“I don’t swim.”
03. Coach
03. Director
Eunbi's room. (Evening)
I hear the front door creaking and someone entering.
정예린
Jeong Eun-bi!! Eun-bi!!
Yerin, who received a call late, runs into Eunbi's house and finds Eunbi sleeping.
정예린
Sigh... Hey Eunbi, Jeong Eunbi! Wake up...
정은비
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
정예린
…..
Eunbi, who keeps saying sorry while shedding tears, wondering if she is having a bad dream.
Yerin stared at Eunbi for a while, then covered her with a blanket, wiped her tears, and left the room.
Eunbi's House. Living Room (Night)
정은비
Haam... Huh? I turned on the light... Unnie?
정예린
Are you awake?
정은비
Why did my sister… …the homeroom teacher contact me?
정예린
What's your homeroom teacher? So, you contacted your teacher and your older sister came.
정은비
What about your practice, unnie..!
정예린
It's okay since I asked for permission. Come here and let's eat.
정은비
…huh
kitchen.
Eunbi sits down at the table, and Yerin brings out the rice and side dishes. Yerin doesn't ask any questions, which makes Eunbi feel strange.
정은비
… Did your homeroom teacher tell you everything?
정예린
He said that he heard about the swimming club and got into a fight with another classmate for no reason.
정은비
No... that's... that's...
정예린
Eunbi
정은비
uh?
정예린
Do you think your sister is ugly?
정은비
What are you talking about?
정예린
Is your sister unwilling? Is she unsure?
정은비
That's not it! I just...
정예린
Eunbi, it's okay for you to complain and say you're having a hard time whenever you're having a hard time.
정은비
….huh
정예린
You may not be able to do it right away, but if it's really hard and you feel like you can't do it, please tell me. It'll be harder for you if you don't tell me.
정은비
Okay, don't worry.
정예린
Okay, haha. Then let's eat now! The fried eggs are done too.
정은비
… Sister..?
정예린
huh?
정은비
So... this is...
정예린
Fried eggs!
정은비
yes?
정예린
Just eat it^^
정은비
yes…
정은비
‘From now on, I have to cook even if I die..’
And so the dinner ended...
living room.
정은비
Sister, can't you go to sleep?
정예린
Don't worry, I asked permission to sleep over.
정은비
Really? Huh… It’s been a while since I slept with my sister
정예린
good?
정은비
huh-!
정예린
Okay, then shall we go into the room and sleep?
정은비
huh..!
Eunbi and Yerin slept together for the first time in a long time. For Eunbi, who usually sleeps alone, it was the first night she felt fearless.
And the next day...
정예린
Don't just stay at home on the weekend! Exercise, go for a walk, okay?
정은비
Araseo...
정예린
Open your eyes and answer lol
정은비
Ugh... Sister, are you not late..?
정예린
Oh, I'm really going to be late... Sister, I'm going!
정은비
Ugh…
After seeing Yerin off, Eunbi slowly crawled back into bed. Eunbi didn't exercise.
정은비
You exercise for me-
Eunbi starts farming by playing games while lying down. The only character who is busy is farming, watering, and feeding the animals.
A few hours passed like that, and Eunbi stretched under the blanket, her body still heavy, but the stuffiness remained.
정은비
Sigh… I guess I should go out and run…
Eunbi, who had been lying down and thinking for about 30 minutes, decided to move her body for the first time in a while and got up.
School playground. Evening.
정은비
There's no one at school, so I guess I can run around.
After bending and stretching her body here and there, Eunbi started jogging lightly around the playground with her earphones in her ears.
Eunbi runs about 10 laps, then takes a break and sits down on one side of the playground to drink some water.
인물
? : Run 50 laps around the playground on a first-come, first-served basis!! Do it!!
??? : Do it!!!!
Several kids who appear to be part of a sports team start running around the field.
정은비
Wow, you must be a sports club member.. 50 laps is a light warm-up?
정은비
But what kind of club is it? There don't seem to be more than 20 people. Is it a soccer club?
Eunbi watched for a while, then got up and started running alongside the kids who were exercising.
I was just running next to him without thinking much about it...
황은비
What are you?
정은비
..? you..
황은비
Did you join the swimming club?
정은비
Don't be a jerk. I was just running because I was so tired. It has nothing to do with you.
Then, Eunbi suddenly started running at a faster pace and was running the last lap similarly to the swimmers who were more than 10 laps behind her.
Eunbi, who had been running without showing any signs of fatigue, ran around first and then went back to one side of the playground to sit down and drink some water.
황은비
Phew... ha... what is that...?
인물
Okay, the first 10 finish! After that, we'll run 5 more laps to finish, and the first 10 finishers can go sit down and rest!
인물
yes!!!!!
황은비
Hwa… water…
김예원
Okay, so you almost missed out on first place?
황은비
By the way, when did you get so fast at running?
김예원
I practiced hard, but what about him? He was really good at it.
황은비
Well, if I had been selected for swimming in elementary school, I would have had better stamina.
김예원
He was such a good swimmer, but why did he suddenly stop swimming?
황은비
Well? Was there something going on? Was there a serious injury or something like that?
김예원
Is that so..? But then shouldn't you at least study hard at school? You always sleep, and it seems like you don't have any friends.
황은비
Well, life will take care of itself, let's not worry about it.
김예원
I'm worried-
황은비
what-!
While Eunbi Hwang and Yewon are bickering, the coach approaches and asks about Eunbi.
인물
Who is he?
황은비
Who is it?
인물
The kid who was running next to you ran later than you, but he came in at a similar time?
김예원
Ah, that's him, the one the principal told me to bring.
인물
Oh, you fought? But isn't that guy on the swim team's roster?
황은비
Huh??? That girl grabbed me by the collar and swore at me?? Wow, that's real!!
김예원
Hey, that's not it. Eunbi suddenly left work early on Friday without saying a word, so I had no choice but to put Rain in the swim team.
황은비
Oh, so now I have to see him every day??
인물
Don't fight when you come in - bring all the kids running over there in.
황은비
Yeah-
Eunbi sat on the playground to catch her breath and then got up to go home.
Then someone calls Eunbi from behind...
황은비
hey!
정은비
..?
황은비
You're a swimmer
정은비
what?
황은비
You left work early on Friday and were put in a spare department, which is the swimming club.
정은비
……
황은비
Well, since we're in the same department, why don't you take good care of me?
정은비
‘Fuck… No.’
정은비
Hey, where is your manager or coach?
황은비
uh?
정은비
Miss, where is your director or coach?
황은비
Are you at the pool..?
김예원
Eunbi, should I take you there?
정은비
Take the lead quickly.
김예원
Huh? Huh.. Just follow me
Eunbi bit her lip and followed Yewon to the pool with a look of anxiety and anger on her face.
Summer and swimming pool.
Yewon brought Eunbi to see the director.
김예원
Director, this guy said he wanted to see you.
정은비
Oh, okay, please take me out of the swimming club.
인물
First, Yewon, go out.
김예원
yes..
Yewon is leaving.
정은비
I can't swim. If I swim, I'll die. So please kick me out of the swimming club.
인물
They said it was an election?
정은비
Those are all false rumors, so please remove them.
인물
Jeong Eun-bi, your voice hasn't changed at all.
정은비
Yes?? No, what are you talking about, first of all, tell the swimming club that you can't accept me... ... ??? Coach?
인물
Long time no see?
김소정
Our Eunbi, how have you been?
정은비
Coach Sojeong...? Why are you here...?
김소정
It's been a while since I was scouted as the summer high school swim team coach, about two years?
정은비
No, teacher, if I knew, I should have told you that I wasn't accepting it!! Or at least tell me now that I'm not accepting it.
김소정
I'm sorry, but I can't do that?
정은비
I don't like it!! You know everything, teacher, but how can I..!!!
김소정
I know everything. And it's not that you can't do it, it's that you're running away.
정은비
… I can’t do it.. I can’t swim..!!!
