Have a Meal Before You Go

Shhhhh...

Aah!

The white currents fly to the gravel beach and melt away.

Hong Guk Hyun gazed at the distant sea from the docks where his boat was tied up.

I see that calm, tranquil sea as always. I thought I heard a sound when I stared still.

Shoot, shoot, and the sound is branded in your ears and now you can hear it everywhere.

Can we get out of the ocean?

Suddenly, I thought that.

“Captain!”

A colleague shouts from afar.

Hong Guk Hyun looked over, shaking his head to the left and to the right.

“The storm is coming the day after tomorrow morning! If we don't get on the boat today, we have a week to play! ”

“That's right. ”

Then he took a volatile walk to the pier.

The boats in Hongkok Prefecture are the largest in Yeosu Sea. Hong Guk Hyun, who was on board the ship, made sure that all the sailors were on board.

Today's weather is clear and sunny. The wind is a southeastern wind.The sea is still calm, but we don't know when it will change.

Grrrrr...

The stallion engine is starting to cry loudly.

Deserting -

Within.

The ship is headed for the sea.

Set sail.

.

“Oops-!"

The horsepower pulls the net as it moves. Inside the net, a silver glow flashed.

“Whoo-hoo! ”

You grab the edge of the net where the fishermen are drawn, and lift the fish onto the boat. The fish were full of them.

“Huh? Captain! Baco Fish!”

One of the crew shouts.

“Baco Fish? ”

Hong Kook Hyun tilted his head to check the fish. A beautiful silver scale with a pointy nose and six fins. Baco Fish was sure.

“I can't believe these guys got caught in Namhae. This is rare......”

“...... ”

Baco Fish was a much southernmost species grown in the Philippine Sea. The air currents are different from Namhae, so it is very rare to get caught from this side.

And most of all,

There's always a poetry suppent around these guys. It's because they like baco fish.

“Poetry suspension! ”

On board are three Awakenings from the Association. Seeing them urgently on the prow, a Awakener ran up.

“Captain, that's strange. I don't see any monsters. ”

“Not a single one? ”

“Yes, I usually have to observe a few city suspensions, but I don't have any left. ”

“...... ”

Is it Hojae?

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the dream was fulfilled. Baco Fish was heavy and lively, and it tasted expensive even when baked, cooked and roasted.

But...

Above the sea, there is no reason.

It's strange.

Knng, knng -

Hong Guk Hyun sniffed as he felt a strange air flow. From afar, a little bit of subtle water began to stink.

“......? ”

He hurriedly pulls out a large cloth from his pocket and spreads it out into the air. The cloth flows down from there, without any flakes.

The wind stopped?

When the cool sea breeze stopped, all of a sudden, what I was looking for was a dense atmosphere and heat. Sweat flowed down from my forehead as if a tropical yacht had come for a moment.

Moonlight -

He looks back. Land is already so far out of sight.

Strange thing. The storm was clearly south of South Korea, and it was only supposed to be in the South Sea around dawn the day after tomorrow - it was decided by Hong Kong Prefecture a few seconds ago.

“Retreat!”

“Captain? We've got three more of our nets! ”

The sailor shouted.

Hongkok Hyun once again hooked up.

“We're returning! Strange wind! ”

And as soon as the nets were all up, I turned.

Booaaaaah!

It was time for the engine to spin and turbulently accelerate.

Phew! Phew!

A backwind blows.

Appearance-

The calm sea reveals ferocious teeth. A white-scull, an unpredictable gust in the sea that had never even been beaten.

Kuaaaaahhh!

The gust hits every side in an instant. The sea ran, and the sky quickly turned dim.

Kuaaaaaa-!

It was raining soon.

Shoot!

Obviously, it was a peaceful world until just a moment ago, but it turned into hell in just 10 seconds.

Whistle, whistle!

The ship shakes without cause. Hong Guk Hyun shouted.

“Drop the meat! The boat is heavy!”

Living is on the line, but nothing is more important than life. The nets are cut, and the coveted baco fish return to the wild.

Kwaaaahhhh -!

Hong Guk Hyun entered the control room and captured the control.

Kuang -

‘Not good. ’

The waves were being hit on the side of the ship. The boat leaned to the left and to the right. Waves should be taken as a ship player. You have to accept it as part of your head. You can then cut through the waves, but it is difficult to move in the direction you want if you get it as a player.

What do we do? ’

Hong Kook Hyun urgently looked at the crew on the deck and the Awakened.

Kuaaaaaaaa -

A wave the size of a gathering wave swept over the boat.

Kuku Gugu -!

The waves hit the rear, and the boat crashes.

-Honey.

I hear voices coming from somewhere. In the middle of the Black Sea, far away.

- Dad!

And the voice of his son buried in the sea.

rubble

For a moment, my whole body trembled. In the past, I remembered a huge wave that swept away my family.

Black skies that day, dark seas.

- Honey...

- Father......

My voice echoes in my ears. I was suffocated by the burden and responsibility to the end of my chin.

.

After a thunderstorm, the blade breeze blows hard.

Kung-Kung-

The window trembles dangerously. Tangerines were covered in blankets and their buttocks were twisted.

When the wind is rising, when it is frequent.

Tangerine peeled off the blanket and looked at the pupa that was left in the window frame by the tight-knit gear.

“Hot!”

.

Hong Guk Hyun slammed his head as he gripped it. Blood rushes down from my forehead, and my lips soak up from my nose. He licked the blood.

My wife is dead.

My son is dead, too.

The damn ocean swallowed it all up.

And now, he tries to swallow even those who can't swallow.

“You think I'm gonna let that happen? ”

I came to my senses.

And then I moved the cockpit, and I got the wave as a player.

Aaaaah!

The currents crack, and the ship's vibration stops.

Shoot!

The boat went across the middle of a stormy sea.

Boom, boom!

The sky howled and the sea shook harder. However, the ship was moving on.

* * *

“Pa, Pa, Pa, Pa! ”

Tangerine ran to Huddah and showed him the box. The pupae there, they were quite well preserved.

“Ah, the main river! ”

Tangerine, who was staring at them all the time, felt so much better that she jumped up and down on the bed.

Chulho smiled and lifted his tangerine and kissed his cheek. And I sat him at the table.

Talk-

The chrysalis is moving.

One day in the past.

In the middle of the battlefield, when autumn was ripening, we found autumn butterfly pupae.

Quite an odd-looking chrysalis was struggling with elongation. So, I watched quietly, and then I woke up and became a beautiful autumn butterfly.

The butterfly flies through the bloodstained middle of the battlefield and disappears to the other side.

Cheolho remembered that it was quite beautiful, and he had been watching for a while.

Wriggle!

While thinking like that, I feel a baby. Cheolho turns his head and looks at the table.

“Baby.”

“Ugh.”

“He's waking up. ”

“Huh?”

Tangerine opened her eyes and looked inside the box.

Indeed.

The pupae struggle slightly, but the shells start to crack apart.

I watched Tangerine breathlessly.

Breaking out pupae was also a huge process of growth.

One is also the last hurtful process. If we do that, then we can be free.

Ta-dah.

The battle of pupae continues. He worked hard all night, finally.

Oops.

I cut my back long enough. It was an autumn butterfly with four layers of wings that resembled a leaf.

The butterfly spreads its wings wide and stands on its shell for a long time.

It took me half a day to dry my wings. And then you do the wings.

* * *

Kuaaaaaa-!

The storm has been raging for a while, but the ship is stabilizing steadily. Hong Guk Hyun desperately captured the control group. Centered the weight and lowered the operating range of the engine to a minimum.

Shhh!

It was a lot of watering on the boat.

The Black Sea.

Sackhaman sky.

A gust on the sea that seems to last forever.

And at that moment, when I saw the clear sky, Hong Kong Hyun sat down.

Shya-ah-ah

The winds embroidering the world, the waves. At that moment, it disappeared without a trace.

Hong Guk Hyun sat there and giggled.

Suddenly, the world calmed down. The clear sun shines upon the still sea. Suddenly the color turns blue and white.

Waaaahhhh!

I hear the crew screaming.

Hong Guk Hyun stood up and shouted.

“Check the numbers! ”

Fortunately, no one was swept away.

After everything was over, the sea was always the same.

It's just gloriously beautiful.

* * *

“Captain.”

“Captain?”

Hong Guk Hyun stood on his docked ship and looked at the sea for a long time.

Somehow, I thought the sea stink that was full of my heart disappeared.

“Huh.”

“Aren't you coming down? ”

Hong Guk Hyun stretched out his hand and turned his gaze to the far sea again.

He stared at the sea for half a day, doing nothing.

Everything.

I felt washed away.

The soaked body dried up, and it wasn't until the white salt was caught in the skin that he turned around.

I was smiling more quietly than ever before.

.

- Here comes the fish!

If not the usual time, I hear his voice and Chulho turns his head.

I feel good whenever I hear a pleasant voice, Chulho replied.

“Yes!”

When he opened the door, he stood as usual. No, it's not like usual.

“This is all I have today. ”

What he gave me was a baco fish that was well frozen by the rigging technique.

It was so big, it looked good.

“Yes?”

“Well, there's one in the boat. ”

“...... ”

Chulho glanced at it quietly, and saw him. He smiles brighter and more sweetly than ever.

“Hahaha! No more money! And......”

He hesitates a little and reaches out to Chulho.

“Thank you for buying our fish in the meantime. ”

Cheolho frowns and looks at his hand. It's because I understood what he meant.

Then, I shook hands, smiling.

“You're welcome.”

He folds his head in a very frenzied manner and tightly hugs Iron Hood.

Beating his back like the man of the sea, he turns cheerfully and walks out of the alleyway.

His back no longer smells of the sea.

You hear no waves.

And the smell of storms in the rough seas.

Above the fence in the alley where he left, three autumn butterflies fly down the firefly.

The End
