As I was about to change into my swimsuit, I stopped moving because of the intense gaze I felt from the side.

It wasn’t them, because both Shine and Rain were changing their clothes.

When I turned my head to the side at the burdensome gaze, Appleton was holding the camera tightly in his hand, his eyes shining.

An expression that has become familiar by now.

At the look in her eyes that seemed very eager to take a picture, I said.

“Excuse me, are you trying to take a picture?”

“Ah-! No. That’s not it…”

Appleton looked very embarrassed by my words and hid his camera behind his back.

Even though we were friends, I was a little reluctant to have a photo taken of us changing clothes.

Finally, Appleton smiled awkwardly and put his camera down on the bench in the center of the room.

Feeling relieved at that sight, I slowly took off my clothes.

The hems of the cloth begin to fall one by one.

The pure white skin revealed itself once again.

I couldn’t help but blush as I threaded my fingers through the small cloth hanging around my waist.

I was just changing clothes normally, but I felt embarrassed because I thought of Appleton being next to me.

But there was no time to hesitate.

Shine and Rain have already started putting on their swimsuits.

I too moved quickly and put my hands down at my feet.

After confirming that the pure white piece of cloth had fallen onto my clothes through the tip of my slightly raised foot, I immediately put on my swimsuit.

The fit is not much different from what I felt when I was trying out the swimming club.

I slowly took a deep breath and pulled my buttocks a little.

The swimsuit that was worn deep inside comes out and the pretty figure comes back to life.

“Are you all wearing them?”

I spun around a bit in place at Appleton’s words.

The temperature of the cold floor touching the soles of your feet.

The softly falling hair tickles my back.

There was nothing strange.

“Yeah.”

Rain and Shine had also finished changing into their swimsuits.

“Uh, Uh. Then, can I take a picture? Uh, is that okay?”

Appleton asked me, his hands shaking.

Her eyes glow dangerously.

It was similar to the look in Shine’s eyes sometimes.

I nodded, feeling a little uneasy.

Appleton raised his camera after I gave him my permission.

A large, cold-lighted camera is pointed at me.

I felt a little embarrassed seeing myself reflected in the big lens.

Was the fit of the swimsuit an issue?

The swimsuit was so tight against my skin that I didn’t even feel like I was wearing it.

It felt like I was standing in front of the camera completely naked.

What are Rain and Shine thinking?

When I turned my gaze to the side, both of them were proudly sticking out their chests.

That means he didn’t shrink like me.

“Jeff, strike a cool pose!”

Appleton waved the camera at me and demanded.

Standing in front of the camera naked and striking various poses was not as easy as it sounds.

I lowered my hand and covered my exposed white thigh with my hand.

Because Appleton’s camera was pointed at my legs.

“Oh. I can’t see it like this… But that’s okay…”

Appleton’s mouth moved without stopping.

He constantly expressed his feelings while watching my actions and demanded the attitude he wanted.

“Ugh…”

Appleton, who had been taking pictures of me for a while, changed the direction of the camera.

This time it was Rain and Shine’s turn.

The two posed for the camera as they usually do.

I was speechless looking at these two so confident people.

“Hey. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

When I asked him the question, Rain tilted his head and asked me back.

“Why is Jeff shy?”

“That, that’s…”

I bit my lip.

It was a little difficult to explain everything in words.

“Jeff.”

“Yeah…”

“It’s common sense for friends to change clothes together.”

“That, that’s right.”

“And you could ask if your new clothes look good on you?”

“Uh, yeah…”

I nodded to Rain’s words.

She closed her eyes and raised her finger as if to impart some great enlightenment.

“Then there’s nothing to be ashamed of in the current situation, right?”

“But taking pictures is a little different.”

“You’re wrong, Jeff. It’s not embarrassing anyway, so what difference does taking a picture make?”

“Ha, but anyone can see Appleton’s picture.”

Rain shook his head at my words.

“Appleton, do you plan on showing the photos you took this time to other people?”

“No!”

Appleton shook his head urgently at Lane’s words.

“You heard me? So I’m saying you don’t have to be embarrassed.”

Is that so?

I tilted my head at Rain’s words.

When I thought about it, it seemed like a logical statement.

Perhaps because he is an adult, I couldn’t help but nod my head at his words that made me feel the experience of life.

I decided to take Lane at his word.

No shame.

There is nothing strange about this.

Thinking that way made me feel a lot better.

Shine also nodded as if agreeing with Rain’s thoughts.

Appleton, who had been taking pictures for a while, nodded as if satisfied and checked the pictures.

Most of the photos taken this time were sent to Shine and Rain’s phones.

I also received a few photos that I liked.

“This time I want to take a picture of you swimming!”

We left the locker room to attend to Appleton’s request.

The pool was still empty.

A quiet space without any people.

All that could be heard was the sound of footsteps clattering.

“Is it okay to use the pool when Teacher Sharona isn’t there?”

I hesitated in front of the large swimming pool.

But Shine and Rain didn’t seem to have any intention of waiting for Sharona.

“Jeff, let’s start warming up.”

I nodded to Shine’s words and distanced myself.

Appleton immediately raised his camera.

“Ready- Start~!”

Warm-up exercises started to the beat of Shine’s voice.

The three of us remembered every pose Sharona had ever shown us.

Continue the warm-up exercise with movements that are precise without a single error.

Stretch out your arms and legs and relax your body muscles.

The body that was moving naturally flinches for a moment.

Right hand stretched up toward the sky.

And the left hand that is supporting the waist.

But contrary to my thoughts, my body naturally assumed the next posture.

Turn your body to the right as far as possible.

Then, the exposed armpit is exposed to Appleton’s camera.

She didn’t miss the moment and moved her hands wildly.

“Yeah, that’s a little weird!”

The face turns red in an instant.

The white girl reflected in the water was cowering in embarrassment.

I squatted down with my hands under my armpits.

My face was so hot that I wanted to jump into the water right away.

“Jeff. I’m not done warming up yet.”

The warm-up was stopped because of me.

Shine looked at me, smiled slightly, and slowly approached me.

Her arms move gently and wrap around my neck.

Shine lowered her body, met my gaze, and spoke slowly.

“Are you that embarrassed to just do some warm-up exercises?”

“Uh, yeah…”

“Just exercise? Isn’t Jeff weird?”

“Me, am I weird?”

“Yeah. Everyone does that, right? It’s what Teacher Sharona told me. If Jeff’s saying so, then she told me the wrong thing?”

I shook my head slowly.

There was no way such a kind teacher would tell me what was wrong.

“Jeff. There’s nothing shameful about showing your armpits.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. Okay, look.”

Shine showed me her armpits.

I swallowed dryly as I looked at her armpit.

“Want to touch it?”

At Shine’s words that came out so lightly, I found myself reaching out my hand without realizing it.

My slowly outstretched fingertips touch white, smooth flesh.

I was startled by the sensation and pulled my hand away.

“My. Was I weird?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded at Shine’s words and got up from my seat.

I looked at Appleton and said.

“But, please don’t take too many pictures. It’s a little burdensome. ”

“Okay! Got it!”

The warm-up began again.

Start with a pose that shows the armpit that was stopped in the middle.

Finally, I was able to finish all the warm-up exercises.

As soon as the warm-up was over, Lane ran towards the pool.

Dadadat- The sound of small footsteps was heard, and Rain’s small body flew into the air.

Rain floating in the sky.

The golden hair spread out widely behind her back, looking like a chick spreading its wings to fly.

Rain, who had been floating in the air for a moment, immediately fell into the water.

with a splash-

As Rain entered the water, small water droplets scattered in all directions.

“Jeff. You didn’t forget the promise we made earlier, did you?”

“Ah. Yeah, I decided not to use that in the water.”

Shine, who heard my answer, smiled slightly and hugged my body gently.

For a moment, I was taken aback by her sudden actions.

She whispered softly in my ear.

“You’d better take a deep breath.”

Before I could even ask what that meant.

The body held in Shine’s arms begins to slowly tilt.

Our gaze turned to the sky, and Shine’s and my snow-white hair spread out wide, tangled together.

with a plop-

Gulp-

The bright lights shatter.

The light reflected off the water and scattered in all directions, making Shine and my hair shine white.

The hair spread out behind Shine’s back looked like wings.

The lukewarm temperature of the water envelops your entire body.

Between two ships that are pressed together tightly.

The temperature of Shine felt greater because of the water flowing through the gap.

Shine, who had entered the water, released me differently than before.

The moment I was released from her embrace, lukewarm water seeped into her empty space.

The water felt cold against my hot skin.

I reached out, feeling so sorry for the warmth disappearing.

Shine didn’t hold my hand.

She spread her white wings behind her and ascended to the surface of the water like an angel ascending to heaven.

I too followed her and popped my head into the water.

“Did you feel disappointed?”

As I popped my head out of the water, Shine smiled slightly and asked.

Unable to answer her question, I dove into the water again.

The hand that naturally rose was touching her lips.

I didn’t want to show her that I was sorry.

Lane, who jumped into the water first, began to show off his amazing swimming skills.

Was it because there was a camera?

She leaped out of the water like a dolphin.

Appleton was delighted to see Lane in such a state.
