For the things you long for
Episode 1
It was one day eight years ago when I was seventeen.
Until then
My summer is not disgusting
Even the humid weather was a romantic youth.
Even if the rain pours down
The sound of raindrops bouncing off leaves
It tickled my ears and made me laugh
It was just the beginning of summer vacation and the late rainy season.
I love the smell of wet earth and grass, so when the rain stops, I often climb the mountain behind my neighborhood.
It was a small back mountain with no dense forest or dangerous paths.
Even if it rained, it wasn't that dangerous
Above all, there was a swimming pool for the school swimming club on the mountain behind.
The first time I discovered the swimming pool was the day before the school holidays.
Climbing the mountain to dip my feet in the stream water
I discovered the swimming pool I'd only heard about.
Because it was a school in a rural area that wasn't very special
As expected, the ivy vines were growing tall along the glass wall.
The building was broken and torn here and there, as if to prove its age.
When I raised my head, there was a small glass window about three or four heads higher than me.
Out of curiosity, I dragged the overturned flower pot and stepped on it.
The inside of the swimming pool was just as old.
But something is possessed
Whenever I climbed the mountain behind my house, I could never pass up the swimming pool.
Sometimes, if I was lucky, I could see the swimming team training.
That day, like any other day, I was climbing the mountain behind my house.
I ran to the pool to avoid the rain.
There was an eaves behind the pool to avoid the rain.
As luck would have it, the place had a large window, so I could see inside clearly.
Even the wrinkles on the faces of swimmers training in the pool are visible.
It was close to the court where the swimming team practiced.
After about ten minutes, the rain stopped.
After the rain came, the sky was blue as if shining
The light flows through the glass window and into the pool.
Finally, I shined a light on you
Cutting through the water that sparkles like a pearl in the light
The way you swim
It was as mystical as encountering a mermaid deep in the emerald sea.
It was finally the moment I admired you
As soon as summer vacation ends and the second semester begins
I impulsively applied to the swimming club.
It was too late to start exercising
I will never forget the amazingly beautiful sight I saw that day.
