In Jeff's past, before his regression, the following events would happen to Jess.
While Jess is swimming alone on the beach, she will be hit by a large wave.
It's not that Jess's life would be in danger. She would swallow a bit of sea water but it's not like she will get drown. However, Jess would be exposed to what Jeff calls a lucky pervert event as the top of her two-piece swimsuit will be taken by the perverted wave, exposing her naked C-cup size breasts to everyone around her.
Back then, Jeff would just look away as he tried to ignore his feelings for his childhood friend.
While Jess is having her embarrassing moment while being stared at by all the lecherous guys around her, Trud will come to her rescue. Or so Jeff thought at that time.
Jeff would later know that Trud did something to Jess after dragging her away from their group.
Trud is Jess's current boyfriend, so Jeff thought that there was nothing wrong even if Trud did something perverted to Jess upon getting horny after seeing her naked breasts. However, upon seeing Jess's uncomfortable behavior after that event, Jeff regrets his decision not to stop Trud from dragging Jess away.
That was Jess's fate on her first event that Jeff needs to interfere with by taking Trud's place.
Everything that Trud did to Jess before, Jeff must be the one to do it now.

[Event: Sexual Pleasure and Desire (Start Time: 0)]
A few minutes before Jess's first event starts, Jeff gets into the water and stealthy approaches Jess's location by diving and staying underwater for a minute, like a pervert who's secretly looking at the girls' bottom while pretending to be snorkeling on the beach.
At the exact moment that Jess was hit by the perverted wave, Jeff had already made his way beside Jess.
Like what Jeff remembers in his past before his regression, the perverted wave indeed took Jess's swimsuit, exposing her naked breasts. But this time, no one would have the pleasure of enjoying the sight of her naked breasts, not the lecherous guys around her nor Jeff himself.
As soon as the perverted wave runs away back to the sea with Jess's swimsuit, Jeff comes out of the water and embraces Jess to hide her naked breasts from everyone's eyes.
"Hey.!.. What are you..."
Jess retorted to Jeff upon getting surprised by the sudden embrace, but upon feeling the sensation of her naked breasts pressed against the bare skin of Jeff's chest, her face blushed and suddenly became quiet.

[Sexual Desire (Love): 20 percent]
[Status: Mission]
While Jeff is embracing Jess tightly, the holographic screen of the Returner Fantasy System appears in his eyes. And for whatever reason, Jess's affection and sexual desire went up.
Jeff at least wants to know what is happening to Jess, but he needs to proceed to the next part of his plan to complete Jess's first event.
On Jeff's right hand is his white jacket that he was wearing earlier paired with his black swim trunks. He removed it before diving into the water and kept it in his hands for one purpose. To wrap it around Jess and hide her naked breasts.
When Jeff let go of Jess, he immediately wrapped his jacket around her shoulders.
Jess immediately covers her breasts with both of her hands the moment Jeff stops embracing her. And even though she's glaring with a sharp look in her eyes towards Jeff, she understands what Jeff is asking her to do.
"Close your eyes, perv!"
Jeff closed his eyes in response to Jess's request, and then Jess removed her hands, covering her breasts to slide them in on the sleeves of the jacket. Her breasts might get exposed to everyone around them while wearing Jeff's jacket, so Jess lean forward, pressing her body to Jeff to hide from everyone's eyes.
"Don't think that this will change anything between us, prev."
Jess was thankful to Jeff for saving her from being exposed naked to the lecherous guys who were ogling her the moment she got in the water. Yet the tone of her voice still carries hate and resentment towards Jeff.
Jeff feels saddened upon hearing Jess's remark. But he knows that he can only blame himself for Jess's behavior towards him. After all, he's the one who ignored his childhood friend for almost three years.
Either way, Jeff can feel guilty about what he did at another time. Right now, what he needs to do is to continue with his plan to complete Jess's first event.
"If you have nothing to say, then I'm leaving."
Jess walks away from Jeff, heading toward her friends, who are resting in the shade of their umbrellas on the beach. But before she could walk a meter away from him, Jeff grabbed her left hand and pulled him towards the direction of their hotel.
"Wait!... Where are you taking me, prev!"
"Just follow me, Jess."
"And why would I?"
"Because I want to be with you, okay?"
It's neither the right answer nor a convincing one, but it is what Jeff truly feels for Jess. Either way, Jeff was able to drag Jess away from the beach towards their hotel.
Jess didn't complain and just let Jeff pull her while holding her hand. She didn't cause any commotion and try to get away from Jeff, not because she agreed to go together to where Jeff might be planning to go but because of the one flaw in her personality. And Jeff is taking advantage of it.
Jeff knows Jess more than everyone, being more than just a childhood friend. She's beautiful and attractive, but that is not everything to admire about Jess. She's smart and has a strong-willed personality. Sometimes, even to the point that she looks like a tomboyish girl. Yet Jess has one flaw, and that is being a bit of a pushover unable to reject the request of other people around her.
Jess is not people-smart and can't judge the actual intentions of everyone around her. If someone at least related to her kept on nagging her to do things even if she disliked it, she would end up forcing herself to comply with their demand.
Jeff has taken advantage of Jess's pushover personality when they were young as he always forces his will to stay at Jess's side. And now, he's doing it again like a kid who always wanted to play and be together with his childhood friend.

Inside the elevator of the hotel, Jess stands feeling awkward beside Jeff while Jeff remains holding her hand.
"If you don't tell me where we are going, then I'm leaving right now, prev."
Jess threaten Jeff with a serious tone in her voice, along with a sharp glare. But Jeff didn't feel threatened at all. After all, he kind of loved seeing Jess's serious expression. It's not that he's a masochist who enjoys Jess's sadistic behavior. It was just that Jess's serious personality made her more attractive in Jeff's eyes.
"We're just heading to your hotel room so you can change your swimsuit."
Jeff didn't know where Trud dragged Jess back then in the event of his past before his regression. But if there's one place where Jeff can do anything he wants to Jess without getting caught by their friends who are currently enjoying their time on the beach, it's either inside his hotel room or Jess's hotel room. And the latter would be much easier to have Jess go with him.
"And do you think I needed you to come with me for that?"
Jess suspiciously asks Jeff.
Jeff, on the other hand, can only answer with what he truly feels.
"Well, some other guys might bother you along the way if you're on your own. Who knows what might happen if they somehow learn that you're not wearing anything on top under my jacket? I don't want anyone else putting their hands on you except me."
"What do you mean except you?... As if I'm gonna let you touch me, prev!"
Even though Jess retorts with harsh words, Jeff can feel her hold tightening as their hands hold each other with their fingers intertwined.
At the same time, Jeff can see the changes in Jess's status on the holographic screen of the Returner Fantasy System.
