5 Isolated on the Island with You

"Help!.. Help!.. I'm... Drow.. Drownnn... Drowninnn.. I'm Drowninggg.. Help!.. Help!.." Prince shouted.

Nini noticed him and plunged into the sea. She helps Prince to get away from the water.

" What should I do?" Nini whispered

She is bemused

"Oh~ Check the breathing first."

Nini places her ear next to Prince's mouth.

"He's not breathing. What should I do? There's no pulse. Start CPR. I have to do chest compressions only." she said

Nini tries to keep calm while saving Prince.

" Since I've been trained in CPR, I should now open the airway by tilting his head back and lifting his chin." Nini said to herself.

Then she pinches Prince's nose closed. She takes a normal breath, covers Prince's mouth with her mouth to create an airtight seal, and then she gives 2 one-second breaths as she watches for Prince's chest to rise.

" Ough, ough, ough, ough " Prince

"Are you alright?" Nini asks

"I'm fine" Prince said

" I thought you're willing to die just to go back." Nini said

"Thank you huh!" Prince said

"You're welcome. I just cannot sit while someone dies at my sight. Also, I do not understand you. Look at these weird things you have made. What is the purpose of putting your scarves on the stick, and also, you have written S.O.S in the sand? You are weird. " Nini said

" I learned it once from the drama I have made. What if someone sees it? Someone who is on a helicopter or the search and rescue team. Since you are with a superstar, of course, they will make a way to find me." Prince said.

" I think you are carried away by the system. You have a great imagination. You should be a screenwriter and not an actor. " Nini said.

" Good suggestion, " Prince said.

The two of them kept silent and felt awkward.

"Actually, I'm hungry. Do you have extra foods there? " Prince said

Nini resists herself from laughing.

"Let's go to my place. Hehe" Nini said

"Come on" Prince said

"Woah! You have a lot of food. You're great" Prince said

"Don't talk too much. Just thank me. Okay?" Nini said

Nini and Prince eat together and make a fire together because it's getting dark. They watch the sunset together and talk.

"You're great! You have great survival skills. You also have things for survival. Maybe you always hike or camp? " Prince said.

"I actually don't. I never experienced hiking or camping." Nini said

"Then, why do you have great survival skills?" Prince asked

"Actually, my parents are kind of protective and solicitous. I just always follow what they say. Aside from academic classes and music and instruments classes, I also attend karate, boxing, kickboxing, survival courses like first aid, CPR, AED, Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and many others." Nini said.

" I don't understand BLS, ALS, but Amazing, but exhausting at the same time." Prince said.

" Indeed "Nini said

" What do you call this thing? " Prince asks.

" Mini water filtration system. " Nini said.

" What do you mean? " Prince said.

" In other words, it filters the water so that we can drink water from the sea. " Nini said.

" Amazing, " Prince said.

" You want to be a designer, right? "Prince asks

" Yes, but my parents don't want me. They want to send me abroad then inherit their company." Nini said.

" So I'm right, you're a heiress from a rich family. "Prince said

" You're not. Your wild guess is that I'm a fraud then a crazy fan. Right? " Nini said

" No " Prince said

" What about you? " Nini asks

" Me? What do you mean? " Prince asks

" I mean share about your life? " Nini said

" We are not the same. I'm not that casual. I don't want to tell others about my personal life. " Prince said

" Actually, sometimes it's more comfortable to tell strangers your personal thoughts and feelings." Nini said

" I don't think so. " Prince said

" I think so. If you share your real self with strangers, you wouldn't mind what they say or what they think of you, but if you share it with the person you really value, care, and are important to you and they can't understand you, you will mind, right? You will be upset." Nini said

" Makes sense. " Prince said

" You're a public figure, right? So you're used to being the center of attraction, and also your fans want to know you more. Right? " Nini said.

" Yes. They memorize my schedule, habits, and want more than myself, but I don't know if there's someone who genuinely wants to listen to my rants and my wants. A person who wants to listen not because I'm a superstar, not because I'm famous, not because I'm handsome. " Prince said.

" Me! I don't want to listen because you're a superstar or just because of another reason you said. Don't you think it's kinda boring waiting for the rescue team? '' Nini said.

Prince and Nini laughed.

" So you just want me to share my thoughts because you're bored? " Prince asks

" Don't you? " Nini said

" Okay. I'll tell you my story then listen. I think you're more suitable to be a paparazzi than a designer " Prince said.

" Haha. Okay" Nini said.

" I'm not born from a rich family like yours, but my family was always happy. Me, my parents were going back to my Mom's hometown that day. At that time I'm only 7 years old. But suddenly the bus we were riding was hit by a truck, then my parents died. They protect me until their last breath. After surviving in that accident I've been adopted by a celebrity agent. I'm very upset and have been a quiet and introverted kid. Until he referred me to his company and where I started my career, it's not easy to adjust to that kind of environment, but I kept going. 4 years ago that celebrity agent died due to a heart attack. That celebrity agent is gay, so since I'm a kid, he portrayed the role of being a Mama and a Papa. After he died, I kept working and working and working. As in nonstop. I want to be tired and just sleep. Because when I'm not, I will just keep thinking that every person that I love, every person that I care for, every person I value will die. Maybe you're right, I'm cursed so stay away from me."

"I'm just kidding earlier, don't take it seriously. And as if I'm one of your love ones, we aren't even close. Except, IF you fall on me at first sight? Then I'll stay away from you seriously Haha." Nini said

"You! and your imagination!" Prince said
