Episode 42

This episode is part three of **"My Trip"**. Yohan saves Emma from drowning in a river. Both lost in the woods, they seek shelter from the rain in a small cavern.

## Synopsis

Yohan explains to Emma that when she fell in the river, he heard a loud splash and came to investigate. As he emphasizes that she is alive out of pure luck, Emma thanks him for saving her life. Deducing she is incapable of swimming, Yohan asks how she ended up in the water. Hesitantly, Emma admits that someone pushed her in. With her memory still fuzzy from being hit multiple times, she cannot recall discerning a face from the silhouette. Shocked by this revelation, Yohan realizes that if the perpetrator knows Emma is unable to swim, they already committed attempted homicide.

Deciding to focus on their present dilemma, Yohan asks Emma if she knows the way back to her hiking group. Emma explains that after stumbling during the hike and falling into the river, she has no idea where to go. Yohan sheepishly admits that he somehow ended up separated from his own hiking group and got lost before saving her. They decide to shout for help, hoping Yohan's group members are still somewhere in the vicinity and will hear them. After this does not work, Emma suggests to venture into the woods to search instead. Yohan explains that based on his vast experience of getting lost, he heavily advises they stay put in one place. They decide to send a smoke signal to alert their classmates of their location using gathered firewood. Emma watches curiously as Yohan rubs two small branches together to create friction and start a campfire. When Yohan asks why Emma never learned this method from school, Emma confesses that she was homeschooled as a child. Before Yohan can inquire any further, it suddenly begins to rain.

As the rain becomes a heavy downpour, Emma and Yohan duck into a nearby cavern for shelter. Yohan quickly removes his jacket, now soaking wet from the rain, and reassures Emma that they will survive somehow. Grateful for his presence, Emma watches as he wrings out the water from his clothes. They sit on the cavern floor, watching silently as the rain continues to fall outside their makeshift shelter. Suddenly, Yohan sneezes. Noticing that he is sitting quite a distance away, Emma shifts closer until their bodies are almost touching. Yohan jumps at the close proximity. Perplexed, Emma explains that they should combine their body heat to stay warm and avoid catching colds. Embarrassed, Yohan reminds Emma that he is man, alone with her in the secluded woods. Emma blushes and immediately apologizes, confessing she momentarily forgot because she does not find him intimidating. Seeing his offended expression, she quickly elaborates, explaining that many of the males she previously encountered bore ill intentions toward her. However, she regards Yohan as different from them, and feels safe around him. Yohan recalls Emma's use of self-defense and wryly thinks to himself that he values his own safety too much to want to try anything. With the misunderstanding cleared, Emma moves closer to him. As she draws closer, Yohan catches a glimpse of her white shirt, rendered see-through from the rain, and instinctively flings his jacket at her head. Desperate to patch up the sticky moment, Yohan claims he wishes for her to wear the jacket for warmth. Thanking him, Emma pulls the jacket off her head and suddenly recalls the last conversation they had on campus. Deciding this is the opportune moment, she asks Yohan why he conducted a background check on her.
