      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…

      by Emerlyn — The first night after departure is deepening. Haero, staying awake, volunteered for sickbay duty and opened his diary. It's a new diary bought to commemorate his boarding. On the first page, Haero wrote the date and quickly jotted down one sentence. ‘I met him today.’ In Haero's diary, Yoon Moo-hwa has no name. There was no need to mention others, and even if someone else appeared, for Haero, 'he' was only Yoon Moo-hwa. The total time he met him today wouldn't even add up to 3 minutes. It's…

      by Emerlyn — The sickbay on the ship isn't very large. Even on a ship big enough to accommodate around 400 crew members, though not as massive as a Type 1 aircraft carrier, this was no exception. With technological advancements, the onboard medical systems had also improved. It was no longer just about providing emergency hemostasis or prescribing motion sickness medication; they were now equipped to perform simple suturing surgeries or create plaster casts. Nevertheless, it was still an environment where the…

      by Emerlyn — As he crossed the threshold, the bell rang three times. The deck crew, including the boatswain and several officers who were tidying up the deck upon the notification of the captain's arrival, saluted. Yoon Moo-hwa casually returned their salutes and entered the captain's quarters with a stern expression. Once inside, he checked the list of new crew members. Thirteen sailors and four officers. It was a considerable number. Among the listed information, the most notable item was that a new medical…

      by Emerlyn — It's another new year. For Yoon Moo-hwa, it was the same old new year, with nothing particularly noteworthy except for the fact that somehow, the civilization of this generation was still continuing. The conversations at gatherings were all the same old tiresome topics. Despite early marriage or partnerships becoming commonplace, he was surely past the prime marriage age, yet he was still tired of people trying to set him up with their sons and daughters, asking if he wouldn't like to meet…

      by Emerlyn — Yoon Moo-hwa pushed Haero away. He removed his hand from his chest, grabbed a towel, and left the booth. "I'll wash over there, you wash here." Haero, who had been standing under the warm water Yoon Moo-hwa had set, followed him out. Yoon Moo-hwa, dripping wet, was looking for something. When he opened the drawer, he saw an e-cigarette. Next to it was a string. It was the kind sailors used to practice knot-tying. Haero had one too. He would fiddle with it whenever he tried to organize his thoughts…

      by Emerlyn — A calm, low voice. Yoon Moo-hwa lifted Number 8 smoothly. Unlike the leader, Yoon Moo-hwa supported Number 8's bottom and legs, giving him a stable lift. Number 8 blinked. "I-it's dangerous for me to be out." "It's alright." If anyone approached, they could hide back in the sea or the forest. Yoon Moo-hwa could hold his breath longer than Number 8. He had often trained for underwater combat without auxiliary equipment. It would have been quite troublesome to explain to Number 8, who was…

      by Emerlyn — Seon Ikhyeon gritted his teeth. It was better when he was so quiet it was stifling.  Yoon Moo-hwa becoming talkative was truly unpleasant. "It seems you've already heard from the former major, but did you already know about Haero's feelings for me?" "...I didn't know. But if those feelings are real, I do know that you're probably the first person Haero has ever liked." Because that kid really wasn't interested in anyone else, just like someone else I know. Seon Ikhyeon swallowed his bitter…
