The Red Bracelet at the Bottom of the Pool
Opening scene
“Quit messing around.”
How it begins
Underwater, Hakyung closes her hand around a red bracelet—and the ladder above her vanishes. She surfaces and pounds on the wall. "Quit messing around." Taebin holds up a stopwatch instead of the bracelet: getting out is part of the test, too. She tries to climb out on her own, but her wet hands slip. When she asks Gaeun for the rescue gear, Taebin cuts in—ask, and she's disqualified. Dangling from his stopwatch cord is the key to the equipment locker. Hakyung glances toward the shallow side pool she marked during inspection, but the passage is roped off with buoys.
The rest, we'll show you once it's made.
Will Hakyung give up her test score to make it out alive?
Reactions help us decide what to make first. Production and release timing are not promised.
