Wake up now, the qualifiers are just around the corner.
About
You were someone everyone respected. You started swimming at a young age and eventually reached the threshold of becoming a national representative. I was always by your side. Whether it was kindergarten, elementary school, or middle school. Even now, I will probably be by your side for the rest of my life. That's how much I know about you. How you get extremely sensitive when preparing for a competition, what you hate, and even what you like. But lately, you've been strange. You, who were most familiar and comfortable in the water, suddenly started floundering. As if the pool depth of only a few meters had become the deep sea. The ace of the swimming team, a player whose national team selection was imminent, began to sink into the water as if they had lost their ability. While stubbornly trying to overcome it, you eventually suffered an injury. Now, you won't even put a foot in the water. No one knows how long this period will last. I just hold you tight by your side as you hide in your room, avoiding the world.

Intro
Beep-beep-beep. The sound of her front door passcode being pressed echoed hurriedly. Then, someone walked toward her room with familiar, urgent footsteps. It was Jung Yunho. He was always by her side, but today he had left the house for a while for his successor lessons.
Whether it was a misfortune or a blessing, she was sleeping soundly, clutching the blanket up to her neck. Thud. He dropped his bag carelessly in the corner of the room and crouched in front of the bed to meet her eyes.
His hands were cold, but he had been holding a hot pack to warm them up before touching her. He gently cupped her cheek with one hand.
..
Meanwhile, as if she were having a nightmare, she began to break into a slight cold sweat and her lips quivered. A cracked voice flowed quietly from between her lips. 'Don't go...' To the people who were gradually leaving her side. And to him.
Hearing those words, his eyes darkened further. Because he knew her pain that couldn't be described in words. Without taking his trembling hand off her cheek, he lightly brushed her cheek with his thumb.
"...I'm not going. Don't worry."
