After a long period of experiencing the worst sexual encounter with her partner, Mirabel considers herself a masochist. Mirabel, an elementary school swimming instructor, begins teaching Juhwan, a top actor who secretly needs to learn swimming for a film shoot. For Mirabel, who believes that her life has ended and sees nothing at the age of 29, the world takes a 180-degree turn when Juhwan comes into her life.
Johwan found himself in an interview session during one of the shows, aware that many eyes would be watching.
"Dinner date with the hottest stars. Today is a special day at the Louvre with rare statues! I brought her here. What statue is this? Viewers, are you curious?" he continued, "Yes! It's Johwan!"
Johwan smiled, "Hello, I'm Johwan."
"I introduce Johwan as a statue. It's all for a reason; his nickname is Juhwan. Do you know why?"
"My nickname? No, I don't know."
"A walking piece. This is Geol Jo. You don't know?"
"Haha, tea girl? I don't know."
"Please show your statue face here and there. You've been inactive since My Love rolled off Blue Star. I want to know, what have you been doing during the break?"
"Um, nothing special. I did a lot of exercise during the Sunday broadcast break. I like outdoor activities. But I didn't have time during the active season."
"What outdoor sports? Tennis or golf?"
"Swimming. I go to rivers and seas when I'm abroad."
"Oh, isn't that what we do when swimming? Can I look forward to Johwan's appearance in swimwear? Please record a film of you as a swimmer."
"I hope I can. I don't know about anything else, but I'm confident in swimwear."
"Ahaha. I've been looking forward to it! Johwan is known for not using stand-ins, even when shooting action films. So, even if you make a swimming film, you'll do it without a stand-in, right? I think it would be very cool."
Johwan just smiled, "Of course, I've been a swimming fan since I was a child. If I get the chance, I'll try to show you a cool performance."
"Truly-I can already hear the charming voice of the last woman. There's a famous dialogue that spawned many parodies in 'PUG DAE.' Can I ask for it here?"
"Here? Can I use rough language?"
"Yes. We'll handle it perfectly!"
Johwan held his face, embarrassed, "I don't know, I can't."
Continuing, "Actually, even when recording that, Da is not used to vulgar words; it's very tiring, sorry."
"Oh god. Really? Johwan, how would you survive in this harsh world-you have to practice speaking roughly,"
Johwan laughed, "Haha. I know,"
After the interview session, back in Johwan's private room, he threw his jacket at the assistant in annoyance.
"Darn it! Hey, you rascal. Damn it, didn't you check your script properly?!"
Johwan sat on the sofa, holding his head in frustration. Johwan vented his frustration.
"Let's do our job properly. I don't pay you to play around and eat, you rascal!" Johwan scolded his assistant harshly.
Johwan continued his rant, "Who doesn't use a stand-in? Why, are you asking other questions?"
The assistant tried to speak, "I heard that Director Baek doesn't like stand-ins. So, the company asked the question, isn't that important? He said you're a good swimmer."
"By the way, you... What if it's found out? He won the casting, learned slowly, and tried to release a clip. Idiot! It's all because of you, who asked you to inquire about it?"
He no longer responded to Johwan's curses, "Fine. Take a break."
"Where are you going? Get rid of that garbage you threw!"
"Yes."
Johwan sighed in frustration, sitting on the bench and becoming very upset.
"Don't join the company and find a swimming instructor from your background. Without anyone knowing."
Elsewhere, Mirabel was tidying up some swimming equipment in the deserted swimming pool.
"Mr. Mirabel!"
A woman with a child by her side stopped Mirabel's activity.
"This is a new friend this month. But, he's afraid of water."
"Oh, I see."
Professionally, Mirabel did her job as a swimming coach. She was convincing the child at the pool's edge to take lessons on his first day.
"Are you afraid of water?"
The child nodded, prompting Mirabel to come up with an idea to instill confidence in the child.
"Then, would you hold onto my shoulders and go into the water? I'll hold you so you won't fall."
After successfully convincing the child, she began to enter the water with the child's hands tightly gripping her shoulders.
"You're not scared, right?"
"I don't know."
"Yes, of course. Come, let's dive with me. On the count of three, in and out. One, Two, Three!"
They dived together and resurfaced. Mirabel was satisfied because she successfully made her new member no longer afraid of water.
"Wow! Our friend is amazing; how is he not afraid of water? I'm impressed with you,"
After the new member received instructions on the first day, an old member approached Mirabel.
"Mirabel, are you doing it again today? Sorry if I keep asking this. By the way, thank you!"
"I will tidy up all of this and go home. So, all of you go home first,"
When the pool was empty, only Mirabel remained in the pool alone and continued swimming training. As time passed, two hours had elapsed. After being in the pool for quite some time, Mirabel made sure of the situation in the pool.
"No one's here, right?"
After thoroughly ensuring the surroundings of the pool, Mirabel went to the toilet to clean her body. Visible were some marks and redness on her back and buttocks.
She dried her hair with a towel while playing with her phone. Mirabel received a call from a foreign number, "Who?"
"Mirabel! Please save me!" Frustrated screams were heard from the other end of the phone.
Mirabel listened carefully to the frustration in the voice coming from the other end of the phone. "What happened?"
"I'm going to die because of this jerk!"
He continued, "The actor I'm responsible for. Johwan, who likes to swear."
"Oh, I see."
After cleaning her body, Mirabel left the pool with the phone still in her ear.
"If I didn't get older because I had to get a job. That boy is annoying. Honestly, I apologize for asking you this, but you're the only person I remember. Can you teach me to swim for half a year? Faye will be fine. She spends a lot of money."
"Please send the terms via SMS."
"Mirabel, thank you!"
He continued, "I know you're busy. But the condition is not bad, look at this."
Mirabel looked at the SMS sent by the caller. She looked at it with a worried face and spoke again on the phone.
"I will choose this."
"So fast."
"Thank you so much,"
"But why is there only an hourly rate and no starting time?"
