Jihoon swept the gold from the small picture frame.

A sharp piece of glass stuck out and pricked my hand.

Hyo-jeong followed suit and rested her chin on Ji-hoon's shoulder and asked.

"who is this?"

"uh?"

Hyo-jeong was startled. Ji-hoon's expression hardened in real time.

"Ahaha..! I made a mistake, I'm going..!"

"okay."

Ji-hoon put down the picture frame and looked up at the star-filled sky.

"Should I go on patrol?"

He got up, opened the pearl-studded door, and went into the deep sea.

I felt the water pressure getting stronger as I approached the boundary line.

As always, beyond that boundary, a torrent of sound formed, enveloping everything.

It was the same that day, that day too.

That day, just a few days after I was appointed as a patrolman.

Maybe it would have been better if I hadn't gone on patrol then, if I hadn't met her, and if the tragedy had been avoided.

For now, it was just a fantasy.

"Okay... I understand..."

The woman, who answered without knowing why, came to that place every day.

We became close on our own, and I started to feel some feelings for Dahyun.

As I looked at her black hair blowing in the wind and her eyes shining brightly in the sunlight, something deep inside me felt like it was crumbling.

One day, he brought me a thick novel with a bookmark coated with colorful fallen leaves and a refreshing forest scent.

The name of the book was probably [The Ugly Last].

And then he read me a passage.

"Ji-hoon, there's a saying here?"

"What is that?"

"Only a few can have a splendid ending, so don't expect a splendid ending."

지훈 • 붉은상어 image

지훈 • 붉은상어

"...I can't tell if it's a good thing or a negative thing."

"Really? I still hope for a spectacular ending."

"..Why? Even the book says it's not good, so why..?"

"Yeah, I really want to do that."

"I'm... that's the kind of person I am... but it's too much of a waste to give up a glamorous ending to my life."

"No, admit it."

Jihoon smiled faintly that day.

Listening to her, I pictured the solar system I had never seen before, and imagined what might be beyond the ocean.

Jihoon laughed every day while repeating it.

One day, I will give Dahyun a flower that resembles her.
