《Weekend came.》

*Yn took another look in front of the mirror.*

Yn
(Is it really fine for me to go??)

*looks at the birthday gift*
(But I already prepared a gift)

*Yn 's door was knocked, and before long Kayla entered.*

Kayla:
Let's have breakfast, Yn Then we'll go

Yn : Go on ahead, I'll be there

*Kayla exited the room and Yn took a long sigh.*

Yn
(You can do this, Yn)
(You don't need to get into the water)
(You only need to get more connections, to stabilize your position)

*Yn took the gift and rushed to the dining room.*

《In the dining room.》

Yn
Taehyung?!

Tae : Good morning, Miss Yn

Yn : What are you doing here on weekends?

Yn*sits next to Tae*

Yn
*stares at Taehyung's style*

*Tae wore a printed white t-shirt, and a baseball cap Paired with jeans and white sneakers.*

Yn
(Where is he going dressed like that?)

Dad : Hana can't accompany you today
So I asked Taehyung to go with you

Yn : !!

Kayla :
Goodness Dad, don't worry, I'll be going with her

Yn
(Why did Dad ask Taehyung to come with me?)
(Even though I'm just going with Kayla)

Kayla :
Taehyung doesn't have to come

Kayla :
What would a lawyer do in my friend's little sister's birthday party?

Rachel :
Who knows she'd cause problems there?
Or Unable to communicate with Japanese partners, perhaps?

Yn :
At least I don't go around slapping people

Rachel : !?

Mom Michelle*glances at Rachel*

Dad :
Let's just start eating
Because Yn, Kayla and Taehyung need to go soon

*They started having their breakfast.*

《At Atalantis Waterpark.》

*Yn finished changing clothes with Kayla.*

Kayla :
Yn, we have to meet the birthday girl first

Yn :
Let's go, Taehyung

Kayla :
He doesn't have to come
I need to officially introduce you to them

Yn*looks at Taehyung*
Taehyung *nods*

*Yn followed Kayla to the party hosts.*

Yn:
We have to go there?
To the stage above the pool of waves?

Kayla:Yeah

*Yn stared at the pool in front of the stage.*
Yn*starts shaking*

Yn:
Y-you should give the gift from my side too

Kayla:
Huh? Why?
Didn't you come here to get more connections?

Yn
(W-what if that incident happens again?)

《Flashback to when Yn was 7 years old.》

Yn*fell into a river*

Yn (HELP !!!)

??? :
*helps Yn*
(Are you alright?)

Yn : ... !!!

??? (...)
*patting her back while singing*

《End of Flashback.》

Kayla*holds hands*

Kayla :
Yn You don't have to worry Because you're with me

*Finally Yn followed Kayla to greet the birthday girl.*
*Not long after that, Kayla and Yn got off the stage.*
*Now they stood on the artificial shore of the wave pool.*

Kayla:
Good job Yn
They seem to like you

Yn:
(Thank goodness I managed to hide my fear)
(It was because I remembered that boy)

《The announcement that the wave pool will start echoed.》

Kayla :
Oh it's about to start! Let's get to the center!

Kayla*pulls Yn 's hand*

Yn :
I-I'll stay here

Kayla :
It's more fun on the center!
We won't feel the waves if we stay here!
Besides, my friends are there

Taehyung *takes Yn 's hand*

Kayla : !?

Yn: (Taehyung!)
Yn*looks at Tae*

Yn
(I don't want to go there Tae , I'm afraid)

Taehyung *stares at Yn *

Yn :
(People's loud voices)
(The sound of water)
(I can't...)

Taehyung: Are you alright?

Kayla : ?
Yn looks fine
That's a weird question

Kayla*pulls Yn *

Kayla:
Let's go, Yn I'll introduce you to my friends

Yn :
B-but Kayla, I can't

*Taehyung forcefully released Kayla's hand from Yn.*

Kayla :
What's with you! Taehyung

Taehyung*holds Yn 's hand tightly*

Yn : !!!

Tae : Stop it, Kayla
Yn has shown her discomfort
Why do you keep forcing her?

Kayla :
What did you call me?!
Kayla?!

Yn *glances at Taehyung*

*Kayla looked at Yn 's hand that was held by Taehyung *

Kayla:
Yn, I think your lawyer has crossed the line

*looks down at her hand in Taehyung's grip*

Yn : 😳 !!?

Taehyung:
Yn doesn't want to go with you to the center of the pool You can't force Yn
To do something she doesn't want

Kayla :
Yn, is he telling the truth?

Yn : I .... .
I'm more comfortable with Taehyung

Kayla : Huh !!?

Taehyung: !!!

Kayla :
Yn you came here Not for a date with Taehyung!
But to build networking with new people

Veronica : It's fine!

*Yn, Taehyung and Kayla stared at
Vero who walked closer.*

Veronica:
Who said Yn would be alone with him?

Veronica*puts her arm around Yn 's shoulder*

Yn : ?!!

Evan : !?

Veronica :
Yn got a new relation already!? Even with the heiress of Lee Group

Kayla :
You know each other?!

Yn : We-

Veronica:
There's nobody who doesn't know
Vero of the Lee Group and Yn of Kim Group
I was worried they won't recognize you instead

Kayla:
I don't think it's your place to worry about others You should worry about your plummeting stocks And making you come to a party In the last season's Gucci swimsuit huh ...

Yn
( Is wearing Last season clothes shameful?!)

Veronica : !!
At least I don't have to worry about my position Because I'm not the youngest child who barely got attention

Kayla : !!!

Yn
(What's with them?)

Taehyung*whispers to Yn *
Vero doesn't get along well with Kayla and Rachel since ages ago I have no idea why, though

Yn : !?
(But why did Vero want me to be in her circle?!)

Veronica :
Yn, as your bestie I'll support whatever makes you happy

Yn :
T-thanks

Kayla*leaves to the center of the pool*

*Vero let go of her arm, then stared at Yn and Taehyung *

Veronica:
I don't really understand why Kayla was so upset about you two being alone, but

Yn : But..?

Taehyung : ??

Veronica :
You owe me one

Yn : Owe you ?!

Veronica:
Have fun new couple!

*Taehyung blushing lil*

Yn : N-oo ah.. it's no..t- *shy and awkward *

Veronica don't let Yn complete her sentence and says :
If you need anything, me and the others are there

Veronica*points at a VIP gazebo*
Vero waved her hand, as she strolled away

*Leaving Yn who became quiet in confusion.*

Taehyung :
That... what did you mean by that?

Yn*looks at Tae*

Taehyung :
You're more comfortable with me?

Yn : huh ... !!
Yn suddenly splashed Taehyung's face with the pool water.

Tae : !!!

Yn:
Loosen up a bit, Taehyung !

Yn:
This is not the office!

Taehyung *smiles faintly*

Taehyung: This kid...

Yn : This kiiiid (says in teasing tone )

Yn
( did Taehyung... laughed...)

Taehyung:
How dare you make fun of someone older?

Yn :
Don't be cocky just because you're older!

Taehyung*splashes back*

Yn*dodges*

Yn : You missed

Taehyung:
You're always good at dodging from then and now

Yn:
Of course!
If I didn't, I could've washed my face with coffee latte then

Taehyung:
It was because of you that my face got sticky!

Yn:
When else could you get splashed with Avaltine ??

Taehyung:
That's even worse, come here!

Taehyung*chases after Yn *
*Yn unconsciously ran to the center of the pool.*

*The happy voices of people made Yn realize where she was.*

Yn
(Si-since when did I come here?!)

*High waves was about to come.*

Yn (again gets the flash back of when she was 7 )

Yn
(Help!)
(Help Me mother!)

*starts getting out of breath*

Yn
(Dad, help!)

*The waves got closer Yn froze in place.*

Yn*closing eyes*
Taehyung *hugs Yn *

*The waves had passed Yn and Taehyung But Yn was still closing her eyes with her whole body shaking.*

Taehyung:
Yn are you alright?!

Yn
(Taehyung!)
Yn*blank stare*

Taehyung: Are you okay?!
Why did you close your eyes?
You could've gotten swept away with the waves

Yn :
Taehyung, I remember....
What caused my phobia with pools

Tae : !?

*Taehyung took Yn to the VIP gazebo*

*At the VIP gazebo, Taehyung sat
next to Yn*

Taehyung:
You have phobia with pools?

Yn*nods*

Yn:
All these times I couldn't remember
What caused that phobia But what happened just now made me remember

That day... I almost died After the car hit the road divider and plunged into the lake

Mom got me out of the car from the window I tried to swim But I ran out of breath and...I don't remember anything after that I only remember I woke up
in a clinic And Mother was there

Tae :
So that's why your body wasn't found in the lake And you were declared missing for 18 years

《The song in the waterpark changed.》

Yn:
This song...
Is the song I heard with you in the car On my way to the mansion, right?

Taehyung: Hm...

Yn:
It sounds similar to the song that boy sang

Taehyung: That boy?

Yn:
When I was 7 years old I forced myself to go with the other kids to the river

There was a friend who pushed me to the river I fell into the river, but nobody helped me Because it was shallow But I was too scared to notice

Until a boy came to save And calmed me down by singing a song That was similar to this song

Taehyung *sings*

Yn : !!!

*Taehyung and Yn exchanged stares.*

Yn :
H-how did you know that song?

Taehyung:
So it was you
The kid who got laughed at by the other kids until you cried Because you were afraid of drowning in a river that was only your neck-level deep

Yn:
Taehyung you... were that boy?!

Tae :
Yes, I was that boy

Yn :
Oh wow!
That means you had saved me twice!
No! More than that!

Taehyung:
I can't believe
I had saved Kim group's daughter back then

*Taehyung and Yn laughed together.*

Yn:
Thanks,Taehyung

Yn:
Because you always appear at the right time When I need someone's help

Taehyung:
You're welcome, Yn

Tae *smiles*

Yn :
Keep looking out for me, okay?
Until I become stronger And nobody looks down on me anymore Because I want to be Dad's successor
