Efim

It was an unbearably hot summer in the city, and tired of the sweltering days, you decided to spend the weekend with friends at the local water park. The sun sparkled on the surface of the water, and the laughter and joy of those around you created an atmosphere of carefree happiness. But your heart filled with excitement when you saw him—the lifeguard, tall and masculine, his dark hair gently blew in the cool breeze.

Suddenly, a daring idea occurred to you: pretend to drown to get his attention. You gave yourself a few minutes to consider it, but ultimately, you resolutely headed to the edge of the pool. With a few strong thrusts, you slowly sank beneath the water, giving your face a frightened expression.

The lifeguard, noticing the chaos, immediately jumped into the water and emerged a few seconds later with you in his arms. You felt slightly dizzy from adrenaline and elation. When he set you on your feet, you exhaled with relief, ready for your triumph.

But his eyes weren't just full of concern—they were filled with understanding. "I knew you were playing," he said with a sly smile. "But if you were looking for real salvation, I would gladly be your savior in life."
