      by Emerlyn — "Sniff. Sob." Haero sniffled as he crinkled the hamburger wrapper. Yoon Moo-hwa, who had been drinking coffee with his chin resting on his hand, reached out and unwrapped it for Haero. At the same time, Haero continued to sob pitifully. Seeing how neatly Yoon Moo-hwa had unwrapped it compared to him, Haero felt pathetic, wondering if he couldn't even do this. So he closed his eyes, whimpering, and started pulling at the vegetables peeking out from the bun. "Hey, what are you doing!" A startled…

      by Emerlyn — The overnight leave time for new cadets is very short. It's so brief that it might be more appropriate to call it an outing. Yoon Moo-hwa, whose return time was delayed due to refueling, ended up being the one to send Haero off instead of the other way around. It was the first time, because everytime before, Haero had been the one to see him off and wait. This kind of farewell was also a first. Yoon Moo-hwa rubbed his slightly stubbly cheek, not having shaved yet, and picked up the note left on…

      by Emerlyn — "Ugh, wait a minute!" He bumped into the wall with a thud. Haero was startled by the sound and opened his eyes wide. He tried to push away the large body pressing against him to stop Yoon Moo-hwa, but he didn't budge. Rather, he pushed in with twice the force of the slight push. "V-voice!" "You can't hear it. The ship's engine is so loud." "T-the door...!" "No one can enter my room without permission. Open your mouth." On the ship, Yoon Moo-hwa transformed into someone accustomed to…

      by Emerlyn — An officer who looked about Yoon Moo-hwa's age greeted him. It was an unfamiliar face.  When Haero showed his wariness without hiding it, the other person laughed loudly with a "Hahaha."  He seemed to have an easygoing personality. "We met at a party before, but I guess you don't remember." "The kid's a bit shy around strangers." The reply was brief. Judging by Yoon Moo-hwa's comfortable attitude, they seemed to be peers. Still, Haero's wariness didn't ease. He often went to…

      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 — Haero and Yoon Moo-hwa went to the hospital together. It was to get a health checkup form to submit when enrolling. Haero was familiar with hospitals, having frequented them as a child for all sorts of tests and treatments, as he had received vaccinations later than others and had more infectious agents.  After having a blood test and waiting for the results, Yoon Moo-hwa, who had disappeared briefly, appeared and called him, "Haero, let's get just one shot." Haero, who had never doubted…

      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 — 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…
