It was a really huge scene; Blue falling into the pool unplanned. Everyone turned to see who had fallen inside the pool, making such a loud splash sound. That was when Blue surfaced, all wet.
His inky-black hair became scanty and slicked back. His eyelashes were now even more noticeable as the length seemed to have magically increased. And his top…
Blue had indeed been wearing a white shirt. But as he pulled himself up from the pool, it seemed like he was wearing a black bathing suit underneath.
Blue was livid. It was clear that he had been pushed into the pool on purpose. He wiped his face with his hand, still inside the pool, and looked above to check who it was.
He didn't even need to work hard because the culprit stepped forward on their own.
Winter was furious within his heart, but outwardly, he was wearing a deeply apologetic look on his face. He stepped towards the edge of the pool and put out his hand to help Blue up.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was walking. Please forgive me." Winter spoke with a sincere tone, hooking everyone's attention.
Now that it was clear that Winter was the one who 'accidentally' pushed Blue into the pool, he must be forgiven and could truly not be at 'fault'.
"You bastard, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Blue bit out, refusing to take Winter's hand.
But Winter persisted with his act as he said, "I did not. I swear with all of my heart. Let me help you out. The pool is cold. I should-"
"Shut the fuck up." Blue spoke with a displeased tone, slapped Winter's hand away, and got out of the pool by himself.
No one could take their eyes off Blue in the next moment. Though no vital part of his body was on for reveal, his figure could still be traced out as his shirt and shorts were sticking to his bathing suit.
A slim waist and a back that was naturally slightly arched. The water droplets on the tips of his hair, chin, hands, everywhere… It was majestic to look at.
Blue was, of course, oblivious to the fact that countless eyes were now openly lusting after him. This was because his full attention was currently pinned on Winter.
"I thought I told you to stay away from me." There was a look of annoyance on Blue's face as he spoke to Winter.
Winter made a pitiful expression and said, "I know. But I promise that I didn't do this on purpose. I'm really sorry. Please, forgive me just this once."
Winter was behaving so pitiful that everyone began to believe that Blue was overreacting. Winter had already apologized, what more did Blue want? It wasn't fair at all to their poor Sunshine Prince.
"I cannot believe this shit." Blue muttered to himself, sweeping his hair backwards.
That was when Adam arrived and covered him up with a towel, saying, "It's okay. Don't be upset. I have spare clothes. I can lend them to you."
There was a frown on Blue's face as he said, "Where are they?"
"My car."
The person who said this was not Adam, or even Oliver. It was fucking Winter Dumont!
Blue turned to stare at Winter with the word, 'really', stamped on his forehead. This was utterly ridiculous. Why did this Winter person always have to be involved in everything these days?
"I can help you. Let me get the clothes quickly and bring them over." Winter politely offered.
But Blue was quick to say, "No need. It's a pool party. What does it matter if I get wet?"
At that moment, everyone thought, 'If it doesn't matter, then why were you giving Winter shit for mistakenly pushing you into the pool?'
"It does. I thought you don't like it when your clothes stick to your body. Come on, don't be shy. Winter will get you the clothes, okay?" Adam pressed on.
Blue still had the mind to refuse when Winter said, "Would it be better if I handed you the keys to my car so you can get the clothes yourself? There's not really anything important inside, so you don't have to be worried."
At these words, countless jaws dropped to the floor. Maybe it was true that there wasn't anything important inside the car, but the car itself was indisputably one of the most important things in the world!
Everyone knew that Winter drove expensive cars. And the one that he drove to the party today was a model that was just released last year.
The car was expensive enough to buy every single person in the party five times, and the money left after buying them would still be more than anyone in attendance would ever get to see in their lifetime.
Yet, Winter was willing to freely give the keys of such a car to someone like Blue so he would get some irrelevant clothes. How crazy was that?! What if Blue ran away with the car after getting his hands on the key?!
Everyone began to look at Blue with newfound hatred. Blue's thoughts were surprisingly also in alignment with everyone else's.
Was Winter stupid or something? How could he be willing to do such a careless thing? Blue opened his mouth to refuse the offer, but Adam's voice sounded before his own.
"How about this? Why don't you two go down together to get the clothes? That'll be more feasible, won't it?" Adam suggested with a bright smile on his face.
"That works for me. What about you?" Winter looked at Blue.
Everyone was waiting for his own answer. If he said anything other than yes, Blue feared that he would get crucified. So he sucked in his annoyance and said, "Sure. Whatever."
His response brought about a bright smile on Winter's face.
Blue didn't know why Winter was so happy to help him, but he was irked by it. Blue excused himself from the party and went off with Winter.
This gave Winter the opportunity to stick close to Blue and discover something—
He couldn't sense Blue's pheromones.

(Mini theater):
Winter: Off to the car, soon to the bed (wink wink).
Blue: (stares with contempt).
