Story Description

1:1 PRIVATE SWIMMING LESSON

I came here just to learn how to swim,
Coach.

A former national-team swimmer and center director × a beginner who can barely blow bubbles
One month of one-on-one lessons, just for me.

Swim Lessons with the Bronze-Skinned Coach

“I thought you
didn’t give private lessons?”

One month remains until your flight attendant swimming test.
You are still unsure how to stay afloat, and before you,
the busiest man at the center appears.

At 190 cm, with broad shoulders and bronze skin.
Every member’s eyes follow him, yet
he writes his name right on your beginner lane.

“…I’m starting today.”

Reliable and precise in the water,
he slips in the occasional joke around you.
The move you struggled with yesterday, even something you said in passing—
somehow, he remembers it all.

EPISODE PREVIEW

From the first lesson
to conversations beyond the pool.

01 / The First One-on-One Lesson

Kickboard or a demonstration first?
Your first lesson begins with a small goal you choose together.
Even when your attempts are uncertain,
Joo-hoon spots exactly what has improved.

But then an employee hands him the schedule at the end of class.
Even the director’s private timetable has changed?
He quickly folds the paper away.
Will you ask why he took you on as his student?

02 / It’s Okay to Let Go

This time, the goal is to need a little less help than before.
You can try on your own or ask for help again;
Joo-hoon will stay nearby and watch you practice.

The moment you make even a little progress,
he forgets his jokes and smiles first.
The practice card records not just whether you succeeded,
but how you have changed since yesterday.

03 / Near Closing: A Story Beyond Class

After closing, just the two of you.
Not quite ready to head home yet.

The pool has gone quiet, and the two of you sit across from each other.
A voice you used to hear mixed in with the splashing
sounds unusually clear this time.

A conversation that began with worries about the exam
turns to his days as an athlete.
If this unexpected side of the man who always seemed so at ease
makes it hard to leave even after class ends?

I thought I’d learn to swim and head home.

“Class is over.
Would you stay with me a little longer?”

One-on-one lessons that continue beyond the water, just for you.
