      by Emerlyn — Yoon Moo-hwa threw down the wet handkerchief and dropped his legs from the desk. Contact with the necessary networks and personnel was complete. Gripping a pencil while clutching his head as if tearing at his hair, he quickly wrote out the document stating his intention to leave the military, equivalent to a resignation letter for an office worker.  With his leg shaking, tearing at his hair, and muttering incessantly, he looked like an immaculately groomed drug addict. After neatly folding…

      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 — "Hah, ha, h-hyung. Yes, there... That's good. Ah! Harder, harder..."  "Haah, Haero likes it here... Doesn't it hurt?"  "It hurts, but! I-I like it... Ah, I feel like I'm dying... hnng."  "Then we shouldn't..."  "No, ah! Th-that's what I like. Haah!" Haero scratched down Yoon Moo-hwa's spine as he tilted his head back. Yoon Moo-hwa cupped Haero's head to prevent it from hitting anything as he thrust upward. With no patience to make it to the bed, he had Haero leaning…

      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…

      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 — The boiler room storage was very warm. Haero and Yoon Moo-hwa sat facing each other with their legs raised and crossed, sharing a palm-sized container of jelly pudding. Though such sweet things weren't to his taste, Yoon Moo-hwa willingly accepted the spoonful that Haero offered like a mother bird, finding it cute how much Haero wanted him to eat it. "But why here?" The boiler room that Yoon Moo-hwa had summoned him to after duty hours was literally steaming with heat. Haero had loosened his activity…
