♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who is the centre of attention at the pool. yes, despite the music, the pool floats, and the wave machine, all that the girls (and some of the guys) can focus on is kai as he sits atop the lifeguard chair. who can blame them? his tanned body, rippling muscles and sandy blond hair would make anyone turn their head. some of the ladies attempt small talk, craning their necks as they ask kai if their swimsuit looks nice. some of the guys flex their muscles as they ascend the diving board, flashing quick glances to make sure that he's looking. kai notices none of them. the only person he cares about is you. from his lifeguard seat, he gazes down with affection as you freestyle in the cerulean water.
♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who ‘accidentally’ forgets to put on sunscreen, just so that you can apply it for him. your hands knead the muscles in his back and arms as you sit behind him, one leg either side of his body. his warm skin is smooth against your hands, the cool cream melting into his olive skin. “thanks, y/n,” he sighs. to that, you say, “you really need to stop forgetting your sun screen, kai. i can't always be there to do it for you.” kai only laughs lightly in reply; he knows you like helping him, and that you'll always be there, no matter what you say.
♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who keeps a lookout for unwanted advances from other people. of course, he loves it when you make new friends. however, being the pretty girl you are, weirdos are always trying to take their chances and chat you up. but kai won't have any of it. “hey!” he shouts when he notices conversation is getting uncomfortable “leave my lady alone!” most of them scurry away immediately, but a few bold ones shout, “or what?”
“or i ban you from the pool.”
“oh, but it is.” kai sits back as they walk away, knowing that by the tone of his voice, he's ready to carry out what he said he would. he'll always have your back.
♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who waits until lockup when you have the pool to yourselves, swimming laps around the pool as the sun goes down and the stars come up. when you’re tired of swimming around, he’s gentle with you, holding your waist as you balance on his lap in the water. “do you think you can see any constellations up there, ma?” he smiles as you look up at the dark sky. “yeah,” you reply, your voice soft and low. “they always shine brighter when i’m with you.” “ditto,” he says, leaning in to kiss you.
♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who gives you more than enough money needed to buy yourself drinks and bingsu at the poolside bar. you (unsuccessfully) try to refuse his kindness. “really, kai, it’s okay,” you laugh. “i have my own money to buy food if i need it!” “just take it,” kai replies, folding your fingers over the notes he’s pressed into your palm. “It’s your money now.”
♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who pays for your dinner at the bar after work. no matter how much you order, no matter how much it costs, he’s standing with his card ready to cover the bill for you. “It’s fine, kai,” you say, embarrassed. “i can pay for my own jjajangmyeon.” “i know,” kai says back. “I just want to do it anyway.” when you really insist on paying for yourself, he lets you- but transfers the exact cost into your account, acting like he didn’t know where it came from.
♡𐙚ּ ֶָ֢.lifeguard!kai who is obsessed with the water- including the creatures that live in it. at every given opportunity, he’s telling you facts about fish, anemone, and sea mammals with a passion that only a genuine fan could have. in his apartment, he has pet fish that he takes care of and has names for. together, you stare at them in awe, their vivid colours bouncing off of your irises. it’s no wonder that kai is a lifeguard- if there’s a job to do with water, he’s on it.
