Boat.

Scuba Diving Instructor:
"Ok guys, we are going to put on our life jackets and scuba gear."

Everyone puts their equipment on.

Miyeong:
"Instructor, does the life jacket ACTUALLY work? I can't swim so..."

Kai laughs

Kai:
"Yeah, a wave almost drowned her yesterday."
Miyeong:
"That wasn't funny, I could have died."

Chanri laughs hysterically.
Miyeong looks at her seriously

Kai:
"Chanri, your a little too much right now."

Chanri stops laughing.

Chanri:
"Sorry."

Miyeong looks annoyed.

Miyeong:
"How is Kai friends with these kinds of people?"

She says under her breath
Kai hears and laughs.
He whispers in her ear.

Kai:
"Your a bad whisperer."
Miyeong:
"I- I wasn't trying to whisper."

Kai Pat's her in the back, then he walks away.

Scuba diving instructor:
"Ok kids! Let's dive in!"

Everyone gets in the water.
Miyeong struggles.

Kai:
"You look like a fish outside the water, except your actually inside the water."
Chanri:
"HA HA HA HA"
Hajin:
"What's your problem?
Jiwon:
"Do you have some sort of thing for bad jokes?"
Kai:
"Alright guys, it's not that important, let's have fun."

They all swim around and look below them.
The coral reef looked gorgeous.

Miyeong:
"Wah, look at how pretty the reef looks. I will definitely incorporate a coral reef inspired look in a design. Maybe I'll incorporate real seashells in it too."

Miyeong examines the reef.
She looks up. Chanri is pretending to drown in front of Kai.

Miyeong:
"Pfft, she's pretending to drown with a life jacket on. Poor Kai, he must be tired of her. She's such a pretty lady, why would she go this far for Kai? He'll probably break her heart. Poor girl."

Miyeong tries swimming but she doesn't travel an inch. She tries kicking her legs but nothing works.

Miyeong:
"I guess I'll never learn how to swim."

Hajin:
"Yah! Look over hear, there are alot of pretty sea creatures over here."

Miyeong tries to swim over to hajin but she can't.
Kai swims over to Miyeong.

Kai:
"You shouldn't be so stiff, relax your arms and your shouldn't move your arms up and down, try moving them in circular motions."

Miyeong tries, and she manages to swim to hajin.

Hajin:
"Wow look at you, your a professional swimmer."
Miyeong:
"Kai just taught me."

She turns around to thank Kai, but he got dragged away by chanri.

Miyeong:
"Oh well, I guess I can't thank him now. He has a annoying girl to take care of."

Miyeong and Hajin look at the pretty sea creatures

Miyeong suddenly remembers her mom.
Her mom suicide because of her husband mistreating her.
She visualises her mom jumping from a cliff and drowning.
She drowned in the ocean.
Miyeong starts to cry.

Miyeong:
"MOM! DON'T JUMP! MOM, STAY HERE."
Hajin:
"No no no, don't think about that, unnie, please don't remember that. It's ok."
Kai:
"Why is she crying?"
Jiwon:
"I don't know... Why is she suddenly crying?"
Miyeong:
"MOM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUMP, STAY THERE, I'LL PROTECT YOU."
Hajin:
"Miyeong unnie, don't imagine it, don't visualize it. It's not real."

Kai gets curious.

Kai:
"Hajin, why is she crying?"
Hajin:
"She wouldn't let me tell you even if you were her fiance,if she trusts you enough, she'll tell you. "

Hajin helps Miyeong calm down.

Miyeong:
"Thank you Hajin, your always there for me."
Hajin:
"I'm here for you, please don't think about it anymore.

Miyeong gets on the boat.
