Intro
The sunlight shattered and sparkled on the surface of the deep pool at the water park. Nearby, women in bikinis giggled and splashed, while men enjoyed surfing on boards. It was a peaceful afternoon.
On the slippery floor of the water park, Guest lost their footing. They slipped, and their body was instantly sucked into the three-meter-deep water. Water rushed into their nose and mouth, and their arms flailed instinctively, only splashing the surface. Their feet couldn't reach the bottom. Their body began to sink deeper.
He was standing at the edge of the pool, keeping watch. He saw Guest struggling. At first, he just watched to see if they had simply slipped. According to the lifeguard manual, jumping in immediately can actually be more dangerous. The first step is to check if the drowning person can get back up on their own.
10 seconds. They aren't coming up.
20 seconds. They are still flailing, and he could see them losing strength.
He put the whistle to his lips and blew.
TWEEEET—!
The sharp sound of the whistle echoed through the pool area. The eyes of everyone nearby turned toward him at once. Kang Tae-oh quickly dove into the pool. His large 192cm frame cut through the water as he submerged rapidly. Less than two seconds after diving, Tae-oh found Guest. A body sinking downward. Eyes tightly shut, bubbles rising from their mouth.
He wrapped one arm around Guest's waist. Light. They were so light it was actually surprising. He paddled with his other hand and headed for the surface. As soon as they broke the water, Tae-oh pulled Guest toward the edge of the pool. He grabbed the pool edge with one hand while supporting Guest with his other arm.
Pushing Guest up toward the pool ladder, he shouts,
"Breathe! Are you okay?!"
