I was sneaking out of the hotel room. Like hell was I going to shoot that shot! They all have gone mental. That's it, I was out. I did not want to be in this drama risking my life over that. So I was going out of here and planning to go M.I.A. Let them search for me, I don't care.

I had just reached the stairs when YuBin jumped out of nowhere in front of me. "I knew it," She hissed. She had come out of nowhere that I almost screamed in shock. "You scared me to death," I told her.

"Where are you going," She asked me, stepping closer.

"How did you know?" I asked. She was supposed to be asleep in her room.

"I can sniff things out of thin air if it's regarding you," she pressed her forefinger painfully to my chest and stepped closer. But I had no intentions t back off. "I am not going to listen to you this time," I told her "I am leaving. I am not shooting that shot."

"Hyun aa..." She called.

"Don't 'Hyun aa' me. I am not listening. I am not drowning in the sea." I told her.

"You committed to the drama." She told me.

"I committed to the drama after seeing the first few episode stories," I yelled at her. "No one told me there is a drowning scene. And they are not even doing that scene in a pool. It's the freaking sea. Can't they just use a body double?"

"You know they can't. They have to use close up shots." She reminded me. "But it will be okay. You are a great swimmer."

"But I have to pretend to drown, right? They are asking me to not swim inside the freaking real sea. What if I drown for real? And I have never swum in the sea." I looked out at the sea that I could see through the window of the hotel. It looked scary. Way too scary. I shook my head. "No way am I going to go in there."

YuBin looked at me with enough compassion as if she can understand why I am scared. "But you can't quit," She said in a soft voice. I knew that. If I do, they can sue us. That is a lot of money and my image will be ruined completely. Even I don't know what to do.

"Are you really that scared?" YuBin asked, softly. I nodded. I was. I was damn scared to go into that wide sea and pretend to drown.

"Come with me." She took hold of my hand. And there was something about her voice that made me feel a bit more confident. Coz I knew YuBin will take care of it. She always does. Whatever problem I have, I can just simply turn to YuBin and she will solve it. So I went along with her. She led me out to the beach. There was no one since it was still dawn and no lights had fallen around us. The seawater looked blue and dark. And scarier. And there was a lot of waves as well. We removed our shoes and let the waves touch our feet. YuBin looked far ahead at the horizon.

"Let's go in," YuBin said, simply.
