Hyun-Suk just raised his hand. She nodded and jumped into the pool, swimming gracefully without looking like a drowning duck.

Hyun-Suk laughed, but then he kissed me.

"I'm pretty sure you'd be the most graceful drowning duck ever."

"Silly!" I said, but I was serious.

"Come with me, I'll hold you, okay?"
