For some reason, when they arrived at the beach, Wayo got really scared. He remembered that he was afraid of the sea. He suggested going to the beach because of how much Phana has been talking about it.
"Yo, I thought you were over it?" Ming said, already knowing something was up and knowing what that something was. "You were the one who suggested it, after all."
"Because Pha has been wanting to come to the beach!" Wayo said.
"Someone care to explain?" Phana said.
"Wayo has a fear of the sea." Ming explained.
Phana couldn't help but laugh, earning a hit from Wayo.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'll stay right by your side the entire time." Phana reassured the boy.
The younger male blushed and buried his face in his hands.
"You guys can get out and set everything up while Ming and I look for a parking spot." Kit suggested.
Wayo and Phana nodded and got out the car before grabbing everything.
   They found a spot to place everything down, and Wayo's panic only grew.
   "Yo, don't worry, I'm always here. You'll be okay," Phana said. "I'll stay by your side whether you go in the water or not."
"T-thank you, Pha," Wayo said. "I think I'll try and go in the water."
"That's great! I'm so proud!" Phana replied.
"He's going to go in?" Kit asked while he and Ming walked over to the spot that Phana and Wayo picked.
"Yeah, I'll try," Wayo said.
Ming clapped and sat down. "Sun block anyone?" He offered as he pulled a bottle out of his bag.
   Wayo sat right next to him. They both spent ten minutes applying sunblock and then waited another ten minutes for it to fully absorb into their skin.
   "Let's go," Wayo said. "While I still have confidence."
Phana held Wayo's hand and helped him get up. They slowly walked closer and closer to the ocean, Phana telling him that it'd be okay.
   Eventually, Wayo found himself inside the water, swimming.
   "See! I told you that you could do it!" Phana said.
   "Phana, I'm swimming! Ming, look at me!" Wayo said and the three other boys clapped.
   In the middle of their clapping, Wayo screamer at the top of his lungs and began to go under water.
   Phana quickly swam to him and pulled him from under the water.
"Yo, calm down. Breathe. Inhale slowly, then exhale slowly." Phana said. "What happened?"
   Wayo did as told. "I-I dunno. Something touched me. It was brown and soggy. It didn't feel like a regular fish. THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE!"
   Phana looked underwater, burning his eyes, only to see that it was a piece of seaweed. Phana laughed and picked it up.
   "It's seaweed. It's okay." Phana said and hugged Wayo, trying not to laugh.
   "Thank you Phana. I love you." Wayo said.
