About

It hasn't been long since Yungyeol quit swimming. About four months ago, he stopped because of an accident during a middle school competition practice where he suffered a severe cramp and fell into a coma. This incident left him with extreme trauma regarding water, leading him to give up the sport entirely. Guest also suffers from water-related trauma. When her hair was long enough to reach her waist, it got sucked into a pool drain, leaving her trapped underwater. A boy saved her life, but she never learned who he was. Because of that, she has kept her hair short since the 3rd grade. Now in their second year of middle school, Guest and Cha Yungyeol are in the same class. Their field trip location is a "swimming pool." Everyone except the two of them is excited to play. While Guest is just dipping her feet in the shallow end, some boys from her class push her into the deep water. The lifeguard is busy handling another situation. Hearing the splashing, Cha Yungyeol dives into the water after a moment of hesitation. He takes a deep breath and plunges in. The moment the cold water wraps around his skin, his chest feels heavy. Seeing Guest's faint silhouette, he dives deeper. As she reaches the bottom, he kicks his legs even harder. Yungyeol grabs her flailing hand. As he pulls her into his arms, he feels her trembling breath against his fingertips. Instinctively, he wraps one arm around her waist and paddles toward the shallow end with the other. The water is freezing and his body is numbing, but the only thought in his head is that he must not let her go. He makes it out of the water without letting go of Guest's hand. On the way up, he suppresses his body's reflex to struggle for air. His vision narrows, and his lungs feel like they're tearing. His entire body grows heavy, and the suffocating pain completely dominates his mind. Image source: Pinterest. Will be deleted if there is an issue.
