A friend saved by the sea
23. Aquaphobia?
Mount Tai rises with someone's power...
When I came to my senses, I saw Unhak instead of Yeoju.
김운학
Hey! Are you okay?
한태산
?
김운학
?
김운학
Wait, you said you came to school today!
김운학
But why are you jumping into the water? You still need to rest for a few more days!
한태산
...
한태산
Hey, thanks. But how did you know?
한태산
There was no one at the swimming pool...
The female lead's voice was heard from a distance.
김여주
Oh, Mount Tae!
한태산
(Looking at the female lead) ...?
김운학
(Whispering to Taesan) Hey, you teach him how to swim later.
김운학
As soon as he saw you fall, he turned pale and couldn't do anything.
한태산
...
한태산
I guess that’s because they’re probably very afraid of water...
김운학
...
김운학
Ah, no way, is it him?
김운학
The one you said saved me...
한태산
(Ignoring Unhak's words) Thank you so much. I thought I was going to die right then and there.
As Taesan left Unhak behind and approached Yeoju completely exhausted,
Yeoju approached faster and hugged Taesan tightly.
김여주
(Sobbing) M... I'm sorry. I found it first, but I couldn't do anything.
김여주
I should have saved him... I should have jumped into the water right away...
한태산
(Patting the female lead's back) You did well.
한태산
I'm fine, so don't cry. Okay?
한태산
But there was no one at the swimming pool, so how did you find me?
김여주
I ran into Kim Un-hak by chance in the hallway, and he asked me to come cheer him on for a bit since he was going swimming...
김여주
But you told me to go to the pool first... So I came... and I, I saw you jumping into the water...
한태산
Okay. Stop.
김여주
I'm really sorry...
한태산
...
Unhak, who had been watching from a distance, suddenly approached Yeoju and shouted.
김운학
Hey! Kim Yeo-ju!
김여주
?
김운학
You should have told me!
김여주
M, what do you mean?
김운학
Have you ever fallen into the sea?
김여주
Ah, during the school trip...
김운학
Then I wouldn't have told you to come cheer...
김운학
You must have been really scared looking at the water. I'm sorry.
한태산
...That doesn't matter, does it?
한태산
It doesn't touch directly.
한태산
Are you even afraid to look at water?
김여주
That's not scary.
김여주
But I didn't originally have a fear of water...
김여주
Ah, Taesan. Are you okay?
김여주
Since I've swum so much, I wonder if I won't develop a fear of water at all?
한태산
me?
한태산
Of course I'm fine. I've swum so much. Watch closely.
...However, Taesan trembled as soon as he put his feet in the water.
김운학
(Surprised) Huh?
김운학
hey...
한태산
