Baby Hye Soo licked the spoon clean upon finishing her all-natural shave ice. The waitress said it was an iconic treat in Hawaii. Fair enough, it did taste amazing. Even little Jung Hyun can't help but gush at the sweet flavors exploding all at once! No wonder it was a popular dish!
Eun Young sipped from her warm cup of tea before turning to her children. With a gentle smile, she asked. "What do you guys want to do today? Do you want to go explore the island? Or perhaps... sail across the sea..."
Personally, Eun Young definitely wanted to try exploring the island first. During her last visit, they passed by a town wherein there were beautiful handcrafted goods and items. She was curious and she wanted to see some of the places the locals go to in their everyday lives. She also wanted to visit the museums, the national parks... if possible, she dreamed of watching live cultural performances too!
Baby Hye Soo and little Jung Hyun looked at each other. "Swimming!" They exclaimed in unison. Ever since they got to the resort, the two really wanted to try the huge pool. The glistening waters were already tempting enough and of course, a vacation is not a vacation without swimming!
"Can we try the pool first mommy? I saw some kids there the other day and they were playing! I even bought my water toys to share!" Little Jung Hyun instantly requested.
Eun Young couldn't help but let out a sigh. Her friendly son's at it again. He's off to making new friends--with foreigners at that! He knows a few English phrases here and there and surely, communicating won't be an issue with him. It's just that seeing him with his jolly and extrovert personality was really cute and charming!
"Alright but be careful when you play in the water, okay? Introduce yourself first and play fair." She reminded him. The young one nodded vigorously in response.
They first proceeded to their suite to change into their bathing suits. When they arrived, they were more amazed when they got to see their room. Eun Young booked a Royal Suite for their stay. It was the most expensive type of room in the resort. Everything in the suite was designed to cater a VIP and one of its distinguishing features is the magnificent view of the ocean! They could even watch the sun rise and set from their balcony!
Together, baby Hye Soo and little Jung Hyun exclaimed in awe. "Wow!" The kids ran to the balcony as soon they saw the blue wonder. The sky today was clear. The air was soothing and relaxing. Frankly, it was a nice day outside--definitely a good weather for a swim.
There was already quite a number of people when they got to the pool deck. As a VIP card holder, there was a designated lounge where they can rest too. They could've easily asked the management for a private pool of their own but since little Jung Hyun begged for them to stay at the public pool, Eun Young had no choice but to agree. That's how much her son wanted to make friends!
They settled at the private lounge. Seeing the other kids playing, little Jung Hyun grew more excited to join them! Perhaps if it weren't for his mother holding him back, he would've dashed there without hesitation... even without his protective gears!
"Don't run, okay? You might slip." Eun Young reminded her son as she assisted him in applying the sunblock. "Also, stay away from the pool for the adults. The water there's deep so make sure to stay in the children's area, understand?" Little Jung Hyun nodded his head.
When he was finally all set, he kissed his mother on the cheek. "Thank you, mommy! I'll be careful." He said before gathering his water toys and bringing it with him as hew walked towards the children's pool. Eun Young's heart warmed with her son's display of affection.
Next up, she helped baby Hye Soo too. Of course, she wouldn't let her youngest daughter out of her sight that's why they were going to stay at the nearby Jacuzzi they requested. "Can you put your hands up for me darling?" Eun Young asked her child. Baby Hye Soo giggled as she refused. She even held her hands at the back to let her mother know that she wasn't going to let her have it!
Eun Young chuckled. "Be a good girl now or else... the tickle monster's going to come!" She teasingly warned. When this didn't convince baby Hye Soo, Eun Young attacked as she tickled her like crazy! Her daughter erupted in laughter and soon enough, she finally got baby Hye Soo to raise her arms. Turns out the child has a ticklish spot there too!
Finally, Eun Young began applying sunblock on her own skin too. She wore a one piece bathing suit that beautifully hugged her gorgeous figure. Her skin was milky white, her hair was naturally long and wavy... almost everyone who glanced at her direction kept mistaking her for a celebrity or a model! She just finished applying the sunblock when all of a sudden, she noticed that the people were gathering at the eastern side of the big pool.
"Lee Hye Soo, stay right here, okay? Don't go anywhere and don't talk to strangers." Eun Young firmly warned her daughter before heading out to check the commotion.
For some reason, her heartbeat quickly picked up the pace. "The kid! Oh no!" Eun Young heard someone say. With this, she took longer strides until she got to the circle. She repeatedly prayed that it wasn't her son--she repeatedly prayed that it wasn't her dear little Jung Hyun.
"Call for first aid! Quick!" Someone shouted.
"Excuse me! I'm a doctor! Please let me through!" Eun Young exclaimed. People then began to step out of the way for her.
Relief flushed through her when she saw that it wasn't little Jung Hyun. Regardless, she was still determined to help out the unconscious young boy. A man was already there performing CPR when she arrived. He was drenched and breathless. Hence, Eun Young easily guessed that he was the one who rescued the child.
"Excuse me sir, allow me to do it." Eun Young presented.
The man, catching his breath, shortly turned to glance at her. He was the guy from earlier! "I am a doctor." Eun Young added to prove her credibility. She knelt on the ground and checked the child's vital signs. "Quick! We don't have much time!" She declared.
Finally choosing to trust her, the man stepped away and allowed Eun Young to perform CPR. "How long was it before the child was rescued?" Eun Young asked the public without stopping the chest compressions.
"About thirty seconds ago." The man replied.
Eun Young checked her wrist watch. After thirty chest compressions, she opened the child's airway before giving him two rescue breaths. She then proceeded to do the next cycle upon noticing that there was still no response. A few chest compressions later, the child finally coughed up water. Eun Young aided him with care as he slowly regained consciousness.
"Oh my baby! Josh, are you okay?" A woman suddenly came to hug the young boy. Apparently, she seemed to be his mother.
As if on cue, the management apologized for the incident and offered that they have the child further observed. The woman looked at Eun Young for confirmation. "Y-yes, he'll be okay. But please do take him to the hospital for further inspection." She affirmed.
