger area, she means the area where the seawater level is around her neck or more.
Siena immediately walks toward her, but her speed is so slow as she is walking in the water. As she draws near her niece, Siena has seen her niece panic because her legs do not seem to touch the ground.
Siena finally reaches her although she doesn't think the situation is positive at all. because her legs also do not reach the bottom.
She holds on to her niece's pink flamingo pool float to stabilize her standing or rather her floating. Then she turns her head to look at her niece's crying face.
Siena: "It's okay, Julia! I'm here."
Siena tries to soothe her niece with a gentle voice to help her calm down.
Julia: "Aunt! I'm scared."
Siena: "It's okay. Don't worry! We will go to the shore."
After that, she shouted to her big male cousin who is the person that is nearest to her place.
Siena: "Brother David!"
Siena calls a few times to brother David but he seems to not hear her. She tries a few more times but he doesn't seem to hear her at all.
After 5 minutes of her calling to him goes by, he seems to realize that someone has called him. So, he looks around and finally finds Seina and Julia that are floating quite far away from the rest of the group.
Then, he suddenly realizes that the situation doesn't seem right because the place that they are in is quite deep, so he hurries to swim over to them.
It takes David quite a while to swim over to them. Seina after she has seen her big cousin come over, signs in relief. She quickly hands Julia to her brother as she tells him to pull the flamingo float as he swims and she will hold on to it at the end in order to ensure their niece slips from the float as it has a hole in the middle part of it.
After a few minutes of David dragging the float, a big wave is coming from behind them. The big wave immediately clashes with them, knocking the trio into the water.
After a while, David stabilizes himself and Julia, but he doesn't find his younger sister, Seina anywhere.
As for Seina, after the big wave knocks her into the ocean again, she gets choked by the ocean water. As she tries to stand on her feet, she suddenly feels pain, which then she realizes that it is leg cramped. She feels so much pain that she gives up trying to resurface to breathe.
Her body starts sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The pain, the choking from the seawater makes her head hurt and her body is kind of malfunctioning.
Brother David who is looking left and right while dragging the float in the front suddenly feels anxious.
Instantly, his heart is frightened by the disappearance of Siena. She disappears and no one is holding the float right now. He shouted her name loudly multiple times but no one answered him.
As he sees now, he is in a situation that he cannot leave behind his niece as she may drift away by the wave again, the only thing he can do right now is to get help from everyone.
So, he hurries to the shore and gets help from everyone. If there is still no way to find her with his family power, he needs to involve the police. David's swimming fast to the shore and shouting out the top of his lung that Seina has drowned.
And Seina right now is in a situation of drowning and her consciousness starts to faint. Her last thought is
'My favorite BL anime and manga haven't been released yet!'
(A/N: Just a reminder, this one is slow pace as I don't have much free time to write. And my other story, PLD, is now on hiatus as I don't have any inspiration to write it and I cannot think of the plot even though I have a draft for that. So I'm sorry for PLD fan. This one is not BL, it is BG's story. But may have BL element in it. These few chapters that I posted is kind of testing the water? Am I using it right? Just Enjoy! Love you all!)
