      by Emerlyn — The Australian continent began to come into view. It was the first port of call. A naval port had been built at Shell Beach, at the end of the Nanga region in Western Australia. Originally, it was connected to Cape Peron like a thin strip, but as sea levels rose, it became disconnected once at Shell Beach. Cape Peron, which repeatedly revealed and hid itself according to the tides, was showing its shy appearance today. The crew members were very excited about stepping on land for the first time in…

      by Emerlyn — The Captain's sister remained silent, just as Haero remembered her. No, she couldn't speak. She untied a small bundle from her wrist. Inside were unidentifiable packets and small pieces of bread. The bread looked like focaccia, moist on the outside and fluffy inside. When the Captain's sister nodded, Salmo approached Haero and removed his gag. "Better not even think about biting your tongue. If you fail, I'll make you regret not being able to die." Salmo made this savage threat. He had always…

      by Emerlyn — Haero hugged Yoon Moo-hwa  tightly. Yoon Moo-hwa  embraced the child dangling from his waist, his body only half his size, and swallowed a sigh. How should I tell him that I have to leave? As time diminishes, the expiration date for what he can explain is getting shorter, and strangely, the words that came so easily to family and friends he spent his youth with won't come out. It's because of the sea fog. Yoon Moo-hwa  blamed the salty mist creeping in from the sea and…

      by Emerlyn — Haero knocked on the door of the supervisor's office. "Yeah. Come in." At the answer from across, he opened the door to find the supervisor looking up from something he had been scribbling. When Haero saluted, the supervisor returned it with a very relaxed posture before burying his head back on the desk and mumbling, "Phone call. Answer it." Haero put the still-connected phone to his ear. "Cadet Haero speaking." ―Hello, Haero. A deep, pleasant voice with just a hint of amusement,…

      by Emerlyn — Was it because he had been in a similar situation a few hours ago, so he knew what they were doing? Haero suddenly felt very wronged and angry at the same time. He clenched his fists tightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to do something like that; he couldn't. How many years had he spent abstaining because of Yoon Moo-hwa? It had been four years since he had the right to sexual self-determination, and he hadn't been able to have a proper relationship because of his heartless first love, and now he…

      by Emerlyn — "――!" Yoon Moo-hwa clenched his teeth so hard his gums might have detached, suppressing any groan that might reveal their position. This too was part of the training he had received, but while he could hold back sounds, he couldn't reduce the pain. Haero abruptly sat up. At that moment, he clearly felt something was wrong with the rubber boat. The floor was rocking. "Stay still. Just a little further to go." Reflexively, cold sweat broke out and heat rushed through his body. Yoon Moo-hwa…

      by Emerlyn — The first time he saw those, he was with Yoon Moo-hwa too. Yoon Moo-hwa originally never attended social events like parties. He said he started going to such places after bringing Haero. The drone show began as midnight passed and the year changed. Looking at the dazzling spectacle decorating the sky, Haero understood why Yoon Moo-hwa had brought him. Back then, it was at the base and smaller than shows on land. Still, it was enough to completely mesmerize and enchant him. "Haero, do you like…

      by Emerlyn — At the morning briefing, all the officers gathered and sat down. Despite only a few days since setting sail, the atmosphere had quickly become harmonious. Haero also engaged in light conversation. Yet, beneath the table, his hands anxiously clenched and unclenched. "The captain is entering." At that voice, a now-familiar thud sensation sent shivers through his entire body. Everyone stood up. As a newly appointed officer, Haero was seated in the middle of the table. More experienced officers sat…
