The fishy and refreshing smell that mixes with the wind and penetrates your nose, and the chirping of birds over the horizon.
Rather than the sound of the waves in front of my eyes, those things made me realize that I had come to the sea.
“Oh, hand over the receipt to me. I will remit the amount written to Dojin’s account.”
“it’s okay.”
“It’s the girl’s name. If you do not follow me, I will be in a very difficult situation, so even if it makes you uncomfortable, please cooperate with Dojin-sama’s generous generosity.”
I purchased food at a nearby discount mart and handed the receipt to Oh Cheong-myeong. He got out of the car and returned to his original humble and gentle ‘Agent Oh Cheong-myeong’.
“Are you riding this? Really? Are you going to ride this?”
Meanwhile, Midsummer was repeating the same words with her dirty mouth wide open, which she had been drooling a while ago. just don’t do it
A boat was moored in front of us now. A cruise-type yacht that is different from the fishing boats that are usually used to enter the island.
The prow of a jet-style design reminiscent of a jet plane, an open lounge, and armchairs installed so that you can enjoy the sea and the sky at the same time catch your eye one after the other.
The interior, glimpsed through the balcony on the lower floor, was luxuriously decorated, reminiscent of a three-star hotel.
“sorry. I wanted to take a better boat, but I had no choice as there is only one boat available at the moment.”
“There is something better than this… … ?”
A plastic bag with the old-fashioned logo of a discount mart, held in both hands in midsummer, begins to tremble.
“Are you on board?”
“Are you just the two of us? I thought we were all going together.”
I said.
“According to the lady, the arrival of some people is going to be delayed due to a sudden incident at the company, so don’t wait and pick up those who arrived first.”
Come to think of it, Dasom noona’s letter I saw in the morning said that it might be a little late because something happened.
We followed the guidance of Oh Cheongmyeong and moved on. As expected, the interior of the yacht was so luxurious that it was difficult to set foot on it.
“Crazy, what kind of boat likes a house… … ?”
The plastic bag that Midsummer was holding fell with a popping sound.
* * *
About 30 minutes after the yacht departed, a small marina and a lighthouse came into our sight as we sat in the lounge and watched the scenery outside.
I didn’t know it from afar, but when I got there, it was a pretty big island, contrary to what Oh Cheong-myung said.
In front of the marina, there were stairs leading to the forest and a lift for transporting goods, and to the right was a long road going along the side of the island.
The refreshing sound of the trees, the sound of the waves crashing, and the sea breeze that tickled my cheeks felt very refreshing.
“It is incredibly well decorated. I think you said uninhabited island… … .”
“Yes, the company manages it regularly. Well, it’s just a waste of money.”
Oh Cheong-myeong, who responded to the midsummer looking around the island, seemed to have a bone somewhere in the horse.
Raising his bangs fluttering in the wind, he twitched his temples and spoke.
“It would be amazing to hear how much money is being used to run electricity on this island. Unfortunately, it can be used as a meaningful place like this today.”
Oh Cheong-myung, who looked at the island for a long time with a twisted smile, immediately smiled brightly with his usual expression and continued talking.
“First of all, the schedule for the first day will be held on the other side of the island, so I will take you there.”
Oh Cheong-myung said, pointing to the electric cart parked on the road. It was an electric cart that you would only see on a golf course, but it was much larger and more luxurious than that.
“I will leave.”
On the road that runs along the outskirts of the island, an electric cart runs with a cheerful sound.
“Hey, do you have any names on this island?”
“Yes, first of all, it has the name of Cheongwado (靑蛙島).”
“Cheongwa? Blue tiles?”
Midsummer tilts her head.
“Haha, in Korean, it means tree frog island. The name was given by the previous president after he toured the island. It’s an island where a lot of fickle things happen. The current president often says that’s the charm, but… … ”
“It’s capricious… which?”
“Well, you will find out. It is also fun to experience it firsthand.”
“Hmm… … .”
Midsummer clenched his chin and let out a soft moan. Maybe he’s trying to predict what that whim is.
“Since the story about Yiwang Island has come out, I will give you a brief introduction to the facilities. In the forest rising on the left, there is a small park good for a walk and a villa for a good night’s sleep. … .”
As I listened to the guide, I slowly admired the island with a cool breeze.
… …
“Then, I will go away. We hope you have a great time.”
We decided to get off at a distance from our destination. Because there was a request from midsummer to see the sea.
“You did a really good job.”
Leaving behind the moving electric cart, we walked along the beach and headed to the campsite, the meeting point.
“Strange smell. And it’s sticky.”
Midsummer murmured quietly. He seemed unfamiliar with the feel of the seawater creeping through his sandals and tickling the soles of his feet.
“Actually, this is my first time. I came to the beach.”
“okay.”
“It’s cool.”
“yes.”
I just chimed in in moderation, but didn’t add anything special.
Because I didn’t want to disturb the guy who had a faint smile on his face.
“Oh, I think it’s over there. campsite.”
“I know.”
A few tents, caravan-inspired facilities, and toilets were located on a hill just off the sandy beach.
“I should have gotten off a little further away, but it’s closer than I thought.”
I wiggle my toes as if midsummer is a pity.
“You can come out when you have time. There is still a lot of time left.”
“yes.”
The footsteps of Midsummer, who had taken the lead with an excited voice, came to a sudden stop.
“Who came first?”
“okay?”
The tall guy pointed his finger at the shimmering silhouette in the distance. A silver silhouette fluttering like a dance.
“… … Huh, I really hoped you came.”
* * *
… … Midsummer was clutching his head, unable to overcome the oncoming headache.
“Poor girl.”
“Noisy, this traitor… … . I heard everything from Minseo unnie. Are you taking care of a runaway girl? Ha, I suddenly mumbled strange words and asked if there was anything wrong with leaving the company, but in the end it was a woman problem again. Awesome, really.”
The reason for the headache was that the woman’s naughty voice, who started pouring out abusive language like a rapid-fire gun without a proper greeting upon arrival, was annoying, but it was also
“Did you know that the company went into chaos because of that? I mean, we thought we were doing something really wrong, and we suffered so much that we couldn’t even sleep well, but during that time you were hanging out with a little girl! Was that girl that precious? Enough to betray the people of the club you’ve been with for years? What the hell are you—”
“sorry.”
“… … Yes?”
“I’m sorry, sweetie. suddenly resigned. Because I said abusive language to you guys that you shouldn’t put out of your mouth. But I didn’t leave my job because of this girl.”
I didn’t like the look of the woman who said that her arms were bent inward, and that she threw unreasonable reproaches on the man in front of her.
A woman with black hair who chased her home with her broken high heels on, Min-seo Oh with a perverted taste, and finally a woman named Dasom who keeps throwing up monster documents by tying them to stones.
In midsummer, Yu-Jin was fully aware of how good the women around him were. And how much heartache Yu Yu-jin suffered because of those people.
That girl is also obvious. From the first bird I speak, I can see that the buds are yellow.
No, isn’t it a matter of not having to come in the first place?
“Lies are… … . Ha, that’s it. After all, I didn’t expect much from you. Okay, so if Seol-ha unnie comes, apologize. Sister, you’ve become completely weird because of that. Because you said irresponsible things.”
“I know. But before that, I want to talk to you too.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Moreover, if you look closely, that woman is the same woman who hit her nose at the shopping mall she had visited last time. It seemed that the party didn’t remember it at all.
“I was afraid to talk to people because I was traumatized by something that happened in the past. Even though I knew you weren’t like that, I ran away without thinking to believe or solve it. So, pitiful—.”
“Noisy!”
The silver-haired woman violently pushes Yu-Jin as he approaches closer.
“Don’t apply candy that you don’t even want. ‘Cause it just makes me feel bad At that time, think about how to apologize to your sister, if you have a brain.”
… … However, what really annoyed me was the appearance of Yu-jin, who did not get angry even after hearing such absurd remarks.
uhh
“Aww, hey hey!”
Midsummer let out a strange scream, grabbed the sole of his right foot, and sat down on the grass at the campsite. The heat that was burning between the two of them at that desperate scream was quickly extinguished.
“What, why?”
“Follow.”
Han Yeo-reum whispered to Yu-jin, who came to check her condition.
“What?”
“Oh, hey hey hey—! I got a seashell stuck in my foot, it hurts so much! Blood, it looks like it’s bleeding!”
Ga-ryun Yu, who was watching the scene, stretched out her finger and pointed to the caravan opposite.
“… … There was a first aid kit in the caravan over there. Please take me before it’s too late.”
“Okay, let’s talk later.”
After confirming that Yu Yu-jin had disappeared, Yu Ga-ryun turned her back and started rubbing her face. Her face with transparent tears dangling from her.
