Crashing Into You 264 THIRD WHEEL

Since they arrived at Pulongsea, Lee Jin Ho haven't talked to Tan Ji Nan yet. Given that the whole island doesn't have a cellular signal and the casitas were far away from each other, it was really hard to communicated with each other. When he went to the restaurant with Lu Jiaosheng to have breakfast, he didn't catch her as well. They only saw Yan Mor Tee and Song Dei Si there. The pair looks like a honeymooners when they saw them. They caught them while they were feeding each other. 

"Aiyo, Is this the part two of your honeymoon guys?" Lu Jiaosheng asked the pair.

Song Dei Si and Yan Mor Tee looked at Lu Jiaosheng and smiled at him. 

" Are you jealous?" Yan Mor Tee asked, teasing him.

Lu Jiaosheng gave him a smirk. 

"Is it okay if we join your table, lovebirds?" Lu Jiaosheng asked.

Yan Mor Tee looked around. "Why joining our table when there are still lots of table that are still not occupied, and this around is only good for two." 

"Okay!" Lu Jiaosheng said as he looked around to pick the best table. 

"Where are the others?" Lee Jin Ho said as he looked around too. 

"Tan Ji Nan and Ho Min Lin may still be rolling between the sheets right now while--" Yan Mor Tee stopped when he got hit by the side of his torso by Song Dei Si. 

"Tan Ja Nin and her parents has just left maybe the restaurants, 10 minutes before you came in. I haven't caught Ho Min Lin's parents too.." Song Dei Si said.

" I see." Lee Jin Ho said with a bit of disappointment on his voice. So he was late by 10 minutes to see Tan Ja Nin. 

"So what are you planning to do after this?" Lu Jiaosheng asked the couple. 

"We might go back to our casita to continue rolling between the sheets" Yan Mor Tee answered. He was kicked by Song Dei Si's elbow on the side of his torso once again. 

" They have the best snorkeling site here and we can arrange for a boat to bring us there at the information center. Wanna try that?" Song Dei Si asked Lee Jin Ho and Lu Jiaosheng.

" I love to do that!" Lu Jiaosheng said excitedly. 

"How about the rest? Are we going to invite them?" Lee Jin Ho asked. 

"We can go to Ho Min Lin's casita after this to tell them about the plan. Maybe Tan Ji Nan could tell his family if they also want to join" Song Dei Si said. 

"Sounds good!" Lee Jin Ho asked. "So let's meet again at the beach area by 10AM?" He looked at his wristwatch and it was only 8AM.

"Sure." Song Dei Si answered. 

"Okay, will go the table next to you now. See you later." Lee Jin Ho said and was about to turn around when they heard an excited voice. 

"Hey, Song Dei Si!" a female voice from behind exclaimed. All of them looked at the at the owner of the voice. Ho Min Lin's smiling face greeted them. With her was Tan Ji Nan who was holding her hands. 

"Min Lin!" Song Dei Si said and gave her a big smile too. 

Tan Ji Nan looked at the three men and their smiles were all michievious. 

" So how's the newly engaged couple?" Yan Mor Tee asked Tan Ji Nan.

" Happy!" Tan Ji Nan answered.

"Did you get a sleep last night?" asked Lu Jiaosheng.

Ho Min Lin heard Lu Jiaosheng. " Of course, we had a good sleep last night. We were both tired so we easily dozed off." 

"We're planning to go snorkeling later after breakfast, do you still have energy to join us?" Lu Jiaosheng michieviously asked again. 

"We've slept early last night and we are fully recharged!" said Ho Min Lin.

"I see." Lu Jiaosheng said and looked at Tan Ji Nan. 

"Min Lin, where are your parents?" Song Dei Si asked. 

"They were at the beach right now, because mom was excited as a child to play with beach water."

"What do you think? Are they going to join us in the snorkeling activities later." asked Song Dei Si.

"Of course. Mom loves the water so she will definitely join us." 

"Great!" said Song Dei Si.

"Ji Nan, can you ask your parents and Ja Nin if they wanted to join us later?" Lee Jin Ho chimed in.

"Sure!" said Tan Ji Nan. "Are you done with your breakfast?" 

"Nope, we've just arrived a minutes earlier than you are." said Lee Jin Ho.

"I'm hungry" said Ho Min Lin and looked at Tan Ji Nan 'Let's get some breakfast now" 

Tan Ji Nan nodded.

"Dei Si, let's chat later." Ho Min Lin said.

"Uhm" 

.....

At exactly 10AM, they went to the beach area and they were picked up by the motor boat that will bring them to the snorkeling spot. It was a big motor boat good for 15 persons. All of them joined the activity and everyone was excited. The island was located in the middle of the Sulu Sea. The snorkeling site was 300 meters away from the main beach. The resort has provided a snorkeling guides which helped them explore the island. As soon as they reached the snorkeling site, Song Dei Si and Yan Mor Tee explored the marine life together. Tan Ja Nin and Ho Min Lin swam together too. The two old couples have started to explore the island on their own too. 

"Good thing, you did not bring your girlfriend here." said Lu Jiaosheng while he was preparing to jump into the water with Tan Ja Nin and Lee Jin Ho.

Lee Jin Ho frowned. Why did this rascal bring that subject again? 

"If you brought her here, Ja Nin and I will be left with no choice but made each other's company because we're the only single soul here." Lu Jioasheng answered as he sighed.

Lee Jin Ho looked at Tan Ja Nin and his lips curled up when he saw her bashful state. "I told you to find a girlfriend already so you won't be left being the third wheel everytime." He said to Lu Jiaosheng.

"Third wheel? Why? Are you and Ja Nin dating? Look, between the two of us here, me and Tan Ja Nin are more close with each other so for as long as Tan Ja Nin has no boyfriend, I can be her temporary date." Lu Jiaosheng said.

Lee Jin Ho frowned. "Do you think Tan Ja Nin would want you to be her temporary date?"

"Then let's ask her." Lu Jiaosheng said and looked at Tan Ja Nin.

Tan Ja Nin laughed. "I already have a boyfriend!" 

"Whoa! You gotta be kidding me!" Lu Jioasheng said like he never believed her at all. She was like Lee Jin Ho, claiming to have a girlfriend but until he still never introduced his girlfriend to them.

Tan Ja Nin smiled and did not answer him. Instead, she said. "Let's jump into the water now. I can't wait to see those friendly turtles." 

"Same here" Lu Jioasheng said as he jumped into the water. In a brief second, he has disappeared from their sight.

Tan Ja Nin was about to jump in too when she felt that someone has suddenly held her right hand. 

It was Lee Jin Ho's hand. Her face blushed again.

"Hey, let's go jump in now! The water is so cold...and" Lu Jiaosheng shouted when his head got out from the sea water but was surprised when he saw that Lee Jin Ho was holding Tan Ja Nin's hand. "Hey, why are you holding Tan Ja Nin's hand?" 

Both of them were caught off guard. They looked at each other. It was Lee Jin Ho who answered Lu Jiaosheng "She's quite afraid to jump in..." 

Lu Jiaosheng laughed and seems like he believed Lee Jin Ho's alibi. "C'mon Ja Nin, you were quite a swimmer when were in Highschool right? Let's go, the water is not that too deep" 

"It was Ho Min Lin who's a good swimmer when we were in Highschool and not me" Tan Ja Nin shouted.

"But you know how to swim right?" asked Lu Jiaosheng.

"Yeah... but I'm not that good" said Tan Ja Nin. 

Lee Jin Ho looked at Tan Ja Nin. Was she really not a good swimmer?

"Don't worry, Lee Jin Ho will be there for you. Just jump in!"said Lu Jiaosheng, giving Tan Ja Nin the encouragement that she thought she needs. 

"Uhm" Tan Ja Nin said and looked at Lee Jin Ho. 

"You ready?" Lee Jin Ho said. "When I said jump...jump, okay?"

"Uhm" said Tan Ja Nin as she nodded.

" Okay, 1, 2, 3, jump!" 

Both of them shouted as they jumped to the cold water. Under the clear blue water, Tan Ja Nin encircled her hands in Lee Jin Ho's neck because she was really got scared when her feet reached the cold water and she could not reach the sand yet. His hands went into her waist as he held her. Tan Ja Nin closed her eyes but suddenly opened it again because of that surprisingly underwater kissed.
