After eating lunch, Iseul ran off to the water, immediately finding some arm candy to hook onto for the rest of the day.
Eui stayed on the sand for a while, curling up in the comfort of her beach towel that was placed underneath her. After a while, she got bored.
She decided to run off to some rocks she was eyeing from afar. No one seemed to go near the rocks. Eui guessed it was probably because it was much darker and unwelcoming on that side of the beach.
The rocks weren't high or dangerous as they seemed as Eui approached them. There was a huge boulder in front of a small boulder.
Eui settled for sitting on the small one. From afar, no one would be able to see her. Eui just stared at the ocean, remembering the horrible memories.
She didn't notice when she started crying. She assumed that it was because of the cold air beating her face.
"O-Oh." Eui wiped away the tears with the back of her hand.
Some of the tears fell into the shallow water by the rock.
"Why are you crying?"
Eui was startled. She hastily tried to wipe away the remaining tears. She turned around to answer the person but didn't find anyone there.
"H-Hello? Where are you?" Eui asked.
"I... I'm over here."
A man poked out from the other boulder in front of the boulder Eui was sitting on. She could only see the partial upper half of her body.
"I'm sorry you had to see me crying," Eui apologized.
"Why were you crying?" he asked.
"I'm not the biggest fan of the ocean. It...scares me. What's your name?" Eui asked, trying to steer away from the topic of her fear.
"My name's Jimin. What about you?" Jimin asked.
He did know her name though. He remembered multiple people calling out her name when she was pulled in by the tide.
"Eui."
