      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 — The aide, frozen stiff, stammered a reply. "I-I bought it at the roadside tobacco shop in front!" "Have that shop tracked down immediately." Yoon Moo-hwa snapped fiercely. Grinding his teeth and growling, he continued shouting, "NOW!" The startled aide ran toward the exit as if his backside was on fire. In the empty room, Yoon Moo-hwa slowly opened his hand. The crumpled cigarette pack revealed itself. No, more precisely, the contents inside were the issue. Yoon Moo-hwa gripped the pack and…

      by Emerlyn — Instantly, Haero understood who the "big fish" was. The Captain had come for revenge. Revenge against the unwelcome visitor Yoon Moo-hwa who had invaded his island like a plague, and against the ungrateful bastard "Number 8" who had brought him there. He couldn't become a hindrance to Yoon Moo-hwa. That wasn't why he came. Haero tried to bite his tongue in one swift move, but Dong In-hak noticed and stuffed a filthy cloth with a musty smell and salty taste into Haero's mouth. "I always had an eye for…

      by Emerlyn — "Where's the nearest hospital that can transport patients?"  "At least 5 hours away."  Yoon Moo-hwa swallowed a low groan. Emergency ambulance ships designed for surgery don't enter these waters, which are beyond red, nearly black in danger level. That meant there was no option but to transfer the patient to this ship for treatment. "Send a helicopter for emergency transport of the patient to be treated on the flagship. Afterward, we'll try to transfer them to a hospital as we round…

      by Emerlyn — With Haero crying so hard he could barely open his eyes, Yoon Moo-hwa clenched his teeth. He was lovable. Unbearably lovable, and that tore at Yoon Moo-hwa's heart. He had laid out a path for Haero to come back. It was cowardly and dishonorable. When he realized that Haero would inevitably walk that path and return to him, Yoon Moo-hwa accepted everything. He endured it even though it meant tarnishing his beliefs and all the time they had built together. Since that was his burden alone, he couldn't…

      by Emerlyn — But Yoon Moo-hwa was faster. He called out first, preventing Haero from leaving. Standing rigidly, Haero's back revealed both stubbornness and bewilderment.  Yoon Moo-hwa rested his forehead in his hand. With clenched teeth, he muttered lowly, "Seems you know you've done something wrong."  "......"  "Fine. Let me hear it from you. Did you have the surgery?" From behind his hand, Yoon Moo-hwa raised his gaze and stared intently. Haero slowly turned around. Seeing him biting his…

      by Emerlyn — The description was so vivid that one could almost feel the salty smell floating in the dawn air, the damp sea fog, the atmosphere that made bodies droop, and that cold wind said to penetrate to the bone. "But there! The guy standing there was wearing the blue work uniform we don't use anymore! I thought that was strange, so I approached him, and he actually asked me, 'Aren't you Deck Chief Shin?' I said, 'No, I'm Deck Chief Choi. Who are you?' Then he suddenly started mumbling." Haero glanced at the…

      by Emerlyn — Haero volunteered to stand watch instead of the medical officer. He felt he wouldn't be able to sleep at all. Whether his eyes were closed or open, that massive, blurry light lingered in his vision. It was believable enough to be an artificial sun or moon in the sky. Perhaps the fear he felt at that time made it seem larger and brighter. Haero thought he wouldn't be able to forget that light for quite some time. If he had been on a lost ship, could he have resisted being drawn to that light? If he…
